Chapter 20: The Fun Just Begins Now
Chapter 20
"Although Li Man's injuries looked terrifying, they didn't meet the criteria for minor injuries, so she couldn't file a criminal lawsuit against Huang De Han.
At most, he could only be required to compensate her and be detained for fifteen days.
"If you don't intend to divorce him, then sign here and take him back. We also gave him a lesson last night," they said.
"But if you are determined to divorce him, we will cooperate with you. We can provide you with evidence of domestic violence, and you can apply for compensation from the court."
The police officer looked at Li Man and said, "Think it over carefully."
"No need to think about it. I'll go and sign to take him back. Sorry for the trouble, really," Li Man apologized.

The police officer hadn't expected Li Man to change her mind so quickly. After all, she had been shouting about divorce just last night.
However, the police officer didn't react too strongly. He had dealt with many domestic violence cases, and the majority of abused women chose not to divorce. Those who did choose divorce were usually scared and had been beaten repeatedly until they finally woke up and decided to leave.
Looking at Li Man's bruised and swollen face, the police officer couldn't help but remind her, "If he hits you again, run away immediately. Don't confront him head-on. You're a woman, how can you win against a man? In the end, you'll be the one who suffers."
Pausing for a moment, the police officer added, "Or you can write down my phone number. If he hits you again, just call me, and I'll come to your rescue as soon as possible."
The reason the police officer gave his phone number to Li Man was that he knew domestic violence doesn't just happen once; it happens multiple times. Most women only completely give up after being abused numerous times and then choose to divorce their husbands.
Therefore, the police officer was worried that Li Man might be abused again in the future.
"Thank you!" Li Man expressed her gratitude and wrote down the police officer's phone number.
Li Man signed the papers and had Huang De Han released on bail.
Huang De Han couldn't believe it. The woman who had been demanding a divorce and wanted him to go to jail just last night had now released him on bail.
Seeing Huang De Han's puzzled expression, Li Man forced a smile and softly said, "I thought about it all night when I went back home last night. I still can't let go of you, and I can't let go of our daughter either. Husband, I can forgive your affair, but you have to promise me to cut off ties with the other woman."
Li Man knew that Huang De Han wouldn't give up his mistress, and she only said this to avoid arousing his suspicion. After all, if you forgive someone without any conditions, others will suspect that you have ulterior motives and be on guard against you.
Huang De Han's contemptuous gaze fell upon Li Man's bruised face. He knew that this woman couldn't live without him. She had even severed ties with her family, so if she left him, she would have nowhere to go.
Thinking this, Huang De Han looked down upon Li Man even more, and his eyes were filled with disdain.
However, Huang De Han didn't want to divorce Li Man just yet. He didn't say a word and walked straight out of the police station."
Li Man followed Huang De Han out of the police station.
Back at home, Huang De Han took a hot shower and changed into clean clothes before heading out.
Li Man didn't ask where he was going, but instead asked with concern, "Are you coming back for dinner tonight?"
Huang De Han impatiently replied, "No!" Then he warned her, "You better mind your own business. If you want to stay in this house, you need to listen to me and take good care of our daughter."
As Huang De Han put on his shoes and left, Li Man's lips curled into a bloodthirsty smile. The show was just beginning!
