Let’s inform Old Man Knight first. This is a special situation, and we need to buy Serena a little more ti.
Okay.
The students from A University found Old Man Knight, "Old Man Knight, our school’s Serena Sterling is missing. She might have sothing urgent, but she’ll return soon. Serena is this year’s top scorer with a perfect 750 on the joint exam. Could we move Serena’s presentation slot later to wait for her?"
Old Man Knight looked at the students and reprimanded coldly, "You’re being ridiculous. Today is the big selection day for the Academy of Sciences. Who among you doesn’t know? What urgent matter could possibly demand attention now? I think Serena Sterling doesn’t take this selection seriously and doesn’t respect us!"
T University and A University have long been rivals. Seeing Serena suddenly disappear, they imdiately kicked her when she was down. After all, only three spots are available in this year’s selection. Without Serena as a strong competitor, their chances increase.
"You at A University are being irresponsible. This is the annual Academy of Sciences selection we’ve been waiting so long for. Should we break the rules for just one person, Serena Sterling?"
"We..." The students from A University attempted to argue back.
At this mont, Old Man Knight interrupted everyone’s voices, "Enough, stop arguing. It’s already ti for Serena Sterling’s appearance, and she’s not here? Cancel her qualification directly!"
Old Man Knight made the final decision to cancel Serena Sterling’s qualification for the selection.
Anabelle Rathborne had remained silent; this was all within her expectations, so she was not surprised at all.
Serena Sterling had always wanted to join the Academy of Sciences, but now, she can’t!
Anabelle restrained the smile on her lips and walked forward, looking a bit serious, "But where exactly has Serena gone? Could she be in trouble?"
With these words, everyone thought of bad possibilities, and soon whispered among themselves,
Recently, a female university student vanished out of nowhere as well. That student was a dance major and very beautiful. In the end, the police found her, but she had been... raped and murdered.
Oh no, could sothing have happened to Serena? She’s so beautiful; it’s easy to provoke evil thoughts. We need to call the police imdiately and check the surveillance footage.
All of A University was in panic. Soone took out their phone to report to the police, while others went to the security departnt to obtain surveillance footage.
The surveillance footage was opened, and they found Serena. She was unconscious and being carried away by several burly n in black clothing. One of the n even lewdly touched Serena’s exquisite face.
Another man urged, "Alright, get her in the car first, and we can have fun in the car later."
The faces of the students who saw this surveillance footage changed dramatically, and so students from T University whispered among themselves, "Serena really was taken away by several n. She’s probably already been..."
Conner Wright and others from A University heard this and were furious, "What the hell are you saying? Watch your mouth, and say it again if you dare!"
"Did we say anything wrong? Serena’s been in the lilight lately. She’s been targeted. Even if we rescue her, she’s undoubtedly already been taken advantage of by those n!"
Conner threw a solid punch right at that person’s face, and the students from A University and T University were on the verge of an all-out brawl.
The scene turned into chaos.
Anabelle Rathborne did not participate; she remained an observer. Her hands remained clean. In truth, she did nothing, and none of this had anything to do with her.
...
The Academy of Sciences selection was a big day, and news of the brawl between A University and T University quickly spread throughout the City of Aethelgard. Naturally, the news of Serena Sterling’s disappearance spread like wildfire.
Everyone was speculating about Serena’s fate. A young girl in her pri had been taken away by several burly n; her innocence was surely lost.
Those harboring hostility towards Serena embellished the story with vivid details, and soon all attention was on Serena, much of it unkind.
Hayden Crawford was driving, his Rolls-Royce Phantom speeding down the road. His large hand was on the steering wheel when he received a call from his grandmother.
Hayden answered, "Hello, Grandma."
"Hayden, it’s bad news; sothing’s happened to Serena!" His grandmother’s anxious voice ca through imdiately.
Hayden’s handso brow furrowed. He hadn’t seen her these past two days, but today she should be at the selection at the Academy of Sciences.
"Hayden, Serena was taken away by several n in black at the Academy of Sciences selection. This matter has already reached every corner of the city. I feel this is very strange. Surely soone used today’s event to push Serena into the lilight and ruin her reputation," his grandmother astutely assessed. "Those n in black won’t spare Serena; they’ll definitely violate her in the car!"
Hayden’s hand tightened on the steering wheel, his veins bulging as a cold fury enveloped him.
"Hayden, you must find Serena quickly. I’ve sent all the clues to your phone."
The ssage ca through, and Hayden opened it. His grandmother had led the Crawford family for many years and had a powerful grasp of matters. All the clues had been sent.
Hayden opened the details about the black van; the n in black had taken Serena into this vehicle and left.
"Hayden, I’ve already had people track the black van. It’s now on West Loop Road."
West Loop Road?
Hayden looked up and glanced outside through the polished glass window. He was on West Loop Road now, and at that mont, a black van appeared across the street, passing by his Rolls-Royce Phantom.
It was the black van; Hayden recognized it at first sight.
"Hayden..." His grandmother was still saying sothing on the other end.
Hayden reached up and removed the earpiece from his ear, turned the steering wheel sharply, and his Rolls-Royce Phantom made a swift U-turn. He pressed the gas pedal, and the luxury car shot forward like a rocket.
So passing cars stopped and exclaid,
"Look at that Rolls-Royce, it’s like they don’t value their life!"
...
Inside the black van.
Serena slowly regained so awareness, but she wasn’t fully conscious. Her whole body felt limp and weak; she knew she’d been drugged.
Tiana Ford wasn’t as ordinary as she appeared. Her acupuncture strikes were both vicious and precise, directly piercing her acupoints and numbing her nerves.
Who is Tiana Ford?
She must have been lurking around her all along.
At this mont, her goose-yellow sweater had been peeled off, and a hand was pinching her face, "Tsk tsk, such a beautiful face. They say A University’s campus queen is a little fairy, and sure enough, the reputation is well-deserved. Compared to her, the won we’ve played with before are all mundane and vulgar, haha."
