Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

Zhou Zhihao was restrained by the Police and locked up.

Li Zhenxing and Luo Jiaxin, on the other hand, were taken aside by the Police to be comforted.

Li Zhenxing was fuming, and made his position clear to the Police: no compensation, only a death sentence for Zhou Zhihao!

Because he knew that even if Zhou Zhihao was willing to pay, the compensation Zhou Zhihao gave would likely not be enough to cover all his debts.

If it couldn't cover all his debts, then his bottomless pit couldn't be refilled, and even obtaining the compensation would be of little significance to him.

However, the Police's reply chilled his heart halfway.

Zhou Zhihao did not directly kill Li Yuncui; Li Yuncui committed suicide by jumping from a building. This is undisputed, an ironclad fact.

In other words, even with the maximum penalty for Zhou Zhihao, a death sentence is impossible.

"Zhou Zhihao's charges: first, Insult Crime. At the wedding, without Li Yuncui's consent, he publicly played a private video of him and Li Yuncui, which constitutes the act of publicly disparaging another's personality and damaging another's reputation. Second is Picking Quarrels and Provoking Trouble. Deliberately playing an obscene video, disrupting the public order of the wedding, has already constituted the fact of picking quarrels and provoking trouble."

The police officer responsible for handling this case is named Liao Zhi'an; he is a Captain at the County City Police Bureau.

Previously, when Liang Xinghua was besieged and beaten by five Ultramen who broke into his residence in the middle of the night, it was also Liao Zhi'an who personally led the team to handle it.

He is an experienced veteran police officer.

Handling this kind of matter can be said to be flexible and resilient.

Liao Zhi'an also gave Li Zhenxing and Luo Jiaxin, the couple, a legal education:

"According to Article 246 of the Criminal Law, the penalty for Insult Crime is fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years, criminal detention, public surveillance, or deprivation of political rights. If it causes death, it belongs to especially serious circumstances and can be punished more severely, but the maximum sentence is still three years. And according to Article 293 of the Criminal Law, Picking Quarrels and Provoking Trouble is generally sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than five years, criminal detention, or public surveillance. If it causes death, the sentencing standard is also three to five years of fixed-term imprisonment."

Liao Zhi'an gave Li Zhenxing and Luo Jiaxin a conclusion:

"So, you wanting Zhou Zhihao to pay with his life is impossible. I suggest you be rational and try to fight for a bit more compensation; that also counts as stopping the loss in time."

Luo Jiaxin heard this and was very angry:

"Police Comrade, you ask us to be rational, how can we be rational? If it was your daughter who died, could you be rational?"

Liao Zhi'an said truthfully:

"If it was my daughter who had the accident, I would kill that bastard on the spot, but under the current legal framework, it is just like this. Zhou Zhihao has already been arrested; only the Court can sentence him, you cannot."

Li Zhenxing wailed and raved:

"You let him out, I want to kill him, kill him!"

Liao Zhi'an, however, said:

"This case involves a human life; you think he gets released just because you say so? This is not child's play!"

Liao Zhi'an glared coldly at Li Zhenxing:

"Furthermore, regarding your daughter's death, do you bear no responsibility at all? Ask your own conscience! You being chased for debt was also one of the fuses!"

Li Zhenxing was speechless for a moment.

He owed a buttload of debt and even misappropriated the bride price Wang Yaohua gave Li Yuncui; he indeed bore some fault.

Luo Jiaxin, however, was more concerned about another matter:

"Police Comrade, that loan shark Brother Tiger, you have to arrest him too; he's lending illegally!"

Liao Zhi'an, however, said:

"This is a separate matter. He didn't mess around at the wedding; he just said a few words demanding repayment and then left. According to current legal sentencing standards, he still can't be nailed down."

"But he runs an underground Gambling Den; that surely counts as a violation!" Luo Jiaxin said furiously.

Now that her daughter was dead, she didn't care about anything, biting wildly everywhere.

"If there's evidence, he definitely can't escape the law's sanction, but evidence isn't that easy to find, is it?"

Luo Jiaxin hurriedly said:

"I can have my husband report him!"

Li Zhenxing at this time hurriedly said:

"Handle my daughter's matter first, don't go meddling with other things!"

Li Zhenxing didn't want to provoke Brother Tiger; the man operates in the underworld, how could an ordinary commoner lightly provoke him?

Right now he only wants to get justice for his daughter.

Before he avenges his daughter, he doesn't want to be killed or crippled by Brother Tiger; if that really happened, he would lose the ability to take revenge.

Luo Jiaxin, however, didn't understand:

"Wouldn't it be better to have the Police handle everything together now!"

She couldn't understand Li Zhenxing's mentality of wanting revenge.

She wasn't clear on Li Zhenxing's true thoughts at this moment.

She also said to Liao Zhi'an:

"Right, for my daughter's death, does Wang Yaohua also have to bear some responsibility?"

Hearing this, Liao Zhi'an immediately cast a surprised look at Luo Jiaxin:

"You actually want Wang Yaohua to be responsible?"

Luo Jiaxin argued confidently:

"Of course! If he had married my daughter, this tragedy fundamentally wouldn't have happened. It was him breaking off the engagement halfway that led to this tragedy, so he must bear some responsibility!"

Liao Zhi'an was somewhat at a loss whether to cry or laugh:

"Having a mother like you is probably also one of the reasons Li Yuncui committed suicide."

Liao Zhi'an couldn't help but say this one sentence.

Luo Jiaxin immediately became unhappy:

"What are you saying?"

Liao Zhi'an hurriedly reined in his emotions; after all, he was a professional case-handling police officer, so he said:

"I didn't say anything. If you want Wang Yaohua to be held responsible, then collect evidence of the other party's faults and then sue him in Court. As for your daughter's death, our initial appraisal shows it has little connection to Wang Yaohua; it was mainly caused by that private video Zhou Zhihao played."

Luo Jiaxin was fuming:

"Rest assured, I will definitely sue him. He must take responsibility for my daughter's death; at the very least, he cannot be allowed to chase back the bride price!"

Luo Jiaxin could be said to have calculated everything clearly.

Whether it was towards Zhou Zhihao who played the video, or towards Brother Tiger who lent at usurious rates, or towards Wang Yaohua who incurred debts to marry Li Yuncui — all of them must be settled clearly!

However, at this moment, Li Zhenxing suddenly said:

"Make Zhou Zhihao pay 50,000 yuan in compensation, then forgive him and let him go."

Hearing this, Luo Jiaxin was immediately astonished:

"What are you saying? Our daughter died, and you only want 50,000 yuan? Weren't you just saying you wanted him to pay with his life? How come now you only want this little compensation?"

Li Zhenxing, however, was expressionless:

"That 50,000 yuan compensation goes to you. Additionally, tomorrow we'll go handle the divorce procedures."

Luo Jiaxin was fuming:

"Is this the time to talk about divorce? We must get justice for our daughter!"

Liao Zhi'an, rich in case-handling experience, immediately spotted the clue.

He hurriedly advised Li Zhenxing:

"You must not do anything stupid; killing someone requires paying with your life!"

Li Zhenxing laughed coldly:

"My life is worthless anyway; what does it matter?"

Only now did Luo Jiaxin realize!

So Li Zhenxing wanted the police to release Zhou Zhihao as soon as possible, and then he would personally go settle Zhou Zhihao, to avenge their daughter!
