Lu Jue was also very flustered.

I'm afraid these ignorant country bumpkins will kill me.

Just as Lu Jue was worried about being silenced, a villager squatted down next to him and said loudly, "I just called my son who works in the provincial capital."

He said the man was driving a car with no roof and few seats, which he called a sports car, not a junk car.

My son also said that those kinds of cars are extremely expensive, easily costing millions, and that I should stay away from them if I see them, otherwise even a scratch would cost the other party tens of thousands of yuan to repair.

"Judging from this, this person is no ordinary rich man. Why don't we just throw him into the cave in the mountain to save ourselves the trouble?"

What if he retaliates against us later? His family is so rich; they could buy him a car worth millions.

Upon hearing this, the villagers immediately erupted in a cacophony of differing opinions.

Lu Jue's grandfather noticed that the village chief hadn't said anything, but was just frowning and puffing on his pipe.

Lu Jue's grandfather had also learned during his time in the village that anything in the village involving more than a few people was considered a problem.

Whether it's a big or small matter, the villagers' opinions alone don't count; the village chief has to give his approval first.

The village chief is the decision-maker.

So many villagers beat up Lu Jue because of this incident, involving dozens of people. It's no surprise that the village chief had to give the order.

The village chief didn't speak, and Lu Jue's grandfather didn't say anything either. He just listened quietly as the villagers offered one suggestion after another on how to deal with Lu Jue.

He would also occasionally hit Lu Jue with his cane.

Lu Jue's grandfather figured that since Lu Jue's life was safe, he might as well beat him up more. If Lu Chenfeng hadn't died this time, Lu Jue would still have a future, so this time he should teach him a lesson he wouldn't forget.

Perhaps he will be able to turn over a new leaf in the future.

Unlike his grandfather, who remained calm, Lu Jue was terrified when he heard the villagers say they were going to throw him into the cave.

Because Lu Jue and his friends had once come to explore a mountain near this village.

One of my companions accidentally fell into the cave.

Lu Jue and several of his companions watched as he fell into a hole less than one square meter in size.

Later, the rescue team went down into the cave and discovered that it was a network of interconnected caves and an underground river.

Later, the family of the person who fell hired many professional search and rescue personnel to search for six months in an area several kilometers around where he fell, almost turning the ground upside down.

But to this day, that person's remains have not been found.

His family has issued a reward notice, offering one million yuan to anyone who finds him, whether alive or dead.

It was through that incident that Lu Jue learned that the area around the village seemed normal on the surface, just like any other mountainous area, with nothing but mountains.

However, the mountains are full of caves, which are interconnected in all directions, and there are underground rivers everywhere. The caves are also very rugged, so almost no one goes there normally.

There are also many kinds of wild animals inside, such as lizards, snakes, large spiders, and various venomous animals that prefer shade.

Once inside the cave, Lu Jue, who had absolutely no wilderness survival experience, felt he would probably die within a day.

Years have passed and that person's body still hasn't been found. If it were my own body, my mother and the others wouldn't be able to find it either.

Wouldn't Mom possibly not even know how she died then?

Then there's no point in talking about avenging yourself.

You would die in vain, and your remains might end up stuck in some corner or crevices of the cave.

Or perhaps, before they died, they were eaten piece by piece by wild animals in the cave...

Being blind, coupled with Lu Jue's pre-existing fear of his unfamiliar surroundings, made him vulnerable.

As Lu Jue listened to the villagers, his mind began to wander uncontrollably, filling in the blanks...

Various terrifying speculations kept popping into Lu Jue's mind.

Amid the villagers' chatter, Lu Jue had barely wet himself from fright for five minutes.

Lu Jue was so frightened that she burst into tears.

"Waaaaah... I don't want to die! Waaaaah..."

"Waaaaah... I don't want to die, I don't want to be eaten..."

Lu Jue is a grown man, and a very arrogant, domineering, and lawless one at that.

Now, not only was he scared to death, but he also started wailing like a little baby.

At first, the villagers were completely bewildered by Lu Jue's reaction.

A moment later, Lu Jue's grandfather spoke to the village chief, who then whispered a few instructions.

The villagers began to stare at Lu Jue and loudly threaten him:

"If you don't want to be eaten, how about you get poisoned by the spiders in the cave?"

"If you don't want to die, then why did you deliberately run someone over with your car? Murderers should pay with their lives, that's only fair. You hit someone, and you have to pay the price!"

"Are you scared now? If the person you hit didn't survive, then you'll have something to be afraid of. They'll throw you into a cave full of poisonous snakes, spiders, and scorpions, and let them all poison you."

"I'll let you be slowly poisoned to death, and make you pay for the lives of those you killed..."

"Hey, little brother, don't be afraid! Show some of the spirit you had when you hit someone. Didn't you say there's nothing your mother can't handle?"

Then we'll see if your mom can smooth things over about you falling into the cave and get you out alive..."

As Lu Jue listened to the various sounds around him, his mind unconsciously followed their words, filling in the blanks in his head...

For the first time since hitting that man, Lu Jue felt regret.

For the first time in my life, I realized that there are things in this world that even my mother can't solve.

Lu Jue didn't think that if she were thrown into a cave, her mother would come and bring her out safely...

As Lu Jue imagined the villagers' threatening words, his whole body trembled uncontrollably.

Lu Jue's grandfather felt very sorry for Lu Jue, who was trembling like a leaf and crying loudly out of fear.

However, thinking about his future, Lu Jue's grandfather suppressed his heartache for him.

Instead of stopping the villagers, he kept whispering frightening things to them.

They used the villagers' words to intimidate Lu Jue.

A dozen minutes later, due to extreme fear, Lu Jue fainted from the shock of what the villagers were saying and what he had imagined.

Looking at Lu Jue lying on the ground like a dead dog, completely devoid of his usual handsome appearance.

Lu Jue's grandfather secretly wiped away his tears behind the villagers' backs.

Seeing that the village chief hadn't spoken, Lu Jue's grandfather, unsure of how the village chief would deal with Lu Jue, asked in a low voice, "Village chief, what do you plan to do with this person?"

"Are we really going to throw him into a cave in the wild?"

Upon hearing Lu Jue's grandfather's words, the white-bearded village chief, who was about the same age, took a puff of his pipe and said in a strong voice:
