A worker behind Chen Si said loudly, “Let Comrade Ye go! Ma Kang, I could promise you that I wouldn’t pursue the matter of mine, but Comrade Ye is my savior. You had to let her go!”

The rest of the workers agreed, “That’s right. Without Comrade Ye, we might have lost our lives. You want us to help you hide the matter of the mine, so you can’t hurt Comrade Ye!”

“Do you still want the compensation?” Ma Kang shouted angrily. If you continued to cause trouble at the entrance of the village committee, believe it or not, I’d make sure you didn’t get a single cent!”

Ma Kang’s words made a few workers hesitate, but a few of them still puffed out their chests and said firmly, “We could earn more money, but we couldn’t be heartless. If you didn’t give me the money, then don’t give it to me. I’d treat it as a life-saving fee for Comrade Ye. In short, you had to let Comrade Ye go today!”

Ma Kang didn’t expect these workers to be so difficult to deal with. They didn’t even want the money. They were really stupid!

Chen Si walked up to Ma Kang and said in a gloomy tone, “If you let Ye Ling go, we’d leave immediately. If you didn’t let her go, we’d be staying at the entrance of the village committee today.”

When dealing with a scoundrel like Ma Kang, he naturally had to use a scoundrel’s method. After Chen Si finished speaking, a worker took out a rough waterproof canvas and laid it on the ground. Several workers immediately sat down, looking like they weren’t going to leave.

Ma Kang was so angry that his face turned red. He had never been forced to this extent before.

“Min Nan, you’re amazing! I’ll remember you!” Ma Kang thought.

“If you let Ye Ling go, they wouldn’t make things difficult for you,” Chen Si continued. “You should know that when the county’s investigation came down, the more people identified you, the bigger the trouble you’d be in.”

Ma Kang’s expression was as if he had just eaten a fly. His eyes were wide open like an ugly frog, and he couldn’t vent the anger in his heart. The veins near his temples were popping out.

“Alright!” After half a minute, Ma Kang took a deep breath and gritted his teeth.

“Alright, I’d let her go!”

A moment later, Ye Ling walked out of the room with her hands on the wall.

Chen Si saw Ye Ling and hurriedly walked up to her. He said guiltily, “Sorry,

Comrade Ye. We were late!”

Ye Ling forced a smile and waved her hand. “Don’t say that. I should thank

you.”

Ye Ling’s voice was extremely hoarse. Chen Si knew that Ma Kang must have started his revenge on Ye Ling before they arrived. He felt extremely uncomfortable. He raised his hands, wanting to help Ye Ling, but he didn’t dare.

Ye Ling walked to the entrance of the village committee and met Ma Kang’s gaze. Ye Ling didn’t say anything and walked past Ma Kang, preparing to leave.

“I didn’t expect Min Nan to be so interested in a woman. Ye Ling, you won.” Ma Kang’s cold voice sounded from behind Ye Ling.

“What do you mean?” One of the workers said unhappily. “We’re here to look for Comrade Ye because she’s our savior. It has nothing to do with anyone else. Also, did a donkey kick your brain? Comrade Ye’s medical skills are so good. If she were in my family, she would be worshipped by others, but you guys still treat her like this. There’s something wrong with you!”

The worker’s words were so rude that Ma Kang almost fainted. His body swayed, and he held the door with all his strength. His knuckles almost scratched the wooden board.

Chen Si patted the worker’s shoulder and said to the others, “Alright, let’s go.”

When the others heard Chen Si’s words, they immediately put the tarpaulin on the ground and followed Ye Ling and Chen Si. The group gradually drifted away.

Behind Ma Kang, a village cadre looked at the group of people’s backs unwillingly and said to Ma Kang, “Secretary, are we just going to let them go?”

“What else?” Ma Kang said angrily. He rubbed his chest with his right hand. He felt like he was about to have a heart attack.

For those workers, Chen Si, who had gone down the mountain to report the news, could be said to be their savior. That was why they were organized by Chen Si to cause trouble at the entrance of the village committee.

To Chen Si and the workers, Ye Ling was their savior.

Although these workers valued money, they valued friendship more. That was why they took the risk of not getting a single cent of compensation to take Ye

Ling away.

Ma Kang slammed the door hard.

He had miscalculated this time. He had not considered that the workers were a variable.

He had thought that he had already bribed most of the people and that those people would no longer pose any threat to him..
