Liu Changsheng lit a cigarette, inhaled, and exhaled a smoke ring. The cara had already been turned off by him, so even if he harassed Zhao Shumin, there would be no evidence left.
"Xiao Zhao, you must be really tight on money, right?"
After failing at his initial attempt, Liu Changsheng changed tactics.
"Your son is already in his twenties and still unmarried. I’m guessing it’s because he can’t afford a house."
"That has nothing to do with you!"
"Oh, it has everything to do with ."
"You see, you’re a divorced woman who scrapes by on a asly salary, saving every penny."
"Even though housing prices are dropping in most parts of the country, including the suburbs of Shanghai—"
"For you, it’s still an astronomical sum."
"Let’s do this."
"Be with , be my mistress. In addition to your base salary, I’ll give you an extra six thousand yuan a month, how about that?"
"Not only will you have extra money to spend, but you’ll also get to ride in a Benz."
"I’ll even gift you LV bags and luxury makeup products, ensuring you live the life of a rich wife in Shanghai."
"But you’ll have to get an IUD; I don’t like using condoms."
At that mont, Shumin could no longer control her emotions.
"Get lost! You animal!"
Though she was indeed an ordinary person relying on a fixed salary, Zhao Shumin was undoubtedly a deeply traditional woman at heart.
The thought of being soone’s kept woman was worse than death for her.
With her attractive looks and her figure that many envied, countless n had coveted and pursued her over the years.
However, having experienced dostic abuse since childhood, Zhao Shumin harbored a deep-seated fear of n. The thought of remarriage had never even crossed her mind.
There was even a ti soone offered her twenty thousand yuan a month to be with him, and she had refused.
So how could she possibly agree to Liu Changsheng? Even if he offered her a hundred thousand yuan a month, she wouldn’t have considered it for even a second!
"You filthy bitch!"
"Don’t want a Benz? Acting high and mighty, huh."
After throwing out his last-ditch "ace", he still got no reaction from Shumin.
Liu Changsheng lost control of himself, furiously flicking his cigarette butt to the ground. He lunged at Zhao Shumin, trying to forcefully touch her and steal a kiss.
If he could kiss her and make so physical contact—
He was certain it would ignite Zhao Shumin’s desires!
There was no way a forty-sothing-year-old woman, single for so many years, could suppress those bottled-up urges!
As he got closer and closer to Zhao Shumin, Li Zhiyan suddenly charged in.
He leapt and landed a solid kick squarely on Liu Changsheng’s kidneys!
A wave of excruciating pain surged through Liu Changsheng!
Terrified and in pain, Liu Changsheng scrambled backward. He had thought it was just him and Zhao Shumin in the office.
Who would’ve expected a young man to burst in mid-way and deliver a devastating kick to his kidneys?
"Who the hell are you?!"
"Who I am doesn’t matter. You’ll have plenty of ti to explain everything to the police."
As he spoke, Li Zhiyan dialed the police. A surge of satisfaction flooded his heart—righteous acts like beating up scumbags felt incredible.
The way that flying kick had connected was just so damn satisfying, like he’d done it countless tis before!
...
Before long, the police arrived and took all three of them to the station.
In the diation room, the officers found Li Zhiyan and Zhao Shumin surprisingly familiar.
"Weren’t you two in here a few days ago after getting into a fight?"
"Didn’t I tell you to have soone co pick you up back then?"
Li Zhiyan replied, "Yes, officer. That was ."
"So what’s the story now? Why are you fighting again?"
Liu Changsheng, attempting to turn the tables, chid in.
"Officer, I was having a conversation with my employee when this guy barged in and attacked . My back is still killing !"
"Is that true?"
Just as Zhao Shumin was about to speak, Li Zhiyan cut her off. "Officer, that’s absolutely not how it happened."
"This man tried to assault my Aunt Zhao."
The officer couldn’t help but feel confused. This young man had previously been fighting with this woman to the point of having his shirt torn apart.
That kind of scene had seed like they were mortal enemies.
And now, just days later, they were on such good terms? It was baffling.
"I have evidence."
"Video evidence."
The officer leaned in as Li Zhiyan played the video he had recorded. He silently congratulated himself for being prepared in advance.
If he had rushed in unprepared, delivering that kick without prior planning—
In an office with no surveillance caras, explaining the situation would have been tricky.
After watching the video evidence, the officer’s expression turned serious.
"You’ve got so nerve."
"Harassing and assaulting won—unacceptable."
"Take him into custody."
Law enforcent is all about evidence. With the video Li Zhiyan provided, Liu Changsheng was imdiately detained.
It never occurred to Liu Changsheng, even in his wildest nightmares, that Li Zhiyan would’ve been recording the whole ti.
After returning, the officers sat down to comfort Zhao Shumin.
"Ma’am, there’s no need to worry. He’s been detained for seven days."
"Young man, well done. That was a heroic act."
"Here’s a little comndation—a police teddy bear for you."
The officer handed over a police-thed teddy bear to Li Zhiyan. Ever since their previous encounter at the station, the two had beco friends, much to the officer’s amazent.
...
At 11:30 PM, Li Zhiyan and Zhao Shumin left the station.
"Xiao Yan."
"What brought you to the office tonight?"
Watching Li Zhiyan’s shadow undulate with his steps, Zhao Shumin asked.
Her heart was filled with a strange sense of wonder.
It all felt like a dream! Just when she was terrified, Li Zhiyan had appeared.
