Rebirth: The Comeback of the Girl-Chapter 918 - 917: Returned Empty-Handed

Hearing the commotion from Mrs. Cao’s side, Zhen Yu suddenly remembered something!

So she quickly stopped her on the phone and said, "Don’t rush off just yet! Mrs. Cao, please quickly check what you brought along. Confirm what color clothes and pants the teacher was wearing when he left? Did he take a bag? Having an accurate image will make it easier for us to find him! Also, his documents, did he take his ID card? If he used his ID card to check into a hotel, it would be easy to inquire!"

"Let me check!" Mrs. Cao grabbed the phone and hurriedly went to rummage through the bag!

A moment later, she said, "He probably didn’t change his clothes, just left wearing what he did today! Black pants, a dark blue down jacket, and a gray sweater underneath! He didn’t take any spare clothes, but he did take his ID card!"

"Alright! Then please hurry to the police station! We’ll also try to come up with some solutions!" Zhen Yu agreed and was about to hang up, not forgetting to remind as she wrapped up, "Bring your phone charger with you and make sure to keep your phone on at all times!"

"Alright, I got it!" Mrs. Cao agreed, and hung up the phone even faster than Zhen Yu!

From the looks of it, obviously in her heart the police station was much more useful than Zhen Yu...

It was only by this point that Bai Xue dared to chime in with a question.

"Teacher Cao... ran away from home?"

By this time the two of them had already returned to the living room, so upon hearing this question, both boys were taken aback.

"Teacher Cao?" Lu Huai was quite puzzled, "Why would he run away from home to find you? You’re eighty yards away from Qi City,"

"Teacher Cao is in the Capital!"

——

Han Mingyue first explained, then turned and asked Zhen Yu, "Did he leave any information when he left?"

"He left a farewell letter." Zhen Yu replied while racking her brain for solutions.

Han Mingyue continued to ask, "Did you report it to the police?"

"I had Mrs. Cao report it, but the problem is, the Capital is so big, how are we supposed to find someone?!" Zhen Yu was genuinely troubled.

"Can I ask, what’s really going on here?" Bai Xue weakly interrupted.

Zhen Yu glanced at her.

Then realized, since Cao Yong and Bai Xue didn’t have a close teacher-student relationship, Bai Xue was entirely in the dark about this matter.

"Teacher Cao is in the late stage of lung cancer, came to the Capital for treatment. Then suddenly left a note and ran away, huh?"

After saying this, Zhen Yu suddenly realized something seemed off! So she immediately looked up at Han Mingyue.

Han Mingyue blinked, quickly grasping the key point.

"I guess Teacher Cao thought if he ran away near home, it would be too easy to be found! So he took advantage of this treatment trip to come to the Capital..."

"You mean, he had already planned this before coming..."

Zhen Yu’s words were not a question, but a statement.

Because she trusted Han Mingyue’s judgment.

But what would happen if Teacher Cao really couldn’t be found? Then Zhen Yu would, indirectly, become somewhat of a culprit!

"So what do we do now?" It was Lu Huai who asked this question.

Being a straight-thinking, technically-minded guy, he couldn’t grasp these twists and turns! He only knew that problems needed solving.

No wonder they say ’birds of a feather flock together’! Bai Xue’s thought process was just as straightforward as his, and upon hearing the question, she immediately responded, "What else can we do? Of course, we need to quickly find a way to locate him!"

——

In the end, it was only Han Mingyue and Lu Huai who went out to look for him.

While Bai Xue was left to watch over Zhen Yu, and the two boys agreed not to let them go outside!

Han Mingyue was worried about Zhen Yu’s health because she was less than a month post-surgery, and had been overworking herself recently due to Teacher Cao’s situation. He absolutely would not let her tire herself out further!

Lu Huai, on the other hand, was concerned about Bai Xue’s safety.

Late at night, his pretty girlfriend wandering around, what if she encountered someone with ill intentions?!

So when the two boys left, not only did they lock the door from the outside, but Han Mingyue also specifically took Zhen Yu’s key with him...

Once they left, Zhen Yu immediately started making phone calls! Calling the manager of her internet cafe!

"Quickly print some missing person flyers! Station someone at the door, hand them out as people pass by! Here’s how to write the content as I say..."

After making the call, Zhen Yu swiftly turned on the computer and got on the forums!

First, she posted on each of the BBS that was rooted in the Capital’s universities, then sent messages in various QQ groups, and finally even put her face on the line to ask everyone she knew to help repost!

Seeing her busy like this, Bai Xue didn’t sit still either!

First, she mass-texted her university classmates, then told Zhen Yu to log into her own QQ!

Next, Zhen Yu logged into Han Mingyue’s, and Bai Xue logged into Lu Huai’s.

Zhen Yu even made a call to her brother, asking him to post a message over on his campus to help find the person...

——

They busied themselves all the way until nine or ten at night when Han Mingyue and Lu Huai returned one after the other.

Naturally, they didn’t have any results.

Zhen Yu then called Mrs. Cao, learning that she was at the police station waiting for news, and she didn’t know what to feel about that.

Fortunately, Cao Yong’s wife quickly explained why she chose to do this, "...I’ve never been far from home, and the Capital is so big, I just didn’t know where to start looking, so I visited several police stations! This police station, I don’t even know how far it is from where we’re staying, but everyone’s gotten off work here, only two people are on duty. They said it’s too late now and dangerous for me to be running around alone, so I plan to wait here overnight..."

"Sigh..." Zhen Yu sighed deeply, having to admit, everyone has their own way of doing things.

Even if each police station only added two people, maybe those two could happen upon that one-in-a-million chance meeting?

"I’ve already spread the message out, Mrs. Cao! Tomorrow morning, I’ll find a printing and photocopying shop to make more flyers, and we’ll distribute them together all over the place!"

This was another way Zhen Yu thought of to find someone in real life, considering newspapers have virtually faded out and the Capital’s TV stations are too high-end and out of reach for her to afford!

But just as Zhen Yu hung up the call, Han Mingyue suddenly said, "On the way back, I heard the taxi driver listening to the radio! I think, maybe we can try calling these radio hotlines for help, perhaps someone recognizes Teacher Cao while he’s using public transport?"

"This late, do you think he’d still be wandering the streets?" Bai Xue found it unlikely.

Zhen Yu, however, didn’t want to give up even a shred of hope, so she immediately decided, "Let’s try it!"
