Chapter 368: Resorting to Violence
Chapter 368: Resorting to Violence After being interrupted by Hu Li, the Yuan family fell silent and dared not speak. But in the next moment, they realized the meaning behind Hu Li's words and became ecstatic. "Sir, does that mean we can leave? Can we go home? Are we really safe now?" they asked eagerly. Hu Li sneered, "Yes, you're free to go." With that, he took the key and unlocked the door to release Lu Sixing. Once she stepped out, he leisurely walked over to the Yuan family's cell. With the anxious gazes of the Yuan family upon him, he opened their cell door. As soon as the Yuan family stepped out, they shouted in excitement. However, the next moment, they all rushed toward Yuan Shanchuan and began to attack him without hesitation. "You worthless scoundrel! It's all because of you that we suffered. You unfilial son! Your parents have always lived a decent life in the village, and this is the first time we've been thrown into a jail cell. You've brought shame upon us." "Just you wait, once we get back home, we'll sever all ties with you. We don't want you to drag us down again." "That's right, Fourth Brother, you've caused us so much pain. I think it's best if we cut off all contact in the future, so people won't think we're involved in your misdeeds." Yuan Shanchuan's parents and brothers hated him to the core. They didn't hold back, beating him mercilessly, both inside and outside the house. Da Niu anxiously wanted to intervene, but he was stopped by Shu Yu. She turned around, surprised, and said, "Fourth Uncle isn't fighting back." Yuan Shanchuan felt guilty toward his parents and brothers, so he allowed them to vent their anger on him. But Lu Sixing couldn't just stand by and watch her frail husband getting hurt. She stepped forward to protect him, but the Yuan family members paid no attention to her. In fact, their anger toward her was even greater, and they shifted their focus onto her, tearing at her and attacking her with hatred. Shu Yu immediately stepped forward and pushed Yuan Shanchuan's mother, who was trying to scratch Lu Sixing's face, to the side. Then, she firmly grabbed Yuan Shanchuan's father's wrist as he desperately pulled at Lu Sixing's hair. She shielded Lu Sixing behind her and coldly stared at them. "I dare you to touch my aunt." She could tolerate the Yuan family members attacking Yuan Shanchuan because, in the end, it was his responsibility for their current situation. But what had Lu Sixing done wrong? She was a victim as well. Last time, she had already suffered from the attacks and injuries inflicted by old lady Yuan and the others, and even Xiao Zhen's head was bleeding from being hit. Now they wanted to attack her again in her presence? They were dreaming. Yuan Shanchuan also regained his senses. His head was spinning; he hadn't been able to rest properly for the past few days, and he had been beaten by the black market thugs. Now, his family members were treating him as if he were their enemy, wanting to kill him. Yuan Shanchuan almost couldn't bear it anymore. Fortunately, Da Niu and Lu Sixing quickly supported him. Yuan Shanchuan took a deep breath and said to his parents, "Father, mother, it's fine if you want to hit me, but Lu Sixing is innocent. Don't lay a hand on her." "Spit! How is she innocent? She's a jinx, both you and your wife are troublemakers." Hu Li's face turned sour, unable to bear it any longer. "Have you had enough of this? Do you know where you are? If you don't want to leave, fine, I'll lock the door, and you'll never leave."
