When Miss Cherry has managed to reach the conference room, the group of directors who were already present had decided to call off the meeting. They were all prepared to leave and one of them who first walked up to Miss Cherry at the doorway looked deeply disappointed, "Miss Cherry, we have waited for you for over half an hour. What have you to say?"

Miss Cherry quickly bowed to apologise, "Sorry, Mr Lee and everyone, I have overlooked today's schedule."

He only raised his hand to hint he has no wish to hear such excuse, "That reason aside, do you actually come prepared?"

"Huh?" Miss Cherry seemed to be not able to react on time.

Mr Lee sighed, "Like, your reports??"

Miss Cherry was dumbfounded. How on the earth was she able to remember those documents having gone through the horrible rush.

Mr Lee could tell what her answer would be upon studying her expression, "Miss Cherry, I'm afraid to say you really should consider by now, whether you are actually suited to continue your current post as an acting principal..." He then left with the others, who only gave her sour looks.

Over at Sheng Ying, 007 and Tian Mo Xing have headed over to the library to search for the school's history book which Miss Cherry had mentioned to them.

They presumed that they have came up to the right section. Tian Mo Xing remarked, "It's really unfortunate that Teacher Cherry's copy has a whole three-quarter of the page torn off. Otherwise, we could just obtain more clues straight from it..."

007 stooped down and ran his fingers through the row of books on one of the lower shelves, "We're almost at it, only that it's weird this series of volumes are not placed in order."

Tian Mo Xing also crouched down beside him, "Could it be that they have been borrowed as well?"

"Surely a possibility," he agreed.

She reached forward as they both finally spotted the first volume at the same time, "007, let me get it for you...Don't hurt your wounds again..."

Tian Mo Xing has to exert some effort as the thick books were fitted too tightly together. When she was pulling it out halfway, the whole cupboard shook.

"Tian Mo Xing, careful!!" 007 cried as the shelf nearly wanted to collapse and he hastily hurled himself in between her and the bulky tower. Tian Mo Xing was startled by his action as he persisted with one hand to push back the shelf behind them to regain its balance.

"007, are you okay?" she helped him sit back up again and checked with concern.

"Don't worry," he breathed hard and faced her with a forced smile. "Are you alright?" he asked her in return.

"Oh you," Tian Mo Xing only became more worried. "How can you still care so much when you yourself are obviously exhausted?!"

He touched her face, "I'm okay." Deep inside, he always felt a pang of sadness whenever that sunshine smile on her face suddenly disappeared.

The sound of a book slipping out of the edge of a corner behind the shelf interrupted their attention. 007 reached out to take it and they noticed the pages in the middle.

"Hey, that girl in the picture looks awfully familiar!" Tian Mo Xing observed.

"We have definitely seen her before," 007 affirmed and read the caption below it that said she was a year 2005 junior scholarship winner to be admitted to Sheng Ying.

"Yuan Lan Ying!!" Tian Mo Xing caught her name printed.

"No wonder," 007 uttered in realisation.

"She was 12 years old then," she further stated and then flipped through the other pages to see. "Weird eh, she achieved straight As in all 12 subjects for the entrance exam, yet she was not found as one of the top three students during the year-end awards?"

Then, 007 noticed a considerable length of thread dropping out from in between the pages of the book and grabbed hold of it.

"Oh, we got a clue, a creamy white one," Tian Mo Xing described upon closer look.

Inside the MIT clubroom, 187 was still fixing his hair before his trademark handmirror and seated at one corner while 747 was stretching about and engaged in his own warm-up exercise at another extreme far end.

When 007 and Tian Mo Xing have entered, they were still not giving any heed to them both and continued to remain silently oblivious.

"Showing up only now...," 007 commented and went over to the table.

Both still didn't care a single bit.

"Hey, what's wrong with you both?" Tian Mo Xing pressed.

"I have try my best to stay calm and return here, any other issue, just ask him," 187 still appeared not bothering and went on to indulge in his own business.

747 was also avoiding everyone else's gaze, "Eh, I have also managed to keep my cool and arrived back here, any other queries, just ask him..." He then went on to stretch his strong limbs.

"Oh come on you both, we did manage to gather some useful clues a while ago, please, keep your focus!" Tian Mo Xing urged.

This at least alerted the two, as they both cleared their throats in sync.
