Chapter 76 A Big Encounter

Although Zheng Haiyang had already explained things in the hospital after being discharged and had prepared himself mentally, the meaningful looks he received from everyone still made him feel very embarrassed.

He was furious and went up to explain, but the person seemed agreeable on the surface, yet they kept saying the same things behind his back. This made Zheng Haiyang very frustrated, but there was nothing he could do. He couldn't very well go up and fight with them, could he? There were so many people gossiping in the yard, could he possibly fight them all?

Therefore, Zheng Haiyang has been in a very gloomy mood lately.

In addition, Jiang Qiubai has been acting strangely these past two days, refusing to let him touch her at night, which has made Zheng Haiyang very angry.

This morning, on his way to work, Zheng Haiyang was suddenly bumped into by someone, and he almost started cursing.

But the girl was pressed tightly against him, and the soft touch made him swallow back the curse that was on the tip of his tongue.

Especially since the girl seemed a little uncomfortable, and even squirmed a few times in his arms.

Instantly, all the blood in Zheng Haiyang's body rushed to one place.

Zheng Haiyang was burning with another kind of fire.

The girl lowered her head, revealing only a glimpse of her fair neck.

He stared at that fair skin, feeling a bit thirsty.

Feeling the softness in his arms, Zheng Haiyang shifted his legs uncomfortably, trying to keep his voice gentle so as not to frighten the delicate woman in his arms, and asked softly, "Comrade, are you alright?"

The girl seemed to be in pain from the impact, letting out two soft groans, which made her appear even more delicate.

Zheng Haiyang felt another surge of excitement, and his lower abdomen felt tingly and numb.

He tried to control himself and asked in a gentle voice, "Comrade, where do you feel unwell? Do you need me to take you to the hospital?"

Perhaps it was his gentle tone that made her feel so warm and friendly, but the girl in his arms, who had been looking down, finally raised her head.

But it was a face he knew all too well.

The owner of that face even gave him a shy smile.

"Ocean, you've hurt me."

"Ahhh!"

"Damn it! Bao Dayan, it's you?!"

Zheng Haiyang looked as if he had seen a ghost, and was terrified. He pushed the person in his arms away and took two steps back, wishing he could be eight feet away from her.

Where is the sticky feeling of money anymore?

The moment Zheng Haiyang saw Bao Dayan's face, his anger was instantly extinguished with a "pfft".

The place that was once full of fighting spirit quickly became listless.

Zheng Haiyang was furious. He glared at Bao Dayan and asked rudely, "Bao Dayan, what are you trying to do now?!"

Instead of her usual confrontational attitude, Bao Dayan smiled gently at him and said, "It's alright, Haiyang, you didn't mean to hurt me. I don't blame you."

She had observed that Aunt Bai always laughed and spoke in the same tone. Usually, when she laughed like that and spoke in a roundabout way, the old men and women in the courtyard would help her with the chores despite their own family objections.

Having practiced at home for a long time, Bao Dayan believed she had mastered the essence of the technique and was confident she could use it to win over Zheng Haiyang.

Zheng Haiyang: "!!!"

Zheng Haiyang suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in his stomach.

Has this woman forgotten what her relationship with him is?

Why smile at yourself in such an affected way?

Zheng Haiyang felt that he and Bao Dayan had a deep-seated grudge.

He hadn't forgotten how Bao Dayan had taken advantage of him before, only to be extorted by his mother in return, and how she had insulted him so much just a couple of days ago.

Who knows what scheme they've plotted to pull this stunt today?

He frowned in disgust. "Spit it out! What are you babbling about?!"

Thinking about how he had just reacted to her, Zheng Haiyang felt like slapping himself a few times.

Ugh! How could I react to such filth!

Ptooey!

Bao Dayan: "..."

She cursed him inwardly for being such a clueless bastard.

Her expression remained gentle. "Haiyang, I suddenly realized I was terribly wrong before, and I wanted to sincerely apologize to you, but I didn't expect to be not paying attention to where I was going and bump into you. Are you alright?"

"Before you can forgive me"

Zheng Haiyang: "!!!"

He stared at Bao Dayan from head to toe for a long while, as if he had seen a ghost.

Just as Bao Dayan was about to lose her gentle smile, Zheng Haiyang softly uttered three words.

Are you crazy?!

"If you're sick, go to the hospital right away, don't come out here acting crazy!"

Bao Dayan “…”

The smile on her face froze for a moment. You bastard!

Zheng Haiyang ignored her and cursed her as bad luck before quickly slipping away.

Damn it, has this woman really gone mad?!

That's fucking terrifying!

...

Bao Dayan stared at Zheng Haiyang's retreating figure, gritted her teeth, cursed a few times, stomped her foot, and left.

Although Bao Dayan was a little unhappy about being humiliated like that, she wasn't actually that angry.

After all, she knew what her relationship with Zheng Haiyang was like before, so it's understandable that people couldn't accept her sudden change of attitude.

Bao Dayan didn't seem to care much.

She didn't like Zheng Haiyang, and she only hooked up with him for that reason.

It's just that her deadbeat husband has been dead for too long, and she hasn't done "that" in far too long.

Moreover, that deadbeat man's place can't compare to Zheng Haiyang's.

Bao Dayan didn't know before, but after reading Zheng Haiyang's story, she realized that not all men are that small.

She's been a married woman for so long and still doesn't know what it's like to be with an older man; it's such a waste.

That's why they set their sights on Zheng Haiyang.

Bao Dayan never doubted that she would fail; she simply didn't believe Zheng Haiyang was an honest man.

However, we'll have to try a different approach next time!

...

After the two left, two heads immediately popped up from around the corner.

Cheng Jiajia stared at the two figures that had just disappeared, her eyes filled with shock.

Its mouth is so wide open it could fit an egg.

It took a long while for my sluggish brain to start working again.

She nudged Yu Junsheng's arm. "My God, is Bao Dayan after Zheng Haiyang and trying to seduce him?"

Yu Junsheng was also shocked, "Bao Dayan actually took a fancy to Zheng Haiyang?"

This is truly unexpected. They set off early to follow Zheng Haiyang to work, only to witness such a spectacle.

Cheng Jiajia suddenly remembered Bao Dayan's unusual behavior on the day Zheng Haiyang was discharged from the hospital.

The woman regretted her words to Zheng Haiyang immediately afterward, and even gave him a very feminine smile.

She immediately sensed something was wrong.

Sure enough, just as I expected!

Bao Dayan had indeed taken a liking to Zheng Haiyang.

I just don't know what this person's thought process was like.

Before, weren't they at loggerheads, with Zheng Haiyang looking down on him?

Although Bao Dayan ended up having an ambiguous relationship with the male protagonist in the book, Zheng Haiyang had already made his fortune by then.

Young, handsome, and rich, it's normal for girls to be interested in him.

At that time, Zheng Haiyang was just an ordinary worker supporting his family on his own salary. What did Bao Dayan see in him?

Cheng Jiajia expressed her complete incomprehension.

Suddenly remembering something, Cheng Jiajia's eyes lit up. Could it be that she had seen Zheng Haiyang's... you know?

The more she thought about it, the more likely it seemed. Yu Junsheng had already told her that Bao Dayan had pulled down Zheng Haiyang's pants, and that was when Bao Dayan changed her attitude towards Zheng Haiyang!

Cheng Jiajia felt she had figured out the truth.

He immediately shared this conjecture with Yu Junsheng.

Yu Junsheng: "..."

Yu Junsheng had a lot to say but couldn't explain it in a few words.

But believe it or not, it's actually quite possible.

After all, Bao Dayan actually took action that time; a simple retaliation wouldn't involve taking action. It was clear that she had something in mind.

Cheng Jiajia winked and asked, "Do you think Zheng Haiyang might give in to Bao Dayan?"

She gestured with her two thumbs, making her meaning quite clear.

Yu Junsheng replied in a cryptic tone, "Who knows?"

Right now, it seems like Bao Dayan took the initiative and Zheng Haiyang refused, but who knows what will happen in the long run?

Didn't Zheng Haiyang hug Bao Dayan for quite a while before he realized it was her?

Only he knows what he was thinking during that time.

Yu Junsheng quickly smiled meaningfully, "This is going to be quite a show!"

Cheng Jiajia's eyes darted around, "I wonder how Jiang Qiubai will react when he finds out about this?"

She stood tall and spoke with righteous indignation, "No, someone is trying to break up her family. How can we, as good neighbors, just stand by and watch her be kept in the dark? We have to tell her!"

Yu Junsheng quickly added righteously, "That's right. As young people of the new era, we cannot let innocent female comrades be deceived, nor can we stand idly by and watch someone destroy her family!"

Cheng Jiajia gave him an approving look. Kid, you're pretty smart!

This matter should indeed be told to Jiang Qiubai, but how and when to tell him requires careful consideration.

Having lived together for so long, Cheng Jiajia's eyes would dart around, and Yu Junsheng would know exactly what she was up to, so they cooperated perfectly.

The two exchanged a glance and then burst into mischievous laughter.

"Caw caw caw!"

...

After agreeing on what they were going to do next, the two parted ways at the intersection and went to work.

Cheng Jiajia arrived relatively early today. As usual, she went to the yard to boil a kettle of water on the stove before Grandpa Wang slowly came over with his hands behind his back.

As soon as Old Wang entered the room and saw Cheng Jiajia, his eyes lit up, and he quickly walked a few steps to get closer to her.

Cheng Jiajia: "..."

They're here! They're here!

That familiar feeling!

Sure enough, Old Wang's eyes lit up, and he asked slyly, "Little Cheng, I heard that two men in your neighborhood were raped outside and then their pants were pulled down and they were left on the street?"

"They were really... you know... and their pants were pulled down?"

"Wouldn't that mean everyone would see everything? How embarrassing!"

Cheng Jiajia: "..."

I didn't realize this old man was so gossipy.

But there's no point in hiding it. So many people were watching the spectacle. Even if she didn't say anything, others would spread the word everywhere. One more person wouldn't make a difference.

So Cheng Jiajia told Grandpa Wang about what happened at the scene.

When asked about Zheng Haiyang being sexually assaulted by a man, Cheng Jiajia simply said she didn't know.

Although she really hoped Zheng Haiyang's reputation would be even worse, such a reputation would implicate all the men in the compound and have a bad influence, so she didn't embellish it and just described what she had seen.

"Ah, I see!"

Old Wang said with a regretful look, "It's a pity I was visiting relatives at the time and wasn't home, otherwise I would have definitely come over to take a look!"

"Oh my goodness, how strange! I've lived for decades and never seen anything like this!"

Then he said enviously, "It has to be your courtyard; you can't find such liveliness anywhere else!"

Cheng Jiajia's lips twitched. "Uncle Wang, if you're so envious, why don't you move to our yard? Then you'll be able to see even more excitement."

Upon hearing this, Old Wang quickly waved his hand, "No, no! I'm too old to take any more trouble."

Cheng Jiajia: "..."

Why do you say their courtyard is like a den of dragons and tigers?

But when she thought about her neighbors who were always jumping around in the yard, well, it didn't seem that different!

...

Not only did Old Man Wang find it strange, but even the burly men who knocked out the Zheng brothers found it strange.

They had heard that two brothers in the north of the city had been raped, their pants pulled down and they were thrown into the street, and the perpetrators were cursed.

"Bah! You heartless beast! How could you do such a despicable thing to a human being!"

"You inhuman bastard! You did such a beastly thing, and then you had to pull down someone's pants and throw them in the street. How cruel is that!"

Just thinking about it sends chills down my spine.

Several burly men deeply hated the murderer and cursed him fiercely.

These people had no idea that the two brothers were the same two they had beaten up; they were all just watching the drama unfold with righteous indignation.

Until their eldest brother praised them with a look that was seven parts admiration and three parts complicated, giving them a good scolding and a chance to vent their anger for their nephew.

Scarface and his men were a little confused by his look, but since their leader said they did a good job, there was no major problem.

Then the eldest brother hesitated, then stammered, "Right, Scarface, you guys should be gentler next time. There's no need to use such methods. If people find out we like to pull down men's pants, it will damage the reputation of our Green Dragon Gang. Don't you agree?"

Scarface: "..."

Scarface's dark face turned bright red.

That's bullshit!

Damn it, when did he pull down those two guys' pants?!

Not only Scarface, but everyone present at the time was completely dumbfounded.

What the heck?!

The person they just called worse than an animal was themselves?!

No, they didn't pull down those two boys' pants!

Who would do something so disgusting?

They're not sick!

Scarface wasn't willing to carry such a disgusting reputation, so he pulled his boss aside to explain, "Boss, I didn't pull down that kid's pants, I just led the brothers to beat them up..."

"What are you doing?!"

The older brother was startled and quickly shook off his hand as if getting rid of something dirty, saying in a flustered manner, "Okay, okay, I'm not blaming you. Just be more careful next time. Um, I have something to do, let's talk again next time!"

After leaving behind a single sentence, the older brother quickly disappeared.

The fear of the scar was very obvious.

Damn, I never would have guessed, this kid likes men!

I'd better be careful in the future so he doesn't take advantage of me!

Scarface: "!!!"

Having lived for over thirty years, this was the first time a man had ever treated him like a wolf!

Scarface's face was a jumble of blue and purple, a truly fascinating sight.

After a long pause, he roared:

"Ahhh!"

"Fuck your mother! Those two bastards ruined my life!"

The others shrank back, not daring to utter a sound.

...

Old Wang was probably so happy eating melons in the morning that he let Cheng Jiajia go home early at lunchtime.

Seeing that it was still early, Cheng Jiajia decided to go to the supply and marketing cooperative.

She was running out of salt and soy sauce at home, so she decided to buy some to take home.

There's a supply and marketing cooperative not far from the scrap yard, so there's no need to go all the way to the one in the residential area.

Just as she turned a corner, Cheng Jiajia saw a familiar figure flash by.

Cheng Jiajia has good eyesight and recognized Qin Weimin from their compound at a glance.

Why is he sneaking around like this instead of going to work?

This person kept looking left and right as he walked, as if afraid of being discovered; he looked suspicious.

Cheng Jiajia's eyes flickered, and she followed without hesitation.

Qin Weimin was very alert, so she didn't dare to follow too closely, but just trailed far behind.

Cheng Jiajia followed him through one alley after another, occasionally hiding behind a wall, until they finally arrived at a familiar place.

I came here late at night last time with Yu Junsheng; it's Deng Guangming's house!
