Sha Zhu was in disbelief at what he was seeing. He rubbed his eyes hard before he could accept it was real.
Sha Zhu's first reaction was to pretend he knew nothing. After all, things are like the weather—if it's going to rain, it'll rain; if a mother wants to remarry, she'll remarry—and there's no stopping those things.
Recently, He Yushui and Liu Guangqi have been getting along very well, which is something everyone can see. If there was nothing between them, Liu Guangqi wouldn't be going to such lengths for his sister.
Just as Sha Zhu was about to close the door, he suddenly noticed something was wrong. His younger sister needed help and looked like she might fall at any moment. Seeing this, Sha Zhu immediately understood what had happened.
Although he didn't get along with He Yushui, they were still like siblings. Sha Zhu grabbed a stick from the side and rushed out.
When Liu Guangqi saw Sha Zhu rush out, he was completely terrified. If others found out about this, he would be shot.
Terrified, Liu Guangqi abandoned He Yushui and ran away as fast as he could, but the courtyard was only so big, where could Liu Guangqi run to? Apart from running outside the courtyard, there was nowhere else to go.
Liu Guangqi tripped and fell as soon as he reached the front yard. Sha Zhu caught up right behind him and started beating Liu Guangqi with a stick.
Why did Liu Guangqi fall? Naturally, it was because Wei Hua had tampered with his plans. If it weren't for Wei Hua, Liu Guangqi's scheme wouldn't have been exposed, and this blunder wouldn't have happened.
Seeing Sha Zhu beating Liu Guangqi, Wei Hua also got out of bed. How could he miss such a wonderful scene?
As Liu Guangqi's screams grew louder, everyone in the courtyard got out of bed, except for Xu Damao, who remained lying in bed.
When Liu Haizhong saw Shazhu beating his son, he immediately rushed over. Shazhu, who wasn't paying attention, was bumped aside by Liu Haizhong.
Even if you don't value your son, he is still Liu Haizhong's son.
"Shazhu, if you don't give me an explanation, I'll send you to the police station. What's wrong with my Guangqi? Why are you beating him like this?"
“So what if I hit him? Even if I beat him to death today, it won’t matter. Don’t you even know what your son has done?”
"This filthy bastard actually drugged my sister. If I hadn't happened to catch him in the act, my sister would have been violated by him by now."
Hearing Sha Zhu's words, everyone understood why he had hit people. They also understood why He Yushui was lying alone on the ground in the courtyard.
"Hua Zi, quickly call the police for me. I will never let this kind of bad person get away with it. Even if He Yushui and I don't get along, she is still my sister. I will never allow this kind of person to live in our yard."
Upon hearing Sha Zhu's words, Wei Hua left the courtyard house immediately. Liu Haizhong and his wife tried to stop him, but Sha Zhu stopped them.
A short while later, Wei Hua brought the police officers back to the courtyard. Once there, the officers began checking on Liu Guangqi and He Yushui.
"Can someone tell us what's going on?"
“Officer, this is what happened. Tonight I accidentally saw someone trying to rape my sister. So I rushed out and beat the man up. As for the rest, you've already seen it. That bastard Liu Guangqi even drugged my sister. She's still lying in the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital, unconscious.”
Upon hearing Sha Zhu's words, the police officers from the local station searched Liu Guangqi and found two packets of powdery substance on him. Although they didn't know exactly what it was, they could guess what it was.
If Sha Zhu had wronged Liu Guangqi, Liu Guangqi would definitely have refuted it, instead of remaining silent like he is now.
Judging from Liu Guangqi's attitude, it was clear that Sha Zhu was probably not lying. Seeing Liu Guangqi sitting on the ground, the police officers from the local station helped him up. Two other officers helped He Yushui to her feet.
Since He Yushui was already unconscious, the police could only send the two of them to the hospital.
Sha Zhu didn't hold back when he beat Liu Guangqi. Liu Guangqi's limbs were already injured by Sha Zhu. Even if Liu Guangqi is to be sentenced, his injuries should be treated first.
Although the main individuals involved were taken to the hospital, the investigation still needed to be conducted. Only after understanding their situation did the remaining officers from the police station leave the courtyard.
From the look in Liu Haizhong's eyes, it was clear that Liu Haizhong had completely come to hate Sha Zhu. Liu Haizhong knew his son was finished. Rape was always a grave crime, and the two packets of medicine found on his son were the best evidence.
Knowing that his son was basically beyond saving, Liu Haizhong didn't bother to visit him, because whether he visited or not, his life would be ruined.
Over the past few years, Liu Haizhong has come to a clear understanding of what kind of person his eldest son really is.
Sha Zhu didn't care about what Liu Haizhong thought at all. As long as he did his job well, Liu Haizhong's tricks were completely irrelevant.
After the police officers left, Sha Zhu took Yu Li back to his room. He also brought his niece over; it wouldn't be good to leave her alone in the room until He Yushui returned.
He Yushui, who was in the hospital, woke up quickly after receiving basic treatment from the doctor.
The test results for those two packets are also in. One packet contained a date rape drug, and the other contained an aphrodisiac.
With the two packets of medicine and Sha Zhu's testimony, Liu Guangqi's case was quickly settled. Liu Guangqi was convicted of attempted rape and sentenced to 10 years in prison.
Considering that Liu Guangqi's limbs had been broken by Sha Zhu, the sentence was suspended for six months. This six-month period was to be used for Liu Guangqi's treatment.
Although they were mentally prepared, Liu Haizhong and his wife still felt somewhat uncomfortable when they learned that their son had been sentenced to 10 years in prison. If even they felt this way, Liu Guangqi himself must have felt even more uncomfortable.
Upon learning his condition, Liu Guangqi cried in bed for an entire day. He couldn't accept not only being sentenced to 10 years, but also being disabled. Only the medical report could truly confirm how ruthless Sha Zhu had been.
Liu Guangqi's limbs were all broken. Even if he recovers, he will be left with some aftereffects. Prisons are extremely harsh places, and his condition will definitely worsen there.
Given his physical condition, there was no chance of improvement; he might even die in prison. Liu Guangqi was now filled with deep regret; he hadn't gained anything and had ended up like this.
But it's too late for regrets now. Looking at the handcuffs on his hands and the guards outside, Liu Guangqi couldn't help but shed tears.
Liu Guangqi has lost all hope for the future. Even if he manages to get out of prison alive, he'll be well into his thirties. Given his current physical condition, whether he'll even survive is another matter entirely.
Liu Guangqi cried himself to sleep. When he woke up again, he was filled with resentment towards his parents because they hadn't come to see him even once the whole time.
If it weren't for her parents, she wouldn't have been framed by Qin Huairu. If she hadn't been framed, she wouldn't have gone to jail, and she could have a completely different life. Maybe she'd be living a wonderful life right now.
Lying alone in the hospital, Liu Guangqi cursed his parents incessantly in his mind, but he couldn't change his fate. This only worsened his mental state, making him increasingly gloomy and resolute, like a venomous snake lurking in the shadows.
