Chapter 79: Not Playing by the Rules
Lin Wan's mouth, which was covered with cheap lipstick, was now grinning like the old witch in Midnight Horror. She proudly raised the document in her hand. The yellowing of the paper seemed to silently tell a shocking secret that had been buried for many years.
"What? Are you scared? Tsk tsk tsk, you didn't expect that you, Xue Han, would have this day!" Lin Wan's voice was sharp and piercing, like nails scraping on a blackboard, making people's scalp numb.
"You can make me shut up if you want me to. It's simple. If you break up with Xu Yao, I'll pretend nothing happened! Isn't this a good deal? If you miss this opportunity, you'll miss it forever!"
Xu Yao felt that Xue Han beside her was like a tense cheetah, his muscles revealing a sense of danger ready to strike.
She held Xue Han's hand with her backhand, felt the coldness and slight trembling of his palm, and sighed in her heart.
It seems that what Lin Wan holds in her hand is really a "trump card"!
"Comrade Lin Wan, your behavior is simply so low that it can penetrate the core of the earth!" Xu Yao took a deep breath and tried to keep herself calm.
She couldn't let this "white lotus" succeed.
"Do you think you can separate us with such a childish method? Big sister, wake up! What era is this? Are you still playing this kind of palace drama?"
Xu Yao's tone contained a hint of sarcasm, a hint of disdain, and a hint of... pity for the mentally retarded person.
She knew that to deal with this kind of person, it would be better to use a little force to overcome the opponent than to confront her head on. She should overwhelm her with her momentum first!
Sure enough, when Lin Wan heard Xu Yao's words, the smug look on her face instantly faded away, replaced by a trace of panic and anger.
She didn't expect that Xu Yao would "not play by the rules", which made all the "conspiracies and tricks" she had prepared instantly useless.
"You... stop making excuses here!" Lin Wan shouted fiercely, "I'm telling you, if the contents of this document are exposed, you two will be ruined!"
"Oh? Really? Then I'd like to take a closer look at what's written in this document." Xu Yao said, and was about to reach out to snatch the document from Lin Wan's hand.
Seeing this, Lin Wan quickly took a few steps back and held the document tightly in her arms, as if she was holding a priceless treasure.
"You...you don't come over here!" she screamed, "I'm warning you, if you dare to touch me, I will...I will..."
"What about you?" Xu Yao raised her eyebrows, her tone full of provocation.
"Call the police to arrest me? Sure, go ahead! Let the police come and judge who is being unreasonable!"
"Enough!" Xue Han, who had been silent all this time, finally exploded.
He took a sudden step forward, standing in front of Xu Yao, staring at Lin Wan with cold eyes.
"Lin Wan, what do you want to do? If you have anything to say, come to me. Don't embarrass Yaoyao!"
"Xue Han, you...you feel sorry for her?" Lin Wan looked at Xue Han, her eyes full of jealousy and resentment.
"Have you forgotten how you treated me? For her, you treated me like this!"
"I don't want to talk about what happened back then anymore." Xue Han's tone was calm, but with an unquestionable firmness.
"I just want to live a good life with Yaoyao now. I hope you won't bother us anymore!"
"Live a good life? Humph, you wish!" Lin Wan sneered, "As long as I live, I will not let you have an easy life!"
"Comrade Lin Wan, please be careful with your words!" The director of the street office, who had been standing nearby, finally couldn't help but speak.
"I don't want to get involved in your personal grudges. But if you use such unfair means to threaten others, I will not sit idly by!"
"Director, you...you want to help them too?" Lin Wan looked at the director of the street office in disbelief, as if she had suffered a huge blow.
"What benefits have they given you to make you favor them so much?"
"Comrade Lin Wan, please speak more respectfully!" The face of the director of the subdistrict office also turned serious.
"I'm just doing my job impartially, I hope you can understand!"
Xu Yao looked at the three people who were on the verge of a fight and sighed in her heart.
It seems that today's matter is not so easy to resolve.
She turned to look at Xue Han beside her and asked softly, "Xue Han, what exactly is written in this document? Tell me, and we can find a solution together."
Xue Han looked at Xu Yao, his eyes full of apology and guilt.
He knew that this matter could not be concealed after all.
He took a deep breath and said slowly: "Yaoyao, this file records some things from my past. At that time, I was young and hot-tempered, and I made some mistakes..."
"It's okay, just talk, I'm listening." Xu Yao held Xue Han's hand tightly and encouraged him with a gentle look.
Xue Han nodded and began to confess his past to Xu Yao.
His voice was low and hoarse, as if he was telling a secret that had been buried for many years.
Xu Yao listened quietly, without interrupting or interjecting, but just silently held Xue Han's hand, telling him with her actions that no matter what happened, she would face it with him.
The director of the street office nearby also pricked up his ears and listened carefully to Xue Han's story.
He knew that this matter was of great importance. If not handled properly, it might affect Xue Han's future and even the stability of the entire street.
Xue Han talked for a long, long time, as if he wanted to pour out all the secrets that had been buried in his heart for years.
When he finished speaking, he was sweating and his face was pale.
Xu Yao wiped the sweat off his forehead distressedly and said softly: "Xue Han, it's all in the past, don't think too much. I believe in you, no matter what happens, I will face it with you!"
Xue Han looked at Xu Yao, his eyes filled with gratitude and emotion.
He hugged Xu Yao tightly and whispered in her ear: "Yaoyao, thank you, thank you for trusting me so much!"
After listening to Xue Han's story, the director of the subdistrict office pondered for a moment, then walked up to Lin Wan and said seriously: "Comrade Lin Wan, please show me the document."
Lin Wan hesitated for a moment, but finally handed the document to the director of the street office.
The director of the subdistrict office carefully checked the document and his expression became increasingly serious.
He discovered that some of the content in the document were indeed mistakes Xue Han had made in the past, but some of the content had been maliciously tampered with and was not true at all.
"Comrade Lin Wan, you are the one who tampered with these contents, right?" the director of the subdistrict office asked sternly.
Lin Wan's face turned pale, and she stammered, "I...I didn't..."
"You still want to quibble?" The director of the subdistrict office sneered, "I have asked someone to verify it. These contents have indeed been tampered with. Comrade Lin Wan, your behavior has violated the law and you must bear legal responsibility!"
Lin Wan was completely panicked. She didn't expect things to turn out like this.
She originally thought that as long as she got this document, she could threaten Xue Han and Xu Yao to break up, but she never expected that the director of the street office would be so fair and would actually investigate the authenticity of the document.
"Director, I... I know I was wrong. Please, let me go!" Lin Wan knelt on the ground, crying and begging.
"You know you're wrong now? It's too late!" The director of the subdistrict office said coldly, "I have decided to report this matter to the higher authorities for handling!"
Just when they thought things were turning around, the director of the subdistrict office's phone suddenly rang. He picked up the phone and his face turned pale instantly...
The street office director's phone suddenly rang. He picked up the phone and his face turned pale instantly.
At this moment, there was a sudden burst of noisy footsteps and voices outside the door, which seemed particularly harsh.
Xu Yao and Xue Han looked at each other, their hearts tightened, and an ominous premonition suddenly shrouded them.
The door was pushed open suddenly, and a tall and fierce man and a gloomy old woman walked in. They were Sun Zhiqiang and his mother.
Sun Zhiqiang's eyes swept coldly over everyone present, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth, as if he had already made up his mind.
Mother Sun's face was filled with resentment, her eyes were as sharp as a knife, and she stared straight at Xu Yao, as if she wanted to eat her alive.
"Haha, old director, what are you doing? We heard that there were some unpleasant things happening here, so we came over to take a look." Sun Zhiqiang's tone was mocking, his eyes moving back and forth between Lin Wan and the director of the street office, and the sneer at the corner of his mouth became more and more obvious.
The director of the subdistrict office looked even uglier, and the documents in his hands trembled slightly, as if he felt the coming storm.
Xu Yao held Xue Han's hand tightly and made a secret decision in her heart: no matter what happened next, she would not back down.
However, at this moment, Sun Zhiqiang suddenly stepped forward and shouted, "Old Director, you are not going to let Lin Wan go, are you? This is..."
