Jiang Wenyu watched the playful banter between the two and couldn't help but smile. She took a handkerchief from her pocket, elegantly covering her mouth with it, turning her head slightly as she let out a soft laugh.
Her smile was like a gentle spring breeze sweeping across a lake, creating ripples that were both delicate and beautiful, her eyes sparkling with joy.
After a moment, Yan Qing cleared his throat and spoke up, "Alright, everyone stop laughing."
Yan Qing turned to Jiang Ming, his expression growing serious. "Jiang Ming, you can continue. Since you claim not to know them, why are they using your name to cause trouble? This must be related to you in some way. Think carefully."
Listening to Yan Qing, Jiang Ming rested one hand on his elbow and began to stroke his chin thoughtfully.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up and a self-satisfied grin appeared on his face. "Maybe it's because I'm just too handsome, and they've developed a grudge against me."
As soon as he said this, the other three exchanged exasperated glances, thinking simultaneously: This guy really thinks too highly of himself.
Drui Feng rolled his eyes dramatically, his expression clearly saying, "Give me a break."
Frowning slightly, Jiang Ming coughed twice and cleared his throat before speaking slowly. "As for Lu Mingyu, his birthplace is within the jurisdiction of Liu Ming City, which is easy enough to verify. But Zhou Xingshu is much trickier. I've searched everywhere I could think of but still haven't found any information about where he was born or anyone he might have interacted with before. Moreover, the reason for his transfer to School 13 is shrouded in mystery; officially, it’s stated that he moved here due to his parents' job changes. However, when I investigated the parental information he filled out at school, I found it was all fake."
Drui Feng looked puzzled, his brows furrowing tightly as he exclaimed, "Fake? How did the school not notice? That seems really strange."
Yan Qing raised his right hand and gently tapped his forehead with his index finger. His eyes glinted with insight as he spoke calmly. "Generally speaking, schools only conduct basic statistics and surveys regarding students' family situations; it's rare for teachers to make home visits. Therefore, it's difficult for schools to uncover issues with students' family information. As for parent-teacher meetings, he likely hired someone to pose as temporary parents."
Jiang Wenyu frowned slightly, her slender brows arching gently as she pondered aloud. "So you're saying that if we investigate these two students now, we might find clues? They seem incredibly suspicious; it feels like there's a big secret hidden behind this."
Yan Qing crossed his arms and slowly turned to stand up. He walked over to the window and gazed quietly at the scenery outside in the courtyard.
At this moment in the north, deep autumn had already set in, and the courtyard was eerily quiet. The leaves on the trees seemed drained of life, fluttering down like whispers to cover the ground in a layer of withered yellow. The autumn wind blew coldly, bringing with it a sense of desolation, as if the entire world had been painted with a hue of loneliness.
Yan Qing fell silent for a moment before turning around, his expression serious as he said, “Here’s the plan: Jiang Ming and I will investigate Zhou Xingshu, Drui Feng, and Jiang Wenyu. You two will look into Lu Mingyu. Since those two live together, they must be connected; they might even be part of a larger scheme.”
Jiang Ming immediately stood up and moved to Yan Qing's side, his face filled with urgency. “Shouldn’t we arrest them first? After all, they are both Ability Users, and there have already been two explosions at Z City’s No. 13 Middle School. We can’t afford to be careless! We need to detain them; if another Explosion Incident occurs, it could pose a serious threat to the public.”
Drui Feng chimed in from the side, “Exactly, Brother Yan. This case is pretty clear-cut; those two are the most suspicious ones at No. 13 Middle School. We should apprehend them first. What if they carry out another terrorist attack? How will we explain that to our superiors?”
Yan Qing shook his head gently, his gaze resolute as he replied sternly, “No, we can’t rush this. Although they are Ability Users, we cannot arrest them without solid evidence proving they are the culprits. Ability Users are still human; they have equal rights just like us. We cannot discriminate against them; we must treat everyone equally.” With that, Yan Qing turned to look at the other three present.
Among the four people there, aside from Yan Qing, the other three were all Ability Users. Hearing Yan Qing’s words filled them with warmth.
In this world, few humans could regard Ability Users as normal individuals like Yan Qing did. After all, to most people, the emergence of Ability Users felt like something out of a mystical realm—full of mystery and danger—and very few could face them without prejudice.
The three exchanged determined glances and nodded solemnly in agreement. “Alright then, let’s set off now.”
With that, the four of them sprang into action, their figures quickly disappearing from the room, leaving behind only the desolate autumn scenery outside.
“Hey, aren’t you going to go greet Zhou Xingshu?”
Zhang Yuqing nudged Lu Xiaonuan with her elbow while keeping her eyes fixed on Zhou Xingshu on the basketball court several dozen meters away.
“I saw you two chatting quite animatedly the other day; that atmosphere—tch tch tch—if someone didn’t know better, they might think you had some little secret,” Zhang Yuqing teased with a raised eyebrow and a smirk playing at her lips.
Lu Xiaonuan and Zhang Yuqing leaned over the railing, the morning sunlight casting a golden halo around them.
Downstairs on the basketball court, Zhou Xingshu was running, the basketball in his hands seeming to come alive as he skillfully maneuvered through the game. Every movement of his radiated youthful energy; sweat dripped from his forehead, dampening his tousled hair and adding to his charm.
Surrounding Zhou Xingshu was a group of adoring fans, as if enchanted, tightly clustered around him. Their cheers and shouts rose and fell like waves, the noise almost reaching the heavens.
At this moment, it was break time—15 minutes of respite that felt like a brief carnival for high school students. They passionately expressed their love for sports, and the entire playground was filled with an exhilarating atmosphere.
Lu Xiaonuan shot an annoyed glance at Zhang Yuqing, resting her chin on the cold railing with a weary sigh. “What are you so excited about? Don’t get carried away. Right now, Zhou Xingshu and Lu Mingyu are both mysterious figures—like two puzzles waiting to be solved. Have you forgotten what the police specifically told us? We have a serious mission to monitor them and find clues from their daily lives. Approaching them now would only complicate things; it’s better not to stir up trouble.”
A hint of worry flickered in Lu Xiaonuan's eyes as her brows furrowed slightly.
Beside her, Zhang Yuqing supported her head with one hand while resting the other on the railing, her eyes filled with helplessness as she kept her gaze fixed on Zhou Xingshu in the distance.
“Yeah, what are we supposed to do? We want to get closer but don’t dare; just watching from afar doesn’t help us figure anything out. Can we really assist the police?”
Both Lu Xiaonuan and Zhang Yuqing sighed softly, a gentle breeze brushing past them, causing a few strands of hair to dance against their cheeks.
“Right, I don’t think we have what it takes. How about we just pretend we never went there? That place didn’t even look like a police station; it felt off. What if we act like nothing happened? Sound good?”
Suddenly, Lu Xiaonuan’s eyes lit up as she sprang to her feet, a clever smile spreading across her face as she turned to Zhang Yuqing. With a mischievous grin, she seemed to have found a way out of their predicament.
