Chapter 340: Chapter 340: Arrogant Landlord_1

Shen Dong, on his side, hung up the phone and continued to drive.

After half an hour, he arrived in front of an old rental house on the outskirts.

This type of house is a self-built home by the local residents; apart from their own living space, any spare rooms would be rented out.

The landlord had a spare room, which he used for renting out.

Fang Jingwei could only afford such a house back then.

Even so, she had shared the rent with a former colleague.

The rent was one thousand six hundred, eight hundred per person.

"Shen Dong, Yuyan, thank you. I’m leaving now, bye," Fang Jingwei said, and then she got out of the car.

"Alright, bye," Shen Dong and Chen Yuyan both waved goodbye.

"Ah! Get the hell out!"

Just then, a piercing scream came from the rental house.

"That’s Yang Fang!" Fang Jingwei’s face changed color, and without having time to say anything else to Shen Dong and Chen Yuyan, she hurriedly ran into the rental house.

Shen Dong and Chen Yuyan exchanged a look, and Shen Dong said, "It looks like something has happened. I’ll go check it out."

Chen Yuyan had the same thought, "Honey, I’ll go with you."

Shen Dong had no objections, nodded, "Alright, let’s go check it out together."

The two of them got out of the car and entered the rental house.

They walked up to the second floor, which was the entirety of the house.

Furthermore, Fang Jingwei had already explained the rental situation to them.

She had also said that she rented the place with a former colleague named Yang Fang.

Fang Jingwei ran up to the second floor and arrived at the room’s doorway. The door was open, revealing the situation inside at a glance.

On a sofa in the small living room, a fat middle-aged man was on top of a young woman, tearing at the young woman’s clothes as she struggled and screamed.

The fat middle-aged man was Fang Jingwei’s landlord, and the young woman was her former colleague, Yang Fang.

"Zhong Guanglin, you asshole!" Fang Jingwei was furious, immediately rushed in, picked up a chair beside her, and smashed it onto the landlord Zhong Guanglin’s back.

"Ah!" Zhong Guanglin cried out in pain and let go of the young woman beneath him.

Fang Jingwei grabbed the landlord’s collar from behind, pulled him to the ground, and then helped her colleague up, moving together towards the doorway.

From this series of actions, it was clear that Fang Jingwei was not a frail woman.

Faced with a sudden situation, she would be a bit panicked at first, but quickly calmed down and figured out how to deal with it.

Her decisive move to hit the landlord with a chair and pull him away was not something most women could do.

Moreover, to pull her colleague up and retreat together to the room’s doorway under such circumstances was even more commendable.

They were both women, who are naturally at a physical disadvantage.

If the landlord were to go berserk, they would definitely not be able to beat him.

Retreating to the doorway, if the situation turned dire, they could run away immediately.

This way, their personal safety was guaranteed.

"Jingwei, you’re back. If you hadn’t come, I would have been ruined by that beast..." Fang Jingwei’s colleague Yang Fang was more fragile, with tears streaming down nonstop.

"It’s alright now," Fang Jingwei consoled and handed Yang Fang some tissue to wipe her tears.

"Fang Jingwei, so you’re back. You bitch, you spoiled my fun," Zhong Guanglin glared furiously.

If Fang Jingwei hadn’t come back, he would have certainly succeeded.

"Zhong Guanglin, I didn’t expect you to be such a person!" Fang Jingwei shouted angrily.

When they came to rent the place, the landlord had seemed very nice.

And judging by his appearance, he seemed like a thoroughly nice guy.

They had been living here for over a year, and there had never been any issues.

Who would have thought that the other party would actually do something like this.

"Heh heh, I’ve been wanting to play with you two for a while, but unfortunately, I never got the chance. Today, I asked Yang Fang when you’d be back. She said you ran into an old classmate and went out to dine with them. I thought you would’ve returned much later. It’s such a pity you came back so early," Zhong Guanglin said with a sleazy laugh.

"What you’re doing is illegal!" Fang Jingwei exclaimed angrily.

"Illegal? With this kind of thing, as long as I don’t leave any evidence, and no one sees it—only she knows—if I adamantly deny it, who can do anything to me?"

Zhong Guanglin was quite arrogant, as he clearly had thought this through.

As long as he left no evidence and no one witnessed, even if Yang Fang called the police, they would be unable to touch him.

After all, the police require evidence to proceed with a case. You can’t just have a woman point at a man and accuse him of something, and then have the police send him to jail.

If that were the case, the world would be in chaos.

Zhong Guanglin sneered, "Now, I haven’t actually done anything, so at most, it’s harassment, and that won’t amount to much."

Fang Jingwei’s face turned a furious shade of iron: "You are shameless!"

Angry as she was, she really couldn’t do anything to Zhong Guanglin.

Zhong Guanglin spread his hands: "Shameless is just shameless. Today was just a feeler. I’ll waive this month’s rent for Yang Fang as compensation."

Although he hadn’t made any substantial progress, he had still enjoyed a small perk, and waiving several hundred in rent was no big deal.

Yang Fang’s eyes reddened as she roared, "I will make sure you go to prison!"

She was truly enraged, as the situation had nearly turned disastrous.

If Fang Jingwei hadn’t returned in time, the outcome could have been unthinkable.

Zhong Guanglin laughed, "Yang Fang, are you deaf? Didn’t you hear what I just said? I haven’t done anything to you, at most it’s just harassment, and even if you quit your job and spend money on a lawyer to sue me, I won’t go to jail. At most, I’ll be detained for a few days. But are you willing to spend the time and money? And even if you do, it might not result in what you want. Maybe the police will just give me a lecture."

"You..." Yang Fang trembled with rage.

But she had to admit, Zhong Guanglin did have a point.

Even if she paid a huge price, at most it would result in the police detaining Zhong Guanglin for a few days.

And that wasn’t even a certainty.

Was it worth it?

For someone like her, living at the bottom of society, the cost had to be considered.

"Heh, as long as you’re sane, you won’t do such a thing. I’ve already waived eight hundred yuan of your rent. You should be satisfied. If you think that’s not enough, I could just waive next month’s rent as well," Zhong Guanglin said with a triumphant laugh.

Just then, a voice spoke up.

"You wish. I’ll make sure you get detained, and I will make it happen!"

Shen Dong and Chen Yuyan appeared at the door, with Shen Dong speaking.

The two of them had been listening from outside for a while now.

They more or less understood the whole situation.

Shen Dong and Chen Yuyan were quite outraged by Zhong Guanglin’s vile behavior.

If Shen Dong were just an ordinary person, he might have been powerless.

But now Shen Dong was a billionaire with dedicated lawyers.

He could simply assign a lawyer to handle this case.

With the testimony of Fang Jingwei and Yang Fang, just based on the harassment alone, they could ensure Zhong Guanglin was detained.

Moreover, he had top-level hacking skills and could investigate whether the landlord had any past misconduct.

If that were the case, it would be even better.
