Chapter 140
Although it was still quite early, there were many elderly people outside who went to bed early and got up early. Who doesn't want to watch the excitement? Especially the elderly people, who came out to seek justice, "My dear wife, this person shouldn't do this at such a young age. How could you do such a thing?"
"Exactly. I'd rather demolish ten temples than destroy a single relationship. And he's your friend."
"Oh, what's become of young people these days? They rely on their good looks to become shameless and do anything. They're so morally corrupt."
A group of old men and women pointed at Cui Hong, and her face turned red.
But Qin Baotian was telling the truth, so she couldn't find any reason to refute him.
She didn't dare say what she said to Qin Xiang, otherwise it would be the end of her.
"I didn't, don't talk nonsense." Cui Hong endured the pain and quickly got up, gritted her teeth and ran away. She really didn't check the almanac before going out today, how did she run into Qin Baotian?
After returning home to deal with the two elderly people at home, Cui Hong went out again on the pretext of taking care of the client's children.
Even though Cui Lianhua couldn't move half of her body, her heart was still as evil as ever. She said to Wang Dazhu, "I think there's something wrong with Cui Hong. Is she messing around outside?"
Although they despised Cui Hong and had been trying to prevent Wang Junsheng from divorcing her, they also felt that Cui Hong was their son's wife and therefore owed him the responsibility of remaining a wife. Furthermore, they still relied on Cui Hong's income for their livelihood. If she had an affair, would they ever be able to get the money back?
"What's wrong?" Wang Dazhuizi has been feeling uncomfortable ever since he came to the capital, especially since his daughter-in-law Cui Hong started hanging around him all day and speaking harshly. If he hadn't thought about the bad life in the countryside, he would have left Cui Lianhua long ago.
So Cui Hong would stay at the nanny's house from time to time, and Wang Dazhu felt more at ease. It was better not to be at home, as he and Cui Lianhua could have peace and quiet at home. So he said, "Okay, stop being suspicious. We still rely on her for money for food, drink, and toilet. She didn't have much shame before, but now there's nothing we can do. We have to win her over first, otherwise Junsheng's salary will never be enough for us."
Cui Lianhua felt suffocated when she thought of this. "I gave him so much money, but in the end he had no money left. It was all wasted."
The couple was so angry, but Cui Hong didn't care and went straight to the courtyard. When Sun Qiang came over later, Cui Hong rushed directly into Sun Qiang's arms, "Brother Qiang."
I felt so wronged that tears started to flow out.
Her face, with tears on it, was so pitiful. Sun Qiang had drunk a little bit of wine before coming here, so he couldn't stand such teasing. He immediately hugged her and kissed her.
What happened next happened naturally. Sun Qiang was also a capable man and came several times.
The two men were fighting fiercely when the courtyard door was suddenly kicked open. Before they could react, the door of the house was also kicked open. A gust of cold wind rushed into the house from the door, freezing the two people who were originally warm on the bed and shivering.
"ah!"
Cui Hong finally reacted and pulled the quilt over herself.
Sun Qiang trembled and reached out to touch his clothes, but the clothes had already been stepped on by a woman. "Hong Mei, let me explain..."
Bang!
A slap landed directly on Sun Qiang's face.
Hong Mei gnashed her teeth, looking at the adulterous couple on the bed, "What else do you want to explain to me? Explain why you are cheating on me here?"
Then he pointed at Cui Hong who was hiding under the quilt and said sternly, "You shameless little whore, I've known for a long time that you're not a good person, with your foxy face. I thought you were introduced by an acquaintance and should be no bad person, but I didn't expect that you would steal someone from me."
"Hong Mei... I was wrong." Sun Qiang lost all his bossy aura. He knew everything he had came from the Hong family. Without Hong Mei's father's support, a poor kid like him would be nothing. Even if he claimed to be a big boss, everyone knew it all came from his father-in-law.
"Get out of here." Hong Mei pushed him away without hesitation. "Fight me. Just leave a breath."
As they were talking, three men and three women came in from outside. The men were all strong and muscular, and the women were all healthy and strong. The six of them entered the room. Without saying anything else, the men beat Sun Qiang, and the women pulled the quilt, then reached out and grabbed Cui Hong's hair, dragged her out of the quilt and threw her to the ground.
It was cold even with clothes on, let alone being naked. She was shivering from the cold, and her delicate skin was exposed, feeling cold and painful. Cui Hong couldn't help but think of the Chinese New Year. Why was she so unlucky?
Hong Mei moved a stool and said, "Fight."
The three women were unequivocal. At Hong Mei's command, two women grabbed Cui Hong to prevent her from moving, while the other woman grabbed her hair and slapped her directly in the face. Cui Hong's face was burning, and she didn't care about the embarrassment at this moment. She begged, "Please stop hitting me, I was wrong, I won't do it again, please. Please."
Not to mention Cui Hong pleading, even Sun Qiang was begging desperately.
But there was no other sound in the house except the sounds of slapping and crying.
The noise was so loud that people outside couldn't help but hear it. For example, the old man and woman next door didn't dare to hear it because they knew about it. After seeing Hong Mei and a group of people rushing in aggressively, they went home and closed the door.
Anyone who dares to get involved in this kind of thing will die.
But other people didn't have such worries. Even those passing by came in, thinking that there were bad guys. How could that be? The people of the capital hated bad guys the most. If there were bad guys, they would be taken to the police station. To uphold justice, it took people from the capital.
However, after they went in and listened, it seemed that was not the case.
It seems to be a case of catching someone cheating.
You deserve it.
A curious old lady opened the window and took a look. Then she covered her eyes and said, "Stop looking. Let's go."
The others asked what was going on, and the old lady's expression was hard to describe. "It's white, two people were caught in bed together, and they are being beaten. You old men are not allowed to watch it. Even if they were caught in bed, it's not allowed. This is a moral issue."
Now I feel really embarrassed to watch the fun.
Although I really want to watch it, we are all civilized people.
Some people also felt that it was not good, "It would not be good if it was broken, let's report it to the police."
Someone actually reported it to the police.
The onlookers heard the noise inside become quieter and only heard crying, and thought that it was almost over.
Sure enough, I saw a woman leading six people away.
The door was not closed and there were cries of grief coming from the house.
The onlookers were pointing and talking in the courtyard when suddenly someone shouted, "Hey, the police are here!"
Four or five police officers in uniform quickly approached and said, "Move aside, don't delay our work."
Several women were surprised and said, "You came too late. The people who beat her have left. But I heard it was the man's wife, so she deserved the beating."
"That's right, men and women like this should be shot."
The public security officers frowned as they listened. They had no idea about any assault; they had come because they had learned of smuggling. "Let's go in and take a look first."
Behind the crowd, Zhao Ping originally wanted to leave, but when he saw the police coming, he shrank back.
This is the advantage of having an ordinary face. Zhao Ping has an ordinary appearance and is not easy to be discovered even in a crowd. Now it is dark, making it even harder for him to be discovered.
There were panicked sounds from inside, and soon several police officers came out of the yard with a man and a woman.
Someone with sharp eyes shouted, "Hey, why is the person who got beaten handcuffed?"
Of course, the public security comrades would not give them any explanation and directly took the person to the police station.
The excitement was over, and everyone gradually dispersed as they speculated about what had just happened.
Zhao Ping also went back with the crowd.
But the more he thought about it, the more thankful he felt. Fortunately, he had told Mr. Meng about this. It seemed that he was right. Their boss and Mr. Meng had a special relationship. Mr. Meng's actions not only resulted in the two being beaten, but also directly sent to the police station.
Zhao Ping thought about it and decided that he should tell his boss about this matter in advance, so he left without even eating.
Zhao Ping was quite familiar with Qin Xiang's whereabouts and waited directly downstairs in the dormitory. When Guan Yuping and the others saw Zhao Ping, they didn't think much of it. Knowing that he was Qin Xiang's employee, they thought he had something to do with Qin Xiang and went upstairs first.
Qin Xiang knew something was going to happen when he saw him coming. When they both reached the side, they asked, "Is it done?"
"Cui Hong and Sun Qiang were just taken away by the police." Although Zhao Ping told Meng Huaiqing about the incident, he didn't just let it go. Instead, he assisted Assistant Liu and learned a lot. Assistant Liu was a dozen years older than him, but he was really good at his job. He explained to Qin Xiang, "After I told Mr. Meng that time, I assisted Assistant Liu. Later, you said Cui Hong wanted to persuade you to buy a TV. Assistant Liu knew something was wrong, so he followed this clue all the way to Pengcheng. It turned out that someone had smuggled a batch of TVs from Gangcheng, more than 500 sets. This is a big smuggling case."
Qin Xiang was also shocked when she heard this. Five hundred sets! And they were color TVs, too. The retail price of one set was over five hundred yuan. Even if the purchase price was cheap, it would still be a lot of money at over three hundred yuan.
She couldn't help but sneer. Cui Hong really thought highly of her. She came to her for such a big deal. She really wanted to kill her in one go. Not only did she want to drag her down with her, she also wanted to make her lose both her money and her life. What a calculating person.
Zhao Ping continued, "Before they were arrested, Sun Qiang's wife brought a few people over and beat them up. When Cui Hong was taken away, she was dragged into the police car. Although I didn't see the specifics of the beating, it sounded like it was quite severe."
"That's what she deserves." Qin Xiang felt that if Cui Hong was finished, it would be too easy for Wang Junsheng. Wang Junsheng probably wanted to get rid of Cui Hong too.
It's a pity that things have developed to this stage. If Cui Hong had not participated in smuggling, it would have been fine. But if she had, she would probably have to work on a sewing machine.
To be honest, she would rather Cui Hong and Wang Junsheng were out there loving and hating each other. That would be so interesting.
After briefly explaining the matter, Zhao Ping went back.
Qin Xiang was thinking about this problem after returning. The more he thought about it, the more regrettable he felt. He could only hope that Cui Hong did not get involved.
But even if the two were caught, Qin Xiang had no time to go to the store because the exam week was about to begin.
It was obvious to the naked eye that there were fewer people on the streets, and the newly opened library was packed with people. Qin Xiang and his friends went there twice while it was still popular, but then gave up. They would rather go to the old library and use the worn-out tables and chairs than go to the new library to grab seats.
When Cui Hong didn't come home for several days, Wang Junsheng was busy with his internship for the next semester at school. When he returned, he heard Wang Dazhu say, "Cui Hong hasn't come back for several days."
Wang Junsheng was a little impatient. "Maybe he's at someone else's house taking care of the kids and doesn't have time to come back."
Although Cui Hong was quite sexy in bed and served him very comfortably, whenever he got out of bed and pulled up his pants, he would think of the humiliation Cui Hong brought him. If it weren't for Cui Hong, he wouldn't be able to divorce Qin Xiang, and he wouldn't be as miserable as he is now. It's better for her not to come back, out of sight, out of mind.
In other words, Wang Junsheng doesn’t care whether Cui Hong goes back or not.
Wang Dazhu was a little unhappy when he heard this. "After all, she is your wife now. You can't get rid of her. Besides, she can earn a salary now."
"I see."
Wang Dazhu added, "Your mother and I haven't eaten for two days. Look..."
Okay, Wang Junsheng got it. This wasn't about caring about Cui Hong, but about hoping that Cui Hong would come back to buy him food. Wang Junsheng was a little unhappy. "Back home, I have land, food, and drink, but you insist on coming to the capital. I only get such a small subsidy every month, which is not enough for me to spend. Where can I get the money?"
Wang Junsheng became a little irritable as he said this. "Cui Hong can earn a salary but she hasn't come back yet, so why don't you go out and look for her? Telling me will be of any use. I don't know where she works as a nanny, and she's asking me for money. Do I have money? I've been humiliating myself for my internship and can't even afford a meal. Who can I talk to?"
After holding back his anger for so many days, Wang Junsheng finally couldn't help but explode.
Because of Cui Hong's incident, the good reputation he had built up at school was gone. Huang Yuqin also spread the news of Cui Hong's immoral behavior in the summer, and his popularity was even worse. Everyone he knew would point fingers at him or discuss his character behind his back. If he hadn't pretended to be thick-skinned and managed to hold on for this final year, he really wouldn't have been able to make it.
He wanted to stay in the capital, but no one could help him. Even if he wanted to go back to the provincial capital, no one helped him.
Wang Junsheng has lost all his good temper as he is not treated as a human being outside and has to listen to these two old guys nagging for money when he gets home.
"Either you endure it, or you take my mother back to my hometown. I don't have any money." After saying that, Wang Junsheng left.
But he was also afraid that his parents would really starve to death, so he left two dollars before leaving. Maybe Cui Hong would be back in a few days and should have some money in her hands.
Qin Xiang was too busy reviewing to pay attention to Cui Hong's situation. However, Meng Huaiqing came over and told her, "The investigation has concluded that Sun Qiang was killed by the people led by his wife and can't get out. Cui Hong was not involved."
He paused, "Would you be disappointed?"
Qin Xiang smiled, "If I say I hope she doesn't get involved and comes out intact, do you believe me?"
Meng Huaiqing was stunned, "Why?"
He thought Qin Xiang would hope that Cui Hong would be arrested directly so that she wouldn't have to plot against him again. But Qin Xiang would rather the other party stay outside?
Seeing that he didn't understand, Qin Xiang reminded him, "Cui Hong is now nominally Wang Junsheng's wife. Although the two of them haven't been able to get a marriage certificate, Cui Hong firmly believes that Wang Junsheng is a potential stock and can lead her to a good life. So as long as she is out there, she will not give up Wang Junsheng."
There is no need to talk about the remaining Qin Xiang. Meng Huaiqing alone has met Wang Junsheng twice. Wang Junsheng obviously regretted his decision and even wanted to find Qin Xiang to rekindle their relationship when he had not yet made it clear with Cui Hong.
If Cui Hong went in and could never come out, the biggest beneficiary would not be Qin Xiang, but Wang Junsheng.
After this incident, Cui Hong probably wouldn't dare to provoke Qin Xiang anymore, after all, she had the upper hand over him. But she wouldn't give up on Wang Junsheng, so tying these two together would be the most advantageous situation for Qin Xiang.
Meng Huaiqing nodded in understanding, "I understand."
Qin Xiang laughed, "So I'm glad Cui Hong didn't get involved. But it won't be easy for her to survive in the capital in the future, right?"
"That's right." Because it involved Qin Xiang, Meng Huaiqing paid close attention to the matter. He not only investigated Sun Qiang, but also his father-in-law, the Hong family. The Hong family was not a family to be messed with. Hong Mei married Sun Qiang because Sun Qiang was good at talking. After a few interactions, the girl fell in love with him. However, the Hong family only had one daughter, so she married into the family. Sun Qiang relied on his father-in-law's family to grow and prosper. Now that he was secretly doing something illegal, his father-in-law's family would definitely abandon him.
As for Cui Hong, even if the Hong family would let her go, Hong Mei would not let her go.
Qin Xiang nodded and said, "That's good. I didn't expect that what was originally a contest between Cui Hong and me would indirectly help the people get rid of harm."
Meng Huaiqing praised, "Then you are really amazing."
Qin Xiang raised an eyebrow, "Boss Meng is really amazing."
"Then how do you plan to repay Boss Meng?"
At this time, the two were at the lakeside of Tsinghua University, the same lakeside, but in different positions. Qin Xiang was still at the lakeside, having rejected Jie Zong.
The lake was frozen and covered with a layer of snow. The branches not far away were covered with snow. The sky was blue and the scenery was beautiful.
Qin Xiang's mouth was dry, and she didn't dare to look at Meng Huaiqing's burning gaze. She chuckled, "Do you think this is asking for a favor?"
Meng Huaiqing curled his lips and smiled, his eyes shining brightly behind the gold-rimmed glasses. "If you think this will make you agree, then it's not impossible."
Qin Xiang chuckled, "You are so beautiful."
"Indeed." Meng Huaiqing didn't mention the matter of repaying him again. He just said, "Let's go and have a meal together, okay?"
Qin Xiang saw people looking over and asked, "What do you want to eat?"
Meng Huaiqing thought for a moment and asked, "Eat the food in your cafeteria?"
Qin Xiang shook her head. "That won't work. If you go in, I guess everyone will just stop eating and watch you eat instead."
In the end, the two did not go to the cafeteria, but went to a restaurant near the school. Qin Xiang had no problem eating at a roadside stall, but considering the young master's stomach, she finally gave up.
After ordering food at the state-owned restaurant, it was getting late, so Meng Huaiqing had to go back.
But he was a little reluctant.
Seeing that he was hesitant all night, Qin Xiang asked, "If you have something to say, just say it. You know, I hate people who dither."
Meng Huaiqing was helpless. "I have to go back to Hong Kong City. I'll come back after the New Year."
In the blink of an eye, it is already the beginning of the twelfth lunar month, and the Chinese New Year is not far away.
For the first time, Qin Xiang felt reluctant to leave.
