"Why did you tie up my son? Let him go quickly!" The aunt shouted and tried to push Ye Shuang, who was standing beside her.
But Ye Shuang just stood there. His height, which was two heads taller than the aunt, was like a tall tower. He glanced down at the aunt coldly. "If you talk nonsense again, I'll tie you up too."
"On what grounds did you catch my son?" The aunt wasn't willing to back down either. She put her hands on her hips, looking ready to start a public quarrel.
"On what grounds?" Ye Shuang kicked the tool bag beside him. "He pried open my door. Do you think I don't have the right to subdue a criminal?"
"That's not my son's doing!"
At this moment, the tied-up boy seemed to have found a savior and started shouting, "It's not mine. I was just passing by here. He beat me up without distinguishing right from wrong and even had people tie me up!"
Bai Yuyou stood behind Ye Shuang at this time. Her dazed expression made her look a bit at a loss.
"Did you hear that, neighbors? This person is framing my son. My son has good grades at school and is a good boy. How could he do such a thing?"
"I think he's trying to frame my son! He's trying to extort money! You all have to keep your eyes open!"
The neighbors who were watching the commotion exchanged glances. For a moment, they didn't know who was telling the truth. After all, when they came out, Ye Shuang had already pinned the boy to the ground.
However, a neighbor who lived on the same floor as the aunt spoke up.
"That kid is really well-behaved and filial. I don't think he would do such a thing. Is there some misunderstanding?"
"Indeed. He's so young and still studying. He shouldn't be a bad person, right?" A female neighbor, seeing the boy who was the same age as her younger brother tied up like this, said with a bit of pity.
"Let it go. Nothing really happened anyway."
In the face of the neighbors' chatter, Ye Shuang calmly lit a cigarette for himself. Then he slowly looked at the female neighbor who had just spoken. "If you're so kind-hearted, let this man tie you up with these tools and take a lot of pictures for us to enjoy."
"No. With your figure, there's nothing worth seeing. You're probably looking forward to someone coming to serve you, right?"
"How can you talk like that?" The other party glared at him immediately, looking very angry.
"What? You're saying it's okay for him to attempt indecency after breaking into the house. I think you should like it when someone pries open your door, right?" Ye Shuang sneered. At this time, the aunt couldn't hold back and slapped him.
"You son of a bitch! Let go of my son!"
Ye Shuang didn't dodge and let the slap land on his face.
"It's a mutual fight." Ignoring the stinging pain on his face, Ye Shuang threw the cigarette butt at the boy beside him. Immediately, there was a cry of being burned.
The next second, Ye Shuang raised his hand and slapped the aunt back with all his strength!
The aunt let out a scream and was slapped hard to the ground, wailing. After kicking the aunt again, Ye Shuang looked at the female neighbor who had just spoken.
"Do you have anything else to say?"
Perhaps the other party didn't expect Ye Shuang to be so ruthless. Her face turned pale, and she quickly went back into the house.
The other neighbors looked at this scene and couldn't help but think that this person was really a tough character. For a moment, those who wanted to accuse Ye Shuang of hitting a woman all shut up.
A few minutes later, the police arrived.
There was a man and a woman, and their expressions were serious.
"Officer, this person beat up me and my son. You have to uphold justice for us!" The aunt immediately shouted. "He also framed my son for burglary and is trying to extort money!"
The two police officers didn't pay attention to the shouting aunt. Instead, they looked at Ye Shuang, who was the main party involved.
"You're the one who reported the case, right? What exactly happened?"
Ye Shuang then told the whole story. Especially when he mentioned that the man had pried open the door, the mother and son immediately shouted that it was a false accusation.
Some neighbors who were familiar with the mother and son also spoke up.
"Officer, I think you have to interrogate thoroughly. We've watched this kid grow up. He definitely wouldn't do such a thing."
"That's right. This person is definitely framing that kid. How could such a good boy do such a thing?"
"Yeah, he's just a kid. And he's about to take the entrance exam. How could he do such a thing?"
"Moreover, this man was really fierce when he hit people. He's definitely not a good person."
Bai Yuyou, who was standing beside Ye Shuang, shrank back under the gaze of so many people, and her body couldn't help but tremble.
Ye Shuang protected her behind him. In the face of those people's accusations, he didn't care at all. Instead, he looked at the two police officers. "I have evidence."
With that, Ye Shuang played the video he had recorded on his phone in front of everyone.
In the video, it showed that Ye Shuang's door lock had been pried open, making a sound, and then when he opened the door, he caught the man in the act, and the man dropped the tools and tried to run away.
Although the phone was a bit cheap, the recorded video was still clear.
It was completely different from what they had said about just passing by and being framed.
As soon as the video came out, the hysterical aunt was speechless. The half of her face that was already swollen turned even redder. Even the neighbors who had just spoken up felt as uncomfortable as if they had swallowed a fly, and their faces burned with shame.
Especially since they had just been so certain.
It was really like having a big and small joker on their faces.
"This... This video must be fake!" The aunt shouted when she saw that the situation was not in her favor.
"Whether it's fake or not, we'll know when we go to the police station, right?" Ye Shuang raised his eyebrows slightly. Then he looked at the two police officers beside him. "Well, arrest him."
The two police officers didn't say anything more. They directly untied the data cable that was tied around the man and then escorted him away.
"Let's go. You and his family members also have to come back to the police station with me to make a statement."
"Okay." Ye Shuang nodded.
After finishing all this, Ye Shuang looked at the girl beside him and found that she was staring at him without moving.
Ye Shuang thought that Bai Yuyou was scared.
"Don't be afraid. I'll be back soon. You can go to bed at home first."
But Bai Yuyou continued to look at Ye Shuang. She suddenly raised her arm and gently touched the place where he had been hit. Her eyes looking at the red mark were filled with ripples.
"Does it hurt?"
It seemed that she cared more about whether Ye Shuang's slapped cheek hurt than her own feelings.
The girl's fingers slid across his cheek, feeling a bit cold, and the pain on his face lessened a lot. Ye Shuang shrugged and smiled.
"I'm fine, it's the older woman, I don't think the swelling will go down for half a month."
"Wait for me to come back obediently."
"I'll wait for you to come back." Bai Yuyou nodded obediently.
Ye Shuang gently patted her little head and then closed the door.
After getting in the police car and finishing making the statement, it was already several hours later. Under the "big memory restoration technique," the man honestly confessed to his criminal facts.
He had seen that Bai Yuyou was beautiful, and since she seemed to be living alone, he had evil thoughts.
Moreover, he had heard that Bai Yuyou was a bit simple-minded, so he took a chance.
