Chapter 227 Adding Fuel to the Fire
Only then did Zhou Xiangzhang's wife realize the fear. She took two steps back in a panic, looked at the knife on the ground, and then at the woman in front of her whose face she had disfigured. She burst into tears.
"Ah—help!"
Oh, my face.
My face.
woo woo woo...
You damned woman!
You damned woman!
Ah, my face…
Xie Liting broke down.
She has always been very confident in her appearance, and with her education and good academic background, she is even more confident.
Even though she lost her job at Yuanshan County TV Station, even though she was abandoned by Dawei, even though she was forced and humiliated by Zhou Dongliang, even though her family plotted against her repeatedly, she still did not lose her self-confidence.
This confidence allows her to face difficulties without fear and to overcome repeated failures.
Just like now, she has only been out of the detention center for a short time, and she is already able to throw herself into her next relationship and life, appearing very calm and composed.
At its core, it's her looks and her amazing figure.
And all these things were destroyed in broad daylight by an inconspicuous old woman.
It was completely destroyed!
Xie Liting broke down.
What broke her down even more than being insulted by Zhou Dongliang was the fact that she was being humiliated.
I have never felt so afraid and desperate in my life.
"You old witch!"
You'll die a horrible death!
Xie Liting waved her hands frantically, her eyes filled with hatred.
The passerby took out his phone and called the police.
When Xie Liting saw the terrified look in his eyes, she knew how terrible she looked. She slowly turned around and looked at the floor-to-ceiling glass behind her, where she saw her face, which had been slashed.
I was stunned.
The wound was still bleeding, and the tears flowing into it made the pain even worse.
After a few seconds of hesitation, she took out her phone and quickly dialed 120 instead of calling the police immediately, because all she wanted to do right now was get treatment.
I was hoping that starting the treatment a little earlier would improve the results—but in reality, it was of no use at all.
Disfigurement is a foregone conclusion.
When she realized this, the ambulance was connected, and they asked her what happened and where she was, but Xie Liting couldn't say anything.
With his arm hanging down, the urgent voice of the 120 operator came from the phone he was holding.
Xie Liting was heartbroken.
When Zhou Dongliang's mother tried to leave, hotel security and two passersby blocked her way.
"You can't leave."
"Yes, stabbing someone in broad daylight and then trying to walk away?"
"This person looks familiar; I feel like I've seen them somewhere before?"
"He looks familiar too. Does he look like a family member of some county leader?"
"Whoever she is, we can't let her leave like this."
The crowd was discussing it.
Zhou Dongliang's mother was initially flustered, but when she saw that no one understood her, she became frantic.
"That woman deserved what she got."
She ruined my son terribly; she's almost caused our family to be torn apart.
woo woo woo...
We are victims too.
That bitch deserves to die!
The security guard, holding a riot fork, blocked her way: "We're not letting you leave. Tell the police what you have to say."
Soon, two police cars arrived and dragged Zhou Dongliang's mother into the cars.
A policewoman came over and told her subordinates to pull the curtain to block Xie Liting from view.
An ambulance arrived shortly afterward, and Xie Liting was taken into the ambulance.
The news spread quickly, even reaching the county government building.
Dawei had just arrived at work, and Zhao Kui had just served him tea when Wu Maocai hurriedly walked into Dawei's office and waved for Xiao Zhao to leave.
When Dawei saw Wu Maocai's tense expression, he knew that something serious had happened.
"What's wrong?"
"Sherry...was hacked to death!"
Wu Maocai briefly recounted the events.
David stopped bringing the teacup to his lips, his mind going blankly.
How could this happen...?
His gaze held a hint of suspicion: "Who provoked Zhou Xiangzhang's wife?"
"It's... not really that exciting..."
David was right; someone had indeed made moves behind the scenes.
Director Wu confessed.
yesterday.
Wu Maocai's mother-in-law went to Nanxi Temple on the east side of the county town, saying she was going to fulfill a vow.
In fact, Wu Maocai had assigned a task to his mother-in-law.
His mother-in-law happened to run into Zhou Xiangzhang's wife, who was going to Nanxi Temple to burn incense and pray to Buddha, and to offer incense money.
This woman goes to this nunnery every month to burn incense and pray to Buddha, seeking peace of mind.
His mother-in-law and one of the nuns there were from the same hometown and had a good relationship. Through that nun, she spoke to Zhou Xiangzhang's wife about some things.
"There's a reason why your family has been having so many misfortunes lately."
In my opinion, he's possessed by evil spirits.
We need to find a way to overcome this.
Zhou Xiangzhang's wife thought that the family's misfortunes started when Xie Liting got engaged to Zhou Dongliang.
This prodigy is Xie Liting.
So he asked the nun for advice on how to break the curse.
"If she is a vixen, then we must break her seductive arts."
Many nuns couldn't say anything, because saying it would mean taking responsibility.
Zhou Xiangzhang's wife asked several times, inquiring about any talismans or magical arts, not afraid to spend money.
The nun remained silent, clasping her hands together and shaking her head repeatedly.
Zhou Xiangzhang's wife dared to speculate that it meant ruining Hu Mei's appearance.
That's why they found Xie Liting and subjected her to violence.
"At the time, I just wanted to add fuel to the fire."
Thinking about our struggle with Zhou Xiangzhang, we realized that we had reached the most critical moment.
If we add another fire, we can consolidate our gains.
After thinking it over, I thought of Xie Liting.
This is also the "strike a part" theory that you told me about in the car, which inspired me.
If we're going to fight, we should fight thoroughly and give Zhou Xiangzhang a chance to make a comeback.
The other one, Xie Liting, is a despicable person.
To be honest, I can't stand it.
Xie Liting has already settled her assets and is preparing to leave.
Last time, she conspired with Xiao Jinding and the others to frame you and try to put you in jail.
As it turned out, Zheng Zhiguo was not very helpful at the time; he only detained Xie Liting for a few days before letting her out.
I saw how deeply that woman hurt you.
She can't just leave like that.
If you go somewhere else and get promoted, she might come back and cause trouble again.
She will be a long-term problem for you.
I was thinking of taking this opportunity to let Zhou Xiangzhang's wife and Xie Liting fight it out and ruin Xie Liting's reputation.
That way, she won't be embarrassed to bother you again, and everyone will know what kind of person Xie Liting is.
Wu Maocai lowered his head: "I just didn't expect that old woman to be so reckless."
How could this be...?
Even if you hate someone, you shouldn't use a knife.
Why……"
Wu Maocai shook his head in self-reproach.
"County Magistrate, please criticize me."
