The Magnificent Son-in-law

Chapter 318: The Consequences of Speaking Without Thinking


About ten minutes later, everyone looked at Zhao Guo'an, who was sitting in the back row of the car, staring aimlessly ahead. Their eyes all had an inexplicable complexity.

At this moment, all the curtains in the car windows were drawn, and a lot of onlookers were taking photos and videos around the vehicle, making it look like an accident scene to those who didn't know better.

"I'll go make a call," Xiao Feng sighed, clearly feeling deep sympathy for Zhao Guo'an's tragic experience.

But the most urgent task now was to get the vehicle moving; otherwise, the number of people around would probably grow larger like a snowball. It seems to be human nature to want to join a crowd and take a look.

The little girl and Lu Yao exchanged glances, wanting to offer some words of comfort, but it seemed nothing could soothe the scar on Zhao Guo'an's soul.

At this time, voices from the conversation outside faintly drifted in.

"Hey, why did you just get here? You missed a good show."

"What on earth happened? You were in such a rush to get me here, and I don't see anything wrong with this car."

Judging by the voices, it was clearly two young women.

"It wasn't a car accident. You have no idea. Just now, there was a handsome guy naked on the car roof, and I must say, he was quite fair-skinned."

"Was he?"

"Yes, yes, very fair!"

"And then?"

"Then another even more handsome guy appeared on the roof, along with an older gentleman, and they teamed up to rescue the naked guy."

"Are you sure you're not joking?"

"I knew you wouldn't believe it. I've got the video right here..."

The little girl could listen no longer. She pulled open the car window and said angrily, "Can't you stop? You seem educated, discussing someone being naked in broad daylight—don't you have any basic sense of shame?"

The two girls peering inside were startled, and after a while, one of them weakly said, "Um... isn't it the handsome guy who's naked that has no shame?"

The other girl immediately chimed in, speaking righteously, "Exactly. He can be naked, but we can't discuss it? Does that make sense?"

"..." The little girl was suddenly furious, but what they said made so much sense that she couldn't even refute it.

She had no choice but to close the car window and quietly sulk in her seat.

The others also felt somewhat helpless. After all, the root cause of the problem was Zhao Guo'an being naked. You can't just go out and chase everyone away, can you?

However, just at that moment, the voices of several men talking came drifting in.

"That little girl in the car was really pretty, like a movie star. In a few years, she'll definitely be a beauty capable of causing havoc."

"It's a pity. It would've been better if the naked one was that little beauty. What's the point of seeing some guy?"

"Heh, I think so too."

For a moment, no one discussed the actual reason Zhao Guo'an ended up naked on the car roof. The crowd's discussion gradually turned somewhat inappropriate.

"Bang!"

The little girl slammed the table and stood up, ready to get out and punch someone, but Lin Zhiyan held her back.

She had naturally heard the earlier conversation too, and as a mentor, she felt it was her duty to stand up for her disciple.

But just then, a piercing scream came from outside the car.

"Ah!"

Everyone frowned and peeked through the gap in the curtains, only to see a middle-aged man with a receding hairline, mouth bleeding profusely. Not far in front of him, a bloody front tooth lay on the ground, making one wince just at the sight!

"Who did this?"

"Seems like it was someone from the car, but I couldn't see what they used."

"Damn, someone's bleeding!"

Chaos erupted outside the window, and right at the window facing the man with the missing tooth, Xiao Feng stood with a stern expression. The "culprit" was already self-evident.

A moment later, the man with the missing tooth suddenly broke free from the person supporting him and kicked the bus: "Come out, you bastard!"

"Snap!"

The outcome was, of course, predictable. The whole person bounced back, landing solidly on his butt.

This action drew laughter from the crowd. The man felt embarrassed, so he simply acted shamelessly and walked boldly to the front of the bus, lying down directly in front of it.

In his mind, since he had already lost face, instead of slinking away in shame, he might as well save face and get some compensation. Besides, losing a front tooth was a fact, so he wasn't quite like a fraud.

"Make way, make way." A team of police pushed through the crowd, attempting to set up a cordon on the outer perimeter.

However, there were just too many people. Those in the back weren't willing to move back, those in the front wanted to back up but couldn't, and those in the middle simply enjoyed the show, with some even secretly pushing forward. The scene was as chaotic as a boiling pot of porridge.

"Now, the people at the very back start moving back. Anyone not moving will be dealt with as obstructing justice. I'm stressing again, back up..."

Outside the car, the sound of a loudspeaker boomed out. This voice was very familiar to Xiao Feng; it was none other than Zhao Xingfeng, whom he hadn't seen in a long time. He was there during the Shen Group's clubhouse incident, including the encounter with Lin Zhiyan and Lin Jiaxuan sisters.

And it was also him who took Xiao Feng away from the hotel. The two could be considered old acquaintances.

With the severe warnings, those in the back indeed began to retreat, and once those in front had space to move back, they naturally didn't dawdle. The cordon was quickly set up.

Not long after, Zhao Xingfeng boarded the bus, nodded slightly at Xiao Feng, and Xiao Feng, understanding his intentions, didn't engage in small talk. He signaled everyone to stay put and cooperatively walked down.

"What's happened?" Zhao Xingfeng lit a cigarette, pointing at the man lying in front of the car.

"It's a setup, what else could it be?" Xiao Feng looked innocent, "If you don't believe me, you can ask the people here or check the surrounding surveillance. He lay down in front of the car himself."

"Are you sure?" Zhao Xingfeng asked suspiciously, knowing full well the kind of audacious troublemaker Xiao Feng was.

Xiao Feng nodded: "I'm sure."

Seeing Xiao Feng's confidence, Zhao Xingfeng walked to the front of the car and crouched down, nudging the man before he could even speak. The man let out an "ouch."

Zhao Xingfeng was startled. What the hell was wrong with him?

Feeling a bit annoyed, he watched as the man suddenly grabbed his hand: "Officer, you're finally here!"

Suppressing his frustration, Zhao Xingfeng routinely asked, "What happened?"

The man, as if waiting for this question, immediately started rolling around, wailing: "I can't take it, my arm seems broken, my leg hurts, everywhere hurts, and my front tooth got knocked out. Officer, the people in the car attacked me."
