In her previous life, Yang Wanwan had never met Pan Xingzhou in person.

When I was working on Ghostly, I occasionally saw information about Pan Xingzhou online, as well as a not-so-clear photo of him.

That photo was the only one that Pan Xingzhou released.

Although it wasn't very clear, no one could deny that he was a stunningly handsome man.

So handsome and heroic, he seemed invincible.

...

Do some practice problems!

Yang Wanwan immediately pulled herself back from her thoughts of being stranded.

After evening self-study, when Yang Wanwan arrived at her dormitory, she was stopped by a female classmate.

"Yang Wanwan, someone is spreading rumors that you were taken away by the police station, you know that, right?"

Yang Wanwan nodded, "Yes. But look, I'm perfectly fine."

The girl named Tan Meimei tilted her head and ate an ice pop. "Well, I thought you seemed like a good person, so I was skeptical of this statement. Now it seems that my thinking was correct."

Tan Meimei has short, neat hair and a cheerful smile.

The other roommates in the dormitory also laughed.

Yang smiled.

In this world, most people have their own judgment; there aren't that many fools who are led by the nose.

The children who come to Yucai Middle School are all aiming for a bright future. They just want to make the most of their time to study, get into a good university, and secure a good future, so as not to waste their youth.

Most of them don't have that many shady thoughts.

Only people like Guan Fangfang and Miao Feng would waste their time on things they shouldn't.

Yang Wanwan arrived at Hu Youjin's dormitory.

Guan Fangfang was just about to go out when she saw her and immediately turned back to her dormitory.

"Youjin!"

Yang Wanwan ignored her and called out to Hu Youjin loudly.

Hu Youjin saw her and said, "Wanwan!"

"Youjin, didn't you say you wanted a set of physics problems from Haidian District? I brought them to you."

"Okay, leave it with me."

"Lights out, I'm going back to my dorm."

"Go ahead. I'll wait for you at the cafeteria tomorrow morning so we can have lunch together."

"Um!"

Hu Youjin's roommates started staring at Yang Wanwan from the beginning, and then started gossiping about her after she left.

"Guan Fangfang, didn't you say Yang Wanwan was arrested by the police station? She's perfectly fine now!"

"That's right, that's right!"

"Guan Fangfang, are you sure you're not mistaken?"

Miao Feng curled her lip: "They were arrested and then released, what's so strange about that?"

Hu Youjin scoffed: "Some people, even after being exposed for spreading rumors, still want to continue spreading them. Facts speak louder than words, don't think everyone else is a fool!"

Guan Fangfang stood by the bed, her face looking very unwell.

Miao Feng said, "The truth? The truth is she was arrested and then released! Who knows who she bribed to get released so quickly!"

Hu Youjin retorted, "Some people are like the deputy director's daughters, and even after being arrested, they can't be released. My Wanwan is just an orphan from the countryside. Does she think she's more powerful than the deputy director? People who say such things shouldn't even consider whether they're brainless themselves or think others are. Talking to brainless people will only make you stupid too. Get out of there!"

Miao Feng still pouted defiantly.

Although Yang Wanwan was at school, she didn't have time to deal with the police station matters.

In the middle of the night, she manipulated her space to reach the police station and learned that Liu Hui and her daughter had been detained.

Liu Hui and Luo Xiaoyan argued and made a scene, but to no avail.

Luo Jianshe tried every means to get them out, but the police chief was very firm and had a lot of reasons, so Luo Jianshe was at a loss.

Luo Jianshe quickly realized that his wife and daughter had offended the wrong people.

It's very simple; the police chief doesn't need to be so tough on himself.

So, who exactly did they offend?

Luo Jianshe pictured Yang Wanwan's fearless, mocking face.

Could it be this little girl?

That's impossible!

She's just an orphan!

However, since they had already provoked each other and formed a deadly feud, Luo Jianshe did not think they could turn hostility into friendship.

He returned home and sat in his study, lost in thought for half the night.

Early the next morning, Hu Aimin knocked on Luo Jianshe's door.

He also didn't sleep a wink last night, having followed Luo Jianshe to many places before finally returning home to sleep for a while in the middle of the night.

He came to see his father-in-law so early in the morning to discuss countermeasures.

Luo Jianshe asked him, "Aimin, is there anyone behind Yang Wanwan?"

Hu Aimin was taken aback. "Who could be behind her?"

"She's an orphan. How could she attend high school if she didn't have anyone backing her? I heard she has younger siblings, and only Yang Xiaojia in the Yang family cares about her. Her uncles don't care about her at all. Moreover, she personally sent two of her uncles to the police station. This girl is something else."

Hu Aimin dismissed it, saying, "She's just a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl."

Luo Jianshe narrowed his eyes slightly. "You've misjudged her. This young lady is no ordinary person. We've really messed up this time."

Hu Aimin: ...

How is that possible?

"Your mother-in-law and Xiaoyan are fine, they should be back by today. Tell them not to provoke Yang Wanwan again."

"So, we're just going to leave it at that?"

"Let's leave it at that for now."

Hu Aimin: Temporarily?

He understood.

After this incident at Moon Bay, Yang Wanwan thought about it for a while and submitted an application to the school to not live on campus.

She used to think that people from outside the county had to live on campus, so she stayed at the school dormitory.

After some time, she realized that this might not be the case. Adding to this, the incident at Moon Bay, and the fact that she had many other things to do, meant that living at school greatly restricted her movements.

After submitting my application for on-campus accommodation, it was approved in just three days.

On Friday evening, Yang Wanwan asked for leave to return to Fuxing Reservoir Village, and she skipped her half-day class on Saturday.

Yang Wanwan has good grades, and teachers have always been inexplicably lenient towards students with good grades.

However, her homeroom teacher, Ms. Qiao, still gave her a few words of advice, telling her not to slack off, and then granted her leave.

Yang Wanwan went back because the village was going to hold a meeting to discuss repairing the road.

This matter has been discussed several times, and each time Er Ye and Shang Tao have gone with Grandpa Yang and Grandma Yang to participate.

Tonight's meeting is to finalize things and then begin real action.

The road built by Fuxing Reservoir Village is divided into several sections. One section is a main road from Qingshan Town to Yang Wanwan's house, and the other sections are small paths leading to various groups in the village from not far from Yang Wanwan's house.

Several cars can travel side by side on a main road, while two cars can travel side by side on a side road.

The main roads are paved with cement, while the side roads are simply leveled.

According to the consensus reached at the previous village meeting, work will be allocated based on the number of people. So, tonight is the night to finalize this matter.

Yang Wanwan installed a telephone at home. Er Ye had previously used the home phone to call the rental house in the county town and explained the whole story.
