Chapter 8 The Last Cup of Original Ginger Tea 3
After Dong Yehan left, I took a nap, and when I woke up, my head was no longer groggy.
I opened the window and the warm morning sun shone in. I took a deep breath and cheered myself up.
Ju Xiaoxian, you can't be defeated so easily!
Thanks to Dong Yehan for telling me that the clue my brother left behind was the address of Professor Nan’s home. Maybe my brother’s disappearance is really related to Professor Nan’s imprisonment.
If that's the case, it's really terrible.
I immediately ran to the study to look up information about the two cases, hoping to find any related information. Just when I was full of fighting spirit, the doorbell suddenly rang. Who came so early?
"Hello, I'm here to deliver breakfast." A delivery boy with a bright smile was standing outside the door.
"I didn't order breakfast, did they send the wrong breakfast?" I waved my hands. I just woke up, how could I order takeout?
"A customer named Qian asked me to deliver it to you. He also asked me to bring you some medicine and asked me to make sure I deliver it to you."
Qiaoqiao sent it? Didn’t I call the wrong number? Qiaoqiao shouldn’t know that I’m sick?
"The other party cares about you very much." The delivery guy smiled very warmly.
Forget it, maybe Dong Yehan informed Qiaoqiao and she ordered breakfast for me.
After lying down for a night, I was very hungry. I signed for breakfast and ate it voraciously.
After eating, I returned to the study again.
There were few reports on my brother's disappearance, but the case of Professor Nan and his team stealing the college's research results was a sensation. I found newspapers from that period on the Internet, but although there were many reports, the content was similar. I searched for a long time but still found nothing.
"Oh." I sighed softly and sorted out my thoughts again.
My brother is Professor Nan's favorite student. He deliberately carved Professor Nan's home address on the Tongxin Stone. The two events happened within a week of each other...
After thinking for a long time, I felt like my head was about to explode.
But since my brother left the address of Professor Nan’s house, he must have his reasons.
It seems that I have to go to Professor Nan's house in person to see if I can find something. However, I can't go there during the day because there are too many people there. I might be caught as a thief. I can only go there at night.
Then I took another nap, and when I woke up, I felt that my body had almost recovered.
At this moment, the night is high outside the window, the moon is bright and the stars are sparse, which is perfect for me to sneak into Professor Nan's house.
I changed into a dark outfit that was inconspicuous, and walked on the road looking around. It was the first time I did this, and I was filled with nervousness and fear.
Why do I feel like a guilty thief?
"Snapped!"
I slapped my cheeks hard with both hands.
Ju Xiaoxian, you can't be afraid!
After I cheered myself up, I finally calmed down and sped up a lot. Fortunately, there were almost no pedestrians on the road, so I didn't have to worry about attracting strange looks. But I don't know if it was an illusion, I always felt that someone was following me, but when I turned around, I found nothing.
Woohoo, that’s so scary!
"Ju Xiaoxian, you can't be afraid!" I cheered myself up while running.
Fortunately, my home is not far from the college, and soon I arrived at the side door of the college. The door here is closed, but there is no security guard. I climbed up the wall and climbed over.
Phew, the climb was successful!
Although there are no students in the college now, the security guards are still patrolling everywhere responsibly.
In order to avoid the security guard, I had to run into the woods.
Suddenly, a dark shadow flashed by and my heart started pounding .
In an instant, many scenes from horror movies emerged in my mind.
Woo woo, I really want to go back!
However, I am already near Professor Nan’s house. Wouldn’t it be a waste of my efforts if I run back now?
Let’s give it a try!
I plucked up the courage to run into Professor Nan's house.
"Hoo, hoo, it's okay."
I leaned against the door and gasped. Luckily, Nan Youlun forgot to lock the door when he left last time, so I was able to get in so smoothly.
The faint moonlight shone through the window onto the deserted home. With the help of the faint light, I began to search for useful information.
I thought of the plot of looking for evidence in detective movies, and I first went to the drawers and hidden corners in the living room. However, I turned these places upside down and found nothing useful. All the items were ordinary and nothing special.
I held my chin with my hand, thinking seriously. It was normal that there was no book in the living room. After all, few people would hide important things in places that are easy to be found. They might be placed in the bedroom or study. Professor Nan and his wife were so knowledgeable. They must like reading and researching. Maybe they left some important information in the study room intentionally or unintentionally.
Hehehe, I’m so smart!
I gently pushed open the door of the study, and the smell of old books hit me. The heavy bookshelves were filled with books and materials, and the cabinets near the door were filled with decorative items. Because no one had taken care of them for a long time, everything looked a little old.
I approached the cabinet curiously. There were many trophies on it, as well as a family photo. The photo captured the happy smiles of Professor Nan's family and became the most precious memory.
I looked at the items on the cabinet carefully again and was surprised to find that these were interesting things collected from various countries.
Huh? Suddenly, I noticed a black suspicious object on the cabinet. I stood on tiptoe and tried to take it down.
Huhu, why can’t I reach it?
I jump!
I'll jump again!
Wow, I still can’t get it…
Huh? How did it fly up by itself ?
"Idiot, if you can't get it, can't you just move a stool over?"
Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded behind me.
I was so scared that I jumped up.
Dong Yehan!
"ah--"
I was frightened and took a step back, bumping into the cabinet. The cabinet, which was already shaky, fell towards me after I hit it. I opened my eyes wide in panic. I was going to be crushed!
Dong Yehan reacted very quickly and pushed the cabinet open to protect me. I felt the warmth in his arms and felt very safe.
"Are you okay?" I looked at Dong Yehan nervously, afraid that he was injured somewhere.
"It's okay! Why are you so stupid!" Dong Yehan scolded me angrily.
I pouted in grievance and looked at what he was holding. Ah, it turned out to be just an ordinary wood sculpture.
I sighed in disappointment.
At this moment, the lights in the room lit up. The bright light made everything in the room visible at a glance. It turned out that Dong Yehan turned on the lights.
I scanned the area with the help of the light and suddenly noticed something strange. The cabinet had been knocked over and hit the floor hard, creating a hole in a tile in the corner. It was strange, because normally the tile would just be cracked , so how could there be a hole?
I ran over in confusion and dug up the broken tile. It turned out to be a secret compartment with several yellowed papers neatly placed inside. I picked it up in confusion and was shocked!
This is a contract to secretly leak the school's research results to others. I turned to the end and found that the signatory of the contract was Lu Zhengyan. Isn't this the principal's name?
Oh my god, it turned out that the person who secretly leaked the college's research results to others was the respected president! But why were Professor Nan and his wife exposed?
"It turns out that the principal put the blame on Professor Nan and his wife." Dong Yehan's voice sounded behind me.
What! It turned out to be like this! Damn it! It’s so damned!
You can never judge a person by his appearance. The principal did such a thing and even put the blame on Professor Nan and his wife. He broke up a happy family without any guilt. It is simply unforgivable!
No, I must expose him!
Humph! If Dong Yehan hadn't scared me and caused me to knock over the cabinet, no one would ever know about the principal's evil deeds!
Dong Yehan!
Oh no! I was so excited just now that I forgot Dong Yehan was here too!
I turned my head stiffly and saw that he was looking at me with a frown and thin lips, as if he was angry.
"Do you owe me an explanation? Why did you come here in the middle of the night, and how did you know that Professor Nan's house had something like this hidden? What on earth are you going to do?"
"me……"
Ah, what should I do?
I lowered my head in guilt and didn't dare to look at him. How should I explain this to him? Should I continue to make up lies? But the lies will definitely be exposed.
I made up my mind and decided to forget it. I won't hide it anymore! And I know Dong Yehan is someone I can trust.
"I'm here to find evidence."
"What evidence? How do you know there is evidence here?" Dong Yehan asked with a serious face.
I took a deep breath and mustered up the courage to speak: "I actually have a brother, but he disappeared five years ago for unknown reasons. I have always believed that I can find him, so I kept collecting information. By chance, I discovered that my brother was Professor Nan's student, and Professor Nan's case and my brother's disappearance occurred only one week apart, so I suspected that the two cases might be related. Then, I got another strange clue yesterday, so here we are."
After saying that, I looked at him nervously. Would he believe it? Although it sounds ridiculous, it's all true!
After a moment of silence, Dong Yehan asked calmly, "The missing person Feng Yueming that you proposed to investigate is your brother? The real purpose of your joining the investigation team is to get us to help investigate his case?"
My heart tightened. As expected, he guessed my original purpose.
"Um."
At this moment, his thin lips were tightly pursed, and no expression could be seen on his handsome face. I was very afraid that he would ignore me forever, or even hate me. I didn't want to lie to him anymore.
I nodded gently: "Feng Yueming is my brother. I came to Jinkui College to study to investigate my brother's missing case. Later, you invited me to join the investigation team. I thought that if you investigated my brother's case, there might be new discoveries... I'm sorry." I apologized sincerely.
"If I hadn't discovered these, would you have never told me anything in your life?" After a moment's silence, when I was so nervous that my heart was about to jump out, Dong Yehan slowly spoke.
"No, I just don't know how to start the conversation." I explained quickly, afraid that he would misunderstand me again.
"Haven't you ever thought of asking me for help in such a dangerous situation? If I hadn't been worried that you would be in danger and followed you here, I wouldn't know anything. What if the principal knew that you had discovered his secret and wanted to harm you?" Dong Yehan stood in front of me and taught me a lesson very seriously.
"You followed me? It turns out that you are the one who followed me stealthily!"
"You dare to come here alone even though you know someone is following you, Ju Xiaoxian. You are so brave!" Dong Yehan looked like he was about to go crazy with me.
"But I finally got the clue, I won't give up easily." When I thought that he still cared about me, I couldn't help but raise the corners of my lips and smiled secretly.
"Don't change the subject. You are in a very dangerous situation now, do you know that?" Dong Yehan looked at the beam of light coming from outside and quickly turned off the lights.
I guess the security guard saw the light and heard the noise and came over to check. I quickly covered my mouth and dared not make any sound.
Seeing the flashlight beam getting closer, Dong Yehan held my hand tightly and protected me behind him.
I felt the warmth coming from my palms and felt extremely warm and at ease.
"Idiot, hurry up." Dong Yehan urged helplessly.
"Um!"
