Chapter 890: Something Happened At The Kindergarten

Stunned, the chavs whipped around, their eyes full of vigilance.

However, Helian Wei Wei smiled and replied in a straightforward manner, “Miss, this a workshop and we’re not exorcists. Are you at the wrong address? However, there is an exorcist on the next street.” According to the rules, she would only accept tasks after sunset, and no one would approach her during the day.

“Someone told me that there’s an exorcist here.” The lady wore a long grey robe that was stained with oil. She eyed Helian Wei Wei warily. “That person’s surname is Tang. He told me that someone will help me if I come here.”

Young Master Tang? Helian Wei Wei’s expression underwent a subtle change as she stared at the woman. “Did he pass you anything?”

“Huh? Did he pass me anything?” All of a sudden, the woman seemed to have recalled something. “He told me to show you my mobile phone when I’m here.” The woman whipped out a cheap mobile phone from her pocket.

Helian Wei Wei received the cellphone from the woman. The screen, which was initially flickering, instantly lit up. A silvery fox appeared on the screen. It pounced forward as though it was going to jump out of the screen, but the fox eventually dissolved into a few words. The line said, “I am referring this case to you.”

The chavs were not surprised by Young Master Tang’s computer hacking skills that could penetrate any digital system.

However, the woman, who came for Helian Wei Wei, had never seen such a feature on her mobile phone. Eyes widened and mouth agape, she exclaimed, “What! What is that?”

“It’s a mission card.” Helian Wei Wei put on a faint grin as she returned the phone to its owner.

The woman received the phone and began to study her phone. Yet, the animation was nowhere to be seen. “Huh, where did it go?”

Helian Wei Wei did not answer her. The Tang Sect’s secret orders were rarely assigned directly by Young Master Tang. If so, the orders would appear in very creative ways every time and caught everyone off guard. This was the sect’s way of protecting themselves.

“Tell me. What’s troubling you?” Helian Wei Wei crossed her legs casually. The gentle smile on her face could easily bring people’s guard down.

Immediately, tears escaped her eyes as she wailed in despair. “My son has gone missing! I can’t find him anywhere.”

“Have you made a police report?” Helian Wei Wei asked in a muffled tone.

The woman clenched her fist. “The police rejected my report because it hasn’t been 24 hours yet.”

“Indeed.” This was also one of the reasons behind the increasing number of missing children over the years. To be honest, it would already be too late for the investigation to start one day later.

But…

“How do you know that your son’s disappearance is linked to the ghosts?” This was Helian Wei Wei’s first question.

The woman scanned her surroundings before she replied, “My son is not the only one who went missing. Ever since the start of term, the children in the senior kindergarten class have been disappearing one after another and it happens once every two days. Most of them would go missing in the evening after school ends. However, it hasn’t been long since the children were lost and the school insisted that the kids were picked up by their relatives. Notwithstanding that, I know my son very well. He would never follow a stranger.”

“The senior kindergarten class?’ Helian Wei Wei lifted her gaze. “Is it the kindergarten in our area?”

The woman replied with a firm nod. “I’ve told others that the kindergarten seems rather odd, but no one believes me. However, the kindergarten is really dodgy.”

“There is nothing wrong with the kindergarten,” Helian Wei Wei interrupted with an indifferent tone. Meanwhile, she furrowed her brows as though she was engrossed in her train of thought.

The woman gently bit her thin lips. “You don’t believe me too?”

“It’s not that I don’t believe you. I’ve been to that kindergarten too.” Helian Wei Wei paused before she added, “My son goes to the same kindergarten and he only reported himself to the class today. The kindergarten itself has no problem. The most important question is who abducted your son. Unfortunately, I cannot be certain that spirits or ghosts are behind the abduction when the evidence is limited.”

Upon hearing Helian Wei Wei’s words, the woman seemed rather hesitant to continue the discussion.

Helian Wei Wei smiled before she continued, “If you don’t tell me the entire truth, the chances of rescuing your son will grow slimmer as time passes.”

“To be honest…” Tears raced down her cheeks as the woman spoke, “Since a month ago, my son has been acting strange. As you can see, our family isn’t well off. His father is merely an ordinary construction worker, while I own a noodle stall. Many customers come for noodles in the afternoon. So, I usually pick up my son late. Once, he told me that he suspected someone was trailing him. Initially, I thought he was imagining things and he didn’t repeat it again. Therefore, I didn’t take it seriously. A few days before he went missing, he was alone in his room, but was talking to someone. When I asked him whom he was talking to, he said he was playing with a little boy. But, there was no one else in the room. I was terrified and went to the temple to get a talisman for him. Then, everything went back to normal. But now, he’s gone.”

Helian Wei Wei listened to the woman but her gaze was fixed behind the woman’s back. Then, she asked with a faint grin on her face, “Besides your son, did you and your husband have another child in the past?”

The woman was glued to the spot. “How… how do you know?”

“I’ve read your fortune.” Helian Wei Wei stared at the tiny shadow that was standing behind the woman’s back. “Did he die in a car crash?”

Upon hearing this, gut-wrenching sobs tore through her chest as she nodded violently.

Helian Wei Wei was not supposed to speak of ghosts and spirits to the commoners. Yet, she tactfully delivered the truth to the woman. “Your son did meet a young boy, but the boy had no intention to hurt your son. Instead, they shared a special bond that only exists between siblings. Your firstborn sensed the danger that was approaching your son and wanted to protect him. Unfortunately, he had limited power and could not fight against the talisman. Therefore, he was forced to leave, when he could actually have guarded your son. If I’m not mistaken, your son disappeared right after your firstborn’s departure.”

The woman was drenched with tears after she understood the chain of events. “I always thought that he was holding grudges against his father and I, for we have given all our love to Xiao Xiang. We thought that was why he wouldn’t leave Xiao Xiang alone. I…”

“Children are always pure-hearted. They will always repay the kindness they have received. Even if their parents are biased toward another child, the family bond they share will always remain.” Helian Wei Wei rose to her feet. She deepened her gaze as she looked at the setting sun. Then, she turned around to look at the chavs before she flashed a wicked grin. “Someone’s causing trouble in our area. Is he trying to trifle with me?”

Kim, who had a cigarette in his mouth, did not speak. He silently grabbed his leather jacket.

Meanwhile, the bear-like Old A put on a broad grin before he brandished the metal rod in his hand. “Let’s go and get him!”
