A Good Country Wife

Chapter 693: Chapter 686_1 Chapter 693: Chapter 686_1 Lin Yue, no matter how strong her patience, couldn’t help it when she heard Quan An’s shameless remarks, not to mention that Quan An had so blatantly stated his intentions. Such shameless thoughts were utterly despicable. Her face turned as cold as ice.

“As the Magistrate of Xin’an City, the parental official of the people, you should be thinking of their welfare. Instead of neglecting your duties, greedily accepting bribes, and perverting the law, you dare to commit such acts. Disguising as bandits to kidnap civilians, extorting money, and harboring such malicious thoughts. A person like you deserves to be an official as much as a dog deserves to assist tyranny. You will sooner or later meet a bad end. I’ll say it again, where are Dalang and his brothers? Hand them over immediately!”

Seeing that Lin Yue was not only unfazed by his intimidation but also aggressively demanding the release of the captives, Quan An realized that mere threats were useless against her. This woman was not one to be compared with ordinary women; she appeared gentle and frail yet was fiercely strong. Moreover, with the situation in his favor, Quan An, backed by his numerous followers, confidently prepared to take action against the trio of Lin Yue. “It seems you prefer punishment over a polite drink. Come on, tie her up.”

At Quan An’s command, the group he had brought with him began to surround Lin Yue. She remained calm and stopped Haishi and the other from stepping forward to fight the bandits. Despite their excellent fighting skills, facing such numbers, they would inevitably be at a disadvantage. Of course, it was out of the question for Lin Yue to surrender without a fight. She calmly took out a small ball-like object from her person and tossed it to the ground. Instantly, upon impact, it burst with a loud ‘bang,’ releasing a thick cloud of white smoke that rapidly spread in all directions.
