"I guess Jiang Che is young and inexperienced, so he was tricked by you guys." The person who spoke had a sarcastic look on his face, a sarcastic arc at the corner of his mouth, and his eyes were full of disdain.
Seeing that truckload of salt, everyone thought that it was because the living environment in Jiang Che’s territory was bad that this group of people tried every possible way to escape.
There was certainty and self-righteousness in their eyes, as if they had already seen through all the truth.
Although they are also happy to show off their current life to these people.
With a smug look on his face, he excitedly talked about his own superiorities.
But when they saw the reluctance on the faces of the family members who were being taken away, they became angry.
The anger in my heart was instantly ignited. People are living well here, why should we balance the population because of your calculations?
In today's world, empathy is easy.
Those who were sentenced to death by just a few words were speechless and could only stare at each other.
His eyes were filled with anger and grievance, but it was like a lump in his throat, and he couldn't utter a single word.
Let them call themselves deserters and traitors... Those harsh words were like sharp knives, ruthlessly stabbing their hearts, but they were powerless to refute.
They had no way to prove that Jiang Che's life was better.
Even though I have thousands of words in my heart and countless facts to support them, at this moment, it feels like I'm under a spell and I can't speak.
If I were given another chance, I would never leave.
"I'll give you a chance. Go back and don't force our people to leave." After saying this, the man walked out, with heavy and determined steps, striding towards the direction of the bus.
His eyes were fierce and determined, like an enraged beast.
This time, he wanted to intercept.
He is now at the eleventh level, which is considered to be quite powerful in this territory.
He could see that those who were forcibly dragged onto the bus didn't want to leave at all!
These people around me don't want to suffer and run away, why should I exchange with them?
Guo Xu still needs to rely on him to fight, so he should be able to agree to send back those who escaped.
He was thinking this in his mind, feeling confident that Guo Xu would not offend him.
Don't let the people in our territory go to Jiang Che to suffer.
"Wait!" A loud shout rang out, exploding in everyone's ears like a thunder.
"Take your people away and leave our people behind!" The person who spoke had a righteous look on his face and glared at Xiong Jie fiercely.
"They don't want to suffer over there, so is this what our people should have to bear?" His voice became louder and louder, filled with endless anger and questioning.
"Although I don't know him, he came from our side anyway."
Xiong Jie looked behind him and saw the dozens of people who were driven away waving their hands. "We didn't say that. We didn't say anything."
"They didn't say anything. I just think our people shouldn't have to bear the consequences for their mistakes." The visitor was filled with righteous indignation and seemed to really want to rescue the people.
The family members who were about to be taken away also pulled their children, looking nervous and conflicted, "Yes, we won't leave, and you guys stay too. You see they are all willing to go back to atone their sins, so let's stay here." As they spoke, they held the children's arms tightly with both hands, as if they were afraid that the children would be taken away if they let go.
Hearing this, the people who were driven away were so excited that they almost knelt down to Xiong Jie on the spot.
"If they don't want to go to Brother Che's territory, we are willing to go back." They shouted at the top of their lungs, with eager desire in their voices.
"We will apologize to Brother Che and won't do this again." They nodded desperately, their eyes full of sincerity and regret.
Xiong Jie was silent, while Guo Xu was completely confused, his eyes widened, his mind in a mess, and he had no idea what was going on. He thought that the people who came out would be happy to stay with him.
Although I only arranged a four-person room for them, it was already very good conditions.
He couldn't understand why this group of people still looked like they wanted to leave.
"Get lost and shut up!"
"Mom, hurry up and get on the bus. The number of people on this trip has been registered and there are no seats for them." A young man pulled his mother with an anxious look on his face and squeezed into the bus.
"Yes, if they want to come out on their own, they can stay here." Someone echoed, with a hint of indifference and determination in his voice.
Several people grabbed their family members and dragged them forcefully, with incredible strength in their hands, as if they were afraid that the children would run away if they let go.
They were dragged into the car roughly and hastily, with no regard for their family members' struggles and cries.
Guo Xu was dumbfounded and stood there blankly. He looked at those people who asked to go home. He always felt that the situation was a little different from what he thought.
He had thought these people would be happy to stay.
He looked at his wife and children in the car. They were sitting in the corner, at a loss as to what to do and did not dare to get out of the car. This time they had come out secretly.
Guo Xu's eyes were filled with complex emotions, including worry, guilt, and a hint of helplessness.
Xiong Jie patted him on the shoulder.
"There may be no seats left if you get off the bus." After he said that, Guo Xu was slightly stunned.
Guo Xu looked at the two figures and the people who were dragging his family members into the car.
For some reason, he suddenly felt that he had made the most important decision.
He took a deep breath, as if he had made up his mind, and his eyes gradually became firm.
"Let's go."
"If something happens later, can you promise to send the person back to me?"
Xiong Jie nodded, "It's guaranteed to be delivered."
He glanced at the group of people being driven away and said, "Don't worry, I will plead for you when I get back."
The people at the scene were dragged into the car quickly. They really didn't understand why their children had to go to Jiang Che by themselves.
There weren't many seats to begin with, and in just a moment, all the people were seated.
Until the bus left, the man who had just spoken was also confused. He widened his eyes and looked at the dozens of people behind him with confusion.
"You want to go back?" He was puzzled, and his voice unconsciously rose a few degrees. "Didn't they try every possible means to get out?"
"What's the point of going back to a place where there's not even salt?" His tone was filled with doubt and disdain.
"I definitely want to go back..."
"Who said we tried every possible means to get out..."
"And who said there was no salt?" another person retorted, a little excitedly.
"Isn't this what your leader wants?"
"Brother Che must be useful to us. We have plenty of resources." Several people nodded vigorously, their eyes full of expectation, waiting for Jiang Che to forgive them and take them away. (End of this chapter)
