Chapter 45 - 45 Missing
45 Missing
Vivian wanted to call the police, but the disappearance had not been more than 24 hours, so the police would not accept it. She could only call Andy and ask him to bring a dozen of his brothers over to look around.
Andy could hear Vivian’s anxiety through the phone. They took two vans to speed all the way and met up with Vivian at the residential area entrance in less than 20 minutes.
Vivian had calmed down from her initial panic. She had wanted to call Jenny and Jeffrey but found that they didn’t have mobile phones, and she didn’t know the landline at home, so she planned to start from school.
The school gate was closed when the group of people rushed to the school.
The guard was so bored that he wanted to take a nap. Suddenly, he saw a beautiful young woman leading a group of burly men in front of him. Although shocked, he still gathered his courage and asked, “Are you the parents of the students?”
Vivian explained patiently.
“Mrs. Vivian! You’ve finally come!”
Vivian saw a figure running towards her from afar.
Vivian only saw the person clearly when she got closer. “Mr. Gary?”
Gary ran over and asked the guard to open the door.
Seeing the excitement on Gary’s face, Vivian felt a little dizzy, and her voice trembled. “Mr. Gary, is my son missing?”
Gary’s excited expression froze. “Mrs. Vivian, are you misunderstanding something? Leon is in school.”
Vivian heaved a heavy sigh of relief. “He’s not home at this time, which gave me a fright. So, why were you looking for me in such a hurry?”
When Gary heard this, he was stunned again. “Mrs. Vivian, you don’t know? Leon got into a fight!”
Then, Gary thought this was his chance to show off, so he immediately described it vividly. “You don’t know, but I rushed to the scene as soon as I found out about it, afraid that Leon would be wronged. The class teacher doesn’t have your number, so I just found Teacher Jenny and asked her to inform you. I came out to welcome you in case you don’t know where the office is.”
Vivian’s head began to spin again when she heard about the fight, and she hurriedly said, “Where’s Leon now?”
“Please follow me. I’ll take you to the office now.”
In the homeroom teacher’s office.
“What are you guys doing? No manner or discipline! Having a fight in public!”
There were two rows of students standing opposite each other in the office. One row had four students, and a few adults stood behind them. The other row only had three students.
Although Jeff had said ‘you guys’. However, he only looked at Leon, Frank, and Simon.
Frank was unconvinced and retorted on the spot, “They’re the ones looking for trouble! They’re bullying Simon!”
The four students didn’t need to say anything, and the parents behind them already started talking.
“Now, if you compare the wounds on your body, which one is more serious? Who’s bullying who?”
“That’s right, look at how you hit my son! I’m going to Sue you. You three little bastards. Just wait to go to jail!”
“My precious son, look at the bruises on his face. You bunch of uneducated brats, don’t even think about leaving without paying!”
The only person who didn’t speak was a man in a suit, but his face was also filled with anger that couldn’t be ignored.
Jeff peeked at the silent man, and hearing Frank’s rebuttal, he slammed the table in anger. “Did I allow you to speak?”
Jeff pointed at Frank. “I told you to call your parents. Look at you. Your parents aren’t at home.”
He then pointed at Leon. “Your Mother is not home either, right?”
“Simon, it’s not easy for your father to work in the mine alone to support you. Why are you wasting your time with these two uneducated people?” she pointed at the wet Simon.
Simon bit his lower lip and decided that he could no longer swallow his anger as he looked at the two students who had been implicated by him. He did not do it for himself, nor did he want to disappoint the students who had helped him.
“Teacher, the four of them often bullied me and asked me to help with my homework. I didn’t want to help them anymore, so I rejected them. They kept shooting me with the water pipe today. Leon and Frank were passing by and helped me out of kindness. They are the ones in the wrong!”
Simon pointed fiercely at the opposite side.
