TL: Moonlit
Seeing the girl in such a miserable state, both Shen Ye and Ye Ze furrowed their brows.
“I’ll alleviate her pain first.” Shen Ye used a spell.
The girl quickly stopped convulsing and became much calmer.
Shen Ye was about to use another spell to wake her up when he heard someone coming out of the neighboring rooms. He looked over and saw several people with curious and somewhat guarded expressions, observing him and Ye Ze.
“Are you relatives of this girl?” one of the young girls with long hair and black-framed glasses asked.
Shen Ye glanced at her face.
This young girl was a recent college graduate and worked as a white-collar worker. She wasn’t a local resident of Haicheng, and although she had a timid personality, she had a kind heart.
“We are not relatives. I heard the commotion and came to see what was happening and happened to save her.” Shen Ye said, “This man has been continuously beating this woman so viciously that she’s almost dead… With such a commotion, how come no one on this floor came out to intervene? I thought there was nobody here.”
Shen Ye had already noticed some clues from the young girl’s face. He intentionally asked to hear how these people would respond.
The young girl’s face instantly turned somewhat unnatural upon hearing his question.
It was the weekend, and she was on her day off at home. She did hear the couple’s argument outside… no, it should be said it was a case of one-sided domestic violence. However, she had been hiding inside her home and didn’t dare to intervene or call the police.
On the other hand, another middle-aged man from the neighboring apartment replied angrily to Shen Ye, “It’s not that we didn’t care! We did care, but it was useless!”
His wife sighed and said, “This man frequently beats his wife, and we initially tried to intervene. We even called the police, but it didn’t help at all… Moreover, after we called the police that time, he became even more violent, and we didn’t dare to intervene anymore…”
Several other tenants nearby nodded in agreement, “That’s right, it’s not that we don’t want to intervene, it’s just that we can’t.”
Then everyone began discussing the situation.
When they first discovered the domestic violence from the husband, they called the police. The wife was severely injured at that time, with blood even flowing from the back of her head. Because there was evidence, the police naturally had to take action and arrested the husband, detaining him for fifteen days.
But as soon as the husband was released, he intensified his domestic violence towards the wife. Whenever someone tried to intervene, he would threaten them, saying that he would harm whoever tried to stop him or call the police. And the more someone tried to intervene, the more he would physically abuse his wife.
With such an unreasonable and violent person, the neighbors couldn’t do anything about him, and it was certain that people in the surrounding area wouldn’t dare to interfere anymore.
The wife couldn’t bear it anymore and decided to file for divorce.
Both the husband and wife were from the same village, so when the wife proposed divorce, the husband directly threatened her, saying that if she dared to divorce him, he would stab her parents and family to death before committing suicide. Even if the police arrested him, his parents would still kill her parents and family.
In the face of such a perverted and shameless beast, what could the wife do?
During this time, she had been suffering greatly. When she called her parents to discuss divorce, her parents and siblings were afraid of retaliation from the husband’s family and advised her to endure it and not divorce.
However, the husband would beat her every few days, and she couldn’t bear it any longer. She went to the Civil Affairs Bureau to file for divorce. However, the husband didn’t show up, and even though she made the request for divorce, it was ultimately rejected.
When she went to the Civil Affairs Bureau for the first time, the staff saw her bruised and swollen face and sympathized with her. They recommended a lawyer to her.
When the husband learned about this, he went to the law firm and intended to beat up the lawyer. The lawyer immediately called the police, resulting in the husband being detained for a few more days.
But the husband wasn’t afraid of anything. After being released, he continued with his vicious behavior, especially when his wife was determined to get a divorce. He vented all his hatred and anger on her, beating her every day.
Originally, if the wife had followed the lawyer’s guidance, she had a good chance of getting a divorce.
But at that time, the wife discovered that she was pregnant. Her parents and relatives used the reason that the child shouldn’t be born without a father and urged her to endure it.
The husband might have been persuaded by his family or perhaps he wanted the child, but he completely changed his arrogant attitude. He knelt in front of his wife, begged for forgiveness, and even made a written agreement, promising not to beat her anymore and to give all the money he earned to her. He also vowed to treat the child well.
The wife had been bullied by the husband all this time, and now that he suddenly changed his attitude and knelt before her, begging for forgiveness, it was hard not to be moved.
In addition to the pressure from her family, her own salary was not high. If she had a child in the future, she would still have to rely on a man to support them… So, considering all these reasons, the woman eventually withdrew from the divorce lawsuit and decided to live a good life with the man.
But how could the man truly repent? They say a leopard can’t change its spots, once a domestic abuser, always a domestic abuser. Less than half a month after he changed for the better, he reverted to his old ways, drinking and physically assaulting her, almost causing her to miscarry.
This happened the day before yesterday. The woman spent the whole day lying in bed, feeling more and more aggrieved. Yesterday, she went to the Civil Affairs Bureau again, intending to file for divorce.
Unfortunately, the staff at the Civil Affairs Bureau already knew her. Last time when she wanted a divorce, the staff had helped her a lot, even the lawyer charged a very small fee, just to help her escape from the abusive man.
But then the woman changed her mind, and the lawyer was almost beaten by the man. The staff at the Civil Affairs Bureau was also threatened by the man… They felt disheartened that their good intentions were trampled upon.
The staff didn’t directly refuse the woman’s request this time, but they asked her to think it through, whether she really wanted to divorce or not.
The woman was probably confused. The pressure from her family and the child in her womb made it difficult for her to make up her mind. She wanted to have an abortion, but she was afraid that the man would continue to abuse her if he found out… So she sat at the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau yesterday, crying desperately because she felt hopeless and lost, not knowing what to do.
She even thought, maybe it would be better to die together with the child.
To end it all and not have to deal with anything anymore.
If she hadn’t been discovered by Shen Ye the day before yesterday, she might have already committed suicide.
Today, when the man learned that the woman went to the Civil Affairs Bureau to apply for divorce again, he got angry and started beating her, threatening to kill her entire family.
Unable to endure the abuse, the woman kept trying to escape. This made the man even angrier, and he chased her into the corridor, cursing and pinching her neck, trying to push her out of the window.
If Shen Ye and Ye Ze had arrived a few minutes later, the woman would have likely been strangled to death.
After hearing the neighbors’ account, Shen Ye looked at the man’s face and pieced together the sequence of events.
His forehead throbbed with anger, and he rushed over, wanting to give the man a good beating.
Ye Ze held his wrist and said gently, “Don’t get angry.”
Shen Ye took a deep breath. “Uncle, please don’t stop me.”
He had never seen such a disgusting man before. What skill did it take to beat up a woman!
Ye Ze quickly embraced him and softly said, “It’s not that I don’t want you to fight, I just don’t want your hands to get dirty.”
Shen Ye was still angry and muttered, “I’ll wash my hands afterward!”
Ye Ze kissed his lips and whispered in his ear, “I’ll have Zong Yiming take care of it.”
Shen Ye replied, “…Oh.”
Hearing that the man would be dealt with on his behalf, he instantly felt happy.
Then he remembered that he could use talismans to teach this scoundrel a lesson! He had been so enraged earlier that he had forgotten about it.
But now that he was being comforted by Ye Ze, he wasn’t as angry anymore and decided not to act impulsively.
The neighbors sighed, “We really can’t do anything. If we dare to say anything, that man will threaten and attack us.”
“Yes, even if we call the police, it’s no use. They’ll just detain him for a few days and then release him. The police say he only made verbal threats and didn’t actually harm anyone, so they can’t sentence him.”
“It’s a pity for the woman, being pregnant and all…”
In fact, everyone sympathized with the woman who was being abused, but their previous intervention had been ineffective. Instead, it led to the man becoming even more brutal towards his wife. They didn’t dare to intervene anymore.
Shen Ye was reminded that the woman was pregnant, and his gaze immediately fell on her belly.
She had just been brutally beaten by the man, and he didn’t know how the child was doing.
He quickly went to check her condition, and he found signs of a miscarriage.
Without hesitation, he used talismans to help the woman maintain the pregnancy. Although the fetus was saved, he knew he wasn’t an expert in this area, so he thought it would be best to take her to the hospital once the situation calmed down.
The young office lady, seeing Shen Ye using talismans, suddenly brightened up and asked, “Are you Master Shen?”
Her tone was excited, and admiration shone in her eyes. She seemed like a fan.
Shen Ye was a little surprised. He didn’t expect to encounter a fan here.
“Yes, I am.” It wasn’t something to be ashamed of, so Shen Ye didn’t deny it.
“Wow, it’s really you!” The girl became even more excited, her face turning red, and she spoke incoherently, “You must be here to save her, right? You’re such a good person. I didn’t become your fan for nothing!”
As a woman, how could she not sympathize with the abused wife?
When she first discovered that the woman was being abused, she reported it to the police. But the actual situation dealt her a heavy blow. The man found out she had reported it, and he stood outside her door with a knife, threatening to kill her. Blood was flowing on the floor… She had nightmares every night for the following half month and eventually stopped interfering.
But she harbored a deep hatred for this kind of domestic violence and was filled with anger that had nowhere to go.
She even developed a negative mentality, filled with doubts about society and life. Recently, she went for a check-up, and the doctor said she had mild depression.
And now, Shen Ye has arrived.
She is a fan of Shen Ye and, of course, knows that he is the most upright master who cannot tolerate any criminal behavior.
Master Shen is like a divine being who descended from the heavens. Not only can he help the woman who is a victim of domestic violence, but he can also save her soul. At least she will know that there is still sunshine and warmth in this world!
Master Shen Ye and his husband are both extraordinary people. They have saved people from danger time and time again and are real-life heroes.
For some reason, tears suddenly welled up in her eyes.
Shen Ye glanced at her face and understood why she was moved.
He couldn’t help but feel emotional.
It turns out that by helping one person, he can also fill others with hope. That’s a good thing, isn’t it?
He shifted his gaze and looked at the abusive man, saying, “Let’s call the police first and have him arrested.”
Upon hearing his suggestion to call the police, the neighbors immediately objected, “No, we can’t call the police! If he’s detained for a while, he’ll become even more brutal towards his wife when he’s released.”
“Yes, we can’t call the police. In the end, it will be his wife who suffers the most.”
“And this man is a lunatic. All of us will suffer if we get involved!”
Shen Ye furrowed his brows slightly, sensing the fear in the neighbors’ voices. It seemed that this abusive man was even more terrifying than he had imagined.
After a few seconds of contemplation, he untied the talismans on the abusive man’s body.
The abusive man jolted back to his senses and, seeing the neighbors surrounding him, immediately roared, “What are you looking at? I’ll gouge out your eyeballs if you keep staring!”
