The Zhu family in Beichuan City has been having a particularly tough time lately, as has the Cui family. After all, the two families are related by marriage, and the Cui family's business has benefited from the Zhu family's support in the past, as well as providing financial assistance to the Zhu family. Therefore, the two families have intertwined interests.
After Zhu Dechang was placed under investigation, Zhu Dekun was initially only questioned and had not yet been arrested. He continued to hold onto a glimmer of hope, thinking that the Zhu family had built up connections over the years and might get away with it.
However, Zhu Dechang was soon prosecuted for three crimes: forcing women into prostitution, embezzlement and bribery, and disregard for human life. He was sentenced to death, his personal property was confiscated, and he was deprived of his political rights for life.
The Zhu family collapsed in an instant.
At this moment, Cui Li went directly to the Discipline Inspection Commission to expose Zhu Dekun's crimes: marital infidelity and promiscuous relationships. She also provided strong evidence, namely his mistress and son, and even a video of the lovers having sex.
Of course, this is a matter of conduct, and it's not a capital offense; at most, he'll be dismissed from public office.
However, another piece of evidence of embezzlement and bribery was then released. It involved a past engineering project and included not only transfer records but also recorded conversations.
Now, things have gotten much bigger.
For a public official to commit adultery or engage in promiscuous behavior during marriage is a very serious offense.
Zhu Dekun was quickly arrested, stripped of his position, and sentenced to fifteen years in prison.
The two elderly members of the Zhu family fell ill due to anxiety and passed away one after the other not long after.
Zhu Dekun was utterly desperate, because he knew that there was only one person who could produce these things: his wife, Cui Li.
But getting angry or furious won't help.
Before officially starting his sentence, he requested to see Cui Li one last time.
Cui Li then came to see him.
"Ali, why?" Zhu Dekun looked at Cui Li as if he didn't recognize her.
"Zhu Dekun, tell me why?" Cui Li's eyes were icy. "Just because you're unjust doesn't mean I can't be unjust too."
"You ruined me, you ruined this family, you really..."
“This family was already destroyed when you betrayed our marriage,” Cui Li interrupted him. “Zhu Dekun, you destroyed this family and the Zhu family all by yourself.”
Zhu Dekun's face contorted in a grimace.
"I also have some good news for you. After learning about your sentencing, your lover took your son and left Beichuan overnight." Cui Li suddenly smiled. "As far as I know, that Zhu Yiming has nothing to do with you."
"Impossible." Zhu Dekun suddenly stood up.
"Heh." Cui Li pulled a paternity test report out of her bag and threw it in front of the other person. "Look for yourself."
"Impossible!" Zhu Dekun roared.
"Haha." Cui Li laughed. "Zhu Dekun, you don't care about your own children, but you take care of a bastard. There is no one more stupid than you in the world."
Zhu Dekun suddenly plopped down in the chair.
"Believe it or not, it's up to you." Cui Li laughed until tears streamed down her face. "Actually, I was even more stupid. Back then, my parents wanted Cui Na to marry you, but I fell for you and desperately snatched you away. And what happened? I got a heartless wretch! Haha, karma, it's all karma..."
Zhu Dekun's face turned ashen. In fact, he believed it, because if Yiming really was his son, Cui Li would probably have already taken action.
