Chapter 7
I couldn't help but feel heartache when applying medicine to Zhang Lin's face upon my return.
"Why didn't you hit back?" I complained.
"Hmph, hit back? I only regret that he didn't hit hard enough."
"What do you mean?" I asked in surprise.
He was looking for a beating.
"Do you think I would endure this beating in vain? If he won't let me live happily, I won't let him either."
"So you deliberately took the child?"
"Of course. Given my elder brother's temper, he would definitely beat me up."
"What about the child?"
"I gave her back to Sister-in-law outside the neighborhood, then led elder brother to his shop."
But would this work?
"Previously, out of respect for him being my elder brother, I didn't argue with him. Now he's done for." Husband said viciously.
I soon understood what he meant.
Soon, videos of Husband being beaten and crying bitterly while pleading with his brother appeared on Douyin.
Since the incident happened at the entrance of Zhang Liang's advertising shop, people quickly identified that Zhang Liang was the owner of that store.
The biggest profit for Zhang Liang Advertising came from cooperation with his university.
That was the reason I admired my elder brother—he had earned his first bucket of gold from the university partnership.
Back then, he was just a recent graduate university student, yet he secured orders from the school and maintained a long-term collaboration. It was clear how deep the water ran.
Soon, it was exposed that Zhang Liang had bribed school personnel.
I suspected Husband had known about this all along, but he hadn't said anything before.
