Chapter 45: Mistaking the Person Again

Seeing this situation, Xu Damao's nosebleed was about to pour out.

Because it was dark, Qin Huairu couldn't see clearly who the man in front of her was, assuming it was Zhao Gangzi, and she kept leaning forward, whispering softly,

"The sky is growing late, yet I have been driven out of my home; I don't know if I can be taken in here..."

"It's so late at night, and so cold, I don't know if there is a warm embrace to be found..."

Just these few sentences were enough to make Xu Damao lose all control.

He immediately lunged forward, but just as he rushed over, Qin Huairu suddenly dodged away and took off the jacket she was wearing, revealing the tattered clothes underneath.

She stood directly outside the window and began to scream loudly with a sobbing tone.

"Help! Someone is acting like a hooligan! Someone is trying to do something indecent to a woman!"

"Help! Help!!!"

As soon as Qin Huairu's cries were heard.

Shazhu grabbed a wooden club and charged over, and even Jia Dongxu was so excited he could barely contain himself; at this moment, as if miraculously recovered, he crawled faster than Shazhu could run.

On the other side, Yi Zhonghai also received the signal.

He immediately stood in the courtyard and shouted loudly: "Neighbors, stop sleeping! Something major has happened in our Siheyuan, someone is acting like a hooligan!"

"Such a thing is intolerable to heaven and earth! Everyone come out!"

"It must be dealt with severely!"

Following the First Uncle's rallying cry, the entire Siheyuan was instantly lit up.

After all, acting like a hooligan or fooling around with someone else's spouse was the most sensitive issue in recent years, and the most intolerable.

In serious cases, one might even face a firing squad!

Although Yi Zhonghai was now known by everyone as a eunuch in name only, he was still officially the First Uncle of the Siheyuan; furthermore, this matter was so sensitive that even the Second Uncle and Third Uncle, who were at odds with him, came out draped in their clothes.

"Old Yi! What's going on? Who is acting like a hooligan?"

Liu Haizhong held a flashlight and swept it around wildly.

"It's Zhao Gangzi! Zhao Gangzi is acting like a hooligan, trying to do something indecent to Qin Huairu in the middle of the night; she is a pregnant woman!"

"He must be caught and reported, and expelled from the Siheyuan!"

Yi Zhonghai wore a look of profound grief.

His tightly clenched fists could not be relaxed for a long time.

Upon hearing this, Liu Haizhong was somewhat skeptical; although he had suffered a setback at Zhao Gangzi's hands last time, he didn't believe Zhao Gangzi would do such a thing.

There might be something fishy going on here.

However, seeing everyone grabbing tools and rushing toward the Middle Courtyard, the Second Uncle also hurried over; after all, he hadn't been getting along with Zhao Gangzi lately, and this was a good opportunity!

A crowd swarmed into the Middle Courtyard, with Shazhu and Jia Dongxu in the lead; especially Jia Dongxu, who used the Iron Head Technique to smash open the door of Zhao Gangzi's house and crawled in like a cricket.

He shouted loudly: "Zhao Gangzi, I curse your ancestors for eight generations! You didn't even spare my pregnant wife; I'll fight you to the death!"

"I, Shazhu, hate hooligans most in this life; since you've fallen into my hands today, I will definitely kick your third leg off!"

Shazhu raised his club and rushed in, beating everything in sight.

Xu Damao, who hadn't even touched a hand inside, didn't know what was happening before he was pinned down by the crowd pouring in.

Immediately, screams rang out one after another.

Qin Huairu was also comforted by several older women and brought out; at this moment, Qin Huairu deliberately feigned a frail appearance, her face tear-stained, and the clothes she wore had many large holes.

Looking at it, it was definitely torn by someone!

"Sob sob sob, I was just preparing to go to the toilet in the Middle Courtyard when I was suddenly dragged into the room by Zhao Gangzi; thank goodness you all came in time..."

"Otherwise, the child in my belly and I would have, sob sob sob..."

Qin Huairu really acted the part well.

It immediately ignited the anger of everyone present, each of them gritting their teeth and clenching their fists, wishing they could tear Zhao Gangzi to pieces!

"You can know a person's face but not their heart; I never expected Zhao Gangzi to be such a thing!"

"I really misjudged him!"

"Such a person should be shot; to do such a despicable thing, he has truly disgraced the Siheyuan!"

"Old Zhao was such a good man, how did he raise such a thing? Sigh, it's disgraceful, truly disgraceful!"

Under Yi Zhonghai's incitement, countless people began to verbally attack and condemn Zhao Gangzi, even dragging his ancestors of eight generations into it.

If Old Zhao were still alive, he would surely have been angered to the point of vomiting blood and collapsing.

And Zhao Gangzi, who was still sleeping in Xu Damao's house, saw the scene at this moment, and he finally understood the conspiracy of that old dog, Yi Zhonghai.

This scheme was truly too poisonous!

To think of such a ruthless and vicious tactic!

It refreshed Zhao Gangzi's worldview once again.

It was fortunate that Xu Damao took the bullet this time; Zhao Gangzi even suspected if he had good fortune on his side. Last time, Shazhu wanted to dress as a ghost to scare him, but was blocked by the Second Uncle, Liu Haizhong.

This time, such a ruthless tactic also allowed him to escape without any risk.

"Isn't this Zhao Gangzi? Why is he here? Shouldn't you be...!?"

Suddenly someone exclaimed, and the crowd turned their heads, abruptly seeing Zhao Gangzi standing there safe and sound.

And Zhao Gangzi was also playing dumb, looking at the crowd and asking, "What happened? What's going on?"

The First Uncle's face turned dark.

He was momentarily confused; how did this Zhao Gangzi suddenly end up outside?

Then who was the guy inside?

Before the crowd could get to the bottom of it, Xu Damao was carried out of Zhao Gangzi's house.

At this moment, Xu Damao was nearly fainting, but his hands were still clutching his crotch tightly.

Look at the expression on his face.

It is as if he has just experienced a world war.

"No, what is going on here? Old Yi, didn't you say Zhao Gangzi was acting like a hooligan?"

"How did this suddenly turn into Xu Damao?"

Liu Haizhong narrowed his eyes, as if he already knew the sequence of events for this incident.

Shazhu and Jia Dongxu were also stunned; they had originally wanted to give Zhao Gangzi a good lesson, so why did Xu Damao suddenly jump out to cause trouble?

Everyone looked at one another, not knowing what to do at this moment.

The matter had already developed to this point, and there was no room to back down.

"Ahem! Regardless of who it is, acting like a hooligan is wrong!"

"I didn't expect that Xu Damao would not only be bold enough to lust after women, but actually dare to commit such an act; he must be punished properly!"

Yi Zhonghai let out a roar, bit the bullet and walked over, and kicked the injured Xu Damao again.

Although they hadn't succeeded in dealing with Zhao Gangzi, they still had to find a scapegoat; it was just a pity that Xu Damao hadn't done anything and yet had been beaten into this state.

Furthermore, with the public feeling indignant, regardless of who it was, acting like a hooligan was a serious crime, so they clamored to send Xu Damao to the Security Section.

Qin Huairu also decided to just go along with the mistake; since things had already reached this point, pushing the blame onto Xu Damao would at least allow her to get some compensation or something.
