Lawyer: Start with legal retaliation against infidelity!

"What should we do?!" Old Zhang asked in a deep voice, his hands gripping the steering wheel tightly.

Xu De frowned, lost in thought.

Li Xiang looked around at the densely packed crowd and his heart sank to the bottom.

Should we hand Wang Mei back? That won't do.

Wang Mei will definitely be abused if she goes back!

What else can we do?

Just then, someone outside picked up a stone and threw it violently at the car.

"Bang!"

The car window shattered, waking the person.

"Open the door, I'll go negotiate!"

Li Xiang took a deep breath and gestured for Lao Zhang to open the door.

He then walked to the front door of the minibus.

Upon seeing him appear, the villagers of Lijia Village once again surrounded him, their faces filled with even greater anger.

"Hand them over!"

"That was bought by the Li family, what right do you have to snatch them away?"

"Where's Li Erniu? His wife ran away and he still hasn't come!?"

"..."

Seeing this, Li Xiang could only take a deep breath, raise his hands, and say with a grim expression:

"Quiet down, listen to me!"

"Wang Mei is not Li Erniu's wife. She was a victim who was trafficked ten years ago, and now her relatives have come looking for her..."

Upon hearing this...

The elderly couple squeezed through the crowd again, and seeing Li Xiang blocking the car door, they immediately sat on the ground and started wailing and crying:

"Oh, why is my life so miserable!"

"I finally saved up a few thousand yuan to buy my son a wife, and she's running away so soon... I can't live anymore!"

"You officials are just bullying me! You won't stop until you've ruined my family!"

Wang Mei was sold to Li Erniu's family.

The two people in front of them are Li Erniu's parents: his father, Li Youcai, and his mother, Zhang Cui.

The two sat on the ground, wailing and slapping their thighs as they cried.

Li Xiang's face instantly turned ashen, like a pig's liver.

"This is illegal!"

"You are obstructing police enforcement!"

The villagers around him didn't seem to care at all, and even a fifty-year-old man stepped forward like a scoundrel.

"What's illegal? There's no law here!"

The man said with great dissatisfaction:

"My wife bought it too, for 800 yuan!"

"All the wives in our village were bought, are you going to arrest them all?!"

"Even the police can't be unreasonable!"

Li Xiang: "You!"

His face instantly flushed red, and his eyes were filled with suppressed anger.

the back seat of the car.

"Where is the Party Secretary of this area? Where did he go?"

Xu De stood up, glanced at the situation outside, frowned, and sensed that something was wrong.

The policeman beside him took a deep breath and casually said:

"Four village secretaries came to Lijia Village, two resigned, one died in an accident while going up the mountain, and the fourth one hasn't arrived yet."

Upon hearing this, Xu De gained a general understanding of the place.

No wonder this place is so ignorant...

but.

Since the other party is ignorant, I might as well try to take advantage of them.

Thinking of this.

Xu De suddenly walked forward. The police behind him were slightly taken aback, and then quickly tried to stop him.

"Attorney Xu, where are you going?"

"Let's see if we can take the person away."

Xu De said a few words and walked to the front of the car.

Outside the car.

"People can't leave!"

Li Youcai spoke arrogantly, his tone full of aggression.

Upon hearing this, Li Xiang was about to say something, but unexpectedly, a voice suddenly came from behind him.

"They didn't run away, they're still here."

He turned around and saw Xu De getting out of the car with a gentle smile and standing beside him.

Then, Xu De looked at Li Youcai and continued:

"The police uphold the law. You can't be afraid the police will take your daughter-in-law away, can you? Even if they do, it won't change anything!"

Upon hearing this...

Li Youcai snorted coldly and crossed his arms.

"The person is already in the car, and you're still saying you didn't kidnap them!?"

"This isn't stealing people; it's clearly implementing the official welfare policy," Xu De added.

Welfare...policy? What the heck is that?

Li Youcai was stunned, and he wasn't the only one.

Even the other villagers around were momentarily stunned, some unable to react.

Li Xiang, however, gave Xu De a strange look, glancing at him as if he were talking nonsense.

"The country now implements compulsory nine-year education."

"Your grandson is seven years old and meets the enrollment criteria, but he needs to have a household registration to attend school."

"The child's mother doesn't have a household registration, so how can the child be registered? That's why the police came to take her away and get her household registration sorted out first."

Xu De said without batting an eye.

Upon hearing this, everyone in front of him froze, and even policeman Li Xiang's eyes twitched, and he subconsciously looked at him.

The villagers of Lijia Village frowned. They didn't understand the law... but something about what the other party said felt strange.

Besides, the policeman just now clearly mentioned things related to human trafficking...

Could it be that this person in front of them is trying to fool them?

Unexpectedly, before they could think, Xu De suddenly looked at Li Youcai and asked:

"Li Youcai, have you registered your grandson's household registration?"

Li Youcai was stunned for a long time, then shook his head hesitantly.

"no."

"Do you want your grandson to go to school?" Xu De asked again.

Li Youcai wanted to shake his head again, but the other person spoke again the next second:

"School is free. If you do well in your studies, the school will give you money. Moreover, once you register your household, you will receive rice, flour, and cooking oil as subsidies. All of these are free."

"Even after completing their studies, they can return to their village and become officials."

Li Youcai's eyes widened immediately, and Zhang Cui stood up from the ground.

"Are they really giving out money?"

"Of course it's true." Xu De nodded.

The two were somewhat tempted, like the old man picking up eggs at the pharmacy.

only.......

Li Youcai's eyes were still somewhat wary as he looked at the minibus in front of him.

"How about we just settle for it..."

Xu De interrupted him, glanced around, and then said:

"If you can't bear to part with your child... that's actually easy to handle."

"Just pay a fine of 20,000 yuan."

"Twenty thousand!?"

Li Youcai paused, his face showing astonishment, as if he had heard something shocking.

They didn't even spend 20,000 yuan to buy Wang Mei!

"What if we need to register the household registration..."

Zhang Cui suddenly spoke, her eyes still showing some wariness, but it was clear that she was more afraid of being fined than of running away.

When will they be back?

"If time permits, I'll be back tonight."

Xu De spoke first, then before the other party could speak, he continued:

"Are you afraid your daughter-in-law will run away?!"

He then laughed heartily.

"Don't forget, the child is right here. How could she run away? Where could she run to?!"

The moment those words were spoken.

Their previous vigilance immediately lessened considerably, and Li Youcai and Zhang Cui's brows relaxed slightly.

The residents surrounding him also thought what he said made sense.

"Yes, if you have money, you can leave your children at home."

"She can't just abandon her child!"

"You can run away, but you can't hide. I don't think there's any problem..."

"..."

More than ten people began whispering among themselves, without any sign of suspicion.

Li Xiang glanced at Xu De with a slight click of his tongue, his eyes twitching slightly.

The other party's tactics are simple: first, make up some excuse to calm the other party down and get them off the emotional state. It doesn't matter whether the other party believes the excuse or not. The key is to intimidate them at the end!

When people are in a state of panic, they are most likely to accept some "taken-for-granted" answers. In their minds, having a child can keep Wang Mei under control, which is almost an ironclad rule!

So as long as they subconsciously believe this answer... even if they know the police's true purpose, their attitude will be much more lenient!

"This...is he really a top student who graduated from a prestigious university?"

"Do universities teach these things?"

A strange feeling welled up inside Li Xiang.

But who cares? As long as it gets people out, it's a good move!

Just as Li Xiang breathed a sigh of relief, the situation eased, and a turning point appeared...

A furious roar suddenly rang out.

"Steal her? Who dares to steal my woman?!"

"Release them!"

The sound rang out in everyone's ears like rolling thunder.

Everyone turned to look back and then made way for them.

A man with a fleshy face, standing 1.7 meters tall, and with single-eyelid, slanted eyes walked in from outside, a hint of malice flashing in his eyes.

He looked about 70% like Li Youcai, dressed in simple clothes and wearing muddy work boots.

He was striding towards us, and he was already close in just a few steps.

Xu De's eyes narrowed.

This person... must be Li Youcai's son, Li Erniu!

"Where did they go?! I paid for them!"

Li Erniu flew into a rage and shoved Li Xiang toward getting into the car.

He was a middle-aged man who worked in the fields year-round, and his strength was far beyond that of Li Xiang, so he immediately staggered.

"Captain Li!" The police officers behind him quickly stepped forward to block him.

Li Youcai and Zhang Cui also stopped people.

"Erniu, this is a misunderstanding!"

"They're here to deliver money for registering a household registration..."

The two men and the villagers of Lijia Village stopped the man and then pulled him aside to explain what Xu De had said earlier.

Li Erniu's eyes shifted between light and shadow as he looked at Xu De and Li Xiang, lost in thought for a long time.

He then spoke:

"I'm worried, let me get in the car and go with her!"

Upon hearing this, Li Xiang paused slightly, then frowned. He glanced at Xu De, only to find that the other man was also looking at him.

He thought for a moment, then spoke:

"OK."

We can compromise and let the other party follow if they want.

After all, once they leave Lijia Village and return to the police station, Li Erniu's opinion will no longer be up to him!

"Get in the car, we'll try to be back tonight."

Li Xiang stepped aside and said with a forced smile.

Li Erniu's eyes flickered, and he remained silent as he stepped onto the stairs.

When the people in the car saw Li Erniu get in, their hearts tightened, and the eyes of several policemen became slightly wary.

Li Erniu ignored these people and continued on his way.

Until the other party is at the very back.

Noticing the person in front of her, Wang Mei buried her head even deeper, her body trembling and her breathing rapid.

And Wang Qiang...

At this moment, Wang Qiang looked at Li Erniu with his eyes fixed on him, and his arm around Wang Mei was as strong as steel, tightening its grip even more.

Just as Li Xiang was about to tell Lao Zhang to drive, a deep voice came from behind him.

"Get off with me!"

At this moment, Li Erniu's face revealed a ferocious look, and his slanted eyes showed a fierce glint. He grabbed Wang Mei's wrist and tried to drag her out.

Get off...get off the bus!?

Are you not going to follow along?

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and in that moment of surprise, Wang Mei was suddenly pulled out of Wang Qiang's arms, revealing her terrified face.

"Get off the bus right now! Forget about registering your household registration, come back with me!"

Li Erniu was as stubborn as a mule, grabbing people and dragging them outside.

Li Xiang reacted instantly and immediately said, "Stop him!"

The police officers beside him reacted quickly, but Wang Qiang reacted even faster.

The moment Wang Qiang felt the person in his arms being pulled, he immediately flew into a rage, stood up, and bit the other person's hand.

"what!"

Li Erniu cried out in pain and instinctively released his grip.

Immediately afterwards, the thin Wang Qiang used his shoulder to push the other man's abdomen outward.

This moment happened too briefly, it was just a blink of an eye!

Even Xu De was caught off guard!

By the time everyone came to their senses, Li Erniu and Wang Qiang had already tumbled out of the car, kicking up dust.

"broken!"

Li Xiang's heart sank. Without any hesitation, he reached for his waist.

The next second, a steel artifact appeared in his hand!

This is... a gun!

"Don't move! Don't move at all!"

"Move again and I'll fire!"

Li Xiang roared, pointing the dark muzzle of his gun at the crowd, his face grim.

The people of Lijia Village who witnessed this scene...

They paused for a few seconds, then a man, with a barefoot but fearless attitude, stuck out his neck, pointed to his own head, and pushed forward.

"Come on, hit me! Hit me here! Kill me!"

"The police killed someone!"

"Damn it, so what if they're police? Does that give them the right to use guns to bully people?!"

"..."

The villagers, who had been calmed down by Xu De, rioted again and quickly surrounded the two gates, smashing and damaging the cars with their belongings.

Several police officers were completely blocked, and even when Li Xiang brandished his gun, it was to no avail.

And outside...

"Damn it, you old bastard!"

Li Erniu came to his senses, his face contorted with rage.

He scrambled to his feet, looked around, and then snatched a wheat-cutting sickle from a villager's hand, immediately charging at him.

The sickle was sharpened until it gleamed with a sinister, cold light.

Wang Qiang instinctively reached out to block it.

"Smack."

His hand barely managed to grasp the other man's knife-wielding fist. The veins on his arm bulged, and his face turned red as they struggled against each other, the tip of the knife constantly shifting between them.

"Bang."

Suddenly, a blow to the back struck him, causing Wang Qiang's legs to buckle and he to fall to the ground.

Li Erniu was also dragged down to the ground, and the surrounding people rushed forward, engulfing the two in the blink of an eye.

In an instant, the scene descended into chaos.

There were shouts of cursing and sounds of fighting.

until......

"Bang!!!"

Suddenly, a sound like a thunderclap exploded in my ears.

After the sound, everyone shuddered, fell silent instantly, stopped what they were doing, and turned to look at the source of the sound.

This is...

gun!

"Don't move! Everyone, don't move!"

Li Xiang's face showed anger, and he immediately pointed the gun, which was still smelling of gunpowder, back at the crowd.

"Fire a warning shot!"

"Step back and throw everything you're carrying on the ground!"

He...he actually dared to fire a gun...

The villagers of Lijia Village froze, their previous toughness gone, becoming timid and hesitant, slowly retreating and dropping their sickles and hoes.

Li Xiang's face was grim as he walked forward, gun in hand.

As the villagers stepped back, Wang Qiang and Li Erniu, who had fallen to the ground, reappeared before their eyes.

Wang Qiang lay on the ground, while Li Erniu straddled him, locked in a stalemate.

Li Xiang frowned, tilted his head slightly, and spoke again to remind him.

"Back off! Back off!"

The words fell, but the two ignored them.

"despair......"

In a daze.

The sound of metal falling to the ground startled everyone.

Immediately afterwards, Wang Qiang hurriedly struggled to get up from under the other man and stood beside Li Xiang. His face was ferocious, his eyes were bloodshot, and his breathing was like that of a bull panting.

Li Erniu, however, remained kneeling on the ground and did not get up.

Li Xiang glanced at the ground. There was a sickle lying on the ground beneath the other person, its blade covered in blood.

"Blood!?"

Then it was seen that Wang Qiang, who was now acting like a madman, was also covered in blood, which emitted a foul odor.

Li Xiang lifted the other person's clothes.

However, no wounds were found.

"It's Li Erniu's blood!"

In the car, Xu De glanced out the window, his pupils suddenly contracted, and he spoke subconsciously.

Li Erniu's blood?

Everyone paused, and all turned to look at Li Erniu.

The other person was kneeling on the ground, trembling all over, and the sound of them breathing heavily could be heard beside my ears.

Followed by.

Then Li Erniu was seen trembling and staggering as he forced himself to stand up, clutching his stomach.

His eyes were vacant and his face was blank, but no one paid attention to his face anymore. Everyone's eyes were fixed on his stomach!

The sharpened sickle that fell to the ground... had actually fallen from his abdomen!

Li Erniu's clothes were ripped open, and his belly was also torn open with a hole!

"Gurgle~"

A strange sound came from his throat, and blood seeped from between his fingers as he clutched his abdomen. His eyes were glazed over, and he took two trembling, staggering steps.

But just like that, he left.

Large swathes of blood gushed to the ground, and a section of tender, red intestines, resembling an octopus, slid out of its abdomen like water. Li Erniu reached out and tried to stuff his intestines back in.

Suddenly everything went black...

next second.

"Thump!"

He collapsed, his face hitting the ground, his pupils gradually dilating.

The blood flowing from his abdomen soaked into the soil, turning it brown, and the color spread rapidly outwards from him.

The person...is dead.

Looking at this scene.

In an instant.

The entire scene was deathly silent.

a long time.....

Liu Cui covered her face and let out a shrill, ear-piercing sound.

"Murder!!!"
