1001 I Have Been Wronged!
Su Liang was so frightened that he quickly knelt down and said, “Please spare me! I really didn’t do anything! She’s my woman. Isn’t it normal for me to touch her? The thing is I haven’t even succeeded yet! I’ve really been wronged!”
“Oh? But she said that there’s no relationship between the two of you. How do you explain that?” Luo Yu asked.
“I… I give her money and feed her every day but I’ve never even held her hand. I’ve really been wronged!” Su Liang said fearfully.
Luo Yu stood up and slowly walked to Su Liang’s side. He slowly stepped on Su Liang’s hand and crushed it. Su Liang lay on the ground in pain and screamed loudly.
“Ah!!!”
“Are you telling the truth? If you tell even one lie, you won’t be able to leave here in one piece,” Luo Yu threatened.
Su Liang was in so much pain that he broke out in cold sweat. He quickly nodded and said, “I’m telling the truth! If there’s even a single lie, I’ll be punished by being hacked into multiple pieces! I really didn’t touch her tonight. There was so little meat in the meal today, so I asked her where the meat coupons had gone and reached into her pockets to look for them. In the end, she ran out of the door as soon as I went over to her. I really didn’t touch her!”
Luo Yu looked at Su Liang and thought that he did not seem to be lying. Luo Yu slowly raised his foot and asked the colleagues behind him to tie Su Liang up. He wanted to go back and rest so that he could report this to his superiors the next day.
Dawn was only just breaking and Qiao Yu was already making a scene in Li Gui’s courtyard. She yelled and roared like a crazy woman as she pointed at the main door. People passing by even thought that Qiao Yu was mentally ill.
“Brother… should we report this to the Young Lady?” Xiao An from the guard team asked as he looked at his colleague.
Although Qiao Yu’s voice was not loud enough to reach Qiao Mei’s house, if anything should happen to this woman, it would be a difficult piece of news for them to report to the Xia family.
They had never seen such a crazy woman. She had been cursing since she arrived last night. At first, her voice was not so loud and she only muttered softly. However, by now, she was getting more and more outrageous and it was almost like she wanted to rush out and eat the two of them alive.
Xiao An had been with the guard team for a while and was waiting for his promotion this year. At this juncture, he could not afford to make any mistakes.
“Better not. It’s still so early and Second Miss and the others aren’t awake yet. Won’t you be asking for a scolding if you go now? If she wants to shout, then let her be. It’s even better if the police come over because of the commotion,” the colleague said.
They were among those who knew what was going on. Xia He had already told them the gist of the matter. These people were very tight-lipped and would not betray the family.
The Xia family’s guard team was made up of a group of people from the troops who had volunteered their services and then had undergone a strict selection process. This was because the Xia family had contributed a great deal to the army. Not only did they have family members in the army, but everyone held a very important position. More importantly, everyone of them was a great contributor and the meritorious awards received by the entire family could fill up an entire wall.
Both the government and the army attached great importance to such families that formed the backbone of the system. They wanted to protect the safety of the Xia family’s various households on home ground so that the Xia family members who were at the front line would not have any lingering worries. It was not just the Xia family who enjoyed this treatment, but the Zheng family as well. As long as a family had made a huge contribution to the army, there would be a private guard team at their disposal.
“Big sister, if you yell anymore, the neighbors around you will call the police. If that happens, you know very well who’s the one who’ll be at a disadvantage, you or us. You should stop now,” Xiao An said helplessly.
It was already a miracle that Qiao Yu had managed to survive that night. The temperature outside was minus 10 degrees Celsius and there was no heater in the house. There was not even a place to start a fire. Li Gui’s house used gas for heating instead of stoves.
There were no blankets in the children’s rooms either. In order to renovate the house, Qiao Mei had already emptied it of everything. Qiao Yu did not even have a bed and could only sleep on the cold floor.
Xiao An looked at the colleague next to him and then at the crazy woman in the courtyard. It was better for him to stand guard and pretend to be deaf and could not hear anything.
It was not their responsibility if anything happened to Qiao Yu, but if they made Qiao Mei angry, they could forget about working here anymore and would all be sent home to farm.
