Seeing that Xu Tingchuan's expression was off, Ni Sitian walked over to him and, noticing that he seemed to be staring at the television, turned to look at the television as well.
The female news anchor on television was calmly reporting the horrifying news: the Damascus airport in Syria had been largely collapsed, and tens of thousands of people had been killed or wounded.
Ni Sitian was stunned. She grabbed Xu Tingchuan's arm and asked urgently, "Have you contacted Shen Muzhi?"
Xu Tingchuan frowned and shook his head.
Ni Sitian's face also turned pale. The earliest flight from Damascus to the transit point was at five o'clock!
If Shen Muzhi is in a hurry to come back, he will definitely book this flight!
Now that the airport has been blown up like this, what about Shen Muzhi?
"I'll go check the time!" Ni Sitian strode towards the study, turned on the computer, and checked the time of the missile launch and the flight's departure time, silently repeating in her mind that it must have already taken off.
However, it showed that it had not taken off. Ni Sitian's fingertips froze. Had Shen Muzhi really gotten into trouble like this?
Xu Tingchuan changed his clothes and walked outside the study. He said to Ni Sitian, "Breakfast is on the table. Remember to eat. I'm going to meet Pei Yang. Don't overthink it. Wait for my news. If you can get in touch with Xiang Zhilan, then try contacting her."
After he finished speaking, he walked out. Ni Sitian came to her senses and decided to listen to him and wait for news.
After eating two bunny-shaped buns, she lost her appetite and still felt uneasy.
He picked up his phone and dialed Zhi Lan's number, but it was switched off.
Then she dialed the Xiang family's number to ask for Xiang's parents and Zhi Lan's contact information, but still got nothing.
Finally, she looked up the phone number for Zhilan's newspaper online, called to inquire, only to find out that Zhilan had already resigned.
She was completely dumbfounded. Zhi Lan wasn't going to Syria, and she had even resigned. So why did she lie to her and say she was going on a business trip? What was going on?
Ni Sitian found this very strange. What had happened that she didn't know about?
*******
With a bang, the fence that Xiang Zhilan was brushing fell over. She was slightly startled and felt inexplicably flustered.
"Teacher Xiang, Teacher Xiang?" The child grabbed Xiang Zhilan's sleeve and shook it.
"The teacher is thinking about what to plant in this little vegetable garden. Do you have any good ideas?" Xiang Zhilan snapped out of her reverie, reached out to lift the fence, and forced a smile as she spoke to the children.
The children offered a flurry of ideas, immediately drawing Xiang Zhilan's attention, and she began to seriously discuss planting with them.
In the afternoon, after coaxing the children to sleep, she got up and left the house, heading towards her dormitory.
For some reason, she felt uneasy and wanted to call her parents.
As soon as I turned on the phone, I saw several missed calls from Ni Sitian.
She immediately dialed back, and after a few rings, Ni Sitian's anxious voice rang out: "Zhi Lan, where are you?"
"I'm on a business trip," Xiang Zhilan lied, feeling a little guilty.
"Don't lie to me. I asked the newspaper, and you resigned." Ni Sitian frowned, not understanding why she would lie to her, but that wasn't important now. She had something more important to say. "Do you know that Shen Muzhi thought you went to Syria, and he went there with you?"
Xiang Zhilan was astonished, "He really went?"
She thought he couldn't possibly go to Syria for her sake; he was just saying it as a way to force her to stay.
