The?younger?brother?of?the?Secretary?Department?head?mistook?me?for?the?scoundrel?who?got?his?sister?pregnant?and?refused?to?take?responsibility.
He, along with a group of self-proclaimed Association for Dealing with Scumbag Men justice enforcers, trapped me in my house.
These people were guiding public opinion to cyberbully me while live streaming.
“So,?you’re?bold?enough?to?get?a?girl?pregnant?but?not?brave?enough?to?admit?it?”
“The?law?can’t?punish?scum?like?you,?but?we,?the?justice?enforcers,?will?deal?with?you!”
Watching?them?smash?everything?in?my?home,?I?expressionlessly?called?my?lawyer.
“Notify?the?Secretary?Department?head?that?she’s?fired.
“Also,?she?needs?to?compensate?for?the?several?tens?of?millions?in?damaged?furniture?and?jade?artifacts?at?their?original?price,?or?we’ll?see?her?in?court!
“So,?you’re?bold?enough?to?smash,?but?not?brave?enough?to?compensate?”
——
I?recently?had?to?work?from?home?due?to?a?leg?injury?from?extreme?sports.
After?finishing?a?video?conference,?I?called?for?a?cleaning?service?to?tidy?up?the?place.
After?placing?the?order,?I?noticed?there?were?99+?messages?in?the?neighborhood?group?chat.
The?top?message?was?a?video?posted?by?a?resident,?followed?by?a?message.
[Could?this?be?our?neighborhood?]
I?opened?the?video?and?saw?a?group?of?people?holding?a?banner?and?livestreaming?outdoors.
[Justice?Enforcers?Punish?Scumbag?Men;?Help?Wronged?Women?Seek?Justice!]
They?were?shouting?while?interacting?with?their?phones,?saying?they?were?going?to?Green?World?to?find?a?scoundrel?who?got?a?girl?pregnant?and?refused?to?take?responsibility.
They?also?mentioned?they?had?successfully?entered?the?neighborhood?through?a?secret?passage?and?would?soon?reveal?the?scoundrel’s?true?identity?in?the?livestream.
I?was?a?bit?surprised?because?the?neighborhood?I?lived?in?was?called?Green?World.
The?residents?in?the?group?chat?were?as?shocked?as?I?was.
[Did?we?really?get?this?drama?right?at?our?doorstep??Is?this?Green?World?in?the?livestream?our?neighborhood?]
[It?does?look?like?it.?I?didn’t?expect?that?even?a?high-end?neighborhood?couldn’t?filter?out?scumbags.?What?a?bad?omen!]
Soon,?someone?posted?the?livestream?link?in?the?group?chat.
I?usually?don’t?join?in?on?such?things,?but?since?it?was?right?at?my?doorstep,?I?couldn’t?help?but?click?on?it.
To?my?surprise,?nearly?50,000?people?were?watching.
The?chat?in?the?livestream?was?scrolling?quickly.
[Be?careful,?streamer.?With?so?many?people,?don’t?get?caught?by?the?security.]
[Yeah,?this?is?my?first?time?watching?such?a?livestream.?Exciting!]
[I’m?dying?to?see?what?this?scoundrel?looks?like.]
As?the?popularity?continued?to?rise,?the?streamer?lowered?his?voice,?looking?mysterious.
[Considering?the?risk?I’m?taking?to?livestream,?hit?the?like?button?and?join?the?fan?club?for?a?penny,?and?I’ll?reveal?the?scoundrel’s?true?identity?to?everyone.]
Saying?that,?the?streamer?and?his?crew?arrived?in?front?of?a?building.
I?was?shocked?to?see?it?was?my?building,?Building?No.?3.
At?that?moment,?a?young?man?suddenly?appeared?on?the?livestream.
He?shoved?a?pregnancy?test?result?in?front?of?the?camera,?gritting?his?teeth.
“This?is?the?scoundrel?who?got?my?sister?pregnant?and?refuses?to?take?responsibility.?He?won’t?even?pay?for?the?prenatal?checkups.?My?sister?graduated?from?a?prestigious?university?and?is?beautiful.?She?had?people?chasing?her,?but?this?beast?ruined?her?chastity.
“After?getting?pregnant,?my?sister?was?abandoned?by?this?scoundrel?and?developed?depression.?She’s?still?in?the?hospital?now.?Today,?I’m?here?to?seek?justice?for?her!”
The?viewers?in?the?livestream?were?furious?and?shouted?to?help?him?deal?with?this?scoundrel.
When?the?camera?zoomed?in,?I?suddenly?thought?the?young?man?looked?familiar.
Isn’t?this?Albert?May,?the?younger?brother?of?the?Secretary?Department?head,?Amara?May?
Six?months?ago,?he?got?into?a?fight?with?some?thugs?and?ended?up?in?jail.?I?had?to?find?someone?to?bail?him?out.
As?for?Amara,?she’s?my?personal?secretary.?She?doesn’t?have?much?of?a?sense?of?boundaries?and?even?tried?to?get?me?drunk?at?a?party?to?advance?her?position,?but?I?saw?through?her?and?refused.
I?initially?wanted?to?fire?her,?but?considering?her?outstanding?abilities,?I?just?transferred?her?to?another?department.
Since?then,?we?haven’t?had?any?personal?interactions.
However,?she?did?recently?take?a?leave?of?absence,?and?it?turns?out?it?was?because?of?this?incident.
This?city?really?is?too?small;?I?ended?up?witnessing?a?drama?involving?a?company?employee?right?under?my?nose.
As?I?was?pondering?this,?the?doorbell?rang.?Could?it?be?the?cleaning?service?I?called?
Sitting?in?my?wheelchair,?I?slowly?moved?to?the?door?and?opened?it.
As?soon?as?the?door?opened,?it?was?kicked?wide?open,?and?a?large?crowd?poured?in.
As?soon?as?the?leader?came?in,?he?shoved?his?phone?right?into?my?face.
“Hey?guys,?this?is?the?scumbag!?I?didn’t?expect?him?to?be?a?cripple!
“He?looks?decent,?but?he’s?actually?a?scum?who?won’t?take?responsibility.?I’m?here?to?bring?justice?and?punish?this?scumbag?today!”
With?that,?he?kicked?my?wheelchair.
Immediately,?a?crowd?gathered?around?me,?hitting?and?scolding?me.
I?was?a?bit?confused.?I?don’t?even?have?a?girlfriend,?so?how?could?I?be?a?scumbag??Did?they?get?the?wrong?person?
I?calmed?myself?down?and?planned?to?explain.
Just?as?I?started?to?speak,?a?bucket?of?garbage?was?poured?over?my?head.
“So,?you’ve?got?the?guts?to?act?but?not?to?own?up??Coward!?The?type?of?irresponsible?man?I?hate?the?most!
“The?law?can’t?handle?you,?but?we,?the?justice?enforcers,?will!”
I?was?stunned?the?moment?the?bucket?of?garbage?was?poured?over?me.
Rotten?vegetable?leaves?from?the?garbage?were?stuck?to?my?ears,?making?the?crowd?burst?into?laughter.
“He?looks?decent,?but?he’s?actually?scum.?A?good?girl’s?life?was?ruined?by?him—what?a?beast!”
“Even?if?you?don’t?want?to?take?responsibility,?at?least?do?the?right?thing.?You?won’t?even?pay?for?the?check-ups?but?live?in?such?a?nice?house.?Are?you?being?supported?by?a?rich?woman?”
Waves?of?noise?attracted?quite?a?few?neighbors?to?come?over?and?watch.
To?my?surprise,?even?the?neighbors?I?had?a?good?relationship?with?were?pointing?fingers?at?me.
I?glanced?at?Albert?and,?holding?back?my?anger,?explained.?”Albert,?we’ve?met?before.?Don’t?you?remember?me??I’m?your?sister’s?boss,?not?a?scumbag.?Did?you?get?the?wrong?person?
“Breaking?into?someone’s?home?is?a?criminal?offense.?Get?this?crowd?out?of?here,?or?I’ll?call?the?police.”
I?thought?Albert?would?stop?when?he?knew?who?I?was.
But?to?my?surprise,?he?became?even?angrier.
“So?what?if?you’re?a?boss??You?got?my?sister?pregnant,?so?you?have?to?take?responsibility!
“Looks?like?you’ll?only?cry?when?it’s?too?late?to?fix?things.?You’re?trapped?in?your?home,?and?you?still?want?to?argue??I’ll?make?your?death?more?comfortable?today!?That?day,?my?sister?was?picked?up?by?a?Maybach,?and?I?noted?down?the?license?plate.?The?owner?is?clearly?you!
“If?you?don’t?want?to?take?responsibility,?fine.?Pay?me?five?million,?or?even?if?you’re?the?God,?I?won’t?go?easy?on?you!”
Saying?that,?he?swung?his?arm?to?hit?me.
The?bucket?of?garbage?was?unexpected,?but?if?I?was?bullied?again,?it?would?be?my?fault.
Even?though?one?of?my?legs?was?broken,?the?other?was?still?fine.
I?seized?the?opportunity and?kicked?Albert?in?the?knee.
I?said?indifferently,?”Albert,?considering?you’re?a?family?member?of?an?employee,?I?tried?to?reason?with?you.?But?if?you?want?to?fight,?then?I?have?to?resort?to?legal?measures.”
Albert,?caught?off?guard,?was?stunned?by?my?kick.?Once?he?regained?his?senses,?he?spat.
“Tch!?You’re?so?shameless,?pretending?to?be?a?good?person.?How?could?my?sister?fall?for?someone?like?you!?”
Seeing?Albert?in?a?weak?position,?the?so-called?justice?enforcers?immediately?surrounded?me,?shouting?and?criticizing?me.
“What?a?pathetic?loser!?Since?you?won’t?admit?it,?don’t?do?it.?Pretending?to?be?innocent?and?then?reversing?blame—do?you?think?the?law?will?cover?for?a?scumbag?like?you?”
The?watching?neighbors?also?joined?in.
“After?being?neighbors?for?so?long,?I?didn’t?expect?you?to?be?this?kind?of?person.?What?a?bad?luck!”
“Look?at?him,?dressed?head?to?toe?in?designer?brands.?He?must?really?be?supported?by?a?rich?woman.?At?such?a?young?age,?he?refuses?to?endure?any?hardship?and?still?denies?getting?a?girl?pregnant.?Scum!”
As?the?situation?grew?more?intense,?several?streamers?got?closer.
“Hey?folks,?see?this??This?is?the?scumbag?who?got?a?girl?pregnant?and?won’t?take?responsibility.?If?you?see?him?in?the?future,?throw?rotten?eggs?at?him.?You?don’t?want?to?get?his?bad?luck?on?you.”
“I?thought?he?was?avoiding?responsibility?because?he?was?poor,?but?living?in?a?mansion?and?not?paying?for?the?girl’s?check-ups?shows?he’s?both?stingy?and?cowardly.?I’ll?beat?up?any?scumbag?like?him?I?see?in?the?future.”
Under?the?streamers’?guidance,?the?chatroom?in?the?livestream?was?full?of?insults?directed?at?me.
Seeing?I?wasn’t?giving?any?money,?Albert?started?smashing?things?in?the?living?room?to?vent?his?frustration.
While?smashing?things,?he?shouted,?”Since?you?won’t?pay,?I’ll?smash?up?your?house!?This?is?my?revenge?for?my?sister!”
Saying?that,?Albert?picked?up?an?Imperial?Jade?ornament?from?the?table?and?smashed?it?on?the?floor.
The?number?of?viewers?in?the?livestream?instantly?surged?to?over?a?hundred?thousand.
With?so?many?people?around,?the?streamer’s?face?turned?red?with?excitement.
“Folks,?give?a?thumbs?up!?I’ll?show?you?from?the?first-person?perspective?as?we?smash?this?scumbag’s?house!”
Saying?that,?he?picked?up?a?Celadon?vase?from?the?side?and?threw?it?on?the?ground.
The?people?nearby?started?imitating,?and?soon?began?smashing?things?in?the?living?room.
Watching?this?farce,?I?indifferently?warned.?”These?things?aren’t?cheap.?You?can’t?afford?to?compensate?for?them.?I?advise?you?to?stop?now.”
Upon?hearing?this,?Albert?got?angry.?With?a?provocative?expression,?he?picked?up?a?traditional?wooden?chair?and?violently?smashed?it?against?the?wall.
“I’ll?smash?it.?What?are?you?going?to?do?about?it?
“You?can?afford?these?worthless?things?but?can’t?compensate?for?my?sister??The?baby?in?my?sister’s?womb?is?your?own?son.?When?you?die,?all?your?estate?will?be?his!”
The?wooden?chair?was?shattered?into?pieces,?and?I?frowned?in?pain.
Someone?recognized?the?material?of?the?chair?and,?trembling,?pointed?at?the?fragments?on?the?ground,?saying, “This?chair?looks?like?Golden?Silk?Wood.?I?saw?it?at?an?auction?before.?It?might?cost?several?million.”
At?this,?Albert’s?hand?trembled?uncontrollably.
He?was?just?in?his?early?twenties?and?probably?didn’t?expect?a?chair?to?be?so?expensive.
At?this?moment,?a?broadcaster?on?the?side?came?over?to?stir?up?trouble.
“So?what?if?it’s?several?million??Albert?said?that?everything?in?this?house?will?belong?to?his?nephew?in?the?future.”
Hearing?this,?I?almost?laughed?out?of?anger.
These?people?were?truly?ignorant?of?the?law.
Even?if?the?baby?in?Amara’s?womb?was?mine,?her?brother?smashing?my?things?would?still?require?him?to?bear?legal?responsibility.
But?Albert,?unfortunately,?bought?into?it.
He?raised?his?head?disdainfully?and?said, “Exactly.?All?the?property?of?this?cripple?will?eventually?belong?to?my?nephew.?I’m?the?child’s?biological?uncle.?So?what?if?I?smash?it?”
I?sneered.
“Albert,?I?advise?you?to?check?with?your?sister?before?smashing?things.?Otherwise,?even?if?you’re?sold,?you?won’t?be?able?to?afford?the?compensation!”
What?was?meant?as?a?friendly?warning?turned?into?a?provocation?in?Albert’s?eyes.
He?grabbed?a?jade?vase?from?the?shelf?and?smashed?it?heavily?on?the?ground.
“Stop?looking?down?on?people!?Fortunes?shift?with?the?tide—what’s?up?today?may?be?down?tomorrow.?Do?you?dare?say?what?you?have?now?was?earned?by?yourself??Even?if?you?weren’t?kept?by?a?rich?woman,?it’s?still?thanks?to?your?parents.?What’s?there?to?be?proud?of??When?I?reach?your?age,?I?might?not?fare?worse?than?you.
“Today,?I’m?going?to?smash?all?these?pieces?of?junk!”
At?Albert’s?words,?the?people?around?became?agitated?and?joined?in?the?attack.
Especially?the?broadcasters,?seeing?that?smashing?things?could?attract?viewers,?got?even?more?enthusiastic.
As?someone?who?regularly?exercises,?I?would?have?confronted?them?head-on?under?normal?circumstances.
But?now,?with?my?legs?and?feet?not?convenient?and?the?opposing?numbers,?my?only?option?was?to?call?the?police.
But?my?phone?was?left?on?the?coffee?table.
Taking?advantage?of?their?distraction,?I?tried?to?sneak?over?to?get?my?phone?and?call?the?police.
However,?a?sharp-eyed?broadcaster?noticed.
He?quickly?grabbed?my?phone?and?threw?it?into?the?nearby?fish?tank.
Seeing?my?hope?dashed,?he?laughed?maniacally.
“Brothers,?this?scumbag?even?wants?to?call?the?police!?How?laughable.?Did?he?ever?think?about?this?outcome?when?he?played?with?other?people’s?feelings?
“Today,?I’ll?represent?justice?and?teach?this?scumbag?a?good?lesson?so?he?doesn’t?harm?others?in?the?future.”
I?sighed?and?said?indifferently,?”I?advise?you?to?stop?quickly.?Otherwise,?the?consequences?of?this?farce?are?ones?you?can’t?bear.”
But?the?warning?was?useless;?instead,?it?made?them?even?more?enthusiastic?about?smashing?things.
Someone?even?broke?into?the?study?and?tore?apart?valuable?calligraphy?and?paintings?passed?down?from?my?grandfather.
These?people?smashed?and?looted?room?by?room,?finally?stopping?in?front?of?the?bedroom?door.
The?broadcaster?excitedly?showed?the?fans.
“Brothers,?join?the?fan?club.?Let’s?go?see?what’s?worth?smashing?in?this?scumbag’s?bedroom.”
“Brothers,?this?scumbag’s?lifestyle?is?too?luxurious.?There?are?so?many?expensive?watches,?and?several?are?globally?limited?editions.”
Next,?a?few?more?people?rushed?in.
“Who?cares?if?they’re?globally?limited??Just?smash?them.”
Someone?pulled?open?the?bedroom?closet,?tore?down?all?the?haute?couture?suits?inside,?threw?them?on?the?floor,?and?stomped?on?them,?even?spitting?on?them.
While?they?were?doing?this,?they?didn’t?forget?to?interact?with?the?live-stream?fans.
“Since?the?law?can’t?punish?the?scumbag,?today?we’ll?give?him?a?lesson?so?he?knows?the?consequence?of?being?a?heartless?man!”
At?that?moment,?I?suddenly?remembered?that?the?Tibetan?Gem?Beads?I?bought?at?auction?last?month?were?still?in?the?bedroom.?Could?they?also?be?in?danger?
Whatever?you?fear?seems?to?come?true—sure?enough,?a?streamer?discovered?the?sandalwood?box?with?the?celestial?beads.
The?sandalwood?box?had?eight?locks,?making?it?difficult?for?ordinary?people?to?open.
To?my?surprise,?this?person,?upon?seeing?the?locks,?violently?threw?the?box?to?the?ground?until?it?shattered,?revealing?the?beads?inside.?Only?then?did?he?show?an?excited?expression.
“There’s?actually?a?jade?bead?in?this?box.?It?looks?pretty?valuable.
“Guys,?should?we?smash?it??There?are?really?quite?a?few?good?things?in?this?scumbag’s?house,?but?he?doesn’t?deserve?them.?I?should?smash?everything?in?his?house?and?leave?him?nothing!”
Saying?this,?he?raised?the?bead?in?his?hand,?about?to?throw?it?to?the?ground.
I?shouted?urgently,?”That?bead?cost?me?twenty?million?from?the?auction,?and?it’s?very?precious.?I?advise?you?not?to?smash?it.”
But?the?person?was?already?fuming?with?rage.?The?more?I?tried?to?stop?him,?the?more?excited?he?became.
I?watched?helplessly?as?the?precious?jade?bead?turned?into?powder?right?before?my?eyes.
Looking?around,?there?was?almost?nothing?intact?left?in?the?house.
These?so-called?”justice?enforcers”?acted?like?bandits,?plundering?my?home.
At?that?moment,?I?suddenly?noticed?the?surveillance?camera?above?the?door.
I?had?installed?this?camera?because?of?the?large?number?of?collectibles?in?my?home.
I?never?expected?it?would?come?in?handy?so?soon.
It?had?recorded?the?entire?act?of?violence?clearly?and?completely.
Did?these?people?think?that?breaking?my?phone?meant?they?could?commit?violence?and?then?just?walk?away??In?their?dreams!
I?would?hold?every?person?involved?in?this?fiasco?accountable.
Seeing?me?silent,?these?people?started?to?provoke?me?again.
“Weren’t?you?pretty?arrogant?just?now??Threatening?us?with?calling?the?police,?thinking?we’d?be?afraid??What?a?joke!?We?justice?warriors?have?never?been?afraid!”
Looking?at?the?mess?in?the?room,?Albert?looked?very?pleased.
“Finally,?I’ve?gotten?some?revenge?for?my?sister!?Today,?exposing?you?as?a?scumbag?also?means?I’ve?rid?society?of?a?menace!”
I?looked?at?these?lunatics?and?snorted?indifferently.
“You’re?quite?quick.?I?hope?you’re?just?as?decisive?when?it?comes?time?to?pay?for?this.?Don’t?come?begging?me?to?spare?you?then.”
Just?then,?someone?pulled?out?a?small,?old?box?from?a?hidden?compartment?in?the?bedroom.
I?saw?it?and?turned?pale.
“Don’t?touch?that!”
Saying?this,?I?quickly?stood?up,?trying?to?snatch?the?box.
Inside?the?box?was?a?jade?pendant.?It?wasn’t?high?quality,?but?it?was?the?only?keepsake?my?mother?left?me?before?she?passed?away.
But?before?I?could?steady?myself,?I?fell?heavily?to?the?ground?due?to?my?leg?injury.
The?person?holding?the?box?laughed?heartily?at?my?miserable?state.
He?pulled?out?the?jade?pendant,?squinting?and?asking?me,?”Judging?by?how?anxious?you?are?about?this?jade?pendant,?it?must?be?valuable,?right?”
I?quickly?denied?it.?”The?item?isn’t?valuable,?but?it’s?very?important.?As?long?as?you?don’t?smash?this?jade?pendant,?everything?else?is?negotiable.”
Saying?this,?I?reached?out?hopefully?to?take?the?pendant.
But?unexpectedly,?Albert?snatched?it?away?first.
He?flaunted?the?jade?pendant?in?front?of?me?and?then,?with?a?vicious?look,?threw?it?on?the?ground.
“What?a?piece?of?junk.?I’m?still?going?to?smash?it!”
As?the?jade?pendant?shattered?into?small?pieces?on?the?floor,?a?tear?rolled?down?my?cheek.
My?mother?had?passed?away?when?I?was?very?young,?leaving?me?only?this?jade?pendant.
Every?time?I?missed?her,?I?would?take?out?the?pendant?to?look?at.?Now,?even?this?one?remaining?memento?is?gone.?I?wonder?if?my?mother?would?blame?me?from?above.
To?my?surprise,?a?streamer?captured?this?scene?on?camera.
“It’s?just?a?broken?pendant.?This?man?is?using?it?to?gain?sympathy?and?pity.?Does?he?think?we’ll?let?him?off?because?of?this??Ridiculous.?I’d?love?to?slap?him?right?now!
“I?bet?he?regrets?thinking?he?could?act?recklessly?without?legal?consequences.?Hmph,?we?justice?warriors?specialize?in?dealing?with?people?like?him.”
At?this?moment,?a?woman?in?housekeeping?attire?squeezed?in.
She?looked?at?the?mess?in?the?house?and?frowned.
“Why?is?it?so?chaotic?in?here?”
I?suppressed?my?anger?and?quickly?asked?her for?help.
“Madam,?could?you?please?help?me?call?the?police??My?house?has?been?smashed.?I?can?double?your?housekeeping?fee.”
I?thought?she?would?agree?to?my?request,?considering?our?good?relationship?in?the?past.
But?to?my?surprise,?she?stared?at?me?for?a?moment,?then?suddenly?pulled?out?her?phone?and?held?it?up?in?front?of?me.?”So?you’re?the?ungrateful?scoundrel?from?the?livestream??What?bad?luck!
“I?have?a?daughter?too.?Even?if?I?don’t?earn?a?single?penny?from?this?job,?I?won’t?help?you.?I?fear?bad?karma!”
After?saying?that,?the?housekeeper turned?and?left,?leaving?me?dumbfounded.
The?livestream?host?laughed?heartily.
“Folks,?did?you?see?that??This?is?the?fate?of?an?ungrateful?scoundrel.?Even?a?cleaning?worker won’t?help?him.?This?shows?how?our?action?reflects?the?will?of?the?people.
“We?smashed?his?house?today?just?to?teach?him?a?lesson.?If?he?dares?to?act?arrogantly?again,?we’ll?cause?a?scene?at?his?company?and?see?if?he?dares?to?be?so?bold.
“We?are?the?enforcers?of?justice.?Where?the?law?can’t?reach,?we?must?maintain?order?ourselves.”
I?glanced?at?the?livestream?room,?where?gifts?and?donations?were?constantly?pouring?in.
It?seemed?he?had?made?a?fortune?this?time.
Seeing?that?the?house?had?nothing?intact?left,?they?were?preparing?to?leave?with?satisfaction.
At?that?moment,?several?police?officers?suddenly?burst?in.
“Who?called?the?police?”
I?quickly?raised?my?hand.
“It?was?me!?Officer,?these?people?broke?into?my?home,?smashed?all?my?belongings,?and?spread?false?rumors?about?me.?I?want?to?sue?them!”
As?soon?as?these?words?were?out,?the?previously?aggressive?people?instantly?turned?timid.
