"What is all this?"
Wang Yu looked helpless. Weren't Wang Jinhui and his wife supposed to be in the provincial capital? Why had they suddenly returned to the county town?
And more importantly, they were beaten by Wu Lingling and Wang Ling?
Their combined weight probably didn't even match that of his corpulent cousin.
And his wife, she was a quintessential shrew who knew how to curse. It was obvious at first glance that her "combat power" was not to be underestimated.
These two, combined, had actually beaten up two young girls?
Was this a joke?
Wang Yu muttered to himself as he quickly followed the public security bureau officers to the county bureau.
"Yo, Xiao Wang, you're visiting again? You come here so often, are you treating this place like home?"
Captain Miao Wanli, who was leading the way, saw Wang Yu and immediately started to tease him.
He had always had a good impression of Wang Yu, not just because the equipment he had donated before had been helpful.
The key was that unlike other young people his age, he didn't get into fights impulsively.
Instead, he was very considerate, polite, and handled matters in an orderly fashion.
Even the ruffians like Brother Hu and his gang, who used to be restless if they didn't stir up trouble, had found legitimate jobs under him and turned over a new leaf.
This had indirectly helped him solve quite a few problems!
Naturally, this made Captain Miao Wanli very satisfied with Wang Yu.
"Alas, a little accident happened," Wang Yu said with an embarrassed smile, rubbing his hands.
"That wasn't just a little accident, was it?"
Miao Wanli stifled a laugh. "Your little girlfriend was a bit too rough. She made a nearly 200-pound fat man do the splits. That was really... Four of our colleagues had to go up and help him up from the ground."
Saying this, Miao Wanli could no longer hold back his laughter. Clearly recalling the scene, he chuckled again.
"Uh, cough, cough, this... it was an accident, all an accident!"
Wang Yu forced a smile. What else could he say now?
He followed Miao Wanli into the bureau and saw Wu Lingling and Wang Ling sitting in a corner.
Opposite them, Wang Jinhui's wife, his cousin-in-law, was holding the back of her head and chattering incessantly.
Wang Jinhui himself stood rigidly by the wall, his face serious, motionless like a wooden carving.
Judging by his posture... Wang Yu knew his injuries must be quite serious.
Because he knew Wang Jinhui was the type who would rather lie down than sit, and sit rather than stand. Yet, now, he was choosing to stand by the wall, leaving an empty chair beside him...
He must be in a lot of pain, right?
The splits? Lingling really had a creative way of doing things!
Wang Yu pictured the scene of Wang Jinhui, a two-hundred-pound fat man, doing the splits, and couldn't help but smile.
That was truly tearing himself apart!
"Captain Miao, are they alright?"
Wang Yu walked up and asked Miao Wanli.
"Nothing serious, just sign a paper and you can take them away," Miao Wanli said to Wang Yu in a relaxed tone.
"After all, your cousin initiated the assault. Considering you are all relatives, it's best to resolve the conflict internally, with both sides agreeing not to pursue further action.
However, you need to talk to your partner. She shouldn't provoke people who have a significant weight advantage over her. It's easy to get hurt, and we advocate against using violence to solve problems..."
Captain Miao Wanli was still talking, but Wang Yu's ears registered nothing.
His entire attention was now focused on the phrase "your cousin initiated the assault."
His gaze fell on Wang Ling's small face. The bright red handprint, although treated by the public security bureau, was still very clear.
There was no doubt that Wang Jinhui had done it. Wang Ling and Wu Lingling wouldn't possibly slap themselves for fun, right?
Seeing this, Wang Yu felt a surge of heat rush to his head.
He abruptly took three rapid steps and rushed in front of Wang Jinhui, roaring angrily, "You dared to hit Xiao Ling!"
"You... Wang Yu?"
Wang Jinhui was stunned at first, then came to his senses with a cold sneer. "So what? She's just an outsider who will eventually get married. So what if I hit her!
But you, you dared to let your woman sneak attack me, you're quite brave! Aren't you afraid of being expelled from the clan?"
My woman?
Wang Yu blinked. He saw Wu Lingling's face turn red beside him. It seemed the other party had misunderstood. However, he didn't have time to explain or dwell on that.
Instead, he unceremoniously grabbed Wang Jinhui's collar. "You damn bastard, Xiao Ling is my sister, my family. What right do you have, you fat pig, to hit her?
Never mind Lingling, even if it was me, I would have no hesitation in beating you!"
"You dare to touch me? I'm telling you, my father is dead."
Wang Jinhui looked at Wang Yu fearlessly, trying to sneer and issue a threat, but probably because of the injury to his sensitive area, his sweet cake-like face contorted into the shape of a salted cake...
"What does your father's death have to do with me? We haven't been in contact for a long time anyway. I... wait! Do you mean you inherited the responsibility of managing the ancestral hall and clan registry?"
Wang Yu suddenly realized.
The Wang family he belonged to was a prominent clan in the area, with its own ancestral hall and lineage records.
However, Wang Yu had never paid attention to these things. When he and his sister were in dire straits, none of these so-called relatives had ever helped.
He had never cared about the saying that the poor, even with ten grappling hooks, couldn't reach their kin.
But Wang Yu vaguely remembered that the family's ancestral hall and clan registry seemed to be managed by Wang Jinhui's father's branch. Now that he suddenly mentioned his father was dead and combined with his previous words, it was not difficult to guess that this brat had inherited the ancestral hall and clan registry, which was why he was acting so pompous.
"See how powerful I am now?"
Seeing Wang Yu fall silent, Wang Jinhui became emboldened. "If you don't want to be removed from the clan registry, you'd better have your woman apologize to me. As for your sister, she's an outsider who will eventually get married, so what... Hey, where are you going?
Did you hear what I said? Hey!"
Before Wang Jinhui could finish speaking, Wang Yu turned and left.
He gently comforted Wang Ling and then took Wu Lingling's hand.
Led by Captain Miao Wanli, Wang Yu completed all the procedures and took Wu Lingling and the others out of the public security bureau.
As for Wang Jinhui's constant nagging and whining from behind, he completely ignored it, as if he hadn't heard it, and remained silent throughout until they were outside the bureau.
"Brother, I'm sorry for causing you trouble," Wang Ling said timidly to Wang Yu.
Wang Yu gently stroked her little head and said softly, "It's okay, Xiao Ling, don't worry too much."
After comforting Wang Ling, Wang Yu looked up and met Wu Lingling's gaze.
"Are you just going to let it go?"
Wu Lingling's face flushed as their eyes met, but she still asked.
"Of course not," Wang Yu nodded, then pondered for a moment. "You take Xiao Ling back to rest first. I have my own arrangements."
"Okay, let me know if you need anything," Wu Lingling nodded and took Wang Ling home.
Wang Yu, with a cold smile, returned to the factory and, without a word, summoned Brother Hu and Boss Zhao's gangs.
"I have a task for you. Without violating any laws or regulations, I want you to deal with two people for me."
Once the two gangs were gathered, Wang Yu threw a stack of bills at them without further ado.
"Here's 5000 yuan. Whoever satisfies me gets the money!"
