"Don't worry, village chief, we're not fools. We won't betray you."
"Heh, those bigwigs don't care about our lives."
"Snitching would be playing with our own lives."
"Exactly, Jiang Fan is our savior. How could we repay kindness with betrayal?"
"Indeed, if it weren't for him, we might all be dead."
"Those soldiers wanted to kill the innocent and take credit, trading our heads for fame. It's utterly despicable."
The villagers sneered continuously.
They knew well the nature of those in power.
If they betrayed and revealed Jiang Fan's information, they wouldn't gain anything.
Instead, they might invite disaster upon themselves.
"It seems we all agree."
"Let's dig a pit later and burn these corpses to destroy the evidence."
"Anyway, no one saw how Lu Yan and the others died."
"Even if the Lu Family discovers Lu Yan and the others are missing, it will take them a long time to trace it back to Osmanthus Village."
"We can delay them for at least half a month, even a month."
