"Mr.," Feng Lan said, her eyes wide as she looked at the camera in Jiang Cheng's hand, "what are you doing?"

"Who allowed you to take pictures!" the head female security guard shouted. She stormed towards the door, obviously suspecting that Jiang Cheng and his group were going to make a big deal out of this.

Similar reports were common in the news.

Her build was comparable to Fatty's. If a fight really broke out, the three female security guards would be enough to give them a hard time.

Just as the female security guard stepped out the door, Jiang Cheng wisely raised the camera and deleted the photo in front of her.

The woman was stunned for a moment, seemingly not expecting the man in front of her to be so reasonable.

"It's all a misunderstanding," Zhen Jianren said first. Seeing the female security guard stepping out the door, he finally felt relieved. "My friend must have just gotten lost."

"By the way," he asked, pretending to be puzzled, "did you...lose something?"

The woman glanced back at Luo Yi, her eyes a little strange. After a long while, she said, "No, we didn't."

Seeing this, Zhen Jianren continued to ask, "Since you didn't lose anything, how can you say he's a thief?"

Another woman walked over from inside. She looked thinner than the head woman, but more sturdy.

A baton was clipped to her waist, and her voice was hoarse as she said, "We don't want to make a big deal out of this either, but this is what the leader wants."

The woman's eyes were long and narrow, and she looked rather helpless.

"Which leader?" Yu Wen suddenly asked.

The woman hesitated for a moment, then seemed to think that it wouldn't matter even if she told them, so she said, "It's Director Li."

"Director Li is our Dean of Academics," Feng Lan explained to everyone, looking like she was hearing this for the first time as well. "She's been at the school for many years. I heard that the school was able to develop to where it is today thanks to her."

"Her words carry a lot of weight here."

Director Li...

Everyone remembered this name.

Looks like another important NPC.

"Then where is Director Li?"

"She's not here," the head woman replied.

"But we want to take our friend away," Zhen Jianren said, bowing slightly to show his affability. He looked at the woman in front of him and said, "We were invited by your school to film the anniversary celebration. There's a rehearsal this afternoon."

"I think if it's delayed because of this misunderstanding, it might cause a lot of unnecessary trouble."

"This..." The female security guards looked troubled.

They knew about the upcoming anniversary celebration.

The celebration was held once every ten years and was very grand.

All the school leaders would be present at that time.

They didn't even dare to think about the series of consequences that would be triggered by delaying such an event.

But strict handling was what Director Li wanted.

Feng Lan saw the embarrassment of the security guards, so she said, "How about this, why don't you let him go first and let him go film."

"If you find solid evidence in the meantime that proves he stole something, you can come back to him later."

"What if he runs away?" the security guard who hadn't spoken all along asked, her voice a little dull.

"I'll keep an eye on him," Feng Lan promised.

After thinking it over, the female security guards could only agree.

"Then we'll have to trouble you," the head female security guard said, "Teacher Feng."

After saying that, she waved her hand at Luo Yi, signaling that he could leave.

Luo Yi walked to everyone's side in a few steps. Zhen Jianren thanked them on behalf of everyone, and then the group turned to leave.

Zhang Yinyin stayed at the very end. She walked very slowly, and after she had distanced herself from everyone, she quickly took out a small, shiny object from her pajamas.

It was a mirror.

The mirror was extremely irregular, with sharp edges, like a fragment left behind after a large mirror shattered.

She held up the mirror, her back to room 304, observing the security guards inside through the reflection.

After a long while...

"Phew--"

She slowly let out a breath. Fortunately, the worst situation she had expected had not happened.

Just as she was about to put away the mirror and turn to leave.

She inadvertently glanced at the edge of the mirror.

The next second, her eyes widened suddenly.

In the mirror's reflection, a huge face suddenly appeared.

The giant face was constantly approaching, almost occupying the entire mirror surface!

What was even more terrifying was that the face had a blood basin-like mouth!

"Ah! Aaaah!!"

She screamed.

Her hand trembled, and the mirror fell to the ground, shattering into countless pieces.

Standing behind her, Jiang Cheng closed his blood basin-like mouth, touched his chin, and said with slight dissatisfaction, "Miss Zhang, I just wanted to take advantage of you looking in the mirror to observe my molars, because I'm in puberty recently and they have a slight inflammation, but..."

Before Jiang Cheng could finish speaking, the others who had already walked away ran back.

Yu Wen stared at Jiang Cheng and Zhang Yinyin, habitually casting her gaze on the uneasy latter.

"What's going on?" Yu Wen said coldly.

"No...nothing..." Zhang Yinyin's body trembled, as if she hadn't recovered yet.

"If nothing's wrong, what are you screaming about?"

Zhou Taifu had long been annoyed by Zhang Yinyin. That sudden yell just now had scared him so much that he almost fell down the stairs.

"Alright, alright," Jiang Cheng stood out, taking the initiative to defuse the situation for Zhang Yinyin.

"Miss Zhang didn't do it on purpose either. She's just too nervous. Everyone, don't blame her anymore."

At this time, someone noticed the glittering spots on the ground.

Their expressions gradually became strange.

Feng Lan glanced at her watch and suddenly exclaimed, "It's 2:10!"

The rehearsal was the main quest, and even if Feng Lan didn't urge them, no one would dare to delay.

Everyone ran to the music classroom on the fourth floor in one breath.

Although they were only one floor apart, the office and the music classroom were at opposite ends of the building, one south and one north.

The distance was really not short.

When they ran to the door, there were already students who looked like student leaders waiting outside. They finally breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Feng Lan.

"Teacher Feng," one of the girls wearing round glasses trotted forward and greeted, "We've been waiting for you. Teacher Wu said their equipment is already set up and asked when we can start."

She spoke very quickly, looking like she had been urged helplessly. She complained in a low voice, "They've urged us back and forth several times."

"Go tell them now that we're here and will start in 5 minutes."

The girl responded and then pushed the door open and went inside.

"I'm going to check on the other groups and verify the personnel list," Feng Lan turned and said to Yu Wen.

She had a good impression of this woman. The latter belonged to the rare type who didn't look bad, but wasn't annoying to other women.

Heroic, taciturn, calm, and looked very reliable.

"Okay," Yu Wen nodded to her, with no expression on her face.

Feng Lan turned to leave.

But after taking only a few steps, she seemed to suddenly remember something and turned back to look at Luo Yi a few times, but in the end, she didn't say anything.

After Feng Lan left, everyone's eyes looked at Luo Yi, seemingly unintentionally.

His being caught was no accident.

Especially since he was being targeted so much.

The so-called Dean of Academics was likely someone who knew the inside story.

But... what everyone was most concerned about was--

What kind of information did he get?

Perhaps...

He already knew the identity of the female ghost, or even the truth of her death...?
