Tang Guosheng's expression wasn't any less awful than hers. He rubbed his temple as he said, "I asked around and heard that it's Mayor Yuan's idea."
Tang Wei tightened her grip around her beaded bracelet and mumbled anxiously, "Wasn't Mayor Yuan transferred here from Beijing? Why is he getting himself involved in this for no reason?"
Rao City's mayor was a man of a good family background from Beijing. Wasn't he here just to enhance and improve his status?
He was still going to return to Beijing after two years.
People like this usually wouldn't interfere in such trivial matters.
They didn't care to!
Tang Guosheng pursed his lips. He had been in Rao City for so many years and had his own network. He turned to ask his mother, "Would Old Master Jiang know Mayor Yuan?"
Tang Wei's eyelids twitched as she shifted the beads on her bracelet. She somehow felt that this wasn't the case. Then again, she couldn't think of any other possibility.
"I've met Mayor Yuan a few times, I can look him up and see how it goes. Perhaps he'll give this old woman some face."
Liang Heng's call came at this moment.
Tang Wei was getting old and her hearing was deteriorating. She usually turned on the speaker mode when she received calls.
She had just said hello.
Liang Heng, on the other end, started rambling like a machine gun.
"Teacher Tang, where is this Qiao Nian from? Didn't you tell me that this was just an ordinary case of students finding trouble? And that she only had the Jiang family behind her?"
"Yes, why would I lie to you?"
"Then, why is the provincial department investigating me? I've received a few calls since this morning, and it's all about the First High School case. Teacher Tang, you'd better think hard about who's behind Qiao Nian. Could we have offended someone we shouldn't have? If this goes on, I'll have to bring some gifts and offer my apology to them."
Just a while ago, Tang Wei was saying that she would only consider letting this matter go if Qiao Nian apologized to her.
It had been less than a half-hour and the tables had turned.
