Chapter 779: Chapter 779: Teacher Mo Calls
Ling Yuxuan casually replied to Miao Miao’s question, “Going to the Law Enforcent Hall.”
Upon hearing this, Miao Miao felt a thump in her heart.
No way, no way, is she really going to plead for rcy for Qi Yuanyuan?
Unaware of what was going through Miao Miao’s mind, Ling Yuxuan left after dropping that remark.

Today’s breakfast was still had at the dical Alliance cafeteria.
After breakfast, Gu Huaijin went to find Mo Canglan, while Gu Min and Gu Ying were sparring in Gu Xiyue’s yard, and Gu Zhiqi sat in a pavilion nearby, seriously studying the high school coursework of this world.
She hadn’t forgotten about the deal to exchange a perfect score on the monthly test for a leave of absence note.
As she was engrossed in her studies, the phone next to her suddenly rang with the sound of an incoming call. Glancing at it, Gu Zhiqi saw it was an unfamiliar number; she originally intended to dismiss the call, but sohow, she ended up pressing the answer button.
Gu Zhiqi paused for a few seconds, then picked up the phone and held it to her ear, “Who’s this?”
“Student Gu Zhiqi, it’s , Mo Zeming.”
Although Gu Zhiqi had not heard of the na Mo Zeming, she recognized the voice as that of her class teacher.
“Hello, Teacher Mo.”
Teacher Mo, “Student Gu, you’ve been on leave for about ten days now, haven’t you? Why haven’t you returned to school yet?”
“Didn’t we et in the capital the other day? The bereavent should be over, right?”
Mo Zeming had been wanting to call Gu Zhiqi for a while but considered that she might need so ti to adjust due to the death of a relative.
However, since he saw her in the capital acting as if nothing had happened, he figured she probably didn’t need that ti.
Gu Zhiqi, “…”
“I can’t return to school just yet.”
The dical Alliance was vast, and she hadn’t finished exploring it yet.
Since the food at the dical Alliance wasn’t particularly tasty, Gu Zhiqi didn’t plan to co back. So, she wanted to take her ti to look around, and check if there were any dicinal herbs she could use, maybe buy so to stock up.
Mo Zeming, “?”
“Ah? Why… why not?” Mo Zeming asked, sowhat bewildered.
Gu Zhiqi heard this, paused for a few seconds, then casually ca up with an excuse, “My rural mother has also died.”
Mo Zeming, “??”
“My biological father suddenly passed away, and she couldn’t take it, following him in death out of grief.” To make the excuse more believable, Gu Zhiqi regrettably added the “cause of death,” ensnaring Zhang Xiuli without a trace of hesitation.
“But how co I heard that your biological parents didn’t get along and had already divorced?” Mo Zeming sensed sothing was amiss.
Mo Zeming didn’t know much about Gu Zhiqi, but he was quite familiar with Gu Xiyue’s situation.
He had known Gu Xiyue before she returned to the Sea City Gu Family, so he knew a bit about her family background, and naturally, he was aware that Gu Xiyue’s adoptive parents had divorced and that she had a stepmother.
Gu Zhiqi, “…you said it yourself, you heard it.”
Mo Zeming, “…heh.”
After listening to Mo Zeming’s laugh, Gu Zhiqi stayed silent for a couple of seconds, then suddenly said, “Teacher Mo, I need to go select a grave for Zhang Xiuli. Let’s not talk anymore.”
Without waiting for Mo Zeming to reply, she hung up the phone.
Mo Zeming, “???”
Selecting a grave? What kind of lousy excuse is that?
Just after hanging up the phone, Gu Zhiqi felt soone behind her. Turning her head to look, she saw Gu Xiyue standing behind her, holding a book.
Gu Xiyue looked at Gu Zhiqi’s expression with a touch of complexity, “Choosing a graveyard… for Zhang Xiuli?”
Gu Zhiqi, “…”
After a few seconds of silence, Gu Zhiqi coughed lightly and said, “Just in case of ergency.”
Considering the ti, Zhang Xiuli didn’t have many good days left; who knew if she might pass away from the shock all of a sudden.
