80s Marriage Swap: My Should-Be-Dead Husband Lives On-Chapter 157: In Peril

Wei Qing’s steps became faster, and the man behind her moved faster too.

Wei Qing regretted it; in hindsight, she should have stayed close to Wei Lai and the others.

Now, with so many people around, she had no idea where Wei Lai and the others were.

To protect herself, Wei Qing could only push her way further into the crowd.

Perhaps realizing that Wei Qing dared not resist, the man’s actions grew increasingly audacious.

What started as a subtle brush became direct touching.

Tears welled in Wei Qing’s eyes.

She didn’t know what to do; she had never encountered such a situation before.

She didn’t dare to shout; what if the man became furious?

Suddenly, the man grabbed Wei Qing’s wrist and shouted loudly, "Wife, I was wrong; I was really wrong. I won’t stop you from buying clothes anymore. Let’s go home."

At the moment her wrist was seized, Wei Qing let out a scream.

"Let me go! Let me go!"

The man’s grip tightened: "Wife, I really know I was wrong. I’ve already bought you new clothes at home. Let’s go back home and discuss this properly, okay?"

Wei Qing shouted, "I don’t know you, go away, let me go."

The man said in a lowered tone, "Wife, I really know I was wrong. I won’t do this again. Let’s go home first and then talk."

Initially, people thought the pair didn’t look like a family based on their appearances.

Wei Qing’s attire clearly showed wealth, but upon hearing the man say he spent all their money on her clothes, it suddenly seemed plausible.

"I don’t know you; let me go."

The man didn’t release her; instead, he grabbed both of Wei Qing’s hands: "Wife, I really know I was wrong. I’ve spent all our money on you. I won’t stop you from buying new clothes again. I can just take on more jobs. Wife, don’t be angry, okay?"

Hearing the man’s words, the people around looked at Wei Qing with unsympathetic eyes.

"I say, comrade, your man treats you so well, why are you causing a scene?"

"Exactly, just look at what your man is wearing, and your clothes could buy him several outfits."

"Some women are like this, wasteful. The man works hard to earn money, and instead of being considerate, she blames him for not spending enough on her."

"Indeed, some women are wasteful. If my son dares to marry such a wasteful wife in the future, I would never approve."

"Truly ungrateful."

Hearing the surroundings, Wei Qing urgently said, "I’m not, I really don’t know him."

Wei Qing burst into tears from anxiety.

Someone noticed something amiss and was about to speak, only to be interrupted by the man.

"Wife, I’m sorry, I was really wrong. I know that man came back to find you, yes, he’s a college student, he’s better than me, but wife, I really can’t live without you."

Upon hearing this, those who intended to speak up for Wei Qing suddenly fell silent.

And those who had been blaming Wei Qing became even more vicious.

"I knew it, turns out she found another man."

"What bad luck, to have such a wife."

"This man is truly pitiful, his home ruined by this woman, and yet she found herself a paramour."

"Spit, such a woman should go to hell."

"Exactly, she should be drowned in a pig cage."

"I’m not, I really don’t know him, please, someone help me," Wei Qing shouted, her voice trembling violently in fear.

The man squinted his eyes, pleading look on his face.

He half-dragged, half-pulled, attempting to take Wei Qing away.

Wei Qing was terrified, but the people around her did nothing to help and instead looked at her with disgust.

As Wei Qing hit rock bottom, a figure suddenly appeared and, with a leap, kicked the man to the ground.

"Are you okay?" Lin Wen immediately came forward to help Wei Qing up from the ground.

Upon seeing Lin Wen, Wei Qing burst into loud sobs.

Lin Wen felt extreme heartache listening to her.

He was patrolling this area today, wondering if he might come across Wei Qing.

Turns out he did meet her, but he never imagined witnessing the scene of Wei Qing almost being taken away.

Without a second thought, Lin Wen kicked the man dragging Wei Qing to the ground.

The man, once on the ground, was about to curse but fell silent when he saw the uniform Lin Wen was wearing.

Silently, he attempted to move away, preparing to escape.

As he moved, he bumped into something and looked up only to see two people in police uniforms standing behind him.

"Where do you think you’re going?"

The man immediately stood up, attempting to flee.

But was intercepted by the two individuals and held down.

Onlookers, witnessing this, showed expressions of confusion.

However, upon seeing the man apprehended by the police, some began to understand that things were not as they initially thought.

So Wei Qing really didn’t know the man.

Some faces showed embarrassment, while others didn’t seem to care.

They thought perhaps the woman shamelessly tried to allure another woman’s man but got the wrong person.

Though thinking this, some did not dare to speak it aloud.

Lin Wen glared at the man, murder evident in his eyes.

After comforting Wei Qing, he approached the man, not physically touching him, but looking at him with icy eyes, slowly saying, "Take him to the police station."

"Yes."

The two officers took the man away.

Some of the spectators, realizing there wasn’t much else to see, left.

Others who felt their previous comments were inappropriate left out of embarrassment.

"Are you hurt?" Lin Wen carefully inspected Wei Qing for injuries.

Wei Qing, sobbing, said, "My wrist hurts."

The tone carried a hint of unintended coquetry.

Upon hearing, Lin Wen looked at Wei Qing’s wrist; it was bruised, indicating the man’s rough grip.

Lin Wen’s eyes showed another flicker of murderous intent.

After calming his terrifying gaze, Lin Wen said, "I’ll take you to the hospital."

Wei Qing nodded, her voice still choked, "Okay."

Lin Wen took Wei Qing to the hospital, watching the doctor tend to her bruises.

"It’s not very severe. Apply this medicine three times a day, with some pressure, and the bruises should fade over time."

Lin Wen took the medicine from the doctor, "Okay, thank you, doctor."

Exiting with Wei Qing, he asked, "Do you want to go home, or..."

Wei Qing looked at Lin Wen, "Do you still have to patrol?"

Lin Wen glanced at the time, "Yes, for another half hour. Do you want to join me?" 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

Today’s lively atmosphere meant if not for this event, Wei Qing might still be out enjoying herself.

Wei Qing bit her lip lightly, her eyes still slightly red, evoking pity.

"Can I join you?" Wei Qing’s voice was soft.
