Song Lili didn't say a word at this time. Her goal was to prevent the elderly from being taken away. Now that Luo Juan had given in, she wouldn't bother to step forward and make an unnecessary appearance.
Let the elderly go home first, and she'll think carefully about what to do next.
So, Song Lili sneaked up to Li Weiguo and asked, "Uncle Li, can we ask them to release the others now? Didn't Luo Juan say there was no evidence?"
"Of course we can't take them away without evidence. They're still tied up right now," Song Lili said coldly.
To be fair, she's also very protective of her own people. She only bullies her own people; she doesn't allow anyone else to bully them.
So, seeing the elderly people tied up, she would have liked to go up and beat those people up if she could.
However, reality simply doesn't allow it.
Li Weiguo glanced at the old man being held tightly by several young people, frowned, and stepped forward. "Since there's no evidence, shouldn't these people leave?"
“I told you long ago that they work hard here and haven’t slacked off at all. Why don’t you believe me?”
“I will not allow you to arrest people without any evidence. I am the secretary of Hongqi Village. I did not come here to tell you that you are arresting people for no reason.”
“Now that they’ve come to Hongqi Village, I have to take responsibility for them. So next time, bring evidence, or I’ll really report them to the Revolutionary Committee.”
“This isn’t the first time you’ve done this without evidence. There’s a limit to how many times you can do this. I hope you can think this through.”
"So, can they leave now?" Li Weiguo asked, looking at the young soldiers holding the elderly men.
Those people, of course, had no idea. They looked at each other, but no one spoke; they all stared at Luo Juan.
This made Luo Juan so angry that her lungs ached. She said irritably, "Let them go, why are you still holding them? Don't you have no evidence? Do you want to make a mistake?"
That impatient tone made their faces turn pale and then red, making for quite a spectacle, and it also made them feel resentful.
They couldn't help but criticize Luo Juan in their hearts. She was the one who ordered them to arrest the person, but in the end, it became their own mistake.
How could they possibly be at peace with themselves? So, some people were looking at Luo Juan with angry eyes, but they were rather subtle, and the currently agitated Luo Juan didn't see them.
With Luo Juan speaking up, the elderly people were put at ease, and Song Lili went over to help them out of the crowd.
Then, after they were far away from that group of people, Song Lili said, "Grandpa and Grandma, you should go back now."
"After this incident, Luo Juan won't dare to cause you any more trouble next time. And next time, I estimate that many people in the village will object."
We've all heard the story of the boy who cried wolf. If someone lies too often, who will still believe a person who's always spouting lies?
Therefore, Luo Juan's work in Hongqi Village will become increasingly difficult and challenging.
Of course, Song Lili was happy to see that result; she probably would laugh herself awake in her sleep.
"Okay, girl, be careful." Qian Xianming said hurriedly, and quickly left with the elderly.
They all knew in their hearts that leaving as quickly as possible was the best course of action.
Song Lili waited until they were out of sight before returning, now completely in a spectator's mindset.
Her problem has been temporarily resolved; now it's up to Luo Juan to figure out how to resolve it.
“Since Team Leader Luo has said so, then I’ll gladly accept. I’ll trouble Team Leader Luo to come with me,” Wu Yi said with a smile.
Then, as he was about to lead his men into Hongqi Village, Luo Juan stopped him again, saying, "Team Leader Wu, there's no need to make another trip. Just ask me."
“I know everything about my brother, so you don’t need to make an extra trip and waste your time.” As she spoke, she forced a smile.
Song Lili couldn't help but twitch her eyebrows. How could Luo Juan be so arrogant when asking for help? Where did she get her confidence from?
Is her sense of superiority derived from graduating from high school? Are you out of your mind?
Song Lili couldn't understand it no matter how hard she tried. Could graduating from high school really bring such a sense of superiority?
Therefore, Song Lili hasn't yet integrated into this era and doesn't realize how much power a high school diploma can have.
So, she was looking at Luo Juan as if she were a fool.
Luo Juan felt that she had already lowered her own status considerably, otherwise Wu Yi would not have been qualified to hear this at all.
So, after saying that, she looked at Wu Yi with an expression that said, "I've given you a great deal," which made Song Lili's lips twitch.
"This isn't a good idea. After all, we need to investigate thoroughly before we can speak on this matter. Isn't it said that you have no right to speak without practical experience? I must investigate myself."
"No need, what I said is definitely true. You can ask the people in the village, and they'll say the same thing as me, so there's no need to go through all that trouble."
"Team Leader Wu, let's talk in town. It's so late, it's not good to stay in Hongqi Village any longer. Everyone needs to rest."
Wu Yi gave a sarcastic smile, though it was hard to see clearly in the slightly inky sky. "Alright, Team Leader Luo is a good comrade of ours, I believe you."
“You’re right. Let’s go back to town first. It’s not good to disturb everyone like this. Let’s go.”
Wu Yi felt that was enough. This time, he had made Luo Juan suffer a setback, after all, he had come to help.
He's already figured out Luo Juan's weakness, and as long as Luo Yuejin is alright, he can grab her anytime.
Therefore, there is no need to rush.
And so, the group of people returned in a grand procession, taking Luo Yuejin with them, and went to Hongqi Town.
Song Lili and the others watched Luo Juan and the others leave. Li Weiguo then wanted everyone to disperse and go home to sleep.
However, Song Lili stopped her. She told Li Weiguo about the brainwashing she had mentioned earlier, and she felt that this was a great opportunity.
After all, the Red Guards had just left, and their influence was still there. Strike while the iron is hot to achieve the best results.
After listening to Song Lili's advice, Li Weiguo's eyes became deep and unfathomable, like a bottomless pit, with no end in sight.
In Li Weiguo's heart, a hurricane had already swept through every corner, causing it to tremble and nearly collapse.
He never expected that this young girl would say such shocking things, which seemed unbelievable, but upon reflection, her actions were perfectly reasonable.
But such a clever method... did this girl really come up with it? How could she have thought of it? She's just a native of Hongqi Village!
Or was it that someone else told her these things, and was just using her as a mouthpiece to say them, rather than something she herself thought of?
