A loud bang rang in everyone's ears!
The fat meatball, otherwise known as Little Fatty Cheng, was sent more than a meter away by Little Qingchen's kick!
Amazed by the strength of the kick, Baili Shangxie, who was watching from aside, briefly raised his eyebrows. In spite of that, he seemed indifferent as usual.
Every child around him was astonished.
"Qingchen, Qingchen, have you learned taekwondo before? That kick was neat!"
"Is this how you do it? Ha!"
"No, that wasn't how Qingchen did it!"
The first graders' classroom was bustling. All of them crowded around Qingchen and looked at him with gazes full of adoration. The scene was indescribable. It seemed as if they regarded Little Qingchen as an almighty animation character, like the Pleasant Goat and so forth.
Little Fatty Cheng, who was beaten until he slumped to the ground, was in severe pain. This time, he howled even more miserably.
After all, Little Fatty Cheng was a boy who cared about his image. It made more sense to say that he was beaten up by Baili Shangxie who came back from overseas.
However, he could not stand being defeated at the hands of the bumpkin.
If people were to find out about this, how could he continue to mingle with the people of the kindergarten?
The more his thoughts evolved, the louder he wailed. His cry could pretty much be heard by everyone in the corridor.
The class teacher was just clarifying the situation to Madam Cheng. However, as soon as they heard the noise from the classroom, they exchanged looks before they scuttled to the classroom.
Madam Cheng's face, that emanated a noble, elegant aura, immediately flushed green when she saw Little Fatty Cheng flat on the ground!
"Who exactly did this! Ah!" Her son had never suffered like this!
Rich Lady Cheng was perturbed and outraged. While patting Little Fatty Cheng's back, she said to the class teacher, "Teacher Zhang! You must provide me with an explanation! My son is here for classes! Not to get bullied! I have never expected you, a teacher with such low qualifications, to educate my child very well. I only want you to look after him properly. But look at his face now! If anything happens to him, you don't even dream about being a teacher anymore!"
The class teacher had not anticipated Little Fatty Cheng to get beaten up again right after she stepped out of the class.
In fact, she was having a headache too. It was only the first day of the school term but there were already two fights.
Judging by Little Fatty Cheng's body size, he ought not to fall with such ease. This is strange. Why is he always the one getting hurt?
Having just been heavily berated, Teacher Zhang did not seem pleased. She turned and questioned the first graders furiously, "Who did this?"
Thinking it must be no one other than Baili Shangxie, she was just about to lunge forward to grab him.
Unexpectedly, Little Qingchen, who was sitting by the small wooden table, stood up. He was still holding the chocolate cake in his hands. He stared at the class teacher with his large and round eyes. Wearing his little white shirt, his dorky cuteness radiated in endless waves. "Teacher, it was me."
Teacher Zhang stopped in her tracks. "You?"
"Yes." Little Qingcheng nodded.
Rich Lady Cheng, who was standing at the side, cried, "Teacher Zhang, since we have found the problematic student, I hope you can solve this issue as soon as possible!" She recognized Little Qingchen's face. He was Helian Wei Wei's son!
Teacher Zhang nodded her head stiffly, and said to the sophisticated, upper-class woman, "Madam Cheng, please calm down. I need to find out the reason behind their fight."
"Why else would poor kids pick fights? It has to be jealousy toward my son!" Rich Lady Cheng let out a cold snicker. "Beating up my son to a pulp. Your kindergarten really should not accept this kind of student!"
One too many indisputable scoldings from Rich Lady Cheng later, Teacher Zhang's attitude had also grown stricter. "Why did you fight?"
"It was an appropriate self-defense." Little Qingchen did not blink at all as he spoke. No matter how they looked at him, he appeared absolutely harmless with the chocolate cake lying in his small palms.
But… why is this self-defense again!!!
Teacher Zhang's mind could not catch up to the present. Kids nowadays know so much!
Perhaps, they were influenced by Baili Shangxie, who had just returned from another country!
As her train of thought halted here, Teacher Zhang unthinkingly tossed a side-eye at Baili Shangxie.
Every time he heard the phrase "self-defense", Little Fatty Cheng could feel an incoming toothache!
"Mom, what is self-defense? I don't care! It's this bumpkin's fault for hitting me! You have to punish him for me! Let the school expel him!" Little Fatty Cheng produced a tremendous amount of snot and tears as his cheeks trembled from his violent motions.
Distressed, Rich Lady Cheng's heart ached with pity for her son. She promptly responded, "Yes, yes, yes. Let's go to the headmaster's office now."
The mention of a meeting with the headmaster alarmed Teacher Zhang. She quickly advised, "Madam Cheng, the kids are still young. It is inevitable to have some injuries or bruises from time to time. We don't have to make such a huge fuss, right?"
"What do you mean by making a fuss? Am I making a fuss?" Rich Lady Cheng rebutted while trying to keep herself calm. "Teacher Zhang, I've always known my kid's issues. He may look unreasonable, but our family has our own way of educating our child. It is not his nature to stir up problems, and he could even be a kind child. However, this cannot become the reason for the bullies to target him!"
Teacher Zhang was hurled into a moment of embarrassment as her words hit her. She was at a total loss for words.
Right at this moment, Little Qingchen began, "Madam, have you taught your child to snatch others' cake? Like I've said earlier, I was merely defending myself. I would not have kicked him if he didn't attempt to snatch my beloved chocolate."
Chapter 889 - Wei Wei
Baili Shangxie continued to nod as he listened to the conversation.
That's right. It all happened because her son wanted to snatch the chocolate cake.
Otherwise, the cake would have already been mine!
Undoubtedly, the elder one was also coveting the chocolate cake!
Helian Qingchen was puzzled, not knowing why the non-human was constantly nodding as he spoke. Then, he glanced at Baili Shangxie in confusion.
The air of the classroom experienced a significant change after Helian Qingchen made the remark.
The harsh statement seemed to have landed a violent punch on Madam Cheng's delicate face. She had never expected her son to be beaten up for this reason.
Madam Cheng certainly understood her son's temperament. He often laid his hands on stuff that did not belong to him. However, Madam Cheng had never taken the matter seriously.
She reckoned that it was normal for kids to fight over toys and food.
After all, they were wealthy. They could easily compensate the victims with anything.
Madam Cheng had never lost a verbal fight before. Now that she was condemned by an innocent kid, her face immediately flushed red.
She was extremely embarrassed when the boy asked, "Madam, have you taught your child to snatch others' cake?"
Noticing the gazes of the kids that were fixed on her, Madam Cheng put on an awkward smile before she said to the class teacher, "Look at this eloquent boy. He doesn't look like a three-year-old at all. It's my son's fault to be such a gourmand. He always thinks that others' foods are tastier, when in fact he has tried all kinds of cakes. He merely wants to get closer to his classmates, but he doesn't know how to convey his feelings. Since it is a misunderstanding, I will not press on this matter anymore. I will have to apply some ointment on my son's face when we get home."
Aware of Madam Cheng's status, the class teacher did not want to make a huge fuss. Therefore, she
replied with a smile.
However, Little Fatty Cheng was unsatisfied and refused to let the matter go. "Mom, why are we not doing anything? I'm badly bruised! On top of that, Baili Shangxie attacked me too! I did not touch any of his things. My teeth are still aching after receiving his blow!"
Madam Cheng was enraged upon hearing this. Apparently, more than one person had bullied her son.
"Teacher Zhang, how are you going to explain this?"
The class teacher knew that she was not capable of answering this. Therefore, she passed the question to Baili Shangxie. "Shangxie, please explain yourself."
Teacher Zhang expected the kid to come up with a good reason like Helian Qingchen to dismiss Madam Cheng as soon as possible.
Wearing his small leather jacket, he let out an indifferent laugh before he made a straightforward statement with an unvarying yet charismatic tone. "I beat him up because I'm irritated by his presence."
Teacher Zhang was fl.u.s.tered. D*mn! Why didn't you call this a self-defence?
"You… you!" Madam Cheng had never seen such an arrogant and fearless kid, causing her hands to tremble out of rage. She began to shriek, "You just wait! Come on, son! Let's go to the headmaster's office now!"
Baili Shangxie was not affected at all. He did not even bother to spare Madam Cheng a glance and his eyes were locked on the chocolate cake in Helian Qingchen's hands. That cake was his true target!
Little Qingchen remained quiet throughout the whole incident. He was planning to tell Pretty Wei Wei about what happened today after he returned home.
Her chocolate cake smelled too nice and he was stalked the whole time...
"Achoo!" Helian Wei Wei let out a sneeze as she was leaning on her BMW Tomahawk and sunbathing. She briefly raised her brows. Who is thinking about me again?
Under the bright sun, beside her, the suited man was speaking to an American who was wearing a pair of shades. They wore a sombre expression on their faces throughout the entire conversation.
Meanwhile, the remaining chavs repeatedly tried on different outfits. "No, this makes me look like a gangster. Kids at school will tease Little Boss."
"L, you cannot bring a gun there! That's a restricted item! We'll have to settle this via our connections if we ever get caught! You can keep the gun as your own toy, but don't be a bad influence to Little Boss!"
"Also, which car are we using? Boss always takes the BMW Tomahawk when she sends Little Boss to school. We must take a better vehicle. We must not lose to our boss!"
"The vehicle we take is not important. Look at me. Do I look amiable? It's more important to appear friendly!"
He had to dress up if he were to visit the kindergarten. Otherwise, his appearance would either frighten the kids or be mistaken as a bear.
Either one was enough to embarrass their Little Boss.
Hence, they had to showcase their charisma and make Little Boss proud!
Helian Wei Wei was planning to sleep as she had been working at night. She was too lazy to move about during the day. However, she was intrigued by her brothers relentless discussion.
The suited man finally finished his negotiation. He finished his coffee before he gently pushed a small leather briefcase over to the American. There were stacks of United States dollars in the briefcase.
The American took the briefcase, wished for a successful cooperation before he left the workshop.
The suited man turned and said to Helian Wei Wei, "Boss, we have gotten some news. A powerful force is looking for us. They have probably arrived in Beijing by now. However, we have also built rapports with many people. They will have to take some time before they are able to locate us."
"S, my ears are functioning. I heard your conversation." Helian Wei Wei tossed the helmet in her left hand away before she put on a wicked smirk. "Tell Tang Sect to investigate their background."
The suited man shared a similar opinion. There was nothing that the Tang Sect could not find out, as they had the best hacker in the world, Young Master Tang.
"By the way, according to Little Qingchen, as today is his first day at school, he wants to learn to be independent. He will come home on his own after school and has told us to not pick him up." Helian Wei Wei said as she let out a lazy yawn.
The chavs who were initially grooming themselves stopped in their tracks. They turned around in synchrony, looking rather upset!
Their dream to pick up Little Boss after class had been shattered. No! This is the most cruel punishment ever!
"All my effort has all gone in vain."
"Why did I waste my entire morning to groom myself?"
"Kim, you are not the poorest. Old A, the bear, is the most pitiful one. He has been practicing his smile in front of the mirror, hoping that he will not appear like a gangster. It was tough for him too."
Old A, the 1.98-meter-tall chav, was rendered speechless.
All of a sudden, a soft voice resonated across the bustling place. "Excuse me. May I know if there is any exorcist here?"
Chapter 890 - Something Happened At The Kindergarten
Stunned, the chavs whipped around, their eyes full of vigilance.
However, Helian Wei Wei smiled and replied in a straightforward manner, "Miss, this a workshop and we're not exorcists. Are you at the wrong address? However, there is an exorcist on the next street." According to the rules, she would only accept tasks after sunset, and no one would approach her during the day.
"Someone told me that there's an exorcist here." The lady wore a long grey robe that was stained with oil. She eyed Helian Wei Wei warily. "That person's surname is Tang. He told me that someone will help me if I come here."
Young Master Tang? Helian Wei Wei's expression underwent a subtle change as she stared at the woman. "Did he pass you anything?"
"Huh? Did he pass me anything?" All of a sudden, the woman seemed to have recalled something. "He told me to show you my mobile phone when I'm here." The woman whipped out a cheap mobile phone from her pocket.
Helian Wei Wei received the cellphone from the woman. The screen, which was initially flickering, instantly lit up. A silvery fox appeared on the screen. It pounced forward as though it was going to jump out of the screen, but the fox eventually dissolved into a few words. The line said, "I am referring this case to you."
The chavs were not surprised by Young Master Tang's computer hacking skills that could penetrate any digital system.
However, the woman, who came for Helian Wei Wei, had never seen such a feature on her mobile phone. Eyes widened and mouth agape, she exclaimed, "What! What is that?"
"It's a mission card." Helian Wei Wei put on a faint grin as she returned the phone to its owner.
The woman received the phone and began to study her phone. Yet, the animation was nowhere to be seen. "Huh, where did it go?"
Helian Wei Wei did not answer her. The Tang Sect's secret orders were rarely assigned directly by Young Master Tang. If so, the orders would appear in very creative ways every time and caught everyone off guard. This was the sect's way of protecting themselves.
"Tell me. What's troubling you?" Helian Wei Wei crossed her legs casually. The gentle smile on her face could easily bring people's guard down.
Immediately, tears escaped her eyes as she wailed in despair. "My son has gone missing! I can't find him anywhere."
"Have you made a police report?" Helian Wei Wei asked in a muffled tone.
The woman clenched her fist. "The police rejected my report because it hasn't been 24 hours yet."
"Indeed." This was also one of the reasons behind the increasing number of missing children over the years. To be honest, it would already be too late for the investigation to start one day later.
But…
"How do you know that your son's disappearance is linked to the ghosts?" This was Helian Wei Wei's first question.
The woman scanned her surroundings before she replied, "My son is not the only one who went missing. Ever since the start of term, the children in
the senior kindergarten class have been disappearing one after another and it happens once every two days. Most of them would go missing in the evening after school ends. However, it hasn't been long since the children were lost and the school insisted that the kids were picked up by their relatives. Notwithstanding that, I know my son very well. He would never follow a stranger."
"The senior kindergarten class?' Helian Wei Wei lifted her gaze. "Is it the kindergarten in our area?"
The woman replied with a firm nod. "I've told others that the kindergarten seems rather odd, but no one believes me. However, the kindergarten is really dodgy."
"There is nothing wrong with the kindergarten," Helian Wei Wei interrupted with an indifferent tone. Meanwhile, she furrowed her brows as though she was engrossed in her train of thought.
The woman gently bit her thin lips. "You don't believe me too?"
"It's not that I don't believe you. I've been to that kindergarten too." Helian Wei Wei paused before she added, "My son goes to the same kindergarten and he only reported himself to the class today. The kindergarten itself has no problem. The most important question is who abducted your son. Unfortunately, I cannot be certain that spirits or ghosts are behind the abduction when the evidence is limited."
Upon hearing Helian Wei Wei's words, the woman seemed rather hesitant to continue the discussion.
Helian Wei Wei smiled before she continued, "If you don't tell me the entire truth, the chances of rescuing your son will grow slimmer as time passes."
"To be honest…" Tears raced down her cheeks as the woman spoke, "Since a month ago, my son has been acting strange. As you can see, our family isn't well off. His father is merely an ordinary construction worker, while I own a noodle stall. Many customers come for noodles in the afternoon. So, I usually pick up my son late. Once, he told me that he suspected someone was trailing him. Initially, I thought he was imagining things and he didn't repeat it again. Therefore, I didn't take it seriously. A few days before he went missing, he was alone in his room, but was talking to someone. When I asked him whom he was talking to, he said he was playing with a little boy. But, there was no one else in the room. I was terrified and went to the temple to get a talisman for him. Then, everything went back to normal. But now, he's gone."
