Chapter 278: Chapter 278: She Disappeared

Early in the morning the next day, Yan Qianyi came to the dormitory carrying a bottle of red wine and found that Yan Chuhua was not there.

Yan Chuhua usually liked to sleep in, usually getting up at the very last minute.

But now the bed was neatly made, as if no one had slept in it all night.

Feeling that something was off, she quickly called Yan Chuhua, but no one answered.

She then went to the male dormitory building to find Yun Mu and Xue Xiaoguang.

Neither of them had been in contact with Yan Chuhua either.

Xue Xiaoguang said, "Didn’t I invite everyone to dinner last night? Sister, you didn’t come, and then Chu Hua said she was meeting a friend and didn’t dine with us either. We haven’t heard from her since."

Yan Qianyi asked Yun Mu, "Hasn’t she contacted you either?"

Yun Mu shook his head.

"I’ll go look for her in the classroom; you guys can have this bottle of wine."

Yan Qianyi thrust the wine bottle into Xue Xiaoguang’s arms and quickly walked away.

Holding the wine bottle, Xue Xiaoguang looked at it and asked Yun Mu, "This wine seems really good, don’t you think?"

"Chu Hua is missing, and you’re still in the mood for this?"

Yun Mu glared at Xue Xiaoguang and went to look for Yan Chuhua.

Xue Xiaoguang stood rooted to the spot, muttering to himself, "What’s there to worry about? Chu Hua is not a child; could something have happened to her? She’s probably out having fun."

However, class had started, and Yan Chuhua still had not appeared.

Yan Qianyi informed Mai Hunter that she could not contact Yan Chuhua.

Mai Hunter immediately reported it to the headmaster and deployed the school’s security to search for her.

They also tried to contact Yan Chuhua’s parents, but were unable to reach them.

Mai Hunter comforted Yan Qianyi, "You go back to class for now. Try not to worry too much; I’ll keep trying to reach her family."

"Teacher, what do her parents do?" Yan Qianyi asked.

To prevent foreign spies from infiltrating, the school conducted a rigorous background check on every student entering the Military Academy.

So Mai Hunter definitely knew.

Mai Hunter said, "They are just ordinary office workers; her mother sells things in a shopping mall, and her father seems to work at a small company."

Hearing this, Yan Qianyi’s expression darkened even more.

With Chu Hua’s demeanor, she just didn’t seem to come from an ordinary wage-earning family.

There must be something fishy!

She asked, "Could you give me Chu Hua’s family contact information? I want to try to get in touch as well."

The school’s policy forbade the distribution of student information, but Mai Hunter was never one to stick to the rules.

Knowing that Yan Qianyi and Yan Chuhua were close friends, he immediately sent Yan Chuhua’s family information stored at the school to Yan Qianyi.

At noon, while dining in the cafeteria.

Xue Xiaoguang realized that something had really happened to Yan Chuhua and was very worried, "What should we do? Chu Hua hasn’t met with any danger, has she?"

Yan Qianyi was looking at Yan Chuhua’s family information, and Yun Mu was seemingly searching for something online; both were silently staring at their respective light screens.

Xue Xiaoguang urged anxiously, "Say something, would you? Weren’t you two anxious this morning?"

Yun Mu looked up, shooting Xue Xiaoguang a glance, "What use is worrying now?"

"Then... what should we do?" Normally Xue Xiaoguang had a huge appetite, but today he couldn’t eat a single grain of rice at lunch, "We need to do something, right? We can’t just sit here waiting!"

"I’m researching," Yan Qianyi took a sip of water and asked them, "Did Chu Hua ever mention her family to you guys?"

Yun Mu and Xue Xiaoguang shook their heads.

Yan Qianyi asked again, "She said she was going to meet a friend last night, did she not tell you who it was?"

Both of them still shook their heads with an increasingly solemn expression.

Yan Qianyi put away the light screen and picked up her chopsticks. "Let’s eat and wait for the investigation results from the school."

Yun Mu also put away his light screen and started eating.

However, Xue Xiaoguang had no appetite. "How can you still eat!"

Xue Xiaoguang was extremely loyal and straightforward, unable to remain as composed as Yan Qianyi and Yun Mu.

He was born in a slum on a Low-class Star, where from a young age, he had to fight for food from others’ mouths to survive.

In the slums, there was no emotional attachment, like primitive animals, living solely for food.

People could even kill over a mouthful of food.

Thus, before he entered the Military Academy, Xue Xiaoguang had no friends.

Though he often bickered with Yan Chuhua, she had long become an indispensable friend in his life.

"Will starving yourself make Chu Hua appear? If you’re full, you’ll have the strength to find her."

After saying this, Yan Qianyi paid no more attention to Xue Xiaoguang.

Once she quickly finished eating, she returned to the girls’ dormitory, logged into the organization’s website, and contacted Xiao Hei.

She sent Yan Chuhua’s information to Xiao Hei and also transferred money to Xiao Hei’s organization account.

Cat Immortal: "Xiao Hei, help me find where she is and investigate her parents."

Xiao Hei: "You’re so stingy, yet you transferred the money upfront this time. This person must be very important to you!"

Xiao Hei was surprised because usually, Cat Immortal would only transfer money after the job was done and she would still argue over a few hundred dollars.

Today, not only was there no bargaining but she had directly transferred one hundred thousand.

Cat Immortal: "Stop talking, just help me investigate quickly!"

Xiao Hei: "OK, I will give you an answer by six o’ clock."

Amid her hectic life, this unexpected event appeared, but Yan Qianyi carried on methodically.

She suspected Yan Chuhua’s identity was fake.

Yan Chuhua could not possibly come from a working-class family, and now her parents were unreachable as well.

Thus, the sudden disappearance had to be linked to her identity.

Now, all she could do was wait calmly for Xiao Hei’s investigation results.

After classes ended at 5:30 PM, Yan Qianyi logged onto the organization’s platform early, ready to receive news from Xiao Hei.

At 5:58 PM, Xiao Hei sent a message.

Xiao Hei: "Immortal, this person is not simple."

Cat Immortal: "Get to the point. Can her current location be tracked through her personal system?"

Xiao Hei: "No, her personal system is forged."

Cat Immortal: "Forged? What do you mean?"

Xiao Hei: "It means that this person doesn’t actually exist, it’s all fake."

Cat Immortal: "How is that possible! She is a student of the Federation Military Academy. During the entrance examination, the academy would have investigated her family background."

Xiao Hei: "That’s why I said she isn’t simple. She even managed to evade the scrutiny of the Federation Military Academy, and her parents’ personal systems are also forged. If you visit her parents’ workplace now, you probably won’t find anyone."

Cat Immortal: "Do you have any other leads?"

Xiao Hei: "Their family’s personal systems are now in a stagnant state, cutting off many sources of information. Only the national main system’s intervention can reveal more."

As Yan Qianyi read Xiao Hei’s message, she fell into deep thought.

If even Xiao Hei couldn’t locate them, it seemed she would have to find a way to get the main system involved.
