Chapter 429: The Silent Road
Yang Jian had a long talk with Zhang Fen, filled with ordinary family small talk.
"Son, I heard there was some chemical leak in Dachang City last time, causing serious pollution and a big commotion. Is that true?" Zhang Fen asked with a hint of mystery, "I heard it seemed like there was going to be a war, with planes and armored vehicles being sent over."
"..." Yang Jian didn’t know where his mother got such a mixed-up piece of gossip.
Even talk of war had popped up, could there be someone online deliberately spreading these false messages?
"It’s not a war, I don’t know exactly what happened, but the school suspended classes, and I moved out of Dachang City with my classmates to take refuge outside the city," Yang Jian lied.
Zhang Fen seemed to understand, "No wonder I couldn’t reach you by phone, only getting updates through the authorities. Now I heard Dachang City is back to normal, how come? Aren’t you going to school and instead came to J City?"
"Mom, I can’t go to school anymore; the school is closed. Even if I wanted to, I couldn’t study," Yang Jian said helplessly.
"How can that be, why doesn’t the government take care of it?" Zhang Fen said in surprise.
Yang Jian replied, "They can’t handle it, too many schools and students to arrange for. Unless I transfer to a different place, but I missed the college entrance exam date. If I were to transfer now, I’d have to repeat a year, so I might as well temporarily drop out and wait for notification next year."
