False evidence

Chapter 199 The Sinner (Part 1)
I used to get into fights a lot when I was a kid.

It's inevitable for boys.

This was, I can say, the fiercest fight I've ever had in my memory.

Two people and a dog fought from one end of the alley to the other.

Later, another person joined the group of two people and a dog – a monkey.

He somehow got hold of a large, solid wood round table, grabbed it with both arms, and charged straight in from one end of the street, yelling, "Fuck your mother!!!"

The end result was that a small street was filled with cries of sorrow.

Me, Cao Xinyun, and Monkey were all slumped in corners, our heads bleeding, our mouths agape, unable to breathe...

I sat on the ground, leaning against the wall, holding the shovel that had been shoved.

Looking up, I saw Yan Fengwei.

At the same time, he saw the faces of Shi Shiping and others with white eyebrows.

My inner fire ignited, and I abruptly stood up, pointing a finger at Shi Shiping, and hissed:
"Remember this! From this day forward! Anyone who dares to set foot in the Fang family's residence! I will take their life!"

Yan Fengwei stepped forward, turned his back to me, and I instinctively grabbed his shoulder.

Yan Fengwei coldly said to Shi Shiping, Fang Pi, Fang Defa, Xin Fengli, and the others in front of him, "Did you all hear what my brother said?"

“I heard him, but I don’t know what he meant!” Attorney Ma said as he walked out of the restaurant.

No sooner had he finished speaking than a sudden screech of brakes came from the street corner.

Then, the sound of brakes came one after another, and to my ears, it never stopped.

The first few people to run over were Li Ping and Meng Chao, and even Gu Haitao.

Li Ping picked up the monkey and looked at the people crying and wailing in the alley, his face full of astonishment that he could not express in words.

Gu Haitao came over and looked me up and down. "No... I need to get to the hospital! Right now!"

Meng Chao looked around, but couldn't find anything, so he stood at the street corner, clenching his fists and jumping up and down: "Who the hell hit Twenty-One! Who the hell hit him! Come at me! I'll fucking come at me..."

Following closely behind, dozens of...

There were probably several hundred people, almost filling the entire street.

A middle-aged woman, dressed simply and of average appearance but certainly not ladylike, stepped forward first. She glanced at the 'battlefield' and then asked hysterically:
"Who hit my brother?! Step forward! Cao Furui has never suffered such a loss since the business opened! The Cao family has never been bullied like this! Who hit my brother?! Step forward!"

She was followed by dozens, even hundreds of people.

But most of these people are elderly.

Even among the young, half of them wore Chinese-style clothing.

Seeing such a grand display, if Shi Shiping and the others dared to utter another word, they would be complete idiots.

"Dog... save my dog..."

I was still out of breath and kept whispering in Yan Fengwei's ear, "Save my dog..."

I remember it very clearly.

Someone tried to stab me from the side, but Shuanzhu suddenly appeared and blocked it.

Next, all the vehicles that could "scream" arrived at the scene, except for the fire department.

Monkey, Cao Xinyun, and I lay together in a three-person hospital room for half a month.

One day, Gao He came over and said, "This matter is over. There are still more than a dozen people lying in the same building, upstairs and downstairs. It's over."

Then, he said to Cao Xinyun alone, "Tell your sister to stop making a scene. It'll get out of hand." Cao Xinyun pointed to the ceiling: "Who threw that brick at me?"

Gao He looked directly at him and said, "The other party has three broken ribs, it seems like he was elbowed in the face."

Seeing that Cao Xinyun had stopped talking, Gao He walked to my bedside: "You've achieved the effect you wanted! These days, your sister-in-law and Pidan have been taking turns keeping Fang Ling company. At her house, the neighbors all walk around her door, practically hugging the wall."

Monkey's injuries were the least severe; he was almost ready to be discharged. Sitting with his head turned to the side, he asked, "Brother Gao, when Sanqi sent a message to Brother Yan, telling him not to let anyone else make a move, you really didn't?"

Gao He replied without hesitation, "Do I have to do it? Not counting the women, you didn't beat them up either. Just the men, a total of nineteen, including two who just came out of the ICU, all nineteen of them are in this hospital, lying on the floors above and below yours. Tell me, how do I do it?"

Gao He turned to me and said, "You've achieved your goal. Within a radius of twenty miles of Sanfen Street, who dares to touch Fang Ling now? The stubborn are afraid of the ruthless, and the ruthless are afraid of the reckless. Everyone in Sanfen Street knows who Sanqi is, and no one dares to get close to the Fang family!"

Seeing Gao He looking at me, I covered my forehead and asked in a muffled voice, "Did I forget something?"

Gao He shook his head: "Your dog, Shuanzhu, is quite the actor. At first, I thought you had killed it by throwing it. It was stabbed, but its internal organs weren't damaged, and it's perfectly fine. After being treated by a veterinarian, Fang Ling is taking care of it now."

"Am I missing something?" I murmured to myself.

Gao He thought for a moment and said, "That's all, right? You were hit on the head twice, someone cracked your skull with half a brick. But you're perfectly conscious now. You're alright..."

"Something must have been overlooked!" I interrupted him decisively.

Gao He paused, then quickly shook his head: "I don't understand what you mean. Given the circumstances at the time, you wouldn't be held legally responsible at all, it's just..."

Before he could finish speaking, I suddenly sat up.

At the same time, Cao Xinyun, who was in the clinic, also sat up.

Seeing Cao Xin's expression change, Gao He said somewhat dejectedly, "Your sister really dotes on you. You sent her a message, didn't you? That very day, she probably dragged almost half the city's wealthy families to Sanfen Street, didn't she?"

Cao Xinyun ignored him but stared straight at me, muttering, "Why do I suddenly feel uneasy? Why? Did we make the wrong clothes for someone else?"

"What do you mean?" The monkey sat up, looking completely bewildered.

I sat up, stared blankly at Gao for a long while, and said, "Something's happened."

"What happened?" Gao asked, looking puzzled.

I blinked and asked, "After that fight...did Sister Ling and the others go out?"

Gao turned his head to the side, then turned back to me and said:

"Your fight was quite a spectacle! It was all for Fang Ling! Fang Ling has intellectual disabilities, but Pi Dan is perfectly fine, right? You were fighting for half the fight when everyone inside came out! Your wife... Pi Dan and the others saw everything in the second half! If your sister-in-law hadn't stopped him, Pi Dan would have grabbed a weapon and charged in!"

"And then?" I asked.

"What else happened? I was on the phone calling for help... Pidan was being held back by your sister-in-law, and she kept calling everyone you and she know..."

While Gao He was still rambling on, I had already dialed the phone—

"Drip... drip..."

The call connected, and Meng Chao's lazy voice came through the receiver: "Hey, Twenty-One, how are you doing now?"

"I'm fine, how about you?"

"I drank too much with Haitao yesterday..." The other person slurped, "Are you alright at the hospital?"

"It's okay, you can sleep a little longer."

After hanging up the phone, my eyes darted around rapidly.

"What do you mean?" Gao He asked. "You've already managed to subdue Uncle Cheng's relatives, what else do you want to do?"

I remained silent for a long while, then looked up at him and said, "We may have created a major criminal!"
