Although Du Heng remained silent, he listened intently. However, the faint smile playing on his lips made Li Jun increasingly flustered and gave him palpitations.
Moreover, the growing indifference from the surrounding elderly, coupled with their blunt remarks, soured Li Jun's mood further.
He knew perfectly well what he was up to.
He lacked confidence, and Du Heng's smile unnerved him. His boasting gradually dwindled in volume until he fell completely silent.
Li Jun stopped talking, but Du Heng picked up. "Finished?"
"Yeah." Li Jun felt an inexplicable surge of nervousness.
"I have a few questions. Clarifying things will benefit everyone. If there are no issues, I'll help you mobilize the village. What do you say?"
Li Jun swallowed. Although he didn't know what Du Heng might ask, he grew increasingly nervous. The sight of Du Heng, smiling faintly, put immense pressure on him.
He didn't even know where this pressure was coming from.
