Bai Rou'er spoke up for Bai Ting and was locked in the woodshed by the group. Bai Rou'er immediately called Zhang Fan, but the call was overheard and her phone was confiscated.
Zhang Fan narrowed his eyes dangerously: "It seems the punishment for this group was too lenient."
Since there were many of them, he couldn't go too far, otherwise it would easily arouse the suspicion of the police.
Perhaps sensing Zhang Fan's emotions, not long after, Ji Zhi suddenly widened his eyes, stared at the rearview mirror, and shouted, "It seems that Baijia Village is on fire!"
