CHAPTER 370: CHAPTER 363: MILITARY DEPLOYMENT

Sisi had run out of bullets and could only follow Shangguan and the others in attacking with stones. Some of her classmates had also been hit by gunfire, but fortunately, they were only superficially wounded, nothing serious. However, this still terrified the students, and their morale quickly deflated.

Just as Jin San and his group were about to charge in, Sisi clenched her teeth, hesitating whether to take out the seven-day drunk. But using it would draw the attention of so many people, leading to endless troubles in the future.

But if she didn’t use it, relying solely on Shangguan would definitely not be enough to handle so many villagers. What to do?

Sisi was torn, and at this moment, several villagers had already charged at them, only to be blocked by Shangguan. However, more and more people were coming, and Shangguan, despite his efforts, was overwhelmed. Sisi bit her teeth and decided not to care about the consequences anymore.

Just as Sisi was about to take out the Seven-day Hangover Spray, several crisp gunshots rang out below, distinct from the muffled sound of homemade guns. Sisi’s heart leapt with joy; surely it was the military police coming to the rescue.

Indeed, three military vehicles had stopped below, filled with soldiers armed to the teeth. With the regular army now involved, the villagers were instantly dumbfounded and stopped their advance, not daring to make another move.

Sisi and Shangguan also put away their weapons and went down. A square-faced soldier in his thirties saluted them and asked loudly, "Are you students He Sisi and Shangguan Feifei?"

"Yes, thank you for coming to our rescue!" Sisi gratefully said, and Shangguan also expressed her thanks.

The square-faced soldier seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and then loudly said, "No need to thank us, protecting the people’s safety is our duty as soldiers."

Sisi chuckled to herself, thinking this man was quite something; speaking so righteously when, in truth, had it not been for her and Shangguan’s background influence, who would bother with such trivial matters?

The other classmates started to make their way down, feeling they had narrowly escaped death. However, their view of Shangguan and Sisi had changed; they weren’t fools and knew that directly commanding the military forces in H City was not something an ordinary person could do.

It seemed their two female classmates in the class had quite the background!

About a dozen villagers lay dead below, with many more wounded. The dead had mostly been shot in the head by Sisi, while the injuries were caused by stones and wooden arrows used by Shangguan and the other students.

Seeing the dozen or so bodies on the ground, the square-faced soldier was inwardly shaken. Each shot had hit the head; that was impressive marksmanship, even he wasn’t sure he could achieve such accuracy!

This square-faced soldier was Camp Commander Zhou, a battalion commander of the H City stationed forces. When Camp Commander Zhou received the call from the military region while leading his soldiers in drills, the general instructed him to take a company to Anping Town to rescue a group of university students, emphasizing the safety of two female students, He Sisi and Shangguan Feifei, in particular.

Anping Town, Camp Commander Zhou was familiar with - a den of bandits. Even the stationed forces usually did not interfere with the villagers there, avoiding conflict with them. But now, having heard the general’s order to ensure the safety of the two female university students, he rushed over anxiously, worried about any mishaps that might befall the students.

Now, it was clear that there were capable people among these students; they hadn’t suffered too greatly. Camp Commander Zhou breathed a sigh of relief; his reputation was intact.

As for the dozen or so bodies lying on the ground, Camp Commander Zhou didn’t even bat an eyelid. The general had said to protect the safety of the two female students at all costs. What was the death of a dozen people in comparison?

Furthermore, he had long been dissatisfied with this bunch of villagers who, though not bandits, were worse than bandits. A few of them dying would serve them right, teaching them a lesson.

"This He Sisi has killed so many of our brothers, and you officials are shielding a murderer, we won’t stand for this!"

Jin San, covered in blood, felt his heart sink upon seeing the soldiers; he realized that he had failed miserably. With so many from Lupanxia Village dead, they would surely pin the blame on him, an outsider. No, he couldn’t just wait for death; he had to find a way out!

Not wanting to wait for death, Jin San tried to stir up the hatred of the Lupanxia villagers. His words did have some effect, indeed some villagers were incited and became agitated.

Sisi sneered, "Jin San, if you hadn’t harbored ill intentions and tried to bully my classmate, why would we have struck? Even if we did kill those people, it was in self-defense. Besides, all those who died were rallied by you. If it weren’t for you, they wouldn’t have died such wrongful deaths!"

While speaking, Sisi walked over to the horrific sight of Liu Xuelian lying on the ground, naked and barely breathing. Sisi took clothes from her bag and covered her, saying mournfully:

"My classmate was tortured by you to such a state; are you even human? You beasts deserve to die a hundred times over!"

With a face filled with sorrow, tears in her eyes, Sisi accused the Lupanxia villagers’ atrocities word by word. How could Camp Commander Zhou and his soldiers not understand what had happened?

Looking at Liu Xuelian on the ground, Camp Commander Zhou and the others were filled with righteous indignation. Some soldiers quietly kicked the villagers lying on the ground, damn it, they couldn’t stand those who bullied women the most! Such a disgrace to them as men!

The villagers of Lupanxia, upon hearing Sisi’s words, all came to realize—right, they were just sleeping peacefully at home; it was Jin San who caused all this trouble, wasn’t it? Without Jin San, would their village have needed to suffer so many deaths?

The families of the deceased were furious with Jin San and pounced on him; shrieks of misery resounded. Camp Commander Zhou did not intervene, and before long, Jin San no longer moved, lying on the ground almost dead.

Camp Commander Zhou watched Sisi with a smile; this girl was formidable indeed, a few words had cost a man his life! Her marksmanship was impressive as well, truly outstanding!

Those villagers were taken away by Camp Commander Zhou, and Sisi and her group also followed to the military, as after all, over a dozen lives were lost and the people involved had to give a clear account.

Of course, the villagers were locked in a room, while Sisi and her group naturally enjoyed VIP treatment. Liu Xuelian and some injured male students were sent to the military hospital for treatment, and Li Anqi, Song Mengshi, Zhu Yunxiu, and some classmates followed to take care of them.

Sisi, of course, wouldn’t be taking care of Liu Xuelian. Speaking of which, the show of sorrow for Liu Xuelian earlier was just an act; how else could she have incited such outrage in Camp Commander Zhou and the others?

Moreover, she needed to find a morally justifiable reason to explain this killing; Liu Xuelian’s experience was just the thing!

Sisi smiled ironically. In her previous life, she hated those two-faced people the most, yet now she had learned to put on an act as well?

No matter, this world is inherently hypocritical, and reality forces us to wear false masks. It’s fine as long as you are sincere with your friends!

Sisi took a deep breath, raised the tea cup in her hand, nodded to the moon in the sky, and drank the tea in one gulp.
