"Alright, I understand."

"Where are you now? I'll be right there!"

Zhao Tienan put down his chopsticks, realizing that tonight's plans would have to be canceled.

There's no choice; Xu Dapeng has taken the conversation to this level, and if Zhao Tienan ignores it, it would indeed be inappropriate.

Besides, there was a hint of guilt in Zhao Tienan's heart.

If he had agreed with Xu Wenjing to deal with Zhu Liangjun and Meng Han together, maybe this fiery girl wouldn't have gone to extremes.

Sigh...

Life is truly unpredictable, just when one wave settles, another rises.

Speaking of which, those two shameless people aren't good people either.

The two of them deceived Xu Wenjing for so long, trampling her feelings as if they were garbage.

If it were Zhao Tienan, he couldn't guarantee he would control his temper either.

From any perspective, Zhao Tienan decided he would help out.

"You two go ahead and eat, then get some rest early."

"I suddenly have something very important to take care of, so I won't be able to accompany you."

"Another day, another day I'll make it up to you all!"

Zhao Tienan immediately stood up and said apologetically.

"Okay, Mr. Zhao, you go ahead, but make sure to stay safe."

"Yes, if there's anything we can help with, feel free to call us."

The two girls were quite bright; they had picked up on some things from the conversation, so they sensibly let Zhao Tienan go.

A few minutes later, under the old elm tree at the entrance of Fengshan Village.

Xu Dapeng was pacing anxiously, his facial features contorted with worry.

Her sister was sitting on a large stone, holding a pair of bloody scissors, with dried bloodstains on her face.

Even so, she looked defiant, like a warrior ready to risk her life, prepared to exchange life for life.

"Nan, you're finally here."

"I'm completely at a loss, my brain can't function anymore. Tell me what to do now?"

Upon seeing Zhao Tienan, Xu Dapeng rushed over with a tearful face, asking desperately.

"How could someone let Small Facing Heaven Pepper do something so big and not keep watch over her?"

Zhao Tienan raised an eyebrow, speaking in disbelief.

"The village chief and villagers are busy saving people, with no time to watch her. They just told me to make sure she doesn't harm anyone else."

Xu Dapeng pursed his lips, his words coming out so rapidly that blisters formed on his mouth.

"Small Facing Heaven Pepper, do you regret what you've done?"

Zhao Tienan looked at the girl, whose stubbornness carried a touch of tragic beauty, and asked softly.

"There's nothing to regret. They wronged me first; they deserve it."

Xu Wenjing rubbed her nose, resentfully saying.

"You're still so reckless..."

Zhao Tienan shook his head with a bitter smile, then said loudly, "If no one's watching, what are you waiting for? Run away, hide somewhere for a while, see how things develop, then we can figure out the next steps."

"Do you really want to end up in jail?"

Zhao Tienan decisively provided Xu Wenjing with what was, for the current situation, the best solution.

"Run?"

"Easier said than done. Where can we run to now? Besides, we don't have any money, we'll starve if we leave."

Xu Wenjing grumbled, as if resigned to her fate.
