Cao Gang thought she had given in, and he was quite smug as he stood in the courtyard.
Thinking about it, Shu Hui's courtyard is quite nice. The artificial mountain brought from the south has a Jiangnan style, and the landscaping of the courtyard is well done, which shows that a lot of money was spent on the renovation.
Cao Gang could laugh in his dreams at the thought of moving in here soon.
Shu Hui came out of the house with her hands behind her back, walking as slowly as a tortoise, and it was unclear what she was doing.
Cao Gang impatiently unbuckled his belt. "Little wench, hurry up and serve your Uncle Cao. If you don't serve your Uncle Cao well today, see how your Uncle Cao deals with you."
Shu Hui, having been bullied to the extreme, raised her knife high and viciously lunged at Cao Gang.
Cao Gang wasn't drunk to begin with, but the glint of the blade terrified him so much he almost wet himself. He staggered back, barely managing to snatch the blade.
"You...you...you're insane!"
He never expected that the cowardly and timid Shu Hui would actually dare to do such a thing. Cao Gang was so frightened that his legs trembled, but Shu Hui went crazy and swung the knife at him again.
"You bastard! You bastard! I'll kill you!"
Shu Hui was really bad at cursing; she just kept repeating the same two sentences over and over. But her eyes were bloodshot, and her movements were frantic as she stabbed downwards again and again without the slightest hesitation.
This appearance still frightened Cao Gang.
"No, no, no! Calm down, I was just bluffing you. I didn't do anything. Killing me is against the law!"
Cao Gang frantically backed away, but he had left the door half-closed when he came in to do something bad. Now, in his frantic attempt, he couldn't get the door open no matter how many times he pulled. Cao Gang was so desperate he was about to wet himself. Shu Hui, a ruthless character, stabbed Cao Gang hard in the back.
That actually hit him.
Cao Gang let out a loud scream, so pitiful that Luo Kangcheng heard it as soon as he reached the alley entrance.
Last time Chu Yu told him that Shu Hui was being harassed, Luo Kangcheng had been wanting to take some time to come and check on her, to deter the culprit. However, he had been too busy with cases lately and hadn't had time to come. Today, he happened to get off work early, so he decided to stop by and take a look.
Unexpectedly, just as he arrived, he heard a scream. Luo Kangcheng knew something was wrong, spotted the door number, and kicked the door open.
Bang!
Cao Gang, who was leaning against the door, was kicked and fell backward.
He lay motionless with his eyes closed, as if dead. Shu Hui stared blankly at the knife in her hand, and after a long while, she murmured:
“I killed someone, I killed someone… I’m guilty of murder and should be executed. I’ll be a burden on my daughter.”
She seemed to be possessed, on the verge of a mental breakdown. Luo Kangcheng had a bad feeling. He glanced at Shu Hui's blade, knelt down on one knee, checked Cao Gang's breathing, and then turned Cao Gang over.
Cao Gang was wearing thick cotton clothes. Fortunately, his clothes were thick, and Shu Hui's knife was a bit dull. Shu Hui was also weak. Although the knife pierced Cao Gang's back, it only broke the skin and caused a little blood, but the wound was not deep.
Not fatal.
Luo Kangcheng breathed a sigh of relief. Even though he was the director of the Public Security Bureau, he couldn't possibly side with Shu Hui in this situation. Once a person reaches this point, there's nothing that can be done.
Fortunately, Shu Hui was lucky; Cao Gang only suffered minor injuries and was not seriously harmed.
As for why he fell to the ground, it was probably because Luo Kangcheng's kick caused the back of his head to hit the ground, and he was also frightened by Shu Hui, causing him to faint.
"His breathing is steady, it's nothing serious, you don't need to be nervous. This person isn't dead, you won't go to jail."
Luo Kangcheng was experienced in handling cases. This minor injury was caused by Cao Gang, and he was confident that he could intimidate Cao Gang with just a few words and prevent him from reporting the case to the police station.
Even if the case is reported, Cao Gang will not be favored in this matter, and Shu Hui will not be punished in any way.
Luo Kangcheng's words calmed Shu Hui down a bit, and she finally came out of that trance-like state. She had really been possessed just now. Cao Gang's lewd and mocking words had provoked her, and she really wanted to kill Cao Gang to end it all.
Luo Kangcheng, with his extensive experience in handling cases, asked, "Did he just say anything threatening?"
Shu Hui hesitated for a moment, but did not deny it: "He said that if I didn't give in to him, he would settle accounts with my daughter."
Children are a mother's Achilles' heel, no wonder even a gentle person like Shu Hui can lose her temper.
Luo Kangcheng's gaze turned cold. He kicked Cao Gang on the ground and said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, leave this man to me. He won't dare to do anything to you."
Half an hour later, Cao Gang woke up leisurely. He was still thinking that Shu Hui hadn't been willing to kill him, so there must be some feelings between them. But when he opened his eyes, he saw Luo Kangcheng's work ID.
The head of the branch public security bureau? In Beijing, that's no small position.
Shu Hui is a quiet person; how could she dare to call the police?
Cao Gang had committed many minor offenses, and he was most afraid of seeing the police. These days, there's no good thing about going to the police station; even if he had nothing to do with it, he could still cause trouble, let alone someone with a criminal record.
Cao Gang simply closed his eyes, trying to feign unconsciousness again. Luo Kangcheng smiled and casually stepped on Cao Gang's finger.
"Ouch!" Cao Gang nearly jumped up in pain.
"Oh, you're awake?" Luo Kangcheng smiled, then ground his leather shoe into Cao Gang's fingers without hesitation.
Cao Gang broke out in a cold sweat. His face was pale with pain as he begged for mercy, "Officer Luo, please have mercy on me! I didn't do anything wrong. Please be gentle, be gentle, or my fingers will break!"
"Didn't do anything? Cao Gang, Shu Hui told me everything about you. You've done a lot of things that harm respectable women. It just so happens that Beijing is cracking down on petty thieves and scoundrels. You're setting a good example. So, how about you come with me to the police station for a couple of days?" Luo Kangcheng said with a forced smile.
