Looking at Lanlan's innocent smile, my heart skipped a beat. Although it had only been two days since I found out that something had happened to her, I had been hoping for this smile for a moment. When it suddenly appeared, I suddenly felt as if half a century had passed.

"Lanlan", my heart suddenly warmed, and I gently shouted out.

But, it was also at this time that Lanlan's face changed and she started to struggle violently. From between the crack of the door, she said with a sobbing tone of voice, "I'm not going back, just let me play for a while!"

Her movements caused the doctors and nurses to be busy again. Less than a minute later, Lanlan's beautiful face turned pale and she slowly fell down again, like a kite with its string cut. My heart skipped a beat and I slowly sank to the bottom.

The current me didn't even have the mood to ask the doctor what was going on. Sitting alone in a corner, I had just closed my eyes when I saw Lanlan's short-lived smile.

"Big brother, what's wrong?" A young and tender child's voice sounds out. I lower my head to take a look, and I don't know when the little girl with the pigtails came again. She looks at me innocently as she asked.

I sighed lightly. Although I really wanted to pour out my heart, when facing this young girl who was only a few years old, I couldn't say anything for a while. I could only bitterly smile and say, "Big brother is fine, I'm just a little tired."

I slowly closed my eyes. As soon as I lay down, I thought about the little girl and asked, "Did you find your grandmother?"

"I found it. Grandmother won't let me play any longer. I need to go back." When the little girl heard this, her mouth immediately curled up, and she seemed very wronged.

When I saw this, I was amused. I gently stroked her ponytail and said, "Be good and listen to grandma. At that time, grandma will bring you out to play again."

The little girl resentfully said "oh" and then slowly walked out of the corridor.

After I thought about it, I wanted to give Uncle Chen a call, but I was afraid that my disciple would make him sad.

But if it was because I had a dream every day, I actually had a dream.

I dreamt that Lanlan's face was covered in tears as she looked at me.

When I saw that, I panicked and hurriedly got up to save her. However, I saw that she couldn't stop her body from retreating, as though she was being dragged around by someone. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't catch up with her.

"Lanlan!" I cried out in alarm as I woke up. Turning my head to the side, I saw that there was someone seated beside me, it was President Liu.

There was a worried look on his face as he silently sat there with his brows locked together into the shape of a "Chuan". From time to time, he would even let out a soft sigh, appearing extremely gloomy.

When I thought about how there was someone by my side while I was dreaming, I couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. I awkwardly smiled and said, "President Liu, it's you."

The President Liu nodded lightly. Looking at me, he squeezed out a smile and asked softly, "Have you had a nightmare?"

My old face reddened, but I still nodded. "That's right, it's because of Lanlan."

President Liu did not make a sound, he kept his head lowered, thinking about something, but I have a feeling that since he is here, he must have something to say.

Thus, I didn't say anything and quietly waited for him to speak.

The President Liu changed his posture a few times, then stood up and walked a few rounds, and finally said to me in a low voice: "I'm afraid that this matter with Chen Lanlan is not too optimistic."

I started, wondering how he could have said it so suddenly. What did it mean?

Seeing that I was looking at him suspiciously, President Liu shook his head and said, "A situation like that with Chen Lanlan, it's not just him anymore."

I knew about this matter from the beginning, so I was not surprised, but seeing how President Liu was hesitating, I must have not finished, so I did not interrupt and still waited for him to speak.

"You know about it?" President Liu, what a shrewd person, immediately reacted when he saw me sitting beside him without saying a word. He even asked me this question in surprise.

I nodded my head and whispered, "I already knew about it during the day. I even went to visit the school."

"Did you find anything?" When the President Liu heard this, he showed an expression of interest and sat upright before he asked me.

I shook my head. I didn't plan to tell him about the chicken, I only told him that I felt that the problem was with Lanlan's dorm, but unfortunately, I couldn't enter.

The President Liu sighed and turned to look at me, "Actually, as an educator, there are many scruples in your way of doing things and speaking. The matter regarding Chen Lanlan has already been spread around the entire school, and there are all sorts of rumors going around.

I looked at him and didn't reply. I felt a bit weird.

On the contrary, he suddenly turned his face and looked straight at me, asking, "Aren't you curious about these rumors?"

"Rumors are just rumors. What's there to be curious about? If the mouth is the body of a person, who would be able to control it?" After I heard this, I sighed. I really felt helpless and didn't have the mood to chat about these unrelated matters with him.

When President Liu saw me like this, he was momentarily stunned. Then, he smiled and said, "That's true."

After saying that, he suddenly stood up and walked towards the window. He then took out his cell phone from his pocket as if he was about to make a call.

I glanced at him, then narrowed my eyes and lay back again.

However, right at that moment, my phone rang. I took it out and saw that it was an unfamiliar number.

"Hello, may I ask if you are Master Ma?" The moment the call connected, the other party directly asked.

At the same time, the voice of the President Liu who wasn't too far away from me could be heard. It sounded exactly the same as on the phone.

"Fuck, what's going on?" I was immediately shocked. The hand holding the phone froze in midair and I softly called out, "President Liu?"

The moment I finished speaking, President Liu, who was standing by the window, paused for a long while before turning around. At the same time, his voice came over the phone: "It's you?"

I nodded my head. Needless to say, the phone call that President Liu made was to me.

But how did he know my number? And how did he know who I am, a "Master Ma"?

I sat there blankly. After seeing President Liu walk over in embarrassment and surprise, I coughed lightly and took out a piece of paper from my pocket. After opening it, I saw that there was a string of numbers written on it.

I silently nodded my head. There were a myriad of questions in my mind, but I didn't know how to open my mouth.

"Sigh, since it's you, then we can do it." President Liu stayed silent for a long time, and finally let out a long sigh.

"Yes, it's my sister's business." I shook my head with a wry smile. Since he called me 'Master', he must have suspected something supernatural.

However, although I have stayed in this hospital for two days, I have never brought this matter to any other aspects. I simply thought that Lanlan had contracted some sort of difficult disease.

"Alright, I'll be direct. I hope you can help me settle this issue." After everyone had made their identities clear, the President Liu was much more relaxed and spoke straightforwardly.

I smiled wryly as I lowered my head. How could I not want to settle this matter? It was just that I was completely at a loss on what to do. Even if I wanted to, I didn't know where to start.

"Fifty thousand. If you settle this matter, I'll personally give you fifty thousand. What do you think?" Seeing that I did not make a sound, President Liu suddenly stretched out his hand, opened up his five fingers and said wealthily.

Honestly speaking, if this had happened to someone else, I would definitely be happy to treat it as a business deal. But if this had happened to Lanlan, how could I have the right to talk about money.

However, I suddenly thought of something. If I had President Liu help with this matter, at least I should be able to go to Lanlan's dorm and check out the situation.

Thus, I turned to President Liu and said, "I can help, but you have to provide me with the necessary help."

"No problem." President Liu answered happily, then continued to laugh: "You are much younger than I imagined."

I smiled. I didn't want to talk about it, so I asked, "Where did you get my number?"

"It was a friend who introduced you, saying that you are allowed to go," President Liu laughed. From the looks of it, he did not want to reveal the person behind him.

Seeing that he had the appearance of an old cunning fox, I thought that since he has such conditions now, then the most urgent matter at hand would be to go to Lanlan's dorm and take a look.

Thinking about it here, I immediately said to the President Liu: "I want to go to Lanlan's dorm now and have a look."

Unexpectedly, President Liu shook his head and said, "No, we can't do it at this time."

As soon as he opened his mouth, I realized that it wasn't too early. It was really not convenient for the girls to go to bed, so I smiled awkwardly and said, "If we want to find out, we'll have to start from the dorm. Maybe we'll find something."

After President Liu heard this, he nodded his head and sighed: "I will immediately arrange it, but, I'm afraid it will have to be daytime tomorrow at the earliest."

I nodded my understanding.

However, just at this time, President Liu's phone rang again. Right after he picked it up, his face immediately changed and he said to me, "If you want to enter the dorm, you can. But you have to go now."

I was stunned. Without any hesitation, I nodded and followed him to the elevator.
