Chapter 612 Come on, everyone
Hu Xiner chuckled. Since she had successfully gotten Li Ju to talk, she already had the bargaining chip to defeat this "witness".
She looked directly into Zhou Chenghe's sinister eyes and said slowly, "Mr. Zhou, Li Ju has been serving my mother for many years. I know her well. She is tongue-tied, honest and dutiful, and doesn't like to express herself. Sometimes she can't even speak clearly to defend herself, let alone frame others—"
Zhou Chenghe had a bad feeling. He never expected that his carefully designed plan would be easily discovered by the pregnant woman in just a few words.
He argued, "Mrs. Lu is truly worthy of being her master. As soon as she came over, Li Ju didn't dare to move. Isn't it up to you to decide whether it's black or white?"
"She probably didn't dare move because she was threatened by you." Hu Xin'er smiled, but her eyes were cold. "You didn't take her in last night to save her. You wanted her to give false testimony for you so that you could pin all the blame on Zhao Si!"
Zhou Chenghe crossed his arms and said, "Mrs. Lu, you're such a clever liar who can twist right into wrong. Do you always speak without looking at the evidence?"
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that, despite the intimidation brought by his size and the ruthlessness on his face, he was ten times more terrifying than Hu Xin'er.
However, when it comes to reasoning, Hu Xiner is far better than him.
He just kept saying that Hu Xin'er was confusing right and wrong, and he didn't speak as confidently and logically as Hu Xin'er, but instead seemed very short of breath.
Hu Xin'er shook her head, feeling it was quite boring to face such an opponent. "You colluded with Li Ju and told her everything in advance, but you didn't expect that the questions I asked were beyond your plan. The look in Li Ju's eyes gave you away!"
It was winter, but Li Ju was already sweating profusely. When she looked at Hu Xiner, her eyes were filled with admiration and horror.
Oh my goodness, why didn’t I realize when I was in the mansion before that the young lady was so good at fortune-telling?
Zhou Chenghe kicked the useless Li Ju next to him and said stubbornly, "Anyway, she's been scared by you now. She'll just do whatever you say. What's the point of arguing now?"
His eyes glared fiercely, "Come here, tie up Zhao Si and take him to the mansion."
He actually wanted to take action directly.
After hearing the order, those burly men prepared to capture Zhao Si, but Zhao Si was no pushover.
He pretended to rush into the crowd, then quickly ran behind Mu Qing, wanting to grab Mu Qing's clothes, but he didn't dare. He could only shout at the top of his voice: "Brother-in-law, brother-in-law! Help!"
Zhou Chenghe said with a gloomy face: "The truth of the matter can be known by Zhao Si simply visiting my house. If Madam Lu insists on stopping you, don't blame me for being rude."
Hu Xin'er asked cautiously, "Li Ju just made it clear that she only stopped when she saw Zhao Si. But if Zhao Si was celebrating something so secretive, he would definitely close the shop. How could she have seen it?"
No matter from which perspective, the Zhou family is absolutely wrong!
Seeing that the matter had been completely exposed, Zhou Chenghe, having experienced the power of her tongue, no longer wanted to argue with her. He just raised his hand and said: "This concerns the reputation of the two young ladies. I am sorry!"
Then, the Zhou family members nearby gathered around.
Seeing that a fight was about to begin, the common people were so frightened that they scattered in all directions: "Oh no, oh no, the Zhou family is going to bully us again!"
The young wife carrying the basket asked hesitantly, "Should we go to the Du Mansion to report the news?"
Someone nearby pulled her and she ran: "What if the Zhou family comes to investigate you? Are you trying to save your life?"
The young wife agreed. Although she had accepted money from the Lu family to spread rumors before, and was also indebted to the Lu family, after all, the money and goods had been paid, and when disaster struck, it was better to take care of herself first.
Most people's mentality was similar to hers. The only thing they could be sure of was that Hu Xin'er and others, who were weak and outnumbered, could never defeat the Zhou family!
But among the scattered crowd, more than a dozen young men appeared. They were dressed in uniform black shirts. They quickly appeared and surrounded Hu Xiner and others, as if they were protecting them.
It turned out that Hu Xiner had long known that the people of the Zhou family were not good people, so when Miss Du informed her, she asked Miss Du to pass on a message and call on the children of the Du family to help.
At this moment, the Du family disciples and the Zhou family disciples were clearly divided. Hu Lao San took the lead and shouted sternly, "Zhou Chenghe, what are you doing here?"
Zhou Chenghe's eyes flashed with murderous intent: "Young Miss Du has committed suicide by hitting her head against the wall, and you still have the time to shield the culprit?"
He wanted to take the initiative and throw the dirty water on Zhao Si's head without thinking twice.
But Hu Lao San threw his head back and laughed, then scolded: "How dare you uphold justice here? It's your despicable Zhou family that has been slandering our young lady and forcing her to death. Aren't they?!"
Without waiting for Zhou Chenghe's response, he shouted, "Don't argue with these lunatics! Du family disciples, come on! Avenge our eldest sister!"
"Revenge for Senior Sister!"
…
In order to keep it secret, Miss Du did not reveal her fake death to any of the Du family disciples. They were all chivalrous men who grew up with Miss Du and practiced martial arts together.
Although they could only be Miss Du's younger brother, they were happy to do so because Miss Du's martial arts skills were indeed superior to theirs.
However, someone actually used such insidious and despicable means to make their senior sister bang her head against the wall to prove her innocence.
They had long disliked the Zhou family and wished they could beat them to death.
When the Zhou family disciples saw the fearless attitude of the Du family disciples, they did not move their hands, but their momentum weakened by three points for no reason.
They are here to bully the weak, not to be beaten!
Even though several Zhou family disciples quietly retreated, Zhou Chenghe, upon seeing this scene, did not let them go directly as usual, but was caught in a dilemma.
Because, after a rough count, he found that the number of disciples of the Du family was more than theirs.
Hu Xin'er was also startled by the enthusiasm of the Du family disciples and sent a message to Hu Lao San: "This is not good. What if the brothers of the Du family get injured in the fight?"
Hu Lao San smiled and said, "Madam Lu, don't worry. As soon as they heard that we were going to avenge our eldest sister, they all rushed over."
