Chapter 688: Chapter 689: The Woman who Murdered her Own Husband
A man like Li Zhiqian would naturally not consider law or morality.
He seems cultured on the surface, but he is a man who will stop at nothing to achieve his objectives.
Just as Li Zhiqian himself told Xia Yangyang.
There are some things that you can’t do, but I can do them for you, because I am not a good person in the first place.
In this world, there is an effective way to deal with evil people: fight fire with fire.
Deep down, Xia Yangyang was still very grateful to Li Zhiqian.
Soon, things took a drastic turn.
The criminal investigation bureaus of Beijing and Feng City jointly intervened in the investigation.
Due to Xu Wan’s testimony, coupled with the recorded evidence he kept from back in the day, given his cunning nature.
An accidental incident from four years ago was quickly determined to be a premeditated murder.
Xu Wan naturally could not escape from this responsibility.
However, the instigators Xi Jiaxin and Liu Ruyan were also arrested and investigated.
Gao Huizhi used his political connections to oppress these two, leaving them no room to turn around.
Even Xi Jiachen couldn’t bail them out.
The investigation was still ongoing.
The first trial verdict was due in three days.
At present, the entire Beijing was almost in chaos.
After all, these two people were involved in all walks of life.
Especially Liu Ruyan’s antique shop, which was greatly affected in business.
All of this caught her off guard.
She knew that Xia Yangyang would take certain actions.
But she didn’t expect that it would be so soon.
She was framed for murder so quickly.
The media in Beijing were also bustling with excitement.
“My God, this woman is too frightening. She murdered her own husband just to climb up the social ladder. It really attests to the treacherousness of women.”
“Wasn’t it revealed before that she cheated on Xi? Many cheered her on then. It wasn’t a matter of circumstance, it was a matter of never changing one’s character.”
“Xi, being a wise man, quickly divorced her. But he couldn’t have expected to be entangled in the past affairs instigated by a woman.”
“The Xi family has been plagued by problems recently. Xi Jiachen has always loved his younger brother very much, he wouldn’t just stand by.”
The affairs of the Xi family seem to have become the topic of everyone’s mealtime chats.
On the day Liu Ruyan was found guilty of murder in the first trial, Xia Yangyang broke into a fit of tears.
Liu Ruyan was sentenced to eight years in prison.
For Xia Yangyang, although it couldn’t comfort the spirits of her deceased parents, it was enough to bring her some temporary peace.
That woman finally received the punishment she deserved.
Xi Jiaxin was sentenced to six years in prison.
But both of them hired lawyers to appeal the judgment.
Xia Weiwei was also stunned.
She had been in a daze these days.
Because she never thought her mother could murder her father.
In her heart, her father is irreplaceable, even though she grew up competing for love with Xia Yangyang.
Xia Liangdong always favored Xia Yangyang slightly.
But in Xia Weiwei’s heart, he was still her father.
When her father died unexpectedly years ago, she was devastated for a long time.
And she attributed all the wrongs to Xia Yangyang, the troublemaker.
But Xia Yangyang had never thought it would turn out to be premeditated murder by her mother.
Xia Weiwei could not accept this fact for a while.
Meanwhile, she had been vacationing in Mauritius for these few days.
Her island vacation spot had no communication.
When she returned to the country, Liu Ruyan had already been arrested for murder and was about to be put on trial.
Xia Weiwei attended the trial.
After the verdict came down, Liu Ruyan pulled some strings to meet with her.
Xia Weiwei went to see her.
The room was an old interrogation room.
When Xia Weiwei met Liu Ruyan again, she still couldn’t believe it.
“Mom, did you really set up and kill dad?”
