Shen Yurong immediately spotted the man who was the first to start the commotion in the crowd.
He walked over, chin raised: "Hey, where did this dog come from, daring to bark in front of me?"
The man stared blankly at the person next to him.
Finally, he pointed to himself, his face full of disbelief, and said, "You're calling me a dog?"
"Otherwise what? If you give too much face, even a dog will think it's a lion. Next time you're acting like a human, please try to act more convincingly, otherwise I might easily mistake you for someone else."
During his time in Longshou Village, Shen Yurong's temper has been tempered considerably.
Despite his tall and muscular build, his fierce and swearing demeanor is quite intimidating.
But men aren't afraid of him.
Behind him are millions of people supporting him.
He did nothing wrong!
Thinking of this, the man mustered his courage and blurted out, "You're so protective of this woman, you wouldn't happen to be her new lover after that rapist was caught, would you?"
The man's words got increasingly offensive.
Enraged, Shen Yurong raised his fist to strike: "You bastard!..."
Ning Wan rushed over and stopped him, saying, "Xiao Shen, calm down, don't be impulsive."
When she stopped him, Shen Yurong became even angrier.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Ning Wan, I'm trying to help you!"
Does this woman even know what's good for her?!
Ning Wan ignored the enraged Shen Yurong.
She walked up to the man and held up her phone: "I've recorded everything you just said. I can use this recording to sue you for defamation."
Upon hearing Ning Wan's words, the man panicked immediately: "Police...police station?..."
Is the situation really that serious?
“Of course. You have to be responsible for what you say.” Ning Wan said without fear, her voice stern and firm, “Everything must be based on evidence. I would like to ask you, do you have any evidence for what you said earlier? Are there any facts to support your claims? If not, I can also apply to the court to sue you for defamation for seriously damaging my reputation.”
"Defamation? ...Defamation?..."
The man tried to explain, but Ning Wan didn't give him a chance.
She spoke in a calm and slow tone, without any haste or impatience, but her eyes were extremely sharp.
"According to Article 246 of the Criminal Law of the People's Republic of China, anyone who publicly insults another person by violence or other means, or fabricates facts to defame another person, may be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years, criminal detention, public surveillance, or deprivation of political rights if the circumstances are serious."
Men who are used to making empty boasts have never seen anything like this before.
Listening to Ning Wan speaking in a serious tone, using terms he couldn't understand at all, the man was both anxious and scared, his forehead breaking out in a cold sweat.
He turned his pleading gaze to the crowd of onlookers, but they avoided his eyes.
No one dared to step forward to help him.
The man began to regret his decision; why had he become the one to be shot first?
...
Seeing that she had intimidated him enough, Ning Wan changed her tone and said leisurely, "But if you are willing to apologize to me and deny what you said before, then I can consider whether to forgive you..."
Hearing Ning Wan say that, the man quickly lowered his head and admitted his mistake, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it was my fault!"
He clasped his hands together and pleaded repeatedly, "I was talking nonsense, I was bewitched. All that rubbish I just said was just lies, it was all false. I'm sorry, I'm so sorry. Please forgive me, please don't call the police..."
Seeing the man's nonchalant attitude, Ning Wan didn't feel happy about it.
He didn't really realize his mistake; he was just afraid of being punished and was forced to apologize.
But Ning Wan had no intention of deliberately making things difficult for him.
The intention is simply to make an example of someone, using the large number of people present, to serve as a warning to others.
Seeing that the man apologized sincerely, Ning Wan didn't hold it against him: "Words can be dangerous, and what you see with your eyes may not be the whole truth. I hope you can understand this."
Suddenly, the sound of a police siren came from afar.
The crowd spontaneously parted to make way.
The police car pulled up in front of the store. Lin Guihua and Zheng Nan arrived at the scene after receiving the report: "Who called the police just now?"
Ning Wan raised her left hand: "It's me."
The man looked at Ning Wan with horror and disbelief.
He already apologized, so why are they still calling the police to arrest him?!
Meeting the man's mournful gaze, Ning Wan explained expressionlessly, "Don't be afraid, we're not here to arrest you..."
...
After dispersing the crowd, Lin Guihua and Zheng Nan busied themselves visiting and checking the surveillance footage of several nearby shops.
The criminal target was quickly identified.
The people who threw garbage and splattered feces in front of Chaoningwan's shop were a group of idle thugs who lived nearby.
When Zheng Nan caught them red-handed, the thugs readily confessed, saying that they had been drinking too much in the middle of the night and acted impulsively because they couldn't stand Ning Wan and Shen Fu.
But Ning Wan felt that the truth was not so simple.
After the case was closed, the police left with the thugs.
Seeing Ning Wan turn around and silently wipe the paint again, Shen Yurong took a towel and stepped forward to help: "Speaking of which, I thought you were really going to swallow your anger and keep quiet."
Ning Wan disagreed, saying calmly, "There are many ways to protect yourself, but resorting to violence is the worst possible option."
"That's true." Actually, Shen Yurong quite admired her composure: "Aren't you going to call Shen Fu and tell him? You've been dragged into this innocently, haven't you?"
If it were anyone else, they would probably have been terrified and completely lost their composure.
Ning Wan paused in her wiping motion, a moment of blankness crossing her face: "My situation is already so bad, Aman's place must be in complete chaos by now..."
"Never mind," she said, trying to sound casual. "As things stand, I can handle it myself... so let's not bother him."
Shen Yurong pursed his lips and asked, "Shen Fu is in big trouble this time. What are you going to do?"
"Cold salad".
Ning Wan took out olive oil, applied it to the paint, and scrubbed it vigorously.
After finally managing to wipe away just one word, her arm was so tired she could barely lift it.
But she dared not rest.
We must clean up all these traces before Ning Yanshu comes home from school.
Shen Yurong was also tired of wiping, and threw the towel down: "I'm not wiping anymore, there's so much, how can I possibly wipe it all? Why don't we just repaint it?"
“But I have no money.” Ning Wan said bluntly, “Aman is very poor lately, you know that.”
Shen Yurong: "..."
Ning Wan frowned: "With so much paint, I don't know if we can finish wiping it off before dark."
Shen Yurong: "..."
"But if I erase one character every hour, it should be about done by 4 p.m.," Ning Wan comforted herself.
Unable to bear it any longer, Shen Yurong shouted, "I'll pay! I'll pay for the trip!"
Sooner or later, this couple will drive him to his death!
