"Oh my God, Old Chen, how did you get beaten up like this? Who hit you?"
The moment Ma Yulian saw Chen Dazhu, her vision went black.
Because Chen Dazhu was beaten so badly, there was dried blood around his nostrils, bruises and swelling at the corners of his mouth, and one of his eyes was now a black eye!
Ma Yulian reached out to touch Chen Dazhu's face, her eyes filled with heartache.
Chen Dazhu's embarrassed state was seen by Ma Yulian, making him feel very ashamed. He was immediately filled with anger and didn't want to talk to Ma Yulian!
Ma Yulian, however, was so concerned about Chen Dazhu that she made no attempt to hide her improper relationship with him in front of so many people.
Li Junsheng stood to the side, but she didn't care about him. Instead, she reached out and touched Chen Dazhu's face!
This action caused many people around her to look at her with a slightly scrutinizing gaze.
They even started whispering and talking amongst themselves, especially the Zhang family sisters-in-law who had previously bumped into Chen Dazhu and Ma Yulian coming out of an alley!
"Li Junsheng, release my dad right now! Did you beat him up like this?"
Chen Zhiyuan stopped calling Li Junsheng "Uncle Li" and started calling him by his name directly. He also spoke to him in a somewhat fierce manner.
At this moment, the neighborhood committee director coughed lightly and said to Chen Zhiyuan, "Your father was reported by this Comrade Li Junsheng for being involved in the warehouse arson case. We need to investigate whether he is innocent before we can release him."
Before Chen Zhiyuan could say anything, Ma Yulian thought for a moment and prepared to find an excuse to help Chen Dazhu get away with his crime!
She rolled her eyes and immediately pointed at Li Junsheng, saying, "I'm his wife. A couple of nights ago, I overheard him plotting with someone to frame Chen Dazhu. Director Qian, you can't believe him. Li Junsheng is a real scoundrel at home."
Upon hearing this, the onlookers couldn't help but sigh in disgust. This Ma Yulian is truly a traitor!
She even knows she's Li Junsheng's wife? How could she possibly side with an outsider like this?
Li Junsheng stared coldly at Ma Yulian, a sneer playing on his lips.
Director Qian, however, felt that her identification was not very credible.
"You said you overheard Li Junsheng plotting to frame Chen Dazhu a couple of days ago. What day was that? What was the exact time?"
Director Qian is not someone who can be swayed by Ma Yulian's words and fail to distinguish right from wrong!
He then questioned Ma Yulian about the more specific details, but Ma Yulian stammered and couldn't answer at all.
"Anyway, Li Junsheng is just an ordinary person. If he arrests someone and beats them up like this, it must be illegal. Why don't we call the police first!"
Now that things had come to this, Li Junsheng could no longer remain silent. He stepped forward and said to Director Qian, "Director Qian, we should call the police. We have witnesses and physical evidence here to prove that Chen Dazhu committed arson."
Upon hearing this, Director Qian's eyes lit up, while Chen Dazhu's face turned pale!
If Li Junsheng really produces irrefutable evidence, then I'm in big trouble.
Li Junsheng gave Tang Liang a wink, and Tang Liang nodded. He quickly called over the gas station employee and told him to point out Chen Dazhu!
"This is the man. He came to our place yesterday and bought a five-liter can of gasoline. I even made sure to get his name."
The gas station employees have no grudge against Chen Dazhu and certainly wouldn't wrong him!
Tang Liang also produced the oil drum that Chen Dazhu had left at the warehouse the night before, so it could be said that he was caught red-handed.
"Chen Dazhu, let me ask you this: you don't own a car, nor do you drive a truck, so why are you buying gasoline?"
"I……"
Chen Dazhu opened his mouth, wanting to defend himself, but he simply couldn't deny it!
Even Qin Yong sided with Li Junsheng; otherwise, he could have said he bought the gasoline for Li Junsheng.
The irrefutable evidence was right there, leaving Ma Yulian speechless!
Director Qian's gaze toward Chen Dazhu and Ma Yulian also sharpened.
"Comrade Chen Dazhu, how could you do such a wrong thing, endangering other people's property and personal safety?"
Chen Dazhu remained silent, while Li Junsheng, sensing the opportune moment, directly turned his attention to Ma Yulian.
"Ma Yulian, you're having an improper relationship with Chen Dazhu, aren't you? You don't even know how to keep it a secret, do you? Behaving intimately with him in front of me, your respectable husband, have you no shame?"
The neighbors also started pointing and gossiping about Ma Yulian and Chen Dazhu.
"Oh dear, how indecent! Chen Dazhu got beaten up, and look how heartbroken Ma Yulian is. She's not even afraid we'll find out about their affair. If this were before, wouldn't she have been drowned? She's just lucky to be in this situation!"
The Zhang sisters-in-law excitedly added, "I knew she and this Chen guy were something special! I even saw them coming out of an alley one after the other before. Who knows what they were doing in there!"
"Stop talking, have pity on Brother Li, he's been cuckolded."
Outside the crowd, Li Guojun had just arrived when he heard Li Junsheng mention his mother's affair with Chen Dazhu!
His heart skipped a beat, and he thought to himself that his mother's affair with Chen Dazhu must not be discovered now.
Li Guojun squeezed to the front of the crowd to shield Ma Yulian and Chen Dazhu.
"What nonsense are you talking about? My mom isn't like that. It's clearly my dad who's sick. He always thinks everyone is trying to harm him and betray him!"
Li Guojun still wanted to smear Li Junsheng. The two exchanged a glance, and Li Guojun looked away guiltily.
Li Junsheng remained expressionless, then with all his might, he slapped Li Guojun hard across the face, knocking him to the ground.
Upon seeing this, Ma Yulian exclaimed in surprise and quickly tried to help Li Guojun up. But upon closer inspection, she realized that Li Junsheng had knocked out two of her son's teeth!
Ma Yulian was instantly enraged by Li Junsheng. She was so angry that she lost her mind. She glared at Li Junsheng and shouted indiscriminately, "Li Junsheng, if you have the guts, come at me! Why are you hitting your son? If you've got the courage, kill me! So what if I like Old Chen?"
“Look at yourself, can you even compare to Old Chen? You used to pretend to be honest and cowardly, but recently you’ve started to show your true colors, constantly beating and scolding me and the National Army.”
"A person like you deserves to be a bachelor for life. I'm so unlucky to have married you. Old Chen would never lay a hand on me. If you had treated me even a little better, would I have cheated on you?"
Ma Yulian confirmed her improper relationship with Chen Dazhu, and then acted like a shrew, as if she were the one who had been wronged.
Several of her children, as well as many neighbors over the years, are watching. Ma Yulian's words are truly laughable!
Li Guohua, Li Chunya, and Li Xiaoyu were embarrassed, and also furious because Ma Yulian was heartless.
"Mom, do you have a conscience? Over the years, which of us, Dad, or anyone else hasn't listened to you and obeyed you? Dad gives you his entire monthly salary, and we give you all the money we earn now. You don't even have to work; you just play cards and dance all day, and you still say Dad treats you badly?"
"That's right, you never lift a finger, and Dad, Second Sister, and Xiaoyu are treated like your servants. What more could you want? Don't make excuses for your dissatisfaction!"
