Confrontation with the Teacher

Liu Hua's frustration overflowed as he exclaimed, "Li Pan, you've already accomplished your plan. Why be afraid now? You even fabricated lies right in front of the teacher!"

Li Pan's roommates, defending her, chimed in, "Teacher, Li Pan is telling the truth. We all stayed behind to help her pack her belongings."

Jiang Rong felt a growing headache. Qing Shui's claim left her puzzled; she couldn't discern the truth in the moment.

"Are there any other students in the classroom?" she inquired.

"No, Li Pan shut the classroom door after everyone else left," came the reply.

Anxiously, Li Pan interjected, "Teacher, if Xia Wan wanted to leave, she would have left earlier. Why wait until the classroom was empty? It's clear she stayed on purpose."

Frustration caused Liu Hua's chest to rise and fall rapidly as he retorted, "You're twisting the facts. You intentionally made Xia Wan stay. You even mentioned wanting to harm her!"
