Chapter 615: How Come It Was Her?
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Su Ying furrowed her brows. From her impression of Meng Jiang, this kid wasn’t mature enough in the past, but he wasn’t p.r.o.ne to such recklessness.
“You guys are in cahoots. I’m going to report this to the City Lord and teach all ofyou a lesson!”
Meng Jiang was being held by the Peace-keeping Bureau’s people as he struggled and shouted.
“I say, you brat! Why are you slandering people the moment you open your mouth? Let me tell you. If Long Ba and his men really did this, the City Lord would definitely not forgive them. However, if you can’t produce any evidence, you can’t falsely accuse them.”
Tiger Might and his men were not on good terms with Long Ba in the past, so there was no reason for Tiger Might’s men to speak up for Long Ba’s gang.
“It’s them. My wife said it herself. Those people almost humiliated her!”
“Then tell your wife to come here and we’ll ask her who humiliated her!”
Tiger Might was the person in charge of the Peace-keeping Bureau, but he was still at the mine, so the matter here could only be handled by the deputy manager.
When Su Ying was around, Meng Jiang hadn’t even gotten married yet. When did he get a wife?
While she waited as puzzled thoughts swirled around, a few more familiar figures came to the Peace-keeping Bureau.
When Su Ying saw one of them, she opened her eyes wide. She thought that she was mistaken.
Meng Zi and Tian Niu rushed over when they heard the news. When the two of them saw their injured son, they also became anxious.
However, Meng Zi was more experienced and was still able to keep his cool.
The few of them came in and listened to the whole story after some simple greetings.
After listening, Meng Zi looked at w.a.n.g Furong with an unfathomable expression, who was hiding behind them with an aggrieved expression.
“w.a.n.g Furong, tell me what exactly is going on? Were you really captured by them?” The deputy manager of the Peace-keeping Bureau asked.
w.a.n.g Furong looked a little different from how Su Ying remembered her. Perhaps she had grown up, or perhaps she had gotten married. Even though she was cowering behind Meng Jiang in fear, there was a delicate charm in her eyes when she raised them.
w.a.n.g Furong raised her head and quickly glanced at the henchmen before hiding behind Meng Jiang in fear. “Husband, I… I’m scared.”
“Don’t be afraid. I’m here. No matter what happens, I must fight for justice for you today.” Meng Jiang s.h.i.+elded her behind his back.
“You said that they captured you. Do you have any evidence?” The deputy manager asked again.
w.a.n.g Furong lowered her head and said softly, “No.”
“How can you prove that you were captured without evidence?”
“Sir, what evidence do we need for this sort of thing? Don’t tell me if they won’t admit it, they can’t be convicted?” Meng Jiang became furious when he heard the question.
The deputy manager acted like he was just carrying out his duties. “Meng Jiang, not only do we need witnesses to convict them, we also need physical evidence. Also, let w.a.n.g Furong tell us when she was captured and the whole process of how they captured her. Tell us everything in detail.”
“You guys are simply going too far!” When Meng Jiang saw that they still insisted on making w.a.n.g Furong recount such a humiliating incident, he could not suppress his hot temper anymore.
Just as he was about to explode, Meng Zi held him back. “Don’t be impudent. Let her talk. If she doesn’t talk, how are the people from the Peace-keeping Bureau going to get evidence?”
“Father, they’re clearly in cahoots. Who knows how much benefits they have reaped by bullying when we weren’t in the city earlier!”
“Shut up!”
Meng Jiang was still fearful of Meng Zi. Although he was still angry, he held it in now. He turned around and said to w.a.n.g Furong gently, “Furong, don’t be afraid. Think about what happened that day. Just say whatever comes to your head. Don’t worry. I will find a way to help you.”
With Meng Jiang backing her up, w.a.n.g Furong became bolder.
“Yesterday, when I was shopping on the street, someone suddenly covered my head with a sack from behind and knocked me unconscious. When I woke up again, I was in a firewood shed. I… I heard them say that I was pretty and might be able to sell for a good price… I was very scared. I took the chance to escape when they weren’t paying attention.”
“Did you see clearly who captured you?” asked the deputy manager after listening to her.
w.a.n.g Furong shook her head. “No, I didn’t.”
Those people became upset when they heard that. “Bulls.h.i.+t! Since when do we abduct people on the streets? Even if we want people, we only want those who just arrived in the city. Why would we want you!”
When Meng Jiang got married, they had also gone to his wedding banquet. All those people who were guarding the Tiger Base in the past had attended. In order to let everyone get along better, Tiger Might invited all of them out to get to know each other.
In the northern wilderness, people did not care much about the protection of women against men. When they were carrying out such deeds, they took care to remember those important people.
w.a.n.g Furong was the daughter-in-law of the Meng family. Naturally, they would not be stupid enough to touch her.
Different parties were arguing that they were in the right in this matter. It was really difficult to determine which side was telling the truth and which side was lying.
“w.a.n.g Furong, when you were captured, which section of the street were you on? Roughly what time was it?”
w.a.n.g Furong frowned and mentioned a specific time.
“Before we get to the bottom of this matter, all of you can wait in the lockup,” the deputy manager said with a nod.
w.a.n.g Furong asked anxiously, “Deputy Manager, my husband didn’t do anything wrong. Why do you want to lock him up?”
The deputy manager frowned. “The matter of you being abducted has not been concluded yet, but he was caught red-handed for setting fire to someone else’s courtyard. Don’t tell me I have to let this matter go?”
“If they hadn’t gone too far, why would I have gone to set fire? Those dirty places like theirs should be burned down!”
“You’re still complaining? You almost took our lives. I’m telling you, this isn’t the end!”
Tian Niu was also anxious when she saw that Meng Jiang was about to be locked up. “There’s no conviction for the matter yet, so how can you lock him up? Don’t tell me that you guys have the final say in how the laws of Sky Alpha City are applied?”
Seeing that the two sides were about to fight again, the deputy manager quickly got someone to separate them.
“I’m just carrying out my duty according to the laws of Sky Alpha City. If you guys are not satisfied, go and look for Lord Chu.”
Meng Zi pulled back Tian Niu, who still wanted to make a scene. “He’s only locked up here. He hasn’t been convicted. It’s not too late to settle the score after they have investigated the matter.”
“But Jiang’er, he…” How could her heart not ache for her son?
Meng Zi’s dark eyes swept across the deputy manager’s face. “I, Meng Zi, am a law-abiding citizen, but I am not someone who is afraid of trouble. If my son is in the wrong, we will do everything according to the law. However, if I find out that someone is bullying us, then I will not show any courtesy!”
These words with strong overtones of a warning made the expressions of the deputy manager and his men turn unsightly.
“The Peace-keeping Bureau has always carried out all its duties according to the rules. Take him away.”
Meng Jiang and the other henchmen were taken away.
w.a.n.g Furong stood where she was with a look of reluctance. Tian Niu pulled her away a little angrily. “What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and leave!”
Meng Zi tugged at Tian Niu. “Enough. She’s innocent in this matter. Let’s go back first.”
w.a.n.g Furong looked at Tian Niu in a cowering manner and followed right behind them obediently.
Tian Niu glared at w.a.n.g Furong and angrily followed Meng Zi out of the Peace-keeping Bureau’s office.
After sending everyone away, the deputy manager immediately sent someone to the street to ask if there were any eyewitnesses. If they could find any eyewitnesses, then what w.a.n.g Furong said was basically true.
After the deputy manager made the arrangements, he was about to catch his breath when he saw a figure suddenly appear in front of him. He got such a big fright that he jumped up from his chair..
