Chapter 241 Coming out of the building

White Pearl was captured by Red Armband, and before leaving, Red Armband unexpectedly dropped a bombshell on the neighbors in the courtyard.

This was truly a bombshell, the kind that leaves you reeling.

"What the heck?!"

"White Pearl actually came from the old brothel?!"

Several gossipy middle-aged women stared at each other in disbelief.

I could hardly believe what I was hearing; it was even more shocking than hearing that Bai Zhenzhu was seducing multiple men.

As we all know, most people have a prejudice against the "flower sisters" in the building. I won't go into the various swear words they use, but they also have a disease that makes people spit on them when they pass by.

Who would have thought that there was one lurking right next to you?

While everyone was shocked, they were also a little scared and subconsciously moved away from the Bai family, afraid of being contaminated by something unclean.

Cheng Jiajia and Yu Junsheng were so shocked that their jaws dropped open.

Holy shit! Holy shit!

Sure enough, they were just too naive!

Given Bai Zhenzhu's flirtatious and manipulative tactics, Cheng Jiajia could only guess that she was a concubine of a wealthy family, since concubines would compete for favor and were better at manipulating men.

Who knew, who knew they were professionals at all!

No wonder Bai Zhenzhu's demeanor always gave them an indescribable feeling; if she were a professional in this field, then it would make sense.

Goodness, this guy has received professional training since childhood, so he can't compare to the amateurs outside. No wonder he can raise so many fish in his pond.

It's just that Cheng Jiajia never came into contact with this kind of staff in her previous life, so she never even thought about it in that direction.

However, judging from what the red-armbanded people just said, someone must have reported Bai Zhenzhu.

Over the years, no one has noticed anything amiss, which shows how well this person has kept things hidden.

Who is this person? They're so good at digging; they can even bring up things from decades ago.

Cheng Jiajia whispered to Yu Junsheng, "I wonder which righteous person reported it."

Yu Junsheng didn't take it seriously, "She's just one of those women in the courtyard who's seduced by those 'white pearls' (a derogatory term for women)."

Given Bai Zhenzhu's behavior, it was only a matter of time before she was reported. It's just that there wasn't a culture of reporting people in their courtyard before. This is because if you report someone and get caught, you might be isolated and shunned by your neighbors, making it impossible to live in the courtyard. After all, nobody wants to live with someone who might stab them in the back.

But after the series of reports against Zheng Haiyang and his group, things could change.

Taking advantage of this trend, it won't be conspicuous to do some minor tricks, right?

"Oh, that's true."

Cheng Jiajia's eyes darted around. She actually had a suspect in mind, but she lacked evidence and couldn't reveal it. More importantly, wouldn't it be incredibly embarrassing if she guessed wrong?

Ugh, I feel so uncomfortable, like I'm suffocating!

Not to mention Cheng Jiajia's inner turmoil and lack of gossip, the other neighbors, like her, also had a sense of "I knew it" after their initial shock.

An older woman immediately slapped her thigh and said:

"Wow! No wonder she's so good at seducing men! Turns out she's really trained!"

"Wow, this is their old profession!"

"No wonder, no wonder she managed to coax Old Qin into abandoning his wife and children to be with her and spend money on her. Turns out she has a lot of tricks up her sleeve." Someone who couldn't stand Bai Zhenzhu said sourly.

The girls in those brothels before liberation were trained from a young age to use these seduction techniques. It was their livelihood, so naturally they were adept at using them.

They are naturally incomparable to these good women.

It's just that those scoundrels fall for this.

The old woman gritted her teeth inwardly. Her husband often said at home that he was inferior to Bai Zhenzhu in every way, and she had long hated this old woman to the core.

That's it! That bitch has been arrested!

Let's see where her man will go to fawn over her now!

"Speaking of which, where is Aunt Yan? She must have finally gotten some relief after Bai Zhenzhu was taken away, right?"

"The woman who stole her own man has finally been arrested. Why doesn't she come out and laugh a little?"

"That's right, where's Aunt Yan?"

Logically speaking, it was impossible for Aunt Yan not to come out and watch the excitement after her number one enemy, Bai Zhenzhu, was arrested. Everyone looked around the courtyard strangely but couldn't find Aunt Yan, which made them feel uneasy.

"Hey, where's Aunt Yan?"

...

Where is Aunt Yan? Aunt Yan is at home, feeling quite pleased with herself.

That's right, it was she who reported this incident today!

It was the discussion that everyone had in the courtyard that reminded Aunt Yan that she felt there was something wrong with the background of this old woman, Bai Zhenzhu.

Qin Weimin often praised Bai Zhenzhu in front of her and belittled his own fortune. Yan Xiaocui knew that this woman was different from ordinary women. She had read some books and was somewhat cultured.

In those days, what kind of woman could be both well-educated and adept at seducing men?

The landlord's daughter?

Bah, she doesn't deserve it!

That lowlife, who knows which building he came from, to come here and ruin the good men in their compound.

Aunt Yan hardened her heart and made Qin Ziwen write a letter of complaint, reporting her to the authorities.

She hadn't reported him before because she was afraid that Bai Zhenzhu would implicate Old Qin. *Ahem*... Although Qin Weimin had abused Aunt Yan countless times, she still treated him like her first love. If Bai Zhenzhu got into trouble, it would inevitably drag Qin Weimin into it. After all, he was her man, and Aunt Yan didn't want him to end up in jail.

Another point is that, after all, he is the children's biological father, and Qin Weimin's background cannot be questioned, otherwise the future of the children will be affected. Aunt Yan cannot risk her own life just to get revenge on Bai Zhenzhu, so she has been enduring it.

But things are different now.

Anyway, Lao Qin is already in jail, and the children have severed ties with him, so no matter what Bai Zhenzhu does, it won't affect her children.

But Yan Xiaocui wasn't sure if Bai Zhenzhu was actually a prostitute. Her main business was to take advantage of any opportunity, and it would be best if she could get Bai Zhenzhu into the brothel.

But to everyone's surprise, when the corrupt officials investigated, it turned out to be true!

Watching helplessly as Bai Zhenzhu was taken away by several women with red armbands, Yan Xiaocui almost couldn't suppress the upturned corners of her mouth; she was ecstatic.

This feeling is like drinking an ice-cold soda on a hot summer day—so refreshing!

Only when she was really afraid of being discovered that something was wrong did she quietly return home and secretly enjoy her happiness.

Hehe~

...

After searching for a while without finding Aunt Yan in the courtyard, everyone stopped looking and the topic returned to Bai Zhenzhu.

This is so amazing, it's sure to keep everyone talking about it for days.

Some people are curious about how she managed to hide in their yard for so many years without being discovered.

Suddenly, an older woman exclaimed, "Oh no! Everyone be careful! I heard that many people in there have venereal diseases. Who knows if those scoundrels she's having affairs with have been infected? You all better keep a close eye on your husbands when you get back!"

A moment of silence fell over the room; no one spoke.

At this point, no one could admit that their man had a relationship with Bai Zhenzhu. After all, everyone now knew where Bai Zhenzhu came from, and everyone was trying to distance themselves from her, so how could they possibly drag her into this mess and cause trouble?

However, the wives who knew in their hearts that their husbands had a slightly closer relationship with Bai Zhenzhu all looked very unhappy.

He thought to himself that he had to go back and thoroughly investigate whether that bastard at home had ever had an intimate relationship with Bai Zhenzhu.

It's best if there isn't any; if there is, well, this filthy thing can't be kept either!

Those men who actually had something going on with Bai Zhenzhu all had faces as dark as water.

He didn't show it on his face, but he was actually terrified that he had really been infected with some kind of dirty disease.

Damn it! Bai Zhenzhu, that woman, actually came from a brothel!

I should never have contacted her!

...

Those present either looked down on her, were terrified, or had a spectator's mentality, thinking it was good that Bai Zhenzhu was caught, so she would no longer be able to seduce the men in the courtyard.

But no one was as desperate as Brother Dong.

The news that "Bai Zhenzhu has been arrested" and "Bai Zhenzhu came from the brothel" was like a bolt from the blue for Dong Xiaodi.

He was completely dazed, staring blankly ahead, muttering, "How is this possible?!"

"How is this possible?!"

How long have he been married to Bai Xiaohui? Just now, he was trying to get money from his older sister, dreaming of getting a permanent job so that he could have a few children with Bai Xiaohui and his mother-in-law could help take care of them. Life could be as wonderful as it gets.

How did my mother-in-law get arrested in the blink of an eye?

The crime of having illicit sexual relations.

Furthermore, the revelation that Bai Zhenzhu used to work in a brothel means that—regardless of whether he and Bai Xiaohui will be implicated, Bai Xiaohui's reputation will be like that of a rat in a stinking ditch, hated by everyone.

Wherever she goes, people point and whisper about her, casting disdainful glances at her.

When people mention her, they say things like, "That's the daughter of Sister Hua, Bai Zhenzhu," or "I wonder if she's in the same business as Bai Zhenzhu."

With a grandmother and a mother like that, it's easy to imagine what kind of situation their children will face in the future.

The joy of being newly married and the secret delight of scheming to get her older sister's money vanished completely.

Dong Xiaodi suddenly felt a little unsure whether his decision to marry Bai Xiaohui was the right one.

Poor Bai Xiaohui was still out playing with her friends, completely unaware that her home was about to be destroyed.

...

When Guan Ailian and Ren Wenhua returned and heard about this, Guan Ailian immediately spat out a curse, "Pah! This kind of scourge should be taken away as soon as possible. In my opinion, it is this woman who has corrupted the atmosphere in our courtyard, causing one after another to have affairs, and even my Yongsheng has been implicated!"

Not only did it implicate her son, but there was something even more important that Guan Ailian kept to herself.

Don't think she doesn't know that Bai Zhenzhu once seduced her husband, Ren. If it weren't for her good looks when she was young and her ability to manipulate men, that bastard would have been seduce!

Guan Ailian had always harbored resentment towards Bai Zhenzhu, and now that she saw her being arrested, she felt incredibly happy!

Ren Wenhua was very impatient. "Alright, alright, what does she have to do with our family? She keeps nagging on and on, isn't she annoying?"

After running around all day with no results, his old friends started to dodge the question as soon as they heard about Yongsheng's situation, clearly unwilling to help. Ren Wenhua was already annoyed, and hearing his wife's grumbling only made him more frustrated. He couldn't help but interrupt.

Guan Ailian misunderstood, thinking he didn't want to hear her scold Bai Zhenzhu, that vixen, and she was even more furious.

I just hope that the Red Armband can send this bastard to the most difficult Northwest to plant trees, and never let him out for the rest of his life!

Just when everyone was deeply disgusted with Bai Zhenzhu, someone Yu Junsheng never expected—Ren Xiaosheng—returned.

And he didn't come back alone.

This caused another commotion in the courtyard.
