On the way back at night, Yin Zhiyao was so tired that he fell asleep on Cheng Wan's shoulder. This also caused Qiao Zhengyang to drive all the way and complain.

When Yin Zhiyao woke up, it was already the next morning.

Cheng Wan and Qiao Zhengyang took the early flight back to Beicheng.

When I woke up, there were text messages on my phone from Cheng Wan and Qiao Zhengyang saying goodbye before boarding the plane.

Qiao Zhengyang: "I'm leaving. During my absence, you should calm down and don't let your imagination run wild again!"

She didn't reply to him and couldn't wait to open Cheng Wan's dialog box. He only sent her four words -

"Good times are like dreams."

Yin Zhiyao was lying on the bed, holding his mobile phone, and silently reciting the poems of "Magpie Bridge Immortal" in his mind: "Tenderness is like water, good times are like dreams, and I can't bear to look at the Magpie Bridge on the way home..."

For Yin Zhiyao's dreary senior year of high school, this trip was like a sweet midsummer night's dream, worth cherishing in his memory for a lifetime.

After the May Day holiday, Yin Zhiyao returned to school to continue classes, only to find that Xu Ruotong's place next to Yu Bai was empty.

Xu Ruotong rarely missed classes or asked for leave, which made Yin Zhiyao feel a little uneasy.

After class, she walked out of the classroom and came to the corridor to make a call to Xie Yuan.

However, before the phone was taken out, Miss Zhang, the head teacher, came over personally and called Yin Zhiyao to the office.

When Yin Zhiyao saw two uniformed police officers in the office, his heart skipped a beat, and a bad premonition came to mind.

Sure enough, Xu Ruotong disappeared.

Moreover, she disappeared together with her "boyfriend" Xie Yuan. According to what Xu Ruotong's parents said when they called the police, Xie Yuan should have abducted Xu Ruotong.

What's more, there is a possibility of .

Yin Zhiyao felt as if someone had poured a basin of cold water on him on a cold winter night. Every cell in his body was trembling from the inside out.

In front of the police, she took out her cell phone with trembling hands and dialed Xie Yuan. However, a cold female voice came from the system——

"Sorry, the user you dialed has turned off his phone."

In the office, Yin Zhiyao honestly cooperated with the police in taking notes and truthfully told everything he knew——

"I don't know how they met. That fight between me and Xu Ruotong in the office was probably the first time they met."

"They were in love. One time when I went home, I bumped into them accidentally in an alley. I was very surprised at the time. I also asked Brother Bian, but he refused to say anything."

"I...I didn't report it to the teacher. If I did, Xu Ruotong might be expelled." She glanced at Miss Zhang fearfully.

Miss Zhang touched her forehead. It was useless to blame her now that the matter had come to this point: "They have lost contact, and now the Xu family's parents are going crazy. Classmate Yin Zhiyao, think about it carefully. Your brother will take Xu Ruotong with him."

Where to go?”

Yin Zhiyao was so scared that cold sweat broke out on his back: "I can't think of it... I really can't think of it..."

A young police officer asked Yin Zhiyao: "Did your brother say anything to you before? Or did he do anything unusual?"

Yin Zhiyao picked at the corner of his clothes, thought for a long time, and suddenly said: "The last time I saw him, he gave me a card and said that all his savings..."

Thinking of this, Yin Zhiyao's scalp felt numb.

She never imagined that it was Xie Yuan who was saying goodbye to her that time.

But why did Xie Yuan take Xu Ruotong away? Was it because his parents found out and wanted to elope with her?

But how could he do such a childish thing?

Could it be that it was really a as the police said?

Just when Yin Zhiyao was puzzled, her father's former colleague, police officer Liu who was now investigating Xu Ruotong's disappearance, visited Yin Zhiyao that night, found Yin Zhiyao, and told her something that shocked her.

.

"At that time, the incident of sexual harassment of female students by the first teacher of the High School Affiliated to Nancheng caused a stir in Nancheng. Xie Tongxiang, the head teacher of the first grade of the High School Affiliated to Nancheng, was the main suspect, and the female student who accused him was none other than Xu Ruotong."

Yin Zhiyao was shocked.

She was still very young back then, but she still remembered this case, because it was her father who handled this case with extremely bad social impact.

She remembered how angry her father was at that time. He was so angry that he could not sleep in the middle of the night and wanted to beat the "beast" teacher.

Officer Liu continued: "Because he has a daughter at home, Officer Yin took the initiative to investigate this case and vowed to bring the murderer to justice. After we recorded the confessions of several female students, Xie Tongxiang couldn't stand the Internet

According to public opinion, he committed suicide by jumping off a building, leaving only a last note - to leave his innocence in the world."

"Xie Yuan was at home at that time."

Yin Zhiyao's heart trembled and he asked: "It has been so long, what is the truth of the matter? Brother Bian's father is really..."

Officer Liu shook his head and said: "Xu Ruotong and several girls in the class insisted that the head teacher Xie Tongxiang had touched them, and now they are dead. There is no evidence of death, and the suicide note cannot prove anything. Probably

Except for his biological son Xie Yuan, no one believes in his innocence."

After listening to what Officer Liu said, Yin Zhiyao finally understood why Xie Yuan and Xu Ruotong were together. They were not in love at all!

Xie Yuan felt that Xu Ruotong framed his father and indirectly caused his father's death.

Now that both of them are missing, it is not an elopement at all, but a and revenge!

Su Wenrui heard about this and said with fear: "I have long seen that that guy is not a good person, but I didn't expect that he would do such a thing. I really should have brought Yaoyao back two years ago, but I let Yaoyao and

We lived with that criminal for two years, it was terrible!"

Yin Zhiyao instinctively retorted: "Brother Bitch is not a murderer!"

"You've already committed the , but you're not the murderer?" Su Wenrui said to Officer Liu: "Speaking of which, that girl is really pitiful. She has left a psychological shadow at such a young age, and now she is kidnapped by that little wolf bastard.

, you must catch the murderer as soon as possible."

"No!" Yin Zhiyao said with a bit of irritating anger: "Brother Bian is a good person, and Brother Bian's father must be a good person too!"

Everyone has a protective mentality. Yin Zhiyao and Xie Yuan have lived together for such a long time, and she knows exactly what kind of person Xie Yuan is.

She didn't care whether Xie Yuan had wronged Xu Ruotong, but in her heart, Xie Yuan was the best brother.

Before leaving, Officer Liu said to Yin Zhiyao: "If he contacts you, please tell us as soon as possible. This is for his own good."

Yin Zhiyao nodded: "I will!"

Not long after Officer Liu left, someone started talking about it on the Internet.

At first, the news about Xu Ruotong and her boyfriend's disappearance came from the student forum of Nancheng No. 1 Middle School.

Soon, someone uncovered the sexual harassment case between teachers and students that shocked Nancheng, and discovered that Xu Ruotong was the main victim, and her boyfriend Xie Yuan happened to be the son of the teacher who committed suicide.

This gossip post was quickly reposted by marketing accounts, and there was a lot of abuse on Xie Yuan on the Internet. Even Xie Tongxiang, who had committed suicide for many years, was pulled out and "whipped".

The first reaction of passers-by after hearing the cause and effect of this incident was actually the same as Su Wenrui's, extremely angry——

"Like father, like son!"

"How come this beast isn't dead yet?"

"I feel sorry for that girl, it's really a lifelong shadow."

"Old beast and little beast! I will burn incense for you tonight and wish you to meet again soon."

...

Yin Zhiyao quickly threw away his phone, not daring to read those malicious comments again.

She kept calling Xie Yuan all night, but the phone was always turned off. The last call until the early morning was unexpectedly dialed.

Yin Zhiyao was originally very tired, but when he heard the long beep coming from the receiver, he suddenly woke up.

After the phone rang for more than ten seconds, it was finally picked up.

"Brother Bitch! Is it you! Where are you now! Is Xu Ruotong by your side?!"

After Yin Zhiyao asked a series of anxious questions, the other end of the phone was silent for a long time before Xie Yuan finally spoke and said, "The police are looking for you?"

His voice was hoarse and heavy, unlike the voice he usually used when joking with her.

"Where are you? Just calm down and don't do anything you regret."

"Regret?" Xie Yuan sneered: "There are some things that you will regret only if you don't do them."

"Brother! Please!" Yin Zhiyao said with a cry of despair in his voice: "What will I do if something happens to you? Are you going to abandon me?"

"You have your own family. To put it bluntly, I am your brother."

"But you are also my family!"

Xie Yuan's sneer came from the other end of the phone: "At the beginning, if it weren't for your father's stupidity, my father would not have jumped from the building."

Yin Zhiyao suddenly became speechless.

"My dad is such a good teacher. He treats every student better than me. If Yin Jinze is willing to investigate more carefully instead of accusing my dad of being a beast with personal emotions, if any of them is willing to believe me

Dad, he won’t leave at all!”

Yin Jinze is Yin Zhiyao's father, and he also handled the case of Xie Yuan's father.

"My dad just did what a police officer should do..."

"You don't know, then I will tell you the truth of the matter today." Xie Yuan said in a deep voice: "Why did your father adopt me? Because he ruined my family and had a bad conscience. Later he saw my father's
