Some people are still alive, but the reality is that they are soon to die, just like Ding Jianbang and Wu Jianguo. Li Fei had already decided where to bury the two of them.
Such calculations were merely based on the greed in their hearts. Even before Li Fei arrived, he had considered that if the two didn't harbor greed and hadn't done what they did before, they probably wouldn't have fallen for such a scheme, especially if they had even a modicum of intelligence. But if they were in the outside world, they would have been somewhat more cautious.
After all, they thought this was Xinghua Village, and believed the villagers were honest and simple, just like everyone else had imagined before. With this assumption, they naturally let down their guard. Even though Wu Jianguo still maintained some level of vigilance, he abandoned certain things under the absolute drive of self-interest.
