I am chasing a rough man in the 80s

Chapter 387: Chapter 387: Your Smile is an Eternal Contract in My Heart

Wang Cuihua, following the advice of her daughter-in-law, tried her best to pretend to be sad.

Her shamanistic roots were still intact and she managed to bring the atmosphere to its peak.

Around her, several women were moved to tears by her words. Everyone was lamenting, what a good child it was. How could she be gone just like that?

It was at this juncture that Suizi’s voice suddenly broke the silence.

"Catch him!"

The crowd had no idea what was happening. They looked around and saw a man in a gray short-sleeved shirt running. Yu Jingting swiftly kicked him and knocked him down.

The middle-aged women flocked over and surrounded the man in gray.

"Jingting, what’s going on?"

"He kidnapped my maiden."

The women gasped collectively. This was intolerable.

Just as they were moved by Wang Cuihua’s sorrow, they now harbored a deep hatred for this man.

They surrounded him. Some grabbed at his face, while others kicked him in the gut. Those who couldn’t squeeze into the melee were stomping their feet in frustration.

If they missed the chance to punish him and display their righteousness, they would spit at him, demonstrating their disdain.

In any era, stealing someone’s child was considered a highly disgraceful act.

The man in gray was beaten black and blue. He tried to defend himself, but few could understand his broken Mandarin, which only further solidified the belief that he was a human trafficker.

So, the women spat at him even more vehemently.

The Factory Director’s wife was at the forefront, waving her arms forcefully.

Wang Cuihua stood beside her. Seeing the Factory Director’s wife so passionate, she began to feel a strange fondness towards her.

"Ah! My nail is cracked, it hurts!" The Factory Director’s wife raised her hand. Her long nail was broken. Wang Cuihua quickly moved towards her, holding her hand with concern.

"I have some medicine at home. I’ll get it for you later!"

"It’s fine! This scumbag deserves a beating. If he doesn’t give us back our kids, none of us should let him go!"

As they looked at each other, they suddenly found that they were more amicable to each other.

Their hatred for the trafficker had overcome their differences, uniting these neighbors who usually found each other irritating.

The man in gray was dazed from the beating and couldn’t communicate due to the language barrier. He was beaten thoroughly and senselessly.

Seeing that enough damage had been done, Yu Jingting waved at the spectators.

"I’ll take him back home and question him properly. Once the child is found, we’ll celebrate."

Suizi watched from the side, thinking that they had made good use of him.

She had just moved into this community and was not very close with the neighbors yet, but this incident had certainly brought them closer.

The man in gray was taken back to their house. The heavy iron gate was locked with a clang. The people of the Yu family surrounded him with menacing smiles.

The man in gray felt terrified and retreated on the floor. He could sense a murderous intent from this family.

"If you want to live, you need to tell us everything," Yu Jingting said.

"I’m just a lackey, it has nothing to do with me!"

He stuttered the sentence several times, and Suizi barely understood it.

"We already know who sent you. If you want to live, you have to cooperate with us," Suizi said.

"I know nothing, I don’t know..." The man in gray hugged his head.

"It’s okay if you don’t know anything. I’ll help you remember— Dear, bring over the honey."

Suizi soon brought a jar of honey. Yu Jingting poured a bit of honey on the floor, and the man in gray, not knowing what he was going to do, looked on cluelessly.

"I know you have a lot of bugs back at your place. We northerners definitely can’t compete with you in that regard. Even our ants here, though they may not be as painful as yours when they bite, I’m a kind person..."

Yu Jingting paused.

The man in gray didn’t understand what he was saying, except the words "kind person".

"Are you going to let me go?"

"I intend to smear honey wherever ants like to bite."

Yu Jingting demonstrated again, worried that he would not understand.

Suizi and Wang Cuihua looked at each other with an expression of surprise. This kid is really witty.

The man in grey looked in the direction Jingting indicated and gasped.

This, this... cannot be!

"Just tell me what to say and I’ll cooperate!"

Yu Jingting curled his lips in a smirk.

"Wife, the big stuff!"

They did have a recording device at home!

The man in grey confessed everything in front of the honey jar.

Lord Si’s Foster Father, Old Man Hu, had summoned them. He only told them to deal with Jingting’s child but did not specify how.

After they kidnapped Luoluo, they had originally intended to smother her immediately.

But the child was too adorable, smiling at them.

Her bright little face softened even the cruelest of hearts, and they couldn’t do it.

But if they angered the old man, their days were numbered.

So, they compromised and placed the child in a laundry basin, leaving it up to fate whether she would survive or not.

The man in grey said they regretted it afterwards.

Because that night, all four of them had nightmares. They dreamt they had offended the gods and cut their lives short. They would live the rest of their lives impoverished.

It’d be okay if it was just one of them with this dream, but all four of them had the same dream, it was too creepy.

Today, they had been to the river to look for the child but found nothing.

So, the three others went to the temple to pray, sending over this youngest one to scout.

Caught by Suizi’s family red-handed, he experienced the righteous wrath of a group of middle-aged women. Now, the man in grey believed the nightmare, regretting what he had done, and pleaded with Suizi through his tears.

If they hadn’t kidnapped the child, they wouldn’t have lost their fortune.

But Suizi felt no sympathy for him.

These evil people weren’t regretting due to their conscience. They were just afraid of retribution.

Yu Jingting asked him a few more questions about the disgraceful things Old Man Hu had done.

The man in grey faltered a bit. Under the intimidation of the honey jar, he relayed a few more incidents.

Judging by his age, he hadn’t been involved with the Hu family for long, so he probably only knew so much.

Seeing that he couldn’t get any more information, Yu Jingting gave him a severe beating in the small dark room, and then threw the unconscious man outside.

This man definitely wouldn’t dare to return to the border. He was afraid of Old Man Hu’s retribution and forced to leave his hometown, paying the price for his evil actions in his youth.

Yu Jingting made a duplicate of the tape. Along with a letter written by Suizi, he led a group of brothers to the guest house where the kidnappers were staying.

The remaining three were still waiting for the man in grey to return after their prayers at the temple. But instead of the man in grey, they were confronted by Yu Jingting.

There was a loud clanging noise, followed by miserable screams that almost blew the roof off.

In less than five minutes, these men were caught and tied up.

The trio watched in dread as Yu Jingting, cracking his knuckles with a wicked smile, advanced towards them.

Half an hour later, a cheerful Yu Jingting strolled out humming a tune.

Suizi and Luoluo were waiting outside. Seeing Yu Jingting come out, Suizi held Luoluo and walked in.

She pointed at those unlucky men on the floor, speaking to Luoluo:

"Mommy and Daddy will always protect you."

Luoluo responded with a bout of incomprehensible baby talk, and then gave her signature big smile, causing Suizi’s eyes to well up.

The innocent smile on a child’s face directed at their parents is as powerful as the strongest bond.

To safeguard that smile, she was willing to pay any price, and she believed Yu Jingting felt the same.
