Qin Luo had considered all of the previous points, but she truly hadn't thought of this last one.
"Is this really that outrageous? Hasn't the government taken any action to rectify the situation?"
"Rectify? How can we rectify them? The Qin family is like a local tyrant in Weisi County now, and they have Xiaoyu and Qi Yong protecting them in the capital. Who would dare to provoke them?"
