Two days later,
That morning, Lin Xu woke up as usual. Together with Yanmei, she started preparing food early. Today, they had to deliver a 20 bowl of meat to the Yun Restaurant. While she was cooking, she also set aside some things for her boys at the academy, carefully packing them into a basket.
Out in the fields, Mo Ying and Fu Han were busy working on the farm, planting and tending to the crops. When Lin Xu came out with the basket, she handed it to them. "Take these to the boys when you visit. There's food, clothes, and some extra papers."
Mo Ying and Fu Han set off for the academy. But the moment they arrived, they felt something was wrong. The place was in chaos. Matrons hurried from one end to the other, whispering in panic. Some students looked unsettled, muttering among themselves.
"What's going on here?" Mo Ying asked, frowning.
A student stopped long enough to answer. "Two boys went missing two days ago. They haven't been seen since."
