This is such an established fact, he wants to see what this damn girl can come up with to refute it!
The corners of the Fifth Elder's mouth curled up proudly under his mask.
Too bad it didn't last long.
Then Shen Qiqi nodded and said, "Fifth Elder is right. I didn't save a single child. I saved 108 children."
One hundred and eight is exactly the number of all the abducted children.
The Fifth Elder's smug smile froze instantly. His eyes widened and he cried out, "You rescued one hundred and eight children? How is that even possible?!"
Those evil spirits were all very skilled in cultivation, and they were able to conceal their evil aura perfectly. That night, he secretly went to open the door for those evil spirits, and even though he was so close, he didn't sense any evil aura from those things!
How is it possible to find the hiding places of those evil spirits in such a huge city like Yuzhou in just one night?
Not to mention that all the abducted children can be rescued!
The fifth elder shouted, "That's impossible! You're lying!"
He was so excited that his voice was split and sounded particularly sharp.
What was even more coincidental was that the mask on his face suddenly fell off at this moment for some reason.
Without a mask to cover his face, his bumpy face and facial features were distorted by anger, and his shrill voice made people imagine a lot.
The elder of the Shen family, who had originally held out a glimmer of hope for the Fifth Elder, now witnessed the Fifth Elder's loss of composure with his own eyes, and his heart couldn't help but sink in his chest.
Normally, one should be very happy after hearing that the children were rescued.
For example, when they heard Shen Qiqi say that the children were rescued safely, they were so happy that they almost burst into tears.
But what was the reaction of the Fifth Elder?
The fifth elder was angry!
Why angry?
Because things didn't go as he wished!
In other words, the Fifth Elder actually didn't want Shen Qiqi to rescue all the children!
However, the first person who ran out yesterday and made a big fuss about saying that Shen Qiqi would definitely be able to rescue all the children was none other than his Fifth Elder!
The wolfish ambition is almost obvious!
Because the Fifth Elder was standing with his back to the people, although no one could see the distorted expression on his face at this moment, everyone was not a fool. They listened to the tone of his words and understood his intentions. Who couldn't hear the meaning behind his words?
He hopes that the children will die at the hands of evil spirits!
Those are hundreds of young lives. How can he be so cruel? He is worse than an animal!
Almost instantly, the parents of the children who had been abducted became furious and wanted to rush forward to beat and kick the five elders.
Fortunately, Shen Qiqi had told them to obey orders before they came, and Li Chengru stepped forward in time to quietly comfort them. The parents who almost lost their children finally held back their fists.
However, everyone has almost concluded by now: this Fifth Elder is most likely the traitor who is colluding with the evil spirits!
Shen Qiqi raised her eyes slightly, glanced at the Fifth Elder with disdain, and said lightly: "Is it possible? Just ask the people and you will know."
After saying this, she looked at the group of people below who were trying to suppress their anger.
The people who received her gaze immediately straightened their backs in excitement.
It's their turn!
The fifth elder also had this idea!
In his opinion, Shen Qiqi was lying to save face, but that also depended on whether the people were willing to give her this face!
Although he has no children in his life, we must know how important children are to their parents. There is no shortage of parents in the world who are willing to sacrifice their own lives for their children!
The Fifth Elder didn't even bother to pick up his mask and put it on. He suddenly turned and looked at the people below: "Everyone, what the Second Young Lady just said is true? Have all your children really been rescued?"
After he finished speaking, without waiting for the people to speak, he added: "Please speak truthfully and don't feel any psychological pressure. No matter what happens, this elder will definitely protect you."
If it were in the past, the people would probably be moved when they heard these words.
However, this was a different time. When the people heard what the five elders said, they were not moved but angry.
The masks on their faces have fallen off, revealing their hideous faces. Yet they still want to use them. They really think they are fools. How ridiculous!
