72: Chapter 72 It's okay to fall in love, but don't lose your mind.
This scene is practically the year's best ethical action blockbuster.
The audience in the livestream room was dumbfounded.
Isn't this more hype than Boruto?
"They're fighting! They're actually fighting!"
"This father and son really have some moves!"
"Is this the legendary 'father sees son alive, pulls out the Seven Wolves'? No, this is 'son sees father cheating, plucks out a head full of eagles'?"
"I'm dying of 'filial' laughter; what a truly filial son."
Just as the father and son were locked in an inseparable struggle, rolling on the ground and pulling each other's hair,
the instigator, Yuqing, was quietly moving toward the door.
She clutched the Hermes bag tightly, her eyes filled with panic.
If the police came or things blew up, she would be finished.
While these two idiots were brawling, the priority was to run away.
She tiptoed, trying not to make a sound, and was just about to touch the doorknob.
Just then,
Su Yun's voice rang out again like a ghost.
"Zhou Kevin, Zhou Dalong, stop fighting for a second."
"If you keep fighting, the money will be gone."
This sentence worked better than any attempt at mediation.
The father and son scuffling on the ground paused their movements simultaneously.
Su Yun said slowly, "That woman named Gu Yuqing has a cash check in her bag that Zhou Dalong just signed."
"Two hundred thousand."
"That's the breakup fee she just swindled using the excuse of being pregnant."
"Moreover, she's planning to take that money and elope with the fitness coach waiting for her downstairs."
"If you fight for another minute, that two hundred thousand will really become someone else's dowry."
As soon as these words were spoken,
the effect was immediate.
The father and son, who were just fighting tooth and nail and wishing they could kill each other, showed incredible chemistry in an instant.
They didn't even need eye contact.
Zhou Dalong let go of his son's tie and sprang up from the floor with a kip-up.
"Holy shit! My money!"
That's two hundred thousand!
Even for him, it wasn't money that grew on trees.
Spending it on women was for happiness.
But being swindled into eloping with a boy toy? That would make him a total sucker!
Zhou Kevin also reacted.
He couldn't be bothered to stay angry at his father anymore.
This woman not only cheated on him but also swindled his father's money and even wanted to run off with another man?
How could he tolerate this?
"Stop right there!"
"Don't run!"
The father and son shouted in unison.
Immediately after, the two of them lunged toward the door like two bolts of lightning, one from the left and one from the right.
Yuqing had just pulled the door open a crack and hadn't had time to slip out.
Two large hands pressed down on her shoulders at the same time.
"Trying to run?"
Zhou Dalong's face was ferocious, his hair messy like a bird's nest, with several scratches on his face.
"Spit that money back out for me!"
Zhou Kevin wasn't doing much better; his tie was crooked, and his suit was torn.
But he gripped the strap of Yuqing's bag tightly: "Liar! Give me the bag!"
Yuqing scared and screamed, "Help! Assault! Harassment!"
But at this point, no one cared what she was shouting.
Working together, the father and son forcibly dragged her back and pushed her into a chair.
At this moment,
that 'blood is thicker than water' bond and the 'father and son going into battle together' chemistry were displayed to the fullest.
If one ignored the embarrassing wounds on their faces, it was practically a touching scene.
Just then, the private room door was pushed open.
Several security guards and the restaurant manager, hearing the commotion, rushed in frantically.
Seeing the mess on the floor and the three disheveled people, the manager was stunned.
Just how wild were they playing?
"What's going on? Sir, do you need help?"
Zhou Dalong panted heavily, pointing at Yuqing: "Call the police! Call the police for me!"
"This woman is a fraud! She's a habitual offender!"
Su Yun nodded on the other side of the screen: "Indeed, the police should be called."
"And the police are already on their way."
"Just now, that kind-hearted viewer, Enthusiastic Citizen Zhang San, already reported it for you."
"They'll be here in about three minutes."
Hearing that the police were coming, Yuqing slumped completely into the chair, the bag in her hand falling to the floor.
It's over.
Everything is over.
A few minutes later.
The rapid sound of a siren approached from a distance.
Several police officers pushed the door open and entered; seeing the mess in the room, they were also taken aback.
"Who called the police?"
"There's suspected fraud and brawling here; everyone come with us!"
Only now did Zhou Dalong remember to care about his reputation.
He covered his face, trying to hide the scratches, muttering, "Officer, I'm the victim, I'm the victim..."
Zhou Kevin was dejected, like a defeated rooster.
As for Yuqing, even as she was handcuffed, she was still wailing, saying she was wrongly accused.
It wasn't until the police found the check in her bag, along with copies of several different men's ID cards, that she finally shut her mouth.
Watching the three of them being taken away by the police, Su Yun sighed.
This wave sent three people in at once.
But for this father and son, going in to cool off might be a good thing.
At least in the detention center, they wouldn't have to worry about being cheated on again.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for promoting good and punishing evil, exposing a professional fraudster, and preventing property loss. You have gained 50 merit points!]
Only 50 points?
Su Yun curled his lip.
It seems that because this is a family dispute, the evil value isn't high.
But even a mosquito's leg is meat.
These 50 merit points felt a bit heavy to hold.
After all, this was traded for the sacrifice of a pure love warrior's love and an old man's dignity.
The feed in the livestream room was cut off as the phone was confiscated by the police.
The screen went black.
But the bullet comments were still scrolling frantically.
"God Su is awesome! This plot twist gave me whiplash!"
"Online dating requires caution; you might meet your father in person. The ancients truly did not deceive me!"
"After those two go in, will they have to share a cell? How awkward would that be?"
"It's fine, they can use the time to review the details of their fight."
Su Yun switched his own camera back on.
He took a sip of water to moisten his throat, looking at the screen full of "hahaha".
"Alright, everyone stop laughing."
"Even though this is funny, it's also quite tragic."
"This Mr. Zhou has used his personal experience to tell us."
"Dating is fine, just don't lose your mind."
"And."
Su Yun paused, his gaze becoming somewhat profound.
"That Mr. Zhou Dalong also taught us a lesson."
"And that is..."
"If you always walk by the riverside, your shoes are bound to get wet."
"It's not that there's no retribution; the time just hasn't come yet."
"Sometimes retribution comes so fast, and in such a... unique way."
After speaking, Su Yun glanced at the time.
After all that commotion, it was almost ten o'clock.
Although his body had been strengthened, he still felt a bit tired.
Mostly mentally tired.
This evening, first Starlight Media, then a cultivator, then a father-son showdown.
Who could handle all that?
