Chapter 7: The Bad Dad and Stepmother's Story Revealed
Liu Xinghe wiped her tears and chased after him with the help of Doctor Liu. Doctor Liu did not forget to carry a long bench out of the house.
It is human nature to love gossip, and Doctor Liu is no exception. She helped Liu Xinghe walk to the steps at the door and put down the bench to sit. She also sat next to him, holding Liu Xinghe's arm to protect her while looking ahead to watch the show. Liu
Xinghe ignored Doctor Liu and continued to act professionally. Tears hung from the corners of her eyes, and she looked ahead worriedly and fearfully.
I really want to give myself a thumbs up. If she hadn't retired or traveled through time, with her acting skills and professionalism, she would have stood firm in the entertainment industry sooner or later, and maybe she could even bring back a little golden man.
It was really lively up ahead. After hearing what was played on the tape, the couple who were defending the case were speechless. They were more panicked than the other, especially Li Xiuhua, who was shouting that it was fake, until her voice became hoarse.
"The voices in here are yours, and you are still defending yourself. I'll play it again for you, listen to it in full, so you can't argue."
Aunt Meihua heard the whole thing, and seeing that they were not convinced, she fiddled with the tape recorder and wanted to play it again.
"Listen, listen carefully, the first voice is Shen Qiang's, and the latter is Li Xiuhua's voice."
"It's not us, no..."
"Shut up, if you make trouble again, I'll arrest you." Director Zhang glared at her and interrupted Li Xiuhua's shouting with a scolding.
Aunt Wang, who was standing nearby, found two rags and stuffed them into the mouths of Li Xiuhua and Shen Qiang.
Shen Qiang had a deep look in his eyes, and said nothing, thinking of a solution in his heart.
"Zizizizi--"
the sound of electricity passed, and the words played out of the tape recorder next were another set of words that made everyone's eyes widen in shock.
[Li Xiuhua, I treat you as a friend..]
[..Friend? Humph...Liu Ruyan, you don't know, your man has been my man for a long time, and the daughter you have raised for more than ten years is also my daughter, haha, after you die, the house, dowry, and job that you are proud of will all be mine, hahaha~]
Everyone present stared at Li Xiuhua, who was lying on the ground in amazement.
"...Zizi..."
The sound of the electric current in the tape recorder has not stopped. After the sound of the electric current, it continues to play, and a weak and uncomfortable voice is heard inside.
[I am Liu Ruyan, I...I am going to die. Shen Qiang and Li Xiuhua poisoned me with mandragora. I...I am worried about my daughter, Xinghe. If you...hear what I said...you must...stay vigilant and seek...the help of the public security comrades. I am afraid...they are crazy and will hurt you...Zizizi——]
After this voice was played, combined with everything that Liu Xinghe is going through now, it is quite convincing.
At this time, the yard was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
I don't know who uttered the curse word, but the whole yard was boiling with people talking and resentful. Some even threw whatever they could get in the yard at the two culprits, cursing as they threw.
"No wonder they cremated the body in a hurry. It turns out that the two bastards are guilty of being thieves. Beat them up."
"You damned immortal board, you chopped off the head when you were unlucky. Two lives are at stake. You are bullying Ruyan's family because there is no one left. I will beat you two bastards to death."
Aunt Wang had a good relationship with Liu Ruyan. When she heard these words, she was furious. She stood up for Liu Ruyan and her daughter, and kept pouring out her Chinese culture. She rolled up her sleeves and ran to the middle to beat, kick, grab and shove the two people.
Others followed suit and started beating them.
"Hey, stop hitting people, stop it, everyone stop it."
The police officers standing by waved their hands for a few times, and shouted a few words casually, and when the situation seemed to be almost over, they went forward to pull people away.
"Alright, everyone stop it."
Director Zhang shouted, and everyone stopped consciously and stood aside obediently, leaving two people with bruises and wounds lying on the ground in the middle of the yard, like dead dogs.
Doctor Liu looked at Liu Xinghe and shook her shaking hands with concern.
There were strings of crystal tears on both sides of Liu Xinghe's cheeks, her eyes were red, her expression was numb, and she stared blankly in the direction of the tape recorder, as if she had been hit too hard.
He murmured softly, "How could it be, how could it be, how could it be like this..."
Doctor Liu shook his head and sighed, what a sin!
Others in the yard also looked at Liu Xinghe with sympathy. His father killed his mother and wanted to kill him. No one could accept it. It was a critical blow to anyone.
Director Zhang was worried that the little girl would be upset, so he walked over to Liu Xinghe, squatted down, and comforted her softly:
"You must take care of yourself. Your mother was most worried about you before she died. For your mother and for yourself, you have to cheer up. Taking care of your body is the most important thing. Leave the rest to us, and we will give you justice."
Hearing this, Liu Xinghe's dull eyes moved to Director Zhang, and then she held her mouth and cried with Director Zhang, crying out of breath, sobbing and choking, saying:
"Comrades from the Public Security Bureau, you...you must give my mother justice. She is such a good person, she shouldn't die with regrets. Ah, sob, sob..."
Liu Xinghe wiped away the tears, turned around and cried with a face full of despair and anger, and rushed towards the two people in the yard:
"One of you is my respected father, and the other is my beloved stepmother. You are also my mother's friend. How dare you, how dare you treat my mother like that? My mother loves you so much, loves your sister so much, and is so good to you. Did your conscience get eaten by dogs? Ah? Give my mother back to me, sob, sob~"
Doctor Liu hugged Liu Xinghe's waist as she rushed forward, and shouted worriedly:
"Calm down, Xinghe, you have to calm down, don't let the wound on your neck open again, you have to take care of yourself and watch the bad guys get the punishment they deserve, we can't let the bad guys succeed."
"Yes, I can't let the bad guys succeed, I have to take care of myself, I can't get into trouble again, I'm the only one left in our Liu family, I have to seek justice for my mother, I have to get better, I can't cry, I can't cry, I have to watch them get punished with a smile."
Liu Xinghe stopped, wiped his tears with his sleeves, forced an ugly smile on his face, and sat back on the bench obediently.
The people around were sad, and some of them couldn't help but wipe their tears.
Seeing that everyone was moved, Liu Xinghe looked straight at Director Zhang with a firm look in his eyes:
"Comrade Public Security, I plead to apply for a newspaper announcement to dissolve the father-daughter relationship. I want them to pay for the murder and the due price. I want justice for my mother so that she can rest in peace in the grave."
Aunt Wang echoed in a sonorous voice:
"Yes, dissolve the father-daughter relationship. Think about Shen Qiang, he was a kid who was almost starving to death. His family was so poor that he had to eat dirt. His stomach was bigger than a cow's belly. If it weren't for the Liu family helping his family, he wouldn't be where he is today. He is an ungrateful person. Xinghe, Aunt Wang supports you to publish the newspaper."
"We all support you."
Old Man Zhang also raised his hand and led others to support her words.
"Thank you, everyone. Thank you. Fortunately, you can help." Liu Xinghe bowed with emotion.
Director Zhang came over and patted Liu Xinghe on the shoulder, "Okay, don't worry, leave it to us."
"Okay."
Liu Xinghe sniffed, his voice full of trust.
