It wasn't until Li Wenjie approached him to inquire about the matter that Director Zhou realized the seriousness of the situation. It turned out that Lin Zhennan and his wife had somehow found an incredibly powerful backer, someone so influential that even the secretary of that important figure had personally intervened! This greatly alarmed Director Zhou, who immediately became extremely vigilant. Not only that, he personally invited the principal to come along, hoping to resolve this thorny issue properly.
However, even in this tense and serious situation, the arrogant Wang Wanfang still didn't know what was good for her and dared to point fingers! Director Zhou cursed inwardly, "This stupid woman, can't she see what the situation is?" If he let her continue to act recklessly, he was afraid that even his promising future would be affected! Therefore, Director Zhou made a decisive decision: he absolutely could not let this foolish woman say another word!
However, by then, it was all too late. Li Wenjie was incredibly clever; he instantly saw through the trickery, and his face immediately turned ashen.
He stared coldly at Director Zhou and said in a chilling tone, "Director Zhou, I never expected your Education Bureau to have become like this! A woman who has absolutely no connection to education affairs is actually able to point fingers and act arrogantly here! Hmph, it seems I must report what happened today to the higher-ups in detail!"
These words struck like a thunderbolt, and Director Zhou immediately sensed something was terribly wrong. He knew that if this matter were reported to higher authorities, the consequences would be unimaginable. At that moment, Wang Wanfang, seemingly oblivious to the gravity of the situation, continued to argue, her mouth opening and closing. Seeing this, Director Zhou was frantic, cold sweat pouring down his forehead.
In the blink of an eye, Director Zhou rushed forward, raised his hand, and with a sharp "slap!", delivered a resounding blow to Wang Wanfang's face. In an instant, the entire scene fell into a deathly silence; everyone present was stunned, speechless for a long time.
Wang Wanfang covered her swollen cheek, feeling both ashamed and angry, trembling with rage. Her eyes widened as she pointed at Director Zhou, her lips trembling as she stammered, trying to retort, "You...you...you dare to hit me!" But before she could finish, Director Zhou interrupted her.
Director Zhou's face was grim. He lowered his voice and said fiercely, "You idiot! Can't you see the situation now? If you don't leave, even your wife will suffer! You've really messed up this time. This guy in front of you is not someone you can afford to offend!" As he spoke, he pointed at Mo Yuan and Li Wenjie, his eyes full of warning.
Upon hearing this, Wang Wanfang was startled. She looked in the direction Director Zhou was pointing and gasped when she saw the cold, stern faces of Mo Yuan and Li Wenjie.
At that moment, she finally realized that she had really bitten off more than she could chew.
Wang Wanfang stared wide-eyed, her face filled with disbelief. She simply couldn't understand how things had developed into such an unexpected situation! Just last night, she had been whispering sweet nothings in her husband's ear, adding fuel to the fire, trying to make the flames against Lin Zhennan and his wife burn even brighter, hoping to plunge them into an abyss of no return.
But who could have predicted that the situation would take such a dramatic turn in the blink of an eye! Mo Yuan, an unknown figure who was thought to have come from a poor, remote area, actually had intricate connections with such a powerful and influential person in Shanghai! Could there be some unknown secret hidden behind this? The more Wang Wanfang thought about it, the more uneasy she felt, and her heart tightened.
Especially when she heard that Director Zhou had taken this matter to heart, and that it could potentially have a significant impact on her husband's career, Wang Wanfang's heart raced, and a fine layer of sweat broke out on her forehead. No, she had to find out what was going on immediately! With that thought, she composed herself and decided to put aside the current chaos and go home to thoroughly investigate the truth of the matter.
Meanwhile, Cui Hao, standing to the side, wore a bitter and frustrated expression, as if he had failed to steal any rice and instead lost it all. Despite his resentment, he remained clear-headed and knew that he had no ability to get involved in the current situation.
So, before anyone else noticed him, Cui Hao, like a startled rabbit, quietly slipped away from the crowd, afraid that he might get into trouble if he wasn't careful.
Watching Cui Hao and Wang Wanfang turn away in a sorry state, their steps faltering as if they were fleeing in disarray.
Mo Yuan felt a sense of relief, but his anger hadn't subsided, and he wasn't willing to let it go so easily. If Li Wenjie hadn't arrived in time to defuse the crisis, although he wasn't afraid of those people himself, they held a certain status and could still suppress his in-laws. Moreover, they had even tried to take advantage of the situation and kick him while he was down. Now, although the group had fled the scene in a panic, letting them go so easily was not his style. He had come to Shanghai determined to vent his anger.
That guy named Cui Hao was relatively easy to deal with. However, if he chose to ignore Wang Wanfang as well, pretending nothing had happened, it was hard to guarantee she wouldn't cause trouble again after he left. Thinking of this, Mo Yuan couldn't help but sigh coldly, "Brother Li, thank you so much! It's all thanks to your timely arrival; otherwise, who knows how arrogant and domineering this woman would have been! Anyone who didn't know the situation might have mistaken her for some important figure, someone with a significant position in Shanghai!"
