Liu Junbo had already noticed that his brother-in-law was acting strangely, and with Zhou Hongsong and his wife not around, something big must have happened.

He chuckled and pulled Zhao Sufang aside, "Mom, it's almost midnight! How many dumplings should we cook? We haven't counted. Could you come and give us some pointers?"

Li Xiangdong finally breathed a sigh of relief after his son-in-law coaxed Zhao Sufang away.

Ning Ruoruo noticed that Li Xiangdong was in a bad mood, so she followed him out.

The two stood in the yard to get some fresh air.

"Second brother, what happened?"

Li Xiangdong pinched the bridge of his nose and told everything without any concealment.

Ning Ruoruo gasped, "Is he mentally unstable?"

"Yes, I plan to take her to Yanjing for treatment."

Ning Ruoruo remained silent for a long time before saying, "Second Brother, we should call the police."

“Zhao Xiaopei’s parents still hold old-fashioned views and feel that it would be shameful to talk about their daughter losing her innocence.”

The cold wind blew across Ning Ruoruo's bangs, but her voice remained incredibly firm.

"Second brother, if someone insults you, is it the fault of the girl who lost her chastity?"

Shouldn't everyone condemn the criminals?

Is losing one's virginity really that important to a woman?

Li Xiangdong immediately recalled the incident where Ning Ruoruo was almost raped by Liu Baobao and Niu Guang.

He grasped Ning Ruoruo's hand; her hands were delicate and smooth, cool and slender, with a slight, almost imperceptible tremor.

"Ruo Ruo, you're right about everything."

Chastity is not something a woman can possess.

The criminals should be the ones condemned.

You're absolutely right!

A glint of tears flashed in Ning Ruoruo's eyes, and her icy hands slowly warmed up as the warmth from Li Xiangdong's broad palms touched them.

For thousands of years, women who lose their chastity have been told to die, but shouldn't the perpetrators of violence be the ones who die even more?

On the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year in 1984.

Zhou Hongsong, sporting dark circles under his eyes, returned home and first wished his godparents a Happy New Year. Then he said to Li Xiangdong, "Call the police and get him to the hospital!"

Li Xiangjie went home and confessed everything to his father, Li Tang.

Li Xiangdong recounted the whole story to Li Jin.

Li Jin was so angry that he smashed the pipe in his hand in two.

Who is this?!

How dare they do such a beastly thing on the ground of Lijiapo!

"Investigate! We must investigate! We must find out the truth!"

Before he finished speaking, Li Tang picked up Li Xiangjie like a little chick and came over.

He shoved Li Xiangjie in front of Li Jin.

"Sixth Brother, it's all because of this beast I raised that he caused such a huge disaster!"

I just beat that beast half to death at home. What you do with him now, kill him or torture him, it's up to you!

Li Tang's tiger-like eyes were filled with tears.

He never imagined that his son would date twenty-six women in two years!

He was powerless in the provincial capital, and his wife was deaf and blind, so he just let this beast run wild!

Li Jin waved his hand, "We need to find out who did it first! Only then can we give the girl an explanation!"

————

The investigation was conducted very quickly.

First of all, the person on patrol that day happened to be Li Kang.

He frowned and thought carefully for a while, "There were quite a few people who came to the food factory to buy goods in those days. I'll make a list first, and then you can go to the food factory to find the delivery slips and names."

Li Xiangjie is now in charge of shipping, and orders are coming in quickly.

By comparing the two, three people were identified as the most suspicious.
