Era: Starting with the struggle to refuse being taken advantage of

Chapter 238 Tragic Ending
The matter has come to an end here. Evil people get their just deserts, and they will all receive the punishment they deserve.

But as the crowd began to disperse, Xie Shaohua took the initiative to greet Wang Chengpeng, saying:

"Comrade Wang, you are really amazing, you've managed to fool these self-righteous people completely."

"If you had eliminated them from the start, we probably wouldn't have had the chance to witness such a spectacular show."

I won't admit it, I'd rather die than admit it.

With an awkward laugh, Wang Chengpeng said, "Director Xie, you overestimate me. I don't have that kind of ability."

"To be honest, I didn't want things to come to this point, and I've been giving them chances all along."

"But these people are like dogs biting Lü Dongbin—they don't recognize a kind heart."

"The more I back down, the more they take advantage of me."

"They brought this situation on themselves."

"After all, it wasn't me who begged them to mess around, it wasn't me who begged them to spread rumors, and it wasn't me who begged them to blackmail me."

Seeing that Wang Chengpeng refused to admit it, Xie Shaohua simply shook his head slightly and said:

"Young man, stop trying to be clever. If you're not careful, you could end up in a hopeless situation."

After saying that, he ignored Wang Chengpeng and left with his men.

After Xie Shaohua left, Yue Zhiyong actually took the initiative to greet Wang Chengpeng, saying:
"Comrade Wang, don't worry."

"We will not let any of these people who spread rumors and give false testimony get away with it."

"I knew you were the one who dared to report the case to the police station. Turns out you had such crucial evidence."

"These are the same people who are always looking for trouble. They know they're wrong but don't repent, and they even try to bite back."

"You're right, they've brought this upon themselves."

Yue Zhiyong had a good impression of Wang Chengpeng, a young man who outwitted villains and won a great victory, which is why he took the initiative to greet him.

Wang Chengpeng nodded and greeted Yue Zhiyong, then smiled and said:
“I was just doing what every citizen should do: to expose evil without mercy when it comes to it.”

"On the contrary, I feel a little embarrassed that Comrade Yue and Comrade Wang made this trip."

After exchanging a few pleasantries, the two escorted Shen Wei away from there.

Although there were other prisoners, it was clearly inappropriate for two male police officers to escort them.

However, they had no intention of letting Kong Xiu and Zhou Erhua off the hook. They gave them an ultimatum, demanding that they turn themselves in at the town's police station by the next day.

If they don't cooperate with the work, then their crime is compounded.

Upon hearing such good news, Kong Xiu couldn't hold back and fainted with her eyes rolled back.

She never imagined that simply speaking a few truths would lead to her facing imprisonment again.

At that moment, she desperately hoped that she was just having a nightmare and that everything would return to its most beautiful state when she opened her eyes.

Unfortunately, her dream was destined to remain unfulfilled, and she was about to face at least a year in prison.

Tuesday, Hua's condition improved somewhat; she didn't faint, but her face still looked as pale as if her father had died.

She kept saying things like "I did nothing wrong" and "There must be some misunderstanding," but she couldn't change the fact that she had committed a crime.

Of course, the most miserable ones are Shen Wei and Liu Yanran.

As if he had suffered some great shock, Shen Wei's eyes became noticeably clouded, and he appeared to be in an abnormal mental state.

They could only follow the police officers who were escorting them, moving forward like zombies.

As for Liu Yanran, she was in an even more miserable state. Not only was she covered in all sorts of filth and smelled foul, but she had also been given a death ultimatum.

Her life seemed to be on a countdown, just waiting for the right moment to be shot.

"It shouldn't be like this. Wang Chengpeng should be the one getting shot."

Muttering similar words to herself, Liu Yanran immediately prepared to return to the Shen family home to rest.

But before he could even step into the Shen family's gate, a figure stopped him. It was none other than the head of the Shen family—Shen Dong.

Looking at Liu Yanran, who resembled trash, Shen Dong couldn't hold back any longer and slapped her hard, cursing loudly:

"You jinx, how dare you even step foot in the Shen family's door?"

“I’ve found that nothing good has happened since I married you. Not only did you kick my perfectly healthy son, but you also cheated on me with other people, causing chaos in our Shen family.”

"Get out of here. I don't want to see you again. Take the bastard in your belly and go where you belong."

"You are not welcome in the Shen family!"

With a loud thud, Shen Dong slammed the door shut. He wasn't about to let that piece of trash, Liu Yanran, in.

Looking at the closed door, Liu Yanran remained silent. In the end, she could only walk unsteadily toward the Liu family home, her large pregnant belly protruding.

Perhaps only her family could take her in at a time like this.
After all, no matter how much she messes things up, she is still Liu Dongran and Zhou Erhua's biological daughter.

If it were any other time, and someone encountered a pregnant woman like Liu Yanran who was in trouble and needed help, countless people would have stepped forward to offer assistance.

However, after learning of Liu Yanran's vicious nature, these people avoided her like the plague, and it would be considered merciful if they didn't spit on her twice before leaving.

Watching Liu Yanran leave, Wang Fucheng smiled and said:

"Alright, nephew, now that we've seen the show, it's time for us to head back."

"Who did the Liu and Shen families have to provoke? They dared to provoke you, and now they're getting their comeuppance."

"I even said I would plead for you, but I didn't expect it to be a completely unnecessary action."

"You don't need my help at all. You're more than capable of handling such a small matter."

Wang Fucheng was also somewhat bewildered. He never expected that Wang Chengpeng would turn the tide of what seemed like a sure defeat.

That seemingly simple recording was like a sharp arrow, piercing Liu Yanran's heart and delivering a fatal blow.

I underestimated this seemingly calm young man. How could he fight a battle he wasn't sure of winning?
The reason he seems to have no chance of winning is simply because the others are too stupid to see through his true cards.

Wang Chengpeng was also grateful to his uncle for saving him from this ordeal.

He is capable; he can indeed handle today's situation with ease.

But if he didn't have the recording as evidence, then Wang Fucheng's help might be the trump card that could save his life.

Shan Shan smiled and Wang Chengpeng said, "How could I be so prescient? I just happened to press the record button on the tape recorder."

"I owe this all to my uncle's help; otherwise, I would have almost ended up in jail."

"I underestimated Liu Yanran's abilities after all. I almost let him turn the tables in this situation." "It seems I need to work harder so that I won't feel as lost and helpless as I did today when I encounter similar situations again."

Wang Fucheng: ...? ? ?
You've already caused one death and three jail sentences before you've even tried hard enough. If you had tried a little harder, would these people still be alive?
And you said you felt lost and helpless, but I didn't see that at all from beginning to end.
You're being a little too modest!
Thinking this, Wang Fucheng said somewhat speechlessly, "Nephew, now that things have been settled, it's time to go home."

"Go home as soon as possible. Your father and mother must be worried about you."

Because they lived in a remote area and felt they had done nothing wrong, Wang Tieshan and Liu Chunhua did not gather at the Shen family's door like the others.

They would definitely still be worried about Wang Chengpeng, so he naturally wanted to rush back to let them know he was safe.

After saying goodbye to Wang Fucheng, Wang Chengpeng wasted no time and had Zhu Hong drive him home in a hurry.

Sure enough, even though it was late, Wang Chengpeng still saw his parents anxiously waiting in the yard.

"Dad, Mom, I'm back."

Wang Chengpeng couldn't hold back any longer and shouted from a distance.

Upon hearing Wang Chengpeng's voice, Wang Tieshan seemed to have encountered some kind of pleasant surprise and suddenly stood up.

Seeing that Wang Chengpeng was completely unharmed, he finally breathed a slight sigh of relief and murmured:
"It's good that you're back. It's good that you're back safe and sound."

Wang Meiyan blinked, yawned, and muttered in dissatisfaction:
"You stinky big brother, you finally know how to come back."

"I'm sleepy, I'm going to sleep."

Children need to sleep the most; if it weren't for waiting for Wang Chengpeng, she would have been asleep long ago.

On the other side, Liu Chunhua also breathed a slight sigh of relief and said, "I knew my son would be alright."

"It was clearly Liu Yanran who was in the wrong, but she actually turned around and accused me. It's outrageous."

"Fortunately, justice prevailed and my son was given justice in no time."

At this point, Liu Chunhua paused again and said:

"Son, you left so early this morning, you probably haven't eaten yet."

"There's food left for you in the kitchen, come and eat quickly."

Although Wang Zhong took care of him, it was a police station after all, so it wasn't very convenient. Wang Chengpeng managed to get a free lunch, but he was actually quite hungry by now.

With a smile, Wang Chengpeng said, "Of course nothing will happen to me."

"You all know about the mess between me and Liu Yanran; it's all her fault."

"Mom, you two should get some rest. I'm going to get something to eat; I'm really hungry after being out all day."

What happened today was far more complicated than his parents had imagined, but after thinking about it, Wang Chengpeng decided to keep it a secret.

Anyway, I'm fine, and saying it now would only scare my parents.

Once his parents are sure he is safe and sound, they won't be too worried when they hear about tonight's events from others.

……

Although Liu Yanran's matter seems to have come to an end, the aftershocks have never subsided.

After all, for Wangjia Village, which had been peaceful for a long time, this was an unprecedented major event.

The news had already spread to nearby villages before the night was even over.

Liu Yanran's actions were so outrageous and shocking that everyone who knew about them was stunned.

However, Liu Yanran was still pregnant at the time, and out of humanitarian considerations, even if her crimes were heinous, she could not be executed immediately, nor could she even be imprisoned. She could only be executed outside of prison.

However, this is only a temporary situation. Once Liu Yanran's child is born, she will reap the consequences of her actions.

This unborn child, like a talisman, once again protected her life.

Of course, it wasn't just Liu Yanran who deserved her fate; Shen Wei, Kong Xiu, and Zhou Erhua were also arrested.

Shen Wei could not escape the charge of extortion. With irrefutable evidence, even though it was an attempt, he was sentenced to six months in prison.

Now that he has been sentenced, it's no surprise that Shen Wei has lost his job at the sugar factory.

Let alone a sugar factory, no factory would hire someone with such a tainted reputation as a worker.

Rounding up, Shen Wei's future is now completely ruined.

However, Shen Wei, who had been hit hard and was on the verge of a mental breakdown, certainly wouldn't care about such a trivial matter. He was now acting like a madman, constantly shouting things like "That's my child" and "My wife and I were each other's first time."

In addition, Kong Xiu and Zhou Erhua naturally could not escape legal punishment either.

This was absolutely devastating news for both the Shen and Liu families.

Zhou Erhua was slightly better, after all, he only gave false testimony and spread rumors to slander Wang Chengpeng when Xie Shaohua questioned him.

Although the situation was dire, at least not many people knew about it, and he was ultimately sentenced to six months in prison.

Kong Xiuke is in a bad situation; she has a criminal record and almost went to jail for spreading rumors and slandering Wang Chengpeng.

Less than a month later, and this time the rumors even spread to an entire village, he absolutely cannot escape a defamation charge.

In addition, she was sentenced to two and a half years in prison for blatant perjury and framing Wang Chengpeng.

In this situation, it can be said that Wang Chengpeng essentially wiped out both the Shen and Liu families.

No one thought Wang Chengpeng was cruel; on the contrary, they thought these people deserved what they got.

In particular, Liu Yanran, as the culprit, has become the target of everyone's condemnation.

As long as someone sees her, she'll definitely be spat on. As for the Shen family, she can't go back. They've already treated her like a jinx, so she can only slink back to the Liu family.

Faced with her terrifying daughter, Liu Dongran was also in a state of constant distress.

But Liu Yanran is, after all, her daughter, and the baby in her belly is, after all, her grandson.

Even though he was in great pain, he could only suppress his sorrow and take Liu Yanran in.

Although she barely survived, Liu Yanran's treatment in Wangjia Village, which was surrounded by enemies on all sides, was extremely poor.

The villagers hated her, and naturally they also came to hate her father, Liu Dongran.

This can be seen from Liu Dongran's haggard face. Raising Liu Yanran, a jinx, is something she has to bear.

But after only two days of calm, Liu Yanran became restless again.

That night, she went directly to Liu Dongran and said:

"Dad, you have to find a way to send me to the city."
