"Enough, all of you shut up! What time do you think this is to be saying such things?" Li Youcai shouted irritably, and fiercely slammed his hand down on the table, quieting the room instantly. "Since you came here to discuss solutions with me, then behave yourselves."
Li Youcai fully assumed the authority of a long-time village chief, "Those who are not afraid, leave now."
For a long while, no one left.
Li Youcai then continued, "Since none of you left, it shows you all understand the situation. No one is blind here. I may not know the background of those outsiders who came today, but I can see that they are not someone we can afford to provoke."
"Not just can't afford to provoke," Cao Jing, He Yulan's sister-in-law, muttered under her breath.
Though it sounded unpleasant, it struck a chord with everyone present.
