Live fortune telling: Sending a top star to prison right from the start.

The faint light of the winter dawn spilled onto the streets and alleys of the urban village.

Yun Lei went out early in the morning to sell scrap metal to earn money, and finally bought breakfast back in the morning.

Xiao Peng had already woken up, and Yun Lei approached him.

"Xiaopeng, Brother Yunlei is back and brought you breakfast."

Xiao Peng raised his head slightly, a hint of joy on his face.

"Brother Yunlei, you're finally back."

Yun Lei peeled an egg and placed it in his palm: "Eat it."

After Xiaopeng finished eating, Yunlei offered him another one, which he refused.

"Brother Yunlei, I've already eaten one."

Yun Lei shook the bag in his hand to let him hear the sound.

"And some more."

Xiao Peng kept shaking his head: "Eating too much will get me beaten up."

Yun Lei was stunned. He noticed the faint bruises on Xiao Peng's arm and felt angry.

Xiao Peng's body trembled slightly, and his voice was choked with sobs.

“Every time I eat a little more, he gets very angry and hits me.”

A surge of anger welled up in Yun Lei's heart. He couldn't imagine how anyone could treat an innocent child like that.

He secretly vowed in his heart that he would never let Shang Xiaopeng get hurt again.

He gently held Xiaopeng's hand: "Don't be afraid, with Brother Yunlei here, no one will bully you anymore."

Xiao Peng's hand trembled slightly in Yun Lei's palm, and Yun Lei could feel the fear and unease in his heart.

Yun Lei tried to calm Xiao Peng down, speaking with anticipation.

"Xiao Peng, today I'm going to introduce you to some of Yun Lei's good brothers. They will protect you just like Yun Lei, so don't be afraid."

A hint of nervousness and curiosity appeared on Xiao Peng's face.

"Okay, Brother Yunlei."

Soon, Yun Lei's good friends gathered around, and Yun Lei introduced them one by one.

They greeted Xiaopeng warmly and said they would protect him from now on.

Xiao Peng's tightly pursed lips slowly parted, revealing a happy smile. He could feel the kindness and sincerity of these people.

……

Meanwhile on the other side.

In the police station's reception room, a middle-aged man anxiously told the police his story.

"Officer, my son has gone missing! Please help me!"

His voice trembled noticeably with anxiety, and his eyes were filled with fear and helplessness.

The man's name is Liu Qiang, and his son's name is Liu Xiaopeng, who just turned 7 years old this year.

According to Liu Qiang's description, Xiao Peng went to school as usual yesterday morning.

But when school was over, he didn't go home.

At first, Liu Qiang thought the child was just playing and had been delayed on the way, but as time passed, an ominous premonition gradually rose in his heart.

He anxiously searched around the neighborhood, asking Xiaopeng's classmates, teachers, and neighbors, but no one knew where he was.

Various terrifying thoughts kept flashing through Liu Qiang's mind; he dared not imagine what his son might have gone through.

The police carefully recorded the information provided by Liu Qiang while calming him down.

"Please don't worry, we will launch an investigation immediately. Think carefully, has your child shown any unusual behavior recently? Or has he/she been in contact with any strangers?"

Liu Qiang tried to calm himself down, and he recalled the events.

“Xiao Peng has been acting normally lately. He has always been very well-behaved. He just goes to school, comes home from school, and does his homework every day. I have never heard him mention having any contact with strangers.”

"Okay, don't worry, we will definitely help you find your child."

Police quickly activated the emergency plan for missing children and reviewed surveillance footage from around Xiaopeng's school and on his way home.

The footage shows that Xiaopeng did indeed walk out of the school gate as usual after school, but at a corner, he walked into a nearby alley and then disappeared.

Upon witnessing this scene, Liu Qiang nearly collapsed to the ground, crying out in despair.

"Xiaopeng, where are you?!"

The police expedited their investigation, conducting a thorough search of the area.

They visited all the nearby residents and businesses, trying to find any clues related to Xiaopeng's disappearance.

Police also released information about Xiaopeng's disappearance through social media and news media, hoping to find the child with the help of the general public.

Liu Qiang stayed at the police station, his eyes glued to the phone and computer screen, afraid of missing any news about Xiao Peng.

When I find you, you'll be sorry. I'll show you what despair and fear truly mean.

If you dare to run away from me like your mother did, I'll show you what it means to wish you were dead.

The police are doing everything they can, knowing that time is of the essence for missing children; every delay increases the danger to the child.

During the intense investigation, the police discovered some clues.

Following this lead, they investigated further and gradually narrowed down the scope to urban villages.

Upon receiving the news, Liu Qiang was deeply grateful to the police.

He walked out of the police station with a grim expression.

I'm about to find you, and I'm really looking forward to seeing your trembling, scared expression.

……

At that dimly lit street corner, the atmosphere was as tense as a bowstring about to snap.

Xiao Peng's face was filled with fear and unease.

"So you are here."

Xiao Peng's little hand was tightly gripped by Liu Qiang, and his body was involuntarily dragged away.

Xiao Peng cried and struggled, "No, Brother Yunlei, save me!"

Liu Qiang's face was gloomy, his eyes filled with determination, and he was whispering a rebuke to Xiao Peng, trying to stop him from struggling.

"If you cry again, believe me, I'll deal with you right now."

Yun Lei rushed out from the side.

"Let him go!"

His gaze was fixed on Liu Qiang, his eyes burning with fury.

Yun Lei strode up to them, spread his arms, and blocked their way.

"Give Xiaopeng back to me!"

Yun Lei's powerful voice echoed through the narrow street.

His brows were furrowed, veins bulged on his forehead, and every expression was filled with determination.

Liu Qiang was startled by Yun Lei's sudden appearance, but he quickly regained his senses and glared fiercely at Yun Lei.

"This is my son, mind your own business!"

As he spoke, he pulled Xiaopeng forcefully, trying to break through Yun Lei's obstruction.

Xiao Peng's eyes were filled with tears, and he cried out in a sob.

"Brother Yunlei, save me!"

"Xiao Peng, don't be afraid."

Without hesitation, Yun Lei stepped forward and grabbed Liu Qiang's arm tightly with both hands to stop him.

"You are not fit to be his father!"

Yun Lei exerted force while shouting rebukes them, and their arms remained locked in a stalemate in the air.

Enraged, Liu Qiang released Xiao Peng's hand and suddenly threw a punch at Yun Lei.

Yun Lei dodged the attack easily by sidestepping, shielding Xiao Peng with his body while keeping his eyes fixed on Liu Qiang vigilantly.

"I won't let you hurt him. You're not taking him away today."

A ruthless glint flashed in Liu Qiang's eyes. He suddenly stopped what he was doing and pretended to compromise.

"Okay, I won't take him with me."

Yun Lei relaxed his guard slightly, and at that moment, Liu Qiang suddenly slammed his knee into Yun Lei's abdomen.

"I'll teach you to mind your own business!"

Yun Lei winced in pain and his body instinctively bent over, but he still endured the pain and quickly adjusted his posture to stand in front of Xiao Peng again.

He focused intently on dealing with Liu Qiang's relentless attacks.

Liu Qiang, like a mad beast, wildly swung his fists, trying to break through Yun Lei's defenses and take Xiao Peng away.

Yun Lei understood Liu Qiang's moves. He would sometimes turn to the side, sometimes lean back, and every movement avoided Liu Qiang's attacks.

Seeing that he had failed to hit Yun Lei with several moves, Liu Qiang became increasingly angry.

"You little brat, I'll show you how to kill you."

He shouted and lunged at Yun Lei like a cannonball, determined to knock Yun Lei down.

Yun Lei had anticipated this, and he dodged to the side.

Liu Qiang used too much force and missed, instantly losing his balance.

His head pierced straight down into a sharp object on the ground.

The sharp weapon pierced the scalp mercilessly, and blood gushed out like a fountain.

Liu Qiang swayed a few times, then collapsed into a pool of blood like a puppet with its strings cut, falling into a coma.

Upon seeing this, Yun Lei was startled, but he quickly calmed down.

He knew that this place was not safe to stay in for long and that he had to get Xiaopeng away from this dangerous place immediately.

He turned around, took Xiaopeng's still trembling little hand, and said softly.

"Xiao Peng, don't be afraid, Brother Yun Lei will take you away from here right now."

Xiao Peng was already pale with fright at the sudden turn of events and could only mechanically let Yun Lei carry him.

Yun Lei led Xiao Peng through the narrow streets in a hurry, glancing back warily from time to time, as if afraid that someone was chasing them.

Their footsteps echoed rapidly on the stone pavement, as if the drumbeats of fate were urging them to flee.

Xiao Peng heard Liu Qiang's cries as he fell to the ground and asked, sobbing.

"Brother Yunlei, is he going to die?"

Yun Lei stopped, squatted down, and put his hands on Xiao Peng's shoulders.

"Xiao Peng, this is his own fault, we did not hurt him."

Xiao Peng nodded as if he understood but not quite.

Yun Lei brought Xiao Peng back to their residence and let Xiao Peng sit down to rest.

He then carefully surveyed his surroundings to ensure there was no danger.

Yun Lei sat down next to Xiao Peng, gently patting his back to comfort him.

But he couldn't calm down; he knew that today's events were far from over.

Whether it's facing potential retaliation from Liu Qiang or possible legal disputes.

At this moment, all he can do is take it one step at a time and wait for the unknown twist of fate.

……

The sound of sirens pierced the city's hustle and bustle as Fang Jinhan and Lu Jiaheng rushed to the scene after receiving a report that someone had fainted and was bleeding heavily.

The scene was chaotic, with a crowd gathered and a pool of blood on the ground that was shocking to behold. Liu Qiang, who was unconscious, was rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment.

"Police are investigating a case. Please do not take pictures and do not come close."

Fang Jinhan and Lu Jiaheng immediately began their investigation. They retrieved surveillance footage from the surrounding area and quickly identified Yun Lei, who had clashed with Liu Qiang, and learned that Yun Lei had taken Xiao Peng and fled towards the urban village.

The two rushed to the urban village, where houses were densely packed and roads were intricate.

As soon as they entered the village, they noticed something was off; some people's eyes kept wandering over them, intentionally or unintentionally.

Just as they were about to approach and ask, they scattered and fled.

"Be careful."

Lu Jiaheng shielded Fang Jinhan from the things they threw.

"No, right?"

"fine."

Fang Jinhan and Lu Jiaheng immediately chased after them.

They chased them to a secluded spot in a corner of the village, lifted a black cloth, and found Yun Lei and Xiao Peng in a cage.

Yun Lei shielded Xiao Peng behind him, looking wary.

Yun Lei was then taken to the police station for questioning.

He loudly recounted Liu Qiang's evil deeds, claiming that he was only trying to protect Xiao Peng from Liu Qiang's domestic violence.

Lu Jiaheng set out to collect evidence, including photos of Xiao Peng's injuries and testimonies from neighbors.

These pieces of evidence gradually pieced together a cruel truth: Liu Qiang had been committing domestic violence against Xiao Peng for a long time.

The surveillance footage proved that Yun Lei's actions were legitimate self-defense during Liu Qiang's assault.

As the case gradually became clearer, news came from the hospital that Liu Qiang had fallen into a deep coma due to the severity of his injuries and had become a vegetable.

After returning to the police station, Fang Jinhan and Lu Jiaheng meticulously prepared the case report.

Attach all the collected evidence to ensure that Yun Lei's legitimate self-defense can be fairly determined.

They deeply understand that, within the framework of the law, upholding justice is not only about protecting the victims, but also about respecting the rights of every citizen.

This incident serves as a wake-up call, ringing in everyone's hearts and drawing greater attention to the issue of domestic violence and the definition and complexity of legitimate self-defense.
