Wen Nian dialed Xu Chang's number to provide an update on the situation and requested an additional two days of leave.
Before it was noon at her location, Wen Nian noticed that public opinion on the Internet was once again brewing and gaining momentum.
It originated from the Hai City secondary school forum and rapidly disseminated across various online platforms. The news propagated so swiftly that Wen Nian couldn't help but wonder if someone had hired paid posters to accelerate its spread. "It appears that Huang Yue possesses significant financial resources," she mused, contemplating the situation.
Wen Nian chose not to retaliate immediately. She maintained her composure and patiently waited until after four in the afternoon when she received a call from Li Fang.
Wen Nian answered the call with a composed demeanor, though her voice betrayed her true feelings of despondency. "Teacher Li," she uttered, her tone heavy with sadness.
