Chapter 23. Rescue the Hostages
【I can’t, I’m going to die from laughing. You top students ah! How did you develop into a group of clown? 】
【Are you trying to play eagle catching the chicks?】
【God Ye is so miserable that the NPCs can’t bear to throw at him. 】
Although Ye Yuanyu looked cold, it was fortunate that he fulfilled their wish in the end. He stood in front of them and led them quickly past three classrooms.
Standing in a safe area between Class 4 and Class 3 of Year 3, Jian Cang laughed loudly, "I didn't expect the bitter meat strategy to work quite well."
Ye Yuanyu looked at him expressionlessly, "I am the one who got the bitterness."
Shu Hua hurriedly complimented, "What bitter meat strategy! Can you speak? It's obviously a beauty trick."
"So handsome that they're too shy to throw."
Jian Cang held his stomach and almost stopped breathing from laughing, "Yes, yes, yes, Shu Hua is right. The beauty trick made them stunned."
Qin Shiyu, who had already passed the obstacle, leaned against the wall and smiled, "Then will you continue to use the beauty trick?"
Only then did a few people look to the front. There were classrooms from Year 3 Class 4 to Year 3 Class 1. The curtains were drawn, but the obvious movement indicated that there were people behind. Something was clearly coming.
Everyone turned to look at Ye Yuanyu in unison.
Shu Hua said cautiously, "One matter shouldn’t bother two people?"
Ye Yuanyu suddenly stretched out his hand, dragging Jian Cang with one hand and Xiang Chen with the other as he ran forward with a sneer, "I prefer to endure misfortune together."
"Ah!" Startled, Jian Cang screamed, "Elder Brother Ye! Wa, Elder Brother Ye has turned to the dark side!"
The moment they started to move, a spooky sound effect instantly appeared. Countless water guns peeked out from behind the curtains and started spraying water at them. Xiang Chen couldn't help but scream.
Shu Hua blankly stared. Jiang Yu immediately grabbed her wrist and followed behind, "Hurry up!"
Then she stealthily hid behind the three of them and moved.
【...I finally discovered the most sneaky person here is Jiang Yu. Hahaha. 】
【Indeed. Just now, it was Shu Hua who first used Ye Yuanyu as a shield, she quietly hid behind others. Afterward, Jian Cang and Xiang Chen imitated her. 】
【This girl looks well-behaved and clever, but she always does big things secretly. 】
Xiang Chen suddenly remembered that there were two girls who needed to be taken care of. He turned around and saw Qin Shiyu swiftly running toward them.
"Where are Jiang Yu and Shu Hua?" He was surprised.
Qin Shiyu’s gaze looked forward.
The three of them turned around in unison and saw Jiang Yu and Shu Hua behind them. Ye Yuanyu and Xiang Chen were all very tall. Jian Cang was the shortest at 1.79 meters. This combination firmly blocked the two of them. No water got on them. Better off than the previous obstacle.
Shu Hua chuckled. Jiang Yu still looked ever so obedient and shy. She said gratefully, "Thank you for your hard work."
The three’s anger immediately dissipated. Jian Cang said, "Alright, I'll cover you!"
Qin Shiyu slid behind them.
The three:...
【Hahahaha, God Yu has learned to be bad. Jiang Yu is simply too poisonous. 】
The group of people rushed forward. When they were about to rush to a safe zone, Jiang Yu suddenly let go of Shu Hua's hand. As soon as she stepped out of the NPC's water range, she made an emergency stop. Qin Shiyu, who was following closely behind her, almost bumped into her and could only make a sudden stop and lean back hard. In the end, he was hit by a water gun. He held on to the nearby wall before he could stand firm.
Qin Shiyu:......
He looked at Jiang Yu.
However, Jiang Yu didn't even look back. It was as if she didn't know what happened.
【Ala, God Yu didn’t stand firm? 】
【Jiang Yu stopped too hastily in front and didn't notice him. 】
【Haha, it’s rare to see God Yu in such a mess. 】
【What mess? Our God Yu is handsome even if he holds the wall, okay? 】
【Why do I feel that Jiang Yu did it on purpose? Could it be that she wanted to create an opportunity for close contact with God Yu? 】
【Then she made the wrong calculation. Our God Yu won’t have physical contact with others unless it is absolutely necessary. Back then, when taking Jiang Mingquan through the obstacle, she had to be tied up with a rope and be dragged over by God Yu. 】
【Jiang Mingquan: This is not something to be proud of. Don’t cue]
【Stop conspiracy theories. How can it be intentional? If she did it on purpose, how can she not have any reaction? 】
【Exactly. She is so obedient. How can she do it on purpose? Don't accuse her unjustly. 】
Most people thought Jiang Yu was innocent, but Qin Shiyu somehow knew that she was seeking revenge for the incident in the stairwell...
Really didn’t accept any loss at all.
Others were completely unaware of the undercurrent between the two. They finally arrived at the teacher's office. Through the blurred glass window, they could see that the teacher's desk inside was filled with documents.
"Elder Sister Yu, hurry up. It's your turn." Jian Cang called while standing at the door of the classroom.
Jiang Yu gave him a doubtful gaze.
Xiang Chen joked, "Unlocking, isn't it your specialty?"
Jiang Yu looked at the big lock that was almost as big as the palm of her hand:...
Obviously, after the "shared adversity" just now, everyone has loosened up a lot.
【Hahahaha, it is indeed her specialty. The three times she has unlocked the door so far have frightened and cast a shadow over the program crew’s heart.】
【Holy crap, she won’t really open it, right? Can she open this thing? 】
It turned out that on the screen, after Xiang Chen finished teasing Jiang Yu, Jiang Yu lowered her head and started looking for something on the ground. Soon the target was determined. She leaned down to pick up an iron nail, walked forward, and calmly picked the lock.
Not to mention Jian Cang this time, Xiang Chen was shocked, "Can this pry it open?"
Ye Yuanyu and Qin Shiyu couldn't help but move closer to see her show off her skills. The horn in the corner immediately rang, "It is prohibited to dismantle or destroy props. It is prohibited to dismantle or destroy props. It is prohibited to dismantle or destroy props."
Jiang Yu obediently let go of the lock. Suddenly, she raised her head and smiled. Her eyes were curved into crescent moons and her beautiful teeth flashed with a cunning light. Like a little fox that had successfully done a bad thing. Only then did everyone realize that she was just teasing them.
【Hahaha, I know she isn’t that honest, but why can’t I help but believe her when I see her? 】
【Please tell me about the size of the director group’s psychological shadow. Just now, the director group was afraid that they would be late like last time and immediately stopped her. Did they think that she could pry open the big lock with iron nails? 】
【She is obviously a well-behaved top student. Why do you think she can do such a thing that needs to be reported to the police. 】
【That's right! God Yu must have been deceived too. Hahaha, I even saw him sticking his head out. 】
【He always slacks off when playing games. This is the first time that he is so curious. These girls are so funny. 】
Shu Hua laughed loudly, "Bigshot, you are too bad!"
Xiang Chen burst into laughter, "This guy is really mean."
Even Ye Yuanyu laughed and shook his head.
The lock on the office door wasn’t a combination lock. The key was probably hidden somewhere like the button battery from the previous level and needs to be found.
"What is this?" Jian Cang curiously pulled at a small lock, "Anonymous mailbox?"
On the outer wall of the office, there were three rows of palm-sized mailboxes. A total of twelve mailboxes in four rows, and each one was locked.
Ye Yuanyu looked at the note posted nearby and read, "In order to improve the quality of teaching, students can put their suggestions for teachers into the suggestion box to promote the common progress of teachers and students."
"Is this useful?" Shu Hua was curious.
"Whether it's useful or not, the office keys should be hidden in here." Xiang Chen had taken down a bunch of small keys from the door frame of the office, 12 in total.
Jian Cang was surprised, "Elder Brother Chen, why are you so familiar?"
"This was how we kept most of our keys when we were kids." Xiang Chen smiled.
Shu Hua looked at the whole bunch of keys and her face dropped, "Just don't know which key is for which lock it is. Trying them one by one will make you go crazy."
Xiang Chen thought of something and smiled, "Actually, the key of this small lock isn’t very effective. As long as there is a similar key, it can be opened."
When he said this, he looked at Jiang Yu.
Jian Cang, Shu Hua and Ye Yuanyu also turned to her.
Jiang Yu:……
【Hahaha, do they really regard Jiang Yu as a professional locksmith? 】
【Xiang Chen, listen to what you are saying. Have you forgotten that you are a lawyer? He’s actually teaching people how to pick locks. 】
【The problem is that none of them think this is wrong. The program team must be sad. 】
【Program team: Skipping levels is enough. Is the level I designed with so much effort for you to practice your proficiency in picking locks? 】
Just when Xiang Chen handed the key to Jiang Yu, Qin Shiyu opened his mouth, "Here are the clues."
Everyone turned around and saw him with his hand on his forehead, looking inside through the glass window of the office.
Shu Hua ran over immediately and saw a note on the desk by the window: "Teacher Sun, students from our class will come to clean the office after school. When you leave, leave the keys in the same place. It’s almost time for the exam, remember to put according to the puzzles. Otherwise there will always be students coming to steal the papers. ——Teacher Zhang from Class 9, Year 3."
Next to the note was a puzzle note:
"石鸟→？？→从德→舍入→颜色..." Shu Hua was confused, "Is this a literacy question? Are there words on the mailbox?"
Jian Cang and Xiang Chen both came over. After reading, Xiang Chen immediately snapped her fingers, "Two and three!"
"Two three make six! The sixth mailbox?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Yu was heard saying, "Nope."
When he turned around, he saw Qin Shiyu taking the key from Jiang Yu and going straight to open the second mailbox in the first row.
It dawned on Ye Yuanyu, "That’s right, it should be this."
Jian Cang and Xiang Chen understood, "Oh, right!"
Only Shu Hua looked confused, "Huh? Why this? Only me who is reading the question..."
【Fortunately, there is Shu Hua, otherwise I would feel that I am not worthy of watching this show. 】
【So what is the reason? I feel only Shu Hua is reading the question. Xiang Chen went straight to solving. Then Jiang Yu said that he is wrong. God Yu simply found the answer and it dawned on everyone else. In the end, only Shu Hua has the same clear stupidity in her eyes like us. . 】
Ye Yuanyu glanced at her and explained, "These phrases have omitted numbers."
"One stone kills two birds →?? → Three obediences and four virtues → Four round down, five up → Color of five or six colors. So the second phrase should contain two and three, such as two faces, three daggers and so on."
Jian Cang continued, "So the clue is related to two and three."
He pointed to a small red arrow in the lower left corner of the mailbox and said, "This is the symbol of the coordinate axis. The coordinates of 2 and 3 are the first row. So it’s row one, second one."
Although there are 12 keys, only needed to try twelve times at most after determining which mailbox it was. Qin Shiyu opened it after trying the third one.
There was indeed a big key inside.
The door of the office was opened. Dozen or so desks were filled with documents.
Shu Hua habitually asked, "Which one was Teacher Zhang's desk?"
Ye Yuanyu raised her chin and pointed at a desk diagonally opposite, "That one."
Shu Hua looked confused and subconsciously wanted to ask why. But seeing Ye Yuanyu's face, she held back.
Ye Yuanyu glanced down at her and walked over without explaining.
Shu Hua:......
【Hahaha, I feel like the second pair of CPs in "All Rounder 3" is about to be born. The cool school prince and the funny younger school sister in the direction of quarrelsome couple. 】
【Don’t be so firm on the gender card. I’m shipping social-phobic bigshot and her funny younger school sister in the direction of doting - I will give you whatever you want. 】
【Wow, this got so much feel. Anyway, no matter how they match up, we unanimously agree on the funny younger school sister, right? Hahaha. 】
Shu Hua didn't know that the audience had already set her character. At this moment, she looked at Jiang Yu aggrievedly. Jiang Yu laughed and said, "There are nameplates on the desks."
Shu Hua was confused, "Why don't I see it?"
Ye Yuanyu picked up a nameplate from behind a pile of documents and chuckled, "Maybe it's a matter of vision."
Shu Hua:......
【Hahaha, low EQ: you are too short; high EQ: a problem with vision. 】
Shu Hua didn't want to pay attention to Ye Yuanyu and turned to Jiang Yu, "Did you see it too?"
Shu Hua's height wasn’t actually short among girls. She was only a few centimeters shorter than Jiang Yu, about 1.65 meters. There was no reason why she couldn't see what Jiang Yu could.
Jiang Yu pointed to the nameplate on the desk nearby, "They are all in this position, the ones over there are blocked by documents."
Shu Hua was convinced and walked to Teacher Zhang's seat to start searching for clues.
It should be all the classroom teachers in this classroom. Everyone's desk wasn’t small and there was a metal file cabinet nearby, which was full of information.
The few people divided the work and cooperated. Ye Yuanyu quickly dug out several file boxes from the filing cabinet. It contained the files of more than fifty people in the class.
"Li Zhen, Zhang Diyi, Sun Xue, Wang Zha." He quickly took out a few people's portfolios and picked Li Zhen's to take a look at first, "There are physical examination reports, family conditions, and every exam score since entering high school."
"In the parents column, only the father is filled in. She is from a single-parent family? Her father's position is hotel general manager. So the family conditions should be good," Reading here, a strange expression appeared on his face, "The score... 200 or so points?"
【Look at his shocked and ignorant reaction. What’s wrong with 200 or so points? As long as you study hard enough, you can get over 100 points. 】
【Actually, it’s understandable. I’ve heard that the perfect score was 750, but some people have the same expression when they can score 700. 】
Xiang Chen guessed, "Is it possible that her father was busy at work and didn’t give her enough care?"
"It's possible." Ye Yuanyu continued to look down, "The results in the third year of high school..." He said in a complicated tone, "500 or so points."
Everyone was shocked, Shu Hua said, "So much progress? Could it be that her grades were good in the first place, but she was bullied..."
"No," Ye Yuanyu said, "It's because of cheating."
Shu Hua:......
Ye Yuanyu glanced at her and said, "She was caught cheating on the exam and her results were canceled."
Xiang Chen saw Shu Hua glare at Ye Yuanyu. He smiled and comforted, "Okay, but cheating from 200 points to 500 points..."
He seemed to be trying to think of a euphemistic adjective.
Shu Hua clapped her hands and said, "So was she being bullied because she wasn’t smart?"
Realization dawned on Jian Cang, "That makes sense."
【Hahaha, God isn’t smart enough. 】
【It’s really not very smart to cheat from 200 points to 500 points. 】
【Younger school sister actually summed it up quite accurately. 】
Jiang Yu directly handed Zhang Diyi's file to Shu Hua.
Shu Hua lowered her head and looked: "Zhang Diyi, her parents are divorced. She lives with her mother. Oh, she is also from a single-parent family. Her mother works. Her grades have always been among the best in her first and second years of high school. However, her grades plummeted after her third year of high school..."
Jian Cang felt something was amiss, "Because of getting into the bad habit of bullying others, her academic performance dropped?"
Xiang Chen read out Sun Xue's file, "Sun Xue, father is the director of the textile factory. Mother is an accountant...scores are around 250."
Jian Cang opened the file he got, "Wang Zha, her parents run a company...the scores are about 300 points." Seeing this, he couldn't help but complain, "Do the scores have to be arranged according to the arithmetic sequence?"
Shu Hua was confused, "So Zhang Diyi, a student from a poor family with excellent grades, led a group of classmates from well-off families with poor grades to bully another student from a well-off family but not very smart?"
Although there was often little reason for school bullying, the natural tendency of bullying in human nature will target children who are thin and from poor families.
Jiang Yu picked up a stack of leave requests and said, "Ten of the forty leave requests were from Zhang Diyi. The reasons were injuries, sprains, colds and fevers..."
Finally, he concluded, "The person being bullied was Zhang Diyi. Li Zhen was a bully."
"Yes!" Jian Cang suddenly had an idea, "So the desk at the front belongs to Zhang Diyi! Li Zhen's name was engraved on the desk because she hates her!"
Ye Yuanyu added, "Li Zhen's math, chemistry and physics exercise books on the desk are because she was helping her with her homework."
Xiang Chen figured out the key connection, "Indeed, in most cases, regardless of their own learning initiative or the teacher's preference, students with good academic performance will sit in the front row. While students who like to play will sit in the back row. So the back row was Li Zhen, Sun Xue and others’ positions."
Jiang Yu then revealed what she discovered at this time, "The graffiti and handwriting on Li Zhen's textbook are similar to those on the desk. So the textbook on the desk wasn’t the one that was snatched away, but Li Zhen's own."
Xiang Chen said, "The kidnappers took the ransom but arranged this way before they were willing to let her go. It was obviously out of revenge. It was Zhang Diyi who kidnapped Li Zhen!"
It dawned on Shu Hua , "When we just ran over, were those things what Zhang Diyi had experienced?" At this point, she already reached the answer herself and threw the file angrily, "Then she deserves it! Let's go back. I won’t save her.”
Jiang Yu, who had not participated in their discussions and only stated the final conclusion, finally actively spoke, "Don't mess. There’s money."
Jian Cang’s mind became refreshed, "Yes, where is the ransom hidden?"
【Hahahaha, so the bigshot isn’t here to save people. She is here for money. 】
【Why do I feel that they are not planning to save people, but changing the mission goal to finding ransom? 】
【Campus bullying is indeed detestable, but this is a positive show. They must go rescue. 】
【It’s okay, we have a lawyer who will convince them. 】
Sure enough, Xiang Chen said, "No matter what, kidnapping people is definitely wrong. We have to stop Zhang Diyi."
He paused after saying this, "And according to the contract, you can get the ransom only if you save the person."
【……】
【I really didn’t expect you to be this kind of lawyer. 】
【Ah, who will save the program team! God Yu, it’s up to you! 】
Fortunately, Qin Shiyu was reliable. He added with a smile, "Rescuing Li Zhen is the second priority. Actually, the person we really need to save is Zhang Diyi. It's not worth it for to risk herself for such a person."
【Woo woo... My God Yu is so warm. 】
He then continued, "Of course, since we came, we have to get the bonus."
【...Is he worried that he won't be able to convince them, so he gives them some motivation? 】
【En, after all, they aren’t familiar yet and they doesn’t seem very reliable. So it’s better to try to induce a bit. 】
【It’s not that he wants it. God Yu has always regarded money as dirt. 】
No matter what, everyone finally agreed: Li Zhen needs to be saved.
Jian Cang said, "Then where should we go next?"
Jiang Yu said, "Chemistry laboratory."
Shu Hua said, "Why?"
Jiang Yu handed her a note asking for leave.
Shu Hua took it and read, "Teacher, my hand is injured. I'm asking for leave for the fourth quarter and evening self-study."
She said, "Her hand was injured, so that’s why the writing looks so ugly?"
Jiang Yu reminded her, "Look at the date."
"December 19, 2013." Shu Hua finished reading, looking confused, "Then, why is it a chemistry experiment class?"
Ye Yuanyu and the others were confused.
"This leave request was at the top and was the latest." Jiang Yu said, "Do you remember the wall clock in the earlier classroom? The time on it was December 19, 2013 and 2:10."
"The courses for senior high school students are quite intense. They start at 1 p.m. and each class lasts 40 to 45 minutes with a 10-minute break. That means 50 to 55 minutes is the starting point for a class. So around 2:10 is the second period class."
"The second period is math class..."
Shu Hua raised her hand, "What was open on Zhang Diyi's desk was a physics exercise book. Isn't it a physics class?"
Ye Yuanyu glanced at her and said, "Zhang Diyi was obviously doing homework for Li Zhen. What was on Li Zhen's desk was a math textbook. No matter how bad her grades are, she should know what class she was taking."
Shu Hua couldn't help but argue, "Then you are so ignorant. What does not know what classes one takes count as? There’s also those who don't even know what the next exam is."
Ye Yuanyu:......
【Hahaha, Shu Hua wins this round! 】
【Yes, there are people who don’t even know the exam time. I learned a lot. 】
【God Ye is shocked: How could there be such a student? 】
【We are shocked: God Ye didn’t even know this. Top students are actually ignorant? 】
Ye Yuanyu looked at Jiang Yu, "So was this class a math class?"
Jiang Yu, who was inexplicably pulled into the battlefield:...
She looked at Shu Hua, then at Ye Yuanyu, lowered her eyes and said, "In short, based on the information collected so far, it can be inferred that the third period should be chemistry."
Ye Yuanyu:......
Shu Hua looked at Ye Yuanyu proudly.
The audience couldn’t help laughing again:
【Hahaha, it’s a good move to avoid the important part and take it easy. The bigshot dotes on Shu Hua. 】
【I don’t know what this class is, but the next class is a chemistry experiment class. 】
Jiang Yu was afraid that the two of them would fight again, so he quickly interjected, "During the second period, Zhang Diyi was doing homework for Li Zhen. After the third period, she wrote a leave note saying that her hand was injured. That means that in the third period, she may have been bullied."
"Their seats are so far apart. It's impossible during classes like mathematics and physics." Jiang Yu played with the pen in her hand, "In the pile of exercise books on Zhang Diyi's desk, the chemistry experiment report was placed at the top, meaning it must be completed first. Chemistry experiment class has a high degree of freedom, which can provide Li Zhen and others with the conditions to bully Zhang Diyi. So the third class should be the chemistry experiment class."
After she finished speaking, no one said anything, "What's wrong?"
Jian Cang couldn't help but said, "Bigshot, when did you find so much information?!"
【I feel like B-level tasks aren’t enough for bigshot to play. Under normal circumstances, this kind of analysis and reasoning should last for an hour or two? She pushed it out in ten minutes. 】
【The key point is that I haven’t seen her do anything. When she was in the classroom before, I felt like she just wandered around in a circle. Now, she even knows what textbooks was on the other party’s table and even the order. 】
【I'm a little worried about the length. Better not be finished in half an hour by her or I'll give a bad review. 】
【Don't worry, "All Rounder" is so stubborn. There should be some backup plans. 】
【Yes, you have to believe that the program team will not let her run wild. 】
【Hahahaha, isn’t this revenge coming? 】
