When Jie Chen said he'd beaten up the kid who gave him directions last time, Zhao Jun immediately understood the situation. He motioned for Jie Chen to get behind him and went to face the crowd himself.
Just then, Village Chief Zhao Guofeng rushed over.
After Zhao Jun explained the situation, everyone realized that Jie Chen was the reason behind the nickname Zhang Shaoji.
But regardless of what Zhang Laibao had done wrong, they couldn't just let an outsider bully one of their own.
However, Zhao Jun and Wang Meilan were both assertive, insisting on protecting Jie Chen no matter what. With the mother and son blocking the way, everyone was wary and didn't dare make a move against Jie Chen.
In the end, Zhao Guofeng stepped in to mediate. He reached an agreement with Jie Chen to let bygones be bygones, thus resolving the conflict.
Seeing the crowd disperse, Wang Meilan offered Jie Chen a quick apology before inviting him inside.
