Chapter 28 The Victim is Guilty
"Winter plum blossom, look at me." Shi Yu knew the temper of the barrage.
There are all kinds of people in this world. Some people have good intentions, but what they say can be very hurtful, not to mention some people who speak out of pure malice.
It is not suitable for Wintersweet to see those comments at this time of winter. She has an obligation to protect her patrons.
Lin Xiaomei's eyes were red. At this time, Zhao Xiong beside her had slowly calmed down. Although the pain had disappeared, Zhao Xiong could not recover for a while and could only reach out his hand weakly towards Lin Xiaomei.
Lin Xiaomei stopped crying and looked up at Shi Yu on the screen. "I was really planning to give up, really, but my daughter...she's still so young, she..."
"I know."
Shi Yu responded softly, her voice seemed to carry a magical power. Although it was only three words, it really calmed Lin Xiaomei down.
"You just need to stay calm and tell us what you know."
Lin Xiaomei covered her mouth and nodded repeatedly, quickly calming herself down. Although her voice was still choked with sobs, she was able to communicate normally. "Actually, I'm not sure what's going on either."
"One day, suddenly, whenever he hits me, I'll feel the same pain as before, all over my body as if it were on fire. But this kind of pain only happens once a day. After the pain is over, if he hits me again, I won't feel any reaction."
Lin Xiaomei glanced at Zhao Xiong. She did not dodge, but the fear in her eyes could not be faked.
[Why didn't you call the police? Men like this should be handed over to the state for education!]
[Don't be too naive, the police generally won't intervene in situations like this.]
It's hard to comment on this. I was a police officer for a while, and I handled many similar domestic violence cases. Some women begged the police for help while being beaten, but when their husbands were actually arrested, they turned around and said it was a family matter and demanded the case be dropped.
Without a reporter, the police have no way to intervene.
[It is because there are so many people like this that many people who really need help have nowhere to turn! ]
[Stop making excuses! You can get a divorce, but if you can't, then we're just fighting. To put it bluntly, isn't it just your own failure?]
[The above person, who has never experienced suffering, should not speak so lightly and stop blaming the victim here.]
Seeing the heated debate in the comments, Lin Xiaomei quickly explained, "I...I've called the police and tried to get a divorce, but...maybe I'm just a loser."
Shi Yu looked at the barrage, frowning all the time.
During this period of time, she has learned some about the situation of this era. If it were in feudal society, it would be fine, but women at that time could not be considered independent people.
No one takes domestic violence seriously.
But what era is this? She didn't expect that in an era when women can already enter society, such remarks could still appear. To be honest, she was more or less disappointed.
"Let's not talk about that for now."
Shi Yu glanced at Zhao Xiong, who was still lying on the ground groaning, and a cold look flashed in his eyes. "That man, stop pretending that you're already fine. If you don't want to be pestered by your ex-wife anymore, get up and talk."
Zhao Xiong thought he was pretending very well.
Of course, he had good ideas.
Lin Xiaomei didn't know about some of his past events. If his problem could be solved through Lin Xiaomei alone, that would of course be the best!
Although the fight was very enjoyable at the time, Zhao Xiong was also very clear.
Some of his actions are not worthy of praise if viewed from outside.
But looking at the current situation, I can't pretend anymore.
Zhao Xiong slowly got up from the ground, coughing twice.
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that as soon as Zhao Xiong spoke, Lin Xiaomei's whole body shook a few times. For a moment, she didn't even dare to raise her head, and she wished she could curl up like a quail.
"Handong Lamei, you and your husband are both remarried, not the original couple, right?"
Although it sounded like a question, Shi Yu's tone was very firm, and Lin Xiaomei nodded, "Yes, we are both remarried."
"Then do you know that his ex-wife was beaten to death by him?"
[Oh shit! I think I heard something incredible!]
[Anchor, please stop talking nonsense. Even if it's domestic violence, it's fatal. There's no way the authorities will just ignore it. How could this man still be sitting here in peace?]
[The one above, our sister Shi has never been wrong! ]
Regardless of what the comments said, Lin Xiaomei was already frozen in place after hearing these words, "How...how could it be, I've even met his ex-wife!"
"Little girl, if you keep talking nonsense, wait until I find you, and you'll see me..."
"ah!"
Zhao Xiong didn't finish his words before he felt the pain of being burned by fire again. He curled up on the ground and rolled over, letting out a shrill howl.
"What's going on, host?" Lin Xiaomei hated Zhao Xiong.
But facing this unknown situation, he was obviously a little scared. "He has never experienced such continuous pain before. Will he die from the pain?"
Shi Yu watched coldly, and when his gaze fell on Lin Xiaomei, he smiled and shook his head, "Don't worry, I'm watching over him. Even if he wants to die, it won't be that easy."
To outsiders, Zhao Xiong was just howling and rolling around, but everything around him was completely normal.
But this scene looked completely different in Shi Yu's eyes.
The sky was filled with flames, which enveloped Zhao Xiong tightly. Not far from the fire, a vague shadow was staring at him!
Shi Yu knew without a doubt that the woman was Zhao Xiong's ex-wife.
"Zhao Xiong, I know your family has some power. For you, beating a woman to death is not a big deal at all, but I can tell you clearly that if you don't tell me what you did, the pain you feel this time will never go away."
The soul of Zhao Xiong's ex-wife is really too weak.
Otherwise, Zhao Xiong would not be burned at most once a day.
But that was before. Now Shi Yu is here, and as long as she wants, Zhao Xiong's pain will never stop!
At this moment, Lin Xiaomei was already far away from Zhao Xiong. She had also realized that something was wrong. It seemed that there were more than just the two of them in the room!
Originally, Zhao Xiong wanted to hold on.
He knew better than anyone that those things must never be made public, otherwise no one could save him.
But... it's so painful!
"Speak! I'll speak!"
Zhao Xiong was breathing heavily. Hearing this, Shi Yu snapped his fingers, and the howling on the screen immediately became much quieter, but it did not disappear completely.
Zhao Xiong's eyes widened. "I've already told you everything! Why does it still hurt?"
