The private school teacher, having seen them fuss for a while, continued to speak, telling them that if they saw that person approaching them, they should not make a sound. When he got close, they were to hold onto him tightly and bring him inside to hand over to him.
Director Cao and the others did not understand why the private school teacher asked them to do this, but they nodded in agreement.
The next morning, Director Cao got up at four o'clock. He still remembered the teacher's instructions and was prepared to seize the person and present him to the teacher to claim credit for it. After waiting a while, once all the classmates who were attending the private school had arrived, they proceeded toward the school.
They hadn't walked far when they once again encountered that figure holding a lantern.
