Upon hearing that it even involved a death, the women's director was no longer in a hurry to go home.
This county town has always been peaceful and stable. If a woman or child were to lose their life in the streets under her jurisdiction, she, as the director, would not be able to escape unscathed.
There was no need for any well-meaning people to pull her forward; the women's director jogged all the way to Zhao Youcai's door.
Seeing the woman still wearing an apron, Zhao Youcai instantly understood what was going on.
"I'm really sorry to have bothered the director, but this is the first time I've ever been extorted by a female colleague."
Before Zhao Youcai could finish speaking, the man whose arm had been dislocated and was hanging limply suddenly raised his head, which was sweating profusely from the pain, and interrupted Zhao Youcai with a fierce voice.
"Shut up! You old bastard!"
Then she approached the women's director and said, "Director Wang, it's him! The scumbag who deceived young girls, got them pregnant, and then ran off to live in our town! He must be arrested!"
Zhao Youcai chuckled and said coldly, "You're jumping around like crazy when someone else is pregnant. Anyone who doesn't know better would think that the woman is carrying your child."
The man was so choked up that he couldn't speak, then he retorted angrily, "You old bastard, you're asking for it!"
The women's director's ears were ringing from the noise, and she lost her temper.
She pointed at the man and said, "Are you involved? What business is it of yours? Did I ask you? Try yelling at me again and see what happens!"
The man immediately quieted down, and sweat poured even more from his forehead.
As a woman who frequently handles neighborhood disputes, Director Wang has seen her fair share of the world.
She doesn't believe that the person being bullied must be an innocent, pitiful, and weak woman.
Putting aside everything else, just look at what happened a few years ago—how many people died at the hands of female spies?
Men are straightforward in their interactions; they'll start fighting at the slightest disagreement.
But women are all cunning and manipulative; they can truly kill without shedding blood.
When it comes to scheming, they can even fool themselves, especially those brainless naives, who are easy targets for their tricks.
In addition, since Zhao Youcai came to live on this street, Boss Qi specially brought him to his home to get acquainted with the place.
Others may not know that Zhao Youcai is going to buy this house, but that doesn't mean Director Wang doesn't know either.
Moreover, in order to learn more about Zhao Youcai and make sure he wasn't a troublemaker, she specifically inquired about him.
Knowing that this person was a very famous and capable man in the nearby town, Director Wang was worried about not having a chance to make his acquaintance.
And here we are! This opportunity to make friends has been delivered right to our doorstep!
With so many onlookers, Director Wang also had to consider his own reputation.
then--
"Are you Comrade Zhao Youcai? Could you please tell me more specifically what happened?"
The crowd erupted in chaos, with several people grumbling irritably.
"What does Director Wang mean by this? The facts are obvious, is there any need to ask?"
"Exactly! Even if you're going to ask, you should ask that poor woman. Why ask a man?"
"Oh dear, it must be Director Wang who's taken a liking to this old man. He's young and rich, and Director Wang has been raising her child alone for over ten years. How could she not be tempted?"
...
The surrounding chatter grew louder and louder, and there was a growing tendency to steer the conversation toward Director Wang.
Director Wang, who was already annoyed, was on the verge of exploding when Zhao Youcai suddenly interrupted him.
"If you have the guts, repeat what you said in front of the police later. I'll risk everything to send you gossipy people to jail so you'll learn your lesson!"
That's just human nature; it's in our nature to seek advantage, avoid harm, bully the weak, and fear the strong.
The people who were pointing fingers at Zhao Youcai suddenly quieted down when they saw him casually raise his hand and break the arm of the toughest guy on the street.
Seeing that the other party could still stand tall and fearlessly threaten them, they were so frightened that they dared not utter a sound.
At this moment, they finally realized that perhaps this poor woman was not as weak and vulnerable as they had thought.
The police arrived very quickly, which was something Chen Tingting had never expected.
After all, she had personally witnessed the woman who threatened to report the incident to the police, but her son was brought back, and the police officers had already left work by then.
But what's with this sudden appearance of the police officer?
The young policeman who was familiar with Zhao Youcai was also surprised. He was in such a hurry to deliver wedding invitations and candies to Comrade Zhao Youcai that he didn't even have time to go home and change his clothes before inviting him to his wedding next week. He never expected to encounter such a big event.
He wondered how anyone could be as unlucky as Zhao Youcai.
Trouble seems to surround him every day; he always seems to run into all sorts of messy and annoying things.
"What's going on? Why are you all gathered around here?"
Chen Tingting didn't dare to speak at all, and hugged her legs tightly, trembling uncontrollably.
The young policeman then looked at Zhao Youcai and asked, "Tell me, what happened?"
When the young policeman asked him a question, he didn't forget to give him a look that said, "We're not familiar with each other." Zhao Youcai instantly understood what the other party meant.
"This woman caused a scene at the store today and was taken to the police station to give a statement by the store owner. I guess she secretly followed him or asked around and found out where the store owner's house was, which is why she came to cause trouble."
Zhao Youcai pointed to the neighbor's house next door, "Boss Qi had something to do today, and after he came back, he took his wife out. I happen to live next door to him, and this woman came to my house to make a scene today."
At this point, Zhao Youcai sighed.
"As far as I can remember, I've never offended her, and I even did business with her boss. I don't know what she was thinking, trying to pin the child she's carrying on my head."
At this point, Zhao Youcai's previous dignified demeanor vanished, replaced by a pitiful expression of someone who couldn't explain himself.
"Don't let my youthful appearance fool you, I'm already sixty. My grandchildren are already in elementary school, how could I possibly get a young girl pregnant with my child?"
Although there are women who can still have children at sixty, they are not many.
Zhao Youcai's attitude of "I can't do it, I don't have the conditions" really infuriated Chen Tingting.
"She's a woman, and she's clutching her stomach saying she's pregnant, so she probably really is. Although I heard Director Zhu say that his secretary is single, has never had a boyfriend, and has never been married, a woman wouldn't joke about her reputation, would she?"
Zhao Youcai's words instantly changed everyone's opinion, and they all turned their attention to Chen Tingting.
"She's never had a boyfriend or been married, and that's what her boss said himself. Could this child be that of that Factory Director Zhu?"
"Tsk, what's wrong with a young girl like her? She's becoming a mistress. And then she tries to shift the blame onto an innocent old man. She's really heartless."
"Serves that little tyrant right for sticking his neck out and getting beaten up. If I were Zhao Youcai, I would have kicked him until he was crippled. He brought it on himself. It's just a broken arm, that's too good for him. He deserves it!"
Seeing the situation spiraling out of control, Chen Tingting suddenly covered her head and screamed.
