Chapter 101 Liquidation

...As for whether or not to use force, that's another matter.

He slightly curled his lips, a barely perceptible hint of coldness flashing in his eyes.

Yang Zhi responded with a faint "yes".

"Well, that's for the best. Things have come to this point, if you can't make it work, then get a divorce. Don't make a big fuss. You two should discuss it properly, and then we'll head back."

The Shen family members nodded quickly.

"Don't worry, we will definitely talk calmly and peacefully!"

Shen Xuelin quickly responded.

"Our Shen family never bullies others by abusing our power."

"Okay, then we're off."

Yang Zhi said no more, only nodded.

Yang Zhi's gaze slowly swept over everyone, finally settling on Shen Cuifen.

He always felt that the kidnapping of Lu Jianguo and Zhou Yangyu was related to Shen Cuifen.

The rope was tied neatly and the technique was swift, unlike something an ordinary person would do on a whim.

Since the parties involved are not pursuing the matter themselves, there is no need for him to interfere further.

Having fulfilled my duties, the rest is their family matter.

Shen Cuifen felt a chill run down her spine when Yang Zhi looked at her like that.

Her hands, however, clenched tightly without her realizing it.

Fortunately, Yang Zhi only glanced at it.

She let out a soft breath.

"Get out of here right now!"

Shen Xuelin suddenly roared and kicked Lu Jianguo hard in the buttocks.

Lu Jianguo cried out in pain.

Yang Juanhua rushed over immediately, her heart aching, and pointed at Shen Xuelin, shouting.

"How dare you kick my son! Are you even human? He's your son-in-law!"

"Old woman, if you say another word, believe me, I'll hit you too!"

Shen Xuelin glared at her fiercely.

"The police are gone now! I'm all alone now! I'll beat up anyone who tries to stop me!"

Yang Juanhua shrank back in fright and dared not utter another sound.

Lu Jianguo was dragged home by Shen Xuelin and his two brothers-in-law, who were holding his arms.

He wanted to resist but dared not, and could only beg for mercy in a low voice.

Seeing that the matter was settled, the crowd gradually dispersed.

No one would actually follow Shen Cuifen to her house to watch the spectacle.

After all, it's their family matter, and you can't just barge in.

Wang Juhua walked to Shen Cuifen's side with a worried expression.

"Cuifen, are you alright? Why is your face so pale? Just now... that was really scary."

Shen Cuifen forced a smile and shook her head.

"Chrysanthemum, thank you so much for today, Erzhu. If you hadn't arrived in time, I really wouldn't know how I would have handled things. Don't worry too much, I know what I'm doing. You should go back and rest, it's getting dark."

"I still have to deal with that bastard. In a couple of days, once everything is settled, I'll definitely thank you both properly and treat you to a decent meal."

If they hadn't suddenly appeared and disrupted Lu Jianguo and Yang Juanhua's plans...

She has no idea how much effort she'll have to put in tonight.

The couple glanced back at the Lu and Shen families and nodded.

He then turned and left the courtyard filled with conflict.

In the Lu family's courtyard

Lu Jianguo, wearing only his underwear, was forced to kneel on the ground by his two brothers-in-law.

"Let me go! I've already told you I'm going to finalize my divorce with Shen Cuifen soon! Why are you still making me kneel here? What is this? Are you forcing me to kneel and confess my sins?"

Lu Jianguo's face turned red as he struggled desperately.

No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't move.

He had not eaten a single bite of food or drunk a single drop of water for a full day and night.

They were no match for two strong, adult men.

Shen Yongcai suddenly raised his hand and slapped Lu Jianguo hard across the face.

With a crisp "snap".

"Lu Jianguo!"

Shen Yongcai's voice exploded like thunder.

"You used all those sweet words and false promises to make my sister happy, but behind her back you tricked her into signing the marriage certificate! What despicable means did you use to force my sister to marry you?! Huh?!"

"After so many years of marriage, have you ever treated her well? Have you ever fulfilled your responsibilities as a husband for even a single day? Not only do you not live a stable life, but you also cheat on her with other women! And when you come home, you treat her coldly!"

"You think you can erase all your mistakes by saying 'let's get a divorce' now? Dream on!"

Anger flared in Shen Yongcai's eyes.

"If this were back in the old days, I would have skinned you alive today! If it weren't for the laws and procedures we follow now, I would really want you to disappear from this world forever!"

Lu Jianguo's head buzzed from the blow.

But he still refused to admit defeat.

"Ha...haha...don't pretend to be so high and mighty! We're all men, don't you know your place? Go back and look in the mirror, can you still call Shen Cuifen a woman? Lying in the same bed with her every night, I can't even eat, I feel nauseous!"

He decided to give up entirely.

"Anyway, we're getting a divorce tomorrow, so I'm too lazy to pretend anymore! I'll just say it here: who would want a woman like her after the divorce? She'll just be left to die alone and miserable at home!"

At this moment, Yang Juanhua, who was standing to the side, pointed at the Shen family members with her head held high and shouted.

"That's right! Every single one of you in the Shen family is a bad person! How dare you hit my son! You're utterly lawless! Tomorrow, as soon as the divorce papers are finalized, pack up all of Shen Cuifen's belongings! From this day forward, she's not allowed to set foot in my house again!"

She was extremely pleased with herself, feeling that she could finally kick that "jinx" daughter-in-law out of the house.

Upon hearing this, the Shen family members were instantly enraged.

He wished he could rush up and tear Lu Jianguo and Yang Juanhua to pieces.

"Yonglin! Yongcai!"

Shen Xuelin took a sudden step forward, his voice low and cold.

"Beat him hard! Beat him to death! If we don't teach him a lesson today, how will the Shen family save face!"

Shen Yonglin and Shen Yongcai could no longer contain their anger.

He raised his big foot and kicked Lu Jianguo hard.

"You dared to bully my sister! You're so unrepentant! You have such a foul mouth!"

Shen Yongcai kicked and roared.

Thinking of her daughter, whom she had cherished since childhood, now being subjected to emotional abuse by her husband.

They even have to endure this humiliation before the divorce.

At the same time, Song Qiaoying grabbed Yang Juanhua by the collar.

"You old hag! Wasn't that slap too lenient? Now you dare to yell and stir up trouble here! You're no better than your son who's done such a terrible thing!"

"If you dare utter another word of nonsense, don't blame me for being ruthless! Believe me or not, I'll show you what family discipline is like right now!"

The Shen family all knew this.

Once the divorce proceedings are completed, Lu Jianguo and Yang Juanhua will become outsiders.

No matter how deep the hatred, it can only be resolved according to the law, and cannot be resolved through private means.

Tonight is their last chance to "get justice".

The family's dignity, the resentment accumulated over the years, and the humiliation suffered by Shen Cuifen must all be thoroughly settled on this night.

Shen Cuifen's two sisters-in-law, fearing that their mother-in-law would suffer, quickly came over to help hold Yang Juanhua down.

Suddenly, a chorus of cries for parents filled the courtyard.

"Slap! Slap! Slap!"

Yang Juanhua's screams were heart-wrenching.

The men of the Shen family all had tears in their eyes.

"Ouch! Someone's been killed! Help!"

Yang Juanhua howled and shouted.

"Zhonghe! Zhongping! Help me! Grandma's going to be beaten to death!"
