Chapter 21: Borrowing Power!
Editor: Henyee Translations
These people were not unfamiliar to Lin Suisui.
After being stopped and bullied by those bastards, Lin Suisui went back and asked Mrs. Luo and the others, who were familiar with her, about the situation. Therefore, she recognized the group of people surrounding them at a glance. They were the relatives of the five people who wanted to harm her.
It was also because of this relationship that these people had snatched the property of other refugees. Therefore, they were naturally punished by being whipped that time.
However, these people didn't think of finding fault with themselves. Instead, they blamed everything on Lin Suisui and her husband.
Actually, punishment was secondary to these people. What was important was that those who could bring wealth to the family had died at the hands of this couple in front of them!
They had died, but these two people were still alive and well. How could they not hate them?!
"What do you want?!" Lin Suisui was protected by Lu Ze, but she still insisted on sticking her head out from behind him. Her voice wasn't loud, but it was imposing.
"The officer said that if you guys cause trouble in the refugee camp again, he'll beat you guys to death!"
This wasn't because she was bluffing, but because Pei Qian had indeed instructed so. Therefore, it was a good excuse to use now!
However, the group of people blocking them clearly couldn't be frightened away so easily. After hearing Lin Suisui's words, the man in the lead sneered arrogantly, "This is not the refugee camp! I'll kill you all to avenge my son!"
He wanted to avenge his dead son, but the others coveted the sumptuous prey on Lu Ze's back.
That was meat!
They liked to bully others, but when it came to a situation where they had to rely on their true abilities to hunt, they would become cowards!
Therefore, even though many people had entered the mountains to hunt these days, these people found nothing except wild vegetables and fish and ducks that were not enough to fill the gaps between their teeth.
Now that they saw such a sumptuous meal, even Lin Suisui, who was relatively far away, could hear the sound of those people swallowing their saliva.
How embarrassing!
Lin Suisui wanted to mock them again, but Lu Ze, who was blocking her way, reached out and pressed her back. "Are you guys going to fight one by one, or all at once?"
Lu Ze knew that the group of people in front of him wouldn't give up so easily, so he couldn't be bothered to waste his energy here. He just wanted to wipe out this group of trash in front of him so that they wouldn't continue to pester them like flies.
These words were quite hurtful and even more insulting. Before he could finish speaking, they had already lost their temper. There was no need to argue anymore. They pounced towards Lu Ze with their clubs.
Lin Suisui was pushed a few steps away by Lu Ze's slap. Then, she saw Lu Ze fighting with the group of people who were pouncing over. She staggered and knew that she wouldn't be of much help if she stayed. After thinking for a moment, she turned around and ran in the direction of the camp. As she ran, she didn't forget to shout, "Murder! Help!"
It was almost dusk, and most of the people who had entered the mountain had returned. At this moment, they were all gathered in the camp to prepare dinner. Lin Suisui's shout naturally attracted the attention of the refugees and even the soldiers patrolling at the side.
Actually, Qian He had long known that these people had gone to find trouble with Lin Suisui and the others.
However, his master had only asked him to keep an eye on this couple and had not instructed him to interfere in anything, so he only kept an eye on them.
However, he didn't expect the two of them to cause such a huge commotion this time!
Pei Qian walked out of the tent and glanced in the direction of the commotion. He turned to look at Qian He, who was standing at the side. "What's going on?"
"Your Highness, the families of the people who died in that man's hands went over to seek revenge." Qian He didn't hesitate and quickly reported the situation to Pei Qian.
"Let's go and watch the show!"
Pei Qian didn't blame him for being incompetent as Qian He had expected. Instead, he walked towards Lin Suisui with interest, as if he wanted to watch the show.
Lin Suisui threw herself into Mrs. Luo's arms and cried sadly. As she cried, she begged Mrs. Luo and the surrounding families who were familiar with her to go up the mountain to help her husband. No matter how one looked at it, she looked like a frightened woman.
The men in Mrs. Luo's family naturally didn't hesitate. When they heard Lin Suisui's words, they immediately picked up their weapons and rushed in the direction Lin Suisui had pointed.
When Pei Qian walked over, Lin Suisui was being gently coaxed by Mrs. Luo. Her pitiful appearance was completely different from what she had revealed previously.
This piqued Pei Qian's interest. He walked over and the refugees around him quickly retreated as if they had seen Hades, leaving the space in front of them to the smiling Hades.
"Are you very afraid?" Pei Qian stared at Lin Suisui for a long time before asking her.
Lin Suisui sniffed and couldn't help but hiccup. Tears were still welling up in her red eyes. When she heard Pei Qian's question, she nodded. "There were many of them. When they saw us, they attacked us without saying anything. It was my husband who pushed me away and told me to run. That's why I came back alive to shout for help.
"Sir, didn't you say before that if anyone causes trouble in the refugee camp again, you won't let them off easily? Those people don't take your orders seriously. You have to seek justice for my husband!"
Tsk, she had set him up!
Pei Qian sneered. He couldn't be bothered to believe a single word the woman said!
How could someone who could face five burly men on her own and still poke someone's eyeball before stabbing him in the neck with a hairpin be so frightened?!
However, it had to be said that this young lady was very smart. She knew what appeal to use.
"Then, how do you want me to seek justice for your husband?" Pei Qian glanced at the group of people coming down the mountain from the corner of his eye and subconsciously smiled. He looked at Lin Suisui and calmly looked around at the refugees who were not far away before continuing to ask Lin Suisui in a gentle tone, "Your husband seems to have returned safely. Do you still want me to take those people's lives according to the rules?!"
