Chapter 87: Sudden Job Transfer
"What? What? You want me to investigate the new staff at your school over the recent period, regardless of whether they are janitors, security guards, or teachers?" Su Hui expressed considerable surprise when she received Gu Fan’s call.
Gu Fan confirmed, "Yes, I find these people a bit unusual. I hope I’m just overthinking it, but I’m genuinely worried."
"Alright, I will get it done as quickly as possible, but I need some time," Su Hui gave Gu Fan a satisfactory reply. After the call ended, Gu Fan put away his phone, his face full of concern.
If the other party truly had the capability of planting their people in the school, it could mean they had a way of making Lin Xi disappear from campus. The previously perceived safety of the school now seemed naive.
But there was one thing Gu Fan didn’t understand. The campus hosted nearly thirty thousand students, not counting the seniors on internships or the thousands of teachers. With all the activity and surveillance, how could the other party operate?
Qian Chuan had vanished after climbing over the wall and leaving the campus alone in the dead of night. He didn’t disappear on campus. Gu Fan had believed in the safety of the school, but with the current disappearances, many of the missing students had vanished in crowded places. Therefore, having many people around didn’t guarantee safety.
Gu Fan was getting increasingly restless and began questioning. He felt that Lin Xi would be in danger wherever she stayed - the threat lad looming over them all the time.
"No, it’s not like that." Gu Fan honed in on a key point - the missing students had always disappeared after veering out of public view. This meant that even if you were in a crowded place, the moment you accidentally wandered into a secluded area, the other party found an opportunity.
The campus was still a reliably safe environment, but as night deepened and many students returned to their dorms, the sprawling campus would have roads and areas where few people ventured. As long as Lin Xi didn’t go to those places by herself, she’d be safe.
