Chapter 145 – Seeking Justice for His Daughter!
Xu Jinning woke up in the afternoon and heard from her family members about the arrest of Zhong Dequan and others.
She felt relieved; Zhong Dequan was finally caught, which was really good.
Such a demon should have been punished by the law long ago, giving him more freedom meant more victims.
However, it was unknown whether those children abd*cted by Zhong Dequan and human traffickers in the past could be found.
This part was not mentioned in the book.
Even in the book, people like Zhong Dequan lived until their eighties.
By that time, Zhong Dequan had already spent decades at Anren Hospital, during which he had harmed countless families, abducted numerous children, and might have taken many lives.
When he was in his eighties, Zhong Dequan had actually retired long ago.
But when he saw the female protagonist, Lin Wangshu, so successful, and witnessed the increasing status of the Lin family, he recognized them as the couple who had initially asked him to exchange their child.
At that time, Zhong Dequan’s child had gambling debts, and he had no way out, so he threatened Lin Wangshu.
Yes, Zhong Dequan had children at that time.
However, they were not his and Li Shuyan’s children; Li Shuyan died of illness when she was middle-aged.
At that time, Li Shuyan’s father, who had always suppressed Zhong Dequan, also died shortly after.
Soon after, Zhong Dequan remarried and had four more children.
Zhong Dequan tried to threaten Lin Wangshu, but she was the female protagonist, and Zhong Dequan was just a supporting role; how could he succeed in threatening her?
Moreover, Lin Wangshu couldn’t let Zhong Dequan expose this matter.
With her and her parents’ current status, once Zhong Dequan exposed this matter, it would definitely have a very negative impact on them.
So, Lin Wangshu had someone investigate Zhong Dequan, and soon found out about his involvement in abd*cting newborns while working at the hospital years ago.
That’s how Zhong Dequan was caught and soon executed by firing squad.
His deeds were also exposed.
The entire internet condemned Zhong Dequan for his lack of conscience while praising the female protagonist, Lin Wangshu, for exposing the demon’s true face and bringing him to justice.
At that time, Lin Wangshu gained praise from people across the country, and her fame soared even higher.
In the book, it seemed that anyone who harbored hostility toward the female protagonist would ultimately be defeated by her, becoming stepping stones on her path to success.
Even though Zhong Dequan was eventually brought to justice, he lived to be in his eighties.
During those eighty years, he lived a smooth and comfortable life.
How many people can live to be in their eighties?
How many of those children abd*cted by Zhong Dequan died before him, not to mention the pregnant women intentionally k*lled by him on the delivery bed, how unjust it was.
In those few books, everything seemed morally wrong. If you put yourself in the female protagonist’s shoes, it indeed gave a sense of satisfaction, as if the whole world should revolve around her, as if everything in this world was arranged for her. Whatever she wanted, she could get, and undoubtedly, anyone who opposed her would not have a good ending.
But these female protagonists in the books were not genuinely good or beautiful beings; some were even villains.
Initially, when Xu Jinning read these books, she almost gave up because of the conflicting values. However, because there was a cannon fodder character with a name identical to hers in “Real and Fake Rich Daughter,” she persevered.
As she continued reading, she wanted to see how many morally wrong plots the author could come up with.
It was only after finishing all the books that Xu Jinning realized that not only did the author have issues with values, but they might also have psychological problems.
Xu Jinning thought, if she could time travel to this world, she could correct some of the mistakes in this world.
At the very least, she wanted every kind-hearted person, even if they were cannon fodder, to hold onto their ordinary and hard-working fate, live peacefully, and complete their lives peacefully.
…
Here, as Zhang Changzheng interrogated Zhong Dequan and others, the crimes they committed were gradually exposed.
Although Zhang Changzheng saw part of Zhong Dequan’s criminal process in Xu Jinning’s mental imagery, in reality, what they had done was even more numerous and cruel than what Zhang Changzheng had witnessed…
Zhang Changzheng’s colleagues who were present during the interrogation, upon seeing the heinous crimes revealed one by one, were truly eager to immediately bring Zhong Dequan and others to justice on the spot.
Over the past decade, there were around twenty pregnant women intentionally k*lled by Zhong Dequan and his accomplices, and over two hundred abd*cted children…
The ringleader, Zhong Dequan, was an obstetrician-gynecologist, sheltered by his father-in-law who was also the hospital director. Involved in the crimes were also his wife and many relatives…
The nature of these crimes was truly despicable.
The scale of this case was immense, so Zhang Changzheng decided to report it to higher authorities.
The superiors immediately took it seriously.
Of course, Zhang Changzheng also managed to extract from Zhong Dequan about the truth that he had taken money from the Lin family fifteen years ago and deliberately swapped children.
“Why did you do this? Don’t you know that swapping a child could ruin their entire life!”
Perhaps because Xu Jinning was the one swapped, and because of the fifteen years, Xu Jinning had a very difficult time, even coming close to death several times, so Zhang Changzheng was extremely angry.
However, Zhong Dequan’s expression remained indifferent. He shrugged and said, “Whether the child lives well or not is their own business, what does it have to do with me?”
Zhang Changzheng wished he could grab Zhong Dequan’s neck and squeeze it hard.
However, he knew that with someone like Zhong Dequan, whose psyche was already twisted, there was no need to ask him anything related to morals because this person simply had no conscience and no empathy.
But at least Zhong Dequan admitted it.
With Zhong Dequan’s confession, signature, and fingerprint, the fact that the Lin family deliberately swapped their child fifteen years ago was now a reality and a crime.
Even though fifteen years had passed, and even though the Lin family was now in higher positions, exposing this could still have a significant impact. It could make them wary of blatantly disregarding the law again and protecting Lin Wangshu, who was also involved in the crime.
Yes, Zhang Changzheng had just received news that the Lin family had arrived in Anren County and had also contacted people.
On Zhang Changzheng’s end, he received a notice, hoping that he could downplay Lin Wangshu’s situation, making it seem less severe.
“Downplay the situation, make it seem less severe…” Zhang Changzheng smiled coldly.
That was because it wasn’t their family members who were harmed.
But Xu Jinning, even if not related by blood, was still the girl he recognized, the girl who saved him and his wife’s two children in her belly.
He had promised to protect her; how could he let the little girl suffer injustice?
So, Zhang Changzheng provided feedback upwards, showcasing his achievements, the merits he had earned, and most importantly, his stance.
Even if it cost him his position, he would seek justice for his daughter!
Lin Wangshu and her parents might not face consequences right away, but there would come a day when they would receive retribution and punishment.
