Chapter 167: It’s all my fault. I won’t dare to mess around anymore…
These hooligans don't have proper jobs, and many of them have just been released from prison.
There were a few who were from the slums in the south of the city. They used to follow Lu Henian and could occasionally cover for that group of cunning people to earn some pocket money.
Now that Lu Henian is gone, they have lost their backbone and have simply returned to their old ways, stealing or gambling.
With such conditions, it is impossible to get a wife. Anyway, there is no other entertainment, so they go out to the party in the middle of the night.
After all, they are not the only ones who like to gamble. Some of those who have decent jobs, wives and children are dishonest.
A little gambling is fun. As long as the amount is not too big and does not cause chaos at home, their wives generally will not actually ask for a divorce.
Who would have thought that a beautiful woman would bump into me? This is a rare opportunity, so I have to tease her.
Unfortunately, there was someone in the crowd who used to be good friends with Caibao and recognized T at a glance. This person was Zhou Juan, who had some background.
He quickly stopped the others and advised, "Forget it. This woman's surname is Zhou, you can't afford to offend her. Let's go, they're waiting over there."
"Surname Zhou?" A man with crooked eyes and a slanted mouth came forward with a raised eyebrow and looked at Zhou Juan carefully. "Who is Zhou Jun to you?"
"He's my cousin, what's wrong?" Zhou Juan was a little panicked. She had finally gotten pregnant and didn't want anything to go wrong.
But this group of people didn't look like good people. If they really had any bad intentions towards her late at night, she might not be able to protect herself.
In a hurry, he had to introduce himself: "Be polite to me, my mother is Zhou Ying, who works in the provincial government. If you dare to mess around, my mother will not let you go."
The man was happy when he heard it.
It's really like searching for a needle in a haystack. It's because he has a grudge against the Zhou family.
Others may not know, but he knows very well that Zhou Jun played a big role in the downfall of Director Cao and Director Hu.
Logically speaking, monkeys scatter when the tree falls. This is nothing. He didn't get any benefits from Director Hu and Director Cao, so they couldn't hurt him. It's a pity that his father is the accountant in the factory. Because he was timid and didn't dare to cause trouble, he didn't dare to report Director Cao. As a result, when Director Cao got into trouble, his father also suffered.
He himself lost his job because of his father's affairs and was divorced by his fiancée's family. How could he not hate the Zhou family?
He stepped forward and pinched Zhou Juan's chin: "Tsk tsk tsk, she's quite pretty, huh? I just don't know--"
As the dirty talk was about to come out, Zhou Juan got anxious and slapped the man's hand away: "Get away! If you touch me again, I will call the police!"
"Call the police? This place is at least ten minutes away from the central police station. It's late at night and everyone is asleep. Do you really think anyone will come to rescue you?" The man grabbed Zhou Juan's wrist with a wicked grin and subconsciously tried to pull her into his arms.
He turned around and elbowed her twice on the neck, and she fainted, but she still let him do whatever he wanted.
Unfortunately, things did not go as he wished. Just as he was about to take another step, he heard the sound of a bicycle bell behind him.
A refined scholar rushed over, so anxious that he almost jumped out of the car.
He kept shouting, "Juan'er, don't be afraid, I'm here to protect you."
Zhou Juan instantly gained courage and struggled frantically, but the man was too strong and she couldn't break free. In desperation, she had to lower her head and bite the back of the man's hand.
The man felt pain and slapped Zhou Juan in the face, making her dizzy and fall into Xu Wei's arms.
Xu Wei was heartbroken. He held the man up and said coldly, "You guys are bullying a female comrade. Do you have any shame?"
"Then come on? Do you dare, pretty boy?" The back of the man's hand was bitten and bloody, and he was filled with anger.
Xu Wei was not afraid of trouble. He helped Zhou Juan steady herself, let her go away, and then stood up to greet her.
The man threw a punch without hesitation, but Xu Wei dodged it by turning his head away and punched back with his backhand.
The man reacted quickly and dodged, but his originally playful face couldn't help but become more serious.
I didn't realize that this gentle scholar is so capable.
The two exchanged more than ten moves before the man found an opportunity and punched Xu Wei.
Xu Wei would not take the beating in vain. He kneed the man in the stomach, pulled the man down with his left hand, and added an elbow strike at the man's back.
With a "wow" sound, the man spat out a mouthful of blood and staggered to the ground.
Seeing this, the others quickly surrounded them, using their numbers to bully the weak and get back their advantage.
In the chaos, only the one who followed Caibao did not interfere. Instead, he picked up the bicycle next to him and quickly called the police.
When Zhou Juan saw Xu Wei being beaten by a group of people, she was so anxious that she turned around and around, crying and shouting, but she didn't dare to go forward for fear of hitting her stomach.
Seeing that Xu Wei was about to be beaten unconscious, Zhou Juan had no choice but to pick up a brick from the roadside, screamed, rushed forward, and aimed it at the back of the head of one of the men.
With a snap, the man felt pain, wiped the back of his head, cursed, turned around and grabbed Zhou Juan's neck.
Zhou Juan had no idea that she had so little strength. She even hit him with a brick, but it was of no use. She could only shout for help at the top of her lungs.
It happened that Yao Weihua was helping the ghosts in the detention center fulfill their last wishes and passed by here. Seeing this, he quickly turned Jiaojiao into a wolfdog and rushed over.
Jiaojiao was extremely ferocious. With a sudden charge, she pushed away the crowd that was besieging Xu Wei, and bit each of these thugs, either on the arm or on the ankle, causing blood to flow instantly.
Finally, he aimed at the man who was holding Zhou Juan's neck, let out a roar, and aimed at the man's arm.
The blood and severe pain stimulated the man's brain. He screamed, let go of his hand, left Zhou Juan, turned around and ran away.
Zhou Juan was so frightened that she fainted and lay on the ground motionless.
Yao Weihua quickly ran over to take a look and found that the person was fine, just unconscious.
As for Xu Wei...
He had been beaten unconscious, but Yao Weihua respected him as a man.
He quickly felt Xu Wei's chest and found that his ribs were broken. He could only shout, "Jiaojiao, go get your mother to help me watch them. I have to call the police."
We have to call an ambulance, otherwise, if he moves around, the broken ribs might pierce Xu Wei's lungs.
Jiaojiao circled Yao Weihua twice, then quickly ran towards a nearby alley, transformed into a little snake, and sought support from her mother.
As a result, in less than five minutes, the Zhou family rushed over and were stunned to see Xu Wei and Zhou Juan lying unconscious on the ground.
Zhou Ying ran over crying and helped Zhou Juan up from the ground. Xu's parents collapsed on the ground in fear. Finally, Zhou E came forward and asked, "What happened to my brother-in-law?"
Yao Weihua quickly reminded them, "He was beaten by a group of thugs. Don't worry, I know those thugs and I won't let them get away. Don't move. His ribs are broken. I'm going to call the police and the doctor. Remember, don't move. It could kill someone."
Zhou E quickly took off his coat and covered Xu Wei with it: "Then you go quickly, I'll stay here."
Yao Weihua wasn't sure whether Jiaojiao would be able to find him when she came back, so he decided to save her first and rush to a nearby hospital.
When he got on the ambulance and arrived at the scene, the police also arrived. There were two snow-white cats, one big and one small, squatting beside them and watching quietly.
Yao Weihua jumped out of the car and quickly made way for the medical staff.
A group of people helped to lift Xu Wei onto a stretcher and put him into the ambulance.
As for Zhou Juan, she had woken up and was crying and blaming herself.
Yao Weihua took a calm look and walked towards the police.
The names of all the participants, without exception, matched what the thug who called the police had said.
The police rushed to arrest the man, but due to insufficient police force, they had to go to the Chengnan Police Station for help.
Yao Weihua retired after completing his mission and left the scene with two white cats, one big and one small.
Yao Zhizhi woke up the next day and was surprised to find that her mother-in-law hadn't come for breakfast. She had no choice but to ask Ning Zhengrong, "Dad, where's my mom?"
"She was woken up in the middle of the night and went to help the central police station arrest someone. She will be back soon." Ning Zhengrong was thinking about his wife and had left a breakfast for Tang Fengyuan.
Yao Zhizhi didn't know what was going on, so she asked quickly.
Ning Zhengrong wasn't sure either: "I only know it's related to the Zhou family. Let's wait for your mother to come back and ask her for details."
"I know." Yao Weihua put down his chopsticks and roughly recounted what happened last night.
Yao Zhizhi couldn't believe it: "Xu Wei fought with more than a dozen people alone? Is he trying to kill himself?"
"Who knows him? He looks so gentle, but he's actually quite bold." Yao Weihua checked the time. "I'll go see him later. Do you need a fruit basket or something? I'll buy some and bring it over."
"Changxiao and I will go by ourselves later." After all, Yao Zhizhi still maintains a superficial relationship with Zhou Ying. Even if Zhou Juan is not a good person, she will go to see her if something happens.
What's more, Xu Wei is Chang Dongqing's student, so she must go there.
Yao Weihua nodded: "Okay, then let's go our separate ways."
Yao Zhizhi went to the publishing house and told everyone about this. No one wanted to see Zhou Juan, but they all admired Xu Wei's courage.
So everyone pushed for a representative: "Let Xiao Jiang represent us and deliver the fruit basket."
"Okay, then Xiao Jiang and I will go." Yao Zhizhi looked at the time. It was exactly ten o'clock in the morning. After going to the hospital, she could go home directly after get off work.
He called Xiao Jiang and went to the Art Department to call Qi Changxiao.
Three people, two cars, rushed to the hospital together.
When they got there, Xie Chunxing was holding Zhou Ying's hand and comforting her softly, "The child is still young and doesn't think things through. I believe she will mature after this incident. Don't blame yourself too much, you don't want to do this."
Zhou Ying understood the truth, but how could she face Xu's parents?
If Zhou Juan hadn't been ignorant, how could Xu Wei have been beaten?
It's all her fault. She didn't educate her daughter well.
He turned around and kept apologizing to Xu's parents.
Although Xu's parents loved their daughter-in-law, they loved their son even more. Seeing their son being beaten like this, they didn't want to say a word.
It’s good enough that they don’t force their son to divorce. What else do they want?
Zhou Ying was really helpless and had to call Zhou Juan over and criticize her harshly.
If this had happened in the past, Zhou Juan would have been stubborn and tried to argue, but today she didn't dare, absolutely not.
She lowered her head, bit her lips, and shed tears silently.
I reached out and wanted to hold my mother-in-law's hand, but she shook it off.
I had no choice but to cry and admit my mistake: "Mom, it's all my fault. I won't dare to act recklessly again. I will be obedient in the future. Please don't be angry, okay?"
