Outside the glass window, it was known when it got crowded with people. At this moment, they were all pressed against the window, staring intently into the office.
There were strangers, a security guard, and a teacher.
The teacher was even holding a child of about three years old in her arms.
Except for the child being held, everyone else’s eyes widened, their faces showing a hint of shock and disbelief.
The back of the sofa faced the glass window, so the view from the window was blocked, and they couldn’t see the person pinned down by Teacher Xia on the sofa.
But they could clearly see Teacher Xia and his forceful actions.
Moreover, they arrived just in time to hear the words, “I’m not someone who likes to force others, but if Mr. Zhou doesn’t listen, I have no other choice.“
Obviously, something not quite harmonious was happening.
And it seemed to be a scene of coercion or forcing someone, perhaps a married person.
The people outside the glass window quickly realized this. They were all looking inside at Teacher Xia with a gaze, as if they were looking at a vile creature.
Their gaze was filled with condemnation.
The security guard, seeing Teacher Xia’s dark gaze, awkwardly glanced at the parents who came to inquire about the Xishan Kindergarten. Then he looked back at Teacher Xia and stammered.
“Um, Teacher Xia, these parents want to, want to know about our Xishan Kindergarten, so...”
“So?”
That’s why he brought them here directly.
After all, Teacher Xia was the principal of Xishan Kindergarten, and the whole Xishan Kindergarten was being supervised by him. Most of the reception duties like this were handled by him personally.
But the security guard really didn’t know that Teacher Xia was not in the best ‘condition’ right now!
And he didn’t expect that Teacher Xia, who was usually gentle and polite, would be this kind of person. The kindergarten teacher holding the child was also extremely embarrassed. Once she realizd the situation, she immediately covered the child’s eyes in her arms and quickly set the child down on the ground.
Because the child she’s holding was Yang Muqing, and the person being coerced was likely the child’s father.
The glass window was an ordinary-height window, not visible at the height of a child, but the kindergarten teacher still felt a wave of embarrassment.
The kindergarten teacher originally received a security guard’s notification that Yang Muqing’s father had arrived and was in Teacher Xia’s office, so she brought Yang Muqing over.
It just happened that on the way, they coincidentally encountered this group of parents who came to learn about the kindergarten situation, so they came together.
Who would have thought of encountering such a stimulating scene? Did Teacher Xia, who seemed so innocent on the surface, actually have such a dark side?
And it’s right in front of the child. Could this potentially cause some psychological shadow for him?
Teacher Xia, with an expressionless face, retracted his gaze, released the grip on Ruan Qing’s hand, and wordlessly stood up from Ruan Qing’s body.
The glass window didn’t provide much soundproofing, and the security guard’s voice wasn’t lowered, so Ruan Qing naturally heard it too.
After Teacher Xia stood up, Ruan Qing’s eyes turned red, a trace of panic and fear on his delicate face. He immediately stood up and retreated to the corner, assuming a defensive posture.
Afraid that Teacher Xia might do something to him again.
Only now did the people outside the window got a clear view of the person who was being coerced by Teacher Xia. They all froze in place.
The slender and handsome young man stood at the wall corner, trying hard to distance himself from Teacher Xia. However, because he couldn’t see, he didn’t know where to run. He could only helplessly huddle in the corner.
Through the glass window, everyone could clearly see the redness in the corners of the young man’s eyes due to fear. His hollow, lifeless gaze was moistened with tears, as if covered with a layer of mist, and his long eyelashes trembled like wings, adorned with tears.
As the mist-covered gaze of the young man turned in their direction, the ruby tassels at his ear swayed slightly, infused with a bone-deep elegance.
Moreover, the young man’s body was trembling slightly at this moment, emitting a pitiable and helpless aura, causing everyone’s hearts to skip a beat.
Everyone’s gaze involuntarily fell on the young man’s tear-stained eyes and the tear mole at the corner.
Apart from the security guard’s words, no one else spoke. The atmosphere seemed to freeze to some extent, and an eerie silence spread.
Only the barrage in the livestream chat of a player was rapidly flickering.
[Help! I was just thinking about how dangerous it is for him to go out alone. If he encounters any perverts, what should he do? Turns out he’s actually being forced. I knew someone would have some sinister thoughts when they saw him! Even if I’m not gay, I feel like I could be one for him!]
[Isn’t his husband too trusting? How can he let him go out like this? If I were his husband, I definitely wouldn’t let him go out. Otherwise, he’ll end up with a green head like the grasslands sooner or later!]
[Doesn’t his husband know how attractive his wife is? Is he the clueless ‘green hat hero’? Or maybe his husband simply enjoys the twisted idea of his wife being stolen by someone else?]
[I don’t know if he’s twisted or not, but I do know there’s something fishy about his husband. If I were a player, I’d totally mess things up!]
The one who came pretending to be parents was actually a group of players. They were somewhat surprised to see the person being oppressed was the young man they had encountered at the school gate. Nevertheless, they understood why he ended up in this situation.
Even if it was an ordinary NPC, let alone players like them who were on the edge of life and death, they struggled to remain composed.
But now they were in a bit of a predicament.
The excuse the players came up with was that they had just moved to the Xishan Residential Area and were planning to send their child here for school. That’s why they came to understand the situation first.
But they unexpectedly stumbled upon this scene, and no typical parent would consider sending their child here.
So, their excuse clearly wouldn’t work now.
Moreover, because they had been seen here, it wouldn’t be convenient to conduct a legitimate investigation next time.
Should they continue investigating with a brave face, or should they find another opportunity to sneak in?
Just as the players were hesitating, someone suddenly kicked open the door to the office.
It was the murderer and the neighbor who had rushed over immediately upon receiving a distress message from Ruan Qing.
When they heard their wife leaving, they couldn’t get away due to their ongoing fight, so they couldn’t follow him.
But who would have thought that not long after their wife left, they received a distress message from him?
They immediately put aside their fight and rushed to the Xishan Kindergarten.
After kicking open the door, the neighbor and the murderer glanced at the pitiful wife against the wall with a guarded and pitiable expression, then looked at the man standing expressionless by the sofa.
While they hadn’t witnessed the events leading up to this, just from the current situation, they could roughly guess what might have occurred.
The murderer’s gaze was fierce, and without hesitation, he threw a powerful punch towards Teacher Xia, showing no mercy.
Teacher Xia’s reaction was not slow; he swiftly sidestepped the blow.
Given that they were in public, the murderer used ordinary fighting techniques. Nonetheless, his physical strength was still evidently superior to that of an average person.
However, his confrontation with Teacher Xia seemed evenly matched.
The murderer’s gaze turned chillingly cold, and a nearly tangible sense of malice emanated from his eyes.
He abruptly halted his attack, curling his lips into a mocking smile. In a deliberate and taunting tone, he uttered, “Teacher, committing misdeeds will invite retribution. Be careful on your way home tonight.”
“Let’s hope nothing unfortunate happens.”
The murderer used their own voice; under the current circumstances, it was clear they couldn’t use Yang Tianhao’s voice.
The neighbor who didn’t attack Teacher Xia upon entering the office walked towards Ruan Qing, who seemed nervous, huddling in a corner of the room.
Upon sensing someone approach, Ruan Qing shrank back into the corner, a fierce glare aimed at the person before him.
However, his beautiful eyes were moist, covered in a mist that obscured his fierceness. Instead, he seemed to exude an air of deliberate allure, as if intentionally enticing someone.
“Are you alright?” The male neighbor, both anxious and concerned, spoke in his own voice.
Watching Ruan Qing, he continued, trying to reassure him, “I apologize for our late arrival. Your husband is a bit far away. Since we happened to be in the vicinity for business, he asked us to come over.”
Perhaps the mention of ‘husband’ brought some calm to Ruan Qing. A trace of hesitation appeared on his delicate face. Ultimately, he shook his head and whispered, “I’m fine. Thank you for your trouble.”
Ruan Qing’s voice was soft, with a slight quiver—whether due to nervousness or fear—its feather-light touch reached into people’s hearts, evoking profound sympathy.
The male neighbor lowered his gaze to the beautiful neighbor before him, who seemed to have suffered some mistreatment. Suppressing his emotions, he gently said, “As long as you’re okay.”
“Let us walk you back home.”
After a brief hesitation, Ruan Qing shook his head again, speaking softly, “I want to go pick up Xiao Mu first.”
After Ruan Qing had just finished speaking, a pair of small hands grabbed onto his hand. The crisp voice of a child rang out, “Daddy, I’m here.”
Ruan Qing’s body stiffened, a hint of panic flashed in his misty eyes, his voice tinged with nervousness and unease, “When did Xiao Mu arrive?”
Clearly, he was afraid that the scene just now had been seen by the child.
“What’s wrong, Daddy? Xiao Xi just arrived.” The child’s voice carried a sense of confusion.
The child was obviously lying, and everyone turned their gaze towards the child, but no one exposed the child’s lie.
Meanwhile, when the players heard the words ‘Xiao Xi’, their eyes narrowed slightly, firmly fixed on the child not far away.
‘Xiao Xi’? Wasn’t that the one mentioned in the mission quest?
He wasn’t dead yet?
This couldn’t be possible. If Xiao Xi hadn’t died yet, their mission quest wouldn’t be about finding out who had killed Xiao Xi.
What’s going on here? Did they just have similar names?
But the NPC just now clearly called the child Xiao Mu, right? Why would the child refer to himself as ‘Xiao Xi’? Does his name contain both the characters ‘Mu’ and ‘Xi’?
“It’s okay,” Ruan Qing seemed to breathe a sigh of relief after hearing Yang Muqing’s response.
He crouched down and hugged the child, softly asking, “I heard Xiao Mu hit someone? Can you tell Daddy why Xiao Mu hit the other kids?”
“Did the other kids bully our Xiao Mu?”
Yang Muqing shook his little head and spoke with innocence, “They didn’t bully Xiao Xi. Xiao Xi just found them annoying when he saw them.”
“I just didn’t want to play with them.”
“Yang Muqing!” Ruan Qing directly interrupted the child’s words, his voice involuntarily raising a few notches, anger evident on his delicate face.
“What you did was wrong, do you understand!? How could you hit other kids just because of this reason!?”
“Is this how I taught you? You’ve really disappointed Daddy.”
