Chapter 21 (1/2)

Mama Jiao seemed better today, at least her spirits were up

However, after hearing last night's events, she was deter all he could to stop her There was no point in keeping last night a secret Even if Auntie Ling didn't tell her about it all, last night caused so much of a commotion that the faculty and family in the hospital would have heard about it

Jiao Yuan and Gu Youzi reyang did ht's story

”Since the previous thefts, residents on the first and second floor had been taking precautions Us living on the higher floors felt safer, but now it seeet people living on higher floors specifically because they feel less at risk”

”Apparently, they saw the bulletin board in the bio building and learnt that Brother Jiao just received ahad happened and there were only going to be children at hoeted your family”

”It was not as if we could have used the rant It's meant for research” Ma

”They didn't think so Lots of people get rich off pocketing research ed

He suddenly re and his eyes lit up : ”I heard that several 'veterans' were at the scene of the interrogation last night and were able to get quite some information out of the thieves The police didn't find any leads last laries because so aith it that easily”

”The behind the scenes culprit who planned the thefts was so A His family is quite connected Apparently, his uncle is the vice president of the school, specifically, the one that oversees admissions”

Qu Xiangyang loved gossiping about people high up in the school He was not at all worried they would give hiraduated anyways

”Usually we iven his connections and everything But this time, he hit a nerve, and we couldn't just pretend we didn't know anything Several rants That information is on bulletin boards all around the school No one would feel safe again if thieves were co to their doors just because of that”

”One of the uessing, after he settles the probleize to you folks”

Zheng Tan sat on Ma to the from ho to the eye The nurse had just changed Maot here, so she wouldn't be back any time soon

Listening to Qu Xiangyang talk about the culprit, Zheng Tan nodded silently If the thieves weren't connected to the school soet a hold of the access card? He wondered what the school would do to prevent sie the security access card, he would need Papa Jiao to get him a new one

”Hey brother Jiao, I heard that the thief didn't even get inside your house before he was scratched on the face by your cat The guy thought someone was home and ran like his life depended on it He didn't even stop for his partner”

”He was probably running too fast and not paying attention to the road He tripped and hit his head on the ceot bitten by that bull terrier Mr Yan got Apparently, the dog was able to rip off a piece of flesh Now it's a hero in the quarters, you should've seen it…”

Papa Jiao watched Zheng Tan as he listened to Qu recount the events The cat had his eyes closed, pretending to be asleep 'Not bad' He thought 'It's a good thing he didn't feel the need to be in the spotlight'

As they talked and laughed, the athtened It was the happiest they had been since Maot into the accident

Qu Xiangyang offered to watch over the kids for a few days, but Papa Jiao declined politely

After Qu left, Ma

”I aood hands That boy Qu puts too et Jiao Yuan to start playing”

Zheng Tan agreed it was possible Besides, the guy disregarded everything when he started to play co Tan watch the kids, than to expect Qu to be a good guardian

In contrast, Wei Ling was a much more dependable person All he needed to do was coht He would still have all the free ti

Zheng Tan wondered how his case was going He had been on it for a while, yet the case was still unsolved

As he was thinking about criations, a knock came from the door

Jiao Yuan and Gu Youzi hurriedly put Zheng Tan back into the backpack They tried to look nonchalant, but came off as way too serious, which made Mama Jiao smile

The visitor was Zhuo She heard about what happened in the residential quarters and came to wish them well

Papa Jiao quickly stood up to give her his seat Because of the relationshi+p for him better when he went over to borrow equipment She didn't s murder either So there was improvement

Seeing it was Zhuo, Zheng Tan got back out It wasin a bag

”Hey, Charcoal Did you sneak in?”

Zhuo wasn't surprised to see Zheng Tan here She gave hiht pat on the head

The cat provided a common topic for Mama Jiao and their visitor
