Qin Hongxia walked in front, Luo Juan followed behind, and behind them were Red Guards who were holding down several elderly people.
Song Lili didn't stop them anymore and followed behind them. Zhang Qinghua, Li Weiguo, and others were also there, along with the rest of the villagers who were just watching the spectacle.
Song Lili calculated in her mind that the time should be about right, so she let Luo Juan go and left.
It all depends on who comes together first and who compromises.
If Wu Yi arrives quickly, they will meet in Hongqi Village; if she arrives late, she will be outside the village.
No matter what, we'll eventually run into each other.
It would be even better if Wu Yi could capture Luo Yuejin.
At the entrance of Hongqi Village, which is also the Third Brigade, the two groups unexpectedly, yet seemingly inevitable, met.
Moreover, Wu Yi really did have Luo Yuejin in her hands, bound hand and foot, and she brought many more people than Luo Juan.
Luo Juan was so focused on chasing after Qin Hongxia that she didn't see it at all, nor did she care to look.
Luo Yuejin was anxious, and as he looked around, he saw Luo Juan. He then shouted as if he had seen a savior, "Sister, sister..."
Wu Yi also saw Luo Juan, so she slowed down and did not stop Luo Yuejin from shouting.
His purpose in coming here was for Luo Juan, so how could he not ask Luo Yuejin for help? Otherwise, how would he start the conversation?
Of course, Wu Yi also saw Song Lili, but she simply nodded slightly as a greeting.
Zhang Qinghua noticed this when Wu Yi nodded, so he lowered his head and whispered to Song Lili, "Is this the person you found to help you?"
Song Lili nodded, "He's Brother Qian's friend, and he readily agreed to help."
Zhang Qinghua scoffed, "Where is the 'easy' attitude? I think it's because these two have a grudge that he agreed so readily."
"Huh? Really? I didn't notice?" Song Lili asked, somewhat surprised, because she really hadn't noticed.
Then, he clapped his hands happily, "That's really great! I was worried that Wu Yi wouldn't do his best, but now it's all good. The enemy of my enemy is my friend."
"Since we share the same goal, I'm not afraid that he's just scratching the surface and won't actually touch Luo Juan. This is going to be a good show."
Song Lili was happy to see that Wu Yi and Luo Juan were at odds.
Therefore, she didn't care what grudges or grievances existed between the two people; as long as the elderly people were safe today, that was all that mattered.
Sure enough, Luo Juan was furious when she heard Luo Yuejin's voice, looked up and saw him bound hand and foot and being held down by so many people.
She rushed over angrily, glaring at Wu Yi, "Wu Yi, what do you mean by this?"
Wu Yi smiled at Luo Juan and said, "I received a report that Luo Yuejin is a thief who once stole grain from the village warehouse, so I came to investigate."
"If it's really as the whistleblower described, then they need to be properly re-educated; petty theft is unacceptable."
Looking at Luo Juan's distorted and angry face, Wu Yi felt a surge of satisfaction, and all the pent-up frustration she had felt for so long immediately dissipated.
Ever since Luo Juan returned from the Great Cultural Revolution, she has used the excuse that she has learned a lot to suppress him in every way, and she has also treated those who were criticized and struggled against very cruelly.
Wu Yi couldn't stand it, but the people above trusted Luo Juan and always adopted her suggestions, which made Wu Yi very uncomfortable.
In Wu Yi's heart, although she felt that those people should also be re-educated, they did not deserve the beatings and insults.
Therefore, he and Luo Juan were on opposite sides, which made him feel frustrated for a long time.
So when Qian Liulin came to him for help, Wu Yi thought that he would stop going against Luo Juan and go find someone else.
Out of sight, out of mind; he decided to pretend he knew nothing, which is why he agreed to Qian Liulin's request for help.
But who could have imagined? Such a coincidence! The person Qian Liulin asked him to help deal with turned out to be Luo Juan, his mortal enemy.
After hearing Qian Liulin's plan, Wu Yi agreed without even thinking.
He was happy as long as he could find something to use against Luo Juan, and he felt good when he saw Luo Juan's furious expression.
After Qian Liulin left, he sent people to inquire about Luo Yuejin's whereabouts, hoping to find Luo Yuejin as quickly as possible.
Who could have imagined it would happen so quickly? He had only learned of Luo Yuejin's whereabouts a little over an hour ago, and then someone came to tell him that he needed help.
Wu Yi was about to leave work at that time, since it was already dinner time. Even if they were to start a revolution, they still needed to eat.
However, a teenage boy stopped him at the gate and asked about Wu Yi, so Wu Yi had to stop and ask him.
With that question, he knew everything. Upon hearing that it was something he had promised before, he immediately turned around and went to call someone without saying a word.
When he was ready and found Luo Yuejin in a village not far from Hongqi Village, he saw Luo Juan running out in a hurry.
Wu Yi's eyes were full of laughter at this moment. She glanced at the struggling Luo Yuejin and deliberately let him see Luo Juan.
That's why the scene we just witnessed happened.
"Who reported this? Make him come out here..." Luo Juan glared at Wu Yi through gritted teeth.
Song Lili couldn't help but ask, "Oh, didn't you say you couldn't tell anyone about the whistleblower for fear of retaliation? Why are you asking who the whistleblower is now?"
"Are all your rules just for people like us? To you, they mean absolutely nothing?"
"I just want to ask, are all the rules of your Revolutionary Committee so double-standard, and are they targeted at people?"
"Why can't we ask, but you can? Or are you saying that if you ask the whistleblower, you won't be retaliated against?"
"I don't think so, do I? That person reported your own brother. You're not going to retaliate against that person? Is that really possible?"
Given Luo Juan's narrow-mindedness, if she really found out who reported her, that person would be doomed; Zhou Jiaming is the best example of that.
So, no retaliation? That's out of the question.
Song Lili's words echoed the sentiments of many: "Yeah, why can you ask us but we can't?"
"Oh, so you said you couldn't say when we asked, but you can ask about your brother? Aren't you being shameless?"
"Ha, this girl is two-faced. She doesn't care about the rules even with her own people? In that case, I don't trust her."
"So those people who were criticized by her before were really wronged, right? I think they were definitely wronged. With her black heart, maybe those people had offended her."
Many of the people who had originally been watching the spectacle from behind now pointed at Luo Juan without any restraint and loudly expressed their opinions.
Song Lili listened with a smile, then looked at the elderly people in front of her, feeling incredibly happy.
