Pulling Rui Shuren with him, Chen Ru did manage to make it out of the building and reach the street, but he came to an abrupt halt when he saw several villagers clearly waiting to ambush him, their expression cold and ruthless akin to executioners. Among them was Ma Boliu, along with a few elders he had seen in the meeting hall before.

Cursing up a storm inside his heart, he cautiously maintained some distance while shielding Rui Shuren behind him. His entire body was tense and on high alert, ready to put up a fight in case they pulled a weapon on him again.
