Sun Xu, feeling guilty, immediately panicked and started shouting.
The two grappled with each other, quickly attracting the attention of Wu Ying, Wang An, and Huang Han, three patrol team members.
And thus, the events that followed ensued.
Sun Xu was not stupid; he naturally understood that what he did could not be made public.
So he insisted that it was Lu Yuyan who opened the door and wanted to make a deal with him.
Lu Dayou was furious, but with Wu Ying and Wang An holding him back, they didn’t get to fight.
At this moment, Liang Yuan returned and, in front of everyone, stated that he had already confirmed the details of what happened.
How could Sun Xu not be flustered?
He didn’t understand the power of Mutant Ability Users, so he didn’t know if Liang Yuan really had a way to understand the truth.
In his panic, he stammered and didn’t dare to speak.
His behavior, neither denying nor admitting, immediately made everyone understand.
Sun Xu was hiding something; he must have forced the mute girl, Lu Yuyan.
In no time, many people started cursing angrily.
"You vile scum, you really deserve to die."
"Damn it, you deserve death. Mr. Liang, beat this bastard to death."
"Liu Erlong, Wang Ze, they’ve just died, and now another has emerged. Mr. Liang, people must not be allowed to live, damn him."
The angry curses around made Sun Da and Zhang Lanjuan panic as well.
Zhang Lanjuan burst into tears and shouted, "Son, speak up! Tell them you didn’t do such a thing!"
Sun Da also glared angrily and struggled in Zhao Kai’s grasp, shouting, "Impossible! My son is a college student. How could he do such a thing? You all are talking nonsense. Shut up!"
Sun Xu lowered his head, his lips quivering, not daring to speak.
Liang Yuan said deeply, "Sun Xu, I’m going to count to three. This is your last chance to confess. If you admit your guilt, there is still room for leniency."
"But if I have to produce evidence, don’t blame me for not sparing your parents any face!"
Liang Yuan’s words were like the last straw, causing Sun Xu to immediately collapse.
He looked up, his eyes filled with panic and tears, and cried, "Mr. Liang, I... I was wrong. Please, on behalf of my mother who killed fish for you, spare me this time."
"I didn’t mean any harm. I just wanted to be friends with her..."
He panic-strickenly revealed his thoughts.
Lu Yuyan’s father, Lu Dayou, instantly flew into a rage, rushed forward, and kicked Sun Xu, furiously cursing, "Damn you, you animal! Is this how you make friends?"
"Are you kidding me? My house’s door was locked. How did you get in?"
"My daughter was pressed under the sofa by you, scared to tears, and you call that making friends?"
"I’ll beat you to death, you beast!"
Lu Dayou roared, continuously kicking Sun Xu.
Sun Xu howled, holding his head and curling up on the ground, crying out in pain.
Sun Da couldn’t stand his son being beaten so brutally and struggled madly on the ground, trying to break free from Zhao Kai’s grasp, shouting, "Stop! Stop! Lu Dayou, come at me if you have a problem. My son is still young. He’s still young and ignorant!"
Zhang Lanjuan also rushed up, threw herself on the screaming Sun Xu, and cried, "Stop, please, stop. Younger Brother Lu, I’m sorry, it’s my son’s fault. Stop beating him. If you must beat someone, beat me, his mother."
"It’s my fault for not teaching my son well. I’m sorry. Please forgive my son this time. I promise he won’t dare to do it again. I will surely educate him well at home. I’m begging you."
Lu Dayou had let out much of his anger but couldn’t bring himself to beat a woman, so he spat viciously and cursed, "Educate? He’s how old now? Graduated from college? If you couldn’t educate him all these years, do you think you can teach this rogue in a few days? I spit on that!"
Zhang Lanjuan kept kowtowing and crying, "We will surely teach him harshly. Please, Brother Lu, show mercy and spare my son this time."
Lu Dayou had no choice but to glare hatefully and then looked at his daughter with pity.
Lu Yuyan, unable to hear external sounds, saw her father beating that bad man and felt both happy and scared, so she stepped forward to pull Lu Dayou’s arm.
She gestured in sign language, trying to pull Lu Dayou away.
Lu Dayou sighed deeply, finally cursed a few times, then backed off, saying, "If my daughter hadn’t survived, I would have given up my life to beat this little beast to death."
He backed away and looked at Liang Yuan, bowed deeply, and said, "Mr. Liang, thank you so much today. I understand now; you are truly different from Liu Erlong, Wang Ze, and the others."
"You genuinely care about our well-being and truly want to maintain order in our building. Rest assured, anytime you need, just call."
"I don’t care about others, but I, Lu Dayou, will definitely be the first to charge forward."
Liang Yuan helped him up and said, "Brother Lu, what are you saying? Everyone trusted me to manage this building."
"Since I’ve taken on this responsibility, I won’t be lenient. As I’ve emphasized to everyone, as long as I’m here, this building must be like it was before the flood."
"Here, no theft, robbery, sexual assault, or murder will be tolerated!"
"Once discovered, I will not spare anyone!"
Saying this, he looked at Sun Xu, his expression cold.
