Xie Dapeng felt a heat in his groin, and a strong smell of urine instantly filled the air.
Lu Jingzhi gritted his teeth, pulled out his wood-chopping knife, and fixed Huang Baohua with bloodshot eyes that were like the sharp edge of a blade.
He then raised the machete in his hand and flung it away, sending it flying towards Huang Baohua.
Huang Baohua's pupils contracted sharply. A wood-chopping knife rapidly enlarged in her pupils, creating a gust of wind as it flew past her scalp with a whoosh and struck the dense, sturdy bamboo fence behind her.
Then, with a clang, it landed on the hard ground.
Terrified, her legs went weak, and she knelt down face down.
The onlookers instinctively took a big step back.
She looked at Lü Jingzhi with a terrified expression.
The air froze for two seconds.
"Ah... ahh... ahh..."
"Murder! Ahhh, this old woman has gone mad, she's going to kill someone!"
"Quickly, arrest her!"
Xie Liping shouted as she backed away.
But when people around her heard her shouts, they took a big step back.
"I'm telling you, I'm telling you, murder is illegal."
"There are so many people watching. If you kill me, you won't be able to escape."
Huang Baohua stammered, her face filled with terror, as she spoke to Lü Jingzhi.
Lu Jingzhi slowly approached her, "Murder is a crime, but is it not a crime to spread rumors and slander someone's innocence without cause?"
"You're distorting the truth and slandering people's reputations. Aren't you breaking the law?"
When Huang Baohua saw that Lü Jingzhi was no longer armed and that there were many people around, her fear was instantly reduced by 50%.
"I'm not wrong."
"On the 27th of last month, wasn't the woman who went into the woods with my son-in-law Zhong Linfang?"
"You dare say that the person who was caught by that security team wasn't your granddaughter!"
As Huang Baohua finished speaking, the eyes of the surrounding onlookers were fixed on Lü Jingzhi.
"What's wrong? You have nothing to say..."
"I'll teach you to spew filth from your mouth!"
The thin old lady was quick-witted and grabbed Huang Baohua's hair, pulling it forcefully.
Huang Baohua screamed, her head being pulled back slightly, facing Lü Jingzhi.
"Only your blind bastard would be interested in that inhuman beast. You two are a perfect example of birds of a feather flocking together."
"Those convicts, target practice addicts, bullet-snatchers, filthy scoundrels, they deserve to be killed a thousand times!"
"Only you guys would treat it like a treasure."
"The police have already solved the case, and that short-lived bastard is already in jail. How dare you come to my house and make a scene?"
"I haven't even gone looking for trouble with you yet, and you've come looking for it on your own."
“It was your house that brought that scoundrel to our Peach Blossom Town. Since you brought that scoundrel here, you should lock him up at home and make him look good.”
"If it can't be released, it will harm others."
Lu Jingzhi glanced at the crowd of onlookers, his words carrying a hidden meaning, "If it weren't for the security team members passing by that day, my Linfang might have really been harmed by that beast."
"Luckily, the security team arrived in time. Thank goodness!"
"This old woman wants to thank the security team for saving my Linfang, and also thank the police for standing up for us and punishing the bad guys!"
Seeing that her parents had been taken advantage of by that old woman, Xie Junhong hid behind others and started shouting.
"You old hag, don't make yourself sound so wronged."
"Which of those well-behaved girls doesn't stay at home obediently?"
"Given her flirtatious and provocative behavior, how could she possibly be a decent girl?"
Despite the pain in her scalp, Huang Baohua said, "My friend Hongjun is right. Your own best friend doesn't know how to cherish herself and has even harmed my daughter and son-in-law. You are the ones who are truly..."
"Ah~ Let go of me, let go..."
Hearing the foul language outside, Zhong Linfang, who was inside the room, could no longer bear it and pushed the door open with a bang.
"You're lying, you're lying, it's not like that."
"I don't know him at all, I didn't provoke him, he's the one who's been harassing me for no reason!"
Xie Liping stared at Zhong Linfang with a sinister look in her eyes, "If you were an honest and upright person, would he do this to you?"
"Then why didn't he look for someone else, but instead came to you?"
"What are you glaring at me for? You hurt my sister and brother-in-law, and you're still complaining?"
After Xie Liping finished speaking, she nervously hid behind the crowd.
The onlookers, not wanting to miss out on the drama, remarked, "I think the girl is right; it takes two to tango."
"Maybe it really is because her behavior was somewhat inappropriate..."
"Yeah, otherwise why would they choose her over anyone else? She seems like an honest and upright person, I never expected this."
"Truly, one can know a person's face and heart."
"You people from your area might not know, but that old woman is no good person. She's a heartless bastard. Her two sons don't even acknowledge her. She drove her husband to his death and killed her daughter. What good could someone raised like that be?"
"Really? Wow, there are people like this in the world? They weren't taken away by God?"
Some men with ill intentions were even lewdly looking Zhong Linfang up and down.
"I must say, this Zhong family girl really has the looks. Look at that pretty face, that figure, tsk tsk tsk~"
"No wonder that guy from the city... even I... surrendered..."
Zhong Linfang stood there awkwardly, feeling utterly ashamed by the strange looks and whispers around her.
With tears in her eyes, she roared in humiliation, "I didn't! I didn't!"
"In the name of a Party member, I swear to the organization and the Party with my faith and with everything I have that I have never done anything that violates morality or ethics, nor have I done anything that would cause any misunderstanding!"
"I am innocent!"
"I am innocent, I am a bad person, I am a bad person..."
Lu Jingzhi shielded Zhong Linfang behind him.
"The police have already closed the case and arrested the bad guy, so what do you mean by coming to my house to cause trouble?"
"Do you have objections to the state's verdict against the organization?"
"You disagree with the police's verdict, and you suspect they were biased in their investigation?"
"I didn't. Don't try to pin this on us. Can you honestly say that Zhong Linfang is completely without fault?"
"They were both committing immoral acts together, so why is she completely unscathed?"
"What did I, Liyun, do wrong? Why did I have to be transferred to that godforsaken place to suffer instead of running the company properly?"
"Waaaaah, God is so unfair!"
"My poor Liyun~"
"A perfectly good marriage, ruined by the son-in-law meeting the wrong person."
"You've ruined the work of my Red Army! You've harmed my whole family!"
Seeing that she couldn't win an argument with Lü Jingzhi, Huang Baohua changed tactics and started slapping her thighs and crying pitifully.
