Just then, Zhou Yunpeng was sitting around a table with a group of so-called cronies, drinking and making merry. After a few rounds of drinks, the man with dyed blond hair sitting next to Zhou Yunpeng suddenly spoke up: "Hey, did you guys know? Meng Ziyun's woman is back!"
Upon hearing this, everyone stopped what they were doing and turned to look at the blond-haired man who had spoken. They all asked in unison, "When did she come back? Did she come back to see her dad? Even if she did come back, so what? This woman's reputation is already ruined!" It turned out that this group of people were the same guys who usually spread bad rumors about Meng Ziyun.
Zhou Yunpeng had actually heard the news beforehand. During lunch at home, his family told him that Meng Ziyun had not only brought home a new boyfriend, but had also returned home in a luxury car worth 15 million yuan. There were even rumors that she planned to hire a lawyer to sue Zhou Yunpeng upon her return.
Zhou Yunpeng initially appeared nonchalant and dismissive about being sued. However, when he heard about the astonishingly expensive 15 million yuan luxury car, his heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly felt a bit intimidated. After all, such a wealthy and powerful person was not someone he dared to easily offend!
At this moment, the blond-haired guy who had been staring at Zhou Yunpeng seemed to notice his strange behavior and deliberately provoked him with his words: "Hey, Zhou Yunpeng, are you really scared? As soon as you hear that someone is going to sue you, you don't even dare to fart?"
Now, that blond-haired guy was no good to begin with, and he was exceptionally wicked among this group. Especially after hearing that Meng Zhiyun had brought home a wealthy boyfriend, he hatched a plan to make a fortune. So, he devised a scheme to take advantage of Zhou Yunpeng, a simple-minded man.
The blond-haired man, with his silver tongue, began to instigate Zhou Yunpeng, constantly feeding him all sorts of fallacies and heresies, urging him to cause trouble at Meng Zhiyun's house, and promising him a fortune afterward. However, the blond-haired man himself was a coward, not daring to show up in person, only daring to hide behind the scenes, fanning the flames and adding fuel to the fire.
Poor Zhou Yunpeng, already an extremely foolish fellow, was further clouded by alcohol, making his mind even more muddled. Meanwhile, the surrounding crowd kept fanning the flames, uttering sarcastic remarks, causing Zhou Yunpeng to lose his temper even more. And so, in his dazed state, Zhou Yunpeng led a group of people menacingly straight towards Meng Zhiyun's house.
Meanwhile, after purchasing their new car, Wang Hu and Attorney Liu sped towards Shihezi Village. Upon arriving at Meng Zhiyun's house, they were astonished by what they saw: two groups of people were locked in a tense standoff! Among them, the drunken Zhou Yunpeng stood out and was immediately recognized by the sharp-eyed Wang Hu.
The other group consisted of the kind and simple villagers. Seeing this, Wang Hu was extremely anxious and quickly jumped out of the car to try and mediate. As for the lawyer, he didn't get out of the car but instead stood a short distance away, silently filming the scene with a video camera.
Wang Hu walked up to Zhou Yunpeng. Although he was burning with anger, he couldn't just attack in broad daylight, especially in front of so many villagers. If a brawl broke out and innocent bystanders got hurt, it would be a real problem.
Wang Hu stood in front of Zhou Yunpeng, his eyes piercing. He took a deep breath and said calmly, "Tell me what you want. Tell me, what exactly do you want?"
Facing Wang Hu, Zhou Yunpeng couldn't help but feel a little intimidated, after all, the other man was wealthy and powerful. But the blond-haired guy behind him secretly nudged his waist, giving him some courage. Zhou Yunpeng mustered his courage and said, "What do we want to do? Make the Meng family pay us money! They broke off the engagement, so they have to compensate us for our losses."
Upon hearing this, Wang Hu was furious but laughed. He rolled up his sleeves, took a step forward, but then forcibly suppressed his impulse. He raised his arm and sneered, "Zhou Yunpeng, you still dare to ask for compensation? You're an alcoholic, gambler, and you beat up Xiao Meng. It's only natural that she doesn't want to marry you. Besides, the bride price has already been returned in full. What more money do you want to pay?"
“The bride price wasn’t returned to me,” Zhou Yunpeng argued.
"That's a question for you to answer. You're drowning in gambling debts, and getting your assets taken away is your own fault," Wang Hu said sarcastically. "Besides, someone like you will probably never get married in your entire life."
Zhou Yunpeng's face changed after being provoked by these words. He said angrily, "Anyway, if you don't pay me back today, I'll smash your car."
Wang Hu was waiting for these words. He knew the car was worth 15 million yuan, and damaging it would be enough to make Zhou Yunpeng regret it. He provocatively said, "If you've got the guts, go ahead and smash it. But I think you're a coward too."
This truly enraged Zhou Yunpeng. He grabbed a brick and smashed it against Wang Hu's car. Seeing this, his cronies joined in, grabbing whatever they could and throwing things. Only the blond-haired guy was cunning; sensing the danger, he secretly slipped away.
Seeing that they had smashed enough, Wang Hu rushed forward, kicked them to the ground, and then quickly pulled out his phone to call the police. At this moment, Principal Zhang, leading several people wearing administrative jackets, walked over from the back of the crowd.
Principal Zhang glanced at the people rolling on the ground without even lifting his eyelids. He pointed to the person walking at the front and introduced him to Wang Hu, saying, "This is Mayor Wang from our township. If I hadn't reported your donation of 1 million yuan, Mayor Wang would have insisted on coming to see you."
Upon hearing that it was the town mayor, Wang Hu quickly went up to shake hands: "Hello, leader!" Then he glanced at the people lying on the ground and said with a smile: "Leaders, this is not the place to chat. Come on, let's go to my father-in-law's house for a visit!"
Mayor Wang waved his hand and said, "It's nothing serious. I just came to see what our town's son-in-law, this great guy who donated money to the school, looks like. I didn't expect to run into this as soon as I arrived. Don't worry, Mr. Wang, I will definitely give you an explanation."
Mayor Wang turned around and said to someone behind him, "Director Liu, this kind of black sheep must be dealt with severely. We can't let a fly ruin our harmonious environment."
Upon hearing this, Director Liu immediately patted his chest and assured him, "Don't worry, Mayor Wang, I will definitely punish him severely!"
Mayor Wang hadn't actually come specifically to see Wang Hu; they were just conducting a routine patrol, which is why they brought police officers and urban management personnel. Director Liu waved his hand, and immediately plainclothes officers rushed forward and subdued the group.
Mayor Wang chatted with Wang Hu for a few minutes before preparing to say goodbye. Wang Hu tried to persuade him to stay a few more times, then saw Mayor Wang and the other leaders off.
