At the back of the crowd, Xu Qingqing tiptoed towards the Pan family's house, but couldn't make out anything no matter how she looked. She could only glean information from the cacophony of voices in the crowd to determine where things were at.
She hadn't originally intended to come, but the soup took a long time to cook, and she got a little bored while waiting. Coincidentally, the commotion caused by the Pan family was quite significant, so she became somewhat interested.
She quietly slipped into the crowd without attracting anyone's attention, which led to the scene just now.
The commotion inside was quite loud. Xu Qingqing, with her ears tucked in, heard screams from men and women and the terrified cries of children, which drowned out Pan Laoda's roars.
"Oh dear, this is terrible! What if something happens in here?"
Many of the people who heard the child crying were worried that something might have happened inside and asked the reporter with concern.
A young couple standing in front of Xu Qingqing, filled with a strong sense of justice, urged the others around them to rush in and subdue Boss Pan.
"Listen to me, everyone. The situation inside is extremely serious right now. We need to work together to help our comrades get out of there. We can't just stand by and watch several lives disappear before our eyes."
The crowd surrounding them looked at the young couple with strange expressions, and moved their feet to the side, distancing themselves from them.
The young couple assumed that everyone else shared their sense of justice and would rush in immediately to prevent the emergency from escalating, as long as they spoke.
But when he saw everyone's indifferent reaction, he was utterly disappointed and his eyes burned with anger. He shouted, "The situation inside is critical! Don't you have any conscience? Are you just going to watch the people inside die without doing anything to stop them? There are children in there!"
"Fine, you are all cold-blooded animals. As your fellow countrymen, I really despise you."
After speaking, everyone felt ashamed in the face of the young couple's angry accusations.
"I am ashamed. I never thought I, Old Zhu, would become such a cold-blooded person, watching others in danger without offering any help. I am truly unworthy of being a fellow countryman. Today, I must stop this tragedy."
He rubbed his hands together, eager to get started, and walked inside.
Everyone's emotions were instantly ignited, and in order not to become the cold-blooded animals others described, they all walked forward.
Whether they were put on the spot and had no choice but to act depends on their individual thoughts.
Xu Qingqing couldn't help but applaud the young couple. It's hard to say how eloquent they were, but judging from the emotions that stirred up everyone, it could be considered a kind of eloquence.
Why are you still here?
Just as Xu Qingqing was lost in thought, the young couple saw her standing still, looked angry, and started to scold her.
Xu Qingqing: "..."
Where else could she be if not here?
Seeing that she remained silent, the young couple, standing on their high ground, became angry and confronted her: "Everyone else is trying to stop it, how can you stand here without doing anything?"
What?
Xu Qingqing pointed to herself, looking at the young couple with the same look she had for a lunatic: "Are you two crazy? Why should I care about other people's business? Whether they live or die is none of my concern. I have no connection with them, we're not related, why should I do something so thankless?"
"Besides, why should I help the enemy who harmed me? If you're so capable, why don't you go instead of inciting others to go?"
