A construction-crazed girl who had just maxed out her infrastructure game suddenly found herself pulled into another world with her max-level skills. She landed in a desolate, sparsely populated to...
==================
Lian Yun and Jamie quickly chased after them, but the three men seemed to have planned it in advance and ran incredibly fast.
When they chased out, they could no longer see the person.
"Sir, what should we do?" Jamie looked at Lian Yun anxiously.
It's all my fault for being so poor in skills. If I had half of Lord Lana's ability, I wouldn't have been able to even touch the edge of his clothes.
"Don't worry," Lian Yun said patiently, "Go out and take a look."
After the two of them left the hospital, Lian Yun asked Jamie to calm down and wait for a while.
Fortunately, Jamie's anxious mood lasted less than two minutes, and he saw Lanner walking out from the back street.
He was followed by five or six guards, and two of the three people who escaped were tied up and held up behind him.
"Sir." Lanna came in front of her and threw the two of them to the ground.
Following Lian Yun's orders, he took his guards and ambushed around the yard in advance.
As luck would have it, one of them happened to run into the spot where Lanna was waiting, and the other was surrounded and caught by five guards.
"So you know that what you did is shameful, yet you still have the nerve to run away?" Lian Yun said with a smile.
The commotion here attracted the attention of the neighbors, and soon people gathered around.
The two men had bruised faces and noses, and they were gritting their teeth and tilting their heads, looking as if they would never confess.
Someone whispered, "What did these two people do wrong?"
Even though the guards have changed their uniforms, they patrol frequently and residents can recognize several familiar faces.
Perhaps because the news about the guards' "indiscriminate killings" had spread too widely recently, when the guard turned around and looked at the person who was speaking, the person was frightened and quickly shrank back into the crowd.
No, we can't let them misunderstand.
Lian Yun and Lana looked at each other and nodded at the same time.
"Dear neighbors, we are here on the orders of the city lord to arrest these bad guys who are disrupting social order!" the black-haired noble girl said loudly.
The crowd was talking among themselves for a while, and soon someone asked, "What did they do?"
Lian Yun lowered his head and looked back and forth between the two of them. When he raised his head again, his expression was completely different.
All I could hear was her grief-stricken, heartbroken voice: "They deceived orphans and widows, used a frail mother's life as a threat, and forced a filial and sensible boy onto a path of no return; they induced young, ignorant, and innocent little girls to have their hands stained with blood; they caused people who were already struggling to survive to lose their families, making the already difficult life even more difficult. What do you think? Should they be arrested?"
After hearing these words, the scene fell into complete silence, and Lian Yun could even hear his own slightly heavy breathing.
She was so engrossed in the story that she unconsciously got involved in the emotions.
Gradually, the crowd began to talk again.
Finally, someone whispered, "It sounds... a bit like the three murders this month."
"Yes, I'm talking about the family situations of the deceased in these three cases. In all three families, there are people who made the deceased worry and care about them, but they were willing to give up their lives and their families' futures for the sake of an illusory possibility."
"...You're on the side of the defenders, so naturally your words are biased."
Suddenly, such a sentence came out from the crowd.
Lian Yun narrowed his eyes slightly, concentrating on finding the person who was speaking in the dense crowd.
"You're only saying this to justify the guards killing people!"
"That's not the case..." someone retorted weakly.
"Of course not! And I don't think the dead were necessarily good people. If they really had no bad intentions, they wouldn't have done those things... There's no one in my family with bad intentions... I don't think you're a good person for speaking for them."
Lian Yun couldn't help but feel angry. She suppressed her anger and said, "Really?"
"You're being too absolute. The girl hasn't said anything yet." Someone in the crowd finally couldn't stand it anymore and shouted.
Lian Yun sneered, staring in the same direction as the three sentences. "If my explanation of 'someone was secretly plotting, and both the guards and the victims were innocent' was justifying the guards' murder, then your rebuttals must be excuses for your underground organization, right?"
The people around exclaimed and started looking for the person who had just spoken.
There was a sudden commotion. Lian Yun watched as the crowd parted into a path and a man in a hat was running away quickly.
Lian Yun glanced sideways and looked at the crowd again: "The deceased certainly made mistakes. The mistakes they made were real and cannot be changed. But they received the punishment they deserved. But what about those who secretly manipulated these things? They are unharmed and are even looking for their next prey."
Like maggots, they cling to people's flesh and bones, greedily and darkly sucking the blood of the dead.
Lian Yun raised his voice and asked, "I would like to ask everyone present, who doesn't have a family? If these evils are not eradicated, who can ensure that the next victims will not be our children, our husbands, our wives and children?!"
No one wants to be targeted and coveted.
Everyone started discussing again.
Listening to the detailed discussions, Lian Yun felt that the wind was turning towards justice.
Suddenly, Lian Yun felt a chill on his back.
Someone is watching me.
She turned her head sharply, looking for the malicious and sinister peeping person.
"Sir, what's wrong?" Lana asked in a low voice.
Lian Yun shook his head and looked away.
"Are you following the orders of the city lord?" someone in the crowd asked.
Lian Yun quickly glanced at the other person and seemed to see... distrust in his eyes?
Lian Yun paused, about to nod in response. After a moment's deliberation, she changed her tune: "To be precise, I'm just a passerby. I borrowed troops from the city lord because I was short of manpower. I intervened simply because I saw injustice and didn't want the city to be destroyed. So, all this talk of guarding and favoritism is nonsense to me."
The man seemed relieved: "I see."
Lian Yunfu continued, "I think that person just now was from that organization. He said something on purpose to distort your thinking."
If it hadn't been spoken too hastily and filled with loopholes, even the onlookers wouldn't have noticed something was wrong.
"You're so kind. Who would have thought that something like that would sneak into our lives..."
The girl should be the most innocent person in this matter. As neighbors, when they hear two sides arguing at the same time, they always tend to favor the person next to them psychologically.
If that person misleads them slowly, they might be misled and end up blaming the girl wrongly.
"It's not just me," Lian Yun smiled. "I know everyone has good intentions, but I hope others won't take advantage of their kindness."
Everyone quickly agreed.
"Next, in order to prevent them from doing anything wrong, we need everyone to help each other. Please go to every corner of Kuoge City as much as possible and tell your relatives and friends what happened today, what you saw, heard, and understood, so that they won't be deceived."
"They may have already targeted some families in need. If you feel that someone around you is showing this tendency, please contact me immediately. I'm at the hotel on Central Street. Once the information is confirmed, I will send someone to help deal with it."
Everyone nodded: "Sure! Let's go now."
This battle has turned into a matter of life and death for the entire city, and the first group of people who heard the live version of the "truth" have developed an unshirkable sense of responsibility.
Lian Yun believed that even if he didn't mention it, they would go from door to door to spread the word.
At this time, the two guards who had not appeared appeared, riding a man wearing a hat.
Everyone's eyes fell on that person, and someone immediately recognized him as the one who had just led the trend, and they all stepped back.
The man shrank his neck and his eyes were wandering.
Lian Yun didn't make things difficult for him. After all, frontline personnel like these who were in the spotlight had no right to know, and might not even know where the base was.
But she was slightly disappointed that this was not the man with the pointed chin and monkey face from before.
However, this further proves that their "comment control" action is not done by one person, but is organized.
And from the swiftness of these people's actions, it can be seen that they are highly targeted and purposeful.
Lian Yun recalled the feeling of being stared at just now.
Cold and vicious.
It was noticed.
How long can she keep her identity as a "noble lady" secret?

Counting my fingers and mumbling: Jinjiang collapsed yesterday
Yes, that must be the reason.
So there was only one increase!
I hope everything is safe in Henan!
