Chapter 391: Teacher Jiang Asks For Help

The sunlight outside the window was bright and warm.

Tang Hao sat on a chair next to the window. Teacher Jiang was conducting the lesson on the teaching podium. Her voice was crisp and melodic. It was a joy to listen to her speak.

She was dressed quite plainly in a thin black cotton top and a pair of skinny jeans.

No matter how plainly she dressed, her clothes could not hide the charm of her body. She was almost as attractive as Officer Zhao.

Her long, black hair was tied in a ponytail. It bobbed whenever she moved.

Her fair face was lightly adorned with foundation and powder. She looked pure and innocent.

Tang Hao appreciated his teacher’s body. With such a beautiful female teacher, the mood of the lecture was different.

Two periods of classes passed in the blink of an eye.

The bell rang, signifying the end of the class.

The students got up from their seats and streamed out of the classroom.

Tang Hao packed his textbooks in his backpack. He was about to leave the classroom when he heard Teacher Jiang call him from the podium. “Stay back for a while, Tang Hao. I have something to speak to you.”

Tang Hao was surprised.

He turned around and saw that Teacher Jiang’s expression was fraught with anxiety.

“Oh!” Tang Hao replied and stopped walking.

After everyone left, he walked over and asked, “Is there something, Teacher Jiang?”

Jiang Wanying’s brows were locked even tighter. She hesitated for a while before she took out her phone, tapped it a few times, and showed it to Tang Hao.

Tang Hao took the phone. He saw a text message with only one word in it: Careful.

Tang Hao furrowed his brows. When he saw the name of the sender, he was shocked.

The sender of the message was Jiang Wanying’s father.

“What… What’s going on?” Tang Hao was confused.

‘Careful? What should she be careful about?’ He could not discern any clue from the message.

Jiang Wanying shook her head and said in frustration, “I don’t know. I got this message late at night. I didn’t see it immediately, and only read it when I woke up at seven o’clock this morning.

“When I tried calling him, his phone was already out of service. I tried calling my mother, and her phone was out of service as well. No one picked up the landline phone in the house either.”

She became more anxious as she spoke. “I called my father’s office, and they said that they hadn’t seen him since morning. My father never misses work. Something bad must have happened.”

Tang Hao looked at the message on the phone with a grim expression on his face.

Putting together all the information he knew, something must have happened to Teacher Jiang’s father. The message was short, which meant that it might have been sent during an emergency.

According to Teacher Jiang, her father was a regular high school teacher, while her mother was a civil servant. Those were very mundane jobs, and they were very mundane people. Why would they be caught up in any trouble?

“Did your parents tell you anything when you last called them?” Tang Hao asked.

Jiang Wanying shook her head. “Nothing out of the ordinary. I can’t imagine what might happen to them.”
