~7 min read 1,252 words

"What’s wrong? Desperate? Yes, that’s the look of hatred. Haha, Yang Yun, didn't expect it, did you? You’d have a day like this too!" Li Hong laughed loudly as he looked at me.

I looked at the flowing water in the river, gritted my teeth, and jumped down. The river water was extremely cold, without a trace of warmth, and even carried a foul smell. This river had already been polluted by people today to who knows what state.

I only felt a wave of dizziness. I, who didn't know how to swim, was drinking water and gasping for air in the river. Coupled with the fast speed of the water, the sounds from the shore were getting further and further away, or perhaps it was because my consciousness was becoming weaker and weaker.

As for Li Hong on the shore, he was dumbfounded. He didn't expect Yang Yun to jump into the moat so decisively. He was anxious and hurriedly shouted to the people around him: "Whoever has good swimming skills, go down and catch him back, don't let him run!"

However, everyone understood the legends about the moat, and at this moment, not a single person was willing to go down. Seeing this situation, Li Hong was furious. However, a person beside him said to Li Hong: "Young Master Li, look, that guy doesn't know how to swim at all. With such rapid river water, that guy definitely won't survive!"

Li Hong saw Yang Yun gradually sinking not far away and felt that what this guy said made sense, so he said: "Alright, since that’s the case, let’s leave quickly. Clean up the scene. And you all should know what should be said and what shouldn't. Otherwise, don't blame me for not warning you in advance!"

Hearing these words, these people nodded repeatedly. They were very clear about the things Li Hong did. This guy Li Hong was very ruthless in his actions. If they really said something, who knows what would happen.

The next day, when going to school, Yang Yun didn't go. Chen Ling and Zhang Wu and the others were very strange, because Yang Yun usually came to school very early, but today it was almost time for class, and Yang Yun still hadn't come, and no one answered when they called. They were extremely worried.

Chen Ling happened to see Xu Hongzhi coming in from outside the classroom at this time and quickly grabbed Xu Hongzhi and asked: "Xu Hongzhi, have you seen Yang Yun?"

"Yang Yun? Why are you asking me where Yang Yun is?" Xu Hongzhi said very impatiently.

"Aren't you always living with Yang Yun?" Chen Ling asked suspiciously.

"I didn't go to his house yesterday, and I have nothing to do with Yang Yun from now on. Don't ask me about everything!" Xu Hongzhi snorted and then returned to his seat directly.

"Third Brother, Fourth Brother is missing. Aren't you worried at all?" Zhang Wu said anxiously from the side.

Hearing Zhang Wu’s words, Xu Hongzhi froze for a moment, then snorted and said: "What does it have to do with me?"

Seeing Xu Hongzhi’s reaction, Zhang Wu was so angry that he was shaking and roared: "If you won't look, I will!"

Zhang Wu left the classroom directly, looking like he was going out to find Yang Yun. Chen Ling also hurriedly followed, but was stopped by Zhang Wu. Zhang Wu said to Chen Ling: "Class Monitor, you don't need to go. Class will start soon, and you still have to study. I’m just here to waste time anyway, I’ll go. Don't worry!"

Hearing this, Chen Ling was still a bit hesitant. It was clear she was also very uneasy and very scared in her heart.

"I’ll go with you. After all, you are the Class Monitor, you still have to stay here!" Suddenly, a voice came. Chen Ling turned to look and found it was Zhang Yinuo. Seeing Zhang Yinuo come out to help, Zhang Wu was overjoyed and nodded quickly.

Although Chen Ling was very dissatisfied to see Zhang Yinuo, what they said was indeed correct. After all, she was the Class Monitor; if she took the lead in skipping class, the impact would indeed be bad.

And Xu Hongzhi, not far away, saw Zhang Yinuo actually follow and felt a bit disappointed. He wanted to follow along, but couldn't bring himself to do it, so he didn't follow.

However, after searching for the whole morning, there was no news. Zhang Wu was extremely anxious and said to Zhang Yinuo beside him: "Should we report to the authorities?"

"There’s no way to report to the authorities until the time for a missing person has passed!" Zhang Yinuo said helplessly.

"Are we just going to ignore it like this? Searching like this is simply not a way; there’s not a single clue!" Zhang Wu said anxiously.

Zhang Yinuo suddenly thought of something, her expression shifted, and she muttered: "Perhaps Xu Hongzhi knows where he is!"

Hearing Zhang Yinuo’s words, Zhang Wu was stunned: "What? Third Brother knows? Didn't he just say he didn't know?"

"He must know something, and he didn't tell us. Yesterday, I remember Xu Hongzhi and Yang Yun were talking outside, and I vaguely heard something about an activity at night. But I didn't hear it very clearly; it must have been about last night’s incident!" Zhang Yinuo decided decisively.

Hearing Zhang Yinuo’s words, Zhang Wu was a bit incredulous: "What? Impossible, Third Brother couldn't have done that!"

"Let’s not talk about this for now, let’s go back to school first and ask Xu Hongzhi clearly!" Zhang Yinuo pulled Zhang Wu and quickly returned to school.

Back in the classroom, Chen Ling saw Zhang Yinuo and Zhang Wu and said excitedly: "How is it? Has Brother Yang Yun been found?"

Zhang Yinuo shook her head helplessly. Seeing this situation, Chen Ling became anxious: "How could you not find him? Did you really search carefully?"

Regarding Chen Ling at this moment, Zhang Yinuo didn't intend to entangle with her, but walked straight to Xu Hongzhi. Xu Hongzhi was still chatting with a girl beside him, looking very happy, and didn't notice the arrival of Zhang Yinuo and Zhang Wu at all.

Zhang Yinuo coughed twice and then knocked on Xu Hongzhi’s desk. Xu Hongzhi turned and saw Zhang Yinuo, immediately smiled awkwardly and said: "Yinuo, what’s wrong? Is there something?"

"Do you know where Yang Yun went last night?" Zhang Yinuo simply got straight to the point, not intending to beat around the bush.

Hearing Zhang Yinuo’s words, Xu Hongzhi’s face clearly didn't look good, and his eyes were darting around, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Looking at you like this, you must know. Where did he go?" Zhang Yinuo shouted, looking at Xu Hongzhi with a livid face.

Seeing Zhang Yinuo actually losing her temper at him, Xu Hongzhi suddenly became furious and cursed: "How the hell would I know? I’m not a roundworm in his stomach!"

Xu Hongzhi’s words startled everyone in the class. Zhang Wu also said to Xu Hongzhi unhappily: "Third Brother, do you have to be so angry? Isn't it just asking you a question? Do you have to?"

"Have to? You all care so much about Yang Yun, who has ever cared about me? Why is he protected by you everywhere? That guy is just a useless piece of trash, trash!" Xu Hongzhi shouted in a rage. ===== CHAPTER 182 =====
