Chapter 673: Chapter 664: Worthless Now

Director Zhao made it very clear. At this point, you definitely can’t take the person away; the pressure of public opinion online is something they can’t bear.

Otherwise, why would they talk about suppressing it? Some things, if kept under wraps, are easy to solve, just a trivial matter. If not, it becomes a big deal that has to be handled according to the law, and no one can make a difference, unless you have extraordinary connections.

Seeing the situation, Han Bin couldn’t help but spit and then gave his wife a cold look before turning and leaving.

After all, he couldn’t solve the problem here now, but there were still a bunch of issues waiting for him outside, matters relating to his interests.

His wife would just be detained here for three days, so what? She wouldn’t die, and he knew what was more important.

Seeing her husband leave so indifferently, Jiang Guimei only felt her mind go blank. This time, she didn’t kick up a fuss but sat silently in the chair, tears streaming down her face.

It wasn’t the detention she feared but the possibility that her husband might have changed his mind.

The look he gave before leaving was something she saw very clearly—extremely cold, as if looking at a stranger. This gave her a deep sense of crisis.

After having a meal at the landlady’s house, he went home in the evening, and the little aunt became unusually well-behaved, showering him with attention.

"Brother, are you tired? Let me give you a shoulder rub!"

"Why don’t you soak your feet, brother? I’ll get the water for you, sister!"

"Brother, shall we have a drink?"

Today, she really bullied Su Qing verbally outside, fearing someone might trouble her tonight. So she’s been trying to please, even knowing he can’t hold his liquor, hoping to get him drunk and avoid any trouble. It has to be said, Aunt Shen has a clever mind.

"So? You know you’re scared now?" Su Qing said with a teasing look in his eyes.

Being stubborn is a trait of Shen Yi, perhaps due to her strong character, always trying to suppress others. After being defeated the first few times, she occasionally fights back, now even feeling bold enough to challenge him.

This, Su Qing can endure. As an old saying goes, ’The enemy not only refuses to surrender but dares to counterattack us.’

After two nights of intense combat, someone has lost their fighting capability. Not to mention the slight pain in some areas, even gritting his teeth, he could barely last a round, so the little aunt got scared.

Since returning from the landlady’s, she’s been trying to please him in various ways, hoping he’d forget her daytime actions.

Hearing his words, the little aunt nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, brother, it was my fault during the day, I spoke too loudly. Just now, there were many people at Sister Qing’s family, so sister is apologizing to you!"

"Don’t you think I want an intergenerational friendship?"

"No, no!"

"Why do I feel like you don’t mean that?"

"No, sister is older than you. We indeed have an intergenerational friendship, but you see, sister is really tired these days; let me take a break, good brother, muah~"

As she spoke, she gave him a quick peck on the lips.

Seeing such an obedient Aunt Shen, Su Qing felt a bit embarrassed to tease her. After all, such things require mutual effort; one-sided effort doesn’t quite hit the mark.

Thinking this, Su Qing quickly shook his head, almost becoming a love guru—calm down, stay calm.

Then, under Shen Yi’s surprised gaze, Su Qing temporarily forgave her for one night, letting her off the hook.

At night, the two of them slept in each other’s arms, their affection continuing to grow.

That’s how relationships are, from the initial passion to later casualness, finally becoming calm. As time goes by, familial bonds slowly develop; it’s a process he won’t be exempt from.

While they found peace on their side, online public opinion was just beginning, with a tendency to intensify over time.

First, Su Qing updated a surveillance video of Big Yellow’s rescue. Subsequently, a video of the boss lady from Jiang City’s Fengyang Restaurant appeared online.

Su Qing had a million-level account. Although he never does live streaming, sells goods, or competes with others, his popularity is quite substantial now.

Wen Jingqi found several news accounts with plenty of followers to post the videos, and with his considerable resources, he pushed these two videos to the hot search directly.

Now, many people have noticed the connection between the two videos, and although Su Qing didn’t explicitly state it, he indirectly showed his stance, increasing the heat of this affair.

"Human life isn’t as valuable as a dog’s life. What a paradise for the rich!"

"What can money do? When the situation escalates, let’s see how she gets out of it!"

"Don’t worry, even if it escalates, they’ll still live in luxury. That’s the privilege of wealth!"

"Damn, are you a relative of that woman?"

"Got it, I heard the woman’s name is Jiang Guimei, a mistress-turned-wife. Her husband is Han Bin, the owner of Fengyang Restaurant, with one main store and five branches in Jiangcheng City."

"Wow, good work! Only a day and the netizens have found it all out!"

"A mistress-turned-wife, no wonder she’s so arrogant. Let’s make her famous this time and let her be happy!"

"Damn, I had a reservation there for a week later; I’m going to cancel it tomorrow. It’s infuriating!"

"Our company often has gatherings there; guess we need to find a new place now!"

"No wonder she’s a mistress. Her shamelessness really shows completely."

Besides the initial few videos, most people who reposted added a mosaic to the woman, but netizens had long taken screenshots, so it didn’t matter much.

That night, Han Bin was smashing things in his restaurant. In such a short time, some had already started boycotting in front of his restaurant, and many called the front desk to curse, along with numerous order cancellations.

One could easily guess the reason, and the problem was more serious than he had expected.

Frightened, he quickly called some managers to discuss countermeasures. After all, with this incident, if the online public opinion didn’t die down, he was sure the loss would be significant.

Moreover, upon knowing the other’s identity, he realized even if he went to apologize now, it probably wouldn’t achieve much. Only if he paid a certain price to appease the other side first, then apologized, would it be accepted.

Thinking of this made him extremely anxious.

Early the next morning, the Jiang City police released a new announcement stating they had located the involved parties and had control over the situation. However, it was only a penalty for Jiang Guimei not leashing her dog; the detention process still needed steps, and they hinted that Jiang Guimei was suspected of threatening others, possibly facing detention.

The news immediately thrilled netizens, who praised the efficiency of the Jiang City police. Although the final result wasn’t set, seeing the arrogant person getting punished was delightful for everyone.

In contrast, Su Qing sent Shen Yi to the company early the next day, then drove alone to the East City Public Security Bureau.

"You have to admit, you sure know how to stir things up. It’s been so long since you came by, yet the news about you just keeps coming. I thought you might have debuted as a celebrity!" Just arriving at the police station, even with a mask on, Du Qiang recognized him. He greeted Su Qing with a punch straight to the chest.

"Ouch, it hurts, it hurts! Are you trying to kill me?" Su Qing grimaced, retaliating a few times, but it was ineffective against Du Qiang, barely a hit.

"Alright, it’s been ages since you’ve been around. Let me tell you, my master and Team Lin almost have a problem with you. If you don’t show up soon, they’re going to seek you out themselves. Well, good luck to you!" Du Qiang spoke cheerfully, looking a bit smug.

Upon hearing this, Su Qing perked up, "Team Lin is back?"

"Of course, how long has it been? His wife is out of confinement, so why wouldn’t he be back? Come, let me take you to see. Now, Lin smiles like crazy whenever he’s mentioned his second child."

Su Qing, surprised, remarked, "You actually learned to use your brain. What a waste; it’s not valuable anymore!"

"Get lost!"
