Chapter 96: Where’s the Promised Delicate and Beautiful Young Girl?
Song Ping couldn’t accept Li Dong’s infidelity, and because she had truly loved him, she now felt a sense of disgust when she looked at him.
Hearing her words, Li Dong’s eyes widened in disbelief. “I’m your man, and you think I’m dirty?”
“Ping Ping, I won’t make the same mistake again. From now on, you’ll be the only one for me. Don’t be angry, let’s talk this out, okay?” He took a few steps forward, his face still etched with a pleading expression.
His true love was Song Ping. He was with that widow mainly because he wanted a child.
Now that the child was born, their family would compensate the widow, and then he and Song Ping would raise the child together. Wasn’t that a good thing?
Why couldn’t Song Ping accept it? A child with his bloodline was surely better than adopting one, right?
Having lived with Li Dong for several years, Song Ping could easily read his thoughts, and she felt a wave of nausea wash over her.
“I want a divorce. From now on, you’re no longer my man. I can never forgive you for cheating and having a child.”
She took a deep breath and said, “Li Dong, this incident has made me see you for who you truly are. You’re a selfish, self-serving scoundrel. You apologize with your mouth, but your heart doesn’t mean it. You even think I’m being unreasonable. You’re beyond saving.”
“Dirty is dirty. Just like a rag that needs to be thrown away. So there’s no need to say anything more. Just looking at you makes me sick to my stomach. I can’t stay in the Li family any longer.”
“Chu Chu, let’s go.” She felt an overwhelming sense of exhaustion and leaned on Song Chu’s shoulder.
“No, wife, you can’t leave me. I was wrong, I truly was.” Seeing Song Ping’s disappointment turn into cold indifference, and that she was serious about divorcing him, Li Dong finally panicked.
He couldn’t help but reach out to grab Song Ping. But before his hand could even touch her, Song Chu lifted her leg and kicked him flying more than a meter away.
“Ah!” Li Dong couldn’t help but clutch his stomach and scream in pain.
Everyone present was stunned. What kind of strength was that?
The two police officers were dumbfounded: “…” Where’s the promised delicate and beautiful young girl?
Song Chu looked at everyone innocently. “He was making a move on me. I was just defending myself.”
If it weren’t for the fact that she needed Li Dong to be arrested, she would have broken his leg.
But that kick just now was enough for him to suffer. Not only would he experience frequent pain, but it would also leave him with a significant internal injury, affecting his, ahem, abilities. And the best part was, it wouldn’t show up on any examination. A scumbag who commits domestic violence doesn’t deserve to be a normal person.
Everyone: “…”
Tang Feng immediately said, “My poor Yaobao and Ping Ping, almost got bullied by this beast again. Good self-defense.”
“…” The crowd twitched their mouths. Who exactly was bullying whom?
Li Mother saw her son clutching his stomach and screaming on the ground, looking like he was in immense pain.
She couldn’t help but say to the two police officers, “Comrade Police Officer, Song Chu is bullying people. She dares to use violence right in front of you. Arrest her quickly.”
“Bah, you’re blind. It was clearly your son who tried to make a move. My Yaobao was just defending herself with a kick.”
“My Yaobao is a delicate and weak girl. A casual kick from her wouldn’t do much harm. Li Dong is such a good actor.” She snorted coldly.
Although everyone was shocked by Song Chu kicking Li Dong, seeing Li Dong’s seemingly life-or-death appearance, they thought it was a bit exaggerated and that he was probably faking it.
However, they absolutely wouldn’t agree with the “delicate and weak girl” part. Which girl could kick a grown man flying?
Huo Kai had already witnessed Song Chu’s combat power. He could tell that Li Dong wasn’t faking it, but he thought to himself, “Serves him right.”
He cleared his throat and said, “Li Dong made the first move. Song Chu’s self-defense is justified.”
The two police officers finally came back to their senses, and their gazes towards Song Chu were now different.
However, they didn’t think Song Chu was in the wrong. Instead, they thought, “Well done,” in their hearts. This kind of shameless domestic abuser deserved such treatment.
“Self-defense is legal.” Liu Rong’s words confirmed that Song Chu was in the clear.
Then, he and Zhang Zhenxing pulled Li Dong up. “Li Dong is suspected of domestic violence and infidelity. We need to take him back for interrogation.”
“No, my son didn’t. Comrade Police Officer, you can’t just listen to Song Ping’s side of the story.” Li Mother stepped forward, trying to stop them.
Liu Rong said coldly, “The victim’s facial injuries and dislocated arm are right in front of us. Do you think we’re blind?”
“We’ll send the victim to the hospital first, and we’ll stay here to investigate Li Dong’s case,” Zhang Zhenxing said to Liu Rong.
He saw that Song Ping was very weak, and her dislocated arm was in a sling. She looked pitiful.
◈◈◈
“Okay,” Liu Rong nodded.
At this moment, not only did Li Dong’s stomach hurt badly, but he also felt like a bucket of cold water had been poured over him, chilling him to the bone. His wife really didn’t want him anymore.
Song Chu was too lazy to get entangled with the Li family any further. “Mom, you guys go back first. I’ll take Sister Ping to the hospital.”
“Alright, go quickly. Look how weak Ping Ping is, those beasts from the Old Li Family.” Tang Feng nodded.
Second Aunt stepped forward, “Chu Chu, I’ll go with you.”
Song Chu knew she was worried about her cousin. “Okay.”
Huo Kai tossed the car keys to Gu Yue. “You take them to the hospital. I’ll stay here with Comrade Zhang to gather evidence.”
Gu Yue caught the keys. “Alright, I’ll come back to pick you up later.”
“Okay,” Huo Kai nodded.
Song Chu carried Song Ping to the car, and Second Aunt got in with them.
Gu Yue started the car and drove away from the village.
Watching the jeep gradually disappear into the distance, Li Dong was in pain and panic. He suddenly felt like he was about to lose the most important thing in his life.
At the county hospital, Song Chu carried Song Ping to get examined and treated. Gu Yue helped with registration and other tasks.
The dislocated arm was reset and put in a splint.
Song Chu asked the hospital to issue a medical certificate of injury to be used as evidence at the police station.
The hospital administered an anti-inflammatory drip. Song Chu and Second Aunt stayed with Song Ping at the hospital, while Gu Yue drove back to pick up Huo Kai and the others.
Since she would be a witness and needed to give a statement, Song Chu decided to let Song Ping stay overnight at the hospital, with Second Aunt accompanying her.
She then returned to the village with Gu Yue, who had come back again.
Huo Kai drove them back.
On the way, Song Chu asked, “Did you gather all the evidence?”
Huo Kai replied, “Yes, we did. At first, the Li family denied everything. But then we found the widow, and after I intimidated her a little, she told the truth.”
“So how will he be sentenced?” Song Chu asked again.
Huo Kai said, “The widow insists that she and Li Dong were only together to have a child. It’s hard to determine a sentence for their situation. But this can be used to help your cousin apply for a divorce.”
“Li Dong is suspected of domestic violence, which can get him some time in labor reform. After he’s released, he and the widow can be subjected to public criticism.”
Song Chu nodded. “Thank you so much for today.”
What she wanted was for Li Dong to regret it for the rest of his life, especially when he saw that her cousin could still live well without him.
Huo Kai smiled and waved his hand. “No need to thank me. After all, I’m Xiao Yue’s cousin.”
Song Chu smiled and asked, “So, should I be thanking Gu Yue instead?”
“Haha, you can think of it that way.” Huo Kai turned his head to wink at Gu Yue, who was sitting next to him, and answered with a smile.
