“Oh, so you’re a tough woman now, huh? You think having someone back you up means I can’t handle you?” Zhou Nan adopted a menacing, thuggish demeanor as he reached out to grab Lin He’s hand.
Jiang He reacted swiftly and positioned himself in front of her. “Sir, if you continue causing a scene outside our hotel, don’t blame us for not being polite!”
“Bah! You shameless adulterer! You slept with my wife and now you’re trying to intimidate me! If you have the guts, call the police and have them arrest me!” Zhou Nan’s shouts grew louder, attracting a growing crowd of onlookers.
As soon as they realized it was a case of a woman cheating, people began to gather, pointing fingers at Jiang He.
“Oh my, he looks so handsome, but I can’t believe he’s involved in these sneaky affairs! He brought another man’s wife to this hotel to sleep with her, and was caught red-handed. This is going to be quite the spectacle!”
“It’s not true!” Lin He was afraid but didn’t want to subject Jiang He to baseless insults. Even if no one listened to her explanation, she tried to defend herself.

“Give it a rest! Why did the hotel owner bother to meddle in your affairs!”
“Clearly, you’re the one having an affair, and you’re trying to put the blame on your husband. How can you be so wicked and low?”
“That’s right. If you’re saying your husband cheated, then where is the other woman? It’s just you here!”
“Women like her are bound to meet a bad end!”
More and more people gathered, and the comments became increasingly derogatory.
Lin He felt overwhelmed, her eyes filling with tears. “It’s not like that; 1 didn’t lie. It’s my husband who betrayed our marriage. You don’t know anything, so why are you blaming me?”
Zhou Nan saw that the situation was tipping in his favor and was delighted. He continued to incite the crowd, “Look, everyone, my wife is determined to be with this adulterer! She doesn’t even want to go home with me! What should 1 do?”
“Take them to the police station!”
“Will the police handle this? Take her back to her parents’ house and see what her family says!”
“Yes, we absolutely can’t let her off easily!”
The crowd didn’t hold back their malice.
Lin He was in agony and barely able to breathe.
Jiang He discreetly blocked the view of the people looking at her. “Zhou Nan, if you continue to slander my reputation, I’ll sue you for defamation in court. Furthermore, if others in the crowd continue spreading rumors, I won’t hesitate to take them to court as well.”
“You’re just trying to scare us, right?”
“Yeah, even if the police come, they can’t arrest all of us. There’s a saying, ‘the law does not punish the masses,’ after all!”
The most offensive among them now wore expressions of indifference and continued to righteously censure Lin He and Jiang He.
Zhou Nan looked hesitant, but it wasn’t easy for him to create such a favorable situation for himself. How could he not seize the opportunity?

He wants to take my wife away! You all must help me; this person is trying to abduct my wife. Isn’t he no different from a human trafficker?”
His words became increasingly outrageous, and Lin He could no longer bear it. She rushed forward to confront him, “Zhou Nan, you’re despicable! You’re lying! I caught you in the act earlier, and now you’re twisting the truth. I won’t let you off!”
“Crazy woman, damn it!” Zhou Nan hadn’t expected her to scratch his face so suddenly. He wiped the blood off his face and flew into a rage, giving Lin He a hard slap.
Jiang He hurriedly pulled Lin He behind him and used his walkie-talkie to call security. “Are you all dead? Contact the police. There’s a disturbance at the hotel entrance.”
“Copy!” The voice on the walkie-talkie immediately responded.
When the people around heard that the police might really be called, they all began to worry that they might be unjustly implicated, and some started to have second thoughts.
In fact, they weren’t particularly concerned about justice for Zhou Nan; they just wanted to join in the excitement. Unexpectedly, now that the situation had escalated, they were naturally worried about getting caught up in it themselves.
Some individuals rolled his eyes and tried to slip away unnoticed.
But the security guards were very fast and immediately surrounded them.
Seeing the security response, Zhou Nan understood that things weren’t going well. He immediately sat on the ground and feigned a fit, “They assaulted me! They’re taking advantage of their position! Wealthy people are taking my wife and corrupting her. Where is the justice?”
Even Jiang He, who had always had a good temper, couldn’t contain his anger now.
He glared at Zhou Nan fiercely and gave instructions to the security personnel nearby, “Keep them here. No one is allowed to leave.. When are the police arriving?”
