Meeting the Village Chief

Jiang Xia knew that now was not the time to quarrel. This matter had to be reported to the village chief. It was important to let the village chief know that there were packs of wolves in the mountains, which could threaten the villagers at any time.

She agreed with Zhou Lan's words. She had to force the Sun couple into a dilemma and make them follow her to see the village chief.

"Fine, let's go find the village chief together," she declared.

Sun Li's wife's expression changed. "No, why should we go just because you say so? We won't listen to you!"

Jiang Xia tilted her head and looked at her with her eyes shining under the moonlight. "But you said that we are feeling guilty, yet we aren't. That's why we want to see the village chief. Could it be that you are the one feeling guilty and don't dare to go with us?"

This was a tricky statement to respond to. If they said they wouldn't go, didn't that indirectly admit their guilt and fear?
