Chapter 344 No Truth
"If you don't want others to know, then don't do it yourself!"
Yun Qingqing looked at the Zhao family coldly.
"Didn't you notice that the child hid something after running back home yesterday?"
The family members seemed to recall something and their faces froze.
"It seems you really did find out." Yun Qingqing said, "When her family found the little girl, she was already unconscious, so her family has never been able to find the real culprit."
"However, the longevity locket that the little girl had worn since she was born is missing. Her nickname was engraved on it. Can you guess where it is now?"
The Zhao family members' faces changed drastically, and they exchanged panicked glances with each other. The old woman secretly pushed the old man, and he turned around and tried to walk out of the crowd while muttering to himself.
"I've always said that it's just a child being naughty, nothing serious. I suddenly remembered that I had an appointment to play chess with Lao Wang today, so I don't have time to deal with these trivial matters. You guys can do whatever you want, but don't drag me along!"
Old man Zhao was about to squeeze out while muttering, but was stopped by many onlookers.
"Hey, you can't leave. Why didn't you leave earlier or later? As soon as people said that the longevity lock was hidden by your bastard grandson, you were in a hurry to leave?"
"It's obvious that he's guilty and wants to go back and sell the stolen goods!"
"We can't let him go! No one in this family can leave. We have to get to the bottom of this first!"
Old man Zhao was frightened by the indignant crowd and retreated again.
The old woman saw it and immediately said angrily: "Useless thing!"
She covered her chest with her hands, lay down on the ground and started howling "Ouch, ouch".
"Oh my! I can't take it anymore. My eldest grandson is dying, and I, an old woman, will be too heartbroken to live! Hurry up and carry me to the clinic! If anyone stands in my way, it will be their fault if anything happens to me! Even if I become a ghost, I won't let them go!"
"Son, remember this: if I die here, this person will be the murderer. You must seek justice for me!"
When she shouted, everyone was startled and many of them stepped back, fearing that they would be blackmailed by the old woman.
The dark and thin man immediately shouted:
"Don't be afraid, mother. I'll carry you to the doctor right now. Anyone who dares to stop me will kill you!"
As he said this, he was about to carry Old Mrs. Zhao on his back. The onlookers saw that this family was acting like scoundrels, but they didn't dare to go forward. They were all angry and helpless.
At this moment, Yun Qingqing said:
"It's too late for you to go back and sell the stolen goods now. The longevity lock is not the only evidence!"
"The injured little girl had been unconscious. Her family found a button in her clenched hand. They didn't know whose it belonged to, but the little girl woke up not long ago!"
When the Zhao family heard this, they panicked again.
Old man Zhao pulled the old lady over and whispered:
"Hurry up and carry your grandson together and leave first!"
The old lady no longer needed to carry her grandson, and immediately went with the old man, her son, and her daughter-in-law to lift the heavy six-year-old grandson.
However, before they could lift their grandson, there was another commotion in the crowd and a group of people squeezed in.
One of the men was holding a little girl who was about five or six years old. Almost half of the girl's head was wrapped in gauze, and blood was still oozing from her eyes. It was heartbreaking to see.
The woman next to him saw the Zhao family and immediately pointed at them and screamed:
"That brat of yours is completely heartless! He stole my Zhenzhen's things and beat her up like this! Zhenzhen was in a coma for a whole day and night before she woke up. The doctor said she was almost beyond saving and her eyesight would be difficult to cure!"
"If Zhenzhen hadn't woken up, we wouldn't have known until now that it was your little bastard Zhao Baozhu again! Your Zhao family must give an explanation!"
While the woman was speaking, another ten or so people stood beside her, confronting the Zhao family aggressively and accusing them of:
"That little bastard loves to bully people all the time. Not only does your family not care, they even help him. Now it's even gotten to the point of robbing and injuring people!"
"I've never seen anything like this before. Ever since your Zhao family moved in, the whole street and the neighbors have had no peace!"
"Don't worry, Madam Liu! If they dare to deny it, just report it to the police. All our neighbors will serve as witnesses for you!"
The Zhao family was shocked by this scene. Old Mrs. Zhao hesitated and rolled her eyes. Suddenly, with a pitiful look on her face, she shouted in a hoarse voice:
"Just kids fighting, why do you say it's only one side's fault? Look, my grandson is in this state! Your Zhenzhen is at least awake, but my grandson is still in a coma!"
The newcomers then noticed the little bully lying on the ground. They were startled by the shocking injuries on his face and looked at each other in confusion.
But the girl Zhenzhen's mother was the first to react and said sternly:
"Yesterday, Zhenzhen didn't come home on time. When we were anxiously looking for her everywhere, we saw this little brat jumping into your house! His injury has nothing to do with our Zhenzhen! I'm afraid even God couldn't stand this little brat's evil deeds and he got his retribution!"
"You!" Old Mrs. Zhao's face flushed.
But before she could come up with any other excuses, the other passers-by who had been watching the whole process could no longer bear it.
"Come on, old lady! You just said with your own mouth that your grandson fell down like this at home because he lost his mind! And now you turn around and try to push the victim onto the little girl. How dare you be so shameless?"
"This family is truly bizarre! I've never seen anyone so fabricate and blame others so much!"
"If you ask me, that divine beast is truly fair. This little bully bullied someone, so he couldn't sleep well at night. He smashed a little girl's eye, and the next day he broke his own eye like this! This is clearly retribution in this life, and it's really satisfying!"
"How dare this man from this family bring a talisman to cause trouble for Tianming Pavilion? I think what he said earlier about being harassed by bad neighbors is not true, right?"
"Don't doubt it. They've never told the truth in their life. If you ask me, all those stories about falling and spraining their ankles, cutting their hands while cutting vegetables, taking the wrong medicine, and being hit by a carriage might just be retribution!"
"Haha, he thought the divine beast talisman could help him harm others and take revenge on his neighbors, but he didn't know the divine beast only dealt with the evil people in his family!"
Those who were confronting the Zhao family were all neighbors living on the same street. Listening to the chatter of people around them, they suddenly understood something and glared at the Zhao family.
"Bad neighbor harassment? What do you mean?"
"It's you, Zhao Tiegen, who borrowed money everywhere but never paid it back. Every time I ask you for money, you act broke and miserable! And you still have the nerve to say we're harassing you?"
"You never properly dispose of your swill chamber pots. You spill them everywhere, often creating a foul smell that requires others to clean up. Your neighbors have to come to your house together to argue with you. Is this considered a nuisance?"
"Ever since your Zhao family moved to this street, we haven't had a single day of peace. It's bad enough that you haven't shown any remorse, but you actually hold a grudge and come to the Tianming Pavilion to ask for a talisman to retaliate against us?"
