235 Hong Ning’s Disappearance

“Qiao Xin, get ready to go on stage to receive your award.”

Qiao Xin’s face darkened as she looked at the student who came to inform her of the award ceremony.

Going up to receive this award was nothing but a great humiliation for her.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

She was about to sign a contract with a talent agency and make her debut, yet she still lost to them in this competition! And there was Qiao Jing, who didn’t even give her any face!

!!

Qiao Xin turned on her phone and sent a message to a girl she was close with.

If she couldn’t afford to offend Qiao Jing, or Qiao Yue for that matter, she could at least teach Hong Ning a lesson, right?

Qiao Xin sneered.

Hong Ning, you shouldn’t blame me if something happened to you. If you must cast blame, blame it on the fact that you were in the same class as Qiao Yue.

After the voting segment, there were still a few performances put up by the teachers. They were mainly funny and didn’t contain much substance.

Qiao Yue’s form teacher, Chang Yuan, even went up to perform a harvest dance, which amused the audience.

Qiao Yue didn’t pay attention to the show. She was focused on her chat with YQ.

YQ had found something.

Oswald came to C-Country with Andy this time. However, unlike Andy, there was no news about his visit to C-Country. The media seemed to be tight-lipped about Oswald’s arrival.

Moreover, in the first week of his visit, Oswald stayed inside the embassy and never came out. He also didn’t do much. No one saw him.

His social media and dark web accounts were dormant. He even hid his IP address.

In other words, Oswald’s visit to C-Country was originally a secret trip. However, for some reason, after a week of his secret trip, he suddenly attended St. Faustina’s Institution.

He was very high profile at St. Faustina’s. On his first day, he had beaten all the top students in the computer science faculty, and later, he had even hacked into the school’s network.

In less than a month, he had gained a large group of supporters at St. Faustina’s computer science faculty, and he was the mastermind behind the IT war with Harvey Academy.

Qiao Yue looked at the information YQ had sent her. Oswald didn’t seem to be connected to the Qiao family.

Although he and Andy were both at the embassy, they hardly crossed paths.

Unlike Andy, he did not meet with people from the corporate or political circles. He behaved very much like a rich young master who came to C-Country for leisure.

But there was one noteworthy thing. Oswald had visited Trand in prison.

Qiao Yue squinted when she read this. Was Trand and Oswald somehow in cahoots?

Just as she was deep in thought, Xu Hao nudged her. “Do you know where Hong Ning is?”

“Hong Ning?” Qiao Yue was puzzled. “Didn’t she go on stage to receive our award?”

Qiao Yue then turned to look at the winners podium on stage. No one was standing in the first place, but Qiao Xin was standing next to it with her trophy and smiling brightly.

A student council member ran over to Qiao Yue. “Is there anyone else from your class who can go up and receive the award? I don’t know where Hong Ning has gone to.”

Qiao Yue frowned. What was going on? Where was Hong Ning?

“Why don’t you go?” Xu Hao quickly pushed Qiao Yue to follow the student council member.

Qiao Yue followed the student council member backstage. It was just a short walk. “Where did Hong Ning go?”

“I was just leading them backstage. When I turned around, your class representative was gone. Who knows?”

Qiao Yue suddenly had a bad feeling, but she still followed the student council member to the front of the stage to receive the award.

She looked around, searching for Hong Ning.

But she couldn’t find her.

It was the principal who presented the award to Qiao Yue. He smiled as he presented the award to Qiao Yue. “Qiao Yue, you’ve worked hard. The performance your class put up was very good.”

Qiao Yue nodded perfunctorily; she was worried about Hong Ning.

Since Qiao Xin got second place, she wouldn’t let Qiao Yue’s classmates off that easily. She couldn’t do anything to Qiao Yue, or Qiao Yu. Her best bet was Hong Ning, who didn’t come from a prominent family.

After they walked off the winners podium, Qiao Yue grabbed Qiao Xin and asked, “Where did you take Hong Ning?”

“I don’t know.” Qiao Xin smiled, her eyes smug. “Why are you asking me when someone from your class goes missing? I’m not a human trafficker.”
