It's unclear how much time passed before Liu Guangqi and his group of five finally woke up. Liu Guangqi was the first to wake up, and when he did, he discovered that the car was stuck in a tree.
Moreover, the car was already deformed from the impact. Even if it wasn't stuck in the tree branches, it probably wouldn't be able to open the door. Furthermore, Liu Guangqi discovered that he had actually suffered very serious injuries.
Liu Guangqi had tried to save himself, but the driver's cab was already deformed, making it difficult for him to even move. If it weren't for the airbags, he might have died.
While Liu Guangqi was struggling, the others also woke up, and their condition wasn't much better than Liu Guangqi's. All of them were severely injured and unable to open the car doors.
They remained inside the car, desperately trying to figure out a way to escape. No matter what they did, they couldn't get out. All they could do was patiently wait for rescue. If someone discovered they had fallen off the cliff, there might be a chance of survival. Otherwise, they would all starve to death there.
Although these people were not present, things continued to develop outside. The disciplinary committee investigated the contents of the whistleblower letter and found it to be entirely true.
Besides the issues raised in the whistleblower letter, there are many other, even worse things. For example, there is collusion among local officials, and many people have formed a community of shared interests.
In order to break the deadlock as soon as possible, the Discipline Inspection Commission took the lead and, together with the Ministry of Public Security and other departments, immediately launched an operation. However, when the operation was actually launched, it was discovered that Liu Guangqi, the mastermind behind the incident, and several other leaders had disappeared.
This has led relevant departments to suspect Liu Guangqi's methods. Did Liu Guangqi know about the situation in advance and flee with his men?
To prevent more people from fleeing, the authorities immediately launched an operation. First, they arrested all those involved in organized crime and violence. Then they began arresting other individuals involved in the case, taking down anyone who had provided protection to Liu Guangqi or anyone else.
Due to the actions of relevant departments, all of Liu Guangqi's properties were seized, and even his bank accounts were frozen. After two or three years of good fortune, Liu Haizhong and his wife are now back to square one, or even worse off, because Liu Guangqi's assets are all related to organized crime and violence, so all his money has been confiscated.
All Liu Haizhong and his wife could take with them were their personal belongings. Knowing what their son had done, Liu Haizhong and his wife didn't know what to do. In their current situation, they had no choice but to seek refuge with Liu Guangtian and his brothers.
But then they realized they had no idea where Liu Guangtian and his family lived. With no other option, Liu Haizhong and his wife could only beg while asking around for information about Liu Guangtian and his family's whereabouts.
Liu Guangqi and his group were doing alright, but the situation of Jia Zhangshi and Bang Geng was much more complicated. Liu Guangqi's gang had indeed been wiped out in one fell swoop. But Bang Geng and Jia Zhangshi were in such a state that they were simply unable to live on their own.
Although the relevant departments provided some compensation from Liu Guangqi's savings, people with disabilities are simply unable to live alone. Considering their situation, the departments had no choice but to send them to a welfare institution for care.
They weren't the only ones sent to the orphanage; there were others who had suffered similar abuse. Life at the orphanage was poor, but at least they no longer had to beg. And they were no longer subjected to constant mistreatment.
This might be the best ending for others, but it's not a good ending for Jia Zhangshi and Bang Geng. It differs significantly from the original story, especially considering they both suffer from various illnesses.
Although she moved into the orphanage, her injuries could not be healed. Jia Zhangshi would frequently fall in the orphanage, and Bang Geng's body continued to deteriorate.
The culprit behind this incident, Liu Guangqi, was left helpless in the car, crying out for help in vain. If it weren't for the few bottles of water in the car, they would probably have died of thirst long ago, but two bottles of water would only last them four or five days.
They were almost at their last gasp, yet no one had discovered that they had fallen into the valley.
Human nature was fully revealed at this moment. Those who were too hungry to bear it could only eat their companions in the hope of surviving a little longer.
Without enough food and water, they couldn't last long. When one of the women suddenly stabbed Bai Jie with her hairpin, the others followed suit.
Seeing someone stab Bai Jie, another woman turned her attention to Liu Guangqi. Liu Guangqi was the only man among the five, and if she didn't kill him, she would become his prey. Women are naturally weaker than men, and under normal circumstances, she wouldn't be a match for Liu Guangqi. So, the other woman didn't remain idle either, choosing to attack Liu Guangqi as well.
Soon, the five men in the car started fighting. Each wanted to survive, so they had to kill the other. Liu Guangqi was a man, naturally stronger than a woman. Even injured, he fought back fiercely.
Bai Jie, standing nearby, wasn't idle either. In such a crisis, being lenient with others was being cruel to oneself. The five of them were engaged in a heated argument inside the car.
Soon everyone was injured, and now it had come to the point where it was impossible to distinguish friend from foe. Only by killing the others could they get enough food and water, otherwise no one could last two days.
Because all five of them were already injured, the continuous fighting exacerbated their injuries. In the end, none of them managed to kill the other, and each warily watched the others. Due to excessive blood loss, all five fell unconscious around the same time.
Even as they were about to lose consciousness, they still held weapons they could use to attack, glaring menacingly at the others. In the end, the five of them died of thirst inside the vehicle, which wasn't discovered until more than a decade later. By then, they had long since turned to bones.
Liu Haizhong and his wife also found Liu Guangtian and his family. When they saw their two sons' repair shop, tears streamed down their faces.
The couple's life over the years has been neither particularly good nor bad. However, Liu Guangqi has a knack for causing trouble, and the elderly couple always ends up being implicated by him. Now, Liu Guangqi has even become a Class A wanted criminal by the Ministry of Public Security.
Even someone with a screw loose would know that the truly reliable ones were the Liu brothers, while Liu Guangqi was completely unreliable.
Looking at the repair shop in front of them, Liu Haizhong and Gu Chunyan slowly walked inside. Now, besides the two of them, Liu Haizhong really didn't know who else he could turn to for help.
Even knowing that the two brothers might still resent them, Liu Haizhong and Gu Chunyan had no other choice. Hatred is a thing that cannot be explained or defined. Just like how Liu Haizhong used to enjoy beating up the Liu Guangtian brothers, even after so many years, the hatred still remained in their hearts.
It's impossible to resolve the issue, but leaving them alone will inevitably affect their reputation. Now that the two brothers have made money, they directly sent Liu Haizhong and his wife to a nursing home, where they pay monthly fees.
Given the relationship between Liu Guangtian and his brothers and Liu Haizhong, one can't expect them to treat Liu Haizhong and his wife any differently. They only paid the minimum amount and then left them alone.
The more money you pay, the better the service; the less money you pay, the worse the service and environment will be. If they weren't afraid of being criticized, Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu wouldn't even bother with Liu Haizhong and his wife.
Even though Liu Haizhong and his wife went too far, these two were still their children. Aside from paying their monthly dues, they never even glanced at Liu Haizhong and Gu Chunyan.
