Chapter 101 - 101: Threats

101  Threats

Ye Ling had already organized her words in her mind and calmly began, "Village Chief, have you ever wondered why I would come to you with that worker who came out of the mine?"

Caught off guard by the shocking and confusing situation, the Village Chief hadn't considered this question. He looked at Ye Ling with suspicion and stammered, "You..."

Ye Ling smiled faintly and continued, "Today, I went to Chen County with a young female scholar from the village, Yu Huan. On our way back, we were captured by Wang Gang's men on the small road to the west of the village. They took us to the forest farm. I managed to escape and encountered the injured man on the way."

The Village Chief was completely astonished by all that had happened to Ye Ling. He opened his mouth to say something, but Ye Ling went on, "So, Village Chief, you need to send someone to rescue Yu Huan. This matter must also be kept secret."

Ye Ling's tone wasn't one of negotiation with the Village Chief. It was resolute.

The Village Chief didn't seem pleased by this and waved his hand casually, saying, "I will have them bring back the young female scholar. As for keeping it a secret, we will do our best."

"We will do our best?" Ye Ling's gaze grew deeper.

Both she and Yu Huan were innocent unmarried young women. If the villagers found out that they had been forcibly taken to the forest farm by Wang Gang, who knows what kind of rumors would spread.

Ye Ling wasn't afraid of being gossiped about, but Yu Huan hadn't experienced a rebirth after death. She didn't want to drag Yu Huan into this and subject her to rumors.

As the Village Chief was about to leave, Ye Ling spoke coldly, "Village Chief, I don't care how you handle the mine incident, but Yu Huan and I are educated youth here to support rural development. We were forcibly taken to the mountains in your jurisdiction. Don't you think our rights have been violated? Shouldn't I write a letter to the county government leaders and inform them of the significant security loopholes in this area?"

Ye Ling's words brought the Village Chief to a sudden stop, as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over him from head to toe. He turned and spoke with a stiff tone, "What do you mean?"

Ye Ling smiled faintly and said, "Village Chief, I'm not threatening you. I'm just discussing with you. As long as you keep our matter confidential, I won't cause any trouble for you."

Ye Ling looked calmly at the Village Chief and could see the panic and nervousness in his eyes.

his eyes.

She was quite sure that the Village Chief still cared about his own position. If she were to turn this matter into a complaint letter and send it to the county government, things could escalate.

While the status of educated youth like her was not high in politics, they were talent resources relocated by the government. If something happened to educated youth, the government could intervene.

Once the Willow Village under the Village Chief's jurisdiction was defined as a "chaotic region with worrisome public security," he would undoubtedly be held responsible. The extent of his accountability was something only he knew better than Ye Ling.

The Village Chief took a deep breath, dropping his dismissive attitude towards Ye Ling. He looked at her seriously and said, "Alright, I promise you that I won't disclose your encounter."

Ye Ling confirmed once again, "Village Chief, you'll keep your word, right?"

The Village Chief, no longer wanting to appear impatient, had no choice but to assure her, "I am the Village Chief of Willow Village. I can handle such a small matter."

Satisfied, Ye Ling nodded and said, "Okay, let's head up the mountain then."

"Do you still want to go up the mountain? You're just a young girl. You've run so far today. How about going back and resting?" The Village Chief didn't want to see Ye Ling hanging around him anymore. He had lived for so many years and had never been threatened by a young girl before. The thought of it was embarrassing.

"It's alright, I'm not tired. I have some knowledge in medical and health matters. It will take some time for the clinic staff to arrive, so after the workers are rescued, I can help with some basic wound treatment." Ye Ling explained.

"Are you sure you can handle it?" The Village Chief had just expressed his doubts but quickly shut his mouth, fearing that Ye Ling might threaten him again. He changed his tone and said, "When it comes to matters of life and death, please don't take any risks. If you can help, help. If not, don't push yourself."

Ye Ling smiled gently and replied, "I understand my limits. Thank you, Village Chief."

The Village Chief was somewhat intimidated by Ye Ling's gentle smile.
