Sang Qingxiao led the way while recounting the events he had uncovered in the past few days to Meng Zhangyuan.
Meng Zhangyuan expressed concern about the young girl from the Wen Family, who was quite delicate and should not be involved in dangerous matters, especially at night.
Wang Kuan was clever and skilled at maneuvering, but this situation was too perilous. Could they consider someone else?
However, Sang Qingxiao insisted that Wang Kuan was not only clever but also had a purpose in his actions. If they rejected him, he might not give up easily. Moreover, he was indeed a suitable candidate, and Sang Qingxiao had already sent a spirit to follow him to ensure his safety.
They caught up with Wen Zhaojun and Lian Baoying, but Li Cu had already vanished. He patted their shoulders, causing both to jump in surprise.
"Meng Zhangyuan!" they exclaimed, their voices barely above a whisper.
Meng Zhangyuan glared at them, threatening to settle accounts with them later.
Sang Qingxiao asked with a smile, "Did Li Cu get in?"
Lian Baoying frowned, "Yes, it's been a while. I wish I could turn into a cat too; standing here is driving me crazy."
Wen Zhaojun pulled out a piece of paper, frowning. "Today there are two more people than last time. These two must be new additions, asking all sorts of questions during the meeting."
At this rate, more and more people would join in. Shouldn't they speed up their investigation to prevent more individuals from getting involved?
Meng Zhangyuan held the list tightly in his hand, his brow furrowing deeper as he examined it. Under the moonlight earlier, he hadn't seen clearly; now he realized that the names of the Surname Family and Female Student were on it!
This matter could not have started just in the past few months. After such a long time, how had he failed to notice anything? As the Headmaster, he felt utterly negligent.
Had those missing students also come here at night?
Sang Qingxiao suggested, "Meng Zhangyuan, I think it's necessary to investigate all graduates from the Surname Family since the establishment of Charity Hall within the Imperial Academy."
Meng Zhangyuan felt anxious. "Are you suggesting that the disappearances are not limited to just those from Charity Hall?"
"Let's start with an investigation," he replied. "You provide the list; Wen Zhaojun has connections. She can look into it and should have concrete information within a few days."
Li Cu returned quickly before any of the students emerged. She rushed into Sang Qingxiao's arms and immediately began talking about how the students were selling information.
Lian Baoying's face was filled with rage while Wen Zhaojun remained stunned for quite some time. Meng Zhangyuan's expression was more complex; amidst his shock lay understanding and sorrow.
Lian Baoying fumed, "My uncle was just reprimanded by His Majesty for something trivial! I had mentioned a few things at the Imperial Academy; could it be that they reached certain ears?"
Wen Zhaojun stammered, "My grandfather has also been reported by officials for something minor that happened at the Imperial Academy."
Lian Baoying continued angrily, "I say we stop this investigation right here! Why risk everything for their lives? If they went missing, it's their own doing! If they hadn't sold information, no one would be targeting them!"
Li Cu transmitted a message to Sang Qingxiao, explaining that this was just their branch; not far outside the city was the headquarters, though he hadn't heard of its exact location. However, it was quite remote, and supplies needed to be delivered every few days. If he followed the supplies, he should be able to find their lair.
There was no rush. Wang Kuan had to take the lead role, so he would pass on some information to him and let him find it himself.
