Chapter 101: Chapter 100: Lu Xiao Takes Action, A Complete Divorce

Lu Xiao explained the situation, and Li nodded.

“Li, I’m worried that father and son will get desperate and do something to my aunt, or even my in-laws. We’re leaving next week, after all. Nothing can go wrong at a critical time like this.”

Li was a man of his word. He patted his chest and said, “Brother Lu, your business is my business. Don’t worry, I’ll keep an eye on that Zhao guy and his bastard son!

If they dare to cause trouble or get physical, I’ll bring my men over immediately and handle it as disturbing the peace and threatening the personal safety of others!

Coincidentally, I’ve heard a thing or two about the trouble his son, Zhao Baozhu, got into in the next county. He’s no good. If he dares to act up on the island, we can settle old and new scores at the same time.”

With assurances from both sides, Lu Xiao felt much more at ease.

This was a two-pronged approach: official support out in the open, and someone keeping watch in the shadows. He’d like to see how that father-son duo would even try to make a move.

Sure enough, not two days later, Zhao Baozhu returned in a storm of fury.

The guy was big and brawny, with a brutish face and a thuggish air about him. As soon as he got back, he heard his father’s tearful, exaggerated account of events and instantly flew into a rage.

“She’s lost her mind! That old hag dares to ask for a divorce? And split the property? In her dreams!”

Zhao Baozhu rolled up his sleeves and stormed out.

“Dad, you just wait! I’m going to drag that bitch back here and break her legs! And that meddling niece and her man, I’ll take care of them too!”

Zhao Youcai pretended to stop him. “Baozhu, don’t be rash. It seems like they have backup over there…”

“Backup? Pfft! On this turf, who the hell have I ever been afraid of?”

Zhao Baozhu spat on the ground, then led two of his equally thuggish buddies straight for the Su Family’s small courtyard, full of menace.

The moment he reached the gate, Zhao Baozhu kicked the door and started screaming curses. “Su Yufen! You shameless whore! Get the hell out here! And that little bitch from the Su family! You dare incite my parents to divorce? I’ll rip your goddamn mouths off!”

The door shuddered with a loud BANG BANG from the kicks. Su Yufen’s face went pale with fright, and she instinctively shrank back.

Su Tang quickly grabbed her. “Auntie, don’t be afraid. Lu Xiao is here. Stick to the plan.”

Mr. and Mrs. Su also stood up nervously.

Just then, Lu Xiao calmly walked up behind the door and yanked it open!

Zhao Baozhu, who had been winding up for another kick, nearly stumbled.

When he saw that the person who opened the door was a tall, stern-faced stranger, he froze for a second before becoming even more arrogant. “Who the fuck are you? Get out of the way! Tell Su Yufen to come out!”

Lu Xiao looked at him coldly, as if staring at a pile of trash. “You must be Zhao Baozhu. Bringing men here, kicking down a door, verbally abusing and threatening a woman… What do you think you’re doing?”

“What am I doing? I’m here to teach my own disobedient wife a lesson! It’s none of your damn business!”

Zhao Baozhu reached out to shove Lu Xiao aside.

Lu Xiao didn’t even move. He simply grabbed Zhao Baozhu’s wrist in a reverse grip. Zhao Baozhu felt as if his wrist was caught in an iron vise and let out a pained shriek, “OW! You dare lay a hand on me?!”

The two thugs he’d brought with him started to step forward to help, but a single sweep of Lu Xiao’s icy gaze made them flinch, and they didn’t dare to move.

“Lay a hand on you?”

Lu Xiao sneered. “I’m acting in self-defense. You trespassed on private property with the intent to harm. Everyone saw it.”

As soon as he finished speaking, several neighbors who had been disturbed by the commotion peeked out of their homes, pointing and murmuring.

“You! You’re all in this together!”

Zhao Youcai rushed over as well, pointing at Lu Xiao and Su Tang. “It was you two! You sowed discord!”

“Sowed discord?”

Encouraged by Su Tang, Su Yufen bravely stepped forward. She rolled up her sleeves to reveal her still-visible bruises and cried out to the onlooking neighbors and the few neighborhood committee officials who had arrived after hearing the commotion.

“Everyone, look! Look at what Zhao Youcai did to me! And his son, the first thing he does when he comes back is try to beat me! The representatives from the Women’s Federation said that domestic violence is against the law! I want to divorce him! This father and son are trying to drive me to my death!”

Just then, a strong female voice called out, “Comrade Su Yufen, don’t be afraid! We will see that justice is done for you!”

The director of the Women’s Federation appeared, parting the crowd as she walked in with two of her staff, her face a mask of righteous indignation.

Immediately after, a series of sharp whistle blows rang out. Li arrived on the scene with two other officers, his face grim. “What’s going on? Who’s causing trouble here? Threatening a female comrade’s personal safety?”

When Zhao Baozhu saw that even the police had arrived, he was completely dumbfounded.

No matter how much of a thug he was, he wouldn’t dare get physical in front of the police!

Zhao Youcai was so scared his legs were turning to jelly. He never expected things to escalate this far!

The director of the Women’s Federation pointed at Zhao Youcai and his son, declaring righteously, “Officer, it’s them! Zhao Youcai has a long history of domestic violence against his wife, Comrade Su Yufen. The evidence is irrefutable!
