Chapter 72: Someone’s Lying

“Zhang Yi, what’s wrong?”

Zhou Hao hurried forward and asked Zhang Yi, whose eyes were bloodshot as he held a cake in one hand.

Zhang Yi endured his broken heart and gritted his teeth. “My, my sister, she, she’s gone!”

“She’s gone?” Zhou Hao was stunned.

The other students were also puzzled.

Xu Ling walked over and consoled, “Zhang Yi, don’t worry. Maybe your sister is still in school or went somewhere else?”

Zhang Yi shook his head forcefully. “No, not at all. My sister doesn’t have any friends. Other than school, she usually stays at home. I’ve looked everywhere.”

“Then did you tell your sister that we will be having a birthday celebration at De Ran Residence today?” Xu Ling asked again.

“No, I wanted to give my sister a surprise, so I didn’t tell her. However, I told her to wait for me at school this afternoon.”

“My sister is very obedient, but I went to school and did not see her. When I returned home, I couldn’t find her either!” Zhang Yi said anxiously.

Yuan Cheng, Yun Yan, and the other geniuses walked over. Among them, Yun Yan asked calmly, “Zhang Yi, do you think something happened to your sister? Otherwise, even if you couldn’t find her, you probably wouldn’t have reacted this way, right?”

As soon as he said this, the students, including Zhou Hao and Xu Ling, reacted.

Indeed.

Zhang Yi was usually a calm person and rarely showed his emotions. He wouldn’t have reacted like this for no reason.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Many students looked at Zhang Yi.

Zhang Yi immediately cried. “Yes, I think something happened to her. I was worried about it happening before, but I didn’t expect it to happen again!”

Zhou Hao asked in a deep voice, “Zhang Yi, calm down. What happened? There are so many of us here. We will definitely be able to help you find your sister.”

“Yes, yes, Zhang Yi, don’t worry.”

“Yeah, there are so many of us.”

“We’re all classmates, so we can resolve anything together!”

Many students consoled him.

Zhang Yi tried to stop his tears from falling down but failed. “It’s all because of me. I’m the one responsible for this. Some time ago, I brought my sister to buy Blood Essence Pills. On the way, I bumped into someone. He said that my sister’s foundation was good and wanted to bring her to a place to train. However, I refused!”

“After that, that person kept asking about my sister’s situation in various ways. He even went to our house. I sensed that something was wrong at that time, but because I wanted to save money, I still held onto the hope that he would stop coming and did not move out!”

Yun Yan immediately said, “Are you saying that person took your younger sister away?”

“That’s right. If not for him, my sister wouldn’t have disappeared for no reason!” Zhang Yi gritted his teeth.

“Do you still remember that person’s appearance? Do you know anything else about him?” Yun Yan asked.

Zhang Yi cried and shook his head. “I don’t know anything about him. It’s all my fault. I was too careless!”

Zhou Hao said, “Zhang Yi, was your sister still in school this morning?”

“Yes.”

“In other words, she was taken away at noon. Did you ask any of her classmates?”

“I did. They said that my sister went to the washroom and they haven’t seen her since!”

After Xu Ling heard this, she immediately said, “Zhang Yi, let’s all go to your sister’s school and check again.”

The other students nodded.

Zhang Yi regained his senses and hurriedly led Xu Ling and the others to his sister’s school.

When they arrived at Zhang Ying’s school, Xu Ling called her father and informed some teachers. Under the school’s cooperation, she questioned the students in each class a second time.

However, the answers they received were almost identical to what Zhang Ying’s classmates told Zhang Yi..

After that, they searched the entire school again, but they still could not find any traces of Zhang Ying.

“Some of the students in Zhang Ying’s class must be lying!” Just as the group was at a loss, Yun Yan suddenly said calmly.

Zhou Hao, Xu Ling, and the others looked at Yun Yan.

Yun Yan slowly analyzed, “It’s very simple. When we checked the school’s washrooms and classrooms just now, I noticed that the washroom was not far away from Zhang Ying’s class. If Zhang Ying was really taken away from the bathroom, it’s impossible for no one to have seen her.”

Yuan Cheng shook his head lightly. “Not necessarily. If it was a master-level expert, the students in Zhang Ying’s class wouldn’t have been able to notice.”

Yun Yan smiled and said, “Zhang Yi said earlier that the person has been making inquiries and has even been to their place. If the other party is strong, there’s no need for him to do this.”

The other students immediately felt that it made sense.

Zhou Hao looked at Yun Yan. “Does that mean you know who’s lying?”
