Rebirth: He Decides to Lie Flat
Chapter 377 - 377 372 Alarm Handling

Chapter 377: Chapter 372: Alarm Handling Chapter 377: Chapter 372: Alarm Handling It wasn’t his dad, Mu Jiawen guessed it was probably one of the household heads that he had provoked.

But obviously, this person was still too refined, trying to restrain the little demon by only grabbing him. How could that possibly work?

Mu Jiawen had beaten him and knew that although the child wasn’t tall, he was quite strong. She had to use almost all her strength to make him cry that day, but if it were someone else, especially someone like the middle-aged man in front of her, they would mostly hesitate to lay hands on a child.

But not all kids are the same, okay?

Because of the noise here, many neighbors were attracted to the scene, and those who recognized the middle-aged man asked, “Teacher Lu, has the kid bothered your little cat again?”

Teacher Lu’s wife liked to raise kittens, and her little kitten had almost been strangled to death by this little devil previously, which had made her cry for a long time.

While struggling to hold onto the little devil, Teacher Lu’s face darkened as he gritted his teeth and said, “He poisoned all my cats to death with rat poison.” Two adult Ragdolls and one kitten from the previous incident lay dead in the yard, and his wife was on the brink of collapse.

Onlookers gasped at the revelation, their eyes filled with revulsion as they looked at the little devil.

“He still has rat poison on him, could someone please call Director Cheng.”

Upon hearing that he still had poison on him, many people became furious, and instantly, a young person said, “I’ll go call.”

And with that, they turned and jogged away.

Director Cheng and his partner hadn’t arrived yet, but Teacher Lu’s wife came over, holding the corpse of the kitten.

Her eyes were red-rimmed, with tear stains on her face, and as soon as she arrived, she landed two slaps on the still struggling and trying to escape little demon, cursing, “You bastard, how dare you do this, I will beat you to death…”

“Wife, calm down.”

Teacher Lu was more rational, understanding that an adult hitting a child could blow things out of proportion, he quickly twisted the little devil out of the way of his wife’s second slap and called two neighbors to hold back his wife.

“Mrs. Zhang, please calm down, we can ask for compensation from his family.”

“Right, ask for a larger sum.”

But these words were just consolation, which family living in Qinghe Garden would be short of money?

No amount of compensation could bring back her well-trained and familiar cats, could it?

After being slapped twice, the little devil quieted down for less than three seconds before he began screaming at the top of his lungs again, “Ah ah ah… murder… there’s a murder…”

Suddenly, there was a “bang” as a large white block of wood hit the little devil on the head, silencing him instantly. When he turned his head to look, Jiawen was staring at him with a cold voice saying, “Keep shouting, and I’ll twist your head off.”

The little devil didn’t dare to make a sound anymore.

Meanwhile, Mrs. Zhang, who was being held back by others, looked down at the white kitten in her arms, tears dripping down steadily when suddenly she took out her phone with a trembling voice and said, “I’m calling the police, I want to report this… this is poisoning… even if the police do nothing, I’ll sue them.”

The “them” she referred to, of course, wasn’t just the little demon but also his family.

Just because a child is too young to bear legal responsibility, does that mean he should be allowed to wreak havoc? What are the guardians there for? Are they dead?

The onlookers were stunned, even Teacher Lu watched his wife call the police without a word to stop her.

Today, we’ll have to tear our faces off with Director Cheng no matter what. If they plead with us in private again and it all ends up being let go, it would be even worse than handling it publicly.

Right after Teacher Zhang called the police and hung up, Director Cheng and his wife hurried over.

“Oh my, what happened here? Teacher Lu, let go first… ah, what’s wrong with my grandson’s face?”

“Grandma, she hit me, she, that woman.”

The little devil’s hands were restrained and he couldn’t move, so he just raised his chin and pointed towards Teacher Zhang, yelling loudly, “Hit back, Grandma, help me hit back…”

Director Cheng’s wife, with a stern face, turned to look at Teacher Zhang, “Teacher Zhang, my grandson is just a ten-year-old child, and you’re a teacher. How could you bear to hit a child so hard? And you too, Teacher Lu, we old folks have already come over. If there’s something to say, say it, why are you still holding onto a child and not letting go, you…”

“Shut up!”

Before the old woman could finish speaking, Director Cheng rebuked her with a dark face.

Teacher Lu was a colleague from the same school, and Cheng knew his temperament well. If his grandson hadn’t done something too outrageous, he wouldn’t have held onto the child like this. Furthermore, Cheng had noticed the cat in Teacher Zhang’s arms, motionless.

A sense of foreboding suddenly rose in Director Cheng’s heart.

“Teacher Zhang, your cat…”

“Is dead!” Teacher Zhang scoffed with a cold laugh, stepped forward, and lifted the already lifeless cat in her arms to Director Cheng’s wife’s face, demanding loudly, “You’re distressed by me hitting him twice. How about my cat, then? He killed all three of our family’s cats; how do you plan to compensate for that? Compensate for my cat, bring my cat back to life and then I’ll let you hit back, compensate, compensate…”

Director Cheng’s wife, frightened, stepped back again and again, averting her eyes from the cat.

Director Cheng’s face was ashen, and he glared at his wife, “Spoiled, just keep spoiling him. Are you happy now that he’s turned out this way, huh?”

His wife muttered softly, glancing at him, “It’s just a cat; if it’s dead, can’t we just compensate with money? Why do you have to yell at me in public?”

Just compensate with money?

Teacher Lu laughed out of anger and said, “Director Cheng, you might want to notify your son and daughter-in-law. Your grandson fed our cats rat poison, which constitutes poisoning. We’ve already called the police, and as guardians, his parents must be present.”

There was silence at the scene, and three seconds later, Director Cheng’s wife came to her senses and shrieked, “Called the police? Are you serious, you called the police?”

Her face flushed with anger, she glared at Teacher Lu, “We live in the same neighborhood, can’t you have a little consideration for face? It’s not enough you hit the child, and now you’re actually calling the police over this trivial matter, it’s really…”

Teacher Lu’s expression remained calm as he looked at Director Cheng, “Director, it’s not the first time your grandson has messed with our cats. In the past, my wife would just tolerate it considering we live in the same neighborhood. But perhaps it’s our repeated tolerance that has only encouraged your child to become more brazen, indiscriminately harming our cats. You’re aware your grandson is only ten years old. With such a cruel and disrespectful attitude towards life at that age, as teachers, haven’t you ever reflected that there’s something abnormal about his behavior?”

The local police station was quite close to Qinghe Garden, and before Director Cheng could even inform his son, two police officers arrived.

“Who called the police?”

Teacher Zhang, holding the cat, stepped forward and said, “I did.”

Then she pointed her finger at the troublemaking child, “He scattered rat poison in my home, which killed my three cats. He still has some in his pocket, you can search him.”

“Officer, my grandson is still young; he didn’t know that was rat poison…”

Onlookers shook their heads as they saw Director Cheng’s wife still trying to make excuses for the child at this time.
