Chapter 266: The Threat of Love

Miss Dong continued, “I was so frightened when I woke up that morning . Can you guess how many missed calls I had?”

“How many?”

“More than five hundred!”

“That's too scary!”

“He was calling me on the cell phone all night without closing his eyes, and I didn’t even count the text messages . It was all ‘Answer my calls! Answer my calls’ . My WeChat was all full of his messages as well . He said that for every hour I didn’t answer the phone, he would cut a stroke on his arm . He sent a picture every hour and made  ten full strokes!”

“My God!” Lin Dongxue felt like she was enlightened .

“He's like this . When we argue, he won’t hit me or break things . Instead, he’ll harm himself! Have you ever seen someone who would take pliers and pull out his teeth to throw them at you? He can do this kind of thing . When we don’t argue, he said that he loved me too much and didn't know how to express it, so that was the only way for him . I forgave him many times, but I later understood that he couldn’t change himself . He’s a control freak!”

“Why are you with him then?”

“At first, he chased me very enthusiastically . It was like he would do anything for you . What girl wouldn’t be moved by that?”

“I think people who enthusiastically pursue people have a bit of extremity in their personality!”

“In addition, my family talked about how good his family background was and how good the conditions were . I wasn’t attracted to him at first, but I was gradually moved . ”

“Let me ask you a question . Is your mother your biological mother?”

Miss Dong laughed . “Did my mother look like she wasn’t my biological one? She and my dad met years ago and they have been arguing for decades . They can quarrel over such trivial matters . The things my father likes, my mother doesn’t at all . She would find random things to argue about . My dad loves me a lot, so my mother hated me ever since I was a child, yelling and beating me . ”

“The older generation feels that marriage is just like this and that other marriages aren’t happy either . ”

“Yes, yes!” Miss Dong agreed . “External conditions and family backgrounds aren’t that big of a deal . If two people can get along with each other, that’s what’s important . But my family can never understand that . I once had a boyfriend I really liked before, but because his family background wasn’t that great, my mother advised me to break up with him . She even called a bunch of aunties to persuade me . I cried all night, and then finally broke up with him . . . Miss police officer, do you like anyone?”

“There is one!” Lin Dongxue flushed red at the thought of that person .

“Does your family interfere with that?”

“I'm an orphan . Sometimes I envy people who have parents, but compared to you, I actually feel lucky . ”

“You are really lucky . I actually envy you . ” Miss Dong sighed . “Since that night, he has said everywhere that I cheated on him . He has talked so much about it, turning white into black . Now, the whole world thinks I’ve cheated on him . I don’t actually dare to go home . I’m afraid of what he’d do to me . I've been hiding in my friend's house for the past few days . My biggest worry is my Mimi . I didn't expect this monster to do this kind of thing!”

Lin Dongxue gently patted the back of her hand and said, “Don't be afraid . Give me the key for a while . I’ll go in and persuade him . ”

“But just in case . . . ”

Lin Dongxue showed her credentials . “I'm a criminal police officer . He can't beat me . ”

Miss Dong was still weighing it when Xu Xiaodong sent a WeChat message to Lin Dongxue that read, “Have you watched the breaking-up-cat-man online?”

Lin Dongxue typed “I'm on the scene” and was hesitating whether to send it, but her hand trembled and she hit send .

Xu Xiaodong responded in surprise, “Really? You went to the scene? Has the matter been resolved yet?”

“Nope!”

“Give me the address . I’ll come and join the commotion too . ”

“Don't come over . I'll be back in a while . ”

“Are we friends or what?”

Lin Dongxue didn't bother to respond . After a while, Xu Xiaodong said, “Haha, I found it myself . The bastard on the Internet has already been found by the public . I'll come right away . ”

Lin Dongxue wondered .  What would you even do even if you got here?

There was a commotion outside . Miss Dong went forward and asked, “What's wrong? Is something wrong?”

“Let’s go and see . ”

The two arrived at the community and saw a media car . A reporter stood in front of Ma's apartment with a microphone and was speaking to the camera . “ . . . We are at the scene now . The other party, Miss Dong, has chosen to call the police . Let's interview Police Officer Luo at the scene right now . ”

The camera and the lights turned around and targeted Luo Haifeng next to him . He said awkwardly, “The police came to negotiate one hour ago, but Mr . Ma was unwilling to open the door and we could only talk through the door . I asked him not to be so impulsive as everyone here is an adult . I persuaded him to solve the problem in a rational way…”

Before waiting for Luo Haifeng to finish, the reporter retracted the microphone . “Police Officer Luo, has Mr . Ma violated the law yet?”

Seeing this, Miss Dong hid behind a tree and whispered to Lin Dongxue, “Don't let them see me! I don't want to be interviewed . ”

“Why are there reporters?!” Lin Dongxue was surprised .

The two left the area for the time being . At this time, Xu Xiaodong's car entered the community and he greeted with a smile . “Wow, great! Reporters are here! Have you been on TV yet?”

“No . Hurry up and stop in the middle of the road . ”

“Wait for me . ”

Xu Xiaodong stopped the car and saw Miss Dong . Then, he pretended to say in surprise, “Wow, a beauty . Are you Dongxue's friend?”

“She is the victim, Miss Dong . ” Lin Dongxue introduced, “This is my colleague Xu Xiaodong, a criminal police officer who isn’t too reliable . ”

“Who introduces people like that?”

After listening to Lin Dongxue retell the story, Xu Xiaodong sighed angrily . “How can you kill a cat? Cats are so cute! He’s scum!”

Lin Dongxue said dismissively, “You only have cats in your eyes?”

“I represent a kind of public opinion . Human affairs involving cats is wrong… Did you see him?” 

“No, the door was closed . ”

Miss Dong suddenly said, “Oh no, my bag!”

“It isn’t in the Japanese restaurant, is it?” Lin Dongxue asked .

“Can I trouble you to pick it up with me?”

Lin Dongxue accompanied Miss Dong back to the Japanese restaurant . The bulky waitress handed the bag over and asked, “Looking for this?”

Miss Dong checked it and everything was in the bag . She thanked the waitress and asked if she could have a glass of water .  

Miss Dong took some pills and said, “I'm sorry . My health isn’t good . I can't stay up at night . . . And there are reporters too . I don't want to show my face, and the whole Internet is scolding me as well . ”

“Give me the keys . I'll take care of this and I promise to get you the cat back . ”

Miss Dong took out the key chain and handed it to Lin Dongxue . “Thank you . ”
