Chapter 490: Pacify the hearts of the people

Pang Yan had been in charge of them since the imperial capital, which was equivalent to being the leader. She was not old, but she had a strong sense of responsibility.

It was especially so on the night of the chaos. Yun Xiangxiang had a good impression of her when she tried to pacify them.

“Why was he knocked unconscious?” Yun Xiangxiang asked worriedly as he thought about accompanying them to send Pang Yan into the house.

Qi Juan shook his head. “I don’t know what happened either.”

After saying that, he turned his gaze to another person. It was the person who had carried Pang Yan back. Yun Xiangxiang recalled that this person was Li Xiangling’s classmate from the same school and was from a different department.

“Shen Tu, how did you find leader Pang?” Li Xiangling asked hurriedly.

Shen Tu, who had carried Pang Yan back, wiped the sweat off his forehead. “Today, I accompanied the old master. The old master said that he had to go there every day to wait for his son and wife to come back. He saw the time and insisted on going, so I followed….”

Today, they each had their own responsibilities. Shen Tu was responsible for a stubborn old man. This old man went to the valley outside the village every day to wait for people. It had become a habit, and everyone in the village knew about it.

Since Shen Tu was here to accompany this old man, of course he had to do his duty, so he planned to go with him.

When he reached the place, he saw a foot sticking out from the ditch in the distance. Shen Tu hurriedly ran over and only then did he realize that it was Pang Yan.

He immediately called for help. Qi Juan happened to be not far away, so he ran over and helped him carry Pang Yan back.

“There are no suspicious traces around.” Qi Juan was also puzzled.

Yun Xiangxiang and Qi Juan walked to the place where Pang Yan was found. The field of vision here was very wide, and it was the only way out of the village.

People could pass by on both sides at any time. There were also some residents at the foot of the mountain, and there were also villagers on the hillside.

Moreover, the path below was clear at a glance. It was too late to run. Shen Tu said that when he found Pang Yan, he looked around but did not see any suspicious figures.

It was almost December now. Although there were still some trees and bushes, they were all sparse and withered. It was impossible to hide people.

“It’s a little strange.” Lu Jin looked around and could not figure out why Pang Yan was knocked out and left here.

“Then we’ll talk about it when leader Pang wakes up.” Yun Xiangxiang felt that there were a lot of suspicious points. Moreover, in the current situation, she couldn’t make wild guesses.

Not to mention making people anxious, it could easily cause conflict between the volunteers and the villagers.

Fortunately, Pang Yan woke up very quickly. Everyone cared about her and wanted to know the truth.

However, what she said made people even more confused. She said. “I went to the forest to help pick up some firewood to start a fire. When I felt someone behind me, I was knocked out before I could turn around.”

“You were knocked out in the forest?” Yun Xiangxiang in shock.

There was indeed a forest in the distance where Pang Yan was found. There were more dead branches, but the distance was still a little far. It was about three minutes away.

The strangest thing was that the forest was further away. Someone knocked Pang Yan out in the forest and actually brought him back to the village road. Because of unknown reasons, Pang Yan was thrown into the ditch at the entrance of the village.

Everyone looked at each other, but the students who had not experienced much were already feeling unsettled. They felt that the village was not safe.

This matter had to be clarified, or something big would happen. They were also worried that someone with evil intentions would use this to do other things.

“Everyone be careful. Try not to be alone.” Qi Juan could only exhort everyone like this, and then urgently called for a meeting with the person in charge.

This was because they had discovered it in time and no one was killed. However, if they were careless and someone really died, it would be too late for regrets.

Very soon, many people came to Qi Juan for a response. Could they leave this place early.

Of course, they couldn’t just leave without any reason. If they left in such a hurry, what would the villagers think?

They would think that they were being treated as villains. To them, who were used to seeing conflict in the city and having trouble distinguishing between black and white, this was nothing.

But for the villagers here, innocence might be more important than their lives.

Qi Juan did not leave early just for the sake of the villagers, but the current situation could not prove that it was the villagers who attacked Pang Yan.

“I don’t mean to speculate about anyone, but you only thought of one possibility,” Qi Juan said to them with a grim expression. “You think that the person who harmed Pang Yan is someone from the village, but it could also be someone from here, right?”

Everyone opened their mouths, wanting to refute. Although they were overprotective, they could not deny the possibility that Qi Juan had mentioned.

No one dared to guarantee that the person who harmed Pang Yan was not among them. After all, before they came to participate in this event, many people were strangers to each other.

If this possibility was the truth, then if they did not solve this matter here, not only could Pang Yan be hurt again, there could be other victims…

Thinking of this possibility, although everyone’s uneasy heart became even more uneasy, their feelings of wanting to leave cooled down.

“Try to form a group of three to five people. We will still go according to the original plan and leave the day after tomorrow.”

Qi Juan comforted them. “Before that, we will try our best to understand the matter. Pang Yan is one of our people in charge, and we have the obligation to explain to her.”

Yun Xiangxiang about standing in the distance with Li Xiangling, looking at Qi Juan in the middle of the crowd. He was wearing a gray turtleneck sweater and a brown jacket, which was actually very common and appropriate for the general public, but he had a handsome face without losing his heroic spirit, even though there were some art school students around, such as Yan Zhenben, who was very handsome.

He was also the most dazzling one, and the lights on the roof seemed to fall on him alone.

His figure was abnormally tall and straight. It was only at this moment that Yun Xiangxiang realized that Qi Juan also had the authority to control the whole situation.

“He’s from a big family after all. He can control the situation,” Yun Xiangxiang. She didn’t mean to say it in front of Li Xiangling, but she really felt that she might have underestimated Qi Juan.

He just looked a bit unreliable, like a frivolous teenager who could never stop moving.

In fact, if he could become friends with Song Mian, he must be the same type of person as Song Mian.

After all, the two of them were not only close friends because they came from the same family background, but also because their style and abilities were not too far apart.

“Let’s go, let’s go take a look again.” Li Xiangling pulled Yun Xiangxiang as she wanted to walk out.

As a law student, she was originally determined to become a police officer. Of course, she was very curious about this kind of thing.

Since this matter had already reached the point of no solution, it was rare for her to encounter it, so she would definitely participate in it personally.

It could also be considered as accumulating some practical experience for herself, even though there was no need for a lawyer to investigate such matters…
