Chapter 569: Scaring Everyone
“Little girl, why are you hitting her?”
Mo Qian was from the village. The few people whom Father Zhao called over to help knew Mo Qian. They were all frightened when they saw Yan Jinyu’s sudden actions.
Yan Jinyu turned back calmly and looked at the person who spoke.
Her emotionless gaze made the burly man who spoke instantly fall silent. The other burly men who were about to speak up were also stunned for some reason. They were all stunned by her gaze.
Everyone present was silent.
Yang Jun’s jaw dropped in shock.
He had seen Yan Jinyu jump down from above with his own eyes just now. He thought that Yan Jinyu would also be injured or even possibly…
When he came here, he saw that other than the sleeves of Yan Jinyu’s shirt being gone, she was unscathed. Before he could heave a sigh of relief, he saw Yan Jinyu get up and walk towards Mo Qian, who was beside him.
He was about to ask Yan Jinyu if she was injured when he heard the sound of a slap.
At that moment, he was so frightened that his voice was stuck in his throat. He was stunned for a long time.
Chu Xiaohuan, Qin Xuan, and Zhao Qian had seen Yan Jinyu’s skills when she dashed into the forest like a ghost and disappeared instantly. Now that they saw Yan Jinyu slap someone without a word, their reaction wasn’t as drastic as the others’.
However, they were undoubtedly shocked.
Yan Jinyu glanced at them and retracted her gaze calmly. She looked at Mo Qian, “We don’t take you seriously, but you’re really good at making your presence known.”
“Y-you dare to hit…” Mo Qian covered her swollen face and wanted to glare at Yan Jinyu angrily. However, when she met Yan Jinyu’s clear and calm eyes that exuded an inexplicable frightening aura, her voice froze, and she didn’t dare to glare anymore.
She didn’t even dare to meet Yan Jinyu’s gaze directly.
“I-I don’t know what you’re talking about!”
“You don’t know?” Yan Jinyu sneered and glanced at Yang Jun, “You witnessed the entire process. Please repeat it again.”
Yang Jun was stunned when he suddenly met Yan Jinyu’s emotionless eyes.
He couldn’t describe what he felt either. However, he actually felt his scalp tingle when he met Yan Jinyu’s eyes. He quickly moved his gaze away and didn’t dare to look into her eyes again.
Her gaze was clearly not very sharp.
He wondered where this feeling came from.
Seeing that everyone was looking at him after Yan Jinyu finished speaking, Yang Jun glanced at Mo Qian and ignored her warning. He said what he saw.
“We discovered a herb on the slope when we were picking herbs. Schoolmate Zhao asked us to wait on the road and she went to pick it herself. The slope is not easy to walk on and it’s a little slippery. It’s our first time going up the mountain, so we didn’t follow Schoolmate Zhao to prevent dragging her down.”
“Schoolmate Zhao is very familiar with picking herbs and there shouldn’t be any danger. However, just as she was about to walk back after picking the herbs, Mo Qian shouted that there was a snake under Schoolmate Zhao’s feet. She even shouted that Schoolmate Zhao had stepped on a snake.”
“The slope was already steep and not easy to walk on it. Mo Qian shouted in shock and frightened Schoolmate Zhao, so she accidentally slipped and rolled down the hill. My buddy reacted quickly and rushed over to stop her, but he still could not stop her from falling. The two of them rolled down the hill together.”
“Look, you guys can see them now too. Schoolmate Zhao and my brother are sitting on the ground injured and can’t stand up. I wonder if their injuries are serious.”
“You don’t know this, but this buddy of mine is the youngest in his family. His elders dote on him. If anything happens to him, I’m afraid…”
Jiang Xianyou glanced at him, and Yang Jun stopped himself.
“That’s what happened. It’s all thanks to Mo Qian that Schoolmate Zhao and my buddy became like this.”
“Mo Qian, it’s really you!” Father Zhao’s expression was very ugly.
He knew that Mo Qian was not as well-behaved as his daughter, but he did not expect Mo Qian to be so bad!
“Do you know that you’re committing murder?! If Linlin and Student Jiang weren’t lucky and Student Jinyu didn’t rush over in time today, do you know the consequences?”
“This is called indirect murder. You have to go to prison!”
Mo Qian’s face turned pale.
She looked at the burly men for help, but no one cared about her. They looked at her with disbelief and disgust.
She then looked at Jiang Xianyou and saw the scratch on his body. Mo Qian retracted her gaze as if she had been electrocuted.
She was the one who caused Jiang Xianyou to be so seriously injured…
No, no, no, no. It was Zhao Linlin! It was all Zhao Linlin!
If it wasn’t to save Zhao Linlin, Jiang Xianyou wouldn’t have been injured at all. It had nothing to do with her!
Yes! That was it!
It had nothing to do with her!
B-But, no one was on her side in this situation. What should she do…
Just as she thought that, Mo Qian saw three people behind Qin Xuan and Chu Xiaohuan. Her eyes lit up, “Brothers, I…”
They were the people that Yang Jun asked her to call.
All three of them were her cousins.
“Qianqian, was what that boy said true? You deliberately frightened Linlin, that’s why she rolled down the hill?” The man in the lead said.
The man was about 25 or 26 years old. Because he worked in the fields all year round, he was very burly and had dark skin. His darkened face was very scary.
“B-Brother…” This was the cousin that Mo Qian was most afraid of. Mo Qian thought that they didn’t hear Yang Jun and wanted them to stand up for her, but she heard the man’s words.
She trembled in fear.
“Is what he said true?”
“I-I…”
“From the looks of it, you should be. How can our Mo Family have such a vicious thing like you? I wanted to say that our Mo Family can be considered to have produced university students since you’ve gotten into university, but look at what you’re doing now? You’re getting worse as you study!”
“Brother, it’s not like that. They’re in cahoots. They’re trying to set me up. Don’t believe them. I’m your sister. You should believe me!”
“Set you up?” Yan Jinyu sneered. She sized her up and looked down at her. “Do we need to set someone like you up?”
Without seeing Yan Jinyu’s actions clearly, they only saw the sickle in Yang Jun’s hand appeared in her hand when she turned her palm. She then dashed forward and placed it on Mo Qian’s neck.
“It’s so easy to take your life. Do I still have to frame you?”
Mo Qian’s legs went limp.
However, she did not dare to kneel down because the sickle was on her neck. She was afraid that she would be injured by the sickle if she knelt down.
The others were also frightened.
“Jinyu, don’t…” Zhao Linlin was a little far away, but she could also sense the killing intent emanating from Yan Jinyu.
“Jinyu, don’t be rash. Let’s talk nicely.” Father Zhao’s face turned pale.
He had never seen such a situation in his life.
Yan Jinyu glanced at them before continuing to look at Mo Qian. She asked again, “Did we set you up?”
How could Mo Qian dare to spout nonsense again? She hurriedly shook her head. “No, no, no, it’s me! It’s all my fault! I was the one who frightened Zhao Linlin, that’s why she rolled down the hill! Y-you, don’t mess around. If you hurt me, you won’t get any benefits either…”
“Are you sure?” The sickle got closer to her.
“No, no, no. I was wrong! I was wrong! Please let me off! I won’t dare to do it again! I won’t dare to do it again!”
“Why are you scaring Linlin? What deep hatred do you have with her that you have to kill her?”
“I-I didn’t want to kill her. I-I just saw that Senior Jiang was close to her and wanted to teach her a lesson. I never wanted to harm her…”
Yan Jinyu glanced at Jiang Xianyou.
The others also looked at Jiang Xianyou.
Their gaze was all complicated.
One of these complicated gazes was Yang Jun’s.
Yang Jun was shocked at first, but then he understood.
So, that was the reason. No wonder.
Was he jealous? Yang Jun wasn’t jealous at all.
He wasn’t even envious.
Mainly, Mo Qian wasn’t worth it at all. Moreover, Yang Jun didn’t think that his relationship with Jiang Xianyou would change because of a girl.
“…” Jiang Xianyou, who was inexplicably implicated.
“You’ve never thought of harming her?” Yan Jinyu looked up at the steep hill in front of her. “Then, why don’t I let you roll down from above too?”
Suddenly, she smiled faintly. It was a bright and innocent smile. “Don’t be afraid. I’m not asking for your life. I just want to teach you a lesson. Besides, I suddenly feel that this idea is not bad. Why don’t we go up now and I’ll push you down to experience Linlin’s earlier feelings?”
Mo Qian shook her head in fear.
Yan Jinyu patted her face with the sickle. “You still dare to fight with us with that little courage? You should be glad that this is your village and Linlin is only lightly injured. Otherwise, even if you’re still alive, you’ll definitely lose an arm and a leg.”
She retracted the sickle and handed it back to Yang Jun.
Yang Jun took it in a daze.
Mo Qian’s legs went limp and she knelt down.
Yan Jinyu looked at the stunned crowd and blinked. She looked innocent and harmless. “What are you all waiting for? Linlin and Schoolmate Jiang are injured and I have only bandaged them casually. Let’s go back first.”
“J-Jinyu…”
Zhao Linlin felt like her blood was about to freeze.
At that moment, she really thought that Jinyu wanted to take Mo Qian’s life.
“Are you scared? It’s fine. I’m just scaring her. It’s a life for a life. I’m not that stupid to sacrifice myself for such a stupid thing. I can’t give her too much face. Otherwise, she might do it again and again.”
“Zhao Qian, give the basket to Xiaohuan. Come carry your sister.”
“Oh.” Zhao Qian was really shocked.
However, he was completely Yan Jinyu’s fanboy now.
Since Yan Jinyu had spoken, he did as she said without thinking.
Seeing this, Yang Jun handed the sickle to someone else and walked over to carry Jiang Xianyou.
Jiang Xianyou felt a little disgusted, but only Yang Jun was suitable to carry him here.
“J-Jinyu…” Father Zhao said hesitantly.
He felt that this girl was really ruthless by using the most harmless expression to do the most ruthless thing.
“Uncle, I’m sorry. Did I scare you just now? You saw it too. She wanted to harm Linlin. I was right too. If Linlin wasn’t lucky and there were big stones or wooden stakes in this area, you would have seen two corpses when you rushed over.”
Father Zhao’s heart skipped a beat and his body swayed.
That was indeed the case.
If Linlin wasn’t lucky…
“If I don’t teach her a lesson, she won’t learn her lesson. You all came from the same village. She might attack Linlin again. No matter how bold she is now, I’m sure she won’t dare to harm Linlin again.”
Glancing at Mo Qian, who was still trembling in fear and kneeling on the ground, Yan Jinyu smiled and asked, “Mo Qian, do you agree?”
Mo Qian trembled even harder under her gaze.
No one knew better than her that Yan Jinyu wasn’t scaring her at all just now. She really dared to kill her even if she wanted to!
At that moment, she clearly sensed Yan Jinyu’s killing intent!
Also, Yan Jinyu said that she should be glad that Zhao Linlin was only lightly injured and that this was their village.
Then, did Yan Jinyu mean that if Zhao Linlin was seriously injured, or rather, this wasn’t their village but the capital or somewhere else, she would really be like what Yan Jinyu had said—she would be missing an arm and a leg even if she could still live?
She was really afraid!
She was jealous of Zhao Linlin, but she didn’t dare to kill her! At that moment, she only wished that Zhao Linlin would disappear. She regretted it too when she realized it!
She would be responsible if Zhao Linlin died!
She would have indirectly killed someone!
She didn’t dare to kill anyone, but Yan Jinyu did!
So, what could she use to fight with them?
“No, I don’t dare anymore. I won’t dare to do it again! I was wrong this time. Please forgive me this time. I’m sorry. I was wrong. I was wrong…”
“You shouldn’t be apologizing to me. Instead, you should be apologizing to the person who was injured by you.”
Zhao Qian had already carried Zhao Linlin up.
When Mo Qian heard Yan Jinyu’s words, she looked at Zhao Linlin. She was indignant…
“Why? Are you unwilling to say it?”
Now, Yan Jinyu’s voice was like a death warrant for Mo Qian.
Whenever she heard Yan Jinyu’s voice, she would shiver in fear.
“No, no, I’ll say it, I’ll say it!” She took two steps forward and knelt down. “Zhao Linlin, I’m sorry. I was wrong. I promise I won’t dare to do it again. I hope you can forgive me!”
“Mo Qian, if you switched positions with me, would you choose to forgive me?”
“No, you won’t.”
“So, Mo Qian, what right do you have to make me forgive you? I’m not a good-tempered person, but Jinyu has done everything I want to do. In addition, my hand is injured, so it won’t hurt enough if I slap you. I’ll forget about it this time. If there’s a next time, it won’t be as simple as a few slaps!”
“Dad, let’s go back.”
As she spoke, Zhao Linlin nodded at the burly men. “Thank you for your help, uncles.”
Those people quickly said things like “glad that she was fine” etc.
Just as the few of them were about to leave, the leader of the three Mo brothers said, “Uncle Zhao, I’m sorry. It’s Qianqian’s fault this time. We’ll call my Third Uncle and ask him to teach Qianqian a lesson. We’ll also ask him to give your family an explanation. We won’t miss a single cent of the medical fees that should be paid.”
Father Zhao felt bad that Zhao Linlin was injured, but he wouldn’t vent his anger on others.
However, although he wouldn’t vent his anger on them, he couldn’t still give the Mo Family a good attitude after his daughter almost lost her life.
He nodded expressionlessly. “Alright, you guys go back too.”
As they walked back along the path that was created with the sickles, a burly man asked Yang Jun if he could carry Jiang Xianyou and if he needed his help. Yang Jun thanked him and declined.
After they left, the three brothers of the Mo Family, including the cousin whom Mo Qian had called to pick her up yesterday and had changed his mind at the last minute, did not treat her nicely now.
“What are you waiting for? Do you want to stay here for the new year? I’ve never done anything outrageous in my life. You’re really capable. You actually dare to kill someone!”
“I-I didn’t…”
“You still want to argue? You’ve disgraced our Mo Family! So many people saw it today. I wonder what the rumors will be like when we return to the village. Do you still want to live in this village in the future? Does our Mo Family still want to live here?”
“Why didn’t you get stabbed by that girl just now…”
“Alright, let’s go back first,” the oldest brother interrupted him.
The few of them felt a lingering fear when they thought about the girl doing the most ruthless thing with the most harmless expression.
