The next day, Lin Shuyue got up very early, and when she got up, there was indeed a newspaper from the future beside her.
What was written in the newspaper was similar to what Wu Dongyan said last night, but it was in the original trajectory of events.
Xing Yueya died a month later, and it was indeed Wei Yu who did it. However, because the police had no evidence, Fan Damei fled after helping Wei Yu succeed.
After performing an autopsy on Xing Yueya, the police discovered the truth about her death. When they tried to arrest Wei Yu after finding out what happened, Wei Yu had already committed suicide on the night Xing Yueya was killed.
Fan Damei was arrested in 2015. After her arrest, she was able to face the fact that she had committed murder in revenge calmly.
When the reporter interviewed her, she told him everything, including Wei Yu's blog.
Countless people flocked to the social software that had long been eliminated and found Wei Yu's "A Curtain of Dreams", which contained Wei Yu's diaries, each of which made people cry.
Xing Yueya and Wei Rongzhen, two men who had died long ago, were dragged out by many people to be lashed out online.
Even the national legal program has compiled their cases into legal short dramas.
Lin Shuyue never read Wei Yu's blog, because from the tip of the iceberg of the cases she knew about, she could see the suffering Wei Yu had experienced throughout his life.
But now, Lin Shuyue wants to take a look.
She made herself a cup of sesame paste, which Lou Fengqin brought her. This was the first time Lin Shuyue had it.
The sesame paste had a rich aroma and was slightly sweet, and tasted quite good. After her stomach was full, Lin Shuyue felt much more relaxed.
She turned on her computer, found the blog Lu Xiaoyun had mentioned, and typed in the words "Yi Lian You Meng." Because Qiong Yao's romance novels were a huge hit in mainland China, the name "Yi Lian You Meng" had also become popular, and a quick search brought up dozens of bloggers with the same name. (TL's Note: 'Yi Lian You Meng' also means 'A Curtain of Dreams')
Lin Shuyue clicked on them one by one, and only found Wei Yu's blog after clicking on the second half.
The blog had a lock on it, and Lin Shuyue was stopped outside. After thinking about it again and again, she still didn't use the unlocking tool that came with the computer.
Wei Yu's blog in the newspaper is well-known to everyone because before she died, she asked Fan Damei to open her blog. But now Wei Yu is still alive, and she may not want others to see her most unbearable past?
The rain was still falling outside. Lin Shuyue thought for a while, then lay back on the bed with her computer in her arms. She organized her interview last night and the information she learned from Wu Dongyan, and sent them to Huang Qiang.
Huang Qiang had already gotten up. After receiving Lin Shuyue's email, he immediately put the article on the front page of the day. The Wei Yu matricide case had garnered widespread public attention, and the media in Pengcheng had gone to great lengths to interview anyone related to Wei Yu, but with little success. On this point, Lin Shuyue had once again outstripped them.
After sending out Lin Shuyue's article, Huang Qiang discovered that there was an anonymous email in his mailbox.
Huang Qiang clicked on it and found that the article, written as an insider, described all the incidents of Wei Yu being molested during her adolescence.
The content was too explosive. Huang Qiang thought about it again and again and decided not to publish it. Their newspaper already had a headline that was eye-catching enough. There was no need to publish such a report that profited from someone's misfortune.
As a person, you must have a bottom line, and the same applies to journalists and newspapers.
But Huang Qiang thought that this report could be sent to his email address as well as to other people's email addresses, and whether those newspapers would publish this report was not something he could control.
Not everyone has such a bottom line as them.
Lin Shuyue couldn't sleep either, so she turned on the computer and played a game. After venting her anger by killing people in the game, she lay down on the bed, hugged the pillow and fell asleep again.
•••••
Wei Liang had already gotten up in the Water Conservancy and Hydropower Bureau's staff quarters, not far from the Xijiang Apartment where Lin Shuyue lived.
The news that his wife wanted to divorce him hit him hard at home. He didn't sleep well last night. When he got up, he didn't see his wife Ran Manman and daughter Xinxin at home. He felt sad.
Even now, he still couldn't understand why Ran Manman was so heartless. After years of relationship, she just wanted to divorce him!
After simply washing his face and brushing his teeth, Wei Liang looked at himself in the mirror with unshaven beard and red eyes, and felt very satisfied.
He opened the door with a bitter face and walked out. It happened to be the time when the aunt next door went out to buy vegetables. As soon as he appeared in this look, he attracted everyone's attention.
"Wei Liang, your wife packed up and took the children home yesterday, and said she want a divorce. Are you really going to get a divorce?" Wei Liang has always been an employee of the hydropower station, but he moved into the staff quarters of the hydropower station four years ago. At that time, Wei Liang had not yet sent Wei Xinxin to Wei Rongzhen.
Wei Liang gave a wry smile: "She said yes, no matter how I tried to persuade her, it was useless."
Wei Liang deliberately kept a disheveled and decadent appearance, and with his wry smile and infatuated look, he instantly made several aunts feel sympathy for him.
Several people comforted Wei Liang for a few words, and then criticized Ran Manman: "If you ask me, Xiao Ran really doesn't know how to appreciate what she has. Look at you, you have a good family, you look good, you take care of your family, you go home after get off work, and you take care of the housework. Why does she want a divorce?"
This is the aunt who lives closest to Ran Manman's home. She loves to gossip about other people's families, and among those "other people's families", she only likes to talk about Ran Manman's.
In addition, after Ran Manman became unhappy with living with Wei Liang, she no longer liked to get along with the people in Wei Liang's family compound. Now, there were even more people gossiping about her.
"Maybe I didn't give her and our child a good life." Wei Liang lowered his eyes.
"Oh, that's not enough. You are a leader now, but what you earn is not enough for her to live on. What else does she want?" A group of aunts spoke passionately, each of them speaking up for Wei Liang.
Wei Liang would only speak up to defend Ran Manman after they had finished belittling her, and finally left amidst the aunts' sympathetic gazes.
As soon as Wei Liang left, everyone started chatting. Wei Liang walked towards the office. When he thought about what those aunts would say about them behind their backs, a smile appeared on his face unconsciously.
Wei Liang has known since childhood how to maintain his perfect image, and he has also been concerned about this during the years he has been with Ran Manman.
With just a few words, he attributed the reason for the divorce to Ran Manman's disdain for his poverty and lack of prospects, and created an image of himself as a family-oriented and honest man. While Wei Liang was satisfied, he also looked down on the women who were manipulated by his few words.
He arrived at the office building with a kind of indescribable sense of pride.
But for some reason, from the moment he stepped into the unit, he felt that everyone looked at him strangely.
He couldn't help but wonder if the news of Ran Manman's divorce had spread to the company. Before he could think about it, his boss called him to the office.
"Brother Zhang, you called me?" Wei Liang's attitude was very good. His father's territory was mainly in Guangzhou, and later he retired and moved to Shenzhen. But the Buddha from outside the city can't ring the bell in the local area, and his network of connections can't bring much benefit to Wei Liang.
Therefore, Wei Liang, who has worked in the workplace for many years, has become as smooth as a pebble.
His boss, Brother Zhang, glanced at Wei Liang and said, "Xiao Wei, have you dealt with your family affairs?"
Brother Zhang was very dissatisfied with Wei Liang. He felt that Wei Liang was particularly cold and indifferent. His mother was murdered last night, and there were rumors of divorce this afternoon. It had only been a night, and he hadn't even dealt with his mother's body yet? And he came to work?
Wei Liang's expression froze. Only then did he remember that his mother had died. He also saw from Brother Zhang's expression that he was dissatisfied with himself: "Brother Zhang, I just came here to ask for leave."
Wei Liang squeezed his eyes, tears about to come out. Brother Zhang's expression softened a little: "Didn't I tell you yesterday? Take care of your family affairs before coming to work."
"Our company is quite strict. If I don't come to sign a leave application, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me..." Wei Liang likes to say half of what he wants and keep the other half.
Brother Zhang smiled and said, "Okay, go out and take care of your family affairs."
Wei Liang said goodbye to Brother Zhang before leaving. He went to the personnel department to get a leave application. After writing it, he went to the toilet. He squatted in the cubicle and heard people talking outside.
"Do you think Wei Liang's father is truly a beast? And would his mother really send her own daughter away just to compete for his father's affections with someone else?"
"It's all written in the newspapers. It sounds exactly like the truth, how could it be false? It's said that someone even called the newspaper specifically to report it. One of them was his father's former lover."
"Eh, so disgusting! No wonder his sister wants to kill someone. If it were me, I would kill too. Tell me, does Wei Liang know that his sister was abused by his parents?"
"How could he not know that? I just think he's not a good guy. In front of outsiders, he's a filial son and a caring husband. The bad guys are all his mother and wife. If I were his wife, I would divorce him. I'll lose my reputation if I'm with him."
"Okay, let's stop talking. Go to work now, or you'll get scolded again. But then again, what does Wei Liang's father think? It's okay to have other women, but he's also trying to get involved with his own daughter. Is there any humanity left?"
"He's not a good guy either..." The colleague outside said this and left. Wei Liang came out of the cubicle with an indescribable cruelty in his eyes.
He came out of the office and went straight to Ran Manman's house. Ran Manman was renting a house outside. When he arrived, Ran Manman was cleaning.
Ran Manman heard someone knocking on the door and turned to walk out: "Who is it?"
Wei Liang's face was gloomy: "The water meter reader." Wei Liang lowered his voice.
Because there was a door between them, Ran Manman didn't recognize who he was. Ran Manman opened the door and said, "Isn't the water meter reading due in two days?"
Seeing Wei Liang, it was too late for her to close the door. Wei Liang directly reached out and grabbed Ran Manman's neck, his eyes red with cruelty: "Family disgrace should not be made public, Ran Manman, you dare to say anything."
There was a snap, the sound of a broom falling to the ground.
