I am chasing a rough man in the 80s

Chapter 738: Chapter 738: Accidentally Hitting the Mark

Suizi underestimated how shameless the man next to her could be.

He worried that the more genuine her emotions were, the harsher they would be when they erupted.

The next day, multiple children gathered neatly in front of the bedroom door, knocking.

They had agreed to go sketching today, and the kids prepared in advance.

Yet when the door finally opened, it was a shirtless Yu Jingting who appeared.

"We can’t go today."

"What?" The Little Luobos collectively wailed.

"Why?" Jiaojiao asked.

"Your sister-in-law, she’s... scared." Yu Jingting blocked the door, preventing the three kids from entering. All they could see was the bedroom shrouded in darkness, courtesy of the drawn curtains.

Suizi buried her head in the quilt, angrily hitting his pillow.

She was indeed scared—scared by his shamelessness!

What happened to him turning himself in and receiving lighter punishment?

But this guy went ahead and "doubled down" on Suizi!

After sending the children off, Yu Jingting closed the door, approached the bed, and solemnly said,

"Actually, I’m not that despotic or tyrannical."

"Why did you suddenly decide to fart this?" her muffled voice came from under the quilt.

"Oh, seems like you haven’t learnt your lesson?"

"Yeah, yeah, yeah, you’re right!" Suizi began to play the total slackers.

She decided to go to her mother’s place to tattle in a bit. The question is, would she be able to get up... Ouch.

While Yu Jingting was chastising her verbally, he knew that given her nerve, the likelihood of her being truly scared by such trivial matters was very small. Nevertheless, he had put aside all his work for the day, opting to stay at home and keep her company. Even when Suizi tried to shoo him away, he wouldn’t leave.

When Chen Lijun and her husband came over, they saw their son-in-law feeding Suizi with a spoon.

Suizi was half-reclining on the bed, her head swaying from side to side to dodge his spoon.

"Mom and Dad, look at her. Doesn’t she look like a queen?" Yu Jingting asked.

"A queen? No, she looks like a frog that got run over by a tractor on the road."

"Are you really my mother? Excuse me, lady, I think you walked into the wrong room." Suizi muttered. This pregnant lady was not likable at all.

"I came to check on you. I heard you ran into that psychopath again last night?"

It was only when Jiaojiao led the Little Luobos to her place for breakfast that Chen Lijun and her husband learned about their maiden’s encounter with a bad guy the night before.

Fan Huang didn’t even bother attending his classes; he came directly to check on the children.

Instead of seeing a pale-faced terrified little pitiful girl, all he saw was a spoilt girl refusing to eat her meal.

"I will urge my subordinates to check on the progress of the case. Jingting will take Suizi to Uncle Wang for a pulse reading later," Fan Huang said.

"Is that really necessary?!" Suizi was feeling guilty.

Old Doctor Wang was a national level traditional Chinese medicine practitioner. Since she wasn’t ill, wouldn’t she be making things worse if she went there? What if Old Doctor Wang took her pulse and found out that she was not frightened, but was instead weak due to excessive "clapping", a homonym for fright in Chinese? Wouldn’t that completely disgrace her entire family?

"Are you really this delicate now, Chen Hansui? Can’t you even feed yourself?" Seeing Suizi acting so exaggeratedly, Chen Lijun couldn’t help but reprimand her.

Not only did Suizi need someone to feed her, she even refused to eat the food that her son-in-law was feeding her.

"Are you refusing to drink this rice porridge because he added salt to it?" Suizi revealed the secret.

Yu Jingting made breakfast. The kids liked to add some sugar to their porridge, but he mistook salt for sugar.

"That’s why the three kids ran off to my place for breakfast..." Chen Lijun clicked her tongue twice, "Eating some salt helps to replenish the water content in your body. You love to cry so much, you must be dehydrated."

"Am I really your daughter? Dad, look, my mom is teaming up with Jingting to bully me."

Suizi turned to her father, complaining about Chen Lijun and Fan Huang.

"Is this salt?" Yu Jingting took a sip for himself, "Yuck, it’s awful."

"Forget it. I’ll make a new batch for you later."

"Look, Jingting hasn’t even found the time to eat because he’s been busy caring for you. Stop being so critical," Fan Huang consoled Suizi, hinting that she should finish drinking the porridge, no matter how bitter it tasted.

Discouraging Jingting from cooking would only make him less motivated in the future...

"It’s nothing serious. You two should go to work." No sooner had Suizi finished her sentence than the home phone rang.

Yu Jingting answered it.

"The local police station? Got it, we’ll be there soon."

"What’s wrong?"

Everyone looked at Yu Jingting.

"The police station wants us to go there."

"Didn’t you finish giving all your statements yesterday? Why are they calling you again?" Chen Lijun asked. She couldn’t help but worry for her daughter. Could it be that Suizi’s pepper spray had temporarily blinded the stalker?

"I’m not sure about the specifics, but the tone over the phone was very polite. I’ll take Suizi there."

"Old Fan, should you make a call?" Chen Lijun still felt uneasy.

"No need for now. If Suizi had indeed blinded them, they wouldn’t be politely asking her to come; rather, it should be part of routine investigation."

Fan Huang was familiar with these procedures.

If their family was at fault, there wouldn’t have been a call. They would have simply showed up at the front door.

As it turned out, Fan Huang guessed correctly.

The call did not concern Suizi blinding someone with pepper spray, nor Yu Jingting hurting someone.

The police wanted her to go in to assist in an investigation.

Because the psychopath Suizi had casually knocked out had been arrested and now refused to speak human language. He kept muttering incoherently, only occasionally lucid, and then he would just repeatedly mutter one thing.

"What does he keep muttering?" Yu Jingting narrowed his eyes.

"He wants to... molest your wife."

The police officer’s embarrassed expression indicated that the original words certainly couldn’t have been that polite. It must have been something more direct.

Yu Jingting retorted with ten statements that were more direct than the original. He should have wasted that kid yesterday.

The police officer was left flabbergasted.

This guy had a knack for cursing. Each sentence was harsher than the previous one.

If not for Suizi stopping him, Yu Jingting could have gone on cursing for a while longer.

"You guys didn’t invite me here just to tell me that he’s been fixating on my wife, did you?"

"Well, we suspect he might be involved in two rape-and-murder cases, but he seems to have mental problems and we couldn’t get much information from him. We wish to ask your wife to talk with the suspect. We noticed that the suspect seems to have an obsession with girls with lip rings. We consulted a doctor from the mental hospital, and they mentioned he might have been stimulated in this aspect."

"Lip rings?! Is he related to the missing girl from the Art School?!" Suizi was taken aback.

The police officer solemnly nodded. While the investigation was still ongoing, this man was a major suspect.

"You want to use my wife as bait?! Hell no, you can look for someone else!" Yu Jingting spit out another curse. If they dared to persuade him further, he would curse these men as well.

"Please wait. Let me discuss this with my wife."

Suizi pulled Yu Jingting to the side and spent a good amount of time persuading him. Finally, Yu Jingting reluctantly agreed to let her try, but he had one condition: aside from being protected by police officers, he would accompany her.

With a psychopath like him, who knew what he might do.

Things went surprisingly smoothly. Suizi had barely said two sentences when the madman confessed everything.

It turned out that when this man was young, he was abused by his stepmother, who was a beautiful woman with a lip ring. So when he grew up, he wanted to find a woman like her to take revenge. Suizi resembled his stepmother greatly, which was why he was far more obsessed with her than anyone else.

"So, you’ve been stalking me since our random encounter yesterday?" Suizi felt a chill down her spine.
