Mo Yan naturally thought of that too, and as she watched Wang Dali quibble with the villagers, her eyes narrowed dangerously.
Wang Dali, under attack from the villagers, was gradually losing his ability to fend them off and hurriedly turned to the watching government officers, saying, "Gentlemen, the beast is hidden in the Mo Family’s residence.
