She shot out her hands and clawed at Lin Jiandong’s face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You shameless bastard!

Trying to keep my money? You think I’m some kind of pushover? If you don’t pay up today, I’m not leaving your house!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she spoke, she slapped Chen Shulan a few more times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Shulan tried to fight back, but Li Aihong’s husband grabbed her hands, holding her still so Li Aihong could hit her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Shulan looked pitifully at her husband.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Jiandong just hung his head, cowering off to the side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was covered in injuries himself; how could he possibly worry about Chen Shulan?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Chen Shulan looked over, he even shrank back further, trying to make himself less noticeable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Shulan burst into tears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her body ached, and her heart was filled with grievance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’How did I end up marrying such a gutless man?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The men present could hardly stand to watch the scene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was just too pathetic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Shulan was slapped hard several times. Li Aihong then seized the chance to leave several bloody scratches on her face before kicking her a few times for good measure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had to be said, after that combination of attacks, Li Aihong felt much better.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’That felt so good.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The frustration she’d been holding in for so long was finally released.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While Chen Shulan was being beaten, she was surrounded by people from the Qingshan Team, but not a single one stepped forward to help.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Beiguo also remained silent. Only when he saw that the beating had gone on long enough did he shout.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s enough! Stop it! If you keep causing trouble, I’ll send you all to the Public Security Bureau. You can make a scene there!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Li Aihong seized the opportunity to slap Chen Shulan one last time before stopping and standing quietly to the side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Chen Beiguo intervene, Chen Shulan immediately burst into aggrieved tears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Team Leader, you have to stand up for us!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They’re bullying us!

The evidence that you were selling children is ironclad. You’d better start thinking about what you’re going to tell the police!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Off to the side, Chen JianShe whispered to the person next to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Trafficking children is a serious crime. They might even get a bullet to the head for this. The Lin Family is done for.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The two Lin children will be orphans now. How pitiful.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They might end up just like Sweet Girl and Xiao Yang today.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Shulan’s heart dropped when she heard this.

Please, don’t report us to the authorities. We really know we were wrong.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Jiandong was also truly terrified. He had actually seen a child trafficker get executed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The memory of that scene nearly scared him to death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He dropped straight to his knees, tears and snot streaming down his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His face was a mask of repentance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Team Leader, we want to settle this privately! Please, don’t report us!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m the only son in my family, I can’t let anything happen to me! Team Leader, I truly know I was wrong.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crowd looked on with contempt. People like him were truly despicable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone clearly remembered how arrogant Lin Jiandong had been, right before Li Aihong had admitted to the deal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that there was proof, he dropped to his knees without a second thought.
