As Ye Ying chased after Ye Jian, she happened to run into her mother. Sun Dongqing was talking with the village leader, Zhang Defu, who was heading to the township government to run affairs. She could vaguely hear that her mom was asking about the teachers in her middle school.
Naturally, Ye Jian, who was closer to them, also could hear their conversation. With a faint smile on her face, she glanced at Ye Ying. Without a word, she had intimidated Ye Ying.
"Is it true that recently there is a math teacher from the city? I heard that…"
At this point, Ye Ying had forgotten her tears. Like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, she shrieked, "Mom! Stop meddling with such stuff!"
Since Ye Ying was guilty, what she was frightened of the most was the mentioning of teachers…
The sudden scream made Sun Dongqing's heart race. "Why are you yelling?! All you know is fooling around! You think you are a princess, don't you? And I am your servant. But you don't have to stay here if you are destined to be a princess."
It sounded like she was criticizing Ye Ying, but she was actually swearing at Ye Jian.
Ye Jian smiled and pretended she had not heard it. Since Ye Zhifan had not returned, and it was Ye Ying who was truly guilty, the scandal of seducing a teacher would not cause a storm in the village for the time being.
Sun Dongqing had tried so hard to subdue her anger. But as Ye Jian ignored her and maintained her composure, Sun Dongqing became infuriated again. She rolled her eyes and sneered, "Huh. Are you coming back to pack your things? It makes sense. My house is too banal and small to host such an important person like you."
She was saying these words to threaten Ye Jian!
Wicked girl! Let me see if you dare talk back to me again! If you don't behave, then leave my house! And you'll have nowhere else to go!
As the village leader Zhang Defu frowned and was about to ask what the problem was, he saw that Ye Jian's eyes were filled with tears. As tears dropped from her eyes, she sobbed, "Aunt, I have told you that I am innocent. I have never done such a thing as seducing my teacher. If I admit to such a false allegation, my life will be ruined."
"Aunt, I beg you, give me a chance to live."
As she finished her words, Ye Jian used her hands to cover her face and ran away.
She was heading to the neighboring village, to find her classmate Zhang Bin, who handed in the exam paper together with her yesterday.
In the old days, the damage was already done when she woke up from her trip and fall. She was bewildered and shocked to learn that she was accused of seducing her teacher.
Zhang Bin, who handed in the exam paper around the same time with her, was the only classmate who stood up for her.
Sun Dongqing and Ye Ying were dumbfounded as they saw Ye Jian running away in tears as if she was suffering indescribable grievances.
Zhang Defu could not stand what he had witnessed and he said unpleasantly, "Dongqing, your husband has only one niece, and you are Ye Jian's aunt. Do you think it was appropriate for you to talk to your young relative like that?" Then, he flung his sleeves and left.
Sun Dongqing was so pissed that she laid down on the ground. Slapping her thighs, she complained about her unreasonably bad luck and how she had been treating Ye Jian most kindly. Anyway, she couldn't defend herself now that Ye Jian had left in tears.
Ye Jian, who was on her way to the neighboring village, couldn't hear her complaints. Even if she could, she would not mind them.
Rather than waste time on the main street, she chose a small path that only required climbing over a mountain.
The hibernating animals, including snakes, woke up as soon as spring arrived.
Ye Jian picked up a branch as thick as two fingers. It was not to guard against snakes. She had not been frightened of snakes since she was a child. It was just a habit of hers to hold a branch in her hands.
When alone, she would be better off possessing a defensive weapon.
The flowers on the mountain were blooming. While walking on the path in the mountain, Ye Jian found that the birches had blocked the spring sun.
As she walked further, she could see the wire fence meandering along the ridge.
The wire fence was built by the military unit stationed deep in the mountain. It was to prevent ordinary people from entering the restricted areas and avoid the military from injuring the children from the mountain by mistake.
When she was halfway up the mountain, Ye Jian heard the rustling of leaves. Someone else was also walking in this mountain.
It was normal for the villagers to walk in the mountain, but Ye Jian panicked for no reason. Out of instinct, she completely hid herself under a tree.
Ye Jian slightly pulled open the bush in front of her. She saw three men she had never met before. They were carrying objects on their shoulders. It seemed like they were searching for something.
"Damn it! That bastard takes our money but doesn't get his job done! What can we film from this place?" said a man who was around 24 or 25 years old and was the shortest of the three of them. Carefully, he unloaded the object from his shoulder and leaned it against a tree. "We have to climb over the mountain."
The tallest man was probably tired from walking. He leaned against a birch to rest. "Take a break. F*ck it! We have been walking in this deep and remote mountain for a couple of days. If we can't get what we want, let's just go down the mountain, find a rural family, and get something to eat."
"Tut. Do that if you are not afraid to die." said the second-tallest but the strongest man coldly. He had a pair of gloomy eyes. He fumbled around in his chest and took out a cigarette. He sniffed it beneath his nose and put it back into the cigarette box. "Let's go. Upwards."
"If we can't get this job done, we won't get paid this month."
Obviously, he was the leader of this gang. As soon as he gave the order, the other two men packed their things and moved right away.
It was a bit hard for the shortest man to carry those things, so he said to the taller one, "Carry this 'canon' for me. My shoulders are rubbed so bad that they are peeling."
"Canon"? Camera lens?
As the short man carried the object out from his waterproof canvas bag, Ye Jian's pupils tightened subtly. It was indeed a camera lens.
And it was not an ordinary lens. It was an imported good that cost tens of thousands of yuan!
Carrying expensive lenses with them, these men had been in the mountain for days. In the blink of an eye, Ye Jian had figured out the intention of their trip by pondering over their conversation.
They came here to steal classified information from the battalion deep inside the mountain!
Ye Jian was supposed to go to the neighboring village. But now, she looked at these men coldly. If they really wanted to film the battalion, their only destination was the Hawk Beak Cliff, which they could arrive within one hour from here.
Now, she decided to go down the mountain to find Grandpa Gen, who definitely had a way to connect to the military unit in the mountain.
While putting the heaviest lens into his bag, the tall man said sarcastically, "Don't spend too much time bedding women. You should learn from Brother Lu and stay in the gym more frequently."
As the tall guy failed his first two attempts, he put it aside and placed his hands on his belt. As he unbuckled his belt, he said, "I'm going to pee. Put the lens in my bag yourself."
Ye Jian tightened her hands that were holding a branch. This man was unleashing his belt and walking toward her direction!
She looked around swiftly. She could no longer squat there. Instead, she slowly moved behind the tree and kept her shoulders closer to her body, hoping that the tree could keep her out of the man's sight.
Water was splattering. Although Ye Jian was holding her breath, she could still smell something. She was so sensitive to smells that she could recognize the lingering scents that occurred several days ago.
A jet-black snake had slithered down from the tree branch. It was gliding towards the feet of the man who was peeing.
The man shook comfortably and lowered his head. As he looked at his feet, he let out a terrified scream and drew back.
When the tall man screamed out of fear, Ye Jian realized that she could not hide any longer.
