Chapter 110: Psychological Suggestion - Aromatherapy

This action seemed to have completely enraged the middle-aged man.

He suddenly burst out from behind his stall, rushing to Su Xiaonuan's cart without a second thought. He pointed his thick finger directly at Su Xiaonuan, who was focused on serving rice to customers, and began swearing wildly, spitting as he spoke:

"I'm talking about you! You shameless little slut! You promiscuous thing! Instead of staying home and behaving yourself, you run out here trying to seduce men! What did your parents teach you? You have no sense of propriety at all! Bah!"

The middle-aged man used foul language that was unbearable to hear, his finger almost poking Su Xiaonuan's face, spitting everywhere.

Su Xiaonuan couldn't help but frown. The stench of sweat and bad breath emanating from him made her take two steps back, creating distance between them. Her face showed undisguised disgust.

Seeing her retreat, the man assumed she was afraid, and became even more arrogant, puffing out his chest and hurling increasingly vile and vulgar insults at Su Xiaonuan, throwing all sorts of baseless accusations at her.

An Ran stood to the side and in front of Su Xiaonuan, trembling with rage at the man's shameless behavior and foul mouth.

Her good upbringing left her momentarily speechless, unable to find words to refute this scoundrel. Her cool, pretty face flushed red, and she clenched her fists so tightly that her fingertips dug into her palms.

Seeing this, Su Xiaonuan reached out and gently pulled An Ran's arm, pulling her back a little, and gave her a reassuring look that said, "Don't bother with this kind of person."

Then, without saying a word, she expressionlessly took out her phone from her pocket, quickly swiped her finger across the screen, and dialed the city's Public Security Bureau directly—not the ordinary 110, but an internal contact number that Lu Zheng had given her before.

The call was answered almost instantly.

"Hello?" A deep, steady male voice came from the other end of the line, with some background noise.

Su Xiaonuan's tone was unusually calm, not at all like she was calling the police for help, but rather like she was stating an objective fact. Her speech was steady and clear: "Hello. This is Su Xiaonuan. I am currently at my food stall in the East Gate Street Garden Square of Jinxiu Community. An unidentified middle-aged man is publicly insulting and verbally abusing me, and is attempting to damage my business equipment. His behavior is aggressive and may endanger public safety. Please send someone to handle this."

As she spoke, her gaze remained coldly fixed on the man who was still jumping up and down and cursing.

When the man saw her take out her phone and point it in their direction, he couldn't see what she was doing and assumed Su Xiaonuan was filming him. His expression instantly changed, becoming even more ferocious. He threatened in a rough voice, "You bitch! You dare film me?! Put your phone down! Believe me or not, I'll smash your junk car!"

As he cursed, he actually stepped forward and reached out to snatch Su Xiaonuan's phone, while also shoving her stall cart violently with his other hand.

Fortunately, this vehicle was a top-of-the-line model with an upgraded system and a sturdy structure. It only wobbled slightly and was completely unharmed.

If it were an ordinary tricycle, he would probably have slapped it so hard it would have dented it.

The man's words and actions were so outrageous that they thoroughly enraged the diners in line and some passersby who couldn't stand it.

"Hey! What are you doing! Why are you touching me like that!"

"Watch your mouth! What did that young girl do to offend you?"

"A grown man bullying a little girl, have you no shame!"

"Stop it! If you keep doing this, we won't be so polite!"

Several strong young men immediately stepped forward and stood between Su Xiaonuan and the man, forming a barrier, and began to criticize them.

Several middle-aged women also joined the protest, hands on their hips.

Surrounded and criticized by the crowd, the man lost face and became even more enraged.

His eyes darted around, and he came up with an extremely vicious yet common tactic of slander. Pointing at Su Xiaonuan, who was being protected by the crowd, he shouted loudly:

"What are you meddling in! She's my wife! This is our family matter! She neglects her family and runs off to mess around, and I can't even say anything?!"

The room fell silent for a moment after he said that.

Diners and passersby were stunned, and subconsciously turned to look at Su Xiaonuan with surprise and questions in their eyes.

After all, it's not uncommon for couples to argue and end up in the street these days. If it's truly a family matter, outsiders shouldn't interfere too much.

Feeling the gazes directed at her, Su Xiaonuan immediately shook her head vigorously, her face displaying a look of grievance and anger at being falsely accused. Her voice trembled slightly as she raised her voice to clarify, "You're lying! I don't know you at all! Who's your wife?! Please don't believe him, he's lying!"

Her big eyes instantly welled up with tears, making her look pitiful. Combined with her petite and adorable appearance, this instantly boosted her credibility.

Upon seeing Su Xiaonuan's reaction, and comparing it to the man's slovenly and lewd appearance, the diners' opinions immediately shifted, and their gazes towards the man were filled with hostility and contempt.

"Pah! Shameless! That young girl doesn't even know you!"

"Give me back my wife? Take a piss and look at yourself in the mirror!"

"They must have come here on purpose to cause trouble because they saw that other businesses were doing well!"

When the man realized his lie had been exposed on the spot, and that the crowd not only didn't believe him but also berated him even more fiercely, he became so anxious that he was sweating profusely and his face turned red.

His eyes were bloodshot as he tried to force his way through the crowd to grab Su Xiaonuan, cursing, "You bitch! You dare to deny it! I'll beat you to death!"

However, the few young men who stopped him were tall and strong, and they grabbed his arms, making him unable to move.

Just then, the same male voice came through Su Xiaonuan's phone, his tone decisive: "Location received, I'll be there right away." The call was then disconnected.

Su Xiaonuan wasn't sure who it was, but the voice sounded like Lu Zheng. But whoever it was, it was someone she knew.

She herself wasn't afraid. With the system's support and her maxed-out "Mastery of All Martial Arts" skill, this kind of thing couldn't get close to her at all.

By calling the police, she had completed half of her mission.

Next, it's time for him to confess his crimes.

Su Xiaonuan's face, which had been expressionless, now wore a very faint, somewhat mocking sneer.

She focused her attention on the system interface and quickly opened the [Special Item Shop].

My gaze swept over the dazzling array of props, but finally settled on that familiar [psychological suggestion aromatherapy].

The effect is direct, and the method is covert.

She spent 80 merit points to purchase and use it without changing her expression.

Current merit points: 5740.

A small, unassuming brown glass bottle appeared out of nowhere in a hidden storage compartment under her stall.

Taking advantage of bending down to tidy up, Su Xiaonuan quickly took out the small bottle, uncorked it, and placed it on the edge of the stove near her.
