CHAPTER 399: CHAPTER 206: LIN BEICHEN’S FURY

"Why hasn’t Zhou Ya returned yet!"

In the classroom of Imperial Capital Normal University, Zhou Ya’s close friend looked at Zhou Ya’s empty seat and couldn’t help but worry.

Logically, Zhou Ya should have returned from Imperial Capital University by now, but even when the teacher walked in, Zhou Ya was still nowhere to be seen.

"Is Zhou Ya late?"

A slightly balding teacher with glasses walked in and looked at Zhou Ya’s seat. As Zhou Ya’s class representative, Zhou Ya had always been diligent and responsible. The teacher was not used to not seeing her.

"I don’t think she’s just late..."

The girl stood up and approached the teacher, briefly explaining the situation.

"So you’re worried something might have happened on the way."

The teacher frowned, instantly grasping the concern in the girl’s words.

While they weren’t worried about Zhou Ya doing something out of character—after all, her integrity was well-recognized by professors and students alike at Imperial Capital University.

"Fortunately, her classmate is quite well-known. I’ll contact Imperial Capital University right away."

The teacher asked the students to start studying on their own before heading to the department head’s office. After explaining the situation, the department head immediately called a friend at Imperial Capital University.

After explaining the matter, the teacher at Imperial Capital University got Lin Beichen’s contact information from Professor Lin Beichen.

"So, Professor, are you saying Zhou Ya hasn’t returned to school yet?"

Lin Beichen’s expression darkened as he understood why the teacher had called. An uneasy feeling surfaced in his heart, and the teacher on the other end also heard the doubt in Lin Beichen’s voice, indicating that the two of them had already split up.

"What on earth happened?"

The teacher on the other end was also anxious. Although Zhou Ya’s grades weren’t as spectacular as Lin Beichen’s, her steady and rapid improvement made the term "hidden potential" very apt for her.

Thus, Zhou Ya wasn’t the top student at Imperial Capital University, but she was definitely one of the most diligent and rapidly rising students.

"This matter..."

"Professor, I hope you let me handle this. It’d be best to inform Imperial Capital Normal University to keep their hands off Zhou Ya’s case."

Even over the phone, the teacher could hear the unwavering determination in Lin Beichen’s voice.

After hanging up, the professor still couldn’t figure out why he decided to follow Lin Beichen’s suggestion, but his mind was already made up.

"What’s wrong? You look so serious."

Lin Beichen’s roommates noticed the change in his demeanor and put away their usual playful attitudes, showing a hint of concern.

"Nothing much."

As he spoke, Lin Beichen started to walk out, but he stopped at the door. He turned back, his face unusually serious, and addressed his roommates.

"For the next few days, stick together wherever you go. Don’t go out casually; stay in the dorm except for classes."

Without giving them a chance to respond, Lin Beichen immediately opened the door to Gale and the others’ dorm. His roommates exchanged confused glances, each showing bewilderment.

Meanwhile, Gale and the others stood up as Lin Beichen walked in.

Lin Beichen didn’t speak, but they could read from his eyes that something serious had happened. At the very least, Lin Beichen’s current demeanor could only be described with four words—very unhappy!

"Find out the whereabouts of the girl in this photo immediately. She’s a classmate from my hometown and disappeared after we parted ways."

Though Lin Beichen spoke calmly, Gale and the others knew well that the calmer he appeared, the angrier he was. But what would an enraged Lin Beichen do? No one could tell.

"I think it’s best to contact the director about this..."

Lei Ming had just finished speaking when he felt a cold aura directed at him. He instinctively looked at Lin Beichen and saw the other’s cold gaze, as if it could kill at any moment.

"I mean the Security Bureau has special network access and systems. They’re the best for this!"

Worried that Lin Beichen might misunderstand, Lei Ming quickly explained.

Even facing certain death, he hadn’t felt any fear, but explaining to Lin Beichen now, he felt a tremble in his voice.

"Understood. Get ready to act. First, detain these two people for me!"

Among their group, Lin Beichen shared two photos in their chat—those of Dongchuan Ichiro and Brooklyn.

Though there was no concrete evidence, Lin Beichen had a strong suspicion that the two were involved, especially Brooklyn.

"But Dongchuan Ichiro was with me all day..."

Lin Beichen wandered aimlessly around the school before finally sitting on a bench in the nearby park.
