Xu Musen was still sitting in the interrogation room, and outside, a crisis seed to be brewing.
But he was closing his eyes and resting, regaining his composure.
The more critical the situation, the more he needed to replenish his energy and mindset so he could fully invest himself in this crisis once he stepped out.
Luo Hao was sitting across from him, with a wide table between them, and he hadn't been released either.
Of course, his staying put was in accordance with Huang Tianming's arrangent. Otherwise, the mont he walked out, those reporters would surely swarm to interview him, and any slip-up could ruin everything.
He looked at Xu Musen, who was still resting with his eyes closed, feeling sowhat surprised, but then he let out a sneer, "You've got so nerve sitting there so calmly. Let tell you, you're finished this ti!"
Xu Musen just lifted his head to glance at him, then chuckled, "I used to have a dog at ho. Every ti it went out and fought with other dogs over poop, it would co back to , happily wagging its tail, if it won."
Luo Hao's face stiffened. Even though he had been dismissed from Huhai University, he still prided himself on the dignity of a teacher. Being ridiculed in such a sarcastic way by a forr student irked him greatly, "What are you implying? Calling a dog?"
"Of course not, you're not even as lovable as my dog, Da Huang. Comparing you to a dog would warrant an apology from dogs."
Xu Musen let out a chuckle, his tone genuine and earnest.
Luo Hao's face turned green with anger. Being used to feigning decency, he found himself at a loss for words when it ca to hurling insults.
Just then, soone rushed to the door and said to the captain standing guard, "Captain, there's trouble at the entrance, there's soone... there's a... "
"What, a pointy-faced monkey showing up with Horses' Fortune? Look at you, all flustered. Take it easy and speak slowly."
The captain spoke irritably.
"No, it's not that. There are people at the door bringing banners... No, wait, it's more like causing trouble, and it seems to be led by a well-known enterprise from the city, people from Yao Group."
The young team mber was speaking in a hurry.
Xu Musen looked back, and sure enough, there was Xiao Sickly Cutie, always the fastest to act.
"Yao Group..."
The captain was in charge of managing these issues and naturally knew all about Huhai's well-known enterprises.
Yao Group had not been rooted in Huhai for very long, but their growth had been impressive. It was said to be a company built from the ground up by a female CEO.
Although there was still a gap compared to Huhai's established major companies, it was remarkably good and one of the businesses that the city currently valued highly.
If it had been any minor enterprise, they would have been turned away imdiately.
But such big enterprises were major taxpayers, and everyone had to show them so courtesy.
"What do they want?" the captain asked, wondering why they would have offended anyone from Yao Group recently.
"They... seem to be here to seek justice for soone."
"Seeking justice, for him?"
The captain's gaze turned to Xu Musen, and he quickly had an idea of what was happening.
So this young man had connections too, no wonder he was so calm.
Xu Musen also smiled faintly, and the words "the wife is making a scene" suddenly floated through his mind.
"Actually... it seems they are seeking justice for this person nad Luo Hao..."
The young team mber said, scratching his head.
All three of them were now puzzled.
But just for a second, Xu Musen suddenly smiled as well, the tacit understanding between a childhood sweetheart, and even a spouse from a past life, allowed him to guess Yao Mingyue's plan.
Luo Hao was the most bewildered. He was even wondering if this Yao Group was another ploy by Huang Tianming?
By now, quite a crowd had gathered at the entrance of the police station.
A conspicuous banner was raised.
"Teacher Luo Hao loves his students like his own children, risking himself to seek justice. We kindly request the authorities to show rcy!"
Yao Mingyue was even holding a silk banner, already presenting the image of seeking justice for the people's teacher.
Yao Mingyue had planted her own people around the area, who had already started to spread the word.
"What? You're saying the teacher who stood up for the students' rights has been arrested?"
"Exactly, and they're not allowing anyone to go see him. Who knows how long they'll keep him locked up."
"Huh, this is really sothing. Aren't they bullying the honest folks?"
"Right, right, they must release him. They're just a supervisory departnt; what right do they have? Release him!"
With so stirring, the crowd was also brimming with righteous indignation.
A smile touched the corners of Yao Mingyue's mouth. At this point, public sentint was leaning towards Luo Hao.
If Yao Mingyue were to act under Xu Musen's na at this ti, it would backfire, leading the public to think that Xu Musen was again using his connections.
On the contrary, by taking advantage of Luo Hao's na, it was easier to sway public emotions.
It might look like exploiting goodness as bait, but Yao Mingyue didn't care.
All she wanted was to see Xu Musen quickly.
Sure enough, not long after, a plump director found the captain, "What's going on here?"
"Well... I'm not sure either."
The captain could guess sothing, but he was still inclined to favor Xu Musen and feigned embarrassnt, "Director, maybe we should let her in. This commotion isn't good for us either."
The director frowned. He was corrupt, to be sure, but that money had to be spendable. If things really got out of hand and the higher-ups found out and investigated, the fire might truly reach him.
Moreover, Yao Group was also a major taxpayer in Huhai, not soone he, a minor director, could afford to offend.
"Alright then, just keep a close eye on things. No one gets released without my say-so."
