Chapter 463 Retribution
Shen Zhixia didn't ask him how to handle it; she simply nodded, her face full of trust: "Okay."
Huo Chenzhou was very busy in the following period.
He has been investigating this person.
The more he investigated, the more alarmed he became, because this person had indeed committed many evil deeds.
He not only bribed his superiors, but also beat people in the street. He was a local tyrant, and because he had someone protecting him, everyone around him was afraid of him.
Because Huo Chenzhou took charge this time, many people came forward to speak out about his evil deeds. The owner of a nearby noodle shop said with a mournful face, "That man is arrogant. They came to eat noodles at night and saw that my daughter was pretty, so they harassed her and forced her to drink with them. My daughter refused, so he beat her up. Now my daughter is deaf in her left ear, and they haven't paid a single penny for medical expenses or offered an apology."
There are many more cases like this.
now.
The young woman had just finished her mother's funeral. Her uncle went for a day and then went back to work on his business.
Inside the guesthouse.
The young woman's uncle and several others were drinking when someone brought in five or six girls, all teenagers and very pretty.
A young woman said, "We're here to look for work, are we selling toys?"
The young woman's uncle nodded: "Yes, let's eat first, and we can talk about work later."
After he finished speaking, he ordered people to drink.
The girls initially wanted to refuse, but for the sake of work, they drank the alcohol anyway. After just one sip, they were all drunk.
A man gave him a thumbs up: "Brother, your medicine is amazing! Where did you get it?"
The young woman's uncle chuckled: "Of course I have my own methods."
They began selecting concubines from among these young women.
"This won't do. It's too small. It looks like a child. I don't like it."
"This one."
After the young woman's uncle selected a girl, he was very satisfied and then led her to the inner room.
The next day, the girl woke up in a state of shock.
The young woman's uncle was clearly no stranger to this kind of thing; he was very experienced: "Good girl, I like you. If you come with me, I will give you a lot. You don't want a job, do you? You can go and work now."
"You're one of my people, and I'll treat you very well. Don't worry, if you follow me, I won't let you suffer."
The girl shook her head: "No, I don't want to date you. You're so old, you must be married by now."
Not only are they married, but his daughter is even older than this girl.
The girl cried and said, "You're forcing me. I'm going to report this to the police."
She ran out as soon as she finished speaking, and strangely, no one stopped her.
But just as she climbed outside, several men stood guard and blocked her way, preventing her from leaving.
The girl was terrified: "What are you doing? Let me go."
Those men were already quite skilled at it. They said menacingly, "Now that we've come this far, do you think I'd let you go?"
The young woman's uncle said from inside, "Think it over carefully. You'll gain a lot from dating me."
They were clearly experienced, taking turns brainwashing the girl, one playing the good cop and the other the bad cop, just to keep her from leaving.
A teenage girl encountering something like this for the first time in society is completely overwhelming, leaving her somewhat dazed.
The young woman's uncle was secretly very pleased with himself. He often recruited employees in private, choosing only young and beautiful girls. In reality, he was selecting concubines in secret, and he always bullied these girls in this way.
He has harmed quite a few young girls, but when faced with such situations, those girls always choose to let things go, so it has no impact on him.
This time is no different.
Just as the girl's heart was about to be breached, the door was suddenly kicked open.
The several burly men asked in a panic, "Who...who are you?"
Upon seeing that the person was in uniform, they exclaimed in shock, "Police? But no one called the police here, why are there police?"
They wouldn't be afraid of the local police, since they've given them a lot of money; they probably wouldn't bother with this matter.
The leading soldier sneered, "We're not police, but someone reported you for assaulting and kidnapping people, and for abusing innocent girls. Come with us."
The young woman's uncle recognized them at a glance. He tried to run away from the bedside, but was quickly subdued by one of the soldiers.
In the end, this man was sentenced to life imprisonment. Not only him, but also his subordinates were sentenced to prison terms ranging from a few years to more than ten years.
Upon learning this, Shen Zhixia exclaimed in shock, "What on earth did he do to deserve such a severe sentence?"
After Huo Chenzhou resolved this matter, she thought that at most he would just teach that person a lesson. She never expected that Huo Chenzhou would be able to wipe them all out in one fell swoop.
“He does everything. I initially just wanted to investigate whether he had done anything illegal or disorderly, but the locals were already dissatisfied with him. Many people told me about his misdeeds. He was too arrogant. Many locals had been bullied by him. He has committed numerous crimes.”
When Huo Chenzhou spoke of him, his face was still filled with anger: "What's most outrageous is that he also insulted many innocent young girls, tricking them all into coming here for a concubine selection banquet. When my people found him, he had just tricked a few girls. A person like him deserves not only life imprisonment, but also the death penalty."
After hearing this, Shen Zhixia also felt disgusted with this person: "No wonder he can be so arrogant. It seems that this is his usual behavior."
"Yes, I never expected there would be such a person. The locals have really been harmed by him. Whenever they see him, they go out of their way to avoid him."
Shen Zhixia nodded: "He deserved to die now."
Huo Chenzhou remained silent, his expression still grim.
Shen Zhixia asked curiously, "He's already been punished, so why do you seem to be in a bad mood?"
Huo Chenzhou said, "Even if he's dead, the things he did will still cast a shadow on the victims. I wish I had discovered it sooner. But the thought that someone like him still exists in some corner makes me feel disgusted."
Shen Zhixia said helplessly, "Where the sun doesn't shine, there will always be shadowy places. This is unavoidable. But the fact that you were able to catch him this time can be considered as ridding the people of a scourge. This is a good thing and it is justice."
Huo Chenzhou said, "Your words do comfort me somewhat. Actually, this person came to me before. He wanted to bribe me and ask for a favor, but I refused."
If he had investigated this person properly back then, he might have been caught sooner. But who could have imagined this?
If this person hadn't been so reckless as to try and hurt Shen Zhixia, he probably would never have been able to make him pay the price.
"It's a very dark place, and it involves many people, including some local officials. I never imagined he would be so audacious," Huo Chenzhou exclaimed.
Shen Zhixia asked with some concern, "If that's the case, will this matter affect you? Will those people involved in this matter come after you?"
Huo Chenzhou shook his head: "Those people will be held accountable too, it's just a matter of time."
Shen Zhixia breathed a sigh of relief: "As long as it doesn't affect you, it's fine."
She doesn't have any grand love; she may sympathize with the victims of what's happening outside, but ultimately, she cares most about the people around her.
She didn't ask for much; she just wanted her family to be safe and sound.
