Chapter 139: Chapter 139 Threat Chapter 139: Chapter 139 Threat As soon as these words were spoken, everyone’s gaze fixed on Gao Suhua, all wondering if her brain was waterlogged, to speak such words out of turn, not considering whether the person was someone she could afford to offend.
Luo Qiao’s expression changed as she asked, “Auntie Zhao, what do you mean by saying that?”
Yuan Weicheng asked Luo Qiao in a low voice, “Who is this person?”
Luo Qiao replied, “That’s Gao Suhua who switched the children, and the one standing beside her is Zhao Pulin.”
Yuan Weicheng also got angry now, pulling Luo Qiao aside, “Do you want to apologize now, or do you want the police to come and take you away?”
At these words, Zhao Pulin, standing beside Gao Suhua, felt a sudden jolt in his heart. Yuan Weicheng said, “I heard that you gave birth to a daughter in the city fifteen years ago?”
These words made Gao Suhua shudder, her face turning an ugly shade as she sought to hide behind Zhao Pulin. Yuan Weicheng was actually bluffing the couple, and one look at their expressions told it all.
The man did not know the truth about the past, while the woman knew exactly what had happened.
Yuan Weicheng stepped closer, speaking in a voice only Zhao Pulin and his wife could hear, “Do you want me to have the police help you recall the incident from fifteen years ago, to ensure you spend a lifetime in prison?”
At these words, Gao Suhua was visibly shaking in fear, and Zhao Pulin, after staring wide-eyed at Yuan Weicheng for a while, suddenly turned his gaze to Gao Suhua.
This further terrified Gao Suhua, her mind thundering with the realization that it was all over.
Zhao Pulin turned and grabbed Gao Suhua, intent on heading home. Yuan Weicheng wasn’t about to let him leave just like that, “How can you just walk away like this?”
Zhao Pulin, having regained control of his emotions, raised his hand and slapped Gao Suhua hard, “Apologize.”
Nobody saw that Luo Qiao’s hand had suddenly acquired a small stone. Gao Suhua’s mind could no longer think straight, only aware that the secret she had kept for fifteen years couldn’t be kept any longer.
She didn’t dare to look at the man who had just spoken, whose smile appeared to be filled with a bloodthirsty air.
Gao Suhua said to Luo Qiao, “It’s my fault, my mouth is to blame, please forgive me just this once.”
Luo Qiao asked with a mocking smile, “Why should I forgive you? What if I curse at members of the Zhao family every time I see them, and then sincerely apologize afterward? That would be acceptable, right?”
Gao Suhua didn’t expect Luo Qiao to be so unforgiving, even after an elder had apologized to her.
Luo Qiao said, “What’s wrong, not satisfied? But who is to blame when you so insultingly speak out in front of everyone? You must suffer the consequences. You think I’m easy to bully? The things you just cursed at me, have you not thought about who is responsible for my situation today? Is your daughter really dead? Do you dare to swear in front of the whole village?
If you speak a single lie, may your entire Zhao family not die well, not have a peaceful end. Do you dare?”
These words were whispered by Luo Qiao to Zhao Pulin and his wife. The people around them saw Luo Qiao speaking, and the Zhao couple’s faces were ugly, but they couldn’t hear what Luo Qiao was saying.
Gao Suhua trembled and asked, “How did you know? How could you possibly know?”
Luo Qiao said playfully, “If you don’t want people to know, you shouldn’t have done it at all. I didn’t trouble you, yet you’re rushing to make things uncomfortable for yourself.”
Zhao Pulin, somewhat displeased, said, “Luo Qiao, no matter what she says, she is an elder. Be respectful when you speak.”
Luo Qiao replied, “It seems you don’t know about the affair back then. You’re unaware of the life your biological daughter is leading now. Would you like to see her fall from heaven to hell?”
