Chapter 178: Hanging

Style issues are no small matter.

Hearing Luo Caixia’s words, everyone looked shocked.

Political Commissar Xu criticized sternly, “Comrade Xiao Luo, you can’t just say these things casually.”

“I’m not talking nonsense, I’ll stake my life on it. If it’s false, you can just shoot me.” Luo Caixia raised her chin, speaking fiercely.

She had put her life on the line, and the neighbors all condemned Captain Wang.

Lin Xiangnan had known about this for a long time, but she pretended to be surprised, opening her mouth wide.

She sighed, her face full of sympathy, “Sister Caixia, I won’t try to persuade you. Captain Wang is your child’s father after all. If he hadn’t done something truly outrageous, I don’t think you would have done this.”

Lin Xiangnan’s words highlighted the key point. The neighbors who came to mediate thought about it, and it was indeed true.

Every family has their own little conflicts, but they all cover them up. Even if you can’t get along with this man, you still have to consider the child.

Now that Luo Caixia didn’t even care about the child, everyone knew there was something wrong with Captain Wang, and it was a big problem.

“Who says it’s not? If I could still live this life, I would just endure it. But… woo woo woo…” Luo Caixia burst into a heart-wrenching cry.

Political Commissar Xu’s face turned black. He glared at Captain Wang with a mixture of anger and disappointment, “Look at what you’ve done.”

“Luo Caixia is talking nonsense. I really didn’t do anything wrong.” Captain Wang complained bitterly.

But no one believed his explanation. Political Commissar Xu said, “Your word doesn’t count. The organization will investigate this matter themselves.”

This kind of thing would have a bad influence if it got out.

Political Commissar Xu waved his hand to dismiss everyone, “Alright, alright, all of you go back to your work. Xiulan and I will take Xiao Luo to the hospital.”

“I’ll go too.” Lin Xiangnan volunteered.

Luo Caixia covered her arm and said, “Xiao Lin, can you help me bring Wang He out? I’m not at ease without her by my side.”

She had just reported Captain Wang, and she was afraid he would take his anger out on the child.

“Okay, I’ll go now.” Lin Xiangnan immediately turned around to go to Wang’s house to get the child.

Being exposed by his own family, an investigation was inevitable. Captain Wang was now listless, and his whole appearance looked dejected.

A promotion was out of the question, and it would be good enough if he didn’t get demoted.

For matters of personal relationships, unless caught red-handed, it’s difficult to find evidence to prove that they were having an affair.

But at the same time, it was also difficult for Captain Wang to prove his innocence.

Because it was his wife, Luo Caixia, who reported him, and he did have contact with Liu Feng.

Captain Wang took off his hat and scratched his head in frustration.

He really hadn’t slept with Liu Feng. He didn’t have the time, nor the opportunity.

It was just that Liu Feng had a good temper, spoke softly, and admired him as a hero. Captain Wang couldn’t help but feel a little pity for her.

Their relationship was at most just flirtatious, with a mutual understanding. The most intimate they had been was an accidental hug.

Captain Wang hadn’t been blinded by beauty, and he never dared to cross the line.

He felt that he was innocent, and he said so when he was investigated the next day.

“I swear on my honor that Comrade Liu Feng and I have done nothing. I just happened to meet her when I went to pick up the child, and we just chatted for a bit.”

The investigator said bluntly, “But the staff at the kindergarten reported that you rarely interacted with other childcare workers. Every time you went, you would look for Liu Feng.”

“According to our investigation, you had no contact with Liu Feng before, but recently, Liu Feng has been taking extra care of your child.”

“Luo Caixia also provided a handkerchief, which was confirmed to be Liu Feng’s.”

Captain Wang’s head was spinning. He explained helplessly, “My shoe was dirty that day, and I used my sleeve to wipe it. Liu Feng saw it and lent me her handkerchief. She had something to do, so she left in a hurry. I didn’t have time to return it to her, so I brought it home. I was going to return it later. Who knew Luo Caixia would take it…”

Captain Wang gritted his teeth and said, “My wife just misunderstood. Let her come, I’ll explain it to her one by one.”

“You still want to intimidate your wife in front of us? You dislocated her arm!”

Compared to Captain Wang’s dry explanations, Luo Caixia’s account was much more convincing.

After getting her dislocated arm treated at the hospital, Luo Caixia explained everything clearly.

“I knew about Old Wang and Liu Feng last year. But I didn’t say anything, after all, he’s my child’s father. If he had an accident, I and the child wouldn’t get anything good. But I didn’t hold back my anger either. I made him hand over his salary. He felt guilty, so he did.”

“He promised back then that he wouldn’t contact Liu Feng anymore. But recently, I found out they were meeting again. And Old Wang used to not hit me, but now he hits me, and he hits me hard, like he wants to kill me.”

“My child can’t be without a mother. I’m afraid… and Old Wang doesn’t like daughters. If I’m gone, my daughter will be finished…”

“You leaders, can you please manage Old Wang? Even though I didn’t give him a son, I did give him a daughter. No merit, but I have hardship.”

Captain Wang often made remarks about favoring sons over daughters, and everyone knew he craved a son and didn’t like daughters.

So at this point, he had no way to refute.

“What do you all take me for? How could I have such a vicious mind?” Captain Wang really hadn’t thought about killing his wife and remarrying.

But the fact that Luo Caixia had been beaten was true, and he did have the suspicion.

In the end, the investigation concluded that Captain Wang had had an overly close relationship with Liu Feng, and he received a disciplinary action. Because there was no concrete evidence, he was not demoted.

Even so, it still angered Captain Wang.

When he got home, he scolded Luo Caixia fiercely, “How can you betray your own husband like this?”

“How can you beat your own wife like this?” Luo Caixia retorted.

“You know what, I really want to beat you to death right now!” Old Wang cursed through gritted teeth.

“Go ahead, beat me. If you can’t beat me to death, I’ll go hang myself at the door of your leader’s office!”

The barefoot have no fear of those wearing shoes. As long as Luo Caixia was bold enough, Captain Wang couldn’t do anything to her.

But when she said she would hang herself, she was just talking.

However, Liu Feng, who was also under investigation, actually took a rope and went to her own doorstep, trying to hang herself.

Not only Luo Caixia, but even Captain Wang was shocked by this action.

“Liu Feng, what are you doing?” Captain Wang was so scared that his voice cracked. He was afraid of his reputation, so he didn’t dare to approach Liu Feng. He could only ask Luo Caixia to pull her away, “Why are you still standing there? Quickly pull her away!”

Luo Caixia’s face was cold, “I won’t. If she dares to die, I’ll take my life with her.”
