The Reborn Sidekick Rejected The Male Lead-Chapter 417 - 406: Compulsory

Gao Shu said, "Lu Jingqiu, have you gone mad, barging into my house and causing trouble without reason?"

"Me, I’ve never hit someone for no reason."

Saying this, he pointed at Xia Lin and said, "Xia Lin, back then in Ten-miles Village, it was you who found Ge Dazhuang that night, right? Slapping you is letting you off easy."

With that, he reached to grab Xia Lin’s hair.

Xia Lin also felt a chill in her shock; Zhuang Yan had indeed spoken.

But faced with the current situation, she didn’t have the luxury of contemplation; having been beaten and kicked by Lu Jingqiu last time, and now in her own home, she was determined not to be at a disadvantage no matter what.

With an angry cry, she started scuffling with Lu Jingqiu.

Gao Shu, being a man, saw the two women fighting and hurried over to break it up.

He naturally tried to pull his wife away, but Xia Lin pushed him aside, wanting to pull Lu Jingqiu but feeling it would be inappropriate.

While hesitating, Mother Xia stepped in, grabbing Lu Jingqiu’s hair from behind.

At that moment, Xue Jianian and Shen Manman rushed over to see Lu Jingqiu being pulled by the mother and daughter, with a lot of her hair already pulled out.

They hurried forward to help.

Shen Manman immediately seized Mrs. Xia’s arm and said, "Let go of my sister right now!"

Mrs. Xia cried out in pain when Shen Manman pinched her, and released her grip from Lu Jingqiu’s hair.

Shen Manman didn’t want to fight an older woman, so she just blocked her from moving forward.

Thinking Xue Jianian would step in to separate the two, Xue Jianian actually delivered a kick to Xia Lin and while beating her, he also accused Xia Lin of her malice, "Ms. Xia, I bear no grudge against you, one from the north and one from the south, we don’t even know each other, and yet you harbour such malice towards me. I had no evidence before, but now, after enduring so many years, you deserve this beating."

Gao Shu, seeing two women attacking his wife, saw no need for restraint and stepped in to pull the two women apart.

Naturally, men are stronger than women. He pulled them away, but Lu Jingqiu refused to back down and went to strike at him; Xue Jianian also tried to scratch Gao Shu.

Gao Shu naturally tried to block, and this action was witnessed by Wei Jincheng, who had just burst in.

Mistaking him for bullying his wife, he delivered a kick to Gao Shu on the spot.

Gao Shu, seeing Wei Jincheng attacking him, also became agitated, and soon the two men were fighting outright.

With no one stopping them now, Lu Jingqiu and Xue Jianian continued fighting.

Seeing her daughter and son-in-law getting bullied, Mother Xia directly bit down on Shen Manman.

Zhuang Yan, who was somewhat satisfied watching Xia Lin and Gao Shu get beaten, suddenly felt a slap from his elder brother, "Aren’t you going to help? Hurry up and pull them apart."

Zhuang Yan was reluctant, but seeing the person who had saved his life being bitten, he had no choice but to step forward and pull Mrs. Xia away.

With Zhuang Chen and Shang Ze pulling them apart, the situation was somewhat stabilized.

Ultimately, the affair ended with a trip to the police station.

Lu Jingqiu and Xue Jianian breaking into someone’s house to fight naturally meant they would be punished.

But on their side, Lu Jingqiu and Xue Jianian called the police and accused Xia Lin of hiring someone to commit murder.

Lu Jingqiu said, "Officer, when I was a sent-down youth in Ten-miles Village, one night I encountered a hooligan on the mountain who wanted to ruin my chastity, and it was Xia Lin who instigated him."

Xue Jianian added, "Before I came to West City, someone from Ten-miles Village deliberately pushed me into the water in our village, nearly drowning me. That person also admitted it was Xia Lin’s doing.

We had no grievances or acquaintances, let alone knowing each other, we’d never even met."

I even filed a police report at that time, and the man was arrested. There should still be a record of it. Now, I want to sue Xia Lin. I have a witness."

"Who is the witness?"

"Zhuang Yan."

Liang Zhuo felt that the matter was quite serious, involving several friends, thus it definitely required careful attention.

Zhuang Yan achieved exactly this effect; he made a detailed statement again at the public security bureau.

However, since Ge Dazhuang was dead, relying solely on Zhuang Yan’s testimony was not sufficient.

The key issue was that Xia Lin refused to admit it.

"Back in the day, as a young girl from our neighboring village, who didn’t know Ge Dazhuang was infamously crooked, involved with widows in the village? Our elders explicitly warned us not to linger around him. I never spoke to Ge Dazhuang, let alone sought him out.

And to ask Zhuang Yan to find him for me, who in their right mind would deliberately seek out a witness for their bad deeds? Officer, this is entirely fabricated by Zhuang Yan; he is just bent on taking revenge on me."

"There’s also Lu Jingqiu and Xue Jianian, everyone knows we don’t get along. We’ve even come here before because of fights. In short, I won’t settle this matter privately regarding their attack on me."

Lu Jingqiu said, "We won’t settle our disputes privately either."

Although Lu Jingqiu couldn’t find Ge Dazhuang, Xue Jianian had a witness, the person who helped her before, Wu Zhengran’s friend, who is now in West City.

There was also the little brother mentioned by Zhuang Yan, but since transportation was not developed and he was deep in the mountains, it would require Zhuang Yan and two officers to make the trip.

But with the assault case unresolved with Xia Lin, they had no choice but to temporarily stay at the public security bureau.

Grandpa Jiang was also busy and had informed Yang Pinggui and even called over Uncle Gao.

Upon hearing it was another fight, several people were involved.

Uncle Gao immediately furrowed his brows.

On the way there, in the same car with Yang Pinggui, he said, "Old Yang, the kids are fighting now and then, what’s going on?"

Yang Pinggui said, "Leader Gao, my daughter Jingqiu and your niece might still be harboring grudges from Gao Shu’s issues in Ten-miles Village, clashing with each other. I heard from Director Liang that this time your niece is unwilling to make peace.

Leader Gao, you see, they are not in school anymore, they are now working. Having a criminal record will affect their workplace, especially since Gao Shu was also involved this time."

Next to him, a young auntie said coldly, "Big Brother Gao, I haven’t interacted much with your niece, but I raised Jingqiu and know her best. If your niece hadn’t done something unforgivable to her, she definitely wouldn’t have gone looking for trouble."

Uncle Gao nodded and said, "I understand, they are not responsible for the household."

In the end, both families arrived at the public security bureau and also met Professor Shi and his wife.

After the adults discussed, they decided to take the kids back home.

But once they understood the gravity of the situation, they realized it was more than mere child’s play; it was a matter related to human life.

Although there was no evidence, Big Uncle Gao clearly believed half of what Lu Jingqiu and Xue Jianian said.

Especially regarding his niece, he had absolutely no trust in her.

As for the assault, the individuals couldn’t afford to have a criminal record, so Uncle Gao sternly took the two back home.

Lu Jingqiu was also taken home by her aunt and uncle.

After the aunt learned the ins and outs, she hugged Jingqiu and cried heartbrokenly, "Are you foolish, you poor child? When you decided to come back, we thought you had moved on. Is it still because of this incident, that Ge Dazhuang, did he do anything to you? If he did, your father and I, along with your uncle, would definitely desecrate his grave."

In her previous life yes, but this time... "I was quite scared that night, but as a child who grew up in a big compound, I could handle a petty hoodlum. It’s just that, in the end, I accidentally pushed the person down a small hill.

The person was later found and taken to the hospital with severe injuries. I was afraid they would come looking for trouble, so I didn’t tell anyone."

The uncle sighed, "You, foolish girl, why should we be afraid of them? Even if you killed him, it would have been justified." fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm

Grandpa Jiang, off to the side, said, "Regardless, it’s good the person is fine. But as for Xia Lin, since she was behind it, we can’t just let this go. If the public security bureau can’t handle her, we’ll deal with her ourselves."

The aunt indignantly added, "That’s right, that Xia surname, not a good thing at all."

Watching the adults’ angry expressions, Lu Jingqiu felt a warm current rush to the tip of her nose, leaving a sour feeling.
