After her rebirth, she became an unattainable woman.

Chapter 149 Unexpected Gain

"Besides Principal Wu, who else is in charge here?" one of the policemen asked.

The gatekeeper looked around and saw students working in the courtyard, accompanied by their teachers.

Students lowered their heads when they saw the police, while teachers acted as if it were none of their business.

“Besides Principal Wu, we also have Director Xiang here, but he has family matters to attend to and has been on leave for several days.”

Upon hearing this, Lu Mingxuan reminded the police: "He's lying. I think we should search each room and all the students, asking them one by one. I think someone should know where the article went."

The police officer turned to look at Lu Mingxuan: "Yesterday we questioned many students, and none of them knew whether the principal's surname was Wen or Wu. They only said that they knew their own teacher in charge."

When Lu Mingxuan heard the policeman say this, he said, "I saw Wen Zhang when I came here last time. If I see him again, I will recognize him at a glance."

The security guard, who had been following behind, quickly said upon hearing this, "Officer, we really don't have Principal Wen here. No matter how many times you come, it will be the same result. I think you should stop disturbing the children."

The two policemen looked around. In the courtyard, some students were having labor class, some were having physical education class, and some were reading in the classroom. The two policemen discussed it and said, "We did come yesterday, but we still want to take a look today."

Hearing that the police wanted to see it, the security guard quickly said, "If you want to see it, you can, I'll go with you."

Lu Mingxuan whispered to the police, "There's definitely something fishy going on here. Don't let him accompany you; I'll go with you."

Upon hearing Lu Mingxuan's words, the police officer glanced at the gatekeeper and said, "You can go ahead and do your work. We can take care of it ourselves."

Hearing this, the gatekeeper could only stand there and watch the three people walk into each room.

Upon arriving at the classroom and opening the door, Lu Mingxuan found a teacher giving a lesson. There were more than twenty students in the classroom, and they stopped immediately upon seeing the police.

"Officers, are you looking for someone?"

The teacher in this class was a woman, wearing glasses, and quite quiet.

The policeman looked at her and asked, "Have you seen the article?"

The teacher shook his head blankly, then turned to the students: "Class, is there anyone named Wenzhang?"

All the students shook their heads, and the police officer, after looking at them, had no choice but to back out.

Lu Mingxuan arrived at the playground with two more police officers. The teacher greeted them: "Officers, is there something you need?"

"We need to find Principal Wen!"

"We don't have a Principal Wen here. Don't believe me? Ask the students."

Before the police could speak, Lu Mingxuan shouted, "Students who lie are not good students! Has anyone seen Principal Wen? Tell the police officers!"

Everyone shook their heads in bewilderment.

The two policemen looked around and had no choice but to say to Lu Mingxuan, "Let's go. We've been here three times already and have basically checked everything. Nobody recognizes Wen Zhang."

Did the article simply vanish into thin air?

After Lu Mingxuan followed the police out of the correctional facility, he didn't want to leave like that. The school principal was Wen Zhang when he came here with Song Qiao last time.

"I advise you to cooperate. There are surveillance cameras in this yard."

Upon hearing the policeman's words, Lu Mingxuan recalled the time two weeks ago when he and Jiu Xun came here to see Jiang Xiaoran.

"Officer, since there is surveillance footage, why don't you check back to see what happened when Song Qiao and I came here two weeks ago?"

The police officer shook his head: "The surveillance footage from two weeks ago was broken; we've already checked it."

"Broken? What does that mean? It means it was deliberately broken. Why don't you check why the surveillance footage was broken, or who broke it? Just searching like this is useless!"

With Song Qiao still at the police station, Lu Mingxuan's patience was about to run out.

"Didn't you also go looking for it? There really wasn't any article here. Besides, the principal isn't here, so we can only wait for him to come back," the policeman explained, seeing Lu Mingxuan's tone.

After saying this, the two policemen got into their car and drove away.

As Lu Mingxuan watched the police car leave, he took out his phone to call his grandfather and ask for Zhang Yunqian's phone number when his phone rang.

Seeing that it was Lu Xinjun calling, he glanced at it and had no choice but to answer.

Where did you go?

Before Lu Mingxuan could answer, Lu Xinjun said angrily, "I'm giving you half an hour to be back, or else..."

Before Lu Xinjun could finish venting his anger, Lu Mingxuan said, "I can't go back. I have things to do outside."

"You little brat, you've got some nerve!"

"Think what you want, or you can remove me from my position as vice dean, and I'm quitting."

Lu Xinjun roared into the phone, "Are you trying to drive me crazy? I told you to stay away from that Song Qiao, but you wouldn't listen. She's in the police station now, which means she's no good."

Hearing Lu Xinjun's words, Lu Mingxuan remembered his grandfather's instructions and his tone softened: "Dad! I have already made my stance clear. I want to be with Song Qiao. She is a good girl. Take this matter for example, it was Jiang Ming who framed her."

“I don’t care whether it’s a false accusation or not, you can’t be with her. If you don’t come back, I will immediately announce your removal from the position of vice dean.”

This time, Lu Mingxuan wasn't angry. Instead, he calmly said, "You can leave now. I'm quitting."

Lu Xinjun sneered: "If I don't take you, where will you go? Let me tell you, as long as I don't want you, you won't be able to get into any hospital in the country."

"What, are you going to blacklist me from the entire industry? Don't threaten me with that, I'm not afraid!"

Lu Mingxuan stopped arguing with Lu Xinjun and turned off his phone.

Just as he was about to leave, the gatekeeper, who had changed his clothes, came out on his electric scooter.

Lu Mingxuan immediately unlocked his car and followed.

The gatekeeper rode his bicycle in front, with Lu Mingxuan following behind. After a while, they arrived at a small town. The gatekeeper stopped at a vegetable stall, bought some vegetables, and then continued riding his bicycle.

As Lu Mingxuan continued walking forward, he suddenly spotted a familiar figure holding a girl's hand as they turned into an alley.

"Nursery rhymes?"

Lu Mingxuan found a place to park the car and chased after them.

When I ran over, I found that the person was gone.

Lu Mingxuan looked up and saw that the path ahead was open, so he continued to chase after it, but he couldn't find Wang Cuihua and Tong Yao anywhere.

Could I have seen wrong? No! That figure is clearly Wang Cuihua, and that little girl is Tong Yao. They even wore the same clothes they did in the hospital.

Thinking of this, Lu Mingxuan decided to return to Jiangcheng first, and come back here after Song Qiao comes out of the police station tomorrow. As long as Tong Yao is found, Jiang Ming's abandonment will be established.

Back at the vegetable stall, Lu Mingxuan looked at the old man selling vegetables.

"Old man, I'd like to ask you about someone."

"Who is it? Tell me!"

Lu Mingxuan glanced at him and realized he was a vegetable vendor who often set up a stall here.

"Do you know where the guy who just rode his electric scooter to buy groceries lives?"

The old man thought for a moment and said, "You mean Liu Jiawang?"

"I don't know his name, I only know that he works as a gatekeeper at a school."

The old man selling vegetables sprayed water on the vegetables with a watering can and said, "His name is Liu Jiawang. I don't know where he lives, but he's probably nearby. He comes to my place every day to take vegetables home."

Hearing that he came to buy vegetables every day, Lu Mingxuan said goodbye to the old man selling vegetables and returned to his car.

Lu Mingxuan decided that he would come back to wait for Liu Jiawang at this time tomorrow. He believed that the truth about the article would definitely be found out.

Just then, Bai Liang called Lu Mingxuan.
