Bang bang bang! The pounding on the door made Luo Qin's body react almost reflexively with a shiver, the lingering blush on her face turning ashen in an instant.

"It's okay."

"I'm here."

Wang Dahai wrapped his arms around her shoulders, pulling her into his embrace as he furrowed his brows.

Luo Qin held onto him, shaking violently, and suddenly said, "Dahai, I want to move."

Move house...

Wang Dahai shook his head, "In this kind of situation, moving won't do any good."

Facing a scoundrel like this, moving was useless. The simplest method was to fight fire with fire.

"You go to sleep; I'll go have a look outside."

"Don't."

Luo Qin grabbed his arm, "Don't go, if he sees there's someone in my house, he will..."

"He will what?"

Wang Dahai said with a laugh, "What can he do? At most, he'll go back to the village and spread rumors that you've found yourself a man outside."

"Is that something very shameful for you?"

"You've been single for over a decade, remarrying is only human. Besides, both your father-in-law and mother-in-law have passed, who can stand up and say anything about you?"

Luo Qin pursed her lips and said, "But, it's not good for your reputation."

Wang Dahai was taken aback, then tenderly pinched her cheek, "He doesn't know who I am, what impact could it have? Okay now, you sleep, I'll be right back."

He jumped out of bed, not even bothering to put on clothes, just wearing a pair of boxer shorts as he walked to the door.

Bang bang bang!

The pounding continued outside.

Wang Dahai gripped the doorknob and opened the door.

The hand of the person pounding on the door froze mid-air, a drunken look of confusion on his face.

He stared at Wang Dahai, the confusion turning into puzzlement.

Who is this man?

Where did a man come from in this house?

The man scrambled to his feet, glaring with anger and bellowed, "Who are you?"

"Your dad is who I am!"

Wang Dahai cursed, "And who the hell are you? Barging into my place in the middle of the night, what's your problem?"

"Your house?"

The man craned his neck, trying to look inside, "Where's Luo Qin? Where is Luo Qin?"

Saying this, he attempted to barge into the house.

Wang Dahai met him head-on with a kick to his chest, sending the man flying out of the doorway and sprawling in the corridor.

The kick left him gasping for air, unable to make a sound, clutching his chest for several moments before he could catch his breath.

"You, you..."

"You what you? Breaking into a private home, even if I were to kill you right now, you'd die for nothing!"

Wang Dahai turned back to the room, got his phone, and returned saying, "Don't go anywhere today; we'll head to the station soon and talk this over slowly."

He grabbed the phone and dialed the emergency number.

He had wanted to sort this out earlier, but with one thing and another, it had slipped his mind.

Tonight, with time on his hands, he decided to settle it once and for all, to stop this guy from constantly harassing Luo Qin.

It was manageable with him around, but he couldn't live by Luo Qin's side forever.

What would happen if the man came back later?

He couldn't allow this harassment to continue unchecked.

Seeing that he was calling the police, the man became a bit scared but still retorted defiantly, "Go on, report!"

Then he shouted towards the room, "Luo Qin, come the hell out! Come out here! You've actually got yourself a man, how could you do this to my brother!"

"Smack!"

Wang Dahai slapped him hard across the face and shoved him out the door, "Keep shouting, and I'll kill you!"

The man, furious, wanted to fight back and lunged at him with bared teeth and flailing arms, but before he could get close, he was kicked away again by Wang Dahai.

At that moment, the emergency call connected.

Wang Dahai quickly said a few words and then hung up the phone.

"The police will be here any minute now; if you leave now, you might just make it."

Wang Dahai said this on purpose, mainly because he was afraid the man would actually run away.

But with people like this, the more you provoke them, the more they do the opposite.

Indeed, the man had already been considering retreating, but upon hearing Wang Dahai's words, he immediately became defiant again, "You seduce my cousin's wife, and you still have the face to call the police?"

"Slap!"

Wang Dahai slapped him again, "Watch your mouth."

He then slammed the door shut with a bang.

Bang, bang, bang!

Thinking Wang Dahai had cowered away, the man continued to beat madly on the door.

Wang Dahai returned to the room, grabbed his trousers and shirt, and began dressing while speaking, "I called the police. When they arrive, remember to say that I'm your cousin and came over because he was harassing you."

He had called the police...

Luo Qin knew that things had escalated to a point where they couldn't be resolved amicably.

She had been putting up with it all these years, mainly because his harassment had been just that, without any real action.

Yet, even so, she was finding this level of harassment hard to endure.

She was still young and wanted to remarry.

She didn't want to be seen in this situation by other men she dated.

After all, no one wants to marry a woman who comes with a whole lot of trouble.

Once dressed, they went to the living room.

The banging on the door outside was loud, and Luo Qin sat in the living room, her heart trembling in sync with the pounding.

About ten minutes later, the banging stopped and turned into normal knocking.

"Hello, is the person who called the police, Mr. Wang, at home?" a woman's voice called from outside.

Wang Dahai went to open the door and was immediately struck by what he saw.

Outside, besides that bastard, there were two policemen, a man and a woman.

The female officer who had just spoken seemed to be about twenty-three or twenty-four years old, nearly one meter seventy-five in height, looking both heroic and posessing a uniquely commanding air.

"Hello, I'm the one who called," he said.

"What seems to be the problem?"

Wang Dahai pointed at the man and explained, "He's the cousin of my cousin's husband. My cousin lost her husband early and has since been raising her child alone. This man's family keeps harassing her, demanding she marry him and give him money and the house."

He summarized the situation briefly.

Upon hearing this, both officers frowned.

That was shameless!

But this was at most a domestic dispute, and there wasn't much the police could do about it.

At best, they could offer a stern lecture.

The two policemen looked sternly at the man, "Sir, your actions could be considered looking for trouble and causing a disturbance!"

Wang Dahai thought the man would respond defiantly, but instead, he put on a pitiful face, "Officers, don't just listen to his side of the story. After my cousin passed away, our family has taken great care of his wife. We helped out with money for her child's schooling and took care of her when she was ill."

"Yes, I do want to be with my cousin, but it's because I like her."

"And we're all relatives; it's better for the child if we're together, wouldn't you agree?"

Wang Dahai snorted coldly at this man's ability to twist the truth.

"Li Yougui, you bastard!"

Upon hearing these words, Luo Qin couldn't hold back any longer. She walked over, her eyes red with anger, and pointed at the man, scolding, "After your cousin died, you and your family have been tormenting me and my daughter! If it weren't for my in-laws protecting us, you would have already drained us dry!"

Li Yougui earnestly said, "Cousin, what are you talking about? I really do like you. Come be with me—we're already family, and we know each other so well. I promise, if you agree to be with me, you can manage my salary from now on, and I'll never go against your wishes!"

"Get lost!" Luo Qin was trembling with rage at his shameless words.
