TWWMABMTBH Chapter 83
by VolareWith a “bang,” the Class Monitor’s mother, who hadn’t spoken the whole time, suddenly erupted.
Her palm slammed onto the thin composite tabletop, making a loud noise that brought the tense atmosphere between father and son back to a semblance of calm.
The Class Monitor sat on the sofa, his whole body taut. Across from him, his father’s eyes had also uncontrollably reddened.
How could he not understand what his son was saying?
If he could have gone to his death without any burdens, why would he have endured humiliation and lived a confused, meaningless life back then?
They were all people who had once sought justice and righteousness. If they hadn’t truly reached the end of their rope, who would have been willing to kneel down and personally bury the truth?
Because within that truth, every little detail was intertwined with bloody lives.
Just like Rong Ziyan’s parents, who died without their whole bodies intact. Whether the ashes that were sent back to their hometown were truly complete, even Rong Ziyan, their own son, probably couldn’t tell for sure.
He wasn’t afraid of death, his younger brother wasn’t afraid of death, his wife wasn’t afraid of death, and now his son was willing to sacrifice everything, but what about his wife’s family?
His wife’s parents were already old, his brother-in-law’s career had just started. Would this whole family have to be buried with them as well?
If they won, of course, everyone would be happy, but what if they lost?
It was an unbalanced scale. On both sides of the weights were human lives, whether living or dead.
The Class Monitor’s father closed his eyes, and after a long time, he finally managed to say, “Tell that classmate of yours not to rush either. Let me think about it some more…”
The Class Monitor bit his lip and ultimately didn’t say anything else, instead standing up and going back to his room.
The Class Monitor quickly told Rong Ziyan about his situation.
Rong Ziyan didn’t press him after hearing it.
“I’m sorry, I’ll try to persuade my father. I know his concerns. After all, this matter has nothing to do with my uncle and his family.”
“It’s okay. The Zhou family’s case is too big. Let’s put it off for a while, there’s no need to rush.” Rong Ziyan took the initiative to comfort the Class Monitor before hanging up the phone.
Rong Ziyan had heard some information from the Class Monitor. First, the lawyer back then, the Class Monitor’s uncle, did indeed leave behind some crucial information that could be used as evidence.
Second, his parents’ and uncle’s deaths were indeed inseparable from the Zhou family. No, it should be said that they were directly murdered by the Zhou family.
After all, it had been over ten years. At that time, the internet wasn’t widely used, information relied entirely on television news and newspapers, and even drunk driving wasn’t a criminal offense. It was simply too easy to suppress an accidental car crash.
But now the most important problem was how to obtain this evidence.
Rong Ziyan said it was fine, it didn’t matter, but he was still somewhat anxious in his heart.
The truth was separated by just a thin layer of paper. Even with his usual calm demeanor, he couldn’t avoid this feeling.
But at this moment, Old Wu, who had been listening, interjected, “Sir, if you want the things in that lawyer’s hands, we can go get them for you.”
“What?” Rong Ziyan looked at Old Wu in surprise.
Actually, from the beginning, Rong Ziyan knew that this man wasn’t from the research institute, but someone Boss Fat had sent to help them. Originally, he had thought that Old Wu was Boss Fat’s man, but later, after seeing Ji Shu instructing him, he realized that he was sent by Ji Shu.
But at that time, Rong Ziyan hadn’t thought too much about it. But now, Old Wu’s appearance of being at his beck and call had raised his suspicions.
So, Rong Ziyan couldn’t help asking Old Wu, “Did Ji Shu agree to this?”
“Yes. The boss said, everything is up to you.”
“Why?”
“…”
“Does Ji Shu have a feud with the Zhou family?” Rong Ziyan thought about it, but he still felt that Ji Shu’s string of actions was too abrupt.
Old Wu, seeing that Rong Ziyan didn’t understand at all, blurted out impulsively, “It’s not a feud with the Zhou family, the boss is doing all this for you!”
“!” Rong Ziyan felt a jolt.
For him?
The words had already been spoken, and Old Wu couldn’t help but say what he knew, “I’m not sure either, but you seem to have saved the boss’s life.”
“When?” Rong Ziyan had absolutely no recollection.
Old Wu was silent for a while, then finally said vaguely, “Six years ago, in the county town where you went to high school.”
This time Rong Ziyan was completely stunned because, in his memory, he wasn’t someone who meddled in other people’s business, so how could he have saved Ji Shu?
Besides, with Ji Shu’s good looks, he must have been very handsome when he was younger. If he had really seen him, he would definitely have had a deep impression, so how could he know nothing about it?
Old Wu sighed, “The boss never said exactly how you saved him. But he’s always kept a high school uniform jacket. It should be something that belonged to you. As for the rest, you’ll have to ask him when you see him.”
“…” Rong Ziyan repeatedly tried to recall, and he felt that some things seemed to have been blurred and forgotten by his memory. But the more he thought, the more he couldn’t remember. He decided to put it aside for now.
As for Ji Shu… Rong Ziyan finally decided to talk to him properly after he woke up.
Ji Shu had left almost all of his close confidants by Rong Ziyan’s side, and after deciding to trust Ji Shu, Rong Ziyan agreed to have Old Wu go visit the Class Monitor’s family in his place.
The Zhou family was like a huge mountain that loomed over ordinary people, but it was nothing to a tough character like Ji Shu.
Rong Ziyan understood that Ji Shu’s people stepping forward would be much more effective than his own persuasion. As for Ji Shu’s favor, he would figure out a way to repay it later.
While Rong Ziyan didn’t like owing meaningless favors, he wasn’t inflexible either.
At this time, the Zhou family was also in the midst of a storm.
Old Master Zhou and his confidants had been discussing in the study for a whole day, but in the end, they hadn’t come up with anything.
The day Ji Shu went to the hospital, Zhou Eldest was taken away directly from the Zhou family by the police. As for Zhou Second, that white-eyed wolf, seeing that his two brothers’ situation was not good, actually took most of the cash from the Zhou family’s accounts and went abroad.
But a fool is always a fool. With Ji Shu’s accident, the higher-ups were keeping an eye on their family! Zhou Second’s escape was no different from actively exposing himself, walking right into the net.
He was intercepted and arrested before he even reached customs, and he went to join his two brothers who had gone in before him.
In the blink of an eye, the three Zhou brothers were reunited in prison. And Old Master Zhou of the Zhou family mansion was completely powerless this time. He even had a premonition that the Zhou family was truly done for. Not just the second generation, but also the younger generation, none of them could escape.
Not to mention the Rich Second Generation, who was being exposed online.
The headline was quite sensational: “The Most Arrogant Rich Second Generation.”
The person who wrote this post was a student from the agricultural university. From an outsider’s perspective, he recounted in detail everything that the Rich Second Generation had done in the four years from his entrance to graduation.
There were no judgments in the descriptions, just a simple narration of the events. But it was this extremely calm third-party tone that made people feel the arrogance and wanton behavior of the Rich Second Generation, as well as his wickedness at school.
As soon as he entered the dormitory in his first year, he led campus violence, isolating the top student in their dorm.
In the second half of his freshman year, he maliciously reported the top student, trying to sabotage his chance at a national scholarship.
As for his sophomore year, the despicable things he did were too numerous to count.
The most hateful thing was that in his junior year, he framed the top student, causing him to get involved in a usury scandal and ultimately lose his recommendation for graduate school.
“Holy crap! This is really toxic!”
“His father maliciously poisoned and framed the national hacker, and the son knew how to persecute a future scientific research bigwig while still in school. It’s really rotten to the core.”
“I was in the same class as this Rich Second Generation in high school. He used money to tempt his classmates. Anyone who refused to join in was isolated, even forced to drop out. Don’t ask me how I know, I’m the one who was forced to drop out.”
“Barefoot people are not afraid of those wearing shoes. Now that the Zhou family is in trouble, I’m going to openly kick them when they’re down!”
Who would have thought that aside from the Zhou family, the Rich Second Generation himself was a melon patch of scandals. This post, along with every terrible thing he had done even in elementary school, was being dragged out.
The Zhou family’s toxic feed scandal was not over yet, and the Rich Second Generation had added a brilliant stroke to this notorious family.
After all, if it were just a matter of campus violence, it wouldn’t really be anything. But the key was that the usury case was also involved, which was very difficult to explain.
Rong Ziyan already had some clues in his hands, but at that time, the Zhou family was powerful, and the case had always been suppressed, preventing him from turning it over. Now it was different. Rong Ziyan had Ji Shu as his backing, the higher-ups wanted to deal harshly with the Zhou family, and his grudge with the Rich Second Generation was no longer just a personal matter, but an important piece of evidence to send the Zhou family to the execution ground.
System: Things are finally about to be resolved, are you happy, Host?
Rong Ziyan didn’t speak, his mood was unusually calm.
Outside, Old Wu, whom he hadn’t seen for several days, finally returned. His face didn’t show fatigue, but it was very heavy.
He looked at Rong Ziyan, not knowing what to say for a long time, but his eyes were full of indescribable pity.
“Did you get the evidence?” Rong Ziyan asked in a low voice.
“Yes.” Old Wu took out a thick folder and an old videotape from his bag.
Before handing them to Rong Ziyan, he couldn’t help but advise Rong Ziyan, “Sir, the case from back then will definitely be overturned, please don’t be too sad.”
Rong Ziyan’s heart tightened as he quickly opened the folder. The first photo that came into view was the scene of his parents’ car accident.
The bright red blood dyed the entire photo a glaring color, and Rong Ziyan’s parents, who always had gentle smiles in his memories, had turned into a pile of bloody flesh with unrecognizable faces under the car.
It was never an accident, but a real murder.
No, such a scene couldn’t be described with the word ‘murder,’ but should instead be replaced with the more accurate term… a massacre.
In order to kill the chicken to warn the monkeys, the Zhou family used the most cruel methods to let Rong Ziyan’s parents die tragically in the streets. The tragic screams in the video were the last words left by Rong Ziyan’s parents.
But such horror had become the Zhou family’s biggest leverage to threaten the remaining victims into silence.
More than ten years ago, at the peak of their power, the Zhou family had shown the most unbridled contempt, treating the law as nothing, wantonly oppressing innocent citizens.
