Revenge of the Wife

Chapter 16

Before Huang De Han could finish speaking, he was scolded by the police officer: "Shut up! You think you're justified in abusing your wife?!"

The police officer looked at Li Man and said, "Tell me, what do you want to do now? Do you want to hold him accountable, or should we just educate him a bit and let him go home?"

Li Man said agitatedly, "I want to hold him criminally accountable. I want a divorce!"

When Huang De Han heard this, his face turned pale from fright. He pleaded, "Isn't this too harsh? After all, I'm still the father of our child. If you put me in jail, our daughter's life will be ruined."

"Our child? Do you even think about our child when you were beating me? Why should I let you off just because of our child? Why should I care about others when I'm the one who got hurt? If you dare to beat me, then I dare to put you in prison!"

Huang De Han did not expect Li Man to be so ruthless. After a moment of silence, he said to the police, "I want a lawyer."

Huang De Han was detained.

The police accompanied Li Man to the hospital to have her injuries appraised.

As soon as she walked into the outpatient building, Li Man caught sight of a tall, vaguely familiar figure.

It was now 12:30 am, and the hospital was very quiet. When Li Man and the others walked in, their footsteps echoed in the spacious lobby.

Huo Jiansheng turned around and saw Li Man with a bruised and swollen face.

And Li Man also saw Huo Jiansheng.

Huo Jiansheng looked at Li Man, then at the police officers next to her. He immediately understood what was going on, a mocking smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

Li Man chose to ignore him and followed the police to get treated.

After getting treated and having her injuries appraised, Li Man went home.

By the time she got home, it was almost 2 am.

Li Man saw the car keys on the coffee table. She picked them up and went to the underground parking garage.

She opened the driving recorder and learned that Huang De Han had spent the past two nights at San'er's place.

Of course, if he didn't go to San'er's, where else could he go?

Li Man wanted to find Huang De Han's workplace from the driving recorder, but she only saw that every morning Huang De Han parked the car in an underground garage of an office building. There were many companies in that building, and she didn't know which company Huang De Han worked at.

These past two days, Huang De Han had been quite unrestrained, wining and dining San'er, going shopping and buying lots of luxury goods for her.

Li Man was so angry she almost ground her teeth into dust.

In all these years of marriage, Huang De Han had never given her any expensive gifts.

Even when they were dating, the only thing Huang De Han gave her was a pendant, which wasn't worth much.

Back then Huang De Han didn't have much money, and Li Man wasn't materialistic either, having been raised wealthy by her parents. So even though Huang De Han never gave her anything valuable, she never complained.

After all, what Li Man valued was Huang De Han as a person, not his money.

After getting married, Li Man stayed home every day taking care of the child and mother-in-law, rarely going out shopping. And even when she did go out shopping, she mostly bought things for her husband and child.

As for Li Man's own clothes and shoes, she only bought end-of-season discounts, because she felt it was unnecessary to spend extra money on new collections just to wear them a few months later.

What difference would it make anyway? After wearing them for a few months, they'd become old collections either way.

Li Man opened the audio recording again.

The first short segment didn't contain anything of value, but Li Man still listened patiently until the end. When she heard the second recording, she shook with anger.
