Chapter 82: The False Accusation Reversal
Chapter 82: The False Accusation Reversal
Jia Zhangshi had no idea about these intricacies. She had always believed that Yi Zhonghai was the big boss in the courtyard, and that as long as Yi Zhonghai stepped in, there was nothing the courtyard couldn't handle.
But after Zhang Lei's analysis, everything that was originally certain changed.
Having exhausted all other options, she resorted to shamelessness, stubbornly shouting, "I don't care! My son's gambling is definitely related to you! If you dare not resolve this for me, I'll go to the factory and cause a scene, and see if you can still work there!"
Hearing this, Zhang Lei laughed even harder. He raised his eyebrows and said, "Alright, Jia Zhangshi, if you want to cause trouble, then go ahead and do it now! If that doesn't work, I'll lend you my bicycle. Ride it and cause as much trouble as you want, how about that? It would be best if you could make me lose my job!"
Jia Zhangshi was stunned on the spot, and she kept thinking to herself: Something's not right, this is not the way to open it.
In the past, whenever someone in the compound got into trouble, as long as they made a scene, the other party would immediately back down. Why is it that Zhang Lei is completely unpredictable?
Zhang Lei found Jia Zhangshi's bewildered expression particularly amusing.
Even if Zhang Lei had been the one gambling, it wouldn't have been a small matter for the factory to fire him.
You should know that Zhang Lei could deliver 2,000 jin of meat to the factory every month. In those days, whoever had meat in their hands was the boss.
As long as Zhang Lei controls the supply channels, Li Huaide will have to protect him if he wants meat. Otherwise, Zhang Lei would be a fool to give Li Huaide so much meat.
Moreover, Zhang Lei was counting on the sales of 2000 jin of meat per month to make plans for his three brothers-in-law to move to the city in the future.
Even if he lost his job because of this, he wouldn't rely on that salary to make a living.
Moreover, the Ye sisters, Ye Shuqi and Ye Shuhua, have jobs and their monthly salaries are enough to cover the living expenses of the four of them.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Zhang Lei said, "Fine, Jia Zhangshi, if you won't go, then I, Zhang Lei, will turn myself in. I will definitely go to the police station and explain everything clearly and plainly."
As he spoke, he lifted his leg to walk out.
This move stunned everyone present. They wondered what was going on. Why was Zhang Lei suddenly going to turn himself in? Had Zhang Lei gone mad?
As everyone watched Zhang Lei's retreating figure, a sense of unease arose in their hearts. Even the three sisters, Ye Shuqin, Ye Shuqi, and Ye Shuhua, stood rooted to the spot, somewhat at a loss.
Before Zhang Lei could take two steps, Jia Dongxu and Yan Jiecheng suddenly rushed out from behind him, shouting in unison, "Zhang Lei, you can't go to the police station!"
Yan Jiecheng was so anxious that he stamped his feet and added, "Zhang Lei, you can't leave!"
Seeing their unusual reaction, everyone immediately sensed that something was wrong.
What's going on? Zhang Lei wanted to turn himself in, but these two stopped him? Didn't they keep saying they were the victims?
Zhang Lei looked at Yan Jiecheng and Jia Dongxu, raised an eyebrow, and asked, "What's going on with you two? Didn't you say that I tricked you into going to the casino and encouraged you to take out high-interest loans?"
At this moment, Yan Fugui looked at his son and Jia Dongxu's behavior and a bad feeling suddenly welled up in his heart.
Coupled with Zhang Lei's series of unusual actions, he suddenly seemed to understand something.
His face immediately turned ashen with rage, and he shouted sharply, "Yan Jiecheng, you explain yourself clearly! What exactly happened?! If it's really as you said before, then let Zhang Lei turn himself in. But if there's even a single lie, you must explain yourself clearly today!"
Yan Jiecheng could no longer hold back; his legs gave way and he collapsed to the ground.
He grabbed Yan Fugui's trouser leg, sobbing uncontrollably, "Dad, it was Jia Dongxu who made me say that! It was him, he was the one who wanted to set a trap for me to help frame Zhang Lei!"
"Later, we failed in our scheme and ended up borrowing money from loan sharks ourselves. We wanted to shift all the blame onto Zhang Lei so you could cause trouble for him and pay off our gambling debts!"
At this moment, Jia Dongxu, seeing Yan Jiecheng spill all his secrets, trembled with rage and pointed at him, stammering, "This, this is all nonsense from Yan Jiecheng! You, you're a complete waste!"
At this moment, everyone watching, including Jia Zhangshi and Yan Fugui, was stunned by Yan Jiecheng's words.
The situation took such a dramatic turn that everyone suddenly realized why Zhang Lei dared to be so adamant about turning himself in; it turned out he hadn't been involved in any of those things at all and had been completely innocent from beginning to end.
At this moment, Zhang Lei walked up to Yan Jiecheng and kicked him in the groin with a kick that would cut off his genitals, and then kicked him hard in the leg.
Yan Jiecheng screamed in pain like a pig being slaughtered, curling up into a ball on the ground.
After kicking Yan Jiecheng, Zhang Lei took advantage of Jia Dongxu's momentary daze and delivered a fatal kick to him.
Instantly, Jia Dongxu curled up on the ground in pain, rolling around and howling. Cold sweat streamed down his face, and he couldn't even utter a complete sentence.
Seeing their disheveled state, Zhang Lei spat on the ground and said coldly, "This is what happens when you two frame me! This is just a small lesson for you. Next time you try to pin some nonsense on me, it won't just be a simple physical punishment. I'll make sure you rot in jail and pay back all the debts you owe, with interest!"
Seeing Jia Dongxu writhing on the ground in pain, Jia Zhangshi's eyes turned bloodshot. She charged straight at Zhang Lei, yelling as she rushed forward, "Zhang Lei, you dare kick my son? I'll fight you to the death!"
Seeing Jia Zhangshi rushing towards him, Zhang Lei stomped his foot hard, leaving a shallow mark on the cement floor.
His eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he said coldly, "Jia Zhangshi, if you don't want your son to go to jail, you'd better get out of here with him! If you dare to cause any more trouble with me again, I'll make sure your son rots in jail!"
At this moment, Ye Shuqin, Ye Shuqi, and Ye Shuhua ran to Zhang Lei's side.
Ye Shuqin grabbed his arm and asked anxiously, "Husband, are you alright?"
Zhang Lei shook his head and gestured with his chin towards the two people on the ground: "It's alright, see, they've told the truth, haven't they?"
Ye Shuqi looked worried, her eyes reddening: "Brother-in-law, you scared us to death. What would we three sisters do if something really happened to you?"
The crowd wanted to stay put and watch the show unfold, but Zhang Lei spoke coldly, "Are you all done something? If not, get out of my house."
Upon hearing Zhang Lei's voice urging them to leave, the crowd exchanged bewildered glances, no longer daring to linger, and quickly lowered their heads and headed away.
The most disheveled of all were the Jia and Yan families.
They never imagined that after such a huge commotion, it would all turn out to be their own son's fault, and that Zhang Lei had absolutely nothing to do with it.
