The car that attempted to hit Xu Keke was quickly found. It was a government vehicle from the Commerce Bureau, and the person who drove it that day was Xiao Da.
During the interrogation of Xiao Da, Li Ningshan followed the clues Xiao Da inadvertently revealed and uncovered a criminal gang.
This gang, headed by Yang Chunjiang, the director of the Commerce Bureau, involved nearly thirty officials. They abused their positions to embezzle and accept bribes. To seize economic benefits, they committed numerous organized crimes, including assault, coercion, intimidation, and extortion, all to appropriate others' property.
Due to the excessive amount of money involved and the great harm caused, the police even dispatched an investigation team to conduct a year-long investigation.
What was most unexpected was that during the investigation, it was revealed that Xiao Da's biological father had been killed by his stepfather in a car accident.
I wonder what Xiao Da will think when he hears this news in prison.
The former director of the Commerce Bureau, Xiao Da's stepfather, and ten other key figures involved in the case were all executed, their property confiscated.
Feng Meijun also participated in the illegal activities and was sentenced to twelve years in prison.
Xiao Da was sentenced to life imprisonment for attempted murder and embezzlement during his tenure as a store manager.
On the same day Xiao Da was arrested, Li Shaojie's verdict was handed down. Three years for bigamy, five years for hooliganism, and with the sentences combined, Li Shaojie was sentenced to eight years in prison.
It was confirmed that Lu Cuihua was indeed deceived into participating in human trafficking. Because of her good attitude in admitting her guilt and reporting some of the people involved in the human trafficking that year, she received a lighter sentence: six months in prison.
According to Fang Minghui, not long after Li Shaojie's accident, Lu Cuihua requested to be discharged from the hospital early.
More than a year later, she came to the hospital again because the pain was particularly severe on cloudy or rainy days. The doctor who treated her, unaware of her condition but knowing that Professor Du had performed her surgery, suggested that Professor Du examine her again. Unexpectedly, she refused outright. It was said that she needed crutches to walk and her condition was very serious.
Xiao Yujie was exempted from punishment because she was diagnosed with mental illness.
Three years later, Xu Keke saw her at the entrance of the store. Xiao Yujie no longer recognized anyone. Her hair was disheveled, and she wasn't dressed neatly. She would hide away in fear whenever someone looked at her. Her hands trembled violently. According to Fan Tao's wife, after Xiao Yujie's condition stabilized, she moved back to the courtyard next door. Somehow, Li Yumei found out and started coming over to bully her. Sometimes she would ask her for money, and if she didn't have any, Li Yumei would beat her.
The neighbors couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to report it to the police, but Xiao Yujie, though mentally impaired, was incredibly stubborn and always stopped them from going. She would curse anyone who suggested going to the police. Eventually, everyone gave up on her.
One time, she didn't know how Li Yumei had bullied her so badly, but she actually picked up a brick and knocked Li Yumei unconscious on the ground.
When the incident occurred, the neighbors immediately called the police.
Neighbors testified that Xiao Yujie's beating of Li Yumei was justified in self-defense, and given Li Yumei's pre-existing mental illness, the police released her. However, after her release, her right hand, which had been holding the brick, began to tremble uncontrollably.
As for Li Yumei, during the investigation, the police discovered that she was still engaged in prostitution, so they detained her directly. I heard that she was later sentenced to three years.
Xu Keke and Fang San got married two years later. The couple were very loving and had a daughter.
Xu Keke translated many famous foreign works, one of which became a bestseller in China. What Xu Keke is most proud of is her journey from an outstanding young teacher to a backbone teacher, and finally to a national model teacher, fulfilling Du Wenting's wish.
Fang Sanze has always run a private enterprise. Because he started early and benefited from favorable policies, his business grew larger and larger, eventually becoming a nationally renowned group company. He has consistently been a major taxpayer in the area.
Fang San is very low-key and rarely attends events. However, the rumors about him are incredibly exaggerated.
Only those familiar with the couple knew that Xu Ke disliked trouble and didn't like being in the public eye. Consequently, Fang San rarely had any photos or videos circulated about him. Fang San had no major flaws, except that, like his father-in-law, he was afraid of his wife.
Du Junsheng and Lin Munan, a married couple, lived to be 84 and 78 years old, respectively, and passed away in the same year.
Du Junsheng saved countless lives, dedicating over sixty years to treating and saving patients. He is hailed as the father of surgery.
Xu Keke herself lived to the age of seventy-three, dying on the same day as Fang San.
Before Xu Keke died, she vaguely saw Du Wenting standing in front of her, wearing a bright red woolen jacket. Her face was haggard, and her hair was dry and yellow. She looked up, and, afraid of startling Xu Keke, pressed her hair down with her hand. But she was a little too slow, and Xu Keke still saw the bloody, mangled patch on her forehead.
Du Wenting died by crashing her head into the tombstone at her parents' graves.
She bowed deeply to Xu Keke, "Thank you for fulfilling all my wishes. You restored our family's reputation and brought joy to my parents for the rest of their lives."
As Du Wenting's figure faded away, Xu Keke closed her eyes.
