Treasure identifying Golden Finger

1Arriving at Zheng Ziyun's office, Faang Cheng walked over to the chair in the reception area and sat down. The main seat was left for Zheng Ziyun, but he did not dare to sit down. Instead, he stood at the entrance of the office with his head lowered, looking at Faang Cheng who was cowering in fear.    

    

He was afraid of Faang Cheng not because of his identity, but because he had done something wrong.    

    

"Come and take a seat. You make it sound like I'm bullying you."    

    

Helpless, Faang Cheng weighed the teapot in front of him. It was empty.    

    

"Don't sit down. Bring me a pot of tea!"    

    

Faang Cheng pointed at the empty teapot.    

    

"Oh, okay!"    

    

Zheng Ziyun carried the teapot out of the room with a sullen expression. Not long after, he returned with a pot of tea and some snacks, all of which he placed in front of Faang Cheng.    

    

"What's wrong? Are you planning to hold a tea party?"    

    

Faang Cheng looked at Zheng Ziyun helplessly.    

    

"I'm just afraid that you'll get tired of lecturing me, eat something to replenish your energy, and then continue lecturing me!"    

    

Zheng Ziyun said to Faang Cheng with a smile.    

    

"You still have the nerve to say that!"    

    

Faang Cheng rolled his eyes at him helplessly.    

    

"Besides, since when did I teach you a lesson? What right do I have to teach you a lesson? At most, I'll just give you some suggestions!"    

    

Faang Cheng poured himself a cup of tea and also a cup of tea for Zheng Ziyun. He then pointed to the main seat and gestured for Zheng Ziyun to sit down.    

    

"Take a seat. No one wants to criticize you. The reason I called you here is to think of a way to find this child. We can't just blindly search the entire Fringe City like this! Besides, there was another possibility that someone had already brought the child out of Fringe City. These were all possible. So what should we do next? We need to discuss."    

    

Faang Cheng's expression turned serious, and his words made Zheng Ziyun feel guilty from the bottom of his heart.    

    

"If I could report this matter to the City Lord's Mansion as soon as it happened, the possibility of this child being sent out of Fringe City would be much lower."    

    

At this point, Zheng Ziyun's tone became much lower.    

    

"En, I don't want to lie to you, but it's true. Think about it, today was already the fourth day since the child went missing. On the bright side, he might be hidden in a corner of Fringe City as a hostage, waiting for the kidnappers to ask for a ransom from his family, or waiting to be sold by the human traffickers. If it was more serious, it was possible that the child had been sent out of Fringe City and sold to other cities as a slave or a laborer. But if you think the worst of it... "    

    

Faang Cheng paused for a moment and looked at Zheng Ziyun. However, he still decided to speak his mind.    

    

"At the very worst, the child may have been... killed and left in some remote corner of the forest, probably torn to pieces by a pack of wild beasts."    

    

Hearing Faang Cheng's words, Zheng Ziyun's expression turned serious. He sat there with his head lowered, not saying a word.    

    

Faang Cheng knew that he was in a lot of pain, but this was something that he had to go through. He had done something wrong. He wanted to know what kind of serious consequences would result from doing something wrong. In fact, such consequences might have already happened by now. If Faang Cheng wanted him to remember this complicated feeling, then he would not make such a decision so easily in the future.    

    

"But from my previous experiences and ideas, it's not likely that the childcatchers simply wanted to kill the child. If they wanted to kill the child, they would have killed it, and it wouldn't have been so difficult to take the child away. And... to be honest, the chances of a human trafficker entering a convent and risking his life to catch a child are close to nil, so I'm more inclined to think that the bad guys are doing something with the child, and that the child is... probably alive. "    

    

Faang Cheng had scared Zheng Ziyun for a long time, but in the end, he still managed to appease him, allowing Zheng Ziyun to relax a little.    

    

"That's true, but where is that child now?"    

    

Zheng Ziyun was extremely anxious. He had seen the missing child before, and had even taught him a few lessons. The child was very intelligent, not very talented, but very talented.    

    

"How about... I go out and look for him, or else I won't be able to stay in the office any longer..."    

    

"Who is Director Zheng looking for?"    

    

Before Zheng Ziyun could finish his sentence, Lu Yanlin appeared at the door of the office. The door to the office had not been closed as he was waiting for Lu Yanlin to arrive.    

    

"City Lord Lu!"    

    

When Zheng Ziyun saw Lu Yanlin, he immediately greeted him with a slight nod of his head.    

    

"En, what are Brother Faang Cheng and Director Zheng talking about? I'll join in as well!"    

    

Lu Yanlin walked in leisurely and casually sat down on a chair beside Faang Cheng. Then, he looked at the two of them with a puzzled expression. In fact, when the young guard went to the City Lord's Palace to find him and told him that Faang Cheng had asked him to come to the Spirit Cultivation Academy, he had already been wondering what was going on. However, he knew in his heart that Faang Cheng would not so easily call him over for a chat, so what had happened must not be a small matter. He had to get there immediately.    

    

"Who did Director Zheng say he was going to find? Can I help?"    

    

Lu Yanlin continued with the topic.    

    

"Brother Lu, I really need your help this time. We need your patrol and the city guards to find a boy of about seven or eight years of age. Ziyun, you've seen what a child looks like."    

    

Faang Cheng looked at Zheng Ziyun.    

    

"There's a portrait of the child. Previously, we had prepared a portrait for the teachers in order to find him. It seems that there are still a few left."    

    

When Zheng Zi Yun heard Faang Cheng and Lu Yanlin's words, he suddenly remembered that there was still a portrait of the child in his desk. He quickly walked over and took out a few portraits.    

    

When Lu Yanlin heard Faang Cheng's words and saw Zheng Ziyun's actions, he finally realized what had happened. He immediately sat up straight, his expression much more serious than when he first walked in.    

    

"What do you mean? Is there a child missing from the Spirit Cultivation Academy?"    

    

He asked with a frown.    

    

"Yes, three days ago, an eight year old boy disappeared from the Spirit Cultivation Academy!"    

    

Faang Cheng answered concisely.    

    

"Three days ago? Then why did I only find out about it now?"    

    

Lu Yanlin looked at Faang Cheng in confusion. Faang Cheng did not say anything. Only then did Lu Yanlin realize that he had asked the wrong person. Three days ago, Faang Cheng had not even arrived at Fringe City. Thus, he turned his head and looked at Zheng Ziyun.    

    

"It's my problem!"    

    

Zheng Ziyun lowered his head and admitted.    

    

"I thought... I could find it, but... I overestimated myself!"    

    

Zheng Ziyun admitted that he had made a mistake in his first judgment, and the rest of his decisions had been wrong as well.    

    

The contents of the report were as follows:
