"You beast! I'm your father, how dare you talk about him like that!"
Seeing Li's father raise his hand towards Li Qiutang, Lin Xiaoxiao stepped forward with a cold face to block Li Qiutang's way, grabbed Li's father's arm and shoved him forward hard.
"Qiu Tang is so badly injured that she can't even stand up, and you, as her father, haven't asked her a single question. Now you're going to hit her. What? Do you want to stay in jail a few more days?" Lin Xiaoxiao said, still pretending to be in pain after throwing the object.
In front of so many people, Li's father was frightened by Lin Xiaoxiao's state. Later, he was even verbally abused by his own daughter and threatened in the end.
Seeing the people around him pointing and whispering about him, he felt that he had lost all face and dignity. He immediately became furious and, without thinking, wanted to slap each of the two women in front of him.
With both arms raised high, it seemed as if you could hear the wind whistling through them. Many people shrank back and closed their eyes, thinking that if this slap landed, even a person would lose their balance.
Those watching with their eyes closed waited for several seconds, wondering why the slap hadn't come down yet, making their hearts jump with each passing second.
Then, when he opened his eyes, he saw that Han Qiulin had appeared at some point, and her eyes were red.
"Slap." A crisp slap rang out, catching Li's father completely off guard. His face was almost twisted to one side by Han Qiulin's slap.
Seeing this, Lin Xiaoxiao withdrew her retaliatory hand and also lowered her arm that was supporting Li Qiutang.
Seeing Han Qiulin come over and protect her, Li Qiutang's eyes lit up, and the worry that had been hanging over her heart finally settled down.
The beaten father staggered several steps before finally regaining his balance. Realizing that he had been beaten by a junior again, he stared intently at Han Qiulin and Li Qiutang with his sunken eyes.
Right now, there's only one thought in my mind: how dare my shameless daughter and my son-in-law, who want to get something for nothing, hit me, their future father-in-law.
Even if it's not for a steamed bun, we must fight for our pride and kill them.
Li's father clenched his fists tightly and walked forward step by step, displaying an air of fearlessness in the face of death.
Standing between Lin Xiaoxiao and Li Qiutang, Han Qiulin reacted even faster than Li's father. Seeing him like this, he took a step forward and quickly restrained Li's father, pinning his hands behind his back.
Seeing that Li's father was still struggling desperately, she grabbed the back of his neck with one hand and took out a shiny bracelet from her waist with the other and put it on Li's father's hand.
Before Li's father could speak, Han Qiulin preemptively struck.
“Comrade Li Jianguo, if you continue your madness and do not restrain yourself, then don’t blame me for sending you to the police station. All your words and actions just now have constituted the crimes of defamation, intentional injury, and trespassing. As a public official, I have the right to take you to the police station for detention.”
Upon hearing this, Li's father fell to the ground and screamed, repeatedly shouting, "Bullshit! You are oppressing the people and abusing your power! I came here to seek justice! Why are you arresting me? If you're going to arrest anyone, you should arrest them all! Our family has become like this because of your schemes!"
“We set you up? Everything you did is recorded in the police records. At first, you came to take advantage of us, but when you didn’t get the money you wanted, you reported us. They were imprisoned because they were punished for making false accusations.”
"You mean to say we set a trap? You mean the Han family got tired of living too comfortably and then made you cooperate to report us? What kind of freaks are you to do something like that?"
"We harmed you? The police investigation of my family has always been open and transparent. The entire incident is documented and there are witnesses. To say we set a trap is to question the credibility of the police and the entire country!!!"
“If you’re not satisfied, go ahead and appeal to higher authorities. The fact that you haven’t is because you’re guilty and can only find a way to get us to release you through Qiu Tang.”
"Qiu Tang is a girl with sound values. She didn't want you to make one mistake after another, so she had to avoid you. But you kept trying to morally blackmail Qiu Tang, making it impossible for an injured girl to stay in the hospital, not to stay at home, and not even to stay at a friend's house safely."
"She could only come and live with my sister-in-law, and in your mouth, she's become a shameless girl. No father in the world has ever ruined his daughter's reputation like that!!"
“Two people from your family have gone in, and instead of showing any restraint, you’ve come here to incite and mislead the masses. I think you should take this opportunity to go in and receive a proper education from the Party and the country!” Han Qiulin felt increasingly indignant for Li Qiutang as he spoke, and his grip on Li’s father tightened.
When Han Qiulin grabbed him, Li's father gasped in pain, whether it was his hand or the back of his neck. The more he struggled, the stronger Han Qiulin's grip became, and he was in so much pain that he dared not move.
After Han Qiulin's explanation, Li's father knew that there was no point in saying anything more. He could only lower his head in humiliation and begin to beg Han Qiulin for forgiveness.
"No, don't send me in. I don't know anything. I'm so old, I can't even read a single word. I didn't mean to."
“I was also misled. I was so angry when I heard that my daughter had done such a thing that I said those nonsensical things. I know I was wrong now and I will never say such things again.”
“My daughter is recuperating here, and with your meticulous care, I feel very at ease. Please release me immediately. I will not come to bother you again, nor will I talk nonsense outside.”
Lin Xiaoxiao raised an eyebrow upon hearing this: "Being deceived? Who deceived you?"
When Li's father heard Lin Xiaoxiao's question, he glanced at her, then kept his mouth tightly shut. He looked at Li Qiutang for help, but when Li Qiurong turned her head away, he knew that Li Qiutang was completely unreliable, so he could only give a dry explanation.
No, it's not!
"Look how scared and nervous I am. I just said the wrong thing again. I made it all up because I was angry. I don't even know what 'deceiving' means."
Lin Xiaoxiao snorted: "You don't even know what 'deception' means before you use it? Do you think what you say can be trusted?"
Mr. Li hurriedly explained, "Really, I just heard someone use this word and thought it sounded very sophisticated, so I used it."
"Even now, you haven't uttered a single truthful word. It seems you really want to go in and be with that mother and daughter. Li Qiutang is only concerned because you're her daughter, so she won't do anything to you. But I'm not your family. I'm calling the police right now!!"
Upon hearing Lin Xiaoxiao's words, Han Qiulin immediately replied, "I will handle this case. I know the whole story clearly. It won't take long to get him into custody. He's currently in detention; it's not time to assign him to a prison yet."
"The family of three can probably live together for a few days, which can be considered a reunion, and the family can live together."
