Chapter 720: Chapter 720: Arriving at the Scene

Jiangli heard the words and got up to ask, "Is Team Leader Song and his team responsible for the school?"

Xia Xin had been cautious this time, having already asked Song Taishan.

"I just asked Team Leader Song," Xia Xin said. "He confirmed that they are in charge, and they have just taken the body back for further investigation. Team Leader Song also mentioned that he was considering, if the police couldn’t find anything else, secretly asking our ancestors for help."

Jiangli said, "Well, that’s fortunate. Tell Team Leader Song that we’ll first visit the school and then the police station to examine the body later. I hope he can facilitate that for us."

Xia Xin nodded, seeing her sit down at the dining table, he quickly set the breakfast, "Alright, Ancestor, you eat something first. I’ll speak with Team Leader Song and call for a car. Shall we head to the school afterward?"

Jiangli nodded her head, and seeing Xia Xin turn to leave, she added, "You sit and eat too. Contact him while you eat. There’s no rush. What has happened has happened; fretting is of no use."

Xia Xin was taken aback by her words, realizing she was right.

So he calmed himself down, sat, unpacked the breakfast, served Jiangli, and contacted Song Taishan while eating.

Song Taishan was easy to talk to, it was within his authority, and he could do it, so he agreed right away.

Xia Xin also confirmed with Zhong Lanyi that they would go to the school in the morning and asked her not to worry.

Only then did they rest.

After hastily finishing everything, Xia Xin looked up and saw Jiangli eating carefully and without any hurry.

Xia Xin: "..."

His pace of eating involuntarily slowed down as well.

...

Jingli leisurely finished her meal, waiting until the first wave of pilgrims had left before she stood up, wiped the corner of her mouth, and said, "Let’s go."

Xia Xin, also finished, stood up and picked up his phone, "The car I called is almost here, Ancestor. We are heading to the school first, right?"

Jiangli nodded, and already started walking out.

Following her outside, they met Fu’er, who just returned from seeing off guests. After a greeting, Jiangli and Xia Xin left Jiaoyang Temple.

...

The school was now completely under martial law.

When Jiangli and Xia Xin arrived, the school was surrounded by police tape, with several people who looked like student family members pacing and crying outside.

There were also some who appeared to be school leaders, speaking earnestly and anxiously beside the family members, repeating soothing words over and over.

Jiangli and Xia Xin spotted Yun Xizi nearby.

Beside Yun Xizi stood a young girl, looking about the same age as Jiangli, wearing a white dress, tightly clutching a phone, lips pressed together, brows furrowed, eyeing the crowd with nervousness.

Soon enough, someone supported the family members as they left, presumably headed to the police station.

Seeing this, Xia Xin nudged Jiangli’s arm, "Ancestor, should we go over?"

Jiangli hummed an affirmation and took steps toward them.

Xia Xin followed, waved to Yun Xizi and called out, "Yun Xizi, we’ve arrived!"

Yun Xizi was talking to the young girl, but she looked up when she heard the shout.

Seeing Jiangli and Xia Xin approach, Yun Xizi and the young girl next to her whispered something.

The young girl’s face lit up with joy, as if blessed by a long-awaited rain.

Yun Xizi also waved at them, "Abbot, we have been looking forward to your arrival."
