I was dressed as a vicious daughter, and the villain eavesdropped on my thoughts.

The village chief heard the voice, stood up from the futon, turned around and looked at the few people kindly, and said with a smile: "Here you are."

Lu Anan frowned slightly, and calmly glanced at the gasoline barrel placed next to the village chief's futon, and said in a gentle and persuasive manner: "Village chief, there is actually no need for you to get yourself involved. We have already called the police, and they will be here soon."

The village chief laughed at himself and said in a cold tone: "Police? No, these demons don't deserve to be punished by the law. They only deserve to kneel here until they die!"

Lu Anan tried to communicate with the village chief: "I know the crimes they committed. Believe me, I will find all the evidence and send them all to jail or execute them."

The village chief shook his head and looked at the villagers who were kneeling in the ancestral hall and crying in fear. He smiled happily: "Ms. Lu, I believe you, but I want them to kneel here, feel despair, and let them watch themselves die."

His cloudy eyes gradually became clear, and he looked up at Lu An'an, "Miss Lu, you can read faces and you also know medical skills. When you first met those children, you felt their pulses, right?"

Lu Anan nodded and admitted: "Yes."

The village chief smiled and continued to ask: "So you figured it out, why can't they talk?"

Lu Anan's eyes swept across the villagers who didn't dare to look up, and his tone gradually became colder: "They poisoned him and made him mute."

The village chief laughed out loud, and his laughter became louder and sadder. "Yes, they were poisoned and silenced by those beasts. Because these children cannot be sold, and they need the false appearance of harmony in the village, so they poisoned and silenced these children, just to keep the secret that Yunling Village is a human trafficking village!"

With overwhelming hatred in his eyes, he glared at the villagers who were finally beginning to get scared and tremble, and continued to reveal the truth: "Do you know? This group of demons realized the joy of making quick money from selling children. They even didn't let go of their own children. They sold any child they could, regardless of whether they were their own children or not. As long as they could be kidnapped and could give birth, they would sell them all by any means necessary, just to get the money, the money earned from the children's lives!"

Tears fell from the village chief's eyes. "My wife, my son, and my daughter-in-law were all beaten to death by the villagers when I went to the town to exchange and study because they resisted the villagers' bad behavior!"

His body began to tremble with great sorrow. "My grandson was only three years old when he was sold away by them. When I returned to the village, it had become a living hell, a concentration camp for demons. They have lost all humanity. These people who don't deserve to be called human beings should have died long ago!"

The village chief's words left everyone in great shock, and they were unable to recover for a long time.

They didn't expect the truth to be so cruel and inhumane.

Lu Yanli was so angry that he kicked the villager beside his leg and cursed: "Beast!"

The villager was kicked to the side by such a huge force that his legs were exposed and were stuck in the steel bars. The tremendous pain made the villager's face turn pale in an instant, but because his mouth was sealed, he could not make any sound except for the shrill "wuuuuu" sound.

Lu Anan looked at the fixed leg, and a solemn look flashed in his eyes.

[Damn it, if all these villagers are pinned down like this, there will be no way to save them later! ]

The village chief seemed to see what Lu Anan was thinking, and smiled and broke her thoughts: "Ms. Lu, you don't have to think about saving them, it's useless."

Lu Anan looked at the village chief and said word by word: "I don't want to save them, I want to save you."

"If you are doing these things now to avenge your spouse, son and daughter-in-law, and to save those children, I can tell you clearly that I can save them, let them speak again, and I can also avenge you legally."

The village chief looked around the temple, smiled bitterly, and said slowly: "I have never thought of letting these people go, nor have I thought of letting myself go. I am a sinner just like them."

"They have let down our ancestors, and I have let them down too. I should have reported them from the beginning, but they threatened me with the remains of my wife, son, and daughter-in-law. For so many years, I have been doing wrong things in order to find their remains. I have protected them for so many years, and now I can finally atone for my sins."

Lu Anan's eyes flickered slightly, "Have you found their bodies?"

The village chief shook his head, his tone filled with regret and hatred: "I was deceived by them. They burned their bodies after they became smelly. It's ridiculous that I have protected these demons for so many years for a fruitless cause!"

Lu Anan's heart was full of doubts.

[Obviously, when we were having dinner, the village chief should not have known about these things. Why did the village chief know about them when my second brother and I just went to the mountain and came back? ]

She looked at Lu Wenjing and Fu Zhiyan who had suddenly arrived, and her heart sank as she thought of something.

[This time, is it for my eldest brother? ]

She looked at the village chief and asked her questions.

"Village Chief, you can't complete such a large project by yourself, right? Where are the people who are helping you?"

"Moreover, when we were having dinner at your house, you didn't show any intention of dying with them. You told me about the restricted area, and you wanted me to find out the truth about it and make it public, right? Then why did you suddenly change your mind and do it yourself?"

Lu Anan paused and said slowly: "Let me guess, someone helped you and told you about the corpse, right?"

The village chief's hunched body stiffened slightly, and his eyes gradually became meaningful as he looked at Lu Anan: "Ms. Lu, you are really smart, but I'm sorry, I can't tell you anything."

He lowered his head and picked up the oil barrel. His tone was terrifyingly calm. "Your companions are not here. When I knocked those people out, she was the only one who was not knocked out. In order to prevent her from disrupting my plan, I tied her up and threw her in the cellar. Now, you should leave."

The village chief was silent for a long time, then looked up at Lu Anan, his expression becoming kind again, just like he was at the dinner table before.

"Miss Lu, I'll leave those children in your care."

After he finished speaking, he dropped the oil barrel, and when the flames jumped up around him, he closed his eyes with relief.

"village head!"

Lu Anan's pupils suddenly shrank, and she subconsciously ran forward two steps. An arm came across her waist and carried her away from the ancestral hall.

Lu Anan's eyes reflected the village chief's face with his eyes closed and engulfed by flames, and a feeling of powerlessness rose in his heart.

She struggled to pry the hand away from her waist, but was held tightly.

Lu Anan's voice was filled with tears: "Let me go! I can save him! Let me save him!"

Fu Zhiyan controlled Lu Anan, turned her around, pressed her tightly in his arms, pursed his lips, and quickly left the ancestral hall.

Just then, a scream suddenly came to his ears.

"Big brother!"
