Reborn in the 1980s: Recapture My Devoted Husband-Chapter 698 - 676: Running Straight Into It

Li Liang saw that Wei Xue was going to divorce him and was truly frightened. Previously, he wanted to divorce her, but she insisted on staying. The last incident was discussed at home and resolved that once done, she’d divorce him. Who knew she’d go back on her word? She’s proven unreliable.

He dared to resent but kept silent, later thinking if they wouldn’t divorce, then so be it. He’d just amuse himself and, at most, find someone else outside willing to bear a child for him secretly, problem solved.

Who could’ve known he hadn’t even found someone, when Ye Qing offered him a sum of money, asking him to ruin Lin Wan.

During school days, he drooled over Lin Wan, but she was too prickly.

Now that the opportunity arose, he wouldn’t miss it. But this unexpected mess? He still hasn’t figured out what’s going on.

Their fierce and provocative exchange, especially the disgusting photo-taking behavior of Wei the Third, terrified Ye Qing. She couldn’t think about anything else now, she had to snatch the camera from Wei the Third. Otherwise, they would have a hold over her for life.

As Ye Qing saw the Wei Family focusing on Li Liang, she fastened her belt, pounced on Wei the Third, grabbed the camera from his hands, and seized the opportunity to flee.

By the time the Wei Family realized what was happening, Ye Qing had already run out. Seeing this, the Wei Family hastily chased after her.

Two people stayed in the shack to drag out Li Liang, who was only wearing long underwear.

Ye Qing ran while trying to remove the camera film. She rarely handled such items and had no idea where the film compartment was. With the Wei Family hot on her heels, she threw the camera to the side in desperation.

Both sides of the path were fields. At this time, though not much was planted, finding anything in the dark was challenging. Getting herself clear and running back would be the best outcome.

If she truly couldn’t find it, it was fine as long as it didn’t end up in familiar hands.

They were numerous and burly, swiftly catching Ye Qing as she reached the roadside, knocking her to the ground. One of them advanced and struck Ye Qing’s head with an iron rod, causing blood to cover her face and Ye Qing to scream twice in pain. But it wasn’t over yet; Wei the Third and Wei the Second pounced like wolves. Cursing the helpless Ye Qing, who couldn’t stand up, they threw more insults. Ye Qing looked pitiful, lacking any dignity.

"Brother, why waste words with this woman? Quickly make her hand over the camera. Such a slut should be stripped and paraded on the streets."

"Where’s the camera? Where did you put it?" Wei the Third asked.

"I don’t know anything about the camera. Let go of me, or I’ll scream..."

"Scream, go ahead. Perfect time for everyone to see the whore you are." By now, Wei Xue, with disheveled Li Liang already in tow, had arrived.

Wei Xue laughed loudly as she heard Ye Qing intended to call for help, and directly yelled for her, "Come here, folks, catch the adulterer! Everyone come look! These shameless lovers secretly betray their spouses, engaging in sordid activities." With that, she slapped Ye Qing hard across the face.

"You!" Ye Qing tried to defend herself but didn’t dare to oppose since she was in a disadvantageous position.

"What’s your ’you’ supposed to mean?" Wei Xue sneered, "A married woman shamelessly seducing a married teacher—that’s the type of woman you are."

Ye Qing, clutching her face, was red-eyed and about to retort when she heard faint movements ahead on the road. Instantly on alert, her tears flowed like a broken string of beads as she cried out, "It wasn’t me! Your man forced me; I wasn’t willing. You’re wronging me. I’ll report you."

"Report? Go ahead, I’d like to see if you can win against me," Wei Xue retorted, as several Saozi arrived on bicycles.

Wei Xue had thought such a desolate place wouldn’t have anyone here, but didn’t expect people to pass by at such a late hour. Not being foolish, she hurriedly explained to them, "Folks, come see this shameless woman seducing my husband in the dead of night. Doing things behind my back that betray my daughter and me. How are we supposed to live? That vixen repeatedly seduces my man, and the two have even spawned a child." As Wei Xue cursed, she angrily scratched Ye Qing’s face.

"Ah... Big sisters, please help me. I’ve been forced. Save me," Ye Qing begged, crawling towards the Saozi.

Wei Xue didn’t give her a chance, yanked her collar, and flipped her over, leaving her even more pitiful.

"Oh dear, isn’t this... our neighbor, Little Sister Ye? What’s going on?"

Several Saozi came out of curiosity to see if anything was happening, hoping to catch a bit of gossip before heading back. Who knew they’d arrive to witness this scene.

No need to guess; just seeing Ye Qing’s state, her clothes, the red slap mark, and other injuries told them what had transpired.

They hadn’t expected one drama to end only to meet an even spicier situation.

An adultery scandal right in the act. How would Leader Mei from the team react upon learning this?

"Oh, I thought I saw Little Sister in the courtyard earlier. Isn’t there some misunderstanding?"

One of the Saozi, uncomfortable with adding fuel to the fire, asked a perfunctory question.

"Misunderstanding? We have solid evidence. Ladies, just look at their current state."

"Sister, don’t waste words with outsiders. Family scandals shouldn’t be aired. Let’s take them to the police station."

"Yes. Quickly, take them to the police station; I find it disgusting."

"Wife, wife, you can’t be so heartless, I was set up by this vile woman. She seduced me."

"I didn’t, I didn’t! Why would I be stupid enough to seduce you at a time like this?" Ye Qing couldn’t articulate her defense. Though justified, they had numbers and could twist reason into three parts. Besides, in her current state, she was undoubtedly disadvantaged.

She regretted it deeply now. Had she known, she’d have waited before dealing with Lin Wan. Referring to her own current state, if Mei Langchi learned of it, surely there’d be unpleasant consequences.

As Ye Qing struggled to figure out how to respond, in the shadows, the captain cleared his throat, "Alright, brothers, time for us to appear. Don’t let anyone escape; take everyone away, understood?"

"Boss, we should’ve intervened when they started fighting. Going now only benefits them," a younger member questioned naively.

"What do you know? We’re not actually sending the woman to labor reform; didn’t you see? There’s another figure behind those Saozi in the dark. Our goal is ensuring Li Liang doesn’t come out."

"...Oh... Who’s that man?"

"Likely the woman’s husband."

"Wow, what a hefty green hat that man wears. No wonder he doesn’t dare show his face."

....

"Who... Who’s there, shouting in the middle of the night, what’s going on?" In the dark, the captain rolled his eyes at the younger member, stepping from the bushes, and shone a flashlight at the group.

Wei the Boss and his crew also had flashlights. Illuminating each other revealed several uniformed figures approaching.

Others hadn’t realized it yet, but Ye Qing knew today’s mess was undoubtedly orchestrated by Han Yi and his wife. Given such commotion, Mei Langchi would surely learn about it sooner or later; she couldn’t just be taken down like this.

Lowering her head, her mind racing, she quickly rose and ran towards the police.

"Help, police officers help me. I’ve been forced, please make sure justice is served for me."

"Ye Qing, you whore, seducing my man and attempting ’the guilty party cries first.’ Your scheming is truly deep... Officers, these shameless lovers got caught doing indecent acts by me. Please deliver justice; I want to divorce this man... Divorce, I can’t live like this."

"What’s going on, shouting in the dead of night? Ahead is an important unit; you’re all so aggressive in the middle of the night. I suspect impure motives; everyone’s coming back for questioning to see if there’s any untrustworthy thoughts."

The captain’s repeated insinuations of impure motives and untrustworthy thoughts instantly made the group’s legs tremble; the gravity of the situation struck them. This was a burden none could bear.

Especially for the Saozi, who simply wanted some gossip entertainment, not getting tangled in anything serious. Otherwise, it might impact their husbands, and that’d be sinful.
