Chapter 1271: To Do Her Justice (3)
"Our lives here have never been easy, so we should live as a family and help each other. We should fight against our common enemy and not among ourselves, especially due to petty reasons. He or she, as a pest our community, must be investigated to prevent any further rumors."
Huang Shangxiang’s expression changed. "How... How do we go about the investigation?"
Luo Zhangyu answered, "Easy. The entire village only has 41 people, including Gu Xijiu. Everyone only has to make a face-to-face confrontation. Madam Leng, from where have you heard about the rumor?"
When he was serious, his presence would easily intimidate the people surrounding him. Moreover, they respected him a lot, so they were willing to obey his instructions. Hence, one after another, they started pointing out from where they had heard the rumor. The last person left was Huang Shangxiang! Her face turned pale, and she was trying to push the blame to someone else, but she could not point out the next person.
Everyone in the village was present except for the ones in the expedition team. She could accuse any one of them without being found out.
Determined, she pointed out a name from the expedition team at random. She thought that his absence would help her get through her current situation.
To her surprise, Gu Xijiu pursed her lips and responded softly, "I will bring him here now."
She turned and disappeared instantly.
Huang Shangxiang did not know how to react.
