Class Teacher System

Chapter 65: Against heaven and earth (24)

Ren Zhu and Qin Cong once again ran along the coastline for more than an hour before silently returning to their accommodation. But just when they arrived outside the house, they both stopped in astonishment —– when they had left, the house was still pitch black, but now the living room lights were turned on.

For a moment, Ren Zhu had almost thought that those people had come over to drug them and take them away, but after carefully listening to the sounds and movements inside the house, they determined that it wasn’t the organisation who came. Through a small gap in the window, they unexpectedly saw Qin Shu.

Young master Qin’s expression instantly became dark. After watching Qin Shu’s actions inside the room, Qin Cong felt so angry that he was trembling all over. Ren Zhu quickly held his clenched fist and mouthed: Not normal.

Then, Qin Cong immediately calmed down. It was the first time Ren Zhu had seen this kind of calm yet stormy expression, which showed just how angry he was.

At this moment, Ren Zhu felt that Jack Chen was indeed a very experienced person. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have made him carry a bucket of mantis shrimps back. Hence, Ren Zhu directly walked to the door and chatted.

“Ai, our luck was pretty good tonight. We were actually able to catch a bucket of mantis shrimps.”

Although Qin Cong was extremely angry, he also knew that now was not the time burst out in rage. “Yes, but please don’t do this again in the future. Just because you couldn’t sleep, you dragged me out in the middle of the night to catch prawns. If it weren’t because we were lucky, then don’t mention catching prawns, we’d be caught unprepared.”

“Che, regardless, we still caught some prawns. Hm? Is someone still awake?”

Saying this, Ren Zhu then reached out and pushed open the door. He then saw that Qin Shu had already hidden the two cell phones that were in his hand and now had a big coconut in front of him. “Brother, Teacher! I woke up and felt thirsty, but I can’t open this coconut. Hurry up and help me ah!”

Qin Cong quietly glanced at him and then sighed as he walked up: “A weak chicken like you still wants to try and open a coconut. Step aside and let your brother do it!”

Qin Shu stood to the side and rolled his eyes. Watching everything from the beginning, Ren Zhu narrowed his eyes. There was something wrong with this child. Although at first glance, there didn’t seem to be any difference, but after they came in, Qin Shu’s reaction became more and more natural the longer they talked. Now, he was completely different from the cold lifeless child they had seen through the gap in the window just a moment ago. If it weren’t because that scene was still fresh in his mind, Ren Zhu almost suspected that he had been hallucinating.

“Teacher, did you catch a bucket of prawns? As expected, Teacher is really awesome! Let’s eat braised prawns for lunch tomorrow! Ai, it’s so hard to have a decent meal here.” At this moment, Qin Shu had already quenched his thirst with the coconut water. He then carried the coconut over with a big smile on his face.

Ren Zhu raised an eyebrow: “It’s fine if you want to eat it, but you guys need to be in charge of cleaning them.”

Qin Shu let out a huff: “Of course, of course! Ah, I’m tired again. I’m going to sleep. It’s now only 12:30? I can still get plenty of sleep.”

“En, hurry up and go to bed. Otherwise, you won’t be able to keep up with the chores tomorrow.”

Qin Shu then rushed back to the bedroom. Ren Zhu also switched off the lights and dragged Qin Cong to bed.

The two of then squeezed together on the side of the bed that was against the wall and quietly discussed under the blankets. Young master Qin’s expression was so stormy that it could ooze water. “Which scum did it?!”

They had actually already approached his little brother and caused him to become abnormal. If he and Ren Zhu hadn’t found out this time, then when they wipe out the organisation and think they had seized total victory, would he still be unaware that his own brother had already become the organisation’s puppet? And then what? After another 10 or so years, the organisation would be brought back by those chess pieces who haven’t been discovered yet. It would then rise from the ashes and continue to harm to the next generation!

“I’m going to blow up this island.” Qin Cong ruthlessly said.

Ren Zhu suddenly understood something. No wonder the system had constantly reminded him that the target had continued to blacken. The target person was naturally a child in his class, but he didn’t find any problems with them before. Now that he thought about it, on the day he made the phone calls, there was only one call in which he didn’t confirm the student’s situation himself. That student was Qin Shu. What was Qin Shu’s answer back then? He said that he was playing with a friend. Then, what were they playing? And who was the person he was playing with?

Ren Zhu figured out this point and told his thoughts to Qin Cong. Qin Cong was first shocked, and then he immediately reached into his pocket to take out his cell phone. But then he realised that he had placed his phone by the bed when they left and Qin Shu had now hidden it. Even if he found his phone, there also wouldn’t be any signal.

Qin Cong’s expression was dark, but a smile slowly spread on his face.

Looking at his smile, Ren Zhu suddenly felt…… a little uneasy.

“Sleep.” Now, Qin Cong didn’t look any different from usual: “I have to say, you really are my soulmate. Otherwise, this chuuni plan would have probably succeeded in invading all the influential families.”

Ren Zhu: “……” Just then, you also sounded like a chuuni ah. Also, what does this have to do with me being your soulmate?

Forget it; it’s now already late at night. Perhaps there are still people monitoring the activities here. Although there weren’t any pinhole cameras in the bedroom, there were two in the living room. “Carry an interference device on you tomorrow. The images they’ll capture would be blurry. At least, they won’t be able to figure out what we’re saying by reading our lips.”

Qin Cong nodded. While the two were discussing, they didn’t realise that their position against the wall was very ambiguous and intimate. Now that they’ve finishing talking, it suddenly felt very hot underneath the blankets. Ren Zhu’s face heated up. Just as he was about to shift to the other side of the bed, Qin Cong directly reached out and pulled him back, strongly trapping him in his arms. A warm breath blew onto his face:

“Sleep!”

Ren Zhu’s mouth suddenly twitched. He knew all too well what this person was thinking when he said sleep. Zeze, he felt pretty good knowing that he wasn’t able to eat.

Early the next morning, everyone energetically got out of bed. After everyone washed up, Ren Zhu took a photo of their current progress and sent it over to the parents. The parents all quickly replied, each expressing how their child has grown up and become sensible, and that they looked full of energy. Ren Zhu actually wanted to talk to the parents of Class 9 and 10 to see if they received any fake information. However, in order to not alert the organisation, he still resisted.

They planned to take care of the vegetable field in the morning and then head into the mountain in the afternoon to go hunting and pick some fruits and wild herbs. The students of Class 4 and 5 automatically gathered together; this way, they only needed two teachers to lead all the children. Ren Zhu didn’t hesitate to ask Class 5’s Teacher Zhang Jun and Teacher Zhong Da Li to stay behind and attend to the vegetable field while he and Qin Cong took the girls to go pick shellfish. The girls were happily immersed in collecting shells, conchs, small crabs, prawns, sea cucumbers and squids. They didn’t realise that their Teacher Qin had disappeared for more than an hour.

Lunch was naturally braised prawns and fried crabs. The children had also used banana leaves and clay to wrap up two pheasants and buried them in a fire to bake. Although the taste was very ordinary, the children ate them with relish.

During their lunch break, Teacher Ren keenly noticed that young master Qin’s expression had become particularly indescribable for a split second. If there had to be a description, it would be that of a CEO smoking a cigarette while sneering: “Make such-and-such company go bankrupt”, mixed with the arrogance when Ren Zhu first met Qin Cong. That expression instantly vanished, but Ren Zhu was certain that Qin Cong had done something.

“That fat otaku already made a device that can block the shielding and directly connect to the satellite. So long as I attach it to the back of a phone, then I can contact the outside world.”

Ren Zhu smiled: “That’s good.” This solved their biggest problem, and it could also let the parents be somewhat prepared for what’s to come. “Let’s go find the entrance in the afternoon.”

Qin Cong nodded, but then shook his head: “It won’t be easy to find.” Last night, six of the mercenaries searched for the entire night and still couldn’t find anything. He and Ren Zhu would also need to keep using the excuse of going hunting to go look for the entrance. Who knows how many days this would take, or how long the children would suffer.

However, young master Qin then saw his lover reveal a smile that was very…… hard to describe. Although it was a smile, it was the kind that would make people feel extremely uncomfortable. Ren Zhu quickly replied: “Don’t be so sure.”

His skills weren’t for nothing. With the ‘class teacher’s camouflage’, plus the ‘class teacher’s detailed perception’, although he might not be able to find the entrance in one afternoon, but so long as he passes near its location, then he would definitely be able to find it.

Seeing Ren Zhu’s expression, the doubt that Qin Cong had deeply suppressed once again flashed through his heart.

In the afternoon, Class 4 and 5 entered the mountain together. This time, Teacher Ren very considerately gave Teacher Zhong Da Li the opportunity to show his jungle survival and hunting skills by dumping the students of Class 4 onto him and Teacher Zhang. Then, he said to his eager students: “Catching rabbits and chickens is no longer a challenge. I want to go deeper into the forest with your substitute Sports Teacher Qin to take a look around. We’ll see if we can hunt a deer, or a sheep, or a pig. Although with the location of this island, it is unlikely that there would be any here, but the school should have still placed a few in the forest.”

“If you guys want to eat beef, lamb, pork or venison, then you must be obedient and listen to Teacher Zhang and Teacher Zhong. Otherwise, even if we catch a good prey, we won’t let you eat any of it. Do you understand?”

The Class 4 students looked at him with their eyes glistening: “We understand!” Aiya, they might be able to eat pork or beef or venison today! Although rabbit and chicken meat were also pretty good, but if they didn’t eat pork, beef or lamb, then it didn’t feel like they were eating meat!!

The students of Class 5 also looked at him with their eyes glistening. Class 4 and 5 were now like a family. If Teacher Ren and Teacher Qin brought back a big prey, then whatever the case, they should at least be able to eat a thigh!

Hence, without attracting any suspicion, Ren Zhu and Qin Cong entered the depths of the mountain forest.

Even the two people monitoring didn’t suspect a thing: “Say, do you think they’ll be able to find pigs, cows or sheep in the forest?”

“Mm, I think so. After all, those animals don’t really move around and there are no natural predators here. They’re all stupid. Ai, I really envy that they can eat meat.”

.

“Right, but the mission will be completed in a few days. When that time comes, we can go back outside and stuff ourselves with meat!”

“En, who are we capturing tonight?”

“It should be Class 4 and 5. The other six classes are all gathered together in groups of three. Naturally, you’d first pick the soft persimmon. Also, the east side is very close to our east entrance. We might be able to eat the meat that Ren Zhu hunts tonight!”

The two monitoring staff drooled as they fantasised, while Ren Zhu and Qin Cong put in everything they had to look for any tracks or strange areas within the forest. The two of them thought that it would take them at least one afternoon, but because of a plump white pig, they unexpectedly and effortlessly happened to find that elusive entrance.
