Initially, the blame was squarely on Li Pan, but Song Zhi's words changed everyone's perspective. They found Song Zhi's reasoning convincing and turned their collective gaze towards Xia Wan.
"Xia Wan, why not talk to the police and clear Li Pan's name?"
"Indeed, let's wait until her college entrance examination is over."
"I heard Zhou Kai didn't actually harm you. Just release Li Pan. We're classmates, after all, showing some compassion is only fair."
Xia Wan lifted her head and regarded those advocating for Li Pan with a detached air. These students, untouched by the incident, found it easy to suggest leniency.
Truly laughable.
"Release her?" Xia Wan retorted.
A unanimous nod from the students.
Xia Wan's response was a sardonic smile. "If I hadn't managed to call the police, can you guess what would have transpired next?"
