Chapter 70: When a Wall Falls, Everyone Pushes It
Lin Chuyue acted decisively, pulling out her pepper spray and pressing the nozzle!
A red spray instantly covered Han Jing's face.
"AHH!"
"My eyes!"
Han Jing fell heavily to the ground, writhing and struggling in pain.
Seeing this, City Lord Yin immediately stood up, his fat hand striking toward Lin Chuyue. "Bitch, I'll kill you!"
THUD!
The next second, City Lord Yin was sent flying backward.
His greasy body crashed onto the coffee table, shattering the glass top to pieces.
And where he had just been standing, Xiao Ye was fastidiously dusting off the corner of his clothes.
Then, he grinned at Lin Chuyue. "Yeah, just like that. Next time someone bullies you, just hit them!"
Lin Chuyue was stunned for a couple of seconds. She hadn't clearly seen how Xiao Ye had appeared out of thin air.
'That bastard, did he follow me again?'
At this thought, her expression soured, and she rolled her eyes at him without hesitation. "Hitting people is wrong. I'm not reckless like you."
"But... thank you anyway."
After all, her fight with Han Jing could, at most, be considered a private matter between two women.
If it were really investigated, the City Lord would likely kick Han Jing to the curb as a scapegoat.
But fighting with the City Lord was another matter entirely.
'Even though that scoundrel Xiao Ye saved me, he's just stirred up new trouble.'
'Oh well. We already had bad blood with the City Lord anyway.'
'I'll take responsibility for this one!'
City Lord Yin struggled to his feet. "You son of a bitch, you dare hit me?! You're courting death!"
The moment the words left his mouth, his phone suddenly rang.
Looking at the number on the screen, the viciousness on City Lord Yin's face instantly vanished, replaced by a sycophantic expression. "Boss..."
The person on the other end of the line berated him mercilessly, "You useless piece of trash! I make you the City Lord of a tiny little place like Jiangcheng, and you can't even do that right!"
"You just got there and you're already stirring up trouble. Great. Now you've pissed off someone from the Song Family. You can forget about being City Lord. Get your ass back here!"
"What?"
City Lord Yin was shocked. "Boss, there must be some misunderstanding! I haven't offended anyone from the Song Family!"
"Misunderstanding, my ass! Hurry up and figure out a way to fix this, or you can just wait to die!"
With that, the other person hung up.
City Lord Yin, who had been so menacing moments before, deflated like a punctured balloon and slumped weakly to the floor.
Lin Chuyue was taken aback. "The Song Family?"
Xiao Ye smiled faintly. "The person living in Villa No. 3 is from the Song Family. His name is Song Hanlin."
"I've been treating him for the past few days. I told him he didn't need to get involved, but I didn't expect him to take care of it anyway."
Hearing Xiao Ye's words, the City Lord's head snapped up. He finally understood what had just happened.
He didn't dare cause trouble for Xiao Ye, so he could only vent all his anger on Han Jing.
"You fucking jinx! If it weren't for you, I'd still be the damn City Lord of Jiangcheng!"
As the City Lord, he was the top dog in Jiangcheng, at least publicly.
Not to mention, the "tributes" from the various families were enough for him to live a life of luxury.
Who knew that just a few days after being parachuted in, he'd be sent packing back home.
This huge reversal of fortune made City Lord Yin completely break down.
Han Jing screamed incessantly as she was being beaten. "It wasn't me, darling! Don't listen to that dog bastard Xiao Ye's nonsense!"
"He doesn't know anyone from the Song Family at all! He's bluffing!"
But whether Xiao Ye was bluffing or not, City Lord Yin's position was well and truly gone!
He had to vent the frustration bottled up inside him!
City Lord Yin was already stout and brawny, and in his rage, he quickly beat Han Jing until blood flowed from her mouth and nose.
"You whore! You ruined my future! I should have killed you long ago!"
"And you talk about the Han Family being wiped out? I think you're the one who jinxed them! Serves them right!"
The slender Han Jing was curled up on the floor, her face covered in blood, her breathing as faint as a thread.
Lin Chuyue couldn't bear to watch any longer and couldn't help but cry out, "That's enough! Stop hitting her! If you keep this up, you'll kill her!"
Although she despised Han Jing, she couldn't just stand by and watch her be beaten to death.
This wasn't some naive, bleeding-heart compassion, but a basic respect for human life.
City Lord Yin's eyes were red with fury; he turned and tried to backhand Lin Chuyue across the face.
But then he met Xiao Ye's cold, murderous gaze, and he shuddered in fear, immediately pulling back his hand and stumbling out of the room.
Right now, he had more important things to do!
Since it was the Song Family who had taken his position, he had to beg to get it back, even if it meant groveling!
Soon, City Lord Yin arrived at Villa No. 3, pounding on the door and shouting, "Open up! I am City Lord Yin of Jiangcheng, here to pay my respects!"
"What's all the racket? Are you looking to die?"
The door opened a crack, and one of Elder Song's men stepped out, kicking City Lord Yin away. "Elder Song says that trash like you is not fit to be the lord of a city!"
"Get lost! If you dare disturb Elder Song again, we'll take your dog's life!"
City Lord Yin tumbled down the steps, cracking his head open and bleeding profusely.
But he didn't seem to notice, lying on the ground as if his soul had left his body.
'So it really was the Song Family who made the move. I'm completely finished!'
Lin Chuyue saw this scene through the window and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
'I can't believe such a huge crisis was resolved so suddenly.'
'Did the Song Family really help because of Xiao Ye?'
"Ugh..."
Han Jing, barely breathing, let out a pained groan.
Lin Chuyue walked over, her expression complicated. "Han Jing, what happened to the Han Family was their own doing. Don't get so lost in hatred that you lose yourself."
"Let go of this obsession in your heart. Leave Jiangcheng and start a new life that's truly your own."
"Shut up!"
Han Jing's voice was weak, but it couldn't hide her hatred. "Don't you stand there and pretend to be a good person!"
"You destroyed my whole family, and now you're telling me to let go of my hatred? How disgusting! Ptooey!"
Lin Chuyue frowned slightly. "It was your Han Family that kept pushing and pushing, which ultimately led to such a miserable end."
"All I can say is, you reap what you sow. You shouldn't be pushing the blame onto me."
"Han Jing, wake up. Those who harm others ultimately harm themselves."
"Enough! I don't need a lecture from you!"
Han Jing struggled to her feet, wiping away the blood that was streaming from her nose. Her black eye and bruised cheeks made for a wretched sight.
"Lin Chuyue, the feud for a father's murder is irreconcilable!"
"Unless I, Han Jing, am dead, I will be back sooner or later to settle this score with you!"
After spitting out these hateful words, Han Jing limped away.
Xiao Ye was very displeased. "Honey, a person like that is extremely vengeful. It's better to pull out the problem by the roots."
"Forget it..." Lin Chuyue reached out to stop him. "Don't cause any more trouble. Let her go."
"Actually, she wasn't deeply involved in the Han Family's wicked deeds. That's why I'm giving her one last chance."
"If she dares to come looking for trouble again, I absolutely won't show any mercy!"
Only then did Xiao Ye's brow relax. "Fine. In that case, I'll leave it for you to handle yourself."
'My sweet little wife is no helpless little bunny. She's even learned to use pepper spray. Progress!'
But just as Han Jing stepped out the main gate, she was blocked by several people in uniform.
The leader pulled out his credentials. "We're from the investigation department. Please come with us."
It dawned on Han Jing. To trip up the Lin Family, she had resorted to forging documents.
'Now that the tree has fallen, the monkeys have scattered. Retribution came so quickly.'
'Truly, when a wall is about to collapse, everyone gives it a shove!'
At this moment, Han Jing's heart was filled with desolation, her resentment soaring to the heavens.
To avenge the Han Family, she had lowered herself to serve a greasy, ugly man like City Lord Yin.
In the end, not only was her great revenge unfulfilled, but she herself was getting locked up.
The moment she was shoved into the law enforcement vehicle, Han Jing completely broke down.
She looked back at Lin Chuyue inside the villa and screamed at the top of her lungs, "Lin Chuyue! Xiao Ye! You two bastards! I curse you!"
"I curse you to a terrible death!"
