He carefully unfolded it, held it high above his head, and said loudly: "Everyone, my information is not groundless! This is the source of my information, right here in this newspaper. If you don't believe me, you can take a look for yourself. This incident is not as simple as it seems. It involves a wide range of aspects and has far-reaching impacts."
After saying that, Zhang glanced at the suspicious faces around him, as if waiting for them to take the initiative to come forward and check out the mysterious newspaper.
At this moment, someone said, "Let me see."
The students were like being ignited, and they instantly exploded! They quickly jumped up from their seats and rushed towards the mysterious newspaper.
For a moment, the entire classroom fell into chaos and noise, and the situation was out of control.
As the class monitor, Wei Guoqiang could only stand up and say, "Quiet, stop fighting. We all want to know about this. Give me the newspaper and I'll read it to you."
He took the newspaper from the classmate who had grabbed it and began to read: "This city has cracked the largest spy case since the founding of the People's Republic of China..."
When he read that Liu had an unusual relationship with Lantian from the First Affiliated Hospital of our city, the classmates started talking.
"The Liu mentioned here, is it Liu Tingting?"
"Is there any need to ask? It must be her!"
"Didn't she just marry a man named Zhang? Why is she with a man named Lan?"
"They are both the main figures in this case."
Wei Guoqiang put down the newspaper in his hand and said, "Are you still going to listen?"
"Listen, listen..."
Wei Guoqiang continued reading, "Among them, Liu discovered Li. To get intelligence, Li even dragged his cousin into the water..."
When Wei Guoqiang read this, the classroom suddenly exploded.
Some classmates were glad that they did not get involved with these two people, otherwise they would have been implicated.
A classmate asked: "Did you notice that there is still one person who hasn't come to collect the admission ticket?"
The students looked around the classroom.
"Zhu Dayong, he didn't come. He's Li Mei's uncle. Could he be involved as well?"
"He probably didn't, or his name would have been in the newspaper."
A classmate said, "They are both incredibly bold! How could they be involved with the spies? The spies are causing trouble everywhere..."
Another person took over the conversation, "That's right! My eldest brother works in the security department at the power plant, and he told me that their power plant is a key target for spies. They've been keeping a close eye on the situation at the plant, hoping to obtain important intelligence or sabotage it. And these two are so bold! I wonder what they're thinking! If their reckless behavior causes a safety problem at the power plant, the consequences will be unimaginable."
…
Wang Xiaolan was also stunned when she heard the news. She had never expected that Lan Tian was a high-ranking agent hidden in the hospital, and Liu Tingting was his capable assistant. She was puzzled as to why she would marry Zhang Fan. Wasn't this an obvious scam?
At this time, Zhao Lihan's biological father's family was also in an uproar.
Zhao Lihan's stepmother, Chen Juan, was also bewildered. "How is this possible? I've watched Tingting grow up... How could she be involved with spies? Is this a mistake?"
Zhang Xiaolian was extremely dissatisfied with her mother's doubts and said, "You still say that it's already been published in the newspaper. I have to believe it even if I don't want to. It's a fait accompli."
Chen Juan still didn't believe it and said, "There are many people with the same name. The one in the newspaper may not be Tingting."
Old Master Zhang glared at Chen Juan and said, "You've done a terrible thing. My son already had a girlfriend, and you tore them apart. Now not only is Zhang Fan cuckolded, but he's also been wrongly investigated for several days. Aren't you harming your own son? So, you're a good sister, but now, your good sister has hurt our family so badly, isn't that enough? You have to break up our family to feel at ease, right?"
Mr. Zhang threw the teacup in his hand to the ground and said, "The only way now is to get Fan'er to divorce. That kind of woman is a jinx."
Chen Juan got anxious when she heard this and said, "You, you asked Fan'er to divorce you after only being married for a few days? Isn't this going to become a laughing stock in our yard?"
Zhang Xiaolian said, "Mom, you're still concerned about face at this time. If this is published in the newspaper, what face will our family have left? The only way is to save face if Dad is right. Only if my brother divorces that woman can we save face."
Zhang Fan seemed like a different person overnight. His expression became dazed, his beard was untidy, and most of his hair was white.
Old Master Zhang coughed a few times and said, "Fan'er, you should have your own opinions. Look at the wonderful wife your eldest brother found. She's raising two children on her own and living such a good life. Why don't you learn from your eldest brother?"
Chen Juan, who was standing by, said unhappily when she heard what Mr. Zhang said, "You only know how to praise that country girl... I don't see what's so good about her. Shouldn't you ask Fan'er to find a country barefoot doctor as well?"
Old Master Zhang stamped the floor with his cane and said, "Then the wife you found for Fan'er is actually involved with the spy chief. Does that make her a good wife?"
After saying this, Mr. Zhang pounded the ground with his cane several times, followed by a violent cough. Soon, Mr. Zhang was gasping for breath and looking pale. Fortunately, he had with him the fast-acting life-saving pills specially prepared for him by Wang Xiaolan. He asked Zhang Xiaolian to take them, and he soon recovered.
Seeing her mother still nagging non-stop, Zhang Xiaolian couldn't help but frown and said with a slightly complaining tone, "Mom, please stop talking! Look at what Dad has become! Do you have to make Dad mad before you will let it go? Besides, Mom, you are wrong in this matter to begin with."
Chen Juan was immediately displeased when she heard this. She widened her eyes and raised her voice to retort, "Oh, Xiaolian, I didn't mean that! He's obviously narrow-minded and prone to anger, how can you blame me? Besides, do you think this is all Mom's fault? Are you still my biological daughter? Even you are speaking on your father's side! If you blame me, I've raised you in vain!"
Zhang Xiaolian said angrily, "Mom, I'm Dad's biological daughter too. You're in the wrong about this matter, Dad's not wrong. Of course I'm on the right side."
After catching his breath, Old Master Zhang said, "Chen Juan, if it weren't for the fact that you gave birth to a pair of children for me, I would really want to divorce you. Fortunately, the two children did not grow up to be bad. It's just that Zhang Fan is too indecisive. You, a mother who can't distinguish right from wrong, used the word "unfilial" to kidnap your son. You, you are harming your son!"
Chen Juan looked at Mr. Zhang innocently, thinking, "Isn't this all for my son's good? How can this be considered harming him?"
