Before Luo Lifu could respond, Hong Li quickly replied, "They both deserved to die; they got what they deserved by actually falling for you sincerely, and wanting to follow you loyally. They even persuaded me and Hong Mei to betray as well."
"Hmph, such fools!"
They were truly blinded with lard, What good comes from fleeing with you? The gold and silver awarded to us by the Prefectural Governor are what matter!"
Fang Zhixing's face tightened, and he slowly turned his head, asking, "And what about you, Hong Lu?"
Hong Lu's face turned panic-stricken, and she stuttered, "I, I..."
Hong Li interrupted, "Hong Lu was just playing along with you, she doesn't fancy you either."
Fang Zhixing nodded, understanding the situation, then suddenly sneered, scoffing, "Hong Li, remember, all of this is your own doing."
Hong Li sneered back, "You're a kidnapper, better worry about yourself than us."
