As an outsider, Chen Ying rarely gets involved in the disputes of local residents.
This time was no exception. After standing at a distance to watch for a while, he was about to turn and leave but hadn't walked far when he heard someone calling his name.
"Chen, thank heavens you're back." The chubby village chief ran all the way from his house, speaking in an exaggerated tone which made Chen Ying feel obliged to help.
Chen Ying frowned. He didn't mind lending a hand for a small favor and wasn't too concerned about benefits, but the village chief's tone was unsettling, making him feel somewhat offended.
Just as he was about to find an excuse to decline, a scream came from the crowd, followed by exclamations.
In the next moment, a white-furred animal dashed out of the crowd, running towards him.
Chen Ying's expression changed slightly. He was about to crouch down when the white animal suddenly changed direction mid-way, darting into the garden of another resident's home.
