Chapter 5
"Someone's been killed, someone's been killed." Tian Lili rushed out of the door with disheveled hair, crying loudly in the corridor.
"How dare you come out and embarrass me, watch me break your legs!" The man's abusive words followed closely, followed by the sound of punches and kicks.
Neighbors from upstairs and downstairs were attracted and gathered at their doorstep.
I leaned against the door and looked outside through the peephole.
The plump Liu Qiang had his upper body exposed, grabbing Tian Lili's hair and pulling her back while slapping her.
"Where did you hide the money, say it or not, say it or not!" Tian Lili's face was swollen from crying, covered in bruises, and she held onto the railing, shaking her head and refusing to leave.
"You can't gamble anymore, you've lost again and again.
If you gamble at home again, we won't have any money left." "Damn it, shut up.
If it weren't for you always crying and bringing me bad luck, why would I lose? Hurry up and give me the money!" Tian Lili's cries grew louder.
"Help, is there anyone who can help me?" Inside the house, my mother also heard the commotion and hurriedly picked up her phone to call 110.
I turned around and snatched the phone from her hand.
I couldn't forget how last time, after we helped her report to the police, she told the police that it was all a misunderstanding, that they were just fooling around and didn't pay attention to boundaries.
After sending the police away, she turned around and scolded us for why we reported her husband.
Liu Qiang even gestured with a knife, threatening to kill us if we interfered.
"Why did you snatch my phone? Hurry up and help me call the police.
This is a matter of life and death." My mother anxiously stomped her foot.
It's no wonder.
My mother is a kind-hearted person who has always been willing to help others.
She can't stand to see anyone being bullied.
It is because of this that she has been deceived by Tian Lili time and time again.
I decided to make my mother more cautious and called the police with my own phone.
At the same time, I told the operator that I was afraid of retaliation and requested to remain anonymous.
A few minutes later, the sound of the police siren got closer and closer and the police arrived.
