I lost interest in continuing with my work and hastily packed up my things before leaving the company.
After calling Ding Xiao, I hurried to the school.
The young female teacher was being scolded by the principal, tears streaming down her face.
"It was my negligence. I had no idea the child could crawl through the railing. I thought she had gone to the restroom, and I was too busy to report the situation immediately. I'm sorry, it was all my fault; I was wrong..."
Ding Xiao stood by, his eyes betraying his panic.
I pulled him aside to ask for details,
"When did Ruirui go missing?"
"The teacher said she hasn't seen her since after the third class. She didn't know where she went and was too busy to think much of it, and she didn't call me until the fourth class."
"Have you checked all the nearby surveillance footage?"
