Chapter 580: Chapter 580

Thursday night at 10 PM, Huo Feng uploaded the video of Han Feiyi’s antics to the school forum.

That very night, under Huo Feng’s covert operations, the post went viral!

In less than half an hour, the post had spread across all grades and classes! Han Feiyi became infamous in school in a rather unconventional way!

At the same time, she was the subject of criticism behind her back by students of different grades and classes—they had a plethora of bad things to say about her!

Of course, the post wouldn’t last long on the forum; it wasn’t even up for an hour before being deleted by the administrator.

But by then it was too late...

Because many students had already saved the video, and once they knew the truth, the students of Class 2-1 exploded with reactions even more intense!

Even though the original post was deleted, there was a second post, then a third...

Nearly the entire class of 2-1 kept reposting, re-uploading the saved videos to the forum. The administrators deleted one post after another until, out of desperation, they locked the entire forum, prohibiting anyone from posting!

Only then was the forum temporarily quieted down.

However, calming the forum was useless, for the news had already spread rapidly throughout the school!

Even without the posts, the entire school now recognized Han Feiyi, knew of her character, and also learned about the incidents that occurred last year when she competed with Pu Sangzhi for the title of campus belle.

Even the students from Han Feiyi’s own class were aware now.

Her classmates had defended Han Feiyi for a year, with nearly half of them feeling that she was severely suppressed by Pu Sangzhi’s cunning tactics!

After this incident, however, their perceptions were entirely changed, with the feeling of their worldviews shattering!

As a result, Han Feiyi totally lost it last night...

She couldn’t even stay in the dorms and, in the middle of the night, called her father to pick her up immediately.

Thursday night was destined to be a restless one.

Or you could say that this week was bound to be tumultuous!

Every single day there was no peace within the school, with breaking news and astounding twists occurring daily! All the students could say that they had their fill of excitement for the week, deeply feeling that Longxiang School was in chaos!

But for Huo Feng, none of these events mattered.

Right now, what he considered most important was the weekend trip to Hangzhou!

Huo Feng had barely made it to Friday, getting through Friday morning...

As soon as class was over in the morning, he strode to his dorm with a determination that brooked no interference, kicked his luggage and left!

Huo Feng had booked the earliest high-speed train ticket to Hangzhou!

Thus, after getting out of class at 11:30 AM, by 12:45 PM he was already waiting in the high-speed train station’s waiting hall with his luggage.

The train was scheduled for 1:10 PM, which barely allowed any time for slips on the way!

Huo Feng took a photo of the time on his train ticket, shared it on his Moments, and sent it to Pu Sangzhi as well, with the message, "Beauty, I’m on my way! What about you?"

After sending this, he put down his phone and tapped his fingers on his leg, feeling exceptionally bright and cheery!

But Pu Sangzhi did not reply to his message...

Huo Feng had no idea what she was busy with.

He waited for perhaps over 30 minutes...

By the time he was already seated in the train with his luggage, Pu Sangzhi had still not sent back a single message.

Looking at his silent phone, Huo Feng felt restless and annoyed!

He then called Pu Sangzhi directly through WeChat, but the call didn’t go through either.

Staring at the darkened phone screen, Huo Feng’s brows creased, "Damn it Sangzhi, what have you been busy with recently? Why is it so hard to get in touch with you?"

He knew she didn’t usually play with her phone much...

But couldn’t she just turn on her ringtone?

All these calls and messages gone unanswered, surely she must have muted her phone!

This bad habit, Huo Feng was definitely going to make her break it!

Then, Huo Feng, who had been spacing out on the train, suddenly thought that he could contact Ye Qingcao, right? Weren’t they supposed to travel together?

Immediately, Huo Feng hurriedly made a WeChat call to Ye Qingcao.

Ye Qingcao was much more obedient; she picked up the call the moment it came through, which is the kind of efficiency that reassures people!

"Hey, Brother Feng! You’re already on the train!"

Ye Qingcao had just liked Huo Feng’s Moments not long ago, so she knew that Huo Feng was on his way to Hangzhou.

In a couple of hours, it would be her turn to depart, and at this moment, Ye Qingcao was still packing her luggage in the dormitory, completely unaware of the purpose of Huo Feng’s call...

"Qingcao, what’s Sangzhi doing? Tell her to take my call! Don’t always keep your phone on mute; it makes me anxious when I can’t reach people!"

Huo Feng started ranting as soon as he spoke, furrowing his brows. Thᴇ link to the origɪn of this information rᴇsts ɪn 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵·𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮·𝓷𝓮𝓽

Ye Qingcao was also slightly confused, taking several seconds to respond, "Why are you asking me about Sangzhi? Isn’t she with you?"

Huo Feng frowned, "How could she be with me? She said she was riding in your relative’s car!"

Ye Qingcao immediately retorted, "I asked her to leave with me last night, but she said you had already bought the tickets and wanted to leave with you!"

"You, you’re the one talking nonsense! She didn’t leave with me! She, she said it was your relative who had a car and was taking you guys over! She wanted to leave with you, she... pah!"

Huo Feng became so frantic that he couldn’t speak properly anymore; he simply spat out in exasperation to calm himself down!

And after he calmed down, silence fell on both ends of the phone...

For nearly ten seconds, neither Huo Feng nor Ye Qingcao spoke; both were engulfed in silence.

Finally, it was Ye Qingcao who snapped out of it first!

Ye Qingcao immediately dropped the half-packed luggage in her hands and stood up straight, "She told me she was leaving with you, and she told you she was leaving with me! Now you’re already gone, and I’m still packing; this means she hasn’t left yet! We both left her behind!"

"It’s not that we left her..."

Huo Feng took a deep breath, black eyes showing shades of fear, "It’s that she tricked us..."

It was at this moment that Ye Qingcao truly realized what had happened, "I’ll call her right away! Gotta hang up, Brother Feng!"

Ye Qingcao was quick-witted. As soon as she figured it out, she already had her next move planned.

So she immediately hung up on Huo Feng and quickly dialed Pu Sangzhi’s number.

But the result was the same as with Huo Feng; Pu Sangzhi didn’t answer her calls...

Ye Qingcao kept calling several times, non-stop, continuing to dial if there was no answer!

Indeed, Pu Sangzhi didn’t pick up any of her calls...

After calling more than a dozen times Ye Qingcao decided to call her mother, asking her to rush home and see if Pu Sangzhi and her daughter were still there.

At that moment, Xu Hui, who was working at the shoe factory, received the call and found herself in a flurry of activity...

Pu Sangzhi and her daughter were no longer at her house!

With all the to-and-fro, time had quietly slipped by; more than an hour had passed.

In the anxious wait of over an hour, everyone was ultimately forced to accept the reality that the mother-daughter duo had left without saying goodbye!

Ye Qingcao, still at the Longxiang School girls’ dormitory, immediately started to cry in panic.

Xu Hui drove around Rui’an City frantically searching for the mother and daughter.

Huo Feng, sitting on the high-speed train, was enveloped in a dark mood.

He held his phone, staring numbly at the motionless screen.

He had sent Pu Sangzhi many messages, so many messages, probably over 99 of them!

At first, he was angry, sending many heartless words! There were even curses and ruthless words of cutting ties!

The tone started to soften, apologies began, he started to admit his mistakes...

By this moment, Huo Feng’s last message even had a pleading tone.

What he sent was: [What am I going to do if you leave? Do you want to see me dead? If you do... I can die for you to see.]

At this moment, Huo Feng’s soul seemed to have left his body.

He could only sit there dumbly, his mind a whirlwind of chaos, awash with despair...

He’d never imagined facing such abandonment, being so casually discarded by her, so easily severed.

He had thought, after a year of being together, that she would be unable to leave him.

He even regarded himself as part of her family, wishing he had broader shoulders to bear all her family’s disasters.

During this crisis, he worried himself sick for her, trying every possible way.

He tried so hard to keep her, to protect her, to take care of her...

He had already laid his heart bare for her.

To be repaid with absence without leave...

In this moment, Huo Feng felt incredibly stupid... incredibly foolish!

Already abandoned, yet his heart still thought of her, longed for her, worried about her safety?

Those debt collectors won’t let her go...

Once she’s away from this place, where would she find another Huo Feng to protect her ?

In this world... there would never be another Huo Feng.

How could she be so foolish...
