Zhang Qinghua's words were met with immediate and widespread agreement; as soon as he finished speaking, many people echoed his sentiments.
"Yes, we absolutely cannot let this go this time. We must be given an explanation."
"Exactly! These people come here every few days to cause trouble. Why should we just obediently put up with it?"
"Exactly, it's only been a few days since that happened, how come they're back again? I think these people need to be taught a lesson."
“Yes, let’s go to the town to report it. I don’t believe that no one will care and let them run rampant.”
Zhang Qinghua's words immediately ignited a firestorm, angering many people and reminding them of the frustration and sadness they felt that day.
Right now, everyone here—those whose homes were vandalized, whose families were arrested, or whose family graves had been disturbed—couldn't help but say something.
Once the first person spoke up, countless followers followed, and it seemed like there was no stopping them.
In the end, everyone reached a consensus: "Yes, we must go to the town to demand an explanation, and we should also make that leader from yesterday speak." Many people said loudly.
As if their pent-up anger had found an outlet, everyone spoke with great emotion.
The people Luo Juan brought were also frightened, and they looked helplessly at the surrounding villagers, not knowing what to say.
Finally, someone noticed Luo Juan standing there silently and quickly came over. "Team leader, what should we do?"
When one person asks, it's like reminding others that they can only rely on Luo Juan now.
Therefore, all the Red Guards looked at Luo Juan and said, "Yes, team leader, what should we do? If they really go to town, it will be difficult to explain to Director Wei."
Everyone still vividly remembers Wei Ming's furious outburst a few days ago. If the people from Hongqi Village come knocking on their door again, then...
Thinking about the final consequences, some people felt a chill run down their spines.
In the end, they will definitely suffer a more gruesome death.
As you can imagine, many people couldn't stay calm and looked at Luo Juan anxiously, hoping that she could find a solution.
But what could Luo Juan do at this moment? She couldn't think of a solution either.
If those books are found in Zhang Qinghua's house, then everything can proceed smoothly.
Unfortunately, they couldn't find anything that could be used as evidence, not even a single thing to use as a pretext.
What is she supposed to do now?
Luo Juan bit the little bit of flesh inside her lip; no one could know the anger in her heart.
"I had no choice." In the end, she had to tell everyone the unfortunate news.
A bitter feeling welled up inside her. Had she underestimated her opponent again? She had thought that a surprise attack would succeed effortlessly, but instead, she had ended up in a predicament.
Now, it seems she can't stop it anymore.
The news she revealed truly plunged the Red Guards into despair. Were they really going to go to the town?
Some people hesitate to speak, their eyes revealing a compromise that cannot be seen directly, yet they dare not say it aloud.
Some people, however, stubbornly pretend not to care, even though they are terrified inside.
Song Lili just kept watching, observing the wonderful and diverse performances of the people Luo Juan brought.
Seeing Luo Juan's helpless expression, Song Lili felt very pleased and happy.
So she revealed it without reservation, her face beaming with a big, radiant smile.
"Song Lili, don't be too happy yet," Luo Juan said through gritted teeth. Seeing Song Lili's smug smile, she couldn't calm down.
“I’m just happy. You’ll find out soon enough whether it’s early or not, so shut up now. I don’t want to talk to you,” Song Lili said, squinting her eyes.
"You...you think I want to talk to you? Don't try to make yourself look good," Luo Juan shouted angrily.
"Hmph," Song Lili snorted coldly, "I advise you to think about what you should do now. What's the use of arguing with me? I don't even bother talking to you."
She had no interest in kicking someone when they were down; she just wanted to watch them stumble and fall into misery.
"Are you really planning to go to town?" Song Lili stopped paying attention to Luo Juan and instead asked Zhang Qinghua.
"Yes, even if there's no result in the end, we must make our stance clear," Zhang Qinghua said softly.
Old grudges haven't been settled, and new ones have emerged. How could he possibly remain indifferent?
"Where is Wei Ming going too?" Song Lili asked uncertainly. Was this really going to cause such a big fuss?
“Since we’re already there, and it’s not far, let’s take a stroll around. I think everyone would be happy to do so,” Zhang Qinghua said with a smile, glancing around at the people around him.
Song Lili had to give Zhang Qinghua a thumbs up; he was truly brilliant, always eager to stir up trouble.
Based on today's situation, Zhang Qinghua probably realized that Luo Juan had been set up.
So he decided to play along and took the matter directly to the Revolutionary Committee. In any case, no matter who plotted against Luo Juan, it would ultimately be someone from there who would be held accountable.
Song Lili laughed along, "In that case, let's go. I'm also quite curious to see what the outcome will be this time."
However, the first person who should be able to guess who wouldn't be calm is probably Wei Ming.
But he deserved it.
Zhang Qinghua led the way out, and many people immediately knew his decision and followed without hesitation.
As we walked towards the village entrance, everyone we met would ask us a question, and most of them would follow behind.
So the line grew bigger and bigger, and it looked quite spectacular.
While in the Second Brigade, Song Lili spotted Xia Jun in the crowd, and she suddenly had an idea.
"Xia Jun, go to the office and tell the secretary what I said, and have him tell Brother Qian about the current situation."
Since we're going to cause a scene in town anyway, let's give Brother Qian a chance. Maybe he'll find a way to use it?
After hearing this, Xia Jun immediately ran away without even asking Song Lili why she said that.
Xia Jun's behavior surprised Song Lili, and after her initial surprise, she couldn't help but admire him.
Xia Jun is truly a smart person. At such a young age, he already has such awareness. His future is probably limitless.
If possible, she might be able to bring people to her side in the future, since they are all old acquaintances.
Watching Xia Jun's retreating figure, Song Lili unconsciously wondered if Brother Qian would be able to use this opportunity.
Whether or not it's useful, she can't help anyway, so she might as well go to town and see what happens. She can improvise, and who knows what interesting things might happen.
