Chapter 16 Jiang Yu

Su Ming was also quite surprised; in his memory, Tang Yan had never been late. He would always appear in the classroom before the class bell rang.

“Quiet down, everyone, don’t talk. Please wait patiently.”

Mink stood up and said to everyone.

The noisy classroom immediately quieted down, and everyone waited patiently.

Soon, ten minutes passed, and Tang Yan still hadn’t appeared. Mink also started to get restless, so he stood up, took out his phone, and walked out of the classroom.

When everyone saw Mink go out to make a call, they couldn’t help but whisper among themselves.

Su Ming, with one hand propping his chin, lightly tapped the table with his fingers, deep in thought. A bad premonition suddenly arose in his mind.

About a few minutes later, Mink walked in and said to everyone.

“I called Teacher Tang. He’s not feeling well and has taken the day off. Everyone, self-study!”

These words were like a stone thrown into a pond, creating ripples. Everyone exclaimed in surprise.

“No way, he’s actually letting us self-study?”

“What’s wrong with Teacher Tang? Is he not caring about us anymore?”

“Could it be that the teacher was stimulated yesterday and had a breakdown?”

Su Ming also felt helpless. It was truly a case of ‘what you fear most comes true.’ With only a few days left until the City Exam, Teacher Tang actually told them to self-study. It really was one misfortune after another!

“Everyone, quiet down, no more talking. Study well.”

Mink, somewhat annoyed, shouted again.

The class quieted down once more. Everyone sighed and lowered their heads, beginning to self-study.

——

Inside the reception room of Villa No. 17, Tianlan, Upper City.

Su Yuan awkwardly greeted an elderly man with white hair, wrinkled skin covered in black spots, a serious expression, and dressed in a black suit.

“Mr. Jiang Yu, please have a seat. I’ll pour you some water. I didn’t expect it would be you coming this time.”

“Mm.”

Jiang Yu calmly sat on the comfortable sofa.

“Um, may I ask you, what does my father think about this matter?”

Su Yuan’s hand trembled slightly as he handed the cup filled with warm water to Jiang Yu. His heart was in his throat at this moment.

This Mr. Jiang Yu was a very important figure in their family, not only a top information expert but also his former teacher.

However, it was a pity that Su Yuan not only didn’t learn well but had now forgotten everything.

But none of that was the main point. The main point was that the family sending him here showed that the old man took this matter very seriously. He was now extremely worried about the old man’s attitude.

From this point, one could see how much Su Yuan feared his own father.

At this moment, Zhao Ning, standing beside Su Yuan, lightly stepped on Su Yuan’s foot and gave him an annoyed glare, telling him not to be so cowardly.

Unfortunately, Su Yuan was like a startled deer at this moment, completely out of control, looking eagerly at Jiang Yu.

“Thank you. Regarding Young Master Su Ming being humiliated and attempting to hang himself, the old man already knows everything. He is extremely furious! No matter what, Su Ming is his grandson, and no one is allowed to bully him like this. Therefore, he specifically dispatched me to investigate this matter. Once it’s clear, he will intervene from above.”

Jiang Yu took the water cup and replied calmly.

“Then, did he say anything about me?”

Su Yuan asked somewhat uneasily.

“No.”

Jiang Yu replied with a smile.

“That’s great.”

Su Yuan let out a slight sigh of relief, speaking happily.

Zhao Ning, watching Su Yuan’s demeanor, also felt utterly helpless. They had been out of the family for so long, yet he still feared the old man so much.

In fact, Zhao Ning also felt a bit of disappointment towards Su Yuan.

When she first married into the Su Family, everyone in her family thought they could climb the social ladder and gain favor with the Su Family. However, what her maiden family didn’t expect was that Su Yuan was not only incompetent but also extremely timid, super afraid of the old man, and eventually, he was even kicked out.

He couldn’t provide any connections or help to her maiden family, and because of this, her maiden family didn’t think highly of Zhao Ning, always giving her various sarcastic remarks whenever she went back.

However, Zhao Ning was quite open-minded. After all, although Su Yuan was a bit foolish, he was very good to her and their son.

Just then, Chen Hui led in a middle-aged man wearing a gray work uniform, a safety helmet, and with somewhat disheveled hair.

“Boss, something happened at the garbage dump.”

The middle-aged man saw Su Yuan and reported in a hurry.

Su Yuan turned his head to look at the man who had entered and asked somewhat impatiently.

“Hu Jia, what happened that you had to come now? Can’t you see I’m entertaining an important guest?”

“Two people went missing at the garbage dump and can’t be found.”

Hu Jia quickly reported.

“If they’re missing, can’t you go look for them? What’s the use of telling me? Am I supposed to help you find them? Don’t bother me, I have important matters here.”

Su Yuan impatiently dismissed Hu Jia. His most important task today was to discuss with Jiang Yu how to avenge his son; everything else could wait.

“Yes, yes, yes.”

Seeing Su Yuan get angry, Hu Jia immediately left in a panic.

Once Hu Jia left, Su Yuan said to Jiang Yu.

“Mr. Jiang Yu, when do you plan to start the investigation? I’ll take you to the school.”

“No need, I will investigate this matter myself.”

Jiang Yu replied with a slight smile.

“Ah? If you don’t go to the school, how will you access the school’s internal local area network to investigate?”

Su Yuan asked, looking puzzled.

“Young Master Su Yuan, actually, if the school truly wanted to find the perpetrator, it wouldn’t be very difficult. But the fact that there’s been no result means everything. If we investigate openly, it will definitely trigger a backlash from local forces, thus alerting the enemy. So, I will secretly infiltrate the academy’s local area network and investigate covertly. You can rest assured and leave it to me.”

Jiang Yu sighed inwardly. So many years had passed, and his student’s mind was still as slow as ever.

“Thank you, then I’ll leave it to you.”

Zhao Ning quickly thanked him.

“It’s nothing, it’s what I should do.”

Jiang Yu replied with a calm expression.

——

In the evening, the ringing sound echoed through the Mient campus.

Inside the classroom, Mink stood up and said to the many students.

“Self-study is over, everyone can go home. Also, I plan to visit Teacher Tang’s home. Is anyone coming with me?”

“I’ve been self-studying all day, I’m almost dead tired, so I won’t go.”

“I have plans tonight, so I can’t go.”

One by one, students said with difficulty.

“Class monitor, I’ll go with you.”

Su Ming stood up and said to Mink. Although he felt visiting was quite troublesome, no matter what, Tang Yan had been very good to him.

By both reason and sentiment, he had to go. More importantly, he needed to get Teacher Tang to cheer up quickly, otherwise, what would they do about the upcoming City Exam?

When Mink saw Su Ming was willing to go with him, he was about to tell him to come along when a very harsh, mocking voice suddenly rang out.

“If you go to comfort the teacher, nothing will turn into something. Last night, you ‘comforted’ Teacher Tang so much that he had a breakdown.”
