The door to the rooftop swung open. Fu Li couldn't help rubbing his nose. It was unknown if the rooftop had gone unswept for too long or if some animal had died up there, but there was a stinky smell coming from it.
"Don't come over first," Fu Li glanced back at the headmaster and nodded at Zhuang Qing. Zhuang Qing walked up to the rooftop, where there was undried sewage as well as a thick layer of rust over the railings that bore the brunt of wind and rain all year long.
The headmaster stood behind the door, sighing, "This place hasn't been used for a long time. For some unknown reason, strange things have continuously been happening recently. Nurturing children isn't easy, and there were multiple instances of people jumping from the building. The students' parents aren't the only ones who are upset, so are we." As the school's headmaster, he viewed every student in the school as hope for the future.
Zhuang Qing glanced around before turning to look at Fu Li.
Fu Li nodded.
"I know what's the problem," Zhuang Qing walked out onto the rooftop, his shoes grinding the dust beneath. "We'll settle it at night."
"At night?" The headmaster replied worriedly. "Doing it in the morning might be a bit safer?" Mishaps had occurred at the school repeatedly, and alerting the police hadn't been of any use. Afterwards, the senior leaders had mentioned dispatching staff from the security department or whatnot. That one of them would be the famous boss of Chang Long Biotechnology Company had been out of his expectations.
Nowadays, even a rich owner of a company had to hold two jobs simultaneously. They didn't have it easy either.
Although he wanted to resolve the issues occurring in the school and prevent the loss of more students' lives, he didn't want to implicate innocent people. "Mr Zhuang, this matter isn't very urgent, why don't we wait for daytime..."
"This problem can't be resolved during the day," Zhuang Qing turned back and beckoned Fu Li over. "What are you doing standing there foolishly?"
Fu Li came down from the rooftop and asked Zhuang Qing in a low voice, "Why do we have to personally handle such a small thing? What about the rest?"
"Didn't you just happen to be idle?" Zhuang Qing leaned his head to the side with some discomfort. "Familiarize yourself more with your work. You're new, so you don't know that there are many things that the management bureau has to do."
The headmaster couldn't accompany the two people at all times, so after arranging food and lodging for them, he appointed a teacher to act as their guard, allowing them to familiarize themselves with the school layout.
Zhuang Qing and Fu Li didn't intend to allow the teacher to follow them. Thus, after taking down the other party's phone number, they sent the teacher back to rest, saying that they would call him when night arrived.
"So this is what a university is like," Fu Li watched the young humans brimming with enthusiasm beside him. He could sense strong vitality from these young people.
From time to time, boys transporting girls on their bicycle would pass by them, causing passersby to reveal envious gazes.
Fu Li watched these loving couples pass by with a broad smile. He told Zhuang Qing, "Humans are very interesting."
"Is it their emotions or the person that's interesting?" Zhuang Qing watched Fu Li gaze fixedly at a passing student, his head turned in silence.
"Captain Z-Zhuang," A very dashing boy rushed in front of Zhuang Qing and bowed. "Did you come to resolve the issue of the haunted campus?"
