Ai Lan: "Hmm, my elder brother said in the group chat just now that he'll consult a lawyer tomorrow."
Li Shi sent her two hug emojis.
Then he asked, "Before this happened, you all didn't notice anything?"
Ai Lan: "In retrospect, there were suspicious signs, like him saying he was going out of town for supplies and being gone for a week or two at a time. But we never thought much of it back then."
Ai Lan: "But Teacher Bai never doubted him and trusted him unconditionally, so this has been especially devastating… I'm very worried about her right now."
"You two sisters should pay special attention to her during this time."
