Chapter 194 Reversal

"We..." Ding Yong and his wife looked at each other and saw a hint of hesitation in each other's eyes. It was obvious that they still had many concerns and worries about going to find the Purple-Robed Envoy.

However, after a brief thought, he made up his mind, "Okay, we will follow the arrangements of our boss."

However, just as Chu Ci opened the door, he heard faintly: "Mr. Sun... Niu Niu was found,... Mr. Sun,... Mr. Sun, Principal Chu, Niu Niu was found, Principal Chu——"

Chu Ci made a prompt decision: "Go to the door, no, go to the backyard."

But then Chu Ci changed his mind and realized that if he took Ding Yong and Sun Fu with him, the speed would definitely be too slow, which might waste a lot of time.

So she hurriedly said, "Fifteen, take someone out to check immediately to see if there is anyone in the outer courtyard. Act quickly and don't delay for even a second."

"Yes." Fifteen responded immediately. Although his hearing was not as sensitive as Chu Ci's and he could not hear all the sounds as clearly as Chu Ci, he could still hear some movements more or less.

At this time, only Ding Yong and his wife looked confused. They had no idea what was happening outside. They were completely kept in the dark and didn't know what was going on. They could only look at Chu Ci with confusion. "Boss?"

"Wait a moment, maybe there will be good news." Chu Ci didn't know the specific situation and didn't say anything absolutely.

Ding Yong and Sun Fu looked at each other. They had no idea what kind of news could be considered good news at this time.

They could only endure the irritation that was gradually rising in their hearts and nodded helplessly.

Fortunately, Fifteen's pace was very fast. In just a few minutes, his agile figure appeared in everyone's sight again.

But who is the person in his arms?

"Niuniu, Niuniu--" An Niang was the first to recognize her daughter, and then she rushed towards the direction of Fifteen like an arrow.

Compared to the moment when An Niang saw her daughter, her heart and eyes were filled with only her daughter, Ding Yong's doubts became more serious.

He immediately turned to look at Chu Ci and said, "Boss, this?"

Chu Ci did not respond.

Fifteen took over the conversation and said, "Niuniu was brought here by Zhang Shulan from the Women's College. I have asked someone to bring her in. We have to wait for Zhang Shulan to come and ask for details."

"Zhang Shulan?" When Ding Yong heard the name, his voice involuntarily rose a few notches, full of astonishment.

This exclamation also made Sun Fu, who was originally completely focused on her daughter, regain her sanity in an instant.

Sun Fu hurriedly pulled Niu Niu out of her arms gently but firmly and asked her to stand up.

Then he asked solemnly: "Niuniu, please tell me in detail, what is the matter with the note in your room? Why is it with your mother's student? What happened in between?"

"I...Mom, I'm sorry." Niu Niu has always been a well-behaved, sensible and perceptive child. She could easily see the deep worry that her parents were carrying in their hearts at this moment.

However, she did not regret what she had done in her heart.

If it were in the past, if Niu Niu apologized so obediently, everyone present would have been moved by her.

But at this moment, the situation was completely different. Sun Fu frowned tightly, with anxiety and severity in her eyes, and asked, "Tell me, what's going on?"

She was so eager to know the truth that her tone became urgent and serious.

"I..." Niu Niu looked at Sun Fu cautiously first, her eyes full of nervousness and anxiety, then looked at Ding Yong, and then shifted her gaze to Chu Ci.

She saw that the three of them all had solemn looks on their faces. That serious expression seemed to hang over her heart like a dark cloud. At this moment, she finally realized the seriousness of the matter, and a trace of fear rose in her heart.

Her little hands were tightly clutching the corner of her clothes, her lips were trembling slightly, she seemed to want to say something but didn't know where to start. Her look made people feel pity for her.

But even so, Chu Ci and the other two remained serious and unmoved.

Seeing this, Niu Niu became more and more panicked.

Finally, he began to stammer and tell the whole story: "Niuniu... it was... because he wanted to help Sister Changqing."

"Sister Changqing is so pitiful. She has been working hard to support the whole family, but she is always beaten by her husband and looked down upon by her step-son and step-daughter."

"Niuniu couldn't bear to see Sister Changqing in such pain, so she wanted to help her escape from that hellish predicament."

As soon as Niu Niu finished speaking, Ding Yong became furious and raised his hand to teach Niu Niu a lesson.

But Chu Ci reached out his hand in time to stop her, and then asked softly: "Changqing? Niuniu, when and where did you meet this sister Changqing?"

"Yes, it's at the 'pre-marriage training' place. Sister Changqing has been there several times, but every time she reached the door, she didn't dare to go in."

Because of Chu Ci's gentle attitude, Niu Niu's originally nervous and fearful mood gradually eased, she became less restrained, and spoke more and more fluently.

"Niuniu, have you ever asked your sister Changqing why she lingered around the 'pre-marital training' many times but didn't go in?" Chu Ci asked again.

This time, Niu Niu did not give Chu Ci an answer, but just shook her head to indicate that she didn't know.

Just when Chu Ci and the others thought the clue was about to be lost.

Zhang Shulan walked in slowly, led by the maid in the mansion.

As soon as Zhang Shulan came in, she said, "Shanzhang, let me talk about this matter."

Ci did not agree immediately, but asked with a serious expression and a scrutinizing look in his eyes: "Zhang Shulan, can you tell me your identity first?"

However, before Zhang Shulan could speak, Sun Fu spoke first: "Zhang Shulan is a disciple I am very optimistic about. As for other aspects..."

Even though Sun Fu did not express it explicitly, Chu Ci understood the unfinished meaning in her words.

Zhang Shulan was not angry at being treated like this.

Instead, he calmly bowed respectfully, and then slowly said, "Principal Chu, Mr. Sun. Shulan is just an ordinary student of the Future Women's College."

"If you must mention something else, then Liu Changqing is the student's cousin. Apart from this, there is nothing else."

However, the more calm Zhang Shulan acted, the more alert Chu Ci became.

However, Chu Ci simply hid this vigilance deep in his heart and did not show it at all on the surface.

Still with a calm expression, he said, "Can you tell me how you met Niuniu, and how you found this place so accurately?"
