Chapter 367: My Heart is Really Aching
“I really hated myself at that time. I could not accept the fact that a young boy who had just started attending university had lost his life at such a young age just because he was trying to protect an old man like me,” the old man said as he started wiping the tears off his face. “I felt very sorry towards the young boy and his family. In fact, I have already paid several visits to the young boy’s family because I wanted to apologize and offer them anything that I could do for them. However, the young boy’s mother is really very kind and understanding. She comforted me and told me not to feel too burdened because it is not my fault…but I really…”
The old man broke down and he started crying as he thought about the young boy.
“I attended the young boy’s funeral about two weeks after the incident and I found out then that he was just eighteen years old. He was such a good boy. Unexpectedly, this evil couple who took his life are actually trying to change the story and make him out to be the villain instead. Do you know how bad I feel right now? Do you know that my heart is really aching?”
“If you do not believe me, you can do your investigation and verify the authenticity of my story. The couple were the ones who had started the fight as they started beating both of us up. The young boy only fought back because he was trying to protect me and defend himself. If you do not believe me, you can go to the police station and verify that what I am saying is the truth.”
“That inhumane couple! Why did they omit the fact that both of them were imprisoned for manslaughter? Why didn’t they mention anything about that? Moreover, I heard that the young boy’s father fell ill and pa.s.sed away not long after the incident because he was so depressed about the unexpected death of his youngest son. The couple have already taken two lives and they still have the audacity to slander an innocent man? Aren’t they afraid of karma? Don’t they have a conscience at all?”
“What is even worse is that the media and the reporters are sharing the news and information without even verifying whether the story checks out. Are you telling me that the information provided by the police will not be credible?”
“That couple will definitely go to h.e.l.l soon!”
The old man had a heavy heart as he agreed to be interviewed by the reporter.
This was because he was really distressed.
He felt so distressed that he felt as though he had lost his will to live…
How could anyone slander and incriminate his benefactor for something that he did not do?
“I am really disappointed with the younger generation. How can you smear the reputation of an innocent man like this?”
“His younger brother has already pa.s.sed away and he still has to put up with all these baseless rumors and slander.”
“You are spreading rumors that his family bribed the police and some high-ranking officials just so that his younger brother could be let off the hook? Xiao Chennan’s family are just ordinary people, like every one of us here!”
Subsequently, the old man also took out a letter that was given to him by the court five years ago. This was a court order, sentencing the couple to pay the old man a total of fifty six thousand yuan for his medical bills and expenses.
“All of you can take a good look at this now. You can also drop by the police station to request for a transcript of the incident that took place five years ago. All these evidence can prove that I am not lying and everything that I said is true.”
Soon, the video of the old man’s interview was shared online.
The old man criticized the current trend of cyber violence and cyber bullying.
“If any of you continues slandering and defaming my benefactor’s family, then I will start a lawsuit against you! I will sue you until you get your just punishment. I will perish with you if that’s what I have to do to get you to stop!”
[Oh my G.o.d. Is this true?]
[The old man is so sad and he is crying so miserably. He also brought out the court order from five years ago to prove that his story is true. That couple was just misleading us and feeding a fake story to the media.]
[I have already checked out what the old man said. Xiao Chennan’s mother was working as a middle school teacher and his father was a factory worker until the day he died. Furthermore, Xiao Chennan’s father really pa.s.sed away just a short while after his younger brother’s death. I think that the old man is really telling us the truth.]
[I feel like crying when I see the old man crying so pitifully. If the old man’s side of the story is true, then the sc.u.mbag couple really slandered Xiao Chennan and his family!]
[I have a friend who works in the crematorium. He told me that Xiao Chennan personally cremated his younger brother five years ago. When he told this story to his own friends initially, everyone refused to believe him.]
[The sc.u.mbag couple really deserves to be condemned and punished for doing this and causing so much pain to Xiao Chennan’s family after everything that they have already gone through.]
A short while later, Qing Yan also arrived at the police station to ask for some a.s.sistance.
At the moment, Qing Yan had Xiao Chennan’s brother’s death certificate, his cremation certificate, the transcript drafted by the police officer five years ago, and also the court judgment of the couple’s sentencing in his hands.
That sc.u.mbag couple were a gone case!
