"Could there be spies around here?"
No sooner had he finished speaking than someone next to him muttered a rebuke.
"What nonsense are you talking about? If you're going crazy, don't drag me into it. How can you say such things?"
"I... I was just guessing randomly, wasn't I?"
The room erupted into chaos again, and Liu Weimin's face darkened even more.
Jian Dan, along with her two children, Mingzhu, and a few other educated youth, are currently together. Over the years, they have come to know Liu Weimin quite well.
"Why does this seem like something really serious?"
"I felt it too. Look at the village chief's face, it's so dark, like he's about to eat someone."
"Don't worry about the villagers. We need to keep a low profile lately. We must avoid any conflicts with them. Just do our jobs well and then come back and stay put."
Even the village chief is so nervous. And look at the back, Liu Erye, Liu Sanye, and those village cadres, their faces don't look good either, they don't smile at all.

Although Jian Dan also felt that he was innocent, she really didn't realize that she had other thoughts, and she couldn't possibly do anything against her own will. Faced with Ling Weidong's mostly normal, occasionally resentful eyes, she just pretended not to understand.
Now that they've met, they asked about the recovery of his injuries, just like everyone else. Ling Weidong's expression remained unchanged, as calm as ever.
"There's no problem. It's been so long, it's already recovered. Don't worry."
He can tell the difference between sincerity and pretense.
