Chapter 109 - She Was Finally Vindicated After Eight Long Years

"Why are you so easily scared? My dad is the assemblyman, so what can anyone do to me even though her death is traced to us? They can never do a thing to us. Just a phone call to the police commissioner and everything will be settled," Ying replied, smiling maniacally.

"You guys should better make sure I am not implicated because my dad's election is around the corner. He will murder me if I ruin his political career," Yixian interjected, pointing his index finger at all his friends.

While trying to put her phone inside her bag, she did not know that her phone had fallen down on the leather couch. Zhixiang instantly sneaked out of the Mansion after she recorded all the useful information. Yixian and his friends came for her after they discovered the video.

Zhixiang and Xiaoqi ran for their dear lives when they learned about this, but they couldn't run for long. The bastards caught up to them in no time. Zhixiang was shot in the chest and Xiaoqi on her lap. They all vanished after shooting them. They were afraid that their gunshots might have alerted the people, so they ran away in that thick darkness without even confirming whether they were both dead. The scene was so bloody that night. The heavy downpour worsened everything. In that heavy rain, Jin Xiaoqi stayed with her dead sister's corpse, unable to move until she fainted. Everything that happened after then, she wasn't aware of them because she only woke up four months later to find out that everything had changed.

She was labelled as the suspect by the police. Despite everything she said, nobody believed her. After staying in the cell for 48 hours, the police released her for lack of evidence after calling her the lucky murder.

The powerless Jin Xiaoqi went around to gather evidence. She came back to the police station with the evidence she gathered, but she got the shock of her life when the policeman tore the evidence in her own presence.

"You want to seek justice for your sister's death? That will never happen. Do you know why? Because having money means justice. You can do whatever you want that includes killing and go scot free as long as you have plenty of cash," This is what Yixian told him back then when she confronted him. By lurking around the Zhous' she got to know that it was Chairman Zhou who bribed the police. He sent his men after her when Jin Xiaoqi refused to let her sister's murderers go scot free. It was because of the incessant pursuit that she found herself on a bridge.

PRESENT

"What I had in mind before was to have ladies rape you and afterwards cut your body into tiny shreds and feed it to the hungry fishes in the river but I won't bring myself down to your level. This crucial information you have given me is all I need from you. Too bad I could not hold back my itching hands which wanted to taste blood," Yang Zi said standing on her feet.

"The prison food tasted horrible. Lunch and dinner are on me. Just a warning: don't get used to the tasty dishes because a horrible taste is waiting for you tomorrow in prison, you will eat that for your entire life," Yang Zi added before she walked towards the entrance.

"Guys, package him in a carton and drop him in front of his ruined company tomorrow morning," Yang Zi instructed when she got to the entrance of the large room.

"Yes Ma," the six scary looking men dressed in black answered in unison. Yang Zi left without glancing back.

The next day the pictures and videos of Zhou Yixian being delivered in a carton to his company went viral on the internet, magazines and newspapers. The video of his confession concerning the murder of Jin Zhixiang, Fu Yao and the attempted murder of Jin Xiaoqi was also found inside the carton. The news was the hottest news in the City and beyond. Everyone who knew the Zhou's abandoned them at the time they needed them the most. Since all the evidence about Zhou Yixian was clear. He was immediately apprehended and to be tried in a few days after his recovery. The public opinion about the Zhou's case was very harsh. Any of the Zhous' who reads the hateful comments will have only one thought in his or her and that is to commit suicide. Yang Zi sat down and read some of the comments to lighten up her mood.

"How could Zhou Yixian be so heartless to murder our most talented Singer, Jin Zhixiang. Does he even have a heart?"

"Of course he doesn't have a heart. He is a beast living among humans,"

"Oh, so all this while he was the murderer of that new singer back then. This is to say that intelligent girl Jin Xiaoqi was wrongly accused? What the Zhous' did back then was inhumane. They have to pay dearly for ruining that poor girl's life,"

"All the Zhous' should just go to hell where they belong,"

"For him to have murdered his girlfriend cold-bloodedly and the crime was covered up. I wonder how many crimes like that he has committed that the police and media house has covered up,"

"The entire police force should be sued for declaring an innocent girl a national criminal back then. They are solely responsible for what happened too."

"None of the Zhous' deserve to be alive especially that animal and his beastly father. They should all go and die,"

"Zhou Yixian, you don't deserve to be alive after all the countless crimes you have committed. Just commit suicide already and save the court the stress,"

"Even after the videos about his company selling substandard products to all its consumers was uploaded on the internet. I still fought against all the haters believing that they were framed by their rival companies but I regret ever supporting you guys now. For you and your father to have messed with something as important as food, the court should either charge the both of you for mass mudrer or terrorism because the both of you are nothing but terrorists wearing suits and sitting down in offices,"

"To whoever is responsible for this, thank you. We love you so much despite the fact that we don't know who you are. Even though we don't know your purpose for doing this, but just know that you have saved millions of lives because of this single acts of yours." Yang Zi's smile broaden when she read this particular message. She felt happy and fulfilled.

"The Zhous' deserve what they got and even more. The saying that nine days for the thief and one day for the owner is a perfect example for them. After so many years of againing wealth illegally, they were caught unawares." Yang Zi kept on reading and smiling at intervals, she paused when she saw a comment about her.

"Back then the police declared singer Zhixiang's sister dead after she mysteriously went missing without a trace, but why do I fee like she is still alive and that she has a hand in what is happening to the Zhous' now? I wonder who she is? If you are still alive somewhere there. On behalf of the entire public, I apologised for the injustice you went through. The media has cleared your name and we hope to hear from you soon." Tears flowed down Yang Zi's face.

Her mind went back to that day the police arrest her from the hospital. She was surprised to see people gathering outside the police station. What she didn't know was that they were waiting for her until they started throwing eggs, fruits and other stuffs at her. She was called a cold-blooded murder who couldn't even spare her kin. She had wept uncontrollably that day hearing such despicable words came out of the mouths of people who supposed to empathise with her. They would have tore her into shreds had the police officers not rescue her from their clutches.

"Sister Zhixiang it is finally over. I am sorry once again that I didn't kill that bastard. I know you understand my reason for doing so," Yang Zi said, lying on the bed as tears trickle down her beautiful face.

Three days later, the long-awaited day finally came. Yang Mi ran around the house screaming in excitement to announce to everyone in the Mansion that today was her day.

"Come on mum, let's play," Yang Mi screamed, removing the blankets from Yang Zi's body. She moved onto folding the curtains when Yang Zi refused to wake up.

"Wake up Mum and let's play? You often wake up early so why are you still in bed on my day?" Yang Mi said loudly sitting down on top of Yang Zi's body. She repeatedly shook her to wake her up. Before she could assimilate what was happening, Yang Zi whom she thought was asleep quickly turned her over.

"Caught ya," Yang Zi shouted, tickling her.
