Chapter 189 Shao Tingan is crazy

The sun was shining brightly as the two walked side by side towards the union hall.

Today's trial scene!

When they arrived, the auditorium was already full of people.

There were Shao Tingan’s relatives and friends, employees of the machinery factory, and some people who came to watch the fun.

They found two empty seats in the corner and sat down silently.

Su Li looked around and saw Shao Tingan's mother, Sun Meijuan.

She was talking in low voices with some relatives, her face showing anxiety and uneasiness.

There was also Director Guo from the machinery factory. He was there too, sitting in the front row with a serious expression.

"quiet!"

With the police's loud shout, the scene suddenly became quiet.

"Here I come."

Liu Hongmei suddenly said in a low voice.

Su Li followed her gaze and saw that the side door of the auditorium opened and two prison guards walked in with a man.

It’s Shao Ting’an.

He was wearing prison clothes, his hair was messy, his beard was unshaven, his face was haggard, and his eyes were dull.

Like a body without a soul.

Su Li couldn't believe her eyes.

Shao Ting'an, who was once full of vigor and arrogance, has come to this day!

The man who had made her love, hate, and suffer was finally going to get the punishment he deserved.

There was a commotion among the crowd.

Many people exclaimed in surprise, unable to believe what they saw.

Shao Ting'an, who was as gentle as jade and polite, has become like this now.

Sun Meijuan even stood up and wanted to rush over, but was held back by the relatives around her.

"Ting'an! My son..."

She cried heart-wrenchingly, her voice hoarse.

The auditorium fell silent instantly.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Shao Ting'an.

He seemed not to hear any sound, nor to see anyone. He just walked mechanically, step by step, towards the judgment seat.

The presiding judge struck the gavel.

The solemn voice echoed in the auditorium.

"The court is now in session."

The sentencing began.

The prosecutor read out the indictment, listing the charges one by one:

Intentional injury.

The crime of abusing power to infringe upon public property.

The crime of instigating others to rape.

…

Every charge was like a sharp knife, stabbing Su Li's heart.

Hearing all this now, she no longer felt any emotion.

Liu Hongmei grabbed Su Li's arm and suddenly laughed softly, "For such a piece of trash, I hated you for ten years. Now it seems it's not worth it."

She stared at Shao Ting'an, her eyes filled with hatred and pleasure.

This man is finally going to pay for the crimes he committed!

Su Li smiled faintly when she heard her words, "Fortunately, I don't like you either."

The presiding judge read out the verdict.

"The defendant, Shao Ting'an, was convicted of intentional injury and sentenced to ten years in prison; convicted of abuse of power and destruction of public property and sentenced to five years in prison; and convicted of inciting rape and sentenced to eight years in prison. The combined sentence for these crimes is 20 years in prison."

Twenty years.

Su Li smiled and said, Justice may be late, but it will never be absent.

Shao Ting'an slowly raised his head, staring blankly at the audience, and suddenly laughed foolishly, "I'm the factory director, call me factory director."

Another burst of laughter followed.

His voice became much louder. "Why aren't you clapping? I'm the factory director. I'll lead you all to make the machinery factory bigger and stronger. Next year's wages will double, and there will be a double bonus at the end of the year. Hurry up and applaud! Why aren't you clapping for such a great factory director?"

Director Guo looked at him and shook his head.

Sun Meijuan burst into tears, "Son, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me!"

She cried and tried to go forward but was stopped by the police.

The police began to maintain order, shouting, "Shao Ting'an, shut up."

Shao Ting'an half lowered his head and knelt on the ground. "Don't arrest me, don't arrest me. I didn't do anything wrong. Su Li wronged me."

Su Li was a little shocked at first. Shao Tingan was actually crazy!

Hearing this, he sneered, "See? Even though he's stupid, he still doesn't forget to push the blame onto others."

Liu Hongmei patted Su Li's arm and said, "Let's go. I'm relieved now that I've seen the joke."

Su Li looked at her and smiled, "Your desire for revenge is still that strong. Not bad, you are worthy of being the Liu Hongmei who will never let go of a grudge."

Liu Hongmei nodded, "Su Li, from today on, Liu Hongmei is back."

Her voice was soft and calm.

It was like after a long storm, calm finally arrived.

They walked out of the auditorium. The sun was shining outside and the peach blossoms on the roadside were in full bloom.

The long-lost sense of relaxation made Su Li smile.

Everything is over. Whether Shao Tingan is crazy or not, he has nothing to do with her anymore.

In fact, in her heart, she has already turned the page and started a new journey in her life.

Past grudges have bound her steps, but now no one can hold her back.

…

The peaceful days seemed a little long. Su Li went to school or the dormitory every day and went home on weekends.

The days are monotonous but fulfilling.

In two months, her first book, "Basic Theory of Literature", was officially completed.

That afternoon, Su Danian had to be taken to the hospital for a follow-up examination. After finishing class in the morning, Su Li prepared to go home.

I'm going to the provincial capital this weekend and have made an appointment with Li Mo to bring the manuscript to show her.

As she reached the gate, the security guard called her, "Teacher Su, don't leave yet. Here is a package for you."

Su Li wondered who would send her a package?

She took the package sent by the uncle and looked through it from front to back. There was only a recipient but no sender.

After expressing her gratitude, Su Li rode her bike home.

I put my things in the room, had lunch, and went to the hospital with my father.

Xu Mingzhe looked at her and nodded slightly, "It's been a long time since we last met. You look good."

Su Li smiled and asked, "How is my dad?"

Xu Mingzhe reviewed the film again and again. "There's nothing wrong now. I'm not feeling any discomfort, so I don't need to follow up with another doctor."

"That's great, thank you!"

Su Danian was delighted and thanked him repeatedly, "Thank you for troubling me, Doctor Xu!"

"Uncle, if you survive a great disaster, you will surely have good fortune in the future!"

"I'll give you my good wishes."

Xu Mingzhe handed the film to Su Danian, "Uncle, pay attention to eating a light diet and don't overwork yourself."

Su Danian responded with a smile, "Now I just eat and sleep at home every day, and I don't feel tired at all."

Su Li took the medical checklist from her father and said, "Dad, let's go. We won't waste Dr. Xu's time."

"Hey, Dr. Xu, come over when you have time. I caught a big carp and braised it for you."

"Thank you, uncle. Can you go get the medicine first? I want to talk to Su Li alone for a few words, okay?"

Su Danian understood and said with a smile, "Sure, of course!"

Watching Su Danian leave, Xu Mingzhe hesitated for a moment before finally speaking, "Fu Jinzhou... won't be back for a while."

Su Li's heart trembled, but her face remained calm.

She looked at Xu Mingzhe quietly, waiting for his next words.

Xu Mingzhe avoided her gaze and said in a low voice, "He has... given up his career as a doctor and now works at the Provincial Finance Bureau."

Su Li's pupils contracted slightly.

Gave up medicine?
