Chapter 95: A Betrayal from a Relative

Liu Shuanglu, seeing the onlookers siding against him, angrily pointed at Da Bao’s grandma, who was leading the charge. "If you can't speak properly, then shut up! What do you mean I incited them? I was just trying to stop the child from crying..."

Noticing that Liang Yaohui was keeping his head down, scribbling in his notebook as if he hadn’t noticed him at all, Liu Shuanglu lowered his voice and threatened Da Bao’s grandma.

"I’m telling you, Tang Chunhua, I’m retired now, with nothing to do at home, unlike your Da Bao, who’s still studying at Chengxi Elementary School, or your Er Gou, who’s still working at the glass factory..."

Da Bao’s grandma’s eyes widened in fear. "Officer, did you hear that? He’s threatening me, saying he’ll ruin my son’s job and harm my grandson."

"I’m telling you, Liu Shuanglu, everyone here heard what you said. If anything happens to my Da Bao or Er Gou, it’s definitely your doing. Don’t blame me if I risk everything to settle the score with you!"

Liang Yaohui, with a cold expression, spoke calmly, "Enough, enough. Stop arguing. Comrade Su An is correct. You should cover the medical expenses for Liu Guojun’s family. When you encouraged them to fight, you should have expected this outcome."

As he spoke, Liang Yaohui quickly glanced outside and continued to press Liu Shuanglu calmly.

"I heard what you just said. Were you threatening her?"

"No, officer, I was just talking to her normally..."

"Good. Remember, you can’t break the law. We’re all neighbors here, and we should live in peace."

Su An looked at Liang Yaohui, sensing something was wrong. What was he looking at outside?

Su An scanned the scene and then felt a surge of delight.

The other officer was gone. Oh ho ho ho~.

No wonder Liang Yaohui was being so lenient.

When did He Jiawang leave? She hadn’t even noticed.

Liang Yaohui must be stalling, waiting for his colleague to bring backup, right?

Su An grabbed Da Bao’s grandma, who was about to step forward and argue, and whispered a few words in her ear.

Da Bao’s grandma’s face lit up. "Really?"

Su An tilted her head. "Just watch and see."

Da Bao’s grandma squinted, scanning the crowd, then turned excitedly and squeezed her way out.

Seeing Liang Yaohui’s softened tone, Liu Shuanglu became bolder. With Cui Yuanfeng by his side, he began to flatter Liang Yaohui, pleading for leniency.

"Mom, Guojun is in pain. Look at the sweat on his forehead. Wuwuwu, Guojun, are you okay? Hang in there, just a little longer."

"Mom, let’s take Guojun to the hospital first, okay?"

"Uncle~"

Cui Yuanfeng, with her two sons, was trailing behind Liu Shuanglu, continuously arguing with Liang Yaohui, trying to secure a lighter punishment for herself. She had no time to pay attention to Zhang Manyu.

Zhang Manyu, seeing that no one was taking care of Liu Guojun, shot a venomous glance at Cui Yuanfeng and Liu Guohua’s group.

As the group jostled each other, they nearly stepped on Liu Guojun, who was lying on the ground.

She quickly called her two sons to help move Liu Guojun to the side.

Su Ping, his hands full of items, glanced at the chaos at the Liu family's place and asked Su An, "An An, should we head home?"

Su An, full of gossip, replied, "I'll stick around a little longer."

"Should I take the stuff back first?"

Seeing her sister nod, Su Ping, protecting the items in his arms, pushed his way out, his large frame making it a tight squeeze.

Shortly after stepping outside, he spotted Da Bao’s grandma leading a group of people rushing toward the Liu family.

As they passed by, he noticed the eager, almost feverish looks on the faces of those trailing behind Da Bao’s grandma.

Su Ping stopped in his tracks.

He looked down at the eggs he was carrying, then at the nearby home entrance.

Clutching the eggs carefully, he hurried back, deciding to watch the commotion first.

What if they were backup for that nasty old hag?

Da Bao’s grandma pointed at the crowd and said to the people behind her, "A Lian, your husband’s in there. Ximei, the cop’s inside too."

The woman called A Lian was a robust fifty-year-old woman, her wide hips swaying side to side as she shoved her way through the crowd.

Her eyes scanned around, then she grabbed Liu Shuangcai, who was beside Liu Shuanglu, and grabbed his ear with a grip like iron.

Liu Shuangcai yelped in pain.

Seeing the uniformed Liang Yaohui looking over, A Lian quickly forced a smile and explained, "Officer, this is my man, he’s a clueless idiot, a total blockhead. If he's done anything wrong, I apologize to you here, I apologize."

Aunt A Lian said, fiercely pulling Liu Shuangcai's ear and dragging him out, "You idiot, always thinking with your stomach, never learning your lesson, doing whatever others tell you, never getting the good stuff, always involved in the bad. How many times have I told you to stay away from that black-hearted thing?"

"Get home now!"

A Lian came and went quickly, yanking Liu Shuangcai by the ear like she was leading a stubborn pig, pulling him out of the house.

Liu Shuangcai, howling as he was dragged, still managed to shout back, "Big brother, second brother, I'm going home first."

Liu Shuanglu watched as his lackey was hauled off and heard his sister-in-law A Lian's indirect scolding, feeling his anger rise.

At that moment, a thin, gray-haired old woman in the crowd caught his attention; it was his wife, Huang Ximei.

Embarrassed, he lashed out at Ximei with a kick, "Nothing to do at home, coming here to watch the fun? Just like those nosy busybodies, always sticking their noses in other people’s business, huh?"

Huang Ximei took the kick without a word, her eyes blazing with intensity.

Liang Yaohui quickly scolded Liu Shuanglu, "What are you doing? No hitting!"

Liu Shuanglu, with a flattering smile, said, "Officer, I wasn’t hitting her. She’s my wife, and she needs to learn her place, with so much to do at home, she comes here to watch the fun."

Da Bao’s grandma shot Liu Shuanglu a glare and helped Huang Ximei to her feet.

Then she looked towards the door.

Outside Fuqing Street, a few distant figures slowly came into view, and Da Bao’s grandma squinted her eyes, "Ximei, they're here, they're here, look, aren’t those cops?"

Huang Ximei followed Da Bao’s grandma's gaze and saw the uniformed officers stopping their bicycles at the Liu family's door.

She gathered her courage and stepped boldly forward, "Officers, I’m here to report Liu Shuanglu for bullying the neighbors, acting like a thug, and carrying on with inappropriate relationships, disregarding morals and having an affair with his sister-in-law, and even got her pregnant with his illegitimate child!"
