Secretary Yao rushed over with several militia members in a hurry.
Aunt Juan, after talking to Chiang Xiao, became increasingly worried and, fearing even Chiang Xiao might have been attacked, went to find Secretary Yao with fervent concern.
As soon as Secretary Yao heard that a bunch of lazybones had gotten together to beat someone, and that it was Ge Liutao they were hitting, his heart skipped a beat. He immediately called Yao Cong and others and hurried over.
He knew that Ge Liutao had a weak heart!
If a life had indeed been lost, he, as the secretary, would be to blame as well!
Moreover, if Ge Liutao really died, Chiang Songhai's situation would probably be precarious too. What would Chiang Xiao do then? He had high hopes for Chiang Xiao, believing she could definitely become the village's first college student.
Yao Jubin now felt a mix of valuing Chiang Xiao's talents as well as pity for her circumstances; he absolutely did not want to see any more trouble in her family.
