Brother Zhao rolled his eyes and took advantage of the situation to run away. Shen Hanxing and the others had no evidence. As long as he ran away and asked the big boss for help, he would be able to escape from the law!
Bang! However, a huge force came from behind. Shen Hanxing subdued Brother Zhao quickly and took a few steps forward to kick him in the back. “Are you trying to run?”
Brother Zhao screamed and fell to the ground. Shen Hanxing dragged him into the house like dragging a corpse. Then, she called the police.
The police car came quickly. The young policeman could not help but smile when he saw Shen Hanxing. “Mrs. Ji, we meet again.”
Shen Hanxing spread her hands helplessly. “I’ll have to trouble you again.” She had to call the police whenever she came to the city’s west side. After a while, she became familiar with the police.
“It’s my duty to serve the people,” The young police officer had a good impression of Shen Hanxing. He smiled and shook his head. Then, he went to deal with the matter with a serious expression. He handcuffed Brother Zhao and Wang Wentao, lying on the ground. Qiao Xi changed her clothes and went to take a statement in the police station with Shen Hanxing. Just as they went out, the women watching the commotion outside surrounded them. They asked enthusiastically, “Qiao Xi, what’s going on? Why are the police here?”
“You couples tend to have conflict. Xiao Wang is so nice. He is a decent university student. How did it end up like this? Why are you so ruthless?”
“Why is there a man in the house? I heard some movement in the courtyard just now. Hey, Qiao Xi, did Xiao Wang get paid to let this man take advantage of you? Did he succeed? How much money did Xiao Wang get?”
“It’s also your fault, Qiao Xi. You’re pretty. That’s why people are willing to pay to sleep with you. Sigh! Women who are good-looking earn money easily.”
“This is embarrassing. You ended up alarming the police…”
Qiao Xi’s face turned pale. She bit her lips and lowered her head. It was not her fault, but she had to stand there and hear the words of these people who seemed to care but were actually gloating. Wang Wentao’s words rang in her mind again. “Slept with many guys… b*tch… whore… dirty…”
Qiao Xi was at a loss for a moment. Her world seemed spinning as she felt herself sinking into an abyss. “Look! Someone paid this woman to sleep with a man. She is dirty! Shameful!”
“No! Please! Someone save me…” Qiao Xi thought.
At this moment, a cold and clear female voice sounded. “Have you said enough?”
Qiao Xi lifted her head and looked at the slender figure before her. Her figure was slim and straight, exerting feminine beauty. She was not timid at all. Instead, she was elegant and firm. It was what everyone yearned for the most.
Shen Hanxing’s eyes were sharp. She stared at those gossipy women. “If you’re so curious, why don’t you follow me to the police station to get to know more?” She had lived in the slums before. So, she knew what those people were up to. They were gossipy and vulgar, and they were conservative and stubborn. If something happened to a girl, it must be because she was wearing too little and dressed gorgeously. If a woman’s boyfriend or husband beat her up, she must have been insensible and done something wrong. These women would always try to ask the women to bear with it. They would never feel the pain if they were not the ones suffering it. Those women would put on a good attitude and push the person already distressed into a more bottomless abyss.
“Hey. Why are you so fierce as a girl?” The woman holding the basin curled her lips.
Shen Hanxing glanced at her. The woman was a little scared by seeing the look in Shen Hanxing’s eyes. However, she quickly mucked up her courage. “What we said is the truth. As the old saying goes, destroying a temple is better than marriage. Qiao Xi and Xiao Wang have been sleeping for so long. She will need to marry Xiao Wang. It is bizarre to send her future husband to the police station.”
The other women did not think anything was wrong with this statement. They all agreed, “That’s right. Life has to go on. It’s normal for young couples to have conflicts. Why did you have to call the police?”
“Everyone makes mistakes. Qiao Xi should give her boyfriend a chance to change after making a mistake. There’s no need to make such a big fuss! Xiao Wang is a university student. How can she ask the police to arrest him? Isn’t that ruining his future?”
