Rebirth in the 1970s: Refusing to Be a Side Character

Chapter 41: Striking Back Hard

◎ Retribution Comes Quickly ◎

Eventually, the crowd was dispersed, and Lu Yao was taken away for comfort. However, she refused to leave He Chengjun's side, clinging to him persistently. Lu Ming had no choice but to ask He Chengjun to take care of her for a while.

He Chengjun was speechless. As a man, he had no idea how to look after her; in fact, he was eager to distance himself from Lu Yao. In the end, Lu Ming found two female nurses from the medical office to help.

As for Lai Mazi, he was caught red-handed and locked up, but due to his severe injuries, he remained unconscious.

The military district's leadership was furious and demanded a thorough investigation by the security department, wanting to see if there were any other criminals involved.

Everyone initially thought Lai Mazi was a random intruder and that Lu Yao was just an unfortunate victim. No one suspected that there might be a bigger conspiracy behind it all.

Outside the medical office, Lu Ming and He Chengjun were smoking. Dong Jiaojiao, eager for drama, refused to leave, so Lu Jinzou had to stay with her.

"He Chengjun, you've got quite the peculiar taste!" Dong Jiaojiao sneered.

He Chengjun didn't want Dong Jiaojiao to misunderstand, so he quickly explained, "It's not me; I'm innocent."

"But everyone saw it. Lu Yao was all over you, touching you, and the two of you were kissing passionately."

This was the version Dong Jiaojiao had heard from the crowd, likely exaggerated, but she didn't care.

In reality, when Lu Yao was rescued, the drug's effects hadn't worn off yet, and she kissed He Chengjun of her own accord. He Chengjun was resisting the whole time.

"I..."

He Chengjun was about to explain but was interrupted by Lu Ming next to him.

His tone was not good: "Dong Jiaojiao, my sister's in such a state; can't you say a few less sarcastic words?"

"Slap!" Before Lu Ming could finish speaking, Lu Jinzou gave him a slap across the face. "Lu Ming, watch your mouth! This is your aunt!"

The aura emanating from Lu Jinzou directly suppressed Lu Ming, coupled with his authority as an elder.

Lu Ming, feeling helpless, could only keep a sour expression and look away, unwilling to apologize to Dong Jiaojiao.

Dong Jiaojiao wasn't afraid of Lu Ming, especially since Lu Jinzou was there. When she chose to marry him, she had intended to use his influence, so now she would make full use of it.

So, Dong Jiaojiao continued, "Lu Yao did such a shameless thing, and you're afraid people will talk?

Maybe others won't say it to your face, but I will. I'll tell you, the gossip outside is worse than what I'm saying.

The security department has already found out that the scoundrel was someone Lu Yao brought over herself—an old lover of hers.

I think this whole thing wasn't a **** at all. Lu Yao was being promiscuous, desperate for a man, and when things went wrong, she blamed it all on the other guy!"

"Dong... Auntie, no matter what, we're still family. Can't you show some restraint?" Lu Ming gritted his teeth as he spoke.

"Who's family with Lu Yao? She's so shameless. I refuse to acknowledge her. I'm only family with Lu Jinzou.
