“Subsequently, the two of them went up the mountain together. Along the way, Ye Ling’s legs were a bit sore, so she found a wooden root to support herself as they climbed the mountain.

Finally, they saw the faint lights of the forest farm, and the group of people quickened their pace.

When they arrived at the open space in front of the forest farm’s buildings, the village chief shouted loudly, ‘Where is Wang Gang? Wang Gang, come out!’

The door of a house opened, but the person who walked out wasn’t Wang Gang; it was Min Nan and others.

Min Nan was somewhat surprised when he saw the group of people in front of him. He furrowed his brows in confusion and was about to inquire when he noticed the petite and fragile figure behind the village chief.

Min Nan paused for a moment and immediately took a few steps forward.

The village chief thought that Min Nan was about to report the situation to him. He straightened his chest and prepared himself. However, he watched as Min Nan pushed past him, showing deep concern as he looked at Ye Ling. Min Nan’s voice was slightly hoarse as he said, ‘Are you okay?’

Ye Ling looked at Min Nan’s concerned and anxious expression and felt a bit apologetic. She said, ‘I’m sorry, Big Brother Min Nan. I made you worry again. I managed to escape from the forest farm in the middle of the night, so I missed you…’

Ye Ling briefly explained the situation in the mine and pointed to the group of people next to her, saying, ‘These people were brought here by the village chief. The situation is urgent, so we need to rescue those workers quickly.’

Min Nan, upon learning about the mine incident, was surprised as well and angrily exclaimed, ‘Wang Gang is too audacious. This is an antisocial act!’

During this era, the punishment for acts of betrayal and pursuing personal gain at the expense of the collective was severe. However, in the face of enormous profits, some were still willing to take risks.

Min Nan’s anger subsided, and he quickly realized that Wang Gang’s ability to conceal the mine’s situation likely involved the support and assistance of certain village officials.

At that moment, Min Nan’s mood became exceptionally heavy. He looked at Dai Wei, who shook his head slowly, cautioning him not to act rashly.

As the saying went, the law wouldn’t hold the masses collectively responsible. Even if this incident were to escalate, it would likely result in Wang Gang facing the harshest punishment alone.

Dragging the entire village into this would bring no benefits whatsoever. The village chief might even protect the village officials who helped Wang Gang conceal the mine’s existence.

If Min Nan were to try and expose those village officials who assisted Wang Gang in hiding the truth, he would essentially be making enemies with the entire village leadership.

Under the village chief’s command, the group of people began following the injured man’s guidance, heading towards the direction of the mine.

Dai Wei walked up to Min Nan and reiterated, “Don’t worry too much about this matter.”

Min Nan clenched his teeth, his tone a mixture of disappointment and anger, “These so-called public servants are a disgrace!”

Ye Ling’s mood also grew heavy.

She had originally thought that matters concerning the leadership were distant from her, but now it seemed that the actions of those in power directly affected the fate of the people. Without those village officials who had lost their moral compass assisting Wang Gang, the mine would never have been allowed to operate.

Wang Gang, as a mere forest farm manager, could not have wielded such authority and acted so high-handedly in the village.

Ye Ling took a deep breath and asked Min Nan about another matter, “Big

Brother Min Nan, have you seen Yu Huan?”

Min Nan snapped out of his deep thoughts, nodded, and pointed towards the forest farm office building where he and Dai Wei had come from, saying, “After we arrived, we searched the entire forest farm and found Yu Huan. She’s currently sleeping on the office desk.”

Ye Ling breathed a sigh of relief.

She also felt that it was quite audacious for Min Nan and Dai Wei to bring two police officers up the mountain. Last time, there had been a clash between Min Nan and Wang Gang’s men, and now he was on their turf. What if they sought revenge?

Perhaps sensing Ye Ling’s concerns, Min Nan explained, “Don’t worry, there’s no one in this forest farm who can harm me. I even taught those two police officers martial arts. If it comes to a fight, despite us being only four people, we might not necessarily lose.”

Ye Ling’s heart raced upon hearing this. Why was Min Nan talking so lightly about fighting? Fighting could result in injuries. Couldn’t he think more about his own safety?

Thinking about it, Ye Ling suddenly realized that Min Nan had come up the mountain because of her. If she hadn’t gone missing, Min Nan would never have clashed with anvone.

In an instant, Ye Ling felt a bit annoyed with herself.. Why had she been causing trouble for Min Nan all along?
