Chapter 692: Thrill
Chapter 692: Chapter 692: Thrill
Zhang Wenbin was helped to sit on a chair and shook his head. “I mean, reporting to the police is useless. I was beaten after being covered with a sack, in the pitch dark I couldn’t see who did it.”
“Covered with a sack and beaten?” Mrs. Zhang’s voice suddenly sharpened, “Who is this heartless person that covered you with a sack? Is there no King’s Law in this world?”
Her repeated use of the word ’again’ caused Zhang Wenbin’s body to stiffen suddenly as the images sealed away rushed back.
“It must be them, it must be them.”
When he first returned to An City after divorcing Qin Juan, he was also beaten this way.
At that time, he hadn’t figured out who held a grudge against him. Later, Qin Han let it slip.
Today, he had just seen Qin Juan during the day and was beaten at night.
Who else could it be but those two brothers?
Upon hearing this, ignoring her pain, Mrs. Zhang leaned forward, “You know who it is? Then what are you waiting for, go to the police station and report them. This is a society governed by law; if they hit people, they must be jailed, and medical expenses should not be ignored.”
Zhang Wenbin didn’t want to suffer this loss either.
But going to the police station to file a grievance would require evidence.
Everything was his speculation. No matter how accurate, without witnesses or physical evidence, what could he do to them?
Moreover, those two brothers were not ordinary people, and there was also Lin Chuxia.
He feared that taking evidence to the police station would end up with those few people quietly suppressing the situation.
“Mom, don’t worry about this matter. Focus on recovering; I have a plan.”
Zhang Wenbin left this message and glanced at Li Dongmei.
Li Dongmei sensibly came forward to help him up and supported Zhang Wenbin, who limped back to the room.
Mrs. Zhang was still shouting from behind, “Wenbin, don’t let them off easy, the medical expenses must be at least three hundred, I’m in so much pain that I need to recuperate well.”
After finishing, she continued to moan in pain.
…………
Returning to his room, Zhang Wenbin shook off Li Dongmei with a frosty gaze.
“Are you thinking of divorcing me too?”
Li Dongmei was inherently afraid of Zhang Wenbin; being stared at by his grim eyes made her little courage disappear, causing her to slightly tremble and shake her head, “No… no…”
Zhang Wenbin snorted coldly, “Better not. I’ve already divorced once and can’t divorce a second time. Even if there were to be a divorce, it would be me not wanting you.”
The last divorce was Qin Juan’s idea, which cost him his dignity as a man.
Zhang Wenbin absolutely would not allow a second woman to step on him.
Li Dongmei trembled again and nodded, “I understand.”
Seeing her timid demeanor reminded Zhang Wenbin of Qin Juan during the day.
Qin Juan used to behave the same way, submissive, never daring to go east when he said west.
Now, not only was she divorced from him, but she had also latched on to another man and was pregnant.
Every time he thought of his former woman doing such things with another man, Zhang Wenbin felt his head turning green with jealousy.
He viciously kicked Li Dongmei, “Whore, all whores…”
……………
Upon entering Qin Family Village, Zhuang Yang looked at the two brothers walking in line ahead, still doubting what he had witnessed.
These two brothers claimed they were going for a stroll, so he assumed they were just taking a walk.
Having just had a drink, he wanted to let the alcohol evaporate from his body.
Unexpectedly, the two headed straight out of Qin Family Village towards the county as if they had urgent matters.
It was his idea to accompany the brothers for a walk, feeling embarrassed to back out now.
Moreover, Zhuang Yang keenly noticed the atmosphere between the brothers was growing tense, anticipating something was about to happen.
Curiosity drove him to follow them all the way to a residential area in the county.
There, he saw Qin Yang’s older brother, Qin Han, magically pulling a sack from his coat.
Qin Yang scouted the surrounding area with vigilant eyes, like a hunting leopard.
By now, Zhuang Yang had guessed they were waiting for someone.
Qin Han even asked Qin Yang if they would succeed in waiting.
How did his steadfast brother-in-law answer?
“Let’s wait and see, if not today then tomorrow, if they still don’t show, we’ll break down the door. I refuse to believe that bastard won’t come out.”
It was only then he remembered Zhuang Yang was there and politely asked if he wanted to head back first.
Zhuang Yang: “…”
Only remembering to ask now, wasn’t it a bit too late?
Still, Zhuang Yang wasn’t afraid; in fact, he found it thrilling.
The excitement was only just beginning.
The brothers roamed a section of the county and actually caught someone.
It’s unclear if that person had offended the Qin brothers, or if they were merely unlucky.
Such a frigid night, instead of staying indoors, they were wandering outside late at night.
Zhuang Yang saw Qin Yang move first upon spotting a figure.
He snatched the sack from Qin Han’s hand and briskly approached the person, ensnaring their head before they could react.
Qin Han followed suit, mercilessly delivering punches and kicks to the person.
No matter how that person shouted, the two showed no mercy.
Given the circumstances, merely standing by would have been impolite.
Zhuang Yang joined in, raining down his own punches and kicks until the person could only groan helplessly.
But really, it wasn’t his fault.
If the Qin brothers were hitting, how could he not join, risking looking out of place?
Would they call on him next time they had something to do?
Qin Han was easygoing; he didn’t know him well.
But Qin Yang was his brother-in-law; he couldn’t allow him to think he was an outsider.
Having rationalized it, Zhuang Yang had no guilt.
Instead, he felt his relationship with his brother-in-law had grown deeper.
Afterwards, the trio headed back without speaking, and Zhuang Yang didn’t ask questions.
He was just that understanding.
Upon returning to Qin Family Village, it was already past ten; the Qin Family’s parents in the front yard had gone to bed.
After closing the gate, the three walked silently towards the backyard.
The lights in several rooms were still on, and Zhuang Yang was about to bid the two brothers goodnight when Zhuang Jingshu stepped out of a room.
Seeing them, she nodded slightly, her gaze finally landing on Zhuang Yang.
“Why are you back so late? Did you encounter any difficulties at work?”
It was a simple inquiry, yet Zhuang Yang felt like he had been caught.
The last time he felt this way was back in his school days.
Casually glancing at his brother-in-law beside him, he noted how composed he was despite his recent actions.
Facing his mother-in-law, he remained calm and collected.
Wer it not for his hands behind his back concealing his injured hand, he seemed like he’d just come back from a casual stroll.
