Chapter 467: 434 An inexplicable storm 2 (2 updates)

Facing the clamor of the crowd, Lu Han’s face darkened, seeming almost ready to drip with gloom, yet he didn’t forget to soothe Tongtong, who was trembling slightly with fright from the sudden commotion.

Tongtang was still young, well-behaved and sensible yet had never before faced such an emergency; momentarily, she didn’t know what to do.

But in his heart, he knew that neither Tang Su nor Lu Han had done anything wrong.

How could these people rashly accuse them?

Little Douding was a cat, but all along the way, Little Douding had been inside the basket, never having touched the ground, let alone actively pounced on any child.

It was those children who surrounded it, wanting to touch it, and at first, it was cooperative, but the children’s grasp was not gentle, hurting Little Douding, who couldn’t speak or cry out, so it could only try to escape.

It was the fat boy who wouldn’t let Little Douding hide; reaching out to grab it, it had no choice but to let out a fierce meow, yet it hadn’t harmed him, and he cried.

With his crying, his family started to accuse them unreasonably; these people were really too much.

And those onlookers didn’t even know what had happened, yet they passed judgment blindly.

How could this be?

The bystanders began to take out their phones and film them en masse.

Lu Han gave a cold glance around, stood up, and shielded Tongtong behind him, "Go ahead and film, as long as you all aren’t afraid of a lawsuit, I, Lu Han, am ready to see it through."

The crowd: "..."

Some of the more timid, due to Lu Han’s warning, quietly lowered their raised phones, but some of the braver ones continued to fearlessly film Lu Han.

"Ha, scaring who? You do something wrong, yet you dare to threaten us all, how capable are you? What did you just say, what’s your name? Come on, face the camera, and say it again."

"Kid, did our cat bite you? Did it scratch you? Why are you crying? A boy, how old are you, crying so easily?" Lu Han completely ignored that fool and instead directly asked the fat boy several questions.

"Why do you ask our baby like this? What’s wrong with our baby being a boy? Which law says boys can’t cry, crying is only a privilege for girls?"

The fat boy’s grandmother immediately shielded her grandson, loudly retorting at Lu Han.

"Boys can cry, they can also be coquettish with you, but what is the reason for crying, you don’t even figure it out, you just come up accusing us, is that appropriate?"

"You’re so funny when you talk, we have eyes, we can see, our baby was made to cry by the lot of you, and you just threatened us."

The fat boy’s grandmother also joined the fray.

On their side were six adults, and on this side, a child, two adults, and a cat that couldn’t speak for itself; no matter how you looked at it, they were outnumbered and outmatched.

They were many and powerful, so why should they be afraid of them?

"You have eyes? You can see? I think with so many eyes without beads, poking them out wouldn’t be a pity." Tang Su was rendered speechless by this family’s unreasonable aggressiveness.

Six people, and not one of them rational?

Then this whole family was indeed too absurd, wasn’t it?

"What are you saying, woman? Want a slap?" The three men, who had previously let the women take the lead, now pointed at Tang Su at the same time.

"Sister Tangtang—" Tongtong called out fearfully to Tang Su, not wanting her to be at a disadvantage, not wanting her to be bullied.

"I’m asking, are you deaf?"

No sooner had the words fallen than the fat boy’s father rolled up his sleeves and swung his hand, aiming to slap Tang Su right across the face.

None of the three women at his side moved to stop him.

Tang Su tilted her head back to dodge the slap while making sure to move Little Douding to a safe place.

At the same time, Lu Han swiftly stepped forward, his arm as strong as steel, forcibly restraining the man’s thick wrist with a firm grip; with just a bit more force, the man’s face instantly contorted.

However, not willing to concede in public, he could only scold Lu Han, "Let go—"

In her life, Tang Su had only been slapped by one person, and it was Ye Sichen. The reason she hadn’t dodged then was that she had not expected the cultured and polite Sichen to hit her over a single remark.

As for this stranger trying to slap her, that was simply a pipe dream.

"I’ve called the police, Lu Han," Tang Su said, holding up her cellphone to him.

"Uh-huh," Lu Han nodded, his grip on the man’s wrist remaining unyieldingly firm.

The man didn’t know what was happening, tried every trick in the book, but couldn’t break free; he could only glare at Lu Han, seething with anger.

"You have the nerve to call the police?" the man’s wife asked in disbelief.

"Why not? You bully us because you think you can, all of you against us—we, the oppressed and weaker party, can’t we call the police to seek justice on our behalf?"

Everyone: "..."

They are the weaker party?

Please forgive their blindness, they clearly hadn’t noticed.

Some in the crowd of onlookers worried that Tang Su and her side might be at a disadvantage, so they had already called the police early on.

The police arrived swiftly. As the police approached, the idle owners who had been hiding behind the kitchen finally jumped out and, seeing the commotion had grown this large, they had no choice but to try and play the peacemaker with forced smiles.

However, by then, neither Lu Han nor Tang Su were in any mood to agree with their conciliatory approach.

Making peace before either of them had lost their temper was one thing,

but now, that was absolutely out of the question.

As the police came over to ask questions, the child’s grandmother and mother hurried to search the child’s hands for injuries, but his plump hands were clean and unmarked, not a single scratch to be seen.

Indeed, their child hadn’t been hurt at all.

Just then, the two women exchanged glances. Without delay, the grandmother wickedly scratched the back of the chubby child’s hand with her fingernail, and he began crying out in pain.

"Officer, see for yourself, our baby was scratched by their cat. Look at this long mark. They won’t own up to it and even threatened us with legal action just now," she claimed.

"You really are shameless with age, committing the crime and then playing the victim. A scratch from fingernails is different from one made by a cat. A simple test will reveal the truth. Since we’re not busy today, let’s just go ahead and have it done," Tang Su retorted with a scoff.

While Lu Han communicated with the police, Tang Su kept an eye on the entire family. In terms of quick reactions, it wasn’t just the two self-proclaimed clever grannies who were fast.

There was a surveillance camera in the store, and considering the owners’ negligence, Tang Su didn’t count on them, but a test could still be done.

Even if it wasn’t, they could still bluff.

After all, the guilty are always afraid.

And sure enough, those who knew the truth about the scratch all flinched in that instant.

Thus, Tang Su watched them with a composed and serene demeanor as they feigned innocence.
