Me at two years old, a queen!

After the incident that day, Bai Ning originally planned to lure An An away, creating the impression that Qi Rongyu had failed to take good care of her, leading to An An getting lost. She would then use this opportunity to get rid of Qi Rongyu.

He planned to retrieve the item through the back door quickly, hoping to gain merit and establish a good teacher image – a seemingly innocuous act that unexpectedly led to disaster.

She pushed Qi Rongyu out as planned, but when she realized the child was gone, she panicked and dared not say anything more.

"You can't even take care of a child! Teacher Qi, do you know how heartbroken a family is when a child goes missing?!"

"Will those parents outside still believe us?"

"How are we supposed to explain this to those parents?"

The headmistress was also trembling with fear as she helped search for An'an. At this point, she also harbored considerable resentment towards Qi Rongyu, having initially been reluctant to help him because the Qi family had sponsored his education for many years.

He usually took good care of the Qi family's only granddaughter, but now that something has happened, and it's the daughter of the King of Hell who's in trouble, it seems they're all going to suffer.

Faced with the parents' condemnation and skepticism, the only options right now are to severely punish Qi Rong and appease the parents first, suppress the matter, and pray that the child is alright. Otherwise, all his hard work in this life will have been for nothing!

Qi Rongyu was thus pushed out, and many families in Haicheng took the opportunity to try and extort something from the Qi family, demanding an explanation from them.

Only then did Bai Ning realize the enormity of her troubles. Qi Rong was actually the granddaughter of the Qi family, a family of scholars who had produced Grand Tutors in every generation for hundreds of years.

With all the family members being outstanding, and branches spread across various cultural industries such as calligraphy, antiques, and education, Bai Ning knew perfectly well that he absolutely could not expose himself.

If it weren't for Old Master Qi coming to plead for leniency, Old Master Lu wouldn't have known that so much had happened in such a small kindergarten.

He trusted the character of the Qi family patriarch, believing that a child raised in such a manner wouldn't be inherently bad, which is why he had Lu Jing investigate.

The thought of the teacher named Bai Ning, who had helped search for the child when the incident occurred, made Lu Jing feel nauseous.

However, he lacked concrete evidence and couldn't openly do anything to her. There were no security cameras in that area, which is why they didn't find the child immediately that day.

Fortunately, a sharp-eyed child saw it. It was the parents who were risking it to try and get a place in the Lu family's social circle, since it's hard to believe a child's words.

Lu Jing and the others believed it, but none of them intended to expose the child. They had plenty of ways to get revenge on someone; there was no need to put a child in the spotlight.

He acted the very next day after the child was found, and news broke throughout Haicheng that Bai Ning had accepted gifts, treated the child differently, and maintained an ambiguous relationship with the child's father.

The wealthy women of Haicheng flocked to her door, and even the kindergarten director who had wholeheartedly recommended her was implicated, his future ruined, and it would be impossible for him to make a living in Haicheng again.

Suddenly, the respected, gentle, and intellectual teacher Bai Ning became a pariah, and one day she disappeared without a trace.

The kindergarten principal hadn't expected that the Lu family would be willing to destroy the kindergarten just to avenge the child. He had assumed he could at least continue working at the kindergarten.

After all, this kindergarten belongs to the Lu family. Which wealthy family doesn't prioritize profit? No matter what, this highly profitable elite kindergarten can keep operating.

But in this situation, not only do parents distrust the kindergarten, but the image of the Lu Group behind it may also be damaged.
