Chapter 23

The things Ren Suya said before, she didn't think too much about at first, but the last sentence made her have to think deeply.

"Ranran." Ren Suya suddenly shouted, and the words that were about to come out got stuck when she looked into her daughter's clear eyes.

After pausing for two seconds, Ren Suya stood up, "Don't stay up too late, pay attention to rest."

"Okay."

The door closed, Ren Ran turned her head to look at the tightly closed door.

Mom, the pain of a broken dream, but ultimately has to be accepted.

She understood her mother's mood, because in her previous life she had gone through the same experience.

Ren Suya went downstairs and looked out the door. Her husband hadn't come back yet.

"Madam, nothing's the matter, I'll go to rest first."

"Aunt Li, where's Pete Qiao?"

"I don't know. Yesterday, Mr. Pete Qiao was called away by the master's phone call."

"Should I call him?"

"No need. You go rest."

"Okay. Madam, you rest early too."

In the huge villa, only one light was on, and under the dim light, the person sitting on the sofa became blurred.

Kong Liji returned home, and had just walked into the living room, almost scared to death, looking in surprise at the person sitting upright on the sofa.

"Wife, why are you sitting here?"

He walked over and very naturally went to put his arm around her waist, but was avoided by the person opposite.

Sensing her abnormality, Kong Liji asked with concern, "Wife, what's wrong? Did something happen?"

Ren Suya looked at Kong Liji, just looking at him quietly, her eyes made Kong Liji inexplicably uneasy.

Just as the atmosphere between the two was about to reach a breaking point, Ren Suya finally spoke, "You've been coming home later and later."

Kong Liji breathed a sigh of relief, also got irritated over such a trivial matter.

He took her hand, "Wife, next time I'll try my best to keep my secretary from scheduling too full, and leave more time to be with you and our daughter."

After speaking, he leaned down and kissed her forehead.

Ren Suya went upstairs.

Kong Liji sighed helplessly, and followed upstairs.

Tonight would be a sleepless night.

Tomorrow he would have to let Feng Ru give him a good supplement.

'Ding ling ling'...

High school didn't have P.E. classes, but today the class teacher, in order to relieve their tense mood, specially didn't let the P.E. teacher 'get sick'.

On the sports field, the P.E. teacher was equally thoughtful, directly organizing the male students to play basketball, the female students to play volleyball, or free activities.

The students who had been burying their heads in studying all cheered in excitement when they heard the P.E. teacher's wise arrangement.

Zhao Yi pulled Ren Ran to play badminton, "You can study anytime, it's rare to relax, you can't miss this opportunity."

Happy times are always short. As soon as the bell rang, everyone returned to the tense study atmosphere.

The students who returned to the classroom still hadn't recovered from the freedom of the last class, chatting about things unrelated to learning with great interest.

"Ah!"

A scream broke the lively and noisy happy atmosphere.

Everyone's eyes fell on class logistics member Tan Jia in unison.

"What's the matter?"

Tan Jia looked anxious, "The money in my bag is gone, there was over 2,000 yuan in class fees."

"Call the class teacher to check the surveillance video."

Class monitor Mao Zhen reacted very quickly, making a judgment at the first moment.

Ren Ran looked at Kong Lian subconsciously, and seeing her barely contained excitement in her eyes, she made a judgment in her heart.

Teacher Zhao heard that the class fees had been stolen, and hurried over.

"Teacher Zhao, before the P.E. class, the money was still there. After the P.E. class, when we came back, I found the money was gone. The money must have been stolen during this time period." Tan Jia said anxiously, with tears welling up in her eyes.

"Don't panic." Teacher Zhao called security to check the surveillance video.

The security office quickly gave an answer that the surveillance had been broken yesterday and they hadn't had time to fix it yet. The security office was going to fix it over the weekend when school was not in session.

Now it would be very difficult to find out what happened.

Kong Lian asked, "Were there any outsiders who entered the school today?"

"No."

Tan Jia said, "Then it must have been someone from the school. During class, most students were in class. Someone who was familiar, knew I had money here, and had time, it must have been someone familiar."

As soon as she said this, there were whispers in the classroom.

"No way!"

"That means there's a thief among us?"

"Tan Jia's analysis makes sense. It's impossible that a teacher specifically came to steal it, right?"

"That's not impossible either."

"I think there's more of a problem within our class."

"We had P.E. class last period, it was free activity. We can basically use the process of elimination."

"Yes, yes, yes."

"Why make it so complicated, just search everyone, won't that settle it?"

Everyone discussed.

"Teacher Zhao, why don't we just search and see. You can start with me." Mao Zhen said.

"I agree."

"I also agree."

"The sooner we get to the bottom of this the better, I agree."

"My conscience is clear, I also agree."

Voices of agreement followed one after another.

Even if someone was unwilling at this time, they didn't dare pour cold water on it at this moment, because it would make them seem very suspicious.

Seeing most of the students had this idea, Teacher Zhao asked as usual, "Is anyone opposed? If someone opposes, we'll find another way. If so, raise your hand."

The classroom was silent, no one spoke up.

"Since no one objects, then let's investigate."

Teacher Zhao, Tan Jia and Mao Zhen checked everyone's bags and desks in order.

Ren Ran was seated by the window, the check started from the aisle side, so her row would be checked last.

Ren Ran stood with her hands in her pockets, waiting for what would happen next, totally calm.

"What's this?"

Guo Tongwen looked at the few dozen 100 yuan bills that appeared in her purse, and was dumbfounded.

"Guo Tongwen, is this money yours?" Teacher Zhao asked.

"It's not hers." The one who answered wasn't Guo Tongwen, but Tan Jia.

She pointed at the red bills, "I marked these bills.

She took the red bills from Teacher Zhao's hand and said, "For each person's class fees they gave me, I would write that person's name on the back of 100 yuan bills, to prevent receiving counterfeit bills."

A few students around looked closer, and names were indeed written in pencil on the back of the 100 yuan bills.

"It really is!"

"Oh my god, I didn't expect Guo Tongwen to be this kind of person."

"Her grades are good, didn't think her character was so bad."

Guo Tongwen was so anxious her eyes turned red, there were tears in her eyes, "It wasn't me, it wasn't me. I don't know how the money got in my bag either."

Someone mocked, "If it wasn't you then who could it be?"

"Right! The money was found in your bag."

Ren Ran watched this scene a bit dumbfounded.

She thought it was directed at her, she didn't expect it to be directed at Guo Tongwen instead.

This dramatic twist was unexpected.
