âLittle girl, why are you hitting her?â
Mo Qian was from the village. The few people whom Father Zhao called over to help knew Mo Qian. They were all frightened when they saw Yan Jinyuâs sudden actions.
Yan Jinyu turned back calmly and looked at the person who spoke.
Her emotionless gaze made the burly man who spoke instantly fall silent. The other burly men who were about to speak up were also stunned for some reason. They were all stunned by her gaze.
Everyone present was silent.
Yang Junâs jaw dropped in shock.
He had seen Yan Jinyu jump down from above with his own eyes just now. He thought that Yan Jinyu would also be injured or even possiblyâ¦
When he came here, he saw that other than the sleeves of Yan Jinyuâs shirt being gone, she was unscathed. Before he could heave a sigh of relief, he saw Yan Jinyu get up and walk towards Mo Qian, who was beside him.
He was about to ask Yan Jinyu if she was injured when he heard the sound of a slap.
At that moment, he was so frightened that his voice was stuck in his throat. He was stunned for a long time.
Chu Xiaohuan, Qin Xuan, and Zhao Qian had seen Yan Jinyuâs skills when she dashed into the forest like a ghost and disappeared instantly. Now that they saw Yan Jinyu slap someone without a word, their reaction wasnât as drastic as the othersâ.
However, they were undoubtedly shocked.
Yan Jinyu glanced at them and retracted her gaze calmly. She looked at Mo Qian, âWe donât take you seriously, but youâre really good at making your presence known.â
âY-you dare to hitâ¦â Mo Qian covered her swollen face and wanted to glare at Yan Jinyu angrily. However, when she met Yan Jinyuâs clear and calm eyes that exuded an inexplicable frightening aura, her voice froze, and she didnât dare to glare anymore.
She didnât even dare to meet Yan Jinyuâs gaze directly.
âI-I donât know what youâre talking about!â
âYou donât know?â Yan Jinyu sneered and glanced at Yang Jun, âYou witnessed the entire process. Please repeat it again.â
Yang Jun was stunned when he suddenly met Yan Jinyuâs emotionless eyes.
He couldnât describe what he felt either. However, he actually felt his scalp tingle when he met Yan Jinyuâs eyes. He quickly moved his gaze away and didnât dare to look into her eyes again.
Her gaze was clearly not very sharp.
He wondered where this feeling came from.
Seeing that everyone was looking at him after Yan Jinyu finished speaking, Yang Jun glanced at Mo Qian and ignored her warning. He said what he saw.
âWe discovered a herb on the slope when we were picking herbs. Schoolmate Zhao asked us to wait on the road and she went to pick it herself. The slope is not easy to walk on and itâs a little slippery. Itâs our first time going up the mountain, so we didnât follow Schoolmate Zhao to prevent dragging her down.â
âSchoolmate Zhao is very familiar with picking herbs and there shouldnât be any danger. However, just as she was about to walk back after picking the herbs, Mo Qian shouted that there was a snake under Schoolmate Zhaoâs feet. She even shouted that Schoolmate Zhao had stepped on a snake.â
âThe slope was already steep and not easy to walk on it. Mo Qian shouted in shock and frightened Schoolmate Zhao, so she accidentally slipped and rolled down the hill. My buddy reacted quickly and rushed over to stop her, but he still could not stop her from falling. The two of them rolled down the hill together.â
âLook, you guys can see them now too. Schoolmate Zhao and my brother are sitting on the ground injured and canât stand up. I wonder if their injuries are serious.â
âYou donât know this, but this buddy of mine is the youngest in his family. His elders dote on him. If anything happens to him, Iâm afraidâ¦â
Jiang Xianyou glanced at him, and Yang Jun stopped himself.
âThatâs what happened. Itâs all thanks to Mo Qian that Schoolmate Zhao and my buddy became like this.â
âMo Qian, itâs really you!â Father Zhaoâs expression was very ugly.
He knew that Mo Qian was not as well-behaved as his daughter, but he did not expect Mo Qian to be so bad!
âDo you know that youâre committing murder?! If Linlin and Student Jiang werenât lucky and Student Jinyu didnât rush over in time today, do you know the consequences?â
âThis is called indirect murder. You have to go to prison!â
Mo Qianâs face turned pale.
She looked at the burly men for help, but no one cared about her. They looked at her with disbelief and disgust.
She then looked at Jiang Xianyou and saw the scratch on his body. Mo Qian retracted her gaze as if she had been electrocuted.
She was the one who caused Jiang Xianyou to be so seriously injuredâ¦
No, no, no, no. It was Zhao Linlin! It was all Zhao Linlin!
If it wasnât to save Zhao Linlin, Jiang Xianyou wouldnât have been injured at all. It had nothing to do with her!
Yes! That was it!
It had nothing to do with her!
B-But, no one was on her side in this situation. What should she doâ¦
Just as she thought that, Mo Qian saw three people behind Qin Xuan and Chu Xiaohuan. Her eyes lit up, âBrothers, Iâ¦â
They were the people that Yang Jun asked her to call.
All three of them were her cousins.
âQianqian, was what that boy said true? You deliberately frightened Linlin, thatâs why she rolled down the hill?â The man in the lead said.
The man was about 25 or 26 years old. Because he worked in the fields all year round, he was very burly and had dark skin. His darkened face was very scary.
âB-Brotherâ¦â This was the cousin that Mo Qian was most afraid of. Mo Qian thought that they didnât hear Yang Jun and wanted them to stand up for her, but she heard the manâs words.
She trembled in fear.
âIs what he said true?â
âI-Iâ¦â
âFrom the looks of it, you should be. How can our Mo Family have such a vicious thing like you? I wanted to say that our Mo Family can be considered to have produced university students since youâve gotten into university, but look at what youâre doing now? Youâre getting worse as you study!â
âBrother, itâs not like that. Theyâre in cahoots. Theyâre trying to set me up. Donât believe them. Iâm your sister. You should believe me!â
âSet you up?â Yan Jinyu sneered. She sized her up and looked down at her. âDo we need to set someone like you up?â
Without seeing Yan Jinyuâs actions clearly, they only saw the sickle in Yang Junâs hand appeared in her hand when she turned her palm. She then dashed forward and placed it on Mo Qianâs neck.
âItâs so easy to take your life. Do I still have to frame you?â
Mo Qianâs legs went limp.
However, she did not dare to kneel down because the sickle was on her neck. She was afraid that she would be injured by the sickle if she knelt down.
The others were also frightened.
âJinyu, donâtâ¦â Zhao Linlin was a little far away, but she could also sense the killing intent emanating from Yan Jinyu.
âJinyu, donât be rash. Letâs talk nicely.â Father Zhaoâs face turned pale.
He had never seen such a situation in his life.
Yan Jinyu glanced at them before continuing to look at Mo Qian. She asked again, âDid we set you up?â
How could Mo Qian dare to spout nonsense again? She hurriedly shook her head. âNo, no, no, itâs me! Itâs all my fault! I was the one who frightened Zhao Linlin, thatâs why she rolled down the hill! Y-you, donât mess around. If you hurt me, you wonât get any benefits eitherâ¦â
âAre you sure?â The sickle got closer to her.
âNo, no, no. I was wrong! I was wrong! Please let me off! I wonât dare to do it again! I wonât dare to do it again!â
âWhy are you scaring Linlin? What deep hatred do you have with her that you have to kill her?â
âI-I didnât want to kill her. I-I just saw that Senior Jiang was close to her and wanted to teach her a lesson. I never wanted to harm herâ¦â
Yan Jinyu glanced at Jiang Xianyou.
The others also looked at Jiang Xianyou.
Their gaze was all complicated.
One of these complicated gazes was Yang Junâs.
Yang Jun was shocked at first, but then he understood.
So, that was the reason. No wonder.
Was he jealous? Yang Jun wasnât jealous at all.
He wasnât even envious.
Mainly, Mo Qian wasnât worth it at all. Moreover, Yang Jun didnât think that his relationship with Jiang Xianyou would change because of a girl.
ââ¦â Jiang Xianyou, who was inexplicably implicated.
âYouâve never thought of harming her?â Yan Jinyu looked up at the steep hill in front of her. âThen, why donât I let you roll down from above too?â
Suddenly, she smiled faintly. It was a bright and innocent smile. âDonât be afraid. Iâm not asking for your life. I just want to teach you a lesson. Besides, I suddenly feel that this idea is not bad. Why donât we go up now and Iâll push you down to experience Linlinâs earlier feelings?â
Mo Qian shook her head in fear.
Yan Jinyu patted her face with the sickle. âYou still dare to fight with us with that little courage? You should be glad that this is your village and Linlin is only lightly injured. Otherwise, even if youâre still alive, youâll definitely lose an arm and a leg.â
She retracted the sickle and handed it back to Yang Jun.
Yang Jun took it in a daze.
Mo Qianâs legs went limp and she knelt down.
Yan Jinyu looked at the stunned crowd and blinked. She looked innocent and harmless. âWhat are you all waiting for? Linlin and Schoolmate Jiang are injured and I have only bandaged them casually. Letâs go back first.â
âJ-Jinyuâ¦â
Zhao Linlin felt like her blood was about to freeze.
At that moment, she really thought that Jinyu wanted to take Mo Qianâs life.
âAre you scared? Itâs fine. Iâm just scaring her. Itâs a life for a life. Iâm not that stupid to sacrifice myself for such a stupid thing. I canât give her too much face. Otherwise, she might do it again and again.â
âZhao Qian, give the basket to Xiaohuan. Come carry your sister.â
âOh.â Zhao Qian was really shocked.
However, he was completely Yan Jinyuâs fanboy now.
Since Yan Jinyu had spoken, he did as she said without thinking.
Seeing this, Yang Jun handed the sickle to someone else and walked over to carry Jiang Xianyou.
Jiang Xianyou felt a little disgusted, but only Yang Jun was suitable to carry him here.
âJ-Jinyuâ¦â Father Zhao said hesitantly.
He felt that this girl was really ruthless by using the most harmless expression to do the most ruthless thing.
âUncle, Iâm sorry. Did I scare you just now? You saw it too. She wanted to harm Linlin. I was right too. If Linlin wasnât lucky and there were big stones or wooden stakes in this area, you would have seen two corpses when you rushed over.â
Father Zhaoâs heart skipped a beat and his body swayed.
That was indeed the case.
If Linlin wasnât luckyâ¦
âIf I donât teach her a lesson, she wonât learn her lesson. You all came from the same village. She might attack Linlin again. No matter how bold she is now, Iâm sure she wonât dare to harm Linlin again.â
Glancing at Mo Qian, who was still trembling in fear and kneeling on the ground, Yan Jinyu smiled and asked, âMo Qian, do you agree?â
Mo Qian trembled even harder under her gaze.
No one knew better than her that Yan Jinyu wasnât scaring her at all just now. She really dared to kill her even if she wanted to!
At that moment, she clearly sensed Yan Jinyuâs killing intent!
Also, Yan Jinyu said that she should be glad that Zhao Linlin was only lightly injured and that this was their village.
Then, did Yan Jinyu mean that if Zhao Linlin was seriously injured, or rather, this wasnât their village but the capital or somewhere else, she would really be like what Yan Jinyu had saidâshe would be missing an arm and a leg even if she could still live?
She was really afraid!
She was jealous of Zhao Linlin, but she didnât dare to kill her! At that moment, she only wished that Zhao Linlin would disappear. She regretted it too when she realized it!
She would be responsible if Zhao Linlin died!
She would have indirectly killed someone!
She didnât dare to kill anyone, but Yan Jinyu did!
So, what could she use to fight with them?
âNo, I donât dare anymore. I wonât dare to do it again! I was wrong this time. Please forgive me this time. Iâm sorry. I was wrong. I was wrongâ¦â
âYou shouldnât be apologizing to me. Instead, you should be apologizing to the person who was injured by you.â
Zhao Qian had already carried Zhao Linlin up.
When Mo Qian heard Yan Jinyuâs words, she looked at Zhao Linlin. She was indignantâ¦
âWhy? Are you unwilling to say it?â
Now, Yan Jinyuâs voice was like a death warrant for Mo Qian.
Whenever she heard Yan Jinyuâs voice, she would shiver in fear.
âNo, no, Iâll say it, Iâll say it!â She took two steps forward and knelt down. âZhao Linlin, Iâm sorry. I was wrong. I promise I wonât dare to do it again. I hope you can forgive me!â
âMo Qian, if you switched positions with me, would you choose to forgive me?â
âNo, you wonât.â
âSo, Mo Qian, what right do you have to make me forgive you? Iâm not a good-tempered person, but Jinyu has done everything I want to do. In addition, my hand is injured, so it wonât hurt enough if I slap you. Iâll forget about it this time. If thereâs a next time, it wonât be as simple as a few slaps!â
âDad, letâs go back.â
As she spoke, Zhao Linlin nodded at the burly men. âThank you for your help, uncles.â
Those people quickly said things like âglad that she was fineâ etc.
Just as the few of them were about to leave, the leader of the three Mo brothers said, âUncle Zhao, Iâm sorry. Itâs Qianqianâs fault this time. Weâll call my Third Uncle and ask him to teach Qianqian a lesson. Weâll also ask him to give your family an explanation. We wonât miss a single cent of the medical fees that should be paid.â
Father Zhao felt bad that Zhao Linlin was injured, but he wouldnât vent his anger on others.
However, although he wouldnât vent his anger on them, he couldnât still give the Mo Family a good attitude after his daughter almost lost her life.
He nodded expressionlessly. âAlright, you guys go back too.â
As they walked back along the path that was created with the sickles, a burly man asked Yang Jun if he could carry Jiang Xianyou and if he needed his help. Yang Jun thanked him and declined.
After they left, the three brothers of the Mo Family, including the cousin whom Mo Qian had called to pick her up yesterday and had changed his mind at the last minute, did not treat her nicely now.
âWhat are you waiting for? Do you want to stay here for the new year? Iâve never done anything outrageous in my life. Youâre really capable. You actually dare to kill someone!â
âI-I didnâtâ¦â
âYou still want to argue? Youâve disgraced our Mo Family! So many people saw it today. I wonder what the rumors will be like when we return to the village. Do you still want to live in this village in the future? Does our Mo Family still want to live here?â
âWhy didnât you get stabbed by that girl just nowâ¦â
âAlright, letâs go back first,â the oldest brother interrupted him.
The few of them felt a lingering fear when they thought about the girl doing the most ruthless thing with the most harmless expression.
