Chapter 462 Complaint
Shen Zhixia said calmly, "You should all go back too."
The dozen or so soldiers were silent for a moment, then nodded: "Okay."
The young woman's uncle immediately exclaimed excitedly, "The division commander's wife is so magnanimous, not holding it against us. I knew you were kind. Today's matter was my fault. I will definitely come to apologize another day."
He was saying apologetic words, but his face was all smiles, making you want to punch him.
He was even secretly pleased with himself. He had accidentally offended his teacher's wife and mother, but because of his intelligence, they had no way to punish him.
After all, he didn't cause them any real harm, so what else could these people do?
They couldn't send him to prison.
This is a society governed by law.
Besides, he apologized. It was just a few words, and he could say a lot more like that.
Seeing his smugness, Huo's mother snapped, "You'd better shut up."
She left with Shen Zhixia.
Since Shen Zhixia wasn't going to pursue the matter, she didn't want to bother with these people either; just seeing them made her feel unlucky.
After they left, the young woman stamped her foot and said, "Are we just going to let them go like that? Why do I have to apologize? This makes me lose face!"
Her uncle glared at her, his smile vanishing instantly. His face, etched with wrinkles, looked rather frightening: "You're a jinx! You killed your mother, and you almost killed me too! Do you know that's Commander Huo's wife and mother? You actually made me offend them! How am I supposed to do business now?"
The young woman's eyes reddened: "Uncle, how could you say that to me? I didn't bring death to my mother!"
Her mother's death has always been a thorn in her side, because her mother died trying to save her. However, she would never admit that it was her fault that caused her mother's death, otherwise she would not be able to face herself.
She could only shift the blame to others, saying that it was Shen Zhixia and Huo's mother who failed to stop her, and that the staff's rescue efforts were inadequate, which led to her mother's death.
In short, it has nothing to do with her.
How could her closest uncle hold her responsible for the incident?
Her uncle said impatiently, "Do you think I don't know the whole story? If you hadn't insisted on getting off the bus, how could your mother have died? If you didn't do it, then who did?"
The young woman said, "But it's only because they didn't stop me. You only stopped caring about me after you heard that they had a relationship with Commander Huo. I'm just wondering, they may not even have a relationship with Commander Huo, so why are you so afraid of them?"
"Idiot! If they had nothing to do with Commander Huo, why would so many soldiers be sent to rescue them? I think you're blind."
The young woman said, even more aggrieved, "But Uncle, even so, so what? They still left, didn't they? They didn't dare to hold you accountable at all."
Hearing this, her uncle's smile deepened, and his tone was full of pride: "This is naturally because I know how to handle things. They wanted to cause me trouble, but I didn't do anything to them, so they couldn't find any fault with me. Secondly, I brought them to the guesthouse, which is a clean place, not a place for kidnapping. They were even less able to do anything to me."
“Even the division commander’s wife and mother have to abide by the law. You see, there’s nothing they can do.”
The young woman said, "Uncle is truly amazing."
Her uncle sneered, "Having been in the world for so many years, I've always been very careful in my actions. I would never be so easily brought to my knees."
He was actually very afraid of offending Commander Huo. His business was very large, and he had connections with higher-ups. He had bribed people with a lot of money. Because of this, he had actually approached Commander Huo before.
If he could get Commander Huo's protection, his path would be much smoother. In his territory, he would be highly respected, and no one would dare to provoke him.
So when he learned about Shen Zhixia and Huo's mother's identities, his first reaction was to worry and he also felt some resentment towards the young woman. If he had known that she was Commander Huo's wife and mother, he would never have dared to kidnap them.
But when he later discovered that they had no evidence to arrest him, he straightened his back again.
yes.
Commander Huo had power, but he wasn't a bandit. Even if he wanted to retaliate, he would need a reason. However, he was meticulous in his actions, and they couldn't find any clues about him.
Then he wouldn't care.
It's a bit of a shame that he can no longer curry favor with Commander Huo.
But that was the end of it.
He warned the young woman, "I'm telling you, you can sue the other staff at the zoo, but you're not allowed to mess with Commander Huo anymore, understand? Otherwise, even I can't save you."
"Fine." The young woman was unwilling, but she had no choice but to accept it.
She still sued the zoo staff, determined not to let them off the hook. The lawsuit dragged on for a long time. Out of humanitarian considerations, the zoo eventually paid her some compensation, but she felt the amount was too small and appealed. Ultimately, her appeal was rejected, and the original verdict was upheld.
Of course, these are all things to be discussed later.
When Huo's mother and Shen Zhixia returned, Huo's mother said, "Daughter-in-law, are you really going to forgive them so easily? They kidnapped us. I saw their people outside. If we don't sign, who knows what they might do to us."
In fact, Huo Chenzhou had arranged for people to protect them long ago; otherwise, they might have been in grave danger.
Shen Zhixia said, "I have never forgiven them, but today they did nothing except for forcibly taking us to the guesthouse. Even if I sue him, at most I will only fine him a little money and detain him for a few days. For him, this punishment is far too lenient."
"If he can do something like this, he must be a heinous criminal. He's probably done a lot of bullying and harassing, and he has to pay the price."
When Huo Chenzhou returned that evening, he already knew about what had happened. He was extremely angry, and after checking Shen Zhixia up and down, he asked with concern, "They really didn't hurt you? Are you really alright?"
Shen Zhixia sighed and said, "It almost turned out to be a disaster."
Huo Chenzhou's eyes immediately lit up with anger: "That bastard, he really dares to do that, does he have a death wish!"
Shen Zhixia said, "My mother and I were walking on the road when we were suddenly taken into a car by those people. They were very strong, and we couldn't break free at all. We were just kidnapped like that."
She described it vividly: "After my mother and I were taken away, an older man forced us to sign a confession. We had clearly not committed any crime, but he insisted that we did it. Of course, we wouldn't sign it, so he tried to use illegal means to force us to sign."
She said it in a very dramatic way: "It's fortunate that your people came to rescue us this time, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable. If we hadn't signed, he would have kept torturing us. If we had signed, it would have been even worse, and the old lady's death would have been linked to us."
Huo Chenzhou was nearly driven mad with rage: "They deserve to die! They really deserve to die!"
Shen Zhixia nodded: "Isn't that right? Sometimes I think it would be better if your people came a little later. If I had been hurt then, they could have been convicted. But now, even if I'm angry, there's nothing I can do to them, so I can only let it go."
Huo Chenzhou said with a serious expression, "Who said we should just let it go like this? He's very arrogant and has definitely done a lot of bad things."
Shen Zhixia agreed: "I think so too. He was able to kidnap me and my mother on the street. He seems to be very skilled. He must have done the same thing to other people before."
Huo Chenzhou stroked his chin and said, "A bully like this must have many other black marks on his record. Once I find out, he won't be able to escape."
He looked at Shen Zhixia with a very serious expression: "Don't worry, I will handle this matter well."
