Zhang Li was so angry his chest hurt, stammering: “You… you…”
The man punched him again, sneering: “It’s because you’re an eyesore standing in front of me, making me want to beat someone up.” After saying this, he swaggered away, leaving Zhang Li almost fainting from anger.
The punch wasn’t heavy, but being humiliated like this in front of everyone was incredibly embarrassing. Zhang Li gritted his teeth but decided to swallow his grievance – the other man seemed so arrogant, he might be part of some local organization, and Zhang Li couldn’t afford to offend him.
Zhang Li didn’t dare call the police, and could only check his things while trying to save face, muttering: “These days, you see all kinds of people, randomly smashing someone’s livelihood.”
This statement prompted onlookers to respond:
“How can you say that? If your stall wasn’t set up in such a bad spot, would people get angry?”
“Exactly. Why didn’t he smash anyone else’s stall? Why specifically yours?”
Looks like an outsider, too flashy. I think I’ve seen the guy who smashed the stall before, and he usually has a good temper. He must have been really provoked.”
“Right, this pie seller doesn’t seem like a good person.”
Zhang Li: “…”
He didn’t know that Luo Yingbai had cast a “resentment spell” on him, causing everyone who saw him to speak the same predetermined words for a period of time. Zhang Li just felt like everyone around him had gone crazy.
Not blaming the perpetrator, but instead criticizing the victim for being an eyesore?!
He hadn’t initially planned to report it, but now he was furious. He ran to the nearby police station to file a complaint and coincidentally saw the young man who had warned him about the stall standing at the entrance, playing with his phone.
Zhang Li had always thought Luo Yingbai was a police officer. Excited, he rushed over to explain his situation, hoping the police would help him.
Luo Yingbai didn’t even look up, eyes still on his phone, impatiently saying: “Yeah, I know. Didn’t I already warn you? Your stall got smashed, and now you’re here talking to me about it?”
Zhang Li was on the verge of a breakdown, shouting: “Don’t you police do anything about this kind of thing?!”
