The voice just fell,

Four or five soldiers came out of the family compound, and two or three police officers ran over from outside. They all walked in the direction of Jiang Yuyan.

Following closely behind were Ling's mother and father, and a cool-looking young woman in military uniform with short hair, whose face resembled Ling's mother.

"Oh, Yu Yan, are you alright? Were you scared? These heartless bastards, daring to try and fool me—"

Ling's mother's sharp eyes swept over the soldier who was pinning him down on the ground, while police officers searched his body.

Shortly after, the police found a small packet of unidentified drugs on him.

The onlookers were immediately taken aback.

Good heavens, that bespectacled young man is a real scoundrel!

That's terrifying. They dare to stop people and spread rumors right at the gate of the residential compound. If they encountered other women who were not good at speaking or were introverted, wouldn't they be unable to defend themselves?

"Is this young man crazy? Otherwise, who would come to the gate of the family compound and do this right under the noses of the military? What else could it be but a mentally unstable person?"

"Very likely, but I'm also curious why they specifically chose that woman and not someone else. Maybe, hehe—"

Jiang Muxuan gave the man who had spoken ambiguously and could be misunderstood, his gaze turning cold. He then gave Jiang Muyi a meaningful look.

Jiang Muyi, who had long been unable to contain his temper, walked up to the lewd man without saying a word, raised his hand,

With a "snap",

The slap swelled up the sleazy man's face, showing how powerful it was.

"You, you... what right do you have to hit me?"

"Officer, officer, this man is sick. He hit me for no reason. Arrest him too!"

Jiang Muyi sneered.

Why did I hit you?

"With so many people here, why did I specifically target you and not someone else? Isn't it your own problem?"

The onlookers: "......."

Why does this sound so familiar?

Uh, isn't that what that sleazy guy just said?

The sleazy man: "..."

He was so angry that he was trembling all over, his fists clenched. He wanted to play the hero, but he was also afraid that he would fail to be a hero and would only get beaten up for nothing.

After weighing the pros and cons, the sleazy man finally covered his face and ran away.

Just as the young police officer with glasses was about to take him away, Jiang Yuyan called out to stop him.

The police looked at her, their expressions softening towards this woman who had almost been victimized.

"Comrade, is there anything else?"

Jiang Yuyan walked over, her eyes flashing coldly as she looked at the silent young man with his head down.

"Officer, I want to report this man. He's a human trafficker. He just used emotional appeals to lure innocent women into his trap, hoping to abduct them."

"I'm not!" The bespectacled young man looked up in shock and hurriedly defended himself.

"Officer, I'm really not a human trafficker. If I were, may I die a horrible death—"

Jiang Yuyan interrupted him, "Oh ho, now you're promoting feudal superstition again, that's an even bigger crime."

When the police officer saw the bespectacled young man acting evasively, looking guilty and unable to explain himself, he immediately realized that what the officer said might really be true.

The bespectacled young man, seeing the policeman's appearance, immediately became frightened and stammered an explanation.

"I'm really not a human trafficker, I just... I don't know that woman at all, I—"

"You say you're not a human trafficker, but you clearly don't know me, yet you managed to hide at the entrance of the residential compound, and as soon as you saw me, you ran out immediately. What? Do you arrest people based on their looks?"

Jiang Yuyan didn't hesitate to expose his flimsy lies.

"Pfft."

Someone in the crowd chuckled softly.

The bespectacled young man's eyes darted around. "No, I... I do—"

"When did this place start getting this lively?"

The eccentric Madam Li approached from a short distance with a group of people, her eyes landing on a woman even more beautiful than Yao Yao.

No wonder Ling Wenchen chose this brat over Yao Yao.

Haha! Men are indeed men, a bunch of beasts who judge by appearance.

Jiang Yuyan had met Madam Li before; the last time was also at the Ling family's gate.

She disliked the way Madam Li looked at people, as if she were some noble person and everyone else was lowly and unworthy to stand in the same air as her.

However, now is not the time to pay attention to her.

Jiang Yuyan glanced at Madam Li briefly before turning her gaze back to the young man with glasses.

But then he noticed that his gaze was fixed on—

Following his gaze, one could see the woman standing behind Madam Li.

Jiang Yuyan remembered her; she had come with Madam Li before, and her name was Li Yaoyao.

Perhaps because her gaze was too focused, Li Yaoyao, who had been looking down, suddenly raised her head and met her eyes.

In that instant, Jiang Yuyan felt a chilling malice assail her.

And this malice seems to have come from Li Yaoyao's side.

Just as Jiang Yuyan was taking a closer look, Li Yaoyao had already turned her gaze away and stood quietly behind Madam Li with her head down, not saying a word.

Madam Li looked at Ling's mother.

"Why are you all standing at the front gate? Didn't you say your daughter-in-law and her family were coming today?"

Ling's mother chuckled, "Of course, my daughter-in-law can go wherever she wants, as long as she's happy. It's not like she can just stand at the front door; even if she wants to, it's not impossible."

Madam Li: "..."

Damn it, are all the people in the Ling family sick?

Li Yaoyao found it extremely grating to hear Ling's mother repeatedly calling her "daughter-in-law." She kept twisting her fingers, biting her lip until it bled, but she didn't let go.

At this point, the police officers felt that it was inappropriate for him to be standing at the gate of the residential compound, so they decided to take him back to the station for further questioning.

"Comrade Jiang, we'll take this one with us for now. We'll see what happens later—"

Madam Li suddenly interrupted him.

"By the way, what happened here? Tell me what could have attracted so many people to watch?"

Ling's mother frowned.

"Mrs. Li, didn't you hear what the police officer said—"

Madam Li interrupted her, "What? This is a scandal involving your daughter-in-law. Are you afraid he'll say something that will affect Ling Wenchen?"

Jiang Yuyan gently pulled back Ling's mother, who was about to step forward to argue, but Ling's mother grabbed her hand back and grinned foolishly.

"Mrs. Li, as a public official, doesn't even know the cause of the matter. Is your habit of making things up as you see fit to solve problems?"

While the others were still pondering the meaning behind Jiang Yuyan's words, Ling's mother, who understood, burst into laughter.

"Yu Yan, the habit you mentioned seems to be something that Madam Li used to do quite often."

Madam Li sneered.

"Little brat, you've got a sharp tongue. But I'm not just making things up; I just don't want the innocent, pitiful person who was heartlessly abandoned by someone to get justice."

The bespectacled young man, as if grasping at a last straw, shouted loudly,

"Yes, I am innocent. They outnumbered me and forced me to change my story because she married a military officer."

"Ling Wenchen, taking advantage of his position as a military officer, stole the woman I loved. Now that I've finally come to find the woman I love, she's already—"

The bespectacled young man covered his face and 'cried bitterly,' perfectly portraying a pitiful man abandoned by his 'beloved woman.'
