The three of them sat by the window in the cafe.
After the waiter brought over three cups of coffee, Qu Weiyang looked at the handsome man and beautiful woman sitting opposite her. Six years ago, Yisha Academy had the worst college enrollment rate in Heng City. Because it was a private school with expensive tuition fees, many parents complained about it.
But that same year, Yisha Academy suddenly produced the top scorer in the science college entrance examination! From then on, Yisha Academy was like a cheating player; its enrollment rate kept soaring. Every year, the top scorers in both arts and sciences in Heng City came from Yisha Academy.
After three students jumped off buildings this past month, I deeply investigated Yisha Academy. Starting six years ago, whenever a student's score dropped below five hundred points in any grade, they would jump off a building. The students are under immense pressure, but it also guarantees the enrollment rate. No one dares to let their guard down.
Last year, there were no jumping incidents because all the students scored above five hundred points. This also led to many parents spending exorbitant amounts of money trying to get their children admitted.
What I find bizarre is that the students involved in the three jumping incidents this time were all top performers. Even if they had their own pressures in other aspects, they shouldn't have jumped.
Your brother mysteriously disappeared and then appeared on the rooftop. You arrived in time to save him. Was it because you could calculate in advance that he would have an accident?
Qu Weiyang took out her phone and clicked on a video.
It was a clip of Wen Yan participating in the metaphysical variety show Calculating Life.
Wen Yan nodded. Those three students who jumped all received a note. A note with the number 4 was slipped into my brother's English book. So, I suspect someone had their eyes on him in advance. I have the same doubt as you: why is it the top students jumping this time?
Qu Weiyang took another photo out of her bag. If you can read faces, can you take a look at her?
Wen Yan looked at the photo. It showed a young woman with her hair tied in a low ponytail, wearing black-rimmed glasses. She looked delicate and pretty, but because she was unsmiling, she gave off a rigid and stern impression.
Wen Yan could tell at a glance that this was a teacher.
Qu Weiyang said, Her name is Jiang Qing, a teacher at Yisha Academy.
Wen Yan pursed her lips. But she died six years ago, didn't she?
A hint of shock appeared in Qu Weiyang's eyes. You calculated that?
Wen Yan furrowed her brows. Just from the photo, she could feel a wave of resentment coming from this Teacher Jiang Qing.
Teacher Jiang Qing definitely had a story.
Wen Yan immediately checked her Gossip System.
After graduating from a normal university, Jiang Qing taught at a public high school. In just three short years, she became the most outstanding teacher at that public school.
Jiang Qing's boyfriend's father was the school director of Yisha Academy. As Yisha Academy's reputation grew worse and worse, her boyfriend's father asked Jiang Qing to come teach at Yisha, promising that if she nurtured an outstanding class of students and improved Yisha's enrollment rate, he would allow her to marry his son.
Jiang Qing resigned and came to Yisha Academy. She took charge of Class Ten, the class with the worst grades. Starting from the second semester of their freshman year, she guided that group of underachievers. She left early and returned late every day, pouring all her energy into those students.
She was very strict. Even though she was occasionally pranked by that group of rebellious underachievers, she never gave up on them. She worked overtime to give them remedial lessons, focused on key knowledge, woke up early to exercise with them, and even visited them one by one during the holidays to tutor them for free.
Under her day-after-day efforts, Class Ten's grades finally improved from last place to first place in the entire grade. However, just three months before their college entrance examination, the principal sent Jiang Qing on a business trip.
When Jiang Qing returned, her position as the homeroom teacher had been replaced by another young female teacher, Shu Ti. Jiang Qing did not forcefully demand her position back; she believed that group of children would definitely do well on the exam.
Indeed, as Jiang Qing had expected, Class Ten produced the top science scorer, and even the worst student scored over five hundred points.
Jiang Qing was genuinely happy for them from the bottom of her heart. However, when the top science scorer was interviewed by the media, he only expressed his gratitude to the new homeroom teacher, Shu Ti. The school and the other students of Class Ten also credited the success to Shu Ti. That year, Shu Ti was awarded the title of National Outstanding Teacher.
It was one thing that no one was grateful to Jiang Qing, but some students even came out to complain that Jiang Qing was a devil teacher who had traumatized them psychologically. They claimed that if it hadn't been for the beautiful and kind-hearted Teacher Shu Ti later on, they absolutely would not have achieved such good results.
Those students were brought up by Jiang Qing through her blood, sweat, and tears. Although she was strict with them, she genuinely wanted them to improve. Not only were they ungrateful, but they also falsely accused her.
During that time, Jiang Qing suffered unprecedented cyberbullying. To make matters worse, her boyfriend's father, who had originally promised her to nurture a good class of students, went back on his word and forced her and her boyfriend to break up.
Coincidentally, Jiang Qing found out she was pregnant at that time. While walking down the stairs at school, she was in a trance and accidentally fell. The students of Class Ten had returned to school to give gifts to Shu Ti. Seeing her fall, not a single person stepped forward to help her. Jiang Qing suffered a miscarriage, and she felt absolute despair in life.
After she was discharged from the hospital, she jumped straight off the teaching building!
After reading this piece of gossip, Wen Yan felt a heavy heart and remained silent for a long time.
Si Moyan's facial contours were tense. He looked at Wen Yan's hands under the table, which were trembling slightly with anger, and quietly held her hand.
Seeing that Wen Yan didn't speak for a long while and that the rims of her eyes had turned slightly red while looking at Teacher Jiang Qing's photo, Qu Weiyang furrowed her brows. Miss Wen, did you calculate something?
Wen Yan took a deep breath and looked at Qu Weiyang. Officer Qu, what are you suspecting?
Qu Weiyang marveled at Wen Yan's astuteness. She pursed her lips and said, When the three student jumping incidents happened this month, that Teacher Shu Ti had just found out she was pregnant.
Before Wen Yan could say anything, Qu Weiyang added, That Teacher Shu Ti married Teacher Jiang Qing's boyfriend.
Wen Yan closed her eyes, her heart feeling incredibly heavy.
Miss Wen, I don't know how long it will take for the Kyoto Supernatural Department to arrange for personnel to come over. Since you have the ability, can you cooperate with me?
I'm worried that more students will jump off buildings for no reason. They are all still vibrant and energetic kids. It's too unjust, too pitiful!
Wen Yan nodded. Okay, I promise you.
Qu Weiyang reached out her hand to Wen Yan, her eyes revealing a look of gratitude. Thank you so much, Miss Wen.
...
Whether the student jumping incidents were man-made or caused by ghosts, Wen Yan wasn't clear right now.
But for the safety of her brother and the other students, Wen Yan and the Si family decided to go to Yisha Academy to investigate the situation deeply.
Si Moyan pulled some strings and became a substitute PE teacher at Yisha Academy. Wen Yan became a doctor in the infirmary, Si Jingyi became a security guard, Old Master Si served food in the cafeteria, and Wen Jinglou stayed at the hospital to closely look after Wen Xiaoshu.
One day, as Wen Yan and Si Jingyi were passing by the sports field, she saw an unexpected scene—
