Chapter 67: This Cannot Be Settled Peacefully!
“Shut up!”
“I asked you people who led the charge!”
Director Gu impatiently cut off the internal strife of the Zhang family.
Lin Wan held back Huang Guixiang, who was about to speak, and managed to squeeze out a few tears. “Hello, Director Gu!”
“This whole thing started because of me!”
The moment Director Gu heard this, he impatiently gestured for his men to handcuff Lin Wan.
Lin Wan could see right through him—this Director Gu was clearly biased toward that gang. But unfortunately for him, since he had run into her, there would be no playing favorites today!
Lin Wan stated sharply, “Director Gu, without thoroughly investigating the situation, you have absolutely no right to arrest me!”
With that, she pulled out her work ID card and handed it to the police officer who had already unclipped the handcuffs.
“Hello, comrade. I would like to file a report!”
“My name is Lin Wan, and this is my work ID.”
“Here is what happened: This house belongs to us. We possess legal and compliant documentation, and the transfer was personally processed by Comrade Xu Guandong.”
“Yet these people, knowing perfectly well that the house belongs to us, still committed home invasion and robbery, and even acted like hoodlums toward me, a military dependent.”
“My husband is a military officer fighting on the front lines to protect our home and country, yet these people are using Director Xu Guandong’s name to bully and tyrannize me.”
“If so many warm-hearted neighbors hadn’t stepped up to help today, I might have met with a terrible fate.”
“If something happens to me, it will inevitably affect my husband. If he is affected and commits an error in his line of duty, the resulting losses to our country and people could be completely immeasurable.”
“Therefore, I severely suspect that they have been bought out by hostile foreign forces…”
The crowd: “…”
Director Gu: “…”
Holy crap!
A layer of cold sweat instantly broke out across Director Gu’s back. He knew that no one would dare spin such a massive lie in public, because it would be incredibly easy to verify! If she were proven to be lying, just the single charge of impersonating a military dependent alone would get her sent straight to a labor reform camp.
Home invasion and robbery.
Acting like a hoodlum.
Abusing a military dependent.
The buffs were fully stacked!!!
Director Gu immediately turned to another officer and said, “Quickly, go place a call to Director Xu and explain the situation.”
The typical plot from webnovel short dramas—where the antagonist resolutely refuses to believe the female lead, refuses to place a call to verify the facts, and blindly bullies the lead to the very end—failed to materialize.
Lin Wan felt a trace of disappointment. Why does everyone have to possess a brain…
Sigh…
Another few potential extortion targets lost.
And a few less face-slapping spectacles to enjoy!
When Director Xu received the call, he felt completely out of sorts. He called Wang Sufen to tag along, and they rushed over together.
Along the way, Director Xu warned Wang Sufen, saying, “I will not help your younger brother, nor do I possess the capability to help him!”
“If you want to help him yourself, you better first weigh whether you actually have the strength to do so!”
“Your family might spoil him, but the people out in society certainly won’t!”
“Home invasion and robbery, acting like a hoodlum toward a military dependent, gang crime… added together, it’s enough to face the firing squad!”
“If you continue to be this mindless, you can just prepare to collect your brother’s corpse!”
He was truly driven mad with rage. This brother-in-law of his was far too capable of seeking absolute death! Wang Jinbao was the solitary male seedling of the Wang family lineage!
Hearing these words, Wang Sufen’s legs turned entirely soft!
“How on earth can that Lin Wan be this venomous?!”
“A person like her will surely die a horrible death!”
“Is Huaiming’s superior officer completely blind? To take a fancy to a trouble magnet like her!”
Over the past few days, Director Xu had harbored immense grievances against her, so he lacked the patience to explain the details to her at all. Consequently, just like Xu Hui, Wang Sufen had no idea that Lin Wan’s partner was actually Huo Xiao. She hadn’t connected the dots to Huo Xiao at all.
Director Xu massaged his temples. He felt remarkably exhausted. He wanted a divorce. He urgently wanted a divorce. Other people’s wives were gentle, virtuous, and reasonable, while his own wife… But he couldn’t divorce her. He was terrified it would impact his son.
“Just shut your trap!”
“Your brother was the one who stirred up this trouble!”
“Did Comrade Lin Wan hold a knife to his throat to force him into the house?”
“If you keep acting like this, your brother is bound to die sooner or later!”
Wang Sufen blew her top. “Xu Guandong, you’re cursing my brother!”
Director Xu stopped talking entirely. Dealing with a complete fool was truly exhausting.
All along the way, Wang Sufen grumbled and complained incessantly like a broken record, while Director Xu kept his lips tightly pressed together, remaining utterly silent.
Arriving at the small courtyard house.
Spotting Wang Jinbao’s thoroughly battered, wretched state, Wang Sufen felt completely out of sorts. “Jinbao, who beat you into this state?”
Seeing his backing arrive, Wang Jinbao immediately propped himself up. He pointed a finger straight at Lin Wan. “Sister, it’s that bitch. That bitch found people to thrash me!”
After lodging his complaint, he turned to bark provocatively at Lin Wan, “Bitch, if you drop to your knees right now to kowtow and apologize, this young master might consider letting one of you off the hook!”
When Lin Wan was explaining the situation to the public security comrades earlier, his entire body had been wracked with pain, so he hadn’t paid any attention.
“Just shut your trap!”
“That mouth is meant for eating, not for spewing pure filth!” Director Xu was driven so mad he blurted out curse words!
He turned to Director Gu and said, “Director Gu, I can personally verify that this house belongs to these two comrades.” With that, he cast a glare at the completely dumbfounded Wang Jinbao. “Several days ago, I explicitly informed him that the house had changed owners and he could not use it.”
Wang Jinbao felt entirely out of sorts, completely unable to believe his own ears! His own brother-in-law was actually helping an outsider!!!
Following that, Director Xu turned back to Lin Wan and Huang Guixiang. “Comrade Huang Guixiang, Comrade Lin Wan, I am deeply sorry. I failed to properly handle the follow-up matters regarding the house. I offer you my sincere apologies.”
Lin Wan quickly replied, “It’s quite alright, this matter isn’t your fault!” Since Director Xu’s attitude was excellent, Lin Wan’s attitude was naturally excellent as well.
By now, Director Gu’s forehead was fully drenched in sweat. Director Xu’s attitude spoke volumes. Seeing that Director Xu had apologized, he hurriedly followed suit: “I am deeply sorry, Comrade Huang Guixiang, Comrade Lin Wan. I failed to get a proper handle on the situation just now.”
Lin Wan said with a smile, “Director Gu was merely acting out of urgency, I can completely understand that!”
“After hearing my account, you didn’t blindly believe one side, but proactively sought verification instead. You are an excellent leader! We working people precisely need an excellent leader like you!”
Lin Wan gave him full face and respect. The heavy anxiety tightening Director Gu’s heart finally loosened completely.
Seeing that Director Xu refused to help him, the completely dumbfounded Wang Jinbao felt thoroughly out of sorts, and the gang beside him was equally flabbergasted.
One thug muttered in a low whisper, “Holy crap, that woman surnamed Huang—could she be your brother-in-law’s mistress?”
Wang Jinbao instantly felt as if he had experienced a sudden burst of realization. “Fine, Brother-in-law! You gave my bridal home away to your mistress, you…”
Slap!
Huang Guixiang lunged forward, grabbed his hair in a death grip, and delivered a ferocious slap across his face.
Slap!
Another crisp slap rang out, but this one landed squarely on Wang Sufen’s face. Wang Sufen had stepped forward to shield Wang Jinbao.
She tightly covered Wang Jinbao’s mouth, repeatedly offering apologies to Huang Guixiang: “Comrade Huang, I am deeply sorry, please don’t lower yourself to his level, he is still just a child!”
Lin Wan rolled her eyes. “Right, he’s still a child who needs an older sister like you to hold him to relieve himself! Allow me to remind you, my mom counts as a military dependent as well! Defaming and slandering a military dependent and a state cadre—that’s another layer of severe crime!”
“When the multiple crimes are penalized concurrently…”
“Take a guess—will it be a life sentence, or facing the firing squad?”
Wang Sufen stared at Lin Wan with a trembling frame. This little vixen was an absolute demon! She was far too venomous! She wanted to ensure Jinbao’s absolute death!
Initially, Lin Wan had merely intended to demand seven or eight hundred yuan to make the family surnamed Wang bleed heavily so they wouldn’t dare look for trouble with her again. But now, since Wang Jinbao had actually dared to slander Comrade Huang Guixiang, this matter absolutely could not be settled peacefully!
