Shi Jinghong put his hands behind his back, looked at the chaos in front of him with smugness, took out a lighter, lit a cigarette, and began to puff smoke leisurely.
Someone whispered, "Director, should we stop them? It would be bad if someone died, right?"
"What's wrong with that? The people are angry. We serve the people, so we must put the people first and let them calm down first!"
Shi Jinghong exhaled a puff of smoke ring. He was not afraid of causing death at all. It would be better if someone was beaten to death. Anyway, it was the masses who beat him to death and it had nothing to do with him.
The lighter used by Shi Jinghong was the most advanced at that time.
The shell lighter used by Lu Ye, a trophy
Ordinary lighters at that time
When Ruan Qiqi and Lu Ye rushed over, the scene was already in chaos. More and more people joined the fight, and it was probably difficult for Liu Jiaxing to walk out of the winery alive.
Lu Chuncao was so anxious that her eyes turned red. She just hoped that Lu Desheng would come quickly.
Just now she saw the factory director running away. He must have gone to call her father. Lu Chuncao secretly prayed that Liu Jiaxing could hold on a little longer until her father came.
"Ouch, stop hitting me, I'm going to kill someone... oh..."
Liu Jiaxing's screams continued, becoming weaker and weaker until they were almost inaudible.
He was covered in blood and lying motionless on the ground. He was beaten so hard that he let out a faint whimper.
"I'll beat you to death, you old beast, and give me back my Hong Hong!"
The one who beat the most fiercely was Honghong's mother. Although she was old and weak, it did not affect her revenge for her daughter at all. When she ran out of strength, she bit Liu Jiaxing's face with her teeth and bit off a piece of flesh.
"Bah...I'll bite you to death!"
Honghong's mother spat out the blood and flesh and laughed happily. Her tears mixed with blood stained her clothes.
No one stopped her. Everyone knew how miserable Honghong's mother's life had been over the past three years. It was just a small loss, which was nothing compared to the pain of losing her daughter.
"Ouch, stop biting me, it hurts so much..."
Liu Jiaxing's body was twitching in pain, and there were several holes on his face, all caused by Honghong's mother's bites.
Ruan Qiqi and Lu Ye did not come to join in the fun, they were waiting for Lu Desheng.
Sure enough, Lu Desheng rushed over with a dark face. The factory director was unclear on the phone, only saying that Shi Jinghong came to arrest Lu Chuncao and his wife. He thought Shi Jinghong was taking revenge, so he came over angrily to support his daughter and son-in-law.
But as soon as he arrived at the winery gate, he was stopped by someone.
Lu Ye pulled his collar and easily stopped him.
"Let go, I'm going to save your elder sister!"
Lu Desheng struggled a few times but failed to break free, and he was so angry that he cursed.
"Shi Jinghong is doing her job impartially, why are you making trouble? Are you trying to shield a criminal?" Lu Ye sneered coldly without loosening his hand.
"What public duty do you have? Shi Jinghong is just seeking revenge. What did your elder sister and brother-in-law do wrong?"
Lu Desheng was extremely angry. He had always felt that Lu Chuncao and his wife were honest and simple people. It was just that Lu Chuncao had become a little arrogant in recent years, but he was still a good person by nature and it was impossible for him to do anything criminal.
"I didn't rape my brother-in-law, nor did I steal my sister's public property. Don't look at me with such a stupid look. This was reported by your precious grandson Liu Hongbo himself. Liu Jiaxing raped a female worker in the factory three years ago, causing an innocent female comrade to commit suicide. He was also a peeping Tom in the female restroom in the factory, causing great psychological trauma to all the female comrades in the factory. The impact is extremely bad!"
Lu Ye spoke word by word, and seeing Lu Desheng's face becoming more and more ugly, he laughed sarcastically, feeling particularly happy.
"Dad, Lu Chuncao used your name to get people to pay her to do things. She said that as long as the money was in place, there was nothing she couldn't do in Tanzhou City. Some people did things for your sake. Lu Chuncao became more and more daring.
She accepted bribes of up to 10,000 yuan, and as a warehouse keeper, she stole public grain and sold it, causing huge losses. This was also reported by Liu Hongbo, and the evidence is irrefutable. Are you sure you want to continue to protect her?"
Ruan Qiqi asked one question after another. If this foolish old man continued to cover up for her, she would make Lu Ye break off the relationship with this old man.
Lu Desheng's mind was in a mess now. He heard everything Lu Ye and Ruan Qiqi said. The Lu Chuncao and Liu Jiaxing in their mouths became very unfamiliar. They were not the daughter and son-in-law he knew at all.
Liu Jiaxing, the honest and dull man who didn't even dare to speak loudly, was actually a rapist?
How dare his simple daughter accept a bribe of 10,000 yuan and steal public food?
How dare they?
"It's all because of your influence. Liu Hongling relied on your influence to steal other people's credit, Lu Chuncao relied on your influence to steal, rob and accept bribes, Liu Jiaxing dared to rape and rob, and Liu Hongbo dared to abuse women. They all relied on your influence to act lawless, tyrannical and bully the villagers!"
Lu Ye seemed to be able to see through his thoughts and completely tore through Lu Desheng's self-deceiving fig leaf, forcing him to face the cruel truth.
Lu Desheng's back suddenly hunched and his face turned pale.
Angry curses from the crowd and Liu Jiaxing's wails were heard from the factory. Lu Desheng gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, and strode in.
Even if he was wrong, he had to end this mistake himself!
"Your old man doesn't want to save people anymore, does he?"
Ruan Qiqi frowned, very dissatisfied with Lu Desheng.
"No, he's going to kill someone!"
Lu Ye knew his father very well. Lu Desheng always valued his reputation. He used to pretend to be deaf and dumb to deceive himself and others, but now that the fig leaf has been torn off, he can no longer pretend and must get rid of this source of trouble for the family with his own hands.
Ruan Qiqi understood.
After all, Lu Desheng actually loves himself the most.
Be it Lin Manyun or Lu Chuncao, he can pamper them as long as it does not affect his interests, but once it affects his vital interests, he will definitely not show mercy.
When Lu Chuncao saw Lu Desheng striding towards her, she started to whine excitedly. She knew that her father would not ignore her.
Shi Jinghong also saw it and smiled cunningly, hoping that Lu Desheng would come out to save them, so that he could report it to his superiors with a clear conscience.
The crowd also stopped, feeling a little regretful. They had been too impulsive and forgot that Lu Chuncao had a father who was a high-ranking official. If Lu Desheng pursued the matter, they would be in trouble.
Lu Desheng walked up to Lu Chuncao and looked at her with complicated eyes.
“Wuwuwu…”
Lu Chuncao screamed excitedly, why is her father still standing there, quickly take the rag out of her mouth and go save her man!
"Commander Lu, I'm sorry. I received a report from your grandson Liu Hongbo. Your daughter Lu Chuncao stole public property and accepted bribes, and your son-in-law Liu Jiaxing raped a female comrade. Both husband and wife committed heinous crimes. I have to deal with them impartially. Please forgive me, Commander Lu!"
Shi Jinghong walked over and spoke politely, but his eyes were full of provocation. He really wanted Lu Desheng to make a scene.
“Bang!”
A loud slap shocked everyone.
Lu Chuncao looked at her father in disbelief. The burning pain on her face reminded her that the slap just now was not a dream. Her father really slapped her.
Lu Desheng gritted his teeth and slapped her a few more times, each slap harder than the last. Lu Chuncao's face instantly swelled up like a pig's head.
