Reborn as a Tough Army Wife

Seeing Liu Junting being caught by Luo Zhiyong and still trying to squirm his way out, Fang Pingying slightly narrowed her eyes and walked towards him, saying coldly to Liu Junting, "Hand over the money."

Liu Junting was startled, then retorted Fang Pingying in irritation, "Hand over what? Just because you say so? What evidence do you have?"

"So it's clear you're not going to pay?" Fang Pingying frowned at him.

"Right."

Fang Pingying glanced at him, then looked around and saw a less crowded alley behind the mall. She said to Luo Zhiyong, "Zhiyong, it's too crowded here. Let's go over there and have a good talk with this Mr. Liu about this matter."

Luo Zhiyong's brows slightly furrowed; he thought Fang Pingying wanted to stand up for Fang Xiu and was not in favor of it. "Pingying, what are you planning to do?"

"Don't worry about it, just bring him over there. I'll have Fang Xiu ask him for the money herself," Fang Pingying said. "Also, he owes not only Fang Xiu, but me as well."

"Yours?" Luo Zhiyong didn't understand.

Fang Pingying nodded her head, mentioning the past incident at the shop, "Have you forgotten? When Fang Xiu was working in the shop, he stole money from our place. I said that when I see him, I would ask for it back."

"Never mind that, you're pregnant," Luo Zhiyong remembered but still disagreed with letting Fang Pingying go to ask for money, "Let Fang Xiu ask for her own money."

Fang Pingying smiled at him, signaling to take the man to the alley first, "I'll be careful. Nothing will happen; just bring him over."

Luo Zhiyong couldn't argue with Fang Pingying. Besides, Fang Xiu was family, so he followed Fang Pingying's words and grabbed Liu Junting towards the alley.

Liu Junting didn't want to go, and as Luo Zhiyong dragged him by the back collar to the alley, he cried out in shock, akin to the wailing of a slaughtered pig, "What are you trying to do? Help! These people want to murder someone…"

Seeing many people looking over, Fang Pingying signaled Luo Zhiyong to stop, then she lowered her voice to Liu Junting,

"Liu Junting, if you're not afraid of dying, go ahead and scream louder, and best call the police. Then we can go to the Police Station and have a talk about just how many women's money you've swindled. Let's see if the Police Station officers will talk to you about evidence then."

"How did you know?" Liu Junting blurted out, realizing his mistake, he quickly changed his tune, "No, when did I ever swindle other women's money?"

Fang Pingying scoffed, "If you're not afraid, go ahead and keep shouting."

Liu Junting dared not make another peep.

He didn't know why, but even though he had only seen Fang Pingying once, it felt like she knew a lot about him. He didn't dare to make a rash move, knowing that if things escalated to the Police Station it would not be pleasant.

Seeing that he fell silent, Fang Pingying let Luo Zhiyong drag him away.

When they reached the alley where there were fewer people, Fang Pingying asked Luo Zhiyong and Luo Honglan to guard the entrance of the alley while she and Fang Xiu walked further in.

At first, Luo Zhiyong disagreed and insisted on following.

But Fang Pingying, considering his status, didn't let him come; she only said that if something happened, she would shout loudly and would never let herself get hurt.

That was when Luo Zhiyong agreed. Content first released on M_VLEM_PYR.

Fang Pingying looked around and noticed there were quite a few wooden sticks in the alley. She picked one up, weighed it in her hand, felt it was sturdy, and nodded in satisfaction.

After that, she raised her stick and struck directly at Liu Junting, hitting wherever she could, with an air of someone determined to beat him to death. In her previous life, she had never gotten this anger out of her system, so she couldn't let this opportunity slip away today.

Liu Junting, in pain, dodged while thinking of fleeing.

Fang Pingying saw through his intentions and pointed at him, "Liu Junting, if you dare run, I'll go straight to the police. Worst comes to worst, I'll blow the lid off your affair with Fang Xiu. Fang Xiu will just lose face, but you will definitely end up in jail."

"Big sister, I..." Fang Xiu was extremely embarrassed, thinking that Fang Pingying would believe that she had just lent money to Liu Junting.

"You've done the deed, why are you acting shy now?" Fang Pingying glanced at Fang Xiu and said, "Such a good opportunity, are you still reluctant to hit this man?"

Only then did Fang Xiu realize, and she immediately picked up a stick and joined in hitting Liu Junting.

After the two women were out of energy from the beating, Liu Junting's face no longer resembled a human face, with some parts swelling enormously and others split open, yet he dared not fight back.

He glared fiercely at Fang Pingying, wishing he could smack her dead with one palm, but with so many people on Fang Pingying's side now, he knew he was no match.

Moreover, Fang Pingying seemed to know his background, which terrified him and made him dare not fight back, thinking it would be better just to endure the beating since he did indeed swindle a significant amount of money from Fang Xiu and also stole money from Fang Pingying's shop.

For someone like him, who relied on his pretty face to deceive women, some of the women weren't afraid to confront him and would naturally come looking for trouble.

But after finding him, those women wouldn't be willing to expose the fact that they had been cheated of their money and affections, so they would just beat him up and call it even. Therefore, getting beaten wasn't new to Liu Junting, and he could take a beating.

Seeing that Fang Pingying and the others stopped, he bit his lip, "Are you done? Can I go now?"

"Wait." Seeing that Liu Junting was about to get up, Fang Pingying didn't let him off just yet, "Hand over our money right now, or I'll still head to the Police Station."

"You..." Liu Junting was on the verge of tears, thinking that the beating would be it, not expecting the money to be returned as well.

"Hurry up, I don't have all day to dawdle with you."

"I don't have that much on me." Liu Junting's hand hesitated into his pocket, wondering whether to take out the money he had on him.

"Take out whatever you have," Fang Pingying urged impatiently, "or I guarantee you'll lose more than just this little bit."

Liu Junting truly had no other choice but to hand over all the money he had on him, which amounted to around fifty or sixty yuan.

Fang Xiu had been swindled out of over a hundred by him, so naturally, she was not willing to let it go and wanted to hit him more.

But Fang Pingying stopped her, they had already taught him enough of a lesson. If they continued, it could become troublesome if something serious happened.

Besides, they had physically assaulted someone, and if it really got to the Police Station, they wouldn't come off easy, especially since Luo Zhiyong was a military man. So they let it be after letting off some steam.

After stopping Fang Xiu, Fang Pingying looked coldly at Liu Junting, "Liu Junting, don't even think about taking revenge on me. I know exactly what you've done, and if you dare, I'll make sure you end up behind bars."

To intimidate Liu Junting, Fang Pingying mentioned some of the scams he had committed and who he had cheated. These were all things Fang Pingying had discovered after being swindled by him in her past life.

Then she continued, "After today, let's consider our past grievances settled. As long as you don't mess with us, I will ignore you even if I see you on the street. But I hope I won't have to see you again."

At that moment, Liu Junting found Fang Pingying to be extremely frightening. She clearly didn't know him yet knew so much about him and recounted it accurately.

He couldn't wait to stay far away from this woman. Seeing that Fang Pingying was willing to let him go, he quickly nodded and ran out of the alley.
