Chapter 529: Then I'll Just Stop by to Report It to the Police on the Way

"Is this what you call 'lively'?"

Zhou Yi gestured toward those people and said, "You call this 'lively'? Look at what they are doing. Lingling, Zhou Min is still so young; you really need to say something about this."

"Also, that Zheng Chuan, tell your brothers not to touch my friend. She is just here to watch the festivities, understand?"

"Otherwise, I can't guarantee what might happen!"

"Alright, brother, I get it!"

No one thought Zhou Yi would do anything; after all, it was a wedding, and on the day of the wedding, the couple is the most important.

If you were to cause a scene, it would be equivalent to making enemies for life.

Therefore, normally speaking, as long as it is someone else's wedding, people basically offer their blessings. Even if things get a bit too rowdy at times, the elders usually find it festive.

He just looked at Zhou Lingling; her three friends were all a bit angry now, as some people's hands were truly not keeping to themselves.

The bridesmaids were wearing those kinds of dresses, and with so many people, as soon as they crowded in, hands were wandering everywhere. Anyway, under the guise of a wedding, it seemed like anything was permissible.

Yet Zhou Lingling just kept smiling there, ignoring everything, saying nothing.

Seeing that Zhou Yi had finally left, Zheng Chuan curled his lips and said, "Lingling, what is up with your relative? It's a wedding day, what's wrong with a little rowdiness? Just because he has a bit of money, he thinks he's no longer from Lincheng, right?"

He knew full well that his brothers had long been eyeing Zhou Yi's friend, who was impossibly beautiful.

People are defined by their friends; Zheng Chuan himself belonged to the type who had a little money and spent his time fooling around everywhere, so his friends were just the same.

When everyone joked around on normal days, they often said things like, when so-and-so gets married, they would definitely grope the bridesmaids a few times...

Anyway, they were just there to attend a wedding; it had always been like this before, and he had never seen anyone think it was wrong.

He thought this way, and those friends thought the same.

Yuan Xiangdong gave a signal, and then several men walked out, heading straight for Zhou Xinran with full smiles on their faces.

Zhou Cainiao was standing at the doorway filming a video; it wasn't about self-protection or anything, it was just an occupational habit.

Mainly, the bridesmaids were being harassed too aggressively. Zhou Xinran had already seen someone reach their hand into the other person's dress, and that girl was just enduring it without getting angry.

As a result, just at this moment, she saw someone rushing toward her and hurriedly tried to dodge, but it was already too late.

She was pushed into the bedroom, surrounded by the groom's friends, all wearing those disgusting smiles on their faces.

If it were any other time, she would have slapped them already. As the closed-door disciple of Lawyer Fang, her training was far more extensive than Zhou Yi's.

Naturally, Lawyer Fang's apprentice must be able to fight. As a girl, Zhou Xinran wasn't strong, but she always carried some inconspicuous items with her.

But Zhou Xinran hesitated; after all, this was Zhou Yi's relative...

Seeing that no one was listening to him, Zhou Yi intended to go up, push the others aside, and take Zhou Min out of the bedroom first.

But before he could even push through, he saw Zhou Xinran being dragged in from outside.

The one dragging her was the very guy who had been preparing to spray confetti on him earlier!

Zhou Yi couldn't hold back anymore. Yes, it was indeed his wedding, but he had already spoken to Zheng Chuan and Zhou Lingling beforehand, saying that this was a friend he brought along just to watch the festivities.

He had asked Zheng Chuan to make it clear to his friends not to touch her.

But what was the result? It seemed like they didn't care about what he said at all!

Originally, he only attended this wedding to help out because of his status as a relative, but in the end, no one paid any attention to what he said.

So Zhou Yi didn't hesitate at all; he went up, grabbed one guy by his clothes, pulled him away, pushed another guy aside, and roared, "What are you doing? What the hell are you doing? Did you all go deaf when I was talking earlier?"

After he roared, someone still tried to make a move, so Zhou Yi went straight up and shoved them, pushing that person until they nearly sat on the floor.

The room had been extremely lively, with young people jeering and filming videos, while the older ones watched and laughed.

Everyone seemed to be having a wonderful, happy time.

But suddenly, Zhou Yi lost his temper. The lively atmosphere in the room vanished instantly. Many people looked at Zhou Yi with strange expressions, seemingly feeling that his outburst was inappropriate.

Zhou Xinran, however, shook her arms and walked to Zhou Yi's side. Not bad, this guy was actually quite reliable.

Just a moment ago, Zhou Xinran had already decided that if she were pushed in and Zhou Yi still didn't do anything, she would have started fighting back herself.

Worry about saving face? If she really cared about saving face, she wouldn't have sent her blind date into that situation.

Sure enough, before those people could even reach out with their filthy hands, Zhou Yi had already come up and started raging.

The room fell silent. The few who had been the most aggressive earlier hadn't reacted yet, or rather, they didn't believe anyone would lose their temper at a time like this.

And he was a relative, too!

Finally, the older aunt relative from the groom's side spoke up: "Oh my, what is this for? They didn't do anything, they were just trying to be festive. You are..."

This sentence was like opening the floodgates, and many of the groom's relatives began to chime in.

"Exactly, on such a joyous day, what couldn't you wait until after it was over to say?"

"It's as if everyone wants to harass your friend; isn't this all just for the sake of being lively!"

Zhou Yi turned his head to look at the relative who spoke and said, "For the sake of being lively? Is it 'for the sake of being lively' that you can reach your hand into someone's dress? Is this what you call being lively?"

"I have truly never seen such a way of being lively!"

Zhou Lingling's face showed disbelief; she also hadn't expected this to happen.

Everything had been fine, and everyone was happy, but now her second uncle's nephew had caused such a scene, which made her feel she couldn't explain it to the groom's side.

"Uh, Brother Zhou, I can testify to this, they really were just messing around, and just now it was an accident..." Zheng Chuan hesitated before speaking up.

The noise in the bedroom had already reached the outside, and the other elders from the groom's side had also walked in, especially Zheng Chuan's parents, whose expressions were extremely unpleasant right now.

But since they were in this position, it wasn't easy for them to say anything to the bride's family in front of so many people, so they just stood there with dark faces.

Yuan Xiangdong also said there, "Brother, what are you doing? Whose hand went into a dress? This is just for the sake of being festive, you..."

"That's enough, call their family and make it clear. I've never seen such a person, throwing a tantrum on an occasion like this!"

"Exactly, anyone who didn't know better would think something happened. Cursing and hitting people—who does he think he is!"

A bunch of relatives took turns speaking up, and Zhou Xinran couldn't even listen to it anymore.

Just at this moment, Zhou Yi's phone rang. He picked it up and saw it was Zhou's father.

"Hello, Dad, what's wrong?"

The voice of Lao Zhou sounded over the phone: "What are you doing? That is your younger sister's wedding. How could you argue with others, and they say you even hit someone?"

Lao Zhou was currently standing with Zhou Yi's uncle; the groom's side had just called, and Zhou Yi's uncle had immediately sought him out.

Of course, Zhou Yi's uncle didn't say much; it was mainly Zhou Yi's aunt who kept talking.

"Second Brother, what is your Zhou Yi doing? We asked him to help escort the bride, counting on him to hold up appearances, but he's out here embarrassing our Zhou family!"

"With so many relatives present, he goes up there and starts cursing and hitting people. Tell me, how is our Lingling supposed to face anyone in the future..."

Being told this, Lao Zhou also felt a bit put on the spot, so he quickly called Zhou Yi to ask for the reason.

He felt that his son had always been a person with his own mind; it was impossible for him to argue with others for no reason, and even less likely for him to resort to violence easily.

Last time with the Elevator installation matter, even when the other party acted like that, his son hadn't resorted to violence or anything.

Zhou Yi said directly: "Dad, their Wedding Hazing is very excessive, and they even wanted to harass Xinran. I had already told the people who needed to be told not to harass Xinran, but no one listened. You tell me what I should do."

Upon hearing this, Lao Zhou said: "Fine, I know. You and Xinran come back; don't stay there anymore."

Zhou Yi gave a grunt and hung up the phone. He was just about to tell Zhou Xinran that they were leaving when, at that very moment, someone said: "What do you mean by this? What do you mean our Wedding Hazing is excessive? Who is being excessive!"

Zhou Yi turned his head to look and discovered it was the one who had been acting very aggressively earlier; he was standing there with a flushed face, looking very dissatisfied.

The one speaking was none other than Yuan Xiangnan. The group of them had just been having fun, only for Zhou Yi to come up and start pulling and pushing them, and even swearing.

None of them had good tempers to begin with, so naturally, they were dissatisfied now.

"Today is my buddy's big day. I shouldn't be arguing with you, but don't you think you're being too excessive? Which wedding doesn't have this kind of hazing? What's wrong, are your people made of gold or something?"

Zhou Yi was almost laughed at by anger and said: "Is this a question of being made of gold? This is a question of your behavior already being illegal and criminal, you know? What you guys were doing just now, that was already breaking the law..."

However, Zhou Yi's words were interrupted by Zhou Lingling before he could finish.

"Can you stop talking? Ah, Zhou Yi, is it really necessary? Do you have to make it so I can't get married? What exactly did I do to offend you? I'm begging you, please stop talking, okay!"

Zhou Lingling shouted there, and as she spoke, she started to cry.

She really felt too wronged. It was her wedding, such a good day, yet it had been turned into this by one of her own relatives.

Seeing this, Zheng Chuan quickly went up to comfort her, but the more he comforted her, the harder Zhou Lingling cried.

The surrounding relatives and friends started to point fingers and blame even more.

Zhou Yi didn't intend to argue, but now he really felt he couldn't hold it in anymore!

It was indeed the other party's wedding, and they were indeed the guests of honor, but that didn't mean one had to endure everything!

But it was truly not the right time to say anything more, so Zhou Yi signaled to Zhou Xinran beside him and immediately intended to leave.

Zhou Min also quickly followed; she didn't want to stay here either.

Just at this moment, Yuan Xiangnan said: "Calling us illegal? You must have watched too many videos online. Nowadays, there are always people who think they are so tough. If you say we are illegal, then go report us. If you don't have the ability, then shut up."

"Exactly, turning a younger sister's wedding into this and not feeling embarrassed. Young people these days, having stayed outside for too long, they talk about 'illegal' at the drop of a hat!"

Zhou Yi paused upon hearing this, then left without looking back.

Only a pile of relatives and friends were left there looking at each other, especially the relatives who had come with Zhou Yi to escort the bride; their expressions were extremely awkward.

However, since Zhou Yi had left, the proceedings could continue.

A young man beside Yuan Xiangnan said: "Brothers, could there be any trouble with this?"

Hearing this, Yuan Xiangnan said with a look of disdain: "What trouble could there be? He was just trying to scare us. Besides, what did we do wrong? We didn't do anything wrong at all!"

The others nodded; no one felt this was an issue, and soon the ceremony continued...

On the other side, Lao Zhou looked at his younger brother and sister-in-law in front of him and said: "Third Brother, I have to tell you about this. There is a reason for it. When Xiao Yi came back, he brought a friend, and then the people on the groom's side wanted to harass her too..."

He briefly explained the situation and then explained: "Xiao Yi didn't do it on purpose either; it's mainly because that side was indeed a bit..."

However, before Lao Zhou could finish his words, Zhou Yi's aunt shouted directly: "Second Brother, today is my daughter's wedding day!"

"What's wrong with a little hazing? Isn't that just for the sake of celebration? Which family doesn't do that!"

"Is it really necessary for him? Ah, does he have to lose his temper at a time like this?"

Lao Zhou waved his hand and said: "It's not about whether it's necessary or not; the girl is also visiting my house for the first time..."

However, Lao Zhou's explanation was useless. Out of consideration for their relatives, everyone felt that his son was simply unacceptable and that he absolutely should not have lost his temper today.

They urged Lao Zhou to talk to Zhou Yi again and have him apologize to the others.

Lao Zhou expressed that he couldn't: "I can't do that. My son is doing better than me now, so he definitely won't listen to me."

No one knew that at this very moment, the young girl Zhou Min in Zhou Yi's car was looking outside with a curious expression, and finally couldn't help but speak: "Brother Zhou Yi, this doesn't seem to be the way back to Ling Jie's house, right?"

Zhou Yi smiled and shook his head: "Of course not, this is the way to the Police Station."

"The Police Station?" Zhou Min was even more confused.

"That's right. You heard them just now; they were the ones who told us to report it. Since that's the case, let's go to the Police Station to file a report. We'd just be idle if we went back anyway."

It was Zhou Min's first time encountering Zhou Yi's way of doing things, and she was completely stunned. Reporting a crime while on the way... is reporting a crime something you can just do while on the way?

"But, can't we just call the police?"

"Calling is not as satisfying as reporting it in person. Xiao Min, you also felt uncomfortable with the way they acted just now, right?"

Zhou Min nodded. She was still young, and although she understood many things, being held and touched by so many men—just thinking about it felt like a nightmare.

"When we get to the Police Station later, just tell the truth. We have the video we recorded."

Zhou Xinran, in the passenger seat, shook her phone: "Little sister, it's better not to agree to these kinds of things in the future, unless everything is confirmed clearly in advance."

Not long after, they arrived at the nearby Police Station, parked the car, and the three of them went inside.

"Officer, I'm here to report a crime."

"Multiple people, in a public place and in front of others, committed Forced Indecency against a minor female, causing great harm to her physical and mental well-being."

What? The police officer inside immediately had an extremely serious expression: "Are you telling the truth?"

"It's true, we have evidence, and a lot of it."

Speaking of this, Zhou Yi suddenly felt like something was missing.

Oh right, he forgot to take Zhou Min to get a medical certificate, but it didn't matter; he could go get it after reporting the crime.

Regarding those few men, truthfully Zhou Yi did not think they were good people at all, and his relationship with the groom was just so-so.

If they were truly good brothers, who would cause trouble for their own good brother?

Today's second update, written in a stumbling manner, this plot wasn't handled well... I feel a bit bad about it myself, it's quite late, I wonder if anyone is still waiting...

Thanks to Book Friend 2020, Book Friend 2022, Wenchidage, Wenchidage, Another Newbie-dage, Mengxinzai-dage, goodnight everyone.
