"": 200, "": "", "": "Mm."
Luo Feng showed little change in expression and nodded.
Zhong Zhicheng paused only briefly before continuing, "The problems in the village are already enough to leave us overwhelmed, and we're short of people as it is. You know perfectly well how important these Outsiders are."
"Handle them properly, and they're fresh blood. Now they've become the greatest source of upheaval in the village!"
"You must find them before the day is out! Otherwise, you can forget about being leader of the Able-Bodied Team!"
Three statements, all delivered with an exceptionally hard line!
Luo Feng merely met Zhong Zhicheng's eyes. He voiced no objection.
But to Luo Bin, those words were painfully grating.
There was a saying: nobody was perfect.

No, did he think his subordinates ought to be flawless?
Face the consequences? What consequences?
A Village Tour?
If he couldn't find them today, he would lose his position as leader of the Able-Bodied Team?
Honestly, Luo Bin knew that if they had arrived a little earlier, they might have caught that group leaving.
But back to the point: was everyone supposed to be Zhong Zhicheng's eyes, ears, hands, and feet, carrying out every task he assigned exactly as instructed?

Who wasn't liable to make mistakes?
When Luo Feng had gone to scout the route, Zhong Zhicheng had told him to go several miles farther. Luo Feng had gone farther, not less.
When he had been told to make the second trip to Qiang Village, Luo Feng had obeyed without question.
Luo Feng had also led the first Village Search.
Those were only the things
