Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Suddenly, a cold light flashed in front of him. The man in black raised the kitchen knife and slashed down! Shawn was so frightened that he retracted his hand. The kitchen knife hit the bed with a clang.
What Shawn didn’t know was who Alex’s subordinates were. If they really wanted to cut off his fingers, would they miss? They were just scaring him now.
Shawn’s face turned pale as he kept kowtowing. “Spare me, spare me! I won’t dare to do it again. I was wrong…”
Alex looked at him coldly. Shameless people were sometimes not even afraid of the law. He could not wait for the court to go through the process. He had to deal with Shawn first. He had taken advantage of his daughter’s popularity time and time again and treated her as a money tree. If he did not teach him a lesson, it would not match his character!
Alex looked around and waved at the men in black. “Alright, have a good chat. Remember, we’re civilized people. We have to be polite.”
The men in black: “Understood!”
Alex closed the door and went out. Shawn kept retreating and knelt on the ground to kowtow and beg for mercy. After a while, his begging turned into the m.u.f.fled sound of being beaten.
Outside the door, Helena held the empty milk tea and asked Alex, “It’s not good for you to do such a thing with your status, right?”
Alex was still leaning against the window at the end of the stairs. He said calmly, “What’s my status?”
Helena: “???”
Alex said, “Besides, it was the Burton family head who instructed the beating, not anyone else.”
Helena: Impressive!
Shawn was beaten up and his entire body hurt. In the end, he was locked up for 15 days for causing trouble and fighting.
Shawn, who had been taken away by the police: ‘
Alex’s subordinates would hit people very hard. They knew where to hit to make it hurt, but one wouldn’t be able to tell from looking. On the other hand, the man in black who hit them had a swollen face. They had beaten each other up. It looked shocking, but in fact, they were all small injuries.
Helena asked Alex, “If you do this, your subordinates will also be arrested…”
Alex waved his hand. “It’s fine. They originally had a mission to enter the police station to keep an eye on someone.” Therefore, this could be considered killing two birds with one stone.
Helena’s mouth twitched.
Alex glanced at Helena and smiled. “This is called rational use of resources.” Helena: “…” You’re so capable!
When Shawn was arrested and brought to the police station, the girl who had fallen into the water was being exposed online. Because Shawn’s words had angered everyone, the angry netizens found the girl’s home address and phone number. They even found her family’s phone number. The girl was about to break down. She also clarified on social media that the person was not her, but her account was just an ordinary account. No one noticed it at all. In the past few days, the girl’s family had even received threatening letters and terrifying packages. On the surface, it was a delivery, but in fact, when they opened it, it was filled with broken arms and prosthetic limbs. There was even red dye splashed on them. At first glance, they looked like real arms.
The girl screamed in fear and broke down as she shouted, “Mommy, why is this happening…” She did not say those words, but no one listened to her explanation. That boy was her savior. She had been going to the boy’s house to thank him for the past few days, apologizing and feeling extremely guilty… Unexpectedly, she suffered cyberbullying the moment she turned around!
The girl’s father sighed. “Bear with it. Daddy has already reported it to the platform.” Although that account had been banned, it had already happened. If one lied too much, it would become true. Now, the entire Internet believed that the girl was an ungrateful person. So what if she banned the account? Some things were difficult to salvage.
The girl’s mother wiped her tears. “Child, bear with it. After all, we survived, but the boy who saved you is gone forever. Even if we go out to explain, we’re insignificant. How many people will believe us? They won’t believe us. They only believe what they see and believe.”
The girl cried even harder. Because of what happened online, when she went to school, her cla.s.smates looked at her strangely. There were even people who deliberately bullied her and said that she was ungrateful. They said that she didn’t beg others to save her, right? The girl was about to break down. She didn’t understand why things had turned out like this and didn’t know what to do next. Because even if she clarified, no one would believe her..
