Chapter 202 Message Explosion
Chapter 202 Message Explosion
About fifty meters from the entrance of Fuxing Community, there was a patch of greenery. Li Dapang emerged from the greenery wearing a woven straw hat, his head popping out as he glanced around cautiously.
"How's it looking?" At that moment, a voice came from the greenery. Xiao Han was sitting inside, leaning against a bush with a grass root in his mouth.
"Damn, they haven't left," Li Dapang replied, then added, "I reckon it won't be so easy for you to go back now."
"What should we do then?" Xiao Han asked, "I can't go back to the restaurant either. I don't know who leaked that I work at Hanmen Restaurant. Now those reporters are staking out the entrance. Sigh, what a hassle."
"You know what I don't get?" Li Dapang was baffled and became anxious, "Why are you so afraid of those reporters? Everyone else is dying for this kind of honor, but you, my friend, are keeping them at arm's length. You haven't committed a crime, for heaven's sake; it's a reason for celebration, a joyous occasion. Why are you acting like this?"
"Hehe..." Xiao Han chuckled, "Gotta keep it low-key, low-key!"
"Low-key my ass. Sooner or later you'll be exposed!" Li Dapang huffed, then continued, "You haven't heard? The phones over at Hanmen are ringing off the hook with calls from parents."
"What happened?" Xiao Han inquired.
"Turns out that quite a few kids who had no hope of getting into university have managed to clear the second tier of college entrance marks," Li Dapang said with a snicker, "Lots of parents called to express their thanks, and Li Yunpeng and the others received many banners of appreciation, and what's more, plenty of red envelopes. Nowadays, everyone is most curious about you, the mystery lecturer."
"Damn, I've really screwed things up now," Xiao Han slapped his forehead.
"You bet," Li Dapang chuckled, "Any one of your identities would shock people if they found out. If all of them were revealed, heh... can you imagine being chased by people every single day?"
"Forget it," Xiao Han said helplessly, "Right now my headache is how to deal with the current mess."
"It's not such a big deal," Li Dapang, with a cigarette in his mouth, said, "Just lay low for a while, and once this blows over, everything will be fine."
"Sigh," Xiao Han sighed deeply, "Where can I go?"
Suddenly, an idea struck him, and he remembered that he had the keys to Li Xiaoya's place. Li Xiaoya was always busy in the provincial city, and her luxury apartment in LJ city remained unoccupied. So, he decided to move into Li Xiaoya's home. Once the heat died down, he'd move back to his own place.
A sly smile appeared on Xiao Han's lips.
"You... you've got a place to go?" Seeing Xiao Han's smile, Li Dapang asked curiously.
"Yeah, I've got one," Xiao Han nodded.
"Where?" Li Dapang asked with curiosity.
"I'm not telling you!" Xiao Han chuckled mischievously.
Li Dapang was instantly dumbstruck; hurrying to put out his cigarette, he pleaded, "Tell me, I won't betray you, I promise!"
"No way," Xiao Han shook his head immediately, "Let's hurry and go."
Moreover, a video segment was broadcast, which was the footage of a few reporters interviewing outside the Hanmen Training Class. Although they did not get to visit the Hanmen Training Class, it made everyone aware of its existence.
Apparently, in LJ City, there was such a training class that had drastically improved the college entrance exam scores of a hundred students. Most notably, among these were more than ten students whose original scores only qualified them for vocational colleges, but this time they had passed the second-tier college line.
The news spread, and the entire province was ablaze with it.
No one would have thought that such a mysterious place was hidden in a third-tier city like LJ City, home to someone known as the 'mysterious teacher'?
Soon, the focal point of media and public attention shifted.
The reporters who had originally directed their attention at the college entrance exam top scorer suddenly shifted their focus. They turned their attention to the Hanmen Training Class and its mysterious teacher. Those reporters who were still in LJ City changed their itineraries. They decided to do a follow-up report on the Hanmen Training Class.
Particularly, there were rumors that the mysterious instructor had never shown his true face and even wore a mask during classes. This further piqued the curiosity of the national audience.
As a result, Central Television sent reporters to LJ City for a follow-up interview, planning to make a feature program about this mysterious instructor.
Suddenly, Hanmen Training Class was besieged. The two staff members on duty suffered because they had to face interviews from various media reporters every day. Since the others were reporters, they had to be careful about what they said. Just one bad review could spell disaster for them.
"Big Brother, we can't hold out anymore," the staff member could only call Li Dapang for help.

"Look at you cowards," Li Dapang replied irritably, "Even if you can't hold out, you have to. Otherwise, why am I spending so much money to have you sit in the office every month? I ask you to entertain these reporters, and you're not even willing to do that?"
"I..." the staff member looked helpless and said, "Big Brother, we really... we really can't stand it. They are too many, with over a dozen groups of reporters coming every day. Our scalps are about to explode from all the questions. If you don't come, we're leaving."
"Wait, I'll come!" Li Dapang hurriedly said, "Tell them that the person in charge is coming."
"Okay!" the staff member immediately nodded.
Li Dapang had no choice but to take off his work clothes.
"Where are you going?" Yang Lu asked.
"There's an issue at Hanmen Training Class, I need to go take a look," replied Li Dapang.
"What happened?!" Yang Lu asked anxiously.
"Hanmen Training Class has become a hot topic, and many reporters have arrived," Li Dapang answered, then added, "So, I need to go check it out."
"Okay," Yang Lu nodded.
Curious, Yang Lu turned on her phone, and indeed, the news was utterly dominated by the top scorer Xiao Han and the Hanmen Training Class. A smile curved at the corners of Yang Lu's mouth. She hadn't expected Xiao Han to look so handsome in the news—a beaming smile that was exceedingly sunny.
