Zhou Xiaoye's words, which sounded like a curse, startled everyone present, causing them to gasp in shock.
Tiger was terrified by the overwhelming resentment in her words.
But what followed was a torrent of rage.
"You little bastard, you wanted to burn my house down? Well, I'll kill you first!"
As he spoke, he picked up a stick from the side and lashed it at Zhou Xiaoye.
No matter how ruthless Zhou Xiaoye is, he's just a sixteen-year-old kid. How could he possibly beat him?
In just a short while, several red marks appeared on his body and face.
But she gritted her teeth and remained silent, her eyes filled with even more resentment as she stared intently at Hu Zi.
Tiger was both frightened and enraged by the stares, and his attacks became increasingly brutal.
Zhou Xiaoye's clothes were all torn to shreds.
Some onlookers couldn't stand it anymore and said, "Tiger, why are you arguing with a little girl like her?"
Wang Dahua interjected first: "You don't care? Then are you going to compensate me for the house she burned down?"
Immediately, no one spoke.
While hitting Zhou Xiaoye, Hu Zi said, "I didn't expect you, you little bastard, to have some backbone?"
"You won't back down, huh? Then I'll beat you until you beg for mercy!"
"Not only will we beat you up, but we'll also call the police and have the police arrest you and put you in jail!"
Still want revenge?
Then let's just go to jail together with that little bastard Li Weidong!
Upon hearing this, Zhou Xiaoye was not afraid at all; in fact, he laughed.
Li Weidong's arrest had already left her utterly despondent. If she were to be imprisoned herself, it would be perfect for her to be with Li Weidong!
She had heard that conditions in prison were very harsh, so she figured that if she went in, she could take care of Li Weidong.
Seeing that she could still laugh, Tiger became even angrier: "You bastard, I'll beat you to death today and see how long you can keep up this act!"
The stick struck Zhou Xiaoye, making a series of sharp, cracking sounds that made one's teeth ache.
In just a short while, Zhou Xiaoye's clothes were torn to shreds, and he even had two blows to the face, making him look quite frightening.
Everyone couldn't stand it anymore.
Not daring to speak ill of Hu Zi, she began to persuade Zhou Xiaoye.
"Why are you so stubborn, little girl? What's wrong with apologizing!"
"You burned down their house first, so you should apologize and pay compensation. What are you still being so stubborn about?"
"How can a teenage girl be so temperamental? If she doesn't apologize, she's really going to be beaten to death!"
"If Tiger calls the police, you won't be able to go to school anymore. Just give in!"
Everyone offered their advice in unison.
Some even brought up Li Weidong: "Xiao Ye, Weidong has been arrested. No matter how tough you are, no one will back you up. What's the point?"
"If you just lower your head, everyone can help you mediate, and the matter will be over. Otherwise, it might really escalate into a fight!"
Zhou Xiaoye gritted his teeth, his face stubborn, and glared at Hu Zi, saying, "If you have the guts, then kill me."
"If you can't kill me, then your whole family will die!"
Wang Dahua was furious: "Son, don't waste your breath on her, just beat her to death!"
Tiger was panting heavily after fighting for a long time, but seeing that Zhou Xiaoye not only refused to back down but also dared to make threats, he was furious.
"You bastard, you still think someone can back you up?"
"Let me tell you, Li Weidong is a murderer. He's been arrested and will be shot sooner or later. If you're going to protect him like this, then I'll kill you first and send you down to wait for him!"
As he spoke, he fiercely raised the stick in his hand, ready to kill.
Zhou Xiaoye looked up at the raised stick, his expression calming down, and even a hint of a smile appeared on his face.
If Li Weidong can't survive, then I'll die first and go to the underworld to pick him up. That would be fine too.
Just as Tiger was about to smash down with his stick, someone outside suddenly shouted, "Two police cars are here!"
"What?"
Tiger was stunned for a moment: "What police car? Mom, did you call the police?"
Wang Dahua was also completely bewildered: "I've been here the whole time, where do I go to call the police?"
"If you didn't call the police, what were they doing here?"
Tiger put down the stick as he spoke.
After all, if the police come and someone gets killed, he won't come out unscathed.
The police car stopped outside Li Weidong's yard.
Everyone craned their necks to see what was going on.
A glimmer of hope flashed in Zhou Xiaoye's eyes as he stared intently at the police car.
The police car door opened.
Li Weidong got out of the car.
An uproar erupted all around!
Tiger was also dumbfounded, staring at Li Weidong in disbelief: "You... how did you come back?"
Li Weidong didn't even glance at him, but rushed to Zhou Xiaoye in one stride, both shocked and furious: "Who beat you up like this?!"
Zhou Xiaoye stared at him blankly, not daring to move, afraid that all of this was just a dream.
The moment I moved, the dream ended, and Li Weidong disappeared.
"It's over, my sister-in-law has been beaten into a mentally impaired state!"
Li Xiaoli screamed.
Zhou Xiaoye then realized that this was not a dream.
She hadn't uttered a word when Hu Zi beat her so badly, but now that she saw Li Weidong, all her grievances welled up and she suddenly threw herself into his arms and burst into tears.
Li Weidong's heart clenched, and he hugged her, coaxing her repeatedly, "Don't cry, don't cry. It's my fault for coming back too late and making you suffer."
"Does it hurt a lot?"
Zhou Xiaoye clutched his shirt, sobbing uncontrollably, "I...I thought you'd never come back!"
"I thought I would never see you again!"
She even thought that if Li Weidong died, there would be no point in her living, so she might as well die with him!
Li Weidong felt even more heartache and moved: "Silly girl, didn't I say nothing would happen? Now that I'm back, stop crying. Seeing you like this makes me so sad!"
As he spoke, he put his hand on Zhou Xiaoye's shoulder, trying to wipe away her tears.
But upon seeing the injuries on her face, he was filled with rage and glared at Tiger beside him: "How dare you touch my woman! You have some nerve!"
Tiger was still holding a stick when he was suddenly glanced at by him. The blazing anger in his eyes startled him so much that he dropped the stick and shook his head, saying, "No...no..."
"That's him!"
With someone to rely on, Zhou Xiaoye's voice even carried a hint of coquettishness: "Honey, he's the one who beat me up like this, you have to avenge me!"
Li Weidong sneered: "Tiger, you've got some nerve!"
In his rage, he was even more imposing than Zhou Xiaoye.
Tiger's face turned pale. He glanced around and hid behind Zhang Guoliang.
He then stammered, "The police are here, you...you can't hit me!"
Li Weidong laughed angrily: "You beat my wife up like this, and you're calling the police to protect you?"
He looked at Zhang Guoliang: "Director Zhang, I need to call the police. Zhao Huzi broke into a private residence and intentionally injured someone, beating my wife like this. What should be the sentence?"
Tiger froze for a moment, then immediately reacted, stretching out his arm and saying, "It's none of my business!"
"That little bitch set my house on fire first, and she bit me like this before I took action. If anyone should be arrested, it should be her!!!"
