When she returned to the dormitory, Gu Qingchen realized that Yan Xiaoju had not returned yet. It was already very late. Logically, Yan Xiaoju supposed to have return. Yan Xiaoju was only going home to get some daily necessities. There was no way she would not be back so late.

Gu Qingchen was still a little worried. However, she did not know Yan Xiaoju’s home number, so she could only wait for a while. However, when it was almost twelve o’clock, Yan Xiaoju was still not back.

Gu Qingchen could not sit still anymore. After thinking for a while, she went straight to the classroom dormitory and knocked on Mr. Lin’s door.

Mr. Lin had just fallen asleep. Initially, he was annoyed that someone had disturbed his sleep. However, when he opened the door and saw that it was Gu Qingchen, his anger subsided.

“Gu Qingchen, why are you here so late? Is there something urgent?”

Mr. Lin thought that there was a change in his treatment, so he was a little nervous.

Gu Qingchen quickly said, “Mr. Lin, I’m looking for you for a private matter. The girl who lives with me is called Yan Xiaoju. She said that she was going home to pick up some daily necessities and would be back in a while. But she hasn’t come back yet, so I’m a little worried. But I don’t know her contact information. Could you please help me check it?”

The matters of the freshmen were all managed by the student affairs office. The director of the student affair office was Jiang Yi. Gu Qingchen and he had been on bad terms. Even if Gu Qingchen went to look for him, he wouldn’t tell Gu Qingchen.

After thinking about it, Gu Qingchen still felt that it was more reliable for her to look for Mr. Lin.

Mr. Lin was stunned for a moment before agreeing, “Wait here. I’ll go look for Director Jiang.”

Mr. Lin also knew about the conflict between Gu Qingchen and Jiang Yi. He was willing to help with such a small favor.

Moreover, Hongfeng’s students did not come back so late. As a teacher, he had to show some concern.

Not long after, Mr. Lin came back. He was wearing a long face. She did not know what Jiang Yi had said to Mr. Lin. After all, it was already so late. The teachers had all gone to bed.

Fortunately, Mr. Lin had gotten Yan Xiaoju’s home phone number. Gu Qingchen made a call directly from Mr. Lin’s room. The phone rang for a long time before someone answered.

The person on the other end did not sound very good. “Who is it? Why are you calling in the middle of the night!”

It was a middle-aged woman’s voice. It was very rough.

“Hello, I’m looking for Yan Xiaoju. This is Hongfeng School. She did not come back after school today. May I ask if she is at home?”

Gu Qingchen had always known that the Yan family was very harsh on Yan Xiaoju. Otherwise, she would not have called in the middle of the night to ask if Yan Xiaoju was at home.

The person on the other end of the line was clearly stunned and did not speak. From afar, another woman’s voice could be heard. She had a very bad temper. “Aunt Wu, who is it? They’re calling us in the middle of the night and not letting me sleep!”

It turned out that the person who answered the phone was a servant of the Yan family. Aunt Wu immediately said, “Madam, it’s the wrong number. You should go to sleep.”

Hearing that the madam did not speak, Aunt Wu lowered her voice and asked softly, “Who are you?”

Gu Qingchen replied, “I’m Yan Xiaoju’s good friend and roommate. I’m a little worried that she hasn’t come back yet.”

Aunt Wu said carefully again, “You’re Xiaoju’s friend. She can’t go back now. I don’t think she can go back to Hongfeng School either.”

Gu Qingchen immediately frowned, and her tone became much colder. “Why? Her family asked her to not come back to school?”

“Ah, don’t ask so many questions. Xiaoju’s life is tough, and she’s not blessed. I thought she would be different if she got into Hongfeng. Who knew…”

Aunt Wu was also a little sad. She felt that Yan Xiaoju was too pitiful. After all, she was just a child.

“What’s wrong with her?”

Under Gu Qingchen’s questioning, Aunt Wu finally told her, “She’s locked up. Madam said that Yan Xiaoju won’t have to go to school in the future. This is all because the eldest miss didn’t get to go to Hongfeng. Forget it. It’s useless to tell you so much. Don’t call her again in the future. Otherwise, if Madam finds out, Xiaoju will get beaten up.”

Aunt Wu quickly hung up the phone. Gu Qingchen’s phone beeped, but the cold aura emanating from her body made even Mr. Lin feel a little afraid.

He had never thought that a student would have such a fierce aura. Although the students of Hongfeng were very strong, there weren’t many like Gu Qingchen.

After hanging up the phone, Gu Qingchen was silent for a while. Then, she dialed another number. The call was quickly picked up.

“Xiang Yang, it’s me. Help me find a person’s address. The residential phone number is… get it as soon as possible. I want it now.”

Although Gu Qingchen could ask Mr. Lin to look for Jiang Yi again, Mr. Lin’s expression changed when she asked for a phone number just now. She could not let Mr. Lin to be scolded again.

After all, Mr. Lin was a patient with heart condition. He could not be too stressed or had any strong emotion.

After about half an hour, the call finally came. Xiang Yang told Gu Qingchen the address and also said that she would immediately come to pick up Gu Qingchen and accompany Gu Qingchen.

After thinking for a while, Gu Qingchen agreed. Mr. Lin was a little worried and said that he would go with them. Gu Qingchen felt that it was better to have a teacher from Hongfeng accompanying her.

She still did not know what the Yan family’s attitude was. If the Yan family’s attitude was tough, Gu Qingchen could only barge in and take Yan Xiaoju away with her forcefully.

Xiang Yang was very fast. When Gu Qingchen and Mr. Lin walked out of the school gate, they saw Xiang Yang waiting there.

Because Mr. Lin was accompanying them, the guard let Gu Qingchen and Mr. Lin go out.

“Qingchen, Little Bean is waiting outside with her car.”

Because Hongfeng had a rule that no cars could be parked outside the school gate, Little Bean’s car could only be parked a few hundred meters away.

Gu Qingchen only nodded and then sped up. She walked out with Mr. Lin. After getting into the car, Little Bean stepped on the accelerator and stepped out.

Because it was late at night, there was no one on the road. Little Bean drove quickly and soon arrived at Yan Xiaoju’s house.

Fortunately, Yan Xiaoju’s house was only a high-end residential area and not a garden villa. Otherwise, it would be difficult to enter the house.

Yan Xiaoju’s house was on the first floor. Gu Qingchen went up to ring the doorbell. Yan Xiaoju’s stepmother already had a headache from the phone calls at night. Now that someone was ringing the doorbell, Yan Xiaoju’s stepmother became irritable.

The person who opened the door was Aunt Wu. When she saw Gu Qingchen and the others, she was shocked. All of them were men except Gu Qingchen. She thought they were going to rob someone, so she hurriedly closed the door.

Little Bean rushed up, blocked the door, and pushed the door open.

“Who are you people? What are you doing? Don’t do anything, or I’ll call the police!”

Aunt Wu was trembling. Yan Xiaoju’s stepmother had also gotten up. She had just walked from the bedroom to the hall when she heard Aunt Wu’s words. She immediately called out and ran back.

Not long after, a man came out. Behind him was Yan Xiaoju’s stepmother. This man should be Yan Xiaoju’s father.

“Trespassing in the middle of the night? Who are you people? Are you disregarding the law? This place is very close to the police station. If things get out of hand, you won’t have a good ending. If you want money, we still have some at home. Aunt Wu…”
