Jiang Xia knew that now was not the time to quarrel. This matter had to be reported to the village chief. It was important to let the village chief know that there were packs of wolves in the mountains, which could threaten the villagers at any time.

She agreed with Zhou Lan’s words. She had to force the Sun couple into a dilemma and make them follow her to see the village chief.

“Fine, let’s go find the village chief together,” she declared.

Sun Li’s wife’s expression changed. “No, why should we go just because you say so? We won’t listen to you!”

Jiang Xia tilted her head and looked at her with her eyes shining under the moonlight. “But you said that we are feeling guilty, yet we aren’t. That’s why we want to see the village chief. Could it be that you are the one feeling guilty and don’t dare to go with us?”

This was a tricky statement to respond to. If they said they wouldn’t go, didn’t that indirectly admit their guilt and fear?

But if they agreed to go, Sun Li and his wife really couldn’t explain why they had gone up the mountain in the middle of the night.

Sun Li’s wife looked troubled. With no good options, she adopted a softer tone, as if coaxing a child. “It’s not that we don’t dare to go, but it’s late at night, and the village chief must be resting. We can’t disturb his rest, can we?”

Jiang Xia wouldn’t give them an opportunity to dodge. “No, considering our pace, by the time we get back it will be dawn. The village chief is very diligent. He wakes up as soon as it’s light. We definitely won’t disturb him,” she asserted.

Seeing that soft tactics weren’t working, Sun Li was ready to get tough. He handed what he was holding into his wife’s arms. Only now did Jiang Xia understand why Sun Li had been dawdling here: his hands had been occupied.

Sun Li immediately freed his hand and prepared to attack Zhou Lan and Jiang Xia. He was a burly man. Could he not take care of two women, one old and one young?

Seeing his stance, Zhou Lan guessed his intent and sneered coldly, “How shameful for a man to lay hands on a woman!”

With that, Zhou Lan adopted a martial stance. With her years of martial arts training and her current strength, she could easily take down Sun Li.

In just two or three rounds, Sun Li was defeated. He was thrown over Zhou Lan’s shoulder and landed heavily on the gravel road. His back hit the potholes on the gravel road, and Sun Li cried out in pain.

Zhou Lan pulled him up and tied his hands behind his back with the straw rope Jiang Xia used to bind small animals.

Sun Li never expected Zhou Lan to be this formidable. With his hands tied, he could not escape and could only surrender.

Seeing her husband bested, Sun Li’s wife became more frightened and fell silent. She stood at a distance, clutching a large bundle, clearly panicked.

Zhou Lan cast a cold glance at her and said, “Let’s go.”

Sun Li’s wife, not daring to resist further, staggered after them.

Their group didn’t walk quickly. To delay, Jiang Xia even pretended to trip over stones several times. By the time they entered the village, the sky was beginning to lighten, and villagers were preparing to go to the fields.

Sun Li, with his hands tied, was a conspicuous sight.

The villagers all knew that Sun Li was close to the Jiang family, and that the old Jiangs had a feud with Jiang Chuan. Seeing Sun Li and Zhou Lan together suggested that something had happened.

Some curious villagers followed to see where they were heading. Sun Li’s wife wished she could bury her head in shame. The bundle in her arms seemed to move a few times, increasing her panic.

Xiao Wu was preparing to work his field early and then planned to go to the mountains with Xiao Li. On his way, he encountered Zhou Lan and the others, and immediately rushed to inform Jiang Chuan.

The group stopped in front of the village chief’s house. Sun Li’s wife thought that if she apologized now, she might be able to escape before the situation escalated further.

But Jiang Xia didn’t give her a chance to react and directly knocked on the village chief’s door. From inside, they heard a voice, “Coming.”

Jiang Xia then heard the sound of the wooden door being opened..
