Chapter 10

Gao Jue naturally did not notice Yan Bing's reaction. He only focused on Qin Guang, who was lying on the ground, and shouted, "Calling you a coward who only beats your wife, I think that's spot on. If you admit it now, I won't make things hard for you. Go back and apologize to your wife, write a guarantee, and promise never to hit her again, and live a good life."

"Phew!" Qin Guang, lying on the ground, angrily shouted, "I can't beat you, but my family affairs don't need your interference. If you have the guts, kill me now. Otherwise, I will never let that bitch off. Damn it, she colluded with outsiders to beat me. I'll kill her tonight!"

"Damn it, are you still defiant!" Gao Jue took two steps to Qin Guang, lifted his leg, and stomped heavily on Qin Guang's chest.

Seeing Gao Jue so fierce, Yan Bing became even more infatuated, thinking to herself, "Wow... so manly... so cool... so handsome..."

"How's the situation?"

Just as Yan Bing was swooning, someone nearby asked anxiously.

The voice was very familiar, and Yan Bing quickly turned around. She saw two women standing beside a taxi: one was Yang Shujie, and the other was Gao Yanhong. The person who asked her was Yang Shujie.

Yang Shujie and Gao Yanhong walked a few steps to Yan Bing's side, and Yan Bing cautiously said, "Director, Section Chief, the fight is over inside..."

"How is Gao Jue?" Yang Shujie asked with concern.

"Gao Jue is fine, but... Section Chief Cao's wife is now beaten so badly she can't get up..." Yan Bing said truthfully.

"Ah..." Hearing this, Yang Shujie and Gao Yanhong were both shocked.

The two quickly looked into the yard, and just in time, they saw Qin Guang being stomped on the chest again by Gao Jue. He groaned but didn't back down, "Kid, if you have the guts, kill me!"

"Kill you! Do you think I'm afraid? I've seen plenty of tough guys. You're nothing!" Gao Jue, who was not intimidated by the other's tough words, had seen many people in prison who were even more aggressive than Qin Guang. He had never been afraid of anyone.

After saying that, Gao Jue kicked again. Qin Guang, who was much tougher than the previous adulterer, only groaned without crying out or begging for mercy. He then cursed, "Hit me, hit me, kill me! If you can't kill me, you're a bastard!"

The situation was far beyond what Yang Shujie and Gao Yanhong had expected. Yang Shujie had already concluded that Gao Jue would be badly beaten. She had been blaming herself in the car for listening to Lü Dawei and letting the new Gao Jue try. She had prepared for the worst, and if Gao Jue was seriously injured, she would have to report it to the police to hold Qin Guang legally responsible. But now, it was Qin Guang who was beaten, not Gao Jue.

Seeing that both Qin Guang and Gao Jue were being stubborn, Yang Shujie quickly thought about what to do next. Gao Yanhong, however, was not as calm as Yang Shujie and whispered, "Director Yang, what should we do? Don't let Gao Jue hurt him too badly. Should I go in and stop him now?"

"Wait a moment." Yang Shujie raised her hand and moved to the side of the gate, saying, "Qin Guang has always been aggressive. Should he be the only one allowed to beat people and not be beaten? Let's wait and see what Gao Jue plans to do next. Since we've entrusted this to him, let him handle it his way. If it doesn't work, we'll step in."

"Okay... okay..." Gao Yanhong followed Yang Shujie to the side.

Seeing that Qin Guang was still stubborn, Gao Jue cursed, "You're really a stubborn duck, aren't you? But I have a way to deal with people like you!"

After saying that, he was about to hit again. At this moment, Cao Shufen rushed out of the house, stumbling and tear-streaked, still crying, "Stop, stop... If you want to hit someone, hit me..."

As she spoke, Cao Shufen had already thrown herself onto Qin Guang. She had heard everything that happened outside. Initially, she was worried that Gao Jue would be hurt by her husband, but it turned out that her husband was the one being beaten. Now, seeing her husband unable to get up, although he often beat her, she couldn't bear to see him suffer.

"Get away! I don't need your pity! Get away! Get away!" Qin Guang, instead of being moved by his wife's actions, became even more furious.

"Cao Shufen, is this kind of person worth you pleading for him?" Gao Jue said earnestly.

"No... he is still my husband..." Cao Shufen cried.

"Get the hell away, get far from me, you bitch, move! Let him beat me, if he has the guts, kill me!" Qin Guang became even more aggressive.

"Ha ha ha ha..." Seeing the couple's situation, Gao Jue suddenly burst into laughter and said after a while, "Qin Guang, you are hateful, laughable, and pitiful..."

"Who's pitiful? You're the one who's pitiful!" Qin Guang, seemingly hit where it hurt, started to scream.

"For your fragile self-esteem, you beat your wife for no reason. Isn't that pitiful? People say that those who are pitiful must have something hateful about them. Now, it seems that's true." Gao Jue smiled contemptuously and asked, "Can you stand up now?"

"I can stand up whenever I want!" Qin Guang struggled to stand up, but Cao Shufen quickly helped him. Unexpectedly, she was pushed aside, and because he used too much force to push his wife, he fell back to the ground.

Gao Jue watched him with interest and said, "Cao Shufen, don't bother with him anymore. See if he can get up on his own!"

"I don't want to get up now. What can you do to me?" Qin Guang started to act tough again.

"Then wait..." Gao Jue slowly walked to Qin Guang and suddenly grabbed his wrist.

"What are you going to do?" Qin Guang was startled.

Gao Jue did not answer, but pulled his wrist and dragged him into the house. Qin Guang, who weighed about 180 pounds, was not hard for Gao Jue to drag. However, there was a threshold at the door, so Zhang Pei came to help, basically carrying Qin Guang into the outer room.

"Do you need a room to use? I want to talk to him alone." Gao Jue said.

"Let's go to the small room." Zhang Pei said.

Gao Jue dragged Qin Guang to the small room, which was where Zhang Pei's son slept. The room was simple, with almost nothing on the floor. Zhang Pei and Cao Shufen wanted to follow, but Gao Jue did not agree and closed the door, leaving only him and Qin Guang inside. Gao Jue sat on the edge of the bed, and Qin Guang lay on the ground, glaring at him and shouting, "What do you want to say to me?"

"Qin Guang, why do you beat Cao Shufen?" Gao Jue said calmly.

"That's none of your business!"

"Actually, I already know. It's because you are insecure. Before Cao Shufen married you, her family conditions were better, she was more beautiful, had a higher education, and a better job. At the time, even you probably felt you didn't deserve her."

"Whether I deserve her or not is none of your business!" Qin Guang continued to shout.

"When you got married, many people envied you, a man with no education, marrying a well-educated university graduate with a good job. Many people must have wondered what good fortune you had. At that time, even you probably couldn't believe it. Qin Guang, is that right?" Gao Jue asked with a smile.

"That's none of your business..."

Gao Jue's words seemed to hit Qin Guang's heart again, and his tone was no longer as strong as before.

"I think at that time, many people would say that Cao Shufen was blind to choose you, that she was jumping into a fire. And you probably secretly vowed to take good care of Cao Shufen, to give her happiness, to show those who talked behind your back that you, Qin Guang, are capable..."

Gao Jue spoke slowly, but Qin Guang's face became increasingly stiff. Yes, that was the situation and his thoughts at the time.

"On your wedding day, many people sent you blessings, but there were also many who envied and were jealous. Some might even say that a well-educated university graduate like Cao Shufen would only marry you because there was something fishy. Because of your insecurity, your lack of confidence, and your feeling that you didn't deserve Cao Shufen, you also secretly believed their words, thinking that Cao Shufen must have a reason to marry you. On the wedding night..." Gao Jue spoke slowly, his sharp eyes fixed on Qin Guang's face, which had frozen, "Cao Shufen did not bleed, and the rumors were confirmed. Cao Shufen did have a reason to marry you, a rough man. Your fragile self-esteem was severely damaged, and you became even more insecure, believing that Cao Shufen had no choice but to marry you. You beat her, you beat her to death, to vent your insecurity and regain your self-esteem..."

"Stop... stop..."

Gao Jue's words were like a knife stabbing into Qin Guang's heart, truly hitting where it hurt. Qin Guang started to scream wildly.

"You could have divorced her, but under Cao Shufen's desperate pleading, you didn't. If you had chosen to divorce her, Cao Shufen would have lost face, and you would have lost face, making a laughingstock of yourself. Whether it was out of pity for Cao Shufen or for your own face, you didn't choose to divorce her. You are a good person, a kind person, and that's why Cao Shufen chose you. You decided not to let others make a laughingstock of you and continued to live with Cao Shufen. But every time you saw Cao Shufen, you felt a thorn piercing your fragile heart. To hide this pain, you beat her. Until you had a child, and as the child grew up, outsiders again sent you blessings, and you felt your self-esteem was restored, so you stopped beating Cao Shufen. For the sake of your happy family, Cao Shufen endured so much, without a single complaint, letting you beat her, let you scold her. Does she owe you something?"

Gao Jue spoke earnestly and sincerely, "Brother Qin, heaven has not wronged you, giving you such a good wife and a happy life. What more could you ask for? On the contrary, heaven has wronged Cao Shufen a lot, from the day she went to the countryside, her nightmare began..."

Next, Gao Jue recounted the experience that Cao Shufen had told him, without any reservation. Qin Guang had never heard this story. Although he had questioned Cao Shufen about why she had lost her virginity, she had never dared to tell him.

Qin Guang's eyes became vacant, and he muttered, "How do you know these things..."
