Chapter 295: The Missing Case
Children from Military Academy A High School has been missing?
Nan Hua’s eyes deepened when she heard that.
Naturally, there were several children who were missing and Nan Hua was very clear about who they were. Some of them had been taken by the military but some others should have been missing when there was commotion that night.
But even if Nan Hua knew about this matter, she had no intention to meddle in the slightest bit.
There was no point in her interfering with the military aside from attracting attention and suspicion from other people. For the time being, Nan Hua couldn’t bear to attract any attention.
"Do you know something, Nan Xian Tang?"
Nan Xian Tang had the feeling that his father was asking him because he knew that Old Master Nan doted on Nan Hua. If Nan Hai Lan dared to ask Nan Hua, it was estimated that Old Master Nan would bring him to train with Nan Hai Yan and watched him being beaten up.
As a child who had seen his father’s miserable appearance of being beaten, Nan Xian Tang could be sure of this matter.
Of course, he couldn’t help either.
He was much weaker than his father and uncle.
"No, I don’t know anything, Father. There are a lot of students in the school and I’m not familiar with everyone," Nan Xian Tang replied unhurriedly. His expression was natural and there was look of confusion on his face as if this was the first time he heard about this.
Nan Hai Lan was disappointed and turned to look at Nan Hua, who had a blank look on her face. He sighed deeply.
"Just be careful in the future."
"Yes, Father."
Old Master Nan tapped the table.
These people dared to target the children from influential family, which meant that they had the confidence to face the power behind these children. No parents would allow their children be taken by others just like that.
Not to mention, these people were by no means poor and could exert a lot of manpower in order to retrieve the children back.
But they still do it.
What was the purpose?
Old Master Nan glanced at Nan Hai Yan, who was still silent and chose not to think about this matter anymore.
He proceeded to ask the others about their activity.
Lin Mei Yu only answered briefly about Lin Family business, Ruan San Yu was staying at home and shared some gossips she heard, which naturally received a glare from her husband.
These gossips were both true and false. It was hard to know the authenticity of the news, so they have to check it again in the future if they do want to know.
But the topics were not very interesting.
Nan Xian Mu told about his school progress, Nan Hua and Nan Xian Tang talked about their exams.
It looked harmonious.
After the talk, they were free to do what they wanted because Old Master Nan had to rest. Of course, he called his two children to talk in the study first.
Tep.
"What happened with the disappearing children?" Old Master Nan asked in a low voice.
Nan Hai Lan hesitated for a moment before replying, "One of these missing children come back not long ago. But his parents said that he’s acting strange. Not long ago, they found out that he took the money from the house and reported him as thief but he quarreled that he’s their son and will get this money sooner or later."
Old Master Nan: "..." I have no interest in private matters.
Nan Hai Yan listened to his younger brother telling this matter and then slowly asked, "Have you checked the child’s DNA?"
"The DNA is the same, but... we found that thing." Nan Hai Lan looked at his father. "I have already handed him over to the department and they said that they will handled the matter."
Old Master Nan and Nan Hai Yan’s expression become dignified when they heard Nan Hai Lan’s words. Even if he was not telling it clearly, they could guess what he meant based on his expression.
There were only a few banned items that many people didn’t dare to say outright.
"Is he still alive?"
"No." Nan Hai Lan shook his head. "The moment he was found out, he committed suicide."
Nan Hai Yan frowned. "It might be brainwashing or threat. Have you tested his blood for poison or something like that?"
"Negative. He’s very healthy."
"Then he might be brainwashed or tempted." Nan Hai Yan took a deep breath. "How long has he been missing and what happened before he went missing?"
"His parents said that he’s just an ordinary student and played with his classmates most of the times. Even if there were some bad friends, but their influence was not very big...."
Nan Hai Lan reiterated what he knew to his father and older brother.
In short, the child used to be an ordinary child with few conflicts with his classmates. The only thing that was different was that there was a story of him falling out in love with one of his classmates and have some troubles in class because of it.
But after asking around, it was a normal thing to happen for the teenagers.
The boy also didn’t come to school to bother the young woman again and instead made trouble in his family after his return, so no one thought about associating this matter.
Nan Hai Yan frowned. "Try to investigate whether these children had conflicts with others before their disappearance or not. Impulsive teenagers can be easily swayed by emotions and might make decision they regret in the future."
The rise in hormones could make the children make their decision impulsively. Even adults could make impulsive decision, much less teenagers who were full of hormones.
Hearing his younger brother’s story, Nan Hai Yan felt that if this continued, it will be very dangerous.
But he had other matters to do, so he could only ask his younger brother to investigate.
