Ding Mei instinctively wiped her neck, then looked down and saw her hand was covered in blood.

"what!"

Ding Mei screamed in fright, her hand slipped, and the kitchen knife fell to the ground.

Director Xu seized the opportunity, stepped forward and kicked the cleaver away, then together with Director Wu from the neighborhood committee, twisted Ding Mei's arms behind her back, one on each side.

"be honest."

Director Xu's eyes were fierce. He was no longer the kind and gentle person he was when chatting with them in the office. He looked like a demon, radiating coldness.

"Honey, are you alright?"

Xi Beizhan finally arrived. After pushing through the crowd, he only glanced at the situation in the courtyard. He ignored Ding Mei, who had dropped the cleaver, and didn't offer to help. He scanned the entire area with his eyes and finally spotted his beloved wife in the corner by the gate.

The tall Xi Beizhan stood in front of Luo Yu and immediately began to touch her.

"Honey, how are you? Why aren't you saying anything? Are you scared? Or did she hurt you?"

Before Luo Yu, who was frantically trying to block Xi Beizhan's large hand, could respond, Xi Beizhan suddenly stopped and turned around to glare at Ding Mei with a fierce expression.

"Damn it, it's fine if you're courting death, but it's not okay if you scare my wife. I'll fuck you to death."

As he spoke, Xi Beizhan raised his foot and rushed towards Ding Mei, reaching out his hand to slap her.

Director Xu was forcefully pressing down on the struggling Ding Mei when he saw Xi Beizhan rushing over to hit Ding Mei. He quickly released her and reached out to stop him.

"Captain Xi, please speak properly. You can't hit people."

Xi Beizhan got angry and didn't give face to anyone. He was already fast and skilled, so he dodged it in a flash.

"Snapped"

A resounding slap landed on Ding Mei's face.

Ding Mei was hit so hard that she staggered and fell to the ground instantly.

Even Director Wu, who was trying to hold her back, couldn't stop her. Instead, Ding Mei pulled him down, and he fell head over heels onto Ding Mei.

Fortunately, Director Wu is a woman. If it had been a man, she might have had to write a self-criticism when they got back.

"Hey, you little bastard, I'm still here. You hit me pretty hard."

Director Wu, supporting his aching back, climbed off Ding Mei and glared fiercely at Xi Beizhan.

You brat, if I hadn't watched you grow up, I would have definitely swindled a hundred or two from you this time.

Xi Beizhan wasn't satisfied with just one slap and wanted to hit him again. At this moment, Luo Yu finally reacted and rushed over, grabbing Xi Beizhan's clothes before he could make a move.

"Xi Beizhan, I'm fine, don't do anything."

Upon hearing Luo Yu's voice, Xi Beizhan immediately stopped what he was doing and turned to look at Luo Yu.

"Honey, you're alright? That's great, you're alright."

Xi Beizhan laughed like a fool, holding Luo Yu and spinning her around.

Luo Yu was so embarrassed that she yelled angrily, "Put me down!"

Xi Beizhan was very obedient. He stopped immediately when Luo Yu shouted. He gently put Luo Yu down, then stood at attention with a stern face, waiting for his wife's instructions.

Luo Yu gasped for breath and glared at Xi Beizhan. "How could you hit someone? She's just a little girl."

Xi Beizhan frowned and said coldly, "In my eyes, there is no distinction between men and women. What do I care about men and women? In my eyes, there is only the difference between friends and enemies. Anyone who hurts you is an enemy, and I will eliminate the enemy and avenge you no matter what the cost."

Everyone twitched their lips upon hearing this, and Luo Yu was speechless.

"I'm not dead yet!"

What revenge? She was just watching the show. What business is it of hers? She didn't even rush in, so how could she be hurt?

Seeking revenge? I think you're just trying to stir up trouble for me.

Luo Yu glanced around and saw that the crowd around them was staring at the two of them with shocked expressions.

Luo Yu rubbed his forehead, looking exasperated, and said in a low voice, "Aren't you going to back up? Do you want everyone to laugh at us?"

Xi Beizhan turned his face away and muttered under his breath, looking aggrieved, "It's not okay to scare him either."

Luo Yu was moved upon hearing this.

No one has ever protected her like this in both of her lifetimes. It feels so good to be protected.

Xi Beizhan seemed to agree, but he didn't back down. He remained standing in front of Luo Yu, looking warily at Ding Mei, who was groaning on the ground. He clearly didn't trust Ding Mei and was afraid that she would hurt Luo Yu.

The Ding family was stunned, watching helplessly as Ding Mei got slapped, until Luo Yu stepped forward and carefully apologized before they realized what had happened.

Even if Xi Beizhan's actions were wrong, the Ding family dared not say anything. Rank is power, and Xi Beizhan was the captain of the security department, highly regarded by the mine, and also the reserve head of the security department. Offending him would not benefit the Ding family.

Old Ding didn't dare to openly make a decision for his daughter, so he could only glare at Xi Beizhan secretly before squatting down with his hands on his head.

Director Wu and Director Xu were furious, but there was nothing they could do about Xi Beizhan. He was protecting his wife, and no one could say anything. They could only consider the Ding family unlucky.

Director Wu pulled Ding Mei up and impatiently wiped away the tears on her face.

"Stop crying, how dare you cry? Look at the mess you've made!"

It was wrong of you to flee back from the Northwest, so how could you threaten the government with a knife?

Sending you back is for your own good, why can't you understand?

This incident happened under the jurisdiction of the subdistrict office, and Director Wu will also be affected, inevitably receiving criticism from her superiors, which is quite upsetting for her.

Ding Mei cried and lay on the ground. "Director Wu, I'm so miserable. The Northwest is too harsh. I couldn't bear it anymore, so I ran away and came back."

I know this is wrong, but I really can't take it anymore!

I have a boyfriend, and I came back this time because I wanted to marry him, but my family disagrees and insists on sending me back.

"Director Wu, I want to get married, I want to get married."

Director Wu sighed, "Why didn't you want to get married sooner? You should have discussed it with your partner before you signed up to go to the countryside. What's the point of getting married now that the person's already gone?"

You should just do your job properly when you go. It's not like you're the only one going. Isn't everyone doing the same thing?

You think you're the only one who knows suffering? Are you stupid? Don't you know it?

There's nothing wrong with enduring some hardship. As Chairman Mao said, going to the countryside is for the purpose of building a new rural area. The vast number of farmers are waiting for you educated and knowledgeable young people to help them.

"This is such an honorable thing, how could you run away?"

Director Xu also chimed in with advice, "That's right, you've run away. Have you thought about your family? How much of an impact has this had on your family and the mine?"

Have you thought about the consequences if the Youth Affairs Office and the Management Bureau find out about this?

Upon hearing Director Xu mention the Administration Bureau, Ding Mei hiccuped and looked at Director Xu with a frightened expression.

Ding Mei, who was originally quite pretty, had half of her face swollen after being slapped by Xi Beizhan. With her pig-headed face, she still put on a wronged and aggrieved posture. Her appearance was simply unbearable to look at.

Director Wu tried to hold back, but couldn't, and turned his face away.

Director Xu also wanted to turn her back on her, but seeing that Director Wu was even faster, he had no choice but to patiently squat down and persuade her again: "Comrade Ding Mei, listen to me, go back quickly before the Management Bureau finds out. We can issue you a medical certificate, so that even if you go back, no one will make things difficult for you because of this."
