Chapter 187
Zuo Tianhao's parents rushed over from their hometown the next afternoon. Regarding their son's tragic death, the elderly couple had only one demand: to severely punish the killer.
However, since their son was the one who first pulled out a knife and stabbed Bo Yiyang several times, Wen Jingxuan's actions were considered self-defense.
Zuo Tianhao was a university professor with a good reputation on campus. Some petitions appeared online saying that Professor Zuo was a good person. They claimed that the other party was the boss of a large company, and it must have been because he was bullied by the big boss that he rose up in rebellion.
Bo's parents were furious when they saw these posts smearing their son. They thought, "You're not the only ones who can use the power of public opinion. We can do it too. Even if we have to spend every last penny, we'll fight you to the end."
The internet became a bloodbath of verbal attacks, but because people tend to sympathize with the underdog, most were actually on Zuo Tianhao's side.
Then suddenly, a video about animal abuse appeared online. The abuser was none other than Zuo Tianhao, whom everyone had sympathized with not long ago.
The true face of the hypocrite was revealed, and he immediately bore the brunt of even more criticism.
Bo's parents were delighted with this outcome. The couple had never been so united before. They spent a considerable amount of money to place the video on various online platforms, investing heavily to buy traffic for this video.
Under the power of money, many bystanders who hadn't paid attention to this battle before also saw the video.
Although some of the bloody scenes in the video were blurred, one could still see how cruelly this person tortured the little cat and hear the cat's increasingly weak cries.
Even the most hard-hearted person couldn't ignore such a scene.
The internet has this ability - one second Zuo Tianhao was being mourned by everyone, the next second he was being despised.
Zuo's parents saw their son's reputation take a dramatic turn for the worse. They were extremely anxious as parents.
After much thought, they came up with a method to try to salvage their son's reputation.
They posted Zuo Tianhao's medical report online, saying, "Our son was ill. Whether it was abusing cats and dogs or killing someone with a knife, there was a reason. It was all because he was sick. How can you bear to scold a sick person?"
Netizens sympathize with the weak and will sympathize with sick people.
But this absolutely doesn't include those who kill people and then use their own illness as a shield. Zuo's parents had really touched a nerve with the netizens.
Everyone understood clearly how this incident developed. Some netizens who had previously petitioned for severe punishment of the killer Wen Jingxuan immediately turned around and said she was innocent.
Many even felt that Wen Jingxuan did the right thing by stabbing Zuo Tianhao to death, calling it a very wise decision.
Otherwise, Zuo Tianhao would have killed someone but could use his illness as a shield, killing without going to prison. This would be extremely unfair.
This was just a guess by netizens, but Shi Li had actually experienced it in her previous life. She knew that in her past life, after Zuo Tianhao committed a horrific and inhuman murder case, although he hid for a while, he was quickly caught.
But being caught didn't have much impact on him. He was only temporarily restricted in his freedom, and with his mental illness as a shield, no one could do anything to him.
A mentally ill person who understands the law is practically invincible. Although the Li family had a certain social status and the case caused a great social impact, Zuo Tianhao still didn't pay with his life for the brutal deaths of the family of four. He was merely sent to a mental hospital.
They lost four lives, but he only lost his freedom!
Considering that Lu Lanshan had long wanted to break off the engagement with Bo Yiyang and had no feelings for him, even if the questions were more outrageous, they wouldn't hurt her.
Shi Li's curiosity was too strong. She asked again, "Is it Bo Yiyang's child?"
Lu Lanshan sent a smiling emoji: "If it wasn't Bo Yiyang's child, how could Bo Yiyang's parents let her stay in their villa?"
"I guess after a while they'll take her for an amniocentesis. Just see whether Wen Jingxuan gets kicked out of the villa by Bo Yiyang's parents, and you'll know whose child it is."
The child was most likely Bo Yiyang's. This child should have existed in the previous life too. As for why it didn't appear in the end, Shi Li thought it might have been aborted for fear of interfering with the marriage alliance with the Lu family. The child never had a chance to see this world.
Trading a scumbag for an innocent baby, it was worth it.
In contrast to Wen Jingxuan using the child as her shield, Li Yuwei made a completely different decision. She wanted to abort the child.
Her child couldn't have the blood of an animal abuser and bad person flowing through its veins.
Li's parents didn't care either way. If their daughter wanted to give birth to the child, they could raise the child, after all, it was their own grandchild.
If their daughter wanted to abort the child, as parents, they would respect their daughter's decision.
The summer vacation had barely started for a few days before it was about to end.
This matter still hadn't reached a final conclusion. According to the custom of Qianpu Middle School, students in the experimental class each year had to participate in intensive training during winter and summer vacations, with only a week off at the beginning of summer vacation, which was considered their summer break.
The top few students in Class 1 had to join the key class for special summer training.
This was also ranked according to grades.
On the first day back at school, Shi Li saw the classroom filled with pet carriers and cat cages.
From time to time, students from neighboring classes came over to claim cats and dogs.
"Number 32 is mine, mommy's here."
"I'm number 8."
...
The class monitor stood in front of the pet cages maintaining order and was also responsible for distributing the cats.
Shi Li scratched her head, "What are you all doing?"
"Adopting stray cats and dogs. Adoption instead of buying, giving stray cats and dogs a home!"
Seeing the classmates claiming cats in an orderly manner, Shi Li asked puzzledly, "Where did you see the news about adopting cats? How come I didn't see it?"
As she spoke, she took out her phone to search various social media platforms, wondering if she had missed this news.
The previously somewhat noisy classroom fell into a deathly silence.
