Chapter 251: Catching Them in the Act

"Bro, we’ll help you!"

One of them clapped him on the shoulder, trying hard to suppress a smile as he spoke with a firm tone.

"Yeah, we feel for you!"

The unlucky guy was instantly moved to tears of gratitude.

"So, uh, are those two still at your place? We can’t have them running off before we get there."

"Let’s go, let’s go! Let’s go right now! Don’t let them get away."

Instantly, several ’concerned citizens’ stepped forward to right this wrong.

Yun Jiao tagged along, stuffing her pockets with snacks from her master.

"Master, I’m gonna go take a look too! I’ll come find you later."

How could she miss out on this kind of excitement? Clutching her pile of snacks, Yun Jiao scurried off, her little legs moving as fast as they could.

Elder Xu’s eyes widened. "Wait! Yun Jiao, you get back here!"

But her tiny figure slipped into the crowd in a flash and vanished.

No exaggeration—if it weren’t for the fact that many people were waiting to be seen and valued their health, they would have wanted to tag along too.

No matter the era, it’s in the nature of Huaguo people to love crowding around to watch some drama unfold.

This was catching a cheater in the act, live! And it was his best friend getting it on with his girlfriend. Who could resist taking a peek at something so thrilling?

Yun Jiao couldn’t, anyway.

She trotted along happily behind the group like a little tail.

The group soon arrived at a residential complex and went up to the third floor.

The man first pressed his ear to the door, trying to hear if anyone was still inside.

But then a second head followed, and a third...

Soon, several heads were layered one after another against the wooden door.

Yun Jiao used her nimble size to squeeze to the front, then she also crouched down, tilted her head, and pressed her ear against it.

And then she found herself staring wide-eyed at the cuckolded man at the center of all the gossip.

The man: !!!

’Wait, why is there a kid here?!’

Cold sweat broke out on his forehead. ’What if the two of them inside are doing something inappropriate for a kid to hear?!’

Fortunately, there were no vulgar sounds coming from inside.

’They’re probably finished.’

The unlucky guy instantly let out a sigh of relief.

Yun Jiao grinned at the unlucky guy.

Her hearing was sharp, so she could naturally hear the movements in the room more clearly than anyone else.

But what the two people inside were discussing at that moment was also pretty explosive.

"How much longer are you going to stay with that loser? Any progress on the apartment?"

This was a man’s rough voice, laced with clear impatience.

"Damn it, you’re my woman. What the hell is this, spending every day with that spineless punk?"

"Oh, Brother Qiang, just be a little more patient. Once I get the rest of the money he has, and this apartment, we can start our good life together."

"Besides, if it weren’t for him, how could you be living so carefreely on the money you get from me?"

The people outside the door heard this and all turned their gazes in unison to the unlucky guy.

The unlucky guy: ...

QAQ.

’Now that I think about it,’ he thought, ’I give most of my salary to my girlfriend every month. So... so she’s been taking my money to support another man!’

’No wonder. No wonder that guy Wang Qiang was living so well without a job. The worst part was, he used my own money to treat me to meals, all while mocking me that even though I had a job, I wasn’t living as freely and lavishly as he was.’

’SOB... That was all my money!’

The conversation inside continued, but it was mostly just them mocking the unlucky guy.

The crowd outside all cast sympathetic glances at the man.

The unlucky guy couldn’t take it anymore. With so many people there as backup, he was about to burst in angrily when he suddenly felt someone push him from behind.

It wasn’t just him; the others felt a push too.

"Hey, hey, hey... Stop pushing! Don’t push!"

The truth was, the people on the outer edge of the crowd couldn’t hear clearly. Burning with curiosity to know what was happening, they couldn’t help but squeeze forward.

And then...

CRASH...

The flimsy wooden door instantly gave way under the weight of so many people and gloriously collapsed.

A pile of people ended up on the door panel, stacked like a human Jenga tower.

Yun Jiao, with her quick reflexes, dodged out of the way, avoiding the fate of being crushed.

Her big eyes looked toward the people inside the room, wanting to get a good look at the other two people at the center of the scandal.

A woman with disheveled clothes was sitting on the lap of a large, burly man.

The two of them were too stunned to react, staring blankly at the pile of people at the doorway.

And then...

"AHHHH!!!"

"Wh-who are you!"

The woman quickly clutched her clothes, her face a mask of terror and fear.

The man, on the other hand, glared furiously. But when he saw the familiar person crushed at the bottom of the pile, his pupils contracted.

His first instinct was to run.

But the door was blocked.

The third floor wasn’t too high. He quietly sidled over to the window and looked down.

Yun Jiao pointed at the man. "He’s trying to run away."

Instantly, many of the people still on the floor scrambled up, rushed into the room, and pinned the man down.

"Where do you think you’re going, you scoundrel!"

"You adulterer! You think you can run? Not today! Not while we’re here."

"Bro, get up! We caught the homewrecker."

Seeing that things were going south, the woman also tried to flee in a panic.

But she was caught by several of the women in the crowd.

"You think you can run? After doing something so shameless, you think you can get away?!"

Munching on peanuts, Yun Jiao nodded in agreement. ’Exactly, exactly.’

She even found a small stool for herself and sat down in a corner.

’Can’t get in the way of the enthusiastic crowd’s performance.’

"What are you doing? Let me go!"

"What are we doing? Don’t you know what you’ve done? I bet you didn’t expect this! Not only did we come to help this young man catch you in the act, but we also heard your shameless scheming!"

"Let me go! I didn’t do it! Stop spouting nonsense, there’s nothing between him and me."

Of course the woman wouldn’t admit it. She looked at her boyfriend. "Ah Cai, I didn’t! Please, save me! You believe me, right?"

She cried so pitifully.

It had to be said, the woman was quite attractive. Especially when she cried, she evoked a desire in people to protect her.

The unlucky guy turned his head away. "I saw everything."

He cried even more heartbrokenly, though it wasn’t a pretty sight.

"I treated you so well! And you," he said, turning to the other man, "I treated you like a brother, but you both betrayed me."

"You even used my money to support him!"

"No, I didn’t."

The woman kept trying to argue her way out of it, but the crowd, who had already heard their conversation from outside, wasn’t buying it.

"Young man, you can’t go soft on her! This kind of woman is no good. They’re after your money and your apartment!"

"Yeah! If you actually marry someone like this, you won’t even know if the kids she has are yours! But you’ll have to raise them, while she keeps taking your money to support her man on the side. What does that make you?"

"Bro, don’t be a fool."

Judging by how devastated the guy was earlier, it looked like he was having a hard time getting over it. They were genuinely afraid that the woman would sweet-talk him and he’d just forgive her.

’Then what would be the point of us even coming?’

The unlucky guy wiped his tears. "Give me my money back, and then you two can leave."

The woman grew frantic. "Ah Cai, how can you do this? Don’t you love me the most? It was just a moment of weakness! I promise I’ll be good to you from now on."

Yun Jiao piped up out of the blue, "If you’re going to be good to him, then what about your Brother Qiang?"

She wasn’t trying to stir up trouble; she was genuinely curious.
