Chapter 27 No Forgiveness

Su Le pointed his stick at Li Lai Di, Li Cui Hua, Wu Xiang, and Zhang Li. "You're not slandering, you're defaming. You might not know what defamation means, but let me explain. Deliberately fabricating and spreading false facts is enough to defame someone's character and damage their reputation. In serious cases, according to Article 246 of the National Criminal Law, using violence or other means to publicly insult others or fabricating facts to defame them is punishable by eating peanuts for three years! Do you understand what I mean?"

Su Le said to Zhang Li, "Aunt Zhang, you're so old now, you probably don't want to spend your later years in prison, right? If you tell me who else is slandering me, I can tell the police to be lenient with you."

When Zhang Li heard that they could get a lighter sentence, she immediately pointed out several people, "Zhao Di, Xu Mei, Cai Ju, Li Ling, and Wang Yun."

When Wang Lan heard that her mother was involved, she grabbed Wang Yun and said, "Mom! How can you say such nonsense? You are just making up stories! Did you see it? You just open your mouth and tell it."

Wang Yun muttered softly, "I didn't know you had to drink tea before talking! Oh, my dear, go and ask Su Zhiqing for mercy! This is what Chen Zhiqing told me! I'll just chat with a few of the ladies."

Wang Lan dragged Wang Yun to Su Le and said, "Su Zhiqing, Mom, tell Su Zhiqing!" She whispered in Wang Yun's ear, "That's the girl Fifth Brother has chosen. She'll be his wife in the army! You better admit your mistake!"

Seeing that Wang Lan was still bothering her, Wang Yun told her everything, "Su Zhiqing, it was Chen Zhiqing who was chatting with me and Xu Mei about family matters, asking about Chen Zheng and other things. I was wondering if Chen Zhiqing had a crush on Chen Zheng, so I told her about Chen Zheng's bullying. Then she asked if Su Zhiqing knew he was like this, and they seemed very close. I was just chatting with a few ladies, and I didn't expect what would happen..."

Wang Lan said from the side, "Slander."

Wang Yun quickly responded, "Yes, it's slander. We were just chatting, and Zhang Li said she thought she saw Chen Zheng chatting outside your house. Who knew that the rumor would spread like this... Su Zhiqing, I'm so sorry!"

Su Le didn't make things difficult for her. He walked through the crowd with a stick in hand and pulled Chen Di out. "You're the one who spread this, right?"

Seeing the truth exposed, Chen Di gave up and stopped hiding it. "It's me! Who told you to bully Wanwan? I just can't stand you! Why do all the people follow you? Why do you get all the benefits?"

Su Le didn't want to pay any attention to this idiot, but remembering that Chen Di wasn't there at the time, he grabbed Xia Wan from the crowd as she was about to leave. "Le Le, what are you doing?" Xia Wan asked in horror!

Su Le slapped him, "Chen Di wasn't there, and you weren't there either? What exactly happened? How could you not know?"

Li Li quickly asked, "Xia Zhiqing! If you know what's going on, tell me!"

Xia Wan was frightened and started to cry, cursing in her heart, "What an idiot! He can't even do things cleanly!"

Su Le slapped him again, "I told you to say that! What are you crying for? Did someone in your family die? You're crying here."

Xia Wan knelt on the ground and whispered, "Chen Zheng was here. But he just chatted with them at the door."

Li Cuihua said immediately, "This is the evidence!"

Su Le slapped Li Cuihua in the face again, "Fuck you! You don't understand what chatting is all about, right?" Zhou Dawei and Zhou Dabao couldn't stand it anymore and went up to hit Su Le. Su Le kicked Zhou Dawei down and said, "Come up and try again!"

Zhou Dabao was afraid of the strong and didn't dare to step forward. Su Le grabbed Xia Wan's hair and said, "Tell me clearly! Who are you talking to?"

Xia Wan wore a mask of pain, baring her teeth, her face covered in snot and tears. "Follow Li Zichen!"

Everyone looked at Li Zichen again, and Li Ming asked, "Li Laoyao, why are you still involved?"

Li Zichen said, "I'm going to build a house tomorrow, aren't I? My family has split up, so I brought Li Yaozu to ask Su Zhiqing to borrow a car to go to the county to order materials. Chen Zheng came to me and signed up to help me build the house tomorrow. That's it. I don't know how these words got out."

Li Ming's gaze shot towards Xia Wan, but Chen Di shouted, "Wan Wan! Didn't you say you saw Su Le..."

Xia Wan interrupted her immediately, "I meant Lele and the others were chatting, and I just came back. I also told you not to tell anyone, lest it bring bad reputation to Lele!"

Chen Di's expression changed when he looked at Xia Wan and he clenched his fists.

Xu Jiaojiao came with the police. The police looked at the group of people and asked, "Who wants to call the police?"

Su Le strode forward, "Me! I'm going to sue them for defamation!"

The police first asked about the situation, "Tell me more about it."

Li Zichen took out his military ID, and the policeman immediately saluted, "Hello, Commander."

Li Zichen described the incident in detail, pointing out ten people who the police couldn't take away even with a single car. "Where's the village chief?"

Li Li said, "Here, here." Li Li stepped forward.

"Let your village's ox cart go with us and send these people to the public security bureau!" said the police.

Zhang Li quickly said to Su Le, "Su Zhiqing, I just told you the truth, didn't you agree..."

Su Le patted her hands and said to the police, "Comrade police, Aunt Zhang and Aunt Wang both apologized to me just now, and they didn't say anything too harsh. I choose to forgive them."

The others rushed forward upon hearing this, "Su Zhiqing, I'm sorry, it's my fault for being so mean. I was talking nonsense. I deserve to be beaten. You..."

"Su Zhiqing, I..."

Su Le spoke slowly, "Others will never forgive."

The police car took three people, and the bullock cart took five. When Chen Di left, he said to Su Le, "I'm sorry, I saw her clearly."

Su Le looked at her indifferently.

Li Li said angrily, "Su Zhiqing, why don't you just explain it clearly? Why did you call the police? Now the village's advanced team is gone!"

Su Le hit him on the mouth with a stick. "Didn't I take you away? You're already jumping around? Don't worry! You'll be in there soon!" Li Li's two front teeth were knocked out. He covered his mouth and left quickly to destroy the evidence.

Chen Zheng said from behind, "I'm going to hand in the evidence now!" Then he looked at the others, "I know all the bad things some of you have done! If you dare to provoke me, how can I live up to the name of a bully if I don't fight back?"

Some secretive people have regret written all over their faces! They only want to watch the fun and forget about the bully!
