Chapter 1242: A Leap into History

"How the hell is there insufficient evidence? I personally sent those pieces of evidence into the archives; where the hell are they now!"

Ma Weiguo slammed his superior's desk in anger, roaring with bloodshot eyes.

"Old Ma, this matter is no longer under our jurisdiction; don't pursue this case anymore." Ma Weiguo's superior looked at him coldly and said.

Ma Weiguo continued to roar: "If we don't care, who will? Are we just going to let that beast Zhao Yunjie be released like this?"

"That is also following procedure, and it wasn't my decision alone." The superior patted Ma Weiguo on the shoulder and said: "Your current state is no longer suitable for work; I'll give you a few days of paid leave..."

"I don't care for it!"

Ma Weiguo shook off his superior's hand, slammed his service pistol on the table, and turned to slam the door and leave.

At this moment, Ma Weiguo's heart was filled with resentment and sorrow.

A case with ironclad evidence had actually turned into "insufficient evidence" under the operation of Zhao Yunjie's rich and powerful father.

Now all the evidence in the archives and the hospital records were gone; Ma Weiguo didn't know how he could bring Zhao Yunjie to justice.

And Xia Qing also quickly learned from Li Wei that Zhao Yunjie was about to be released.

Then she continued to use the same words as before to humiliate her, calling her shameless.

Xia Qing couldn't understand why Zhao Yunjie could be safe and sound, as if the torture she had suffered those days didn't exist.

This time Xia Qing didn't wrestle with Li Wei, just saying that the one who should feel ashamed wasn't her, but the abusers like Zhao Yunjie and Li Wei.

Lin Sheng stood with Xia Qing and loudly promised that he would definitely send Zhao Yunjie back to prison.

After returning home, Lin Sheng questioned his father why Zhao Yunjie was being released.

Ma Weiguo told Lin Sheng the truth but also guaranteed that he wouldn't let this matter end like this and would definitely give Xia Qing justice.

At this time, Lin Sheng finally understood the importance of evidence.

Arriving at school the next day, Lin Sheng asked Xia Qing if there were any records of the harm Zhao Yunjie had caused her.

Xia Qing recalled for a long time and told Lin Sheng there was evidence: "When he forced me, he used his phone to take many videos and photos, and threatened me that if I dared to tell anyone, he would send these things to the entire school, so there must be evidence left on his phone."

Although they knew there was evidence, the two didn't know where Zhao Yunjie's phone was; it might have already disappeared like the previous evidence.

Lin Sheng thought for a long time and thought that Zhao Yunjie might have uploaded these things to the internet.

Xia Qing also recalled that when she and Zhao Yunjie were still deskmates, she saw Zhao Yunjie open some folders using the school computer room's computer; the folder names were very strange, and perhaps the criminal evidence was hidden in there.

Since Zhao Yunjie had logged in on the school network, recovering the data wasn't a difficult task.

Lin Sheng quickly contacted his father; after Ma Weiguo got the news, he immediately called his good friend and technician, Xu Qian.

The data recovery work began, and at the same time, Zhao Yunjie was released.

In order not to let Zhao Yunjie notice their actions, Ma Weiguo risked losing his job to go and find trouble with Zhao Yunjie to stall for time.

And on Lin Sheng's side, he also quickly entered Zhao Yunjie's account and saw the files he had uploaded to his email.

There were many folders named after girls, but most of them were already empty folders.

Quickly scrolling to the bottom, Lin Sheng saw a folder called 【Crab Xia Qing】.

He eagerly wanted to click in to confirm if there was evidence, and Xia Qing also shouted "Wait a moment" at this moment.

The folder opened, and the content inside made Lin Sheng petrified on the spot.

I don't know how long it had been, but Lin Sheng's tears burst out, and he collapsed to the ground like a helpless child.

He hated himself; he hated that he hadn't been able to meet Xia Qing at the very beginning to stop the harm she had suffered.

He hated why fate was so cruel, and hated the beast Zhao Yunjie even more.

"Don't cry." Xia Qing gently wiped the tears from the boy's face, comforting him with a smile.

The rebellious boy was crying bitterly and humbly, while the weak girl was so strong.

Everything was so beautiful, yet so heartbreaking.

However, the bad news didn't stop; Aunt Xu told them that the files in this email couldn't be downloaded, only sent, and they were also set with a target for sending.

She took a look; it was the chat groups for every class.

Just as Zhao Yunjie had threatened Xia Qing, he indeed had the ability to let the whole school know about this.

The situation suddenly entered a dilemma.

If they didn't send the files, they couldn't get the evidence to bring Zhao Yunjie to justice.

But if they sent them out, Xia Qing would face true social death.

Lin Sheng wanted to take a picture with his phone, but the resolution was too poor, blurry, and couldn't be used as evidence at all.

Xu Qian had left in a hurry and, not daring to attract her superior's attention, hadn't brought professional equipment.

Ma Weiguo sent a message asking how the progress was; Zhao Yunjie was already suspicious.

If they didn't act, this only piece of evidence would soon disappear.

Lin Sheng looked up at her and said: "No matter what choice you make, I will always support you."

"Do you remember that sentence I told Li Wei before?" Xia Qing smiled, her clear and beautiful eyes carrying three parts sorrow and seven parts determination: "The one who should feel ashamed isn't me, but Xu Yunjie."

Saying this, Xia Qing gripped the mouse and slowly moved it toward the send button.

At this time, the class bell rang.

"Wait!" Lin Sheng suddenly shouted, "Maybe there's a better way; give me three minutes!"

Without waiting for Xia Qing to ask, Lin Sheng rushed out of the computer room and ran to the broadcasting room right next door.

He was like an enraged lion, telling the broadcasting teacher to stop playing the bell; he had something to say.

Quickly, Lin Sheng took control of the broadcasting room.

The bell stopped abruptly, and he said loudly: "Teachers, students, can you hear me?"

The students and teachers in the classrooms all looked at the broadcast curiously, thinking it was some leader who wanted to speak, so they all quieted down.

"I believe everyone has heard more or less about Xia Qing's matter these days............"

Next, Lin Sheng told everyone about the dilemma Xia Qing was currently facing.

"So I implore everyone, please turn off your phones for a while and don't let Xia Qing be hurt again; I, Lin Sheng, will be a beast of burden for the rest of my life... I'll kowtow to you!"

The unlearned boy didn't know what kind of promise to make, so he could only forcefully hit his head against the table, making a loud thumping sound.

Soon, Xia Qing saw that almost all her good friends in the class had sent her a "cheer up," and then one after another, they went offline.

At this moment, Xia Qing finally felt the long-lost warmth and began to cry with emotion.

"The only devices still connected to the internet are my phone and yours." Xu Qian said excitedly.

Hearing this, Xia Qing clicked send.

After downloading and backing up the files, Xu Qian immediately clicked recall.

The evidence was in hand; after receiving this good news, Ma Weiguo immediately arrested Zhao Yunjie.

And at this time, he had only been out of prison for less than an hour.

To ensure nothing went wrong, Ma Weiguo also contacted a higher level to conduct an investigation and trial, while also reporting his superior.

Because the nature of the case was too egregious and involved multiple victims, it attracted widespread attention from all walks of life.

This time Zhao Yunjie could no longer escape the sanctions of the law, and his father, Zhao Yongfa, was also implicated and investigated because of this matter.

Many people thought the story ended here.

And Xia Qing came to the seaside alone at night, took off her shoes, stepped on the waves with bare feet, and walked toward the pitch-black ocean.

The background music started, mournful and pleading, as if declaring the girl's sorrowful fate to the audience.

Finally, the ocean swallowed the girl.

In the cinema, "Don't!" and uncontrollable sobbing sounds rose one after another.

However, after a few seconds, Xia Qing floated up again; she took a deep breath, wiped the seawater from her face, as if she had gained a new life.

Those pains were all in the past, and next, she should start a new life.

Returning to the shore, Xia Qing was just about to go home when it suddenly started to rain heavily.

In the heavy rain, Xia Qing heard her name.

It was Lin Sheng's voice, and Xia Qing immediately responded loudly.

The two soon met in the rain; Xia Qing asked him why he came out, and Lin Sheng said he didn't know why, he just wanted to see her.

Xia Qing smiled and dragged him into a cave to hide from the rain.

Outside the cave, the storm raged and the wind wailed; the two sat opposite each other in the cave, not knowing what to say for a while.

The boy's eyes looked at the girl from time to time, and the atmosphere gradually became amorous.

Water droplets dripped from her body onto the ground, and the soaked white short-sleeved shirt outlined Xia Qing's beautiful body into a rosebud waiting to bloom.

In the center of the rose petals was Xia Qing's beautiful face, white with a hint of red.

The tangled hair stuck tightly to her wet, rosy cheeks; the originally cold face was drenched by the rain, actually revealing a hint of weakness and sorrow, making people unable to suppress their pity for her.

As a cold wind blew through the cave, the girl's fragrance rushed toward Lin Sheng, instantly igniting his blood.

A young boy's blood is always so vigorous and wild; his body is like a machine that never stops, his heart pumping powerfully, carrying blood to his limbs and bones, exchanging for endless power.

Lin Sheng felt an itch from the inside out; he longed for a hug, a kiss to fill the cave formed by this itch.

His breathing began to become heavy, and his eyes began to flicker.

He clenched his fists, and his muscles began to twitch.

Finally, he stood up abruptly.

Xia Qing saw these changes in her eyes; at this moment, Lin Sheng gave her a feeling of déjà vu, as if he would turn into a beast and pounce on her at any time.

However, in the end, Lin Sheng didn't; he shouted and rushed into the rain, using the cold raindrops to extinguish the impulse in his heart.

At the same time, he was also cheering and rejoicing, rejoicing that his rationality had gained the upper hand.

Xia Qing looked at the figure like a monkey in the heavy rain, smiled gently, revealing feelings as continuous as a stream, and then rushed into the heavy rain.

The two held hands in the rain, running along the road built by her grandfather, to the mountain.

I don't know when, the rain stopped.

The two sat on the cliff at the top of the mountain, listening to the waves hitting the shore.

Suddenly, points of light appeared before their eyes.

"It's fireflies, it's the fireflies grandfather talked about!"

Looking at the countless dancing points of light before her eyes, Xia Qing shouted in surprise.

How spectacular, how beautiful.

No wonder her grandparents fell in love here.

Xia Qing turned her head and looked at Lin Sheng shyly, but didn't expect that he was also looking at her.

At the moment their eyes met, everything didn't need to be said anymore.

Tonight, the moonlight is truly beautiful...

Soon, Zhao Yunjie's case went to trial.

Damned fate played a huge joke on Xia Qing at this moment.

Her grandfather, whose health had always been quite good, was diagnosed with terminal cancer; if he didn't have surgery, he would only have a few months to live.

Even with surgery, he could only live for another two or three years at most.

And although Zhao Yunjie's father was being investigated, he wasn't unable to do anything.

Zhao Yunjie's lawyer spent a lot of money to compensate the previous victims and obtained their letters of forgiveness.

If he could get Xia Qing's signature, then Zhao Yunjie would likely receive a lighter sentence.

Zhao Yunjie's lawyer began to threaten and lure Xia Qing and her grandfather.

Telling them that if they signed, they would have money for surgery, which could extend her grandfather's life.

If they didn't sign, the Zhao family had plenty of ways to deal with them.

Clearly, the families of the previous victims were also forced to sign letters of forgiveness under such circumstances.

For her grandfather, Xia Qing was heartbroken and prepared to compromise.

However, the old man didn't want his granddaughter to give up the opportunity to seek justice for his sake.

The two sides parted on bad terms.

To protect his granddaughter, Xia An made a decision.

He sent Xia Qing away, took a sharp knife from the kitchen, and went out.

The Zhao company's office building was a landmark building in the town, more than ten stories high.

After Xia An arrived at the company, he explained his purpose to the security guard and was soon taken to the president's office.

"Right, we should both be realistic; things have already happened, and continuing to be so hostile isn't good for anyone; smoothing over the previous pain is what we should do."

Zhao Yongfa took out a bank card and a letter of forgiveness, placing them in front of Xia An.

Xia An picked up the bank card, looking at him calmly, the corners of his mouth twitching with anger: "Xia Qing is the most precious granddaughter I've ever had in my life; that bastard you gave birth to made her like that, and you have the nerve to talk to me about smoothing over the pain?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he pulled the sharp knife from his waist.

This old man, who usually didn't even dare to kill a chicken, stabbed the knife into Zhao Yongfa's chest without hesitation at this moment.

Once, twice, three times...

Until Zhao Yongfa stopped moving, Xia An finally stopped.

But he wasn't satisfied with just this, so he threw Zhao Yongfa's body out of the office window.

Then, Xia An jumped down from the window himself. ===== CHAPTER 1243 =====
