Chapter 206: Betrayal and astonishment

Luo Qiao walked away, while the people who remained looked at each other, pondering about what she just said. Some couldn’t understand the meaning behind what Luo Qiao had said at all.

A man from the Zhang family looked towards Zhang Yuewen and asked, “Yuewen, you’ve read a lot of books. What did Luo Qiao mean by what she said just now? Could you explain it to us?”

Zhang Yuewen originally didn’t want to speak, but with his grandfather looking at him, he said, “Luo Qiao meant that this is a society governed by law now. If you make a mistake, you have to face legal consequences, not like in the old days where the clan had the final say.

The saying ‘Do not impose on others what you do not wish for yourself’ means that what you wouldn’t want to happen to yourself, don’t impose it on others. As for the last sentence, you should be able to understand without my explanation.”

The burly man frowned and asked, “How did she say she’s worried about our IQ? What does that mean?”

Zhang Yuewen replied, “Today, those present looking for Luo Qiao include people from Uncle Dezhen’s family. If something happens, who will the public security hold accountable?”

Everyone pondered over his words. They also felt that Luo Qiao was right. Given what Qiaoyan from the branch family did, unless Luo Qiao actively said otherwise, it was almost certain she would end up in juvenile detention center.

But now that such a big thing has happened, none of the village secretary’s family members have shown up. Instead, these people have been running around. Now, with Luo Qiao’s mentioning it, everyone seems to be turning around.

Yeah, they’ve been having a great time causing trouble. To put it nicely, it’s for the reputation of the clan and the village. But now they were in a society governed by law. No matter how powerful they are, they can’t override national law.

Moreover, none of the village secretary’s family members have appeared. When the village secretary left, he asked them to help suppress the matter. Now they’ve also realized that they all live in the same village and are part of the Zhang clan.

Luo Qiao might be right. These people seem to have been manipulated by Zhang Dezhen. With such a big incident in his family, even if they are networking or taking care of someone in the hospital, they can’t be busy all the time.

At this moment, some of the Zhang family men who had figured it out turned and left, which infuriated Zhang Yinwen.

He shouted at those leaving, “Just a few words from that little girl have made you all turn against us. Don’t you think about what will happen to your family in the future if the clan doesn’t support you? See how you’ll manage then?”

A Zhang family member who had attended school for a few days stepped forward and said, “Second Master, this situation is different from the usual fights between families. Qiaoyan has committed a crime. Luckily, she’s not yet eighteen, or she’d be facing jail time.

Actually, Luo Qiao is right. She asked earlier if Zhang Yuewen or Ruyan could take the blame for Qiaoyan so she wouldn’t be punished. But you refused. Why should we force Luo Qiao not to pursue justice?

Put yourself in someone else’s shoes. If someone used such malicious methods to harm your Ruyan, would you let it go? Qiaoyan’s actions were outrageous. She’s not that young anymore, she’s even in high school.

Just because Luo Qiao got into No. 1 High School, Qiaoyan wanted to harm her. This isn’t just some innocent prank. Think about it. If my family had such issues, I wouldn’t stick around.”

After speaking, he turned and left. With this opening, one after another began to leave. The truth is, this issue stems from Zhang Qiaoyan of the village secretary’s family being in the wrong. A group of grown men bullying a young girl like Luo Qiao is truly indefensible.

Seeing that everyone had left, Zhang Yinwen was truly furious. Overcome with anger, he fainted on the spot.
