Chapter 82 Yes, I heard he looks like a beggar...
That night, Chen Pan talked to his grandfather and Qin Yang for a long time, and they finally went back the next day.
In fact, at this time, Chen Pan was also afraid that Li Chengcai would be found.
But the reservoir was drained, and Li Chengcai's body was never found. Both the Li family and the police issued a missing person notice with a reward, but to this day, no one has found Li Chengcai in the river or ditch.
Then Chen Pan had to wonder if things had really changed. Perhaps she hadn't killed Li Chengcai at all, and he'd managed to escape and go somewhere else. Or perhaps he was indeed gone, but had been washed away into some hidden ditch or passageway, where he couldn't be found for the time being.
Anyway, this matter of theirs is a tangled mess.
First, Li Chengcai kidnapped her, then he tried to kill Chen Pan and then rape her. In the end, Chen Pan didn't let him go, which in a sense was excessive self-defense.
Anyway, at this time, no matter what happened, Chen Pan was no longer panicked.
Taking advantage of the fact that this matter was still hot, Chen Pan quickly asked her grandfather and Qin Yang to go over and take advantage of the hype. She also felt that if they did so, she would be less suspicious in the eyes of others.
Anyway, from the day after she woke up, Qin Yang dragged Grandpa Chen back to Longcheng. As for Chen Pan, his injury wasn't in his leg after all, and Grandma Chen had been here for ten days or so, so she gradually got to know the situation better.
So when they were seriously short of money, both Qin Yang and Grandpa Chen left obediently.
Then from that day on, Chen Pan asked her grandmother to call her grandfather at least once a day to find out about the situation over there.
"As expected, reporters came to interview your grandfather. He followed your instructions and found all the punctured flour, then moved it outside to show the reporters."
"You taught me the line, 'We at Chenji Grain and Oil pay special attention to quality and quality control. We definitely won't repackage this punctured flour and sell it to customers, nor will we use it in our sesame seed bun shop. We'll share it with our employees and donate any leftovers to the local orphanage. We hope they won't mind.' Your grandfather memorized it and repeated it when the reporters and TV station arrived. Later, with the reporters witnessing, he donated over twenty bags of flour to the city orphanage. There's also a nursing home in town, and your grandfather later donated fifteen bags."
"Indeed, reporters from other newspapers have visited our store and Qin Yang's store. As you said, Qin Yang also said that he would definitely help any of his tenants or friends who encountered such a big problem."
"Oh, actually, before your grandfather and Qin Yang went back, someone had already interviewed your second grandmother and great grandfather. They are all smart, and they explained everything they needed to explain without you teaching them. They told those reporters how much of our factory was destroyed by the Li family and how many people were injured by them."
"What? Someone in our family got hurt?" Chen Pan had been relatively calm when she heard the other news. But when she heard that someone in her family was injured, she immediately sat up from the bed like a catapult. Perhaps because she moved too much, Chen Pan felt a sudden pain in the back of her head.
"You kid, why are you so excited?" Seeing that she started to grimace in pain again, Grandma Chen immediately came over with a worried look on her face, and then carefully checked Chen Pan's head wrapped in gauze.
"Grandma, what's going on? Why didn't anyone tell me that someone in the family was injured?" Without paying attention to his own thoughts, Chen Pan immediately reached out and grabbed his grandmother's arm that was stretched out to check on him.
"It wasn't a big deal, actually. A few days before you came here, the Li family couldn't find anyone, so they sent people to our house and company to look for them. We cooperated the first and second times. But when they came the third time, your grandfather told your great-grandfather and the others not to tolerate it. Then, the twenty or so of us and the twenty or so people sent by the Li family all had a big fight outside our house."
Gently pressing down her granddaughter's right hand, which was riddled with needle prickles, Grandma Chen gently pulled the quilt over her. "Don't worry, though. We weren't there that day, and neither were Li Decheng and his family. None of us were actually involved. We were all paid to do the job, and no one was truly desperate. At least the relatives and employees the Li family had arranged weren't that desperate. Seeing how anxious we were, they fought us for a bit, but when the village chief and his family arrived, everyone quickly stopped!"
"That--"
Knowing what she was worried about, Grandma Chen quickly said, "Neither side was seriously injured. Two people hit each other's arms and wrists. The police asked them to apologize to each other and cover each other's medical expenses, and the matter was considered over. Because there were so many people, and with the mediation of the village chief Zhou Xuan, the police did not investigate the matter further. Anyway, after that incident, those people from the Li family didn't dare to rashly come to our factory to cause trouble."
Grandma Chen explained gently. Chen Pan was originally happy that everything was going according to plan. But after learning that his uncle's arm had been broken because of this incident, and a relative of the Li family had his right hand almost crippled by the beating, Chen Pan couldn't help but worry.
As time went by, Chen Pan hoped that the Li family would never find Li Chengcai. But she also strangely hoped that someone would find Li Chengcai, so that this matter would end quickly and give her a good death.
After a while, he thought about the scene where Li Chengcai was discovered and caught by the police.
After a while, he thought about the scene where Li Chengcai was being looked for but the police didn't find anything on his side, and he successfully escaped suspicion.
Then he thought again, maybe Li Chengcai was not really dead, but something happened and he could not appear in front of everyone for the time being.
Then, he imagined what would happen after everything was revealed. He would be taken to prison, sentenced, and executed, and his grandparents, Qin Yang's second grandmother, and great grandfather would all be implicated. Everyone would gather outside his shop and factory, throwing rotten eggs and rotten vegetable leaves at him.
Anyway, during the time he stayed in the hospital to recover, Chen Pan's mood kept fluctuating.
After a while, I was happy that everything developed according to my prediction. As expected, the family business experienced a qualitative leap after being reported in the news and newspapers.
I started having nightmares again. In my nightmares, the police always had new physical and human evidence. I was taken away on the spot, and then I hurt my grandparents, great grandfather, and second grandfather badly.
Because of his fluctuating moods, Chen Pan developed many blisters in his mouth and his physical examinations were repeated over and over again.
Under such circumstances, several responsible doctors did not allow Chen Pan to be discharged from the hospital immediately.
Just when Chen Pan was so anxious that he couldn't sleep well for several nights, on the afternoon of July 20th, Chen Pan received an extremely happy and unbelievable piece of news from his grandmother.
"Panpan, Li Chengcai is back. But on the day he came back, he stabbed his father and his father's mistress. It seems his father secretly had a child without telling them. When Li Chengcai returned home, he happened to find that woman holding the child and bullying his mother. It is said that he picked up a fruit knife on the table and stabbed his father and the mistress without saying a word. And - and the baby who was still breastfeeding was thrown out of the third-floor window of his house by him."
Grandma Chen, clutching a bag of lunch, shouted at Chen Pan as she entered the ward. As she spoke, her face began to reflect Chen Pan's disbelief and dreamlike expression. Then, when Chen Pan realized what she was saying, Grandma Chen's face also displayed a joyful smile that was almost identical to Chen Pan's.
"Is grandma real? Did he really show up alive? Did he really do something like that?" In a situation like this, Chen Pan should have sympathized with her and felt bad for her. But at this moment, Chen Pan just couldn't deceive his true feelings.
At this moment, even though he knew that such a great disaster had happened to the Li family, and even involved a baby, Chen Pan couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth high.
Because as long as Li Chengcai really showed up, according to Chen Pan's guess, he would never be able to tell anyone what happened that day.
If he is really gone, Chen Pan may have committed murder or excessive self-defense.
If the other party is alive and well, this would be a standard case of Li Chengcai kidnapping and attempted rape, and Chen Pan could only be acting in self-defense.
Anyway, at this moment, Chen Pan was certain that someone like Li Chengcai would definitely not tell the police about their affairs and add any other uncertainties to his side.
"Yes, I heard he walked back from the riverbank like a beggar, in rags. He didn't even sit down when he came back. He went upstairs and found his father with a mistress and a child. The mistress seemed to be a young secretary in his father's company. She seemed to be holding the child and trying to persuade his mother to divorce him and leave.
Then, the boy was also very tough. Without even saying a word, he walked into the room, picked up the fruit knife on the table, and stabbed Xiao San in the chest. When his father was startled and hurried over to dissuade him, he did not spare his father and stabbed him in the stomach. When everyone was frightened, he easily lifted the child from Xiao San's arms and threw the child down from the upstairs like throwing a garbage bag.
I heard that his grandparents were pretending to be stupid in their room on the second floor. When they heard the noise upstairs and came up to check, they saw Li Chengcai throwing his own brother down. They rushed down like crazy on the spot. In addition to them, his family also hired a relative to be a nanny in their home, specifically to take care of Li Chengcai's grandparents. I heard that everything was finally spread by the nanny. I heard that Li Decheng, his mistress, and their youngest son are now in the hospital. And Li Chengcai has been arrested and imprisoned by his grandparents after being reported to the police.
Knowing what her granddaughter wanted to hear, Grandma Chen, with an excited expression on her face, immediately sat down next to Chen Pan and spoke unusually loudly.
After hearing everything, Chen Pan, who had been suffering from headaches and toothaches for the past few days, suddenly felt no pain at all.
He subconsciously smiled at his grandmother who was talking incessantly, and then Chen Pan raised his hands to cover his eyes and burst into tears.
Because this time, Chen Pan knew that she had finally gotten rid of that demon completely.
Maybe that’s not entirely correct.
But in the current situation, Chen Pan believed that from now on, she would not have to see him again for at least several years. No matter how rich and well-connected Li Chengcai's father was, he probably wouldn't be able to help him much this time.
