"Let him go. We're from the same village, there's no need to get the police involved."
While everyone was awaiting Zhang Xiaowei's decision, to their surprise, he released Liu Datou and calmly said just that.
At his words, everyone was startled.
The village chief couldn't believe it, frowning in confusion, "But... maybe we should still call the police. At least they could lock up this kid for a few days, and by the time he gets out, we'll have settled the brick factory issue."
Liu Datou's face was icy as he glared at Zhang Xiaowei and snapped, "Don't think that by doing this, I'll owe you a favor. I repeat, whoever dares to mess with my brick factory, I'll fight them to the death."
Zhang Xiaowei gave a wry, helpless smile, finding his decision unpopular with both sides.
"The reason I let you go wasn't to have you owe me, but simply because I didn't want to see you stir up trouble."
Having said that, Zhang Xiaowei sighed helplessly.
