Chapter 168 Using Backdoors

No one expected Du Ruoxia to suddenly attack, and even after hitting someone, she remained so arrogant.

Liu Haitao was the first to be stunned, and he didn't react for a long time after being hit.

Who could imagine that he would be hit by a woman? And in public, no less.

The others stared in astonishment, their mouths agape in surprise, some even making exaggerated gestures, as if they could fit an egg into their mouths.

Taking this opportunity, Du Ruoxia pushed Liu Haitao aside and continued walking into the house.

Liu Haitao's cheeks burned with pain. He had never been hit before in his life, let alone by a woman.

Once he realized what was happening, he was instantly enraged and grabbed Du Ruoxia by the back of her collar.

"You damn bitch, how dare you hit me? You're asking for it!"

Du Ruoxia stumbled a step after being dragged by him, and when she came to her senses, she was immediately filled with rage.

She had expected Liu Haitao to lay a hand on her, but she never imagined he could be even more shameless.

A grown man groping and pulling at a woman—he's shameless, but she is!

Du Ruoxia wasn't entirely unprepared; she had been holding two silver needles in her hand the whole time.

As she turned around, she didn't hesitate to insert the needle into the acupoints on his body.

Liu Haitao suddenly felt numb all over, and Du Ruoxia took the opportunity to break free from his grip.

Seeing that the crowd was about to break up the fight, Du Ruoxia put away her silver needles and slapped him twice more across the face.

"Who gave you the audacity to lay a hand on your aunt?"

"I think you're used to being arrogant and domineering, and you don't even know how to behave when you need someone's help."

"Since you look down on me, then don't come looking for me. I'm not willing to deliver your wife's baby, and the life or death of your wife and child is none of my business. What right do you have to morally blackmail me? This is a new society now. I'm not your servant, and I don't need to keep revolving around you!"

Liu Haitao tried to grab her arm, but Du Ruoxia shook him off and kicked him twice on the kneecap.

Liu Haitao's body was numb, and with the pain in his knees, his body leaned backward uncontrollably, and he finally knelt straight on the ground.

This was the first time the onlookers had seen Du Ruoxia take action, but it was also the first time they had seen her so fierce.

This completely overturned their understanding and made them realize a truth: appearances can be deceiving.

Du Ruoxia is usually easy to talk to, but that doesn't mean she has no temper or can be manipulated by others.

Liu Haitao was considered an oddball in their family compound.

Although he is arrogant, he is indeed quite capable.

After several years of hard work and struggle, he finally rose to the position of company commander.

Even those who were his peers, who usually preferred to avoid trouble, treated him with exceptional politeness.

Liu Haitao saw that everyone was lifting him up.

Because of this, everyone felt that they couldn't fight city hall, and the voices of opposition became fewer and fewer.

Liu Haitao was used to making decisions on his own, but no one could do anything about it.

Today, Liu Haitao got into a fight with Staff Officer Yang's wife, and it's still unknown what the consequences will be.

They originally thought that Staff Officer Yang had gone on a mission and that Du Ruoxia might not be able to handle the situation alone.

Unexpectedly, she dominated the entire room with her words, even leaving Liu Haitao from the energy sector speechless.

Not only that, Liu Haitao was even hit by her.

Everyone was excited, but no one dared to show it.

Liu Haitao is a vengeful person, and they dare not provoke him easily.

However, after learning what had happened, they were already on Du Ruoxia's side.

Liu Haitao knelt on the ground, and the two comrades quickly helped him up.

"Du Ruoxia, you little bitch, you didn't deliver my wife's baby and you made me lose face. I'm going to kill you today."

Liu Haitao got up from the ground and was about to go forward. His hands and body were covered in mud, and even his face was smeared with it. He looked disheveled.

The two comrades grabbed his arms and held him down tightly, while continuing to persuade him.

"Liu Haitao, don't be impulsive. Du Ruoxia is Staff Officer Yang's wife. No matter how angry you are, you can't lay a hand on her."

"Another point I think Dr. Du is right about is that she is indeed not a doctor with a formal military appointment. She can treat patients whenever she wants and not when she doesn't want to."

"When you're asking someone for a favor, you need to lower your stance first. If you're acting all aggressive, who's going to bother with you? Even if someone originally wanted to come, they won't dare to now."

On the surface, everyone was helping Liu Haitao, but in reality, they first kept him firmly under control and then severely suppressed him.

They had already been thoroughly tormented by this mentally ill patient.

It's rare to find someone willing to take the lead and teach him a lesson.

If they don't take this opportunity to have some fun, they might miss out on a golden chance.

"You, you are all very good!"

Liu Haitao was so angry that he gritted his teeth and couldn't even finish his sentence.

"We're all thinking of you; everyone here is really nice."

Someone brazenly spoke up in the crowd, deliberately using a high-pitched voice. When Liu Haitao turned around, everyone shut their mouths, and no one admitted to having said anything.

Liu Haitao turned around and continued, "All of you shut up, or you'll all be in trouble!"

In his anger, Liu Haitao didn't care about anything else when he said those things.

"Oh dear! We're really scared!"

"Liu Haitao, you're really amazing!"

"Everyone here is at least at your level, and a few are even higher than you. I don't know what you're showing off for!"

While he turned around, everyone unleashed another barrage of attacks. This time, Du Ruoxia didn't even need to say a word; the other comrades took the initiative to torment him.

Liu Haitao was so angry that his face turned red and his neck bulged. Du Ruoxia glanced at him lazily, then turned around and went home.

When Liu Haitao saw her about to leave, he went crazy, twisting his body wildly in an attempt to stop Du Ruoxia from going back.

Du Ruoxia had already opened the door to her house and put down the things in the basket.

Just when everyone thought she would shut the door and shut everything out, Du Ruoxia dusted off imaginary dust from her hands and walked out again in front of everyone.

She stood a meter away from Liu Haitao, coldly watching him.

"I heard you got in through connections? Is that why you're so arrogant and domineering, looking down on everyone?"

Du Ruoxia's voice was cold and urgent, and Liu Haitao didn't know how to respond for a moment.

“Even though I am Yang Zeyan’s wife, you dare to disregard my wishes and force me to deliver your wife’s baby.”

"I don't know if you look down on me, or my husband, or if you've never cared about anyone at all?"

“You are now a soldier under my husband’s command. If you can’t even learn the most basic respect, it’s a waste of your time to stay in the army.”
