Chapter 446 "Infecting the World" - Male Mother (57)
The two had a long-standing grudge, and the woman must have been dissatisfied with the man's behavior for a very long time.
Starting with that incident last year, or perhaps even earlier, the woman couldn't have been completely unaware of anything amiss.
This feeling gradually accumulated until it finally erupted.
It is a phased process...
The lady of the house wouldn't have become so hysterical and crazy overnight.
But the longer this repression lingers in her heart, the more intense her eventual outburst will be.
What do people do when they are most impulsive, in the most pain, and unable to escape?
It is a possibility that no one else can predict, and even the person involved cannot predict what kind of crazy and terrifying decision they will make under such high pressure.
But most of the time, impulse is just a fleeting moment, and doing certain things is also just a momentary act. Afterwards, there is no room for regret, and no chance to turn back...
Lu Liruan tried to put herself in the shoes of the hostess.
She discovered her husband was a monster, but she couldn't break free.
The personal safety of themselves, their children, and their parents is in danger.
But there's nothing we can do about this person...
As Liao Tingyuan said, there is no other way but to remain vigilant.
Because he was innocent before he hurt you.
But even if he is found guilty and punished after hurting you, what difference does it make?
The harm done to you and your family has already caused irreparable consequences.
Even if he receives the punishment he deserves, so what?
Everything is irreversible...
Lu Liruan couldn't imagine how many days and nights the mistress had spent thinking about how to get rid of this nightmare.
How can I ensure the safety of myself, my family, and my children?
Then she saw the photos on her husband's phone or computer.
Knowing what he had done, at that moment I was just suspicious that he was going to take action and that he might do something terrible, but now I was suddenly certain.
The woman broke down completely...
When Lu Liruan recounted the story, Liao Tingyuan's expression was very solemn.
Both of them felt that helpless, suffocating feeling of being trapped inside.
"Then the lady of the house realized that this was not only her discovery of the master of the house's misdeeds, but also an opportunity!"
Liao Tingyuan followed Lu Liruan's train of thought and continued.
"Yes. This is an opportunity. Instead of her doing it herself, she can let all the conscientious netizens who feel indignant about this matter be the ones to judge her."
Lu Liruan recalled the condemnations and attacks against her by all the righteous people on the internet.
He had nowhere to hide and could not escape punishment...
When he becomes a rat crossing the street, hated by everyone, a cockroach in the sewer, a filthy, stinking sludge.
At this point, everyone knew why they had left him.
The woman herself would get rid of him without being condemned by anyone.
Even her parents, relatives, or anyone who knew about this wouldn't stop her.
On the contrary, they would agree even more.
They also learned about the person's dangerousness, thus increasing their vigilance.
No one will blame themselves or their children; they will be victims in this incident, especially the children, as people tend to sympathize with the weak.
If they knew how the child was treated by his own father and how he was tortured into such a pitiful state, they would feel even more sympathy for him.
Lu Liruan looked up and asked Liao Tingyuan, "Among all the information you've seen online, is there anything about the woman and the child?"
Liao Tingyuan nodded.
But at the time, they didn't pay much attention to it...
Because the male owner's identity information was accurately revealed, and the male owner himself runs a pet hospital and has been interviewed before.
It's not too difficult to know about his family situation.
If someone wants to investigate, they will naturally find out what his family is like.
Knowing some of the details is not surprising.
But now, looking back, all those online comments about the woman and her child were arguing how pitiful they were.
Living under the threat and fear of the male head of the household, especially for the children, will this environment one day have an indelible impact on their psyche?
"Of course, there are also some people who have raised questions," Liao Tingyuan added.
The rapid and widespread dissemination of information is, in fact, a double-edged sword.
When information ferments to a certain extent, different voices will naturally emerge.
For example, regarding the situation between the woman and her child, some people condemned the woman as an irresponsible mother.
It's amazing that she could live alongside someone like the male head of the household for so long without realizing it.
Some people criticized the woman as a coward, believing that she must have known, but even after learning what her husband had done, she still dared not resist and disregarded her children...
The insults were varied and included all sorts of things.
Many people question whether this child will be like his father from the inside out, and whether he will become a scoundrel in society in the future.
"In short, there are all sorts of opinions," Liao Tingyuan concluded.
"But the prevailing sentiment is that this matter will develop as everyone expects." Liao Tingyuan looked at Lu Liruan: "That 'everyone' includes the mistress, right..."
Lu Liruan didn't know if this phrase was appropriate for modern usage, but given her level of education, all she could think of was: "The flaws don't detract from the overall beauty."
Regardless, the woman succeeded in making everyone see her evil deeds.
"Do you really think the woman of the house did it?"
Lu Liruan felt waves of coolness seeping into her body through the gaps in her clothes.
Even now, before stepping into this house today, they both still believe that the male homeowner's revelation of this matter was a coincidence.
Because at the very beginning, Liao Tingyuan carefully and thoroughly sorted out the reasons why this matter occurred.
It's because of these videos, which were originally sold only through certain channels and were specifically purchased by people with this kind of fetish.
It was spread by some arrogant and malicious people, and the original intention was to refute and scare those netizens who suggested protecting small animals.
Those people not only spread the word, but also made rude remarks, saying that they would continue to abuse animals from now on because no one could control them or catch them!
This has aroused public outrage among netizens.
Then, clues were found in these videos: the watch that occasionally peeked out from the top of the man's rubber gloves, and a mole on the inside of his left wrist.
Some people felt like they had seen it before, and then they dug further down the IP address.
There are people who have taken their pets to the male owner's vet for treatment.
Some people even went to the male owner's hospital pretending to treat the animal, and then took photos of the male owner for comparison.
Through various comparisons and subtle clues, the group finally confirmed that the person who abused the animals was the director of the pet hospital!
Then they attacked him en masse.
The situation became even more apparent when the male homeowner neither stood up to refute nor tried to clarify the matter, but instead simply disappeared from the hospital.
There's simply no way to refute it...
Lu Liruan once asked Liao Tingyuan why he didn't stand up and defend himself, or at least offer some excuses.
How could you give up so easily?
In his words, how could he abandon his status, reputation and fame after so many years of success and just run away?
Liao Tingyuan showed some disgust: "People who think they are very smart and are very narcissistic are usually unable to withstand setbacks, have very poor psychological resilience, and experience huge mood swings. They simply don't dare to face reality, and the only way they can think of is to disappear from the public eye."
"They only care about the head, not the butt!"
Lu Liruan summarized in her response.
Liao Tingyuan: ...
"W-what's wrong? Do you think I'm too vulgar?"
"No, I just think it hits the nail on the head." Liao Tingyuan pursed his lips.
If you look at it with the idea that this matter is related to the female homeowner, then...
You can immediately sense that many things suddenly make sense...
For example, why did this matter escalate so quickly?
Because there are people pulling the strings behind the scenes!
Lu Liruan felt that the female homeowner also played a part in the fact that the male homeowner's identity was quickly revealed.
By doing this, she completely exposed the male homeowner, leaving herself with no way out.
Of course she'd be scared!
Lu Liruan thought to herself.
Now even the lady of the house's actions seem reasonable and justified.
She didn't suddenly become hysterical, nor was it because she was frightened by the male homeowner's behavior or suddenly realized that he was a devil.
The root of her fear probably lies in...
"Snitch!"
Lu Liruan and Liao Tingyuan spoke almost in unison.
The only thing that could frighten the woman so much is her fear that the man will figure out she is the culprit, the one who caused him to lose everything!
Thinking about it this way, I completely understand the lady of the house's thoughts.
The male owner has already started harming the small animals, destroying everything he was proud of and narcissistic about!
In the man's eyes, it completely ruined his life...
He has now escaped and will forever be condemned.
He can never work in this industry again, and if even one person discovers what he used to do...
Because on the internet, memories last forever!
He will turn back into the same person again, hated by everyone. Does that mean he can only stay in different places for the rest of his life, and if he is discovered, he will have to move to another place?
But where can he go?
The lady of the house would feel very pleased with herself if she thought that way!
However, the more exhilarated she felt, the more terrified she was.
Just thinking about it made Lu Liruan realize that she herself wouldn't be able to handle such conflicting emotions...
If I were in such a situation, would I have the same planning and decision-making skills as the woman in the house, and would I have the same impulsiveness and courage?
How would I solve this?
Lu Liruan couldn't imagine it.
She turned to Liao Tingyuan and said very seriously, "I think the lady of the house is already a very strong person."
"She not only wants to protect herself, her children, and her family, but also to expose the male homeowner's evil deeds to the public. At least she wants to prevent him from continuing to act with impunity and from becoming a parasite in this industry. She wants to expose more people who love their pets to the risk of their pets being abused by such a sadist."
“Although she seems to be neglecting her child lately, she is a good mother.” This is Lu Liruan’s own opinion.
As Liao Tingyuan originally said, we cannot so arbitrarily judge whether a child's humanity is good or evil.
Similarly, we cannot arbitrarily judge whether a mother loves her child.
As some have said, this mother is weak and does not take responsibility for her child's safety.
But Lu Liruan felt that was not the case at all.
She not only loves her children very much, but she also has a strong sense of social responsibility.
"The knife we found in the shoe cabinet that day," Liao Tingyuan gestured to Lu Liruan.
"It must have been someone from the pet hospital who called her during the day and told her that the male owner showed signs of having returned to his office," Liao Tingyuan analyzed.
Lu Liruan nodded.
At that time, the two of them were wondering if there would be any fluctuations in the space that would alert the mistress to their presence.
It's not because of them, actually.
The woman became even more anxious after learning about the man's situation.
They were worried that the male homeowner would return home after going back to his office.
When will you come back?
Most likely, it was in the dead of night...
She was even prepared to stab the male homeowner without hesitation if he appeared at the door.
At least ensure the safety of the child inside the house.
As for herself?
Lu Liruan felt that she had already disregarded her own safety and whether she would be judged wrong in the future.
Lu Liruan thought to herself about what she had just said.
To determine who is the mastermind behind something, you need to see who ultimately benefits from it.
Because most people won't do things that don't benefit them.
The key to solving a problem lies in understanding where the interests lie...
What are the woman's interests in this matter?
Lu Liruan thought to herself: Her interests are different from the common understanding of interests.
Her interests probably lie in protecting the safety of everyone around her...
She used the most impulsive, sensational, and cathartic method she could think of.
And then she succeeded.
But she must have suffered very serious torment and devastation, both physically and mentally.
Lu Liruan thought of the empty freezer compartment in the home of the woman and her child.
When the woman saw those photos, what did she bear all by herself?
She even emptied her own refrigerator completely.
Is she suspecting that her own refrigerator was also...?
The child has no idea what the mother is going through.
So he felt upset and sad because his mother wouldn't let him buy a second ice cream.
