"Miss Zhou, could you please open the door? Master Ding specifically sent us to inform you that there is no need to worry anymore," Zhang Lin repeated.
As instructed by Ding Gaochang, he needed to ensure that Zhou Daya was safe and prevent her from taking any rash actions due to this incident.
However, in Zhang Lin's eyes, if he were the one who'd had to face a life-threatening situation like this, he would undoubtedly be enraged, ready to make his enemies regret, even if it meant sacrificing his own life.
Regrettably, the law is the law.
Those villagers who almost drove Zhou Daya to death were wrong, and complicity in such an act is abhorrent. But they were misled and didn't actually kill Zhou Daya. Thus, their punishment would not be severe.
If Zhou Daya were to retaliate out of anger and harm someone, that would be a real crime against the law, and it would bring about severe punishment.
