“We really trust you this time. You see, we just took a quick look and came out. Chen Hongjun’s matter has nothing to do with us.”
"Yes, yes, this is Chen Hongjun's business alone, it has nothing to do with us."
"Yes, it has nothing to do with us."
"It has nothing to do with us."
As more and more Young Pioneers joined in, Chen Hongjun became the one who was isolated and helpless.
Some people were afraid that Song Lili would actually go to town to report her, so they didn't say a word and turned to leave.
Once the first person is identified, a second will inevitably follow, until all those who disagree with Chen Hongjun's actions leave.
In the Song family's courtyard, only two boys remained besides Chen Hongjun. These two boys were completely at a loss, looking helplessly at Chen Hongjun, waiting for him to make a decision.
But Chen Hongjun was in such a panic that he couldn't possibly give these two people any advice. So, in the end, only three people were left, looking at Song Lili helplessly.
Song Lili ignored Chen Hongjun and instead looked at the person who had been in the yard the whole time, but who was not as annoying as Chen Hongjun.
“I’m giving you a chance. If you don’t want to get involved in this, then leave now. If you still insist on staying with him, then don’t blame me for being impolite.”
Song Lili's voice was cold, and her expression was even colder; her words could freeze water into ice crystals.
The two boys shivered when Song Lili's voice came out, and one of them even touched his arm.
Upon hearing Song Lili's words, the boy who had touched her arm turned around and left without the slightest hesitation.
Another boy, who had been hesitant, immediately followed suit after seeing this boy's actions.
In the end, only Chen Hongjun remained standing firm in the Song family's courtyard, but his eyes had long since betrayed his unease.
Song Lili was fiddling with her neatly trimmed nails, which were round and small and cute.
"Since you're so eager to die, then I'll help you this once." The sinister words slowly escaped her lips.
“Last time, I let you go when you came to my house with Luo Juan to search it, but do you think I’ll be lenient this time?”
“If that’s what you think, then you’re wrong. This time, I will not tolerate it, and you will pay the price for your actions today.”
After Song Lili finished speaking, she turned around and went into the house. When she reached the eaves, she stopped and turned her head.
At that moment, Song Lili exuded an aura of authority and pressure that made Chen Hongjun feel nervous.
He swallowed unconsciously, licked his lips, and rubbed his hands together involuntarily.
"Oh, right, tell Luo Juan when you get back that I remembered this gift. In return, I'll give her a gift too, but I'll tell her not to be too surprised."
After saying that, he went inside, leaving Chen Hongjun standing blankly in the yard.
Chen Hongjun felt a sense of oppression as he faced an older person, and even more so, a deep-seated fear.
So when Song Lili turned her head just now, he didn't dare to say a word, or even breathe loudly.
Like a chick frightened by a pack of wolves, it stood obediently, listening to everything Song Lili said, and remembering it all.
After Song Lili entered the house, he breathed in the fresh air like a stranded fish.
He held his breath just now and almost suffocated.
His heaving chest testified to his earlier dishevelment and told him that his previous feelings were not an illusion.
Therefore, Chen Hongjun dared not stay here alone any longer, and he ran out of the Song family's courtyard with unsteady steps.
Chen Hongjun's mind was in complete turmoil. Song Lili's words were becoming clearer and clearer in his mind, as if they were engraved there.
Moreover, he had a premonition that what Song Lili said wasn't just empty talk; she was telling the truth.
What frightened him most was that Song Lili actually knew everything about the last time he had slandered her.
If she knew everything, why didn't she say anything before? Why did she speak up this time?
Also, what did she mean by what she just said? Did she mean that she could tolerate it once, but not twice?
So, what should he do?
If Song Lili really goes to the town to report him, what should he do? How can he avoid getting himself involved?
Team leader, will you help her?
All sorts of thoughts flooded his mind, making it impossible for Chen Hongjun to think.
But he instinctively went to find Luo Juan, or rather, he instinctively went to find someone who could help him.
"Team leader, what should we do? Song Lili said she's going to report me in town, and she also said that she accepted the gift this time and will return the favor to you."
Because he was flustered, his words were somewhat incoherent, but Luo Juan still understood that this was Song Lili's declaration of war.
"Did she really say that?" Luo Juan asked, her eyes narrowed and her face grim.
"Yes, that's what they said." Chen Hongjun was only thinking about getting Luo Juan's help at the moment, so he didn't notice the fleeting cold glint on Luo Juan's face.
"Ha," Luo Juan sneered. "Tit for tat? I'm waiting. I'm looking forward to seeing what kind of gift you'll give me. Or will it be the same threats as before?"
"Team leader, please help me! What should I do? Song Lili said she's going to report me to the town authorities. I'm all alone. What should I do? You have to help me!" Chen Hongjun looked at Luo Juan in a panic.
Luo Juan's eyes flashed with impatience, but she suppressed her temper and said calmly, "Don't worry, Song Lili won't go."
"Really?" These words were like a shot of adrenaline, calming Chen Hongjun's panicked heart slightly, and he looked at Luo Juan with anticipation.
"Of course, she's just a country girl. Do you think she would even think of reporting you to the town? Or would she dare to?"
"It seems like I really don't dare." Chen Hongjun calmed down immediately after comparing Song Lili with the country girls he had met before.
That's right, people from the countryside wouldn't dare to do that. They're all incredibly timid and would never do such a thing.
Besides, country folk are terrified at the mere mention of an official; they would never actually run into one.
Therefore, the team leader is right; Song Lili definitely wouldn't dare to do it.
After calming himself down, Chen Hongjun regained his composure and his earlier panic subsided.
Then, I felt a little contempt for Song Lili. All she did was talk big. If she was so capable, why didn't she actually go and report her?
