[The Return of Fate] (A Common Man's Loss of Will) Chapter 123

Author: Dugu Yiye
Unintentionally
, Just when Ye Nanfei thought things could finally settle down, another unexpected problem arose. Hongjie was nearing her due date,
but the landlord was causing a scene at the shop. Ye Nanfei explained repeatedly, but to no avail. He was on the verge of a breakdown. His first
thought was that the Ji family was behind it all, so he had no choice but to go to Ning Sirou again. He could still afford to be humbled in front of Ning Sirou
.
Ning Sirou was already dissatisfied with his recent behavior; he was rarely seen, and when he was, it always seemed like something was wrong. Although
she rationally knew that there was no future for them, it was obvious he didn't care about her. Upon hearing this,
she immediately became angry: "I'm at my wit's end this time! He was released, how could he be caught again? What were you doing?"
Ye Nanfei: "Oh dear, Sister Sirou, who knew his family would be so careless? I thought handing him over to his family would
be the end of the matter—like my son getting married. But who would have thought they'd be causing trouble in my shop every day, driving
me crazy. I asked you to help me get him out, but he was caught again after only a few days. Do you think
someone's pulling strings behind the scenes?"
Ning Sirou: "Hiss... Don't say that, it's possible, otherwise it doesn't make sense."
Two days later, Ning Sirou sent news that an anonymous letter had been delivered to the bureau chief, listing numerous
misdeeds of the landlord's son, and how he had bribed his way out. Whether it was true or not, the fact remained that the man
had indeed been caught and released, which was quite rare at the time. The bureau chief was furious, and the station chief, of course, was afraid, so he quickly brought him back.
The report didn't mention Mule.
There was still no direct evidence proving that the Ji family was responsible, but when it came to reporting someone,
the Ji family was the most likely to have the motive and benefit. Ye Nanfei had no choice but to use his trump card. The one who tied the knot must untie it; he took out the
photo he had been keeping all along—it was time to use it. He wrote a letter, put the photo together, tied it to a rock, and
smashed it against the Ji family's door window in the middle of the night.
Throwing the photo at the Ji family's house was meant to warn them to stop causing trouble behind their backs. The one who could get things done was
the bureau chief; the photo would definitely end up in his hands. As for how to get the person out, that was their problem to solve—after all, they were the ones who
caused the trouble. The gist of his letter was that everyone knew exactly what had happened since the person was arrested.
They needed to figure out how the person was arrested and how to get them released; otherwise, there were many more photos like this, and they might
end up in the newspapers, on the leaders' desks, or distributed to relatives and neighbors—it was all very complicated.
His family was stunned when they saw the photos. They knew their uncle's daughter and son-in-law were having a fight, but they didn't know why
. Could it be because of this? Director Zhang had always been a pillar of support for his relatives. No matter how much he had wronged their daughter
, no one wanted to lose such a powerful ally. The matter was too big for them to hide. They quickly
sent the photos to their cousin, but didn't dare send a letter; they only relayed the message verbally
. Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to explain it to their family if they found out they were the ones who caused the trouble.
The cousin wasn't surprised to see the photos. The two had been in a cold war, and it wasn't over yet. But a husband's position and his wife's status were intertwined, and this
involved her husband's future career. She understood the implications and immediately handed the photos to her husband.
Zhang Hao was initially shocked, as this had always been a worry for him, making it difficult for him to feel at ease. But at the same time, he sensed that
the person holding his secret was about to be exposed.
After questioning the Ji family, the situation became clearer with each inquiry: it was indeed Ye Nanfei, the owner of the clothing store.
The conflict between the two families was now fully exposed, but both were hesitant to act rashly, resulting in a delicate balance. However, this balance was
only temporary. Ye Nanfei's exposure had caught the attention of Zhang Hao, the deputy director of the bureau. Being targeted by a powerful leader
was not a good thing, but for now, he dared not openly confront them and could only slowly seek an opportunity.
As a former powerful leader in the Industry and Commerce Bureau, getting rid of
someone who hadn't committed any major offenses and had even recently performed meritorious service wasn't difficult. However, after investigating the events, he discovered that the Ji family had
caused him considerable trouble. His anxieties might even stem from them, further fueling his resentment. With the landlord's son out of trouble again,
Ye Nanfei could finally focus on caring for Sister Hong during her childbirth. But let's leave that aside for now. Meanwhile, Tie Dan's situation
was no less stressful than Ye Nanfei's.
Tie Dan felt guilty and remorseful towards Ma Hongli and her daughter Cao Lihong, feeling that he was the one who caused
their family tragedy. Therefore, he took on the role of the man in the family, going to
the Cao family whenever he had free time, doing all the chores inside and outside the house, and comforting Ma Hongli. Ma Hongli was a very weak-willed
woman; her husband's sudden arrest left her feeling helpless. Tie Dan's presence indeed brought her
much peace of mind. Cao Lihong, on the other hand, quickly recovered from the trauma of her father's death.
However, a difference in thought and values emerged between Tie Dan and Cao Lihong; they were practically diametrically opposed. Tie
Dan felt guilty and wanted to make amends, and he genuinely loved Cao Lihong. When a man truly loves a
woman, especially if he intends to marry her, he becomes very restrained and cherishes her.
In his behavior, he treats her with respect, tries to control his desires, avoids anything inappropriate, and
behaves very dutifully, honestly, and politely.
As someone with sexual experience, Cao Lihong naturally didn't want to stay at
the stage of just holding hands and kissing. Moreover, the fact that this guy couldn't even do that made Cao Lihong increasingly disappointed. As the saying goes, "women
don't love bad men," and sometimes women hope their favorite men have a bit of a wild, roguish charm
. Cao Lihong wanted him to be a little roguish, but this guy, Tie Dan, with his roguish background, wasn't roguish at all
. If Tie Dan knew Cao Lihong's true feelings, he'd probably regret it terribly. It was a misjudgment, a complete misjudgment!
If it were a pure, innocent young girl experiencing her first love, his actions might have been more appealing.
Both were in a state of disappointment and resentment. Cao Lihong sometimes felt a nameless anger rising within her, but
she couldn't express it, so she could only vent her frustration on Tie Dan. Tie Dan felt wronged, feeling that all his restraint and
sacrifices hadn't earned him a kind word. In an attempt to please Cao Lihong, Tiedan made a
decision he would later deeply regret: he took her to a dance hall for a wild time. This led to an unexpected and intense affair; Cao Lihong immediately
felt like she had found her people, that this was the paradise of her dreams.
Cao Laosan was imprisoned, and Ma Hongli couldn't control her at all, so she took every opportunity to go to dance halls. This was a real hardship for Ma Hongli
; old grievances hadn't subsided, and new ones were added to her troubles. Seeing this, Tiedan felt even more guilty and remorseful: "Auntie, don't get upset,
I'll go find her."
But when he went, he didn't find her; instead, he had a huge argument with Cao Lihong. Cao Lihong already
harbored resentment towards this woman who wasn't a rogue when she should have, and now she was acting like a father figure to her. How could she not be anxious?
Tiedan's authority to control her was already questionable, and he always tried to appease her, so all he got was a scolding and no one listened to
him. "
I can't control Cao Lihong," he thought, "so I'll make trouble for anyone who dares to touch her." This
was similar to Cao Laosan's approach, except he lacked Cao Laosan's force. He initially chased away a few guys, but
when the music started, the dimly lit dance floor, illuminated only by flashing neon lights, attracted a large number of
eyes with Cao Lihong's provocative dance moves. Meanwhile, a pair of eyes on the sidelines were also burning with desire. Imagine, the person you like
is dancing seductively with numerous men in front of you, exchanging flirtatious glances with others—it would be strange not to be aroused.
Cao Lihong seemed to be deliberately trying to provoke him; the more attention he paid to her, the more energetic she became, dancing wildly
and frequently flirting and interacting with the men who approached. The atmosphere in the dance hall was ignited; the music fueled passion, the dance
released it, and restless hearts were stirred, trembling with passion. Pairs of eyes blazing with desire focused on
Cao Lihong's youthful vitality, and people kept gathering around her. While others were burning with desire, Tie Dan
was burning with rage, unable to contain himself any longer. He rushed onto the dance floor and dragged Cao Lihong away.
Cao Lihong cursed at him, struggling and refusing to leave. Yu Lili also came to help Cao Lihong. The surrounding crowd was caught up
in a frenzy, and the sudden interruption was unbearable, especially since the girl was unwilling.
When hormones and adrenaline surge, it's hard to bear seeing a beautiful woman being bullied. When else would they be ready to be heroes and save the damsel in distress?
It was time to prove themselves as men. These men were already aroused and couldn't wait to
pull Cao Lihong into their arms and have their way with her. But someone
beat them to it. Tie Dan's actions aroused the crowd's anger. Someone shouted, "Hey... what are you doing? Kidnapping a woman?"
"Hey... she was dancing perfectly fine, what are you doing?"
Some pushed him, while others glared at him and questioned him. They were all hot-tempered and quite arrogant,
each wanting to leave a good impression on the beautiful women and unwilling to lose face. Tie Dan, already seething with anger, was shoved several
times, so he shoved back, igniting a powder keg. The surrounding people joined the fray. Although Tie Dan
had trained well with Ye Nanfei, he lacked real combat experience, and this wasn't a case of one fist being no match for four hands; he was surrounded
by people, all wanting to hit him.
In such a public place, once a fight breaks out, it quickly spirals out of control. At first, everyone was attacking him, but soon
chaos erupted, a melee ensued. Women screamed and ran out, while men were either being beaten or attacking others.
Tie Dan initially curled up on the ground, clutching his head, but once the fighting started, he was no longer the primary target. He
quickly scrambled to the wall, stood up, and looked for Cao Lihong.
The dance hall was still dimly lit, with only the neon lights flickering and swaying. Suddenly, a woman screamed from across the street
. Looking up in the flashing light, two men were groping a woman with
a baby face and a hairstyle resembling number five. Who else could it be but Cao Lihong? In those days, young women dressed extravagantly and flamboyantly;
it was easy to spot someone dressed like a student.
Tie Dan didn't hesitate and rushed over. The two men had cornered Cao Lihong against the wall, groping
and kissing her. Although Cao Lihong enjoyed physical intimacy, this kind of coercion was unacceptable to any woman;
it only made them feel fear and discomfort. She struggled. Tie Dan slapped one of the men on the shoulder, and when the man
turned around, Tie Dan punched him. Then he started fighting with the other man. This guy was taller and
stronger than Tie Dan, and the two of them grappled and struggled, locked in a stalemate. All the techniques Tie Dan had learned
were useless in the tension and excitement.
The two fought in a manner more akin to wrestling. The guy who had been hit first regained his balance, smashing a beer bottle against
Tie Dan's head. With a loud "crack," the bottle shattered, and Tie Dan's head spun. He was knocked unconscious and
thrown to the ground, where the two men began kicking and stomping him. Tie Dan had learned nothing from fighting since childhood,
but he had learned one thing: when being hit, it's best to huddle together, protect your head with your hands, and then ignore the rest.
After a while, the two men realized there was no more movement, assuming they'd beaten him enough and he was probably unconscious. Panting
heavily, they turned to Cao Lihong, who was trembling with fear and crouching in the corner. "Hehe... little sister... how was it? This
guy bullied you, we took care of him for you, how are you going to repay us, hehe." As they spoke, they slowly approached,
intending to pull Cao Lihong away.
But then someone behind them spoke up: "Damn it, did you get my permission? This girl is my chick."
The two men turned around and saw that the guy they had just taken down was now standing there alive,
holding a stool. He was already dark-skinned, and in the dim light, with blood on his face, only his clear black and white
eyes stared fiercely at them, looking particularly terrifying in the flashing neon lights. Just as they were wondering what was going on, Tie Dan
charged at them, stool in hand.
