148 Cold Hard Evidence! (1/2)
”That's not true! Uncle Murong, this is slander!”
Xiao Jianzhong felt a shiver run up his back. His whole body was shivering from the sheer cold and frightening killing intent that was overflowing from Murong Tian. It felt as if he had fallen deep into an ice cave in Antarctica.
”Murong Xiaoyao! Stop throwing false accusations at me! I didn't even lay one finger on you, how the hell did I even molest you?” Xiao Jianzhong's face was already red from anxiety, and his father was not looking too good as well. Xiao Zhe had come here with his soon seeking revenge, but had the tables turned against them by Xiaoyao, instead. Although used to dealing with many different people in the business and underworld, this unexpected change of events caught them by surprise and threw them off guard. The accuser had become the accused.
”Bullshit! My daughter is already crying like this, how could she be simply accusing you!” Murong Tian said angrily. His deep voice sounded like a roaring tiger that was about to attack Xiao Jianzhong and tear him to shreds, terrifying Xiao Jianzhong to his bones.
”Master Tian! Please calm yourself down!” Xiao Zhe tried to defuse the situation to stop it from becoming any worse. ”You know what my son is like, a little rude and roguish sometimes, but not the kind to lay a finger on your daughter!”
”But he did! He's a pervert! Scum! Asshole! Moron...” Xiaoyao had had enough of Xiao Jianzhong's haughty attitude and took the chance to let herself go all out mouthing off him. The more insults she piled on, the more she got into it. Letting go of all of her pent up resentment and contempt for Xiao Jianzhong for how he treated the orphanage children, how he had been going around and calling her his girlfriend in public, and how many times father had to turn a blind eye to the Xiao's because of his debt to Old Man Xiao. Seeing how emotional she was when cursing at Xiao Jianzhong, Murong Tian discerned that she was not acting, and his anger intensified.
”Xiaoyao! Stop spouting nonsense!” Xiao Zhe was getting really anxious as he saw Murong Tian's expression darkened the more she scolded. ”You accuse my son of molesting you, but that's just what you say! Now unless you have evidence, I refuse to believe that my son would do something like that! And I will not stand for your blatant slander!”
”That's right! Father is absolutely right! This is slander! How dare you claim that I molested you?” Xiao Jianzhong snapped out of his fear and shot back at Xiaoyao.
”Xiaoyao, do you have any proof?” Murong Tian asked her softly.
”I am the evidence!” Before Xiaoyao could reply her father, Chen took the chance and stepped into the conversation. He strode towards them and said in a righteous manner, ”I personally saw this Xiao Jianzhong bastard molesting Xiaoyao! And in a fit of anger, I beat him up!”
”What did you say?” Xiao Jianzhong jumped. He angrily continued, ”You little piece of shit! Tell me which eye of yours was it that saw me molested her? You are just baselessly slandering me!”
Xiao Zhe who was listening in on the side also responded, ”You little bastard! You and Xiaoyao are both are in this together! How dare you two slander my son!”
”Silence!” Murong Tian bellowed. ”Let the boy talk!”
”Right... Right...” Xiao Zhe did not dare outright challenge Murong Tian's authority in his own house and kept quiet.
Chen nodded and started telling his story, ”We were supposed to meet up today, but as soon as I got there, I saw this asshole pestering Xiaoyao in an indecent manner, all the while with a pink underwear over his head! Xiaoyao couldn't fight back or stop him and he continued doing all sorts of lewd and perverted things to her. Finally, he got really bold and forced her into a corner, and was even about to take his pants off! Absolutely shameless! Committing such a despicable act in public, in front of other children passing by! This hooligan was tarnishing our great city's name and image!”
