Chapter 2207 - 2167: If Something Happens, I’ll Take Responsibility

After they finished washing up and dressing, they got into Ye Qiu’s car, and he drove to a nearby teahouse.

At this time, there were still many people drinking tea.

They went inside the teahouse and got a private room.

After ordering, Liu Lingxiu asked, "Ye Qiu, what happened last night?"

They were still puzzled about what went wrong there last night.

"Those two boys in my class were enthralled by something and suddenly jumped into the lake to commit suicide."

Enthralled by something?

And jumped into the lake to commit suicide?

That’s really terrifying!

Of course, Liu Lingxiu and the others could see that Ye Qiu wasn’t joking.

"Just before I came back, I had people dredging there, and there are many skeletal remains at the bottom of the lake."

This made Liu Lingxiu and the others feel even more horrified.

When the female waitress delivered the tea and snacks they ordered, Ye Qiu invited them to start eating.

After finishing the snacks, Ye Qiu prepared to drive them back.

He drove towards Jin University Campus, where Song Ying, Ling Fei, and Chen Meng got off first, and then Ye Qiu took Xia Tiantian home.

Back at Xia Tiantian’s neighborhood, Ye Qiu said, "Tiantian, you should head back."

Seeing Xia Tiantian return home, Ye Qiu drove back to Peach Blossom Spring Villa.

Now it was just Lin Xiang and Liu Lingxiu.

Ye Qiu went upstairs to take a nap.

Although he wasn’t like those socialites, he didn’t need to sleep for that long.

When Ye Qiu woke up, it was already past two in the afternoon.

The two women were also resting in their rooms.

This was long past lunchtime.

After waking the two women, Ye Qiu said, "Let’s go out to eat."

With Xiaomai not at home, although these two women could cook, they didn’t want to bother with it.

He drove to a nearby upscale restaurant, and the three of them went inside and sat down. Just then, Zhao Ruxue called and said, "Ye Qiu, the City Police Bureau has started investigating the area along with other departments, and the vicinity has been cordoned off. Also, the water will be drained this afternoon, so perhaps Mountain Lake will be emptied by tomorrow."

"I’ll take a look at it then."

After hanging up the phone.

The two women had already ordered the dishes.

"Ye Qiu, do you want anything else?" Liu Lingxiu asked.

"Let’s stick with what’s ordered."

After the waitress left, less than ten minutes later, the dishes were quickly served.

Clearly, some dishes were prepared ahead of time and just needed warming up before being served.

After finishing the meal.

They left and returned to Peach Blossom Source Villa Community.

By the time it was past five in the afternoon, Ye Qiu drove Liu Lingxiu back to campus.

Of course, now rumors were spreading at Jin University about the terrifying incidents that Ye Qiu’s class encountered during the autumn outing.

This time, the class teacher and advisor did not participate, so they didn’t know what’s happening and only heard from the returning students that something almost happened.

If something did happen, it would surely fall on the leader to take responsibility because it could involve the university.

Just as Ye Qiu dropped Liu Lingxiu off outside the boys’ dormitory building, his car was stopped because the class teacher called him.

This new class teacher and advisor rarely contacted Ye Qiu.

When he arrived, the teacher’s expression was clearly upset.

Usually, an autumn outing is a collective class activity that the teacher should support and encourage, but supporting it nearly resulted in the drowning of two students.

"Ye Qiu, the situation at the autumn outing nearly went wrong. Do you have anything to say?" the teacher asked Ye Qiu.

"Say what?" Ye Qiu asked.

"What if something actually happened, what then?" The teacher seriously looked at Ye Qiu.

"If anything happens, I’ll be responsible."

"You."

The teacher knew Ye Qiu was no ordinary person.

Of course, this wasn’t just about money, but the safety of the students, which was far more important than money.

The teacher heard Ye Qiu’s words and didn’t know what to say for a while.

As the class teacher and advisor left, the other class leaders didn’t expect this outcome.

"Class president, should we continue organizing autumn outings?"

This matter was known by the class and surely spread outside.

"For now, let’s not. This time, it really almost became a disaster."

Ye Qiu said.

He wasn’t short on money, but his concern was if something really happened to the class.

Of course, even if something did happen, as long as there was a breath of life, he could bring them back.

The problem is that if they go out and there’s an accident, bad luck can really lead to death, and Ye Qiu felt sorry for the students and their parents.

When parents come to the school raising the issue, they’d definitely involve Ye Qiu.

"This autumn outing wasn’t enjoyable. I don’t know the situation over there. The class leaders should invite everyone out for a buffet meal; I’ll cover the cost."

"Class president, that’s great." said a class leader.

"A buffet around two hundred per person will do."

A two hundred per person buffet in Jinling is considered mid to high end, offering a wide variety.

Ye Qiu felt there was nothing else to do, so he planned to leave.

Ye Qiu left the classroom, intending to return to Peach Blossom Source Villa Community.

Just as he was heading towards the boys’ dormitory, he saw Li Qianqian.

Li Qianqian knew Ye Qiu had gone to America and had been back for several days, but Ye Qiu didn’t tell her when he went on the autumn outing with the class over the weekend, which made her unhappy.

"Ye Qiu, why didn’t you tell me you were back?"

Li Qianqian asked unhappily.

"I was so busy, wasn’t I?"

Actually, the whole campus already knew.

As Ye Qiu was about to get in his car to leave, Li Qianqian wanted to go back with him.

Ye Qiu drove to Peach Blossom Spring Villa, parked at the entrance, and Li Qianqian followed in her Beetle.

"What happened with your class’s autumn outing?"

"Watch the news; it’ll be there soon."

Given so many skeletal remains at Mountain Lake, it couldn’t be hidden, and it would surely make the news. Moreover, Li Zhiguo, as the mayor, would certainly be involved.

"My fainting episode was somewhat related to such things."

Li Qianqian had been unconscious for a long time and nearly died, but Ye Qiu saved her.

Nevertheless, Li Qianqian’s incident wasn’t in Jinling but happened during an outside adventure with friends, resulting in them encountering something unclean.

Hearing Li Qianqian’s words, Ye Qiu found it quite similar indeed.

"Last night, the two students in my class nearly drowned in the afternoon. In the evening, they were enchanted and almost jumped into the lake, but fortunately, I pulled them back."

"So terrifying?"

Ye Qiu and Li Qianqian walked into the villa lounge, where Lin Xiang was already watching TV.

Li Qianqian had thought it was Xiaomai at home, and didn’t expect it to be only Lin Xiang.

"Where did Xiaomai go?"

"You guys chat; I’m heading upstairs." Ye Qiu went upstairs.
