That day, all the unconscious people in the village, as well as those who were not unconscious, were taken away.
In the end, Boss Zhang, Li Fugui after he regained consciousness, and Li San and others all confessed to their crimes and were tried in court. The police followed the clues and cracked down on several human trafficking gangs.
As for the previously mentioned "Li Fugui," due to the lack of real video evidence and Li Fugui's insistence that he was having a nightmare at the time, it was later determined to be Li Fugui's "second personality" and was no longer investigated.
However, all those who have done wrong have contracted a disease called "nightmare syndrome," and the more heinous their crimes, the more severe the condition becomes.
They were afraid to sleep, as they were plagued by nightmares whenever they tried, unless they did good deeds every day and repented for their mistakes in prison.
Otherwise, one will be tormented by conscience.
The doctors examined them but couldn't reach a definitive conclusion, only saying that it was their own conscience punishing them, that they couldn't get out of it.
External media outlets have also reported on this incident, but even viewers watching on television show no sympathy for them.
Because they destroyed many families and girls' lives.
Li Guifen was also arrested for failing to report the crime and illegally appropriating other people's property. Li Dabao was sent to a professional mental hospital. He was the only "clean" person. However, no one noticed that he often stared blankly after entering the hospital and no one knew what he was thinking.
The truth about Xia Yixin's parents' deaths fifteen years ago was revealed, and all the suspects were arrested, including those who left the village later. As for Xia Yixin finding the old savings book under the earthen bed in the old house, selling the house and land, and investing the money in a charity fund, that was something that happened later. The total amount in the savings book was only 100,000 yuan, but this money turned Li Fugui and his gang into monsters.
As for Xia's parents' graves, she moved them to the local county cemetery, completely severing ties with that mountain village.
Justice may be delayed, but it will never fail to arrive.
Dozens of girls who were trafficked were returned to their homes and reunited with their families, and the perpetrators received their due punishment.
The people Zhao Qing hired were also arrested, but unfortunately, Zhao Qing managed to escape, perhaps because she still had the protagonist's halo.
The system explained, "Since the main god hasn't notified her that there's a problem with that line, it means that Zhao Qing's soul may have been replaced by the transmigrated female lead. That girl is a naive and innocent girl, so nothing will happen to her. It's just that she's a little earlier than in the original story."
Xia Yixin had no intention of interfering in the affairs of other story dimensions, so she stopped interfering for the time being.
She realized that she seemed to have really angered Lu Yan.
On her way back, she restarted her phone and, sure enough, received a bunch of missed call notifications. She had turned her phone off earlier to avoid any accidents.
Her previous inquiry to a certain man was met with a blatant reply: "No, wait patiently for me to return and handle it."
Unfortunately, her phone was off at that time...
Then there were the nearly several hundred phone calls he had been making since three days ago.
She felt guilty and ashamed, but she really didn't think that much when she first started the mission, after all, her combat power was unmatched in this world.
Although she was completely right, she still chickened out and sent Su Yan a message: [Help! I made your brother angry, what should I do? Waiting online, it's urgent.]
Su Yan was working on her album at the time, but she replied to her letter very soon.
Subdue him!
Xia Yixin silently gave up on this female lead with such a wild imagination, and instead turned to online searches. In the end, she decided to wait for Lu Yan to return, apologize first, and then explain the situation, after all, she was only doing it for the mission...
This wait lasted a full day and night.
The Zhao family and the Qin family have some connection; they are considered friends.
Although Xia Yixin had toned it down before, she was still quite high-profile and eye-catching. Moreover, Xiao Yunting was a very loyal person, so the matter of "Li Fugui" would inevitably arouse suspicion in Old Master Zhao.
It's not as simple as the official statement suggests.
Lu Yan was in charge of handling the aftermath. He directly confronted Old Master Zhao, saying, "The ones who did it were my men."
Because of Lu Yan's words, Old Master Zhao decided not to investigate any further.
He had watched Lu Yan grow up, and anyone he could protect was definitely not a simple person, especially considering Lu Yan's recent change of surname to "Qin".
Something strange about it.
But the Zhao family is already in a precarious situation and cannot afford to offend the Qin family or Lu Yan.
Therefore, knowing when to play dumb is the only option.
Later, the false accusations against the Zhao family were dropped, and the Zhao family managed to weather the storm. The Wang family, on the other hand, was investigated for falsely accusing others.
Apart from Zhao Jie's low spirits after being rescued, everything seemed to be over.
The capital city.
After dealing with the aftermath, Lu Yan returned to their home in the early hours of the morning. He looked at the slightly ajar bedroom door, hesitated for a moment, and instead of rushing in, poured himself a glass of cold water.
The cool water washed over his dry throat, and the man regained some composure from his anxious state.
The matter is not that difficult to handle.
He took a deep breath. The sweet fragrance in the room indicated that the lady of the house had returned. The scattered coats and shoes, though messy, made him feel that his heart could finally settle down.
He was genuinely anxious, but thanks to the ring, he knew she was safe and sound.
What made him even more anxious was something else.
His eyes darkened slightly as the scene of interrogating K flashed through his mind.
Several dozen hours ago.
Lu Yan accessed the pirated memories.
K is indeed a replica of Lu Yan. Although this pirated version written by a certain author is a poor imitation, it has grown itself because of some of Lu Yan's personality traits.
When the spirit stone shattered, he discovered that he was nothing more than a substitute for others, a pirated version, a product to fulfill the fantasies of others.
Moreover, the fanfiction author recreated Lu Yan without Xia Yixin's intervention to save him—that dark, desperate, and insane man.
In his eyes, everyone was a toy, and life and death were meaningless.
Interestingly, by a twist of fate, he acquired another kind of cheat ability, and through this he discovered the existence of other dimensions. In fact, before he actually took action, he had explored the stories of several dimensions, which he found extremely interesting.
A collection of stories that allow fools to briefly escape reality, those boring and childish tales. Love? Ha, it's nothing but pheromones and deception.
He simply used some tricks to make them fall apart.
However, when Lu Yan tried to delve deeper into what his special ability actually was, he was thwarted.
K is not afraid of death, so the excruciating pain only makes him more insane.
K let out a twisted laugh, "I'll never tell you what it is. This is a game, and it's only just begun. You can't beat us, hahahahahahaha!"
Lu Yan's pupils contracted.
K suddenly exploded while laughing; he committed suicide, his soul scattered.
Lu Yan looked at his empty palm, where golden spiritual energy still swirled, and a suppressed storm raged in his dark eyes.
