Chapter 56: Retribution will last for eight lifetimes.
Zhu Lan woke up. According to her statement and Wang Jinpeng's confession to the crime, he was fully convicted of attempted murder. He was also charged with the crime of stealing other people's property, so the death penalty was not enough and he would definitely be sentenced to a minimum of ten years in prison.
Wang's parents felt like the sky was falling. They ran around trying to get their son out, but... who would dare to rescue such a beast? They thought Shuiya fell in by himself, but they didn't expect that he was pushed in by Wang Jinpeng.
"I don't dare to save him. What if he comes out and kills someone? He's a murderer! How could I possibly do that?"
"Jin Peng is such a good boy, he didn't do it on purpose." Wang's mother felt the police were completely unreasonable. Jin Peng wouldn't even dare to kill a chicken, so how could he kill someone? "He just gave her a light push. That damn girl lost her balance. How can you blame my son?"
"Then why are you looking for us? Shui Ya was so good to you. She helped with cooking when she was little. She also raised Jin Peng. How could he be so cruel and ruthless? No wonder Shui Ya didn't dare come back all these years!"
The Queen Mother was so embarrassed that she was about to open her mouth to refute but was kicked out. When she returned home and saw her husband sitting in the corridor smoking with cigarette butts all over the floor, she knew that the other party had gained nothing.
"What can we do? We Jin Peng can't go to jail! What a damn unlucky star! If I had known earlier—"
Wang's father immediately threw the cigarette butt over. "What nonsense are you talking about? You're just yelling outside. I'll figure out what to do with Jin Peng. Have you forgotten? We're in-laws."
The Queen Mother didn't really want to contact that family, but now she had asked everyone she could: "Will they... help?"
"If you don't help us, we'll die together! Jin Peng is the root of our Wang family, nothing can happen to him." If his son hadn't confessed too early, he would have let his wife take the blame. Jin Peng also said why he had to do it so quickly. Now it's good, he has to use the last of his family's connections.
"Then... when are you going? Our Jin Peng must be having trouble eating and sleeping in prison, you have to hurry..."
Before Wang's mother could finish her words, a group of hooligans came up with paint buckets. The residential complex where the Wang family lived was an old-fashioned apartment building with a very narrow corridor. The couple blocked the entire corridor while they were standing and talking.
"Old lady, please move aside. I'm doing something."
The Queen Mother immediately became furious: "Who are you calling an old woman? You don't look like a good person. Are you from our neighborhood? Be careful or I'll call the police."
"Call the police? Man, going to the police station is like going home to eat. If you have the guts, try calling the police."
"Brother Chang, this old woman seems to be the family we are collecting debts from. Yes, yes, that's right. That old man is Wang Jinpeng's father. Look, the photos are all here. There is no mistake!"
The leader, Brother Chang, saw this and thought, "What a coincidence! You dare to call the police when you don't pay your debt? You're quite arrogant, old woman."
The Queen Mother was so angry that she almost died: "Who owes a debt and refuses to pay it back? Don't slander me!"
"Look, your son borrowed money from an online loan. Here's 288,000 yuan including principal and interest. It will be a completely different amount in two days. Think about it carefully. You will have to pay it back even if you call the police." Debt collectors like Brother Chang are very familiar with the business. The poorer people are, the more likely they are to borrow money from online loans. If they can't pay it back, the son's debt will have to be repaid by the father.
He has plenty of ways to make these two old guys spit out the coffin money. If they really don't have the coffin money, they still have a house.
"Today, we'll use courtesy before force. We won't use violence, just paint. I'll give you seven days. If you can't come up with the money, we brothers will have a big show in your neighborhood."
The debt collectors came and went quickly, but looking at the red paint on the door that hadn't dried yet, Queen Mother panicked. "How could this happen? Jin Peng is such a good boy, how could he owe so much money? Someone must have tricked him, right?"
When it comes to money, Wang's father's mind becomes clearer: "Evil son! No wonder he doesn't go out to work every day and has so many express deliveries. I thought you gave him money privately, but who knew he actually borrowed so much! Go to the police station and tell them that I want to sever our father-son relationship!"
He gritted his teeth and paid back the 80,000 yuan, but if he had that much money, he would have moved away long ago. How could he still live in this small house?
However, things can only get worse.
As soon as the debt collector left, the lawyer sent by Shen Yuchuan to demand compensation for the suit arrived.
Of course, the lawyer's wording is much more decent, and he won't throw red paint at every turn, but he will directly take out the court summons. As long as the lawsuit is won, the court will directly come forward to execute the property. His client is not short of this little money, he just wants to make things difficult for the couple.
"My client said this suit has special meaning to him. He changed into it specifically to meet his biological sister. Now it's damaged. If you two really don't want to compensate, then please appear in court. The court will give my client justice."
The lawyer didn't stay long, but the old community had very poor soundproofing. Within half a day, the whole community knew that the Wang family had offended someone they shouldn't have offended. They were splashed with paint and received court summonses. It was quite scary.
"Husband, what should we do? This money, we... really have to pay it back?" A suit worth two hundred thousand, how could a damn rich man spend so much money on a piece of clothing, shouldn't such precious clothes be kept as a display?
"What are you returning?! This is all caused by that wicked son. If I had known better and not gone to Zhuzhou, nothing would have happened! It's all because of you, woman, you're so greedy that you insisted on having that house. Now look what's going on..."
The Queen Mother seemed to have realized something. "Yes, we still have that house. The dead girl is in a vegetative state and must not have woken up yet. Let's go to Zhuzhou and sell the dead girl's house. I asked the agent, and that house is not cheap. Including the renovation, it will cost at least one million or eight hundred thousand!"
"How can you sell a house without a property ownership certificate? You're kidding!"
The Queen Mother exclaimed, "I'm selling my daughter's house. What kind of property certificate do I need?"
The father thought the mother was foolish and said, "Go away! I'll go find my in-laws! You've completely disgraced me."
Then, Wang's father left and never came back. Seven days later, the debt collectors came again. Wang's mother hid inside and didn't dare to open the door. The debt collectors just knocked the door down.
"You damn old woman, why don't you come out? It's time to pay back the money."
The Queen Mother was terrified. She called her husband but no one answered. She also called all her relatives, but they all refused to answer. “Please, we are really broke. Please don’t take our things!”
"Who wants this pile of junk in your house? You dare to borrow money when you have no money? I heard that Wang Jinpeng was arrested? He ran away quickly, but the monk can run away, but the temple cannot. Since you can't pay back the money, we have no choice but to occupy the temple."
Brother Chang searched through all the boxes and cabinets for the property certificate, but there was no property certificate there. He asked his younger brother to go to all the pawnshops in the county and ask around. Well, it turned out that the old man surnamed Wang had pawned the house and ran away with the money.
This is really a case of everyone running away when disaster strikes, and they fly so fast.
"Brother Chang, what should we do? This old woman is useless."
"Don't worry, old man Wang won't get far."
Wang's father did not run too far. After all, he could not drive and could only leave by public transportation. Brother Chang, who was collecting the debt, had some connections and quickly caught the man back. Unfortunately, the pawned house was not valuable enough, and with the balance in Wang's father's card, it was still short of 200,000.
"We debt collectors are kind-hearted. All you have to do is pay us a hundred thousand, and we'll take care of the paint on the door." After saying that, Brother Chang realized, "Oh, no, you two probably can't even pay back the money you pawned the house. The house isn't yours anymore. Hey, how come your family only has this little money? You're so broke and still dare to borrow online loans? You've got a son like that, you must be so unlucky."
Brother Chang left with the money in a leisurely manner, and soon after that he received a call from the procuratorate, saying that Wang Jinpeng's case would be going to trial soon.
The two men were struggling, but suddenly they both lost their strength.
It's over, everything is over.
**
Zhu Lan was not present on the day Wang Jinpeng was sentenced. She had just been discharged from the hospital. Even though she had shaved off her long hair for surgery and now had a buzz cut, she couldn't wait to change her ID card and move her household registration.
When she saw Zhu Lan's name on the temporary ID card and her unmarried marital status on the inner page of the household registration book, she felt so relieved.
As for Wang Jinpeng, the law will punish him. Zhu Lan really doesn't want to see this family again, including the small county town that has trapped her for 19 years. She doesn't want to go back at all.
"Congratulations, Zhu Lan."
Zhu Lan looked at it happily for a long time before carefully putting it away: "Thank you."
Shen Yuchuan had already attended Shen Shujing's engagement ceremony. When he returned to Beijing, he found out that the man Shen Shujing was engaged to was indeed from a wealthy family. He was the second son of the chairman of the famous Sino-Ocean Group. He was said to be very capable and had a considerable fortune at a young age. He was also good-looking, but he had a lot of gossip about him, almost catching up with those traffic stars in the entertainment industry.
Because of this, the engagement banquet was held in a particularly grand manner, with all the rich and famous people present. Shen Yuchuan didn't think it was difficult to attend an engagement banquet, but when he actually stepped into the banquet, everyone looked at him with pity.
They thought that the prince didn't dare to come.
Shen Shujing was already in a bad mood, and the appearance of Shen Xi'an had disrupted her plans. She had to adjust her plans. She had already confirmed with her grandfather that her eldest brother would definitely not appear at the engagement ceremony.
But what she didn't expect was that Shen Yuchuan appeared.
“Brother…”
Shen Yuchuan also found it difficult to face Shen Shujing: "Shujing, congratulations on your engagement, do you have anything to say to me?"
What? Shen Shujing was as if facing a formidable enemy: "I... I thought Big Brother didn't want to come back. Grandpa said you had a big temper with him." Even the shares were involved. She had originally thought that the other party was very determined not to come back.
Who knew, that's it?!
She was so angry that she almost died.
Shen Yuchuan couldn't hide his disappointment in his heart: "How could I not come back when you are engaged? You are my biological sister. What happened between me and the old man is just that I am angry. I won't take my anger out on you."
...Please vent your anger on me.
Shen Shujing couldn't kick them out, so she had to adjust her plan immediately. She had to do something today, otherwise -
The engagement party went unexpectedly smoothly.
Not to mention that none of the "accidents" planned by Shen Shujing happened, even Shen Jianghai and his wife were grinning from ear to ear, without any sign of having argued yesterday.
If Chen Xi'an had the acting skills of his parents, he wouldn't have to worry about how to develop in the entertainment industry.
Thus, amidst the peaceful and festive blessings, Shen Shujing's engagement ceremony ended successfully. It even made headlines that day, and the group's stock price rose slightly the next day.
[This sister is such a shrew! They've even teamed up with powerful people and formed a business marriage. It seems like the prince has no chance now.]
[That's right. It's said that the Crown Prince went back and admitted his mistake, but the Crown Princess got married in time and gained a higher voice, and from then on the throne was secure.]
[I saw a certain celebrity whose kidney had been dug out in the corner. He really doesn't look that good...unremarkable. Chairman Shen and his wife are both pretty, as are the prince and princess. He's the only one who seems out of place. How dare he even venture into the entertainment industry? Has he never had appearance anxiety since he was a child? He's truly the ugly child of a capitalist.]
[Maybe it's just my aesthetic taste, but the Crown Princess' succession is the popular choice here. With the second wife's bad apples gone, it looks like the Rongshan Group is on the rise. I heard the chairman and his wife are so in love that they're even planning a 32nd wedding anniversary ceremony.]
[Rich people are just so extravagant, haha. They even have a ceremony for their 32nd anniversary. It turns out that romantic feelings only appear in the homes of the very rich and powerful. I'm so envious. I feel that the princess will be very, very happy in the future.]
…
The happy family and marriage of the person in charge of the group is also a kind of external image of the group. When Shen Shujing knew about it, the group's public relations had already bought hot searches. It was Director Shen's order, everything was for the future of the group.
Shen Shujing was so angry that she really didn't want to inherit Rongshan Group. She even wanted to run away from home like Shen Yuchuan. Who knew... Shen Yuchuan disappeared the next day.
Shen Xi'an was still there, but she had no interest in this stupid man.
Of course, Shen Yuchuan ran away overnight. He was still a little worried about his sister. With Bian Ling's strong personal narrative style, could he really have a smooth conversation with his sister?
But it turned out that his sister was much more resilient than he had imagined. She not only made plans for the future, but even changed her name.
Lan and Ling both have the character "山" (mountain) next to their names, and his name is Yuchuan, so to round it off they are indeed brothers and sisters.
"What do you think of him?" Shen Yuchuan couldn't help but probe cautiously.
Zhu Lan didn't know the inside story and said with a smile: "He is a very nice person. Oh, by the way, what's his name?" Although they added each other on WeChat later, she didn't dare to disturb her younger brother as she always felt that he had a very strong aura.
Shen Yuchuan was stunned: "Didn't he say that?"
Zhu Lan shook her head.
"Then...why not wait for him to tell you himself? His identity is a bit special."
"Ah? A special identity?" Could he really be a gangster?
