Shen Ling pushed her way through the crowd to the Xie family's gate and peered into the courtyard.
They saw Luo Mao cornered, beaten black and blue, looking utterly miserable.
Under the moonlight, her two pale, white thighs twitched.
It looks just like a fat pig that has just been plucked and is about to be slaughtered.
The neighbors looked at him with extreme disgust and began to criticize him.
"This Luo Mao was penniless and incompetent when he got married. He didn't even have a place to stay in the capital. He was not worthy of You Ran at all."
"If he hadn't kept saying he would treat You Ran well, the Xie family would never have agreed to this marriage. I never expected that he, who pretended to be so virtuous on the surface, would actually be such a beast in private."
The police arrived quickly, and Shen Zhihuan and Zhao Haiyin helped Xie Youran out.
Although she had been forcibly woken up, Xie Youran's face was still pale, and her condition was clearly very wrong.
In order to leave Luo Mao no chance to make excuses, they planned to go to the hospital immediately for blood tests and evidence collection.
During the police investigation, neighbors also stood up to defend the two Xie girls.
“A man like Luo Mao, who both drugged his wife and tried to defile an innocent girl, would only be a troublemaker in society.”
"Officers, you must combine these two cases and handle them together. Punish this beast severely. He committed such a serious crime of hooliganism that even being dragged to the execution ground and shot right now would not be an exaggeration!"
Guo Bin and Yi Chunlan were in charge of handling the case. As they handcuffed Luo Mao and prepared to escort him away, they also calmed down the surrounding crowd.
"Please calm down, everyone. Trust us, the police will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly and will not tolerate it."
"If all of Luo Mao's crimes are true, he will definitely face imprisonment."
The neighbors calmed down a bit after hearing this, but Shen Ling, who was eavesdropping nearby, was instantly dumbfounded.
No, things shouldn't be going to develop this way.
In her previous life, when Luo Mao sneaked into her room in the middle of the night, he bullied her so badly that she almost couldn't escape.
Now that it's Shen Zhihuan, why is it that she can turn the situation around so easily?
Could it be that she's using some kind of cheat code?
Or perhaps... Shen Zhihuan in her previous life actually knew all along that she was being bullied by Luo Mao, her nominal brother-in-law?
Isn't Shen Zhihuan very capable?
Why didn't you stand up for her, your older sister, in that situation?
The thought that Shen Ling might be deliberately trying to frame her made her so angry that she almost lost her balance.
That bitch.
Even knowing how much she suffered in her past life!
She actually dared not help her and even stood by and watched coldly.
Xie Youran is nothing but an unwanted money-loser.
Shen Zhihuan would rather save her than save her own sister; she's utterly heartless!
Shen Ling suddenly felt that all the suffering she had endured was caused by Shen Zhihuan.
She was furious and wanted to confront them.
However, the neighbors who came to watch the spectacle blocked their way completely, making it impossible for them to pass.
"Make way, all of you, get out of my way and let me through!"
No matter how loudly Shen Ling shouted, no one around her paid any attention to her.
When she finally managed to squeeze to the Xie family's gate, Shen Zhihuan and the others had already gotten into the police car, surrounded by neighbors.
The police car, sirens blaring, sped away from the courtyard.
The neighbors discussed what had just happened, and then dispersed in twos and threes.
The Xie family compound, which was bustling with activity just moments ago, is now completely empty.
The neighbor who had been asked to help lock the gate came over, glanced at Shen Ling who was still standing there in a daze, and went home without saying anything.
The night wind blew in from the alley, ruffling Shen Ling's hair and clothes, and chilling her to the bone.
It's too late to say anything now. Shen Zhihuan is too busy to argue with her about these trivial matters.
With nowhere else to go, Shen Ling could only return to the Gu family dejectedly.
Since she married into the family, Wang Yulian never thought of giving her a house key.
If they wanted to get in, they would naturally have to knock on the door and wake everyone up.
Wang Yulian and Gu Yuchuan were fast asleep, completely unaware of what had happened at the Xie family's residence.
They were both furious to be woken up in the middle of the night, and when they saw Shen Ling return without saying a word, as if she had lost her soul, they became even angrier.
Gu Yuchuan was about to make a sarcastic remark when Wang Yulian suddenly grabbed his wrist and pulled him aside to whisper something.
"This Shen Ling, she hasn't been back for several days, has she? Look how dirty she is, and how guilty she looks, could it be that..."
Gu Yuchuan was stunned for a moment, then instantly realized what was happening.
"Mom, are you suspecting that Shen Ling's disappearance these past two days is because someone...?"
"Sigh, although we shouldn't say these things carelessly, just guessing is too easy to cause misunderstandings, but I'm doing this for your own good. If Shen Ling really causes trouble outside, wouldn't our Gu family lose all face?"
No man can tolerate the humiliation of being cuckolded, and Gu Yuchuan's expression changed instantly.
He grabbed Shen Ling and began to interrogate her indirectly, asking all sorts of questions.
“Tell me honestly, where have you been these past few days, and who have you met? In particular, tell me what kind of men you’ve been in contact with.”
Wang Yulian, however, took the opportunity to inquire about Shen Ling's pregnancy.
"Look at you, it's one thing to run around outside all day, but what if you get involved with my grandson?"
"Have you been eating well and sleeping well these past few days? Have you been getting enough nutrition? Has the child been fussy or upset?"
This mother and son, she's been missing for several days, and they don't care about her safety at all.
Instead, one accused her of having affairs, while the other only cared about the child in her womb.
If you didn't know better, you'd think she was some kind of stud!
Shen Ling had just witnessed how much the Xie family doted on their daughter-in-law, Shen Zhihuan.
Comparing the two situations, I felt even more resentful.
Enraged, she stood up abruptly, overturned the table in front of her, and smashed everything she could lift to pieces.
"Who gave you permission to slander my reputation? I've been kidnapped these past two days, you know that?!"
"Not only do you not care about me, but you also dare to bully me like this! You're a bunch of animals! I'm going to go to the police and get justice for me!"
Shen Ling made a huge fuss, trying to attract the attention of the surrounding neighbors.
Before he could even shout a few words, Gu Yuchuan grabbed his collar and yanked him hard.
"Shut up!"
