"Clack," the sound of handcuffs locking onto Xiaofeng’s wrists.
Gu Dabao and Gu Xiaobao watched their mother, their eyes filled with confusion; they didn’t understand why this police uncle needed to do this to their mom.
In their eyes, such things should only be used on bad people, and their mom was not a bad person.
Xiaofeng wasn’t scared of Director Tong’s handcuffs.
She was cuffed to a wooden post in the yard, while Dabao and Xiaobao stood by her side, their eyes fixed on Director Tong, fearing that someone in the yard might harm their mom.
Seeing Su Xiaofeng’s cooperation, Director Tong said indifferently, "Miss, I apologize for the inconvenience."
The three drivers, seeing Su Xiaofeng cuffed, began to show delight. One of them took out a key, unlocked their own handcuffs, and said to Director Tong with a smile, "Well done, you handled it efficiently. Don’t worry, your performance is exemplary this time, and the boss will surely reward you. That’s all, there is nothing more for you here. Take your people and these villagers and leave. We’ll take care of the rest."
Now that the woman was cuffed, even if she had tremendous ability, she could not escape.
Uncle Dog felt something was wrong with this situation.
Yet he heard Director Tong tell Uncle Dog, "This woman, having an affair behind her husband’s back, tried to flee when discovered. In the end, it’s their family matter, and I shouldn’t really interfere, don’t you agree? I’ve received word that her husband will be here soon. How he decides to handle it is his own affair. Let’s go."
Uncle Dog looked at Director Tong and then at the group of drivers, feeling that something was amiss.
No, Director Tong had not said that a moment ago.
But since the director was in charge, he couldn’t just ignore a life at stake, "Director Tong, if it’s just a family dispute, we naturally shouldn’t interfere. But the situation doesn’t seem quite right now."
"I understand this situation better than you. It’s a domestic issue of a prominent household from the Imperial Capital. Even if I wanted to, I couldn’t overstep their authority. You understand, right?" Director Tong said with reluctance in his eyes. "Didn’t you hear what that man called her? Young Madam. Whose wife could be referred to as Young Madam, if not someone from a noble family?"
Uncle Dog thought of Zhao Youqian’s words. Zhao Youqian, he went to make a phone call; could it mean that he discovered this woman here and thus informed her husband to come over.
"If it’s a domestic matter, we indeed shouldn’t intervene. However, Director Tong, Zhao Hu’s condition isn’t good, and he can’t be left alone. How about I stay here to take care of him? Although he’s hopeless, he’s still the only son of my uncle. I can’t neglect him."
To put it bluntly, if Zhao Hu hadn’t been foolish, he wouldn’t have ended up in his current predicament.
Director Tong glanced at Zhao Hu, "He doesn’t look well injured. In that case, I’ll help you carry him to your house, so you can take the time to care for him."
"No need, no need. Just leave him at his house. Look at him, if we carry him to my place, I won’t get any sleep tonight, with him groaning non-stop." Uncle Dog waved his hand, "How about this, if I’m inconvenient here, I’ll leave first."
"Get out," one of the drivers suddenly exploded, "All of you, get out."
Uncle Dog glanced at Xiaofeng and then at the situation, realizing he was no longer of much use here. He walked over to Xiaofeng and whispered, "Miss, be careful. As for your kids, shall I take them to my place first?"
Children are innocent when adults make mistakes.
"Thank you, Grandpa, where mom is, we are. We won’t leave our mom," Gu Dabao said, sounding mature beyond his years.
Xiaofeng also smiled at Uncle Dog, "Uncle Dog, I happen to want to see how they will deal with me. I’m fine, don’t worry."
Just now, Youqian said he was making a phone call. She believed she would be safe very soon.
"As long as you are aware, that’s good." From what had just transpired, it seemed that the lady was not one to suffer easily, but from the current situation, she still seemed to be at a disadvantage.
She had said so herself, and even if he wanted to help, he was helpless.
After dragging Zhao Hu out of the yard, Uncle Dog had barely stepped out when he heard a loud bang—the yard’s gate closed behind him.
Uncle Dog looked at Director Tong, "Director Tong, can you guarantee the safety of that lady and her children?"
Even if it’s dealing with a family matter, it shouldn’t result in loss of life.
"A clean official finds it hard to settle domestic disputes; it’s not my place to intervene." Director Tong did not want to deal with the matter, and turned to an officer to check the time, "It’s getting late, we should head back as well."
