n” Oh ho ho ho,” Yu Dong shook her head along with her words as she sneered coldly. ” How so? Is he painted with gold or is he some immortal spirit that I have to bow down and treat him better? From what I see he is no different from others but no one can harm him because he is your son. The great village head’s son.”

nTwo red dots appeared on Village head Gu’s cheeks as she glared at Yu Dong. ” You don’t think you are going too far, do you, Yu Dong?”

n” You are right, I don’t think that I am going too far,” folding her arms Yu Dong stared back at Village head Gu. Only she knew how furious she was upon learning that Xiao Hua was being threatened by a perverted stalker and all of that happened right under the nose of this incompetent woman but instead of taking care of the matter when she should have, the woman ignored what they had told all because she didn’t want her reputation to be ruined and now that the matter has escalated to the point where they couldn’t hold it in anymore instead of taking care of her mess, she was actually trying to put the matter on Xiao Hua’s head? How can she not be angry?

nTipping her chin, she jibed straight at Village head Gu. ” You knew that someone dangerous was roaming in the village but you didn’t do anything,” her gaze travelled to the ‘gifts’ that were left behind by the pervert and Yu Dong’s hackles rose. ” Xiao Hua might have not told me about these gifts, but I don’t think that neither of these mers told you about the situation and the things that they were receiving every day on their porch, they told you, didn’t they?”

nVillage head Gu licked the edge of her lips as she lowered her head looking away from Yu Dong’s questioning gaze.

nSeeing that she wasn’t answering Yu Dong turned to look at Xiao Zimo. The latter sensed Yu Dong’s gaze and immediately said, ” She does, we brought these gifts to her house and showed it all to her but she said that we should be used to something like that as someone who worked in the tavern and when we asked her to take responsibility, she kicked us out of her house, deriding us as if we were lower than beggars!”

nVillage head Gu’s head snapped up as she glared at Xiao Zimo but her glare was intercepted by Yu Dong. She walked across the small tea table and stood in front of the mers, quirking a brow at Village head Gu. ” So, this is how you are taking care of the villagers? By discriminating against them? Should I complain to the authorities about how you are taking care of the job that you should have treated with great determination and respect?”

n” Yu Dong, think about it carefully…these mers are someone who stayed in the tavern and now that they have stopped the business they used to do, it doesn’t change the fact that they were once courtesans, how am I supposed to take a look at their customers, surely one of them is causing this trouble——”

n” No,” said Yu Dong so resolutely that everyone turned to look at her, but she didn’t flinch even the slightest bit and continued, ” You said it yourself, didn’t you? That no one entered the village this morning and no one saw anyone leaving either meaning someone from the village has to be the one behind this, instead of dumping the blame here and there without carefully investigating what’s really going on.”

n” Who says that someone from the village is behind this?” said Village head Gu sounding as if she was going to fight it off with Yu Dong if she was to say anything against her.

nBut was Yu Dong someone who would be scared of the Village head Gu? Not at all. Even when she heard the unspoken threat in Village head Gu’s voice, she smiled and said, ” And who is to say that no one from the village is behind this? Instead of thinking about excuses about how to save your skin, go and take care of this case with all the seriousness that you have in your body. Just because the pervert is targeting Xiao Hua now, doesn’t mean that he wouldn’t be troubling the other mers. In case you want to lose your title as the Village head, you can try ignoring me again.”

n” Is that a threat, Yu Dong?” raising her head Village head Gu stared at Yu Dong. Her eyes narrowed in anger and frustration. ” Are you threatening me?”

nYu Dong smiled and took a daring step forward, arms folded and confidence pouring out of every pore of her body. ” You can take it as you want, but I will let you in one thing and that’s——” she lowered her voice so that only the Village head could hear her. ” I don’t have the habits of making empty threats, Village head Mu is a perfect example of that … if you want to reign over the village peacefully then you catch hold of that pervert for me and if you dared to ignore me again last time, I will let you see why the previous Village head was relieved when she left the village.” Her eyes narrowed slightly as she dipped her voice even lower and said, ” You don’t want to ignore me, Village head Gu because I don’t like it when I am ignored.”

nOnce she was done speaking, she stepped back and said, ” Now go get me some information that’s going to be useful.”
