Chapter 17

Jia Jia Zhangshi was still being stubborn, maintaining a stance of denial regarding the matter.

"Fine, I won't argue with you here."

"I’m going to report this now; let the police handle whether he stole it or not!"

Chen Tian couldn't be bothered to waste more breath on this person.

Since they refused to cooperate, he would let the law punish them!

Once the police finished their investigation, none of the people present—the First Uncle, Sha Zhu, the Second Uncle, and the like—would be able to escape!

He would just say he lost some very important documents.

At that point, not only would Jia Jia Zhangshi’s precious grandson be in trouble, but this whole group would be dealt with.

And with a criminal record, how would you keep your jobs in the future!

"Chen Tian, you dead-end wretch!"

"You killed your own parents, and now you’re trying to harm us!"

"People like you will die a horrible death sooner or later!"

Jia Jia Zhangshi burst into a torrent of abuse, her mouth full of filth.

"Jia Jia Zhangshi, shut your mouth!"

Hearing her say this, the First Uncle became anxious.

Wasn't this just pure suicide?

You should know that Chen Tian could beat Sha Zhu to the ground, let alone a fat hag like you!

Hearing her say this, even with Chen Tian’s good temper, he couldn't hold back anymore.

You fat hag, not only do you steal and deny it, but you dare to insult my parents!

"Bang!"

Chen Tian threw a punch directly at her face.

Jia Jia Zhangshi’s body, made of layers of fat, collapsed onto the ground.

"Damn you, let that mouth of yours be cheap!"

"Letting you spew filth, if I don't beat you to death today, I’m not surnamed Chen!"

Seeing her collapsed on the ground, Chen Tian straddled her and rained punches down on her, causing her to shriek.

"Help me!"

"Murder! Murder!"

The others in the Sihe Academy were stunned by this scene, but no one dared to step forward to intervene.

Because they had long been fed up with Jia Jia Zhangshi’s usual behavior.

In fact, because of that filthy mouth of hers, her reputation in this Sihe Academy was even worse than Sha Zhu’s.

So they watched coldly from the sidelines, without a shred of sympathy in their eyes.

Xu Xu Damao was so excited he started clapping.

His wife, Lou Lou Xiaoe, also felt this person deserved a beating.

Even the Third Uncle felt quite satisfied at this moment.

This fat hag had often squeezed him, and now she was finally getting what she deserved.

Qin Qin Huairu, not far away, was also shocked by this scene.

Seeing her mother-in-law getting beaten like this, she actually felt a sense of pleasure.

Chen Tian had done what she wanted to do for so long but never dared to.

But no matter what, Jia Jia Zhangshi was her mother-in-law; she couldn't show that pleasure on her face, so she hurriedly grabbed Sha Zhu.

"Zhu, please help, my mother-in-law is going to be in real trouble!"

Hearing this, Sha Zhu was in a dilemma.

It wasn't that he didn't want to help, but he simply didn't dare.

"Zhu is a coward now too."

Xu Xu Damao added insult to injury from the side.

Seeing that Sha Zhu didn't dare to move, Qin Qin Huairu could only beg Chen Tian.

Although she hoped he would send her to the afterlife, she still had to keep up the facade of being a good daughter-in-law of the Jia family.

"Chen Tian, Chief Engineer Chen, I beg you, stop!"

Jia Jia Zhangshi’s fat face was even fatter from Chen Tian’s beating, and blood was slowly trickling down.

Although Chen Tian had used quite a bit of strength, he still felt it wasn't enough.

He grabbed her by the collar and said, word by word.

"Listen well, you fat hag, if I ever hear you insult me or my family again, see how I deal with you!"

"You dog, you think you’re something?"

Jia Jia Zhangshi lay collapsed on the ground, moaning.

"Murder, oh, murder!"

"Is there no one to manage this?"

"Is there no one who can uphold justice for me?"

At this moment, Qin Qin Huairu truly hoped she would just be beaten to death.

After all, it was their instigation that had turned her son into what he was today.

The First Uncle, seeing Chen Tian actually dare to hit someone, jumped out and slapped several labels on him.

Lou Lou Xiaoe had seen Bang Geng stealing, so there was no denying it.

And judging by Chen Tian’s intent, he really would go to the station to report it.

If even the First Uncle couldn't control him, there was no need to mention Sha Zhu.

If this really reached the police, Bang Geng’s life would be ruined.

Not only would he have to go to a juvenile detention center for a while.

Once he entered the juvenile detention center, he would have a criminal record.

By then, he probably wouldn't even be able to find a job.

In that case, her plan for her own retirement would fall through.

So, she could only beg Chen Tian, hoping to have her son come out and admit his mistake, and then honestly pay some money.

Perhaps if she did that, the other party would forgive her son.

As for paying the money, she couldn't rely on herself.

But with that fool Sha Zhu around, she wouldn't need to spend her own money.

Sha Zhu was someone she had wrapped around her finger.

As long as she let him take a small advantage, she believed he would be very happy to pay.

"I’m not going out, I’m not going out!"

Bang Geng was being dragged by Qin Qin Huairu, cursing as he went.

"Oh, why is Bang Geng missing a front tooth!"

"Yeah, why is he lisping?"

The people in the Sihe Academy found it quite ridiculous to see him missing a front tooth.

"I’m asking you, did you steal things from Chen Tian’s house!"

The First Uncle’s face was deathly pale.

He had originally wanted to find someone filial for his later years.

But he hadn't expected these people to be so good at courting disaster.

"I didn't steal it, I didn't steal it!"

Bang Geng hurriedly denied it.

"You child, how can you tell such lies to me?"

Seeing him still denying it, Lou Lou Xiaoe scolded him directly.

"Did you forget that I happened to see you when you were stealing today?"

"You were just running out of Chen Tian’s house, carrying a bunch of his things!"

"If you’re not the thief, then who is?"

Lou Lou Xiaoe hated people who weren't honest.

She wouldn't care if you were a child; since you did something wrong, you had to admit it.

"Wow, I didn't expect the Jia family to produce such a grandson!"

"I couldn't tell; you usually look so honest, I didn't expect you to be capable of petty theft!"

"I remember this kid usually goes to Sha Zhu’s house to steal things, but Sha Zhu just doesn't care."

"Didn't you hear Old Yi say? Something about not picking up lost items and not locking doors at night."

"Now that this has happened, I guess we’ll have to add a few more locks to our doors."

Bang Geng was considered ruined at this point.

And the First Uncle’s face became extremely ugly.

"Everyone, come and look, there are bloodstains here."

"I put the things on the counter, but Bang Geng isn't very tall."

"He must have slipped from the stool he was using."

"That’s why he lost a front tooth!"

Hearing this, the others crowded around and sure enough, found the traces left at the scene.

Now, no matter how much Bang Geng denied it, it was a nail in the coffin.

"Qin Qin Huairu, do you have anything else to say?"

Chen Tian looked at this family with a flat expression, feeling only disgust.

"Bang Geng, how did I raise you!"

"Who told you to steal things? Do you have the guts of a lion?"

Qin Qin Huairu felt utterly disappointed; her son was her only hope.

But she hadn't expected that after spending so much time with his grandmother, he would turn out like this.

At this moment, she just wanted to teach her son a lesson, so she grabbed him and started slapping him.

"Ahhhhh!"

"Mom, stop hitting me, it hurts!"

Bang Geng could only wail as he was beaten by his mother, unable to dodge.

"Qin Qin Huairu, you jinx!"

"Who allowed you to hit my grandson!"

"Stop it right now!"

Seeing her precious grandson being treated like this, Jia Jia Zhangshi felt a sharp pain in her heart.

The others nearby watched the spectacle, not intending to intervene.

In this era, entertainment was scarce, and anything that happened could cause a sensation.

This was much more interesting than those stories.

Some people took the opportunity to lecture their own children.

Telling them to be upright people and not to engage in such petty theft.
