Chapter 105: On Fire, Retribution Arrives

Chapter 105

Linlin's Mother woke up in tears.

After waking up, instead of crying, she was unusually calm, telling Gu Sang and Chen Yun not to attend to her.

After sending Linlin's Mother back home, she said, "I want to live on. I want to seek justice for Linlin and see those people punished as they deserve."

"Don't worry about me, you two. I will live well, including Linlin's share."

Gu Sang nodded with mixed feelings and left Linlin's Mother her phone number.

They closed the door.

Gu Sang and Chen Yun looked at the door and hallway, covered in words written in paint. Chen Yun couldn't hold back her tears again.

"Vile whore, seducing a married man, an ungrateful child..."

Gu Sang took a deep breath and closed his eyes, clenching his fists tightly, his nails slightly digging into his skin, the pain in his palms not even one-thousandth of the heartbreak he felt.

*Ding!*

*Merit increased by 110,000!*

After parting ways with Chen Yun, as soon as Gu Sang got in the car, he received a message from the System.

A merit of 110,000.

That must mean that at least 110,000 people had changed their minds about Linlin's case.

Perhaps.

In the future, when women in ancient times are hurt by rumors, they might have a chance to escape.

There is no way to completely avoid rumors.

But Gu Sang hoped that after Linlin's case, those bystanders, those who didn't know the truth, would no longer speak recklessly.

They only need to stand by and watch, really!

-

After Gu Sang's case concluded,

the incident of Consort Zhao's suicide gradually subsided with time. When Pei Changying felt enough time had passed, he immediately ordered a large army to suppress the Elder Princess.

Ten miles outside the Plague City.

A mighty army of 50,000 soldiers was marching toward the Plague City.

These 50,000 soldiers, elite troops summoned by Pei Changying from the capital, were far superior to the mere 1,000 soldiers General Qin had led.

This time, Pei Changying was determined to annihilate the Elder Princess's rebel army in the Plague City!

Demoted to Vice General, Qin Vice General was full of self-mockery.

In modern times,

Gu Sang received a call from Lu Mufei: "Sang, President Tang asked me to let you know that filming starts in seven days."

"I'll pick you up for dinner tonight and give you the script."

"Great, I'll make the restaurant reservation then. Tonight's dinner is on Gu Sang!"

"Haha, sounds good!"

Gu Sang had just hung up when a hot viral video popped up on his phone - the clip of Lin Lin hysterically berating He Linpeng for jumping off the building.

The comments section exploded!

Countless netizens began slamming He Linpeng.

Some netizens dug up Linlin's identity, phone number, and entire history, even revealing details about the scumbag He Linpeng.

"Damn, what's there to feel sorry for a mistress? Whether she knew or not, a mistress is a mistress and deserves no pity. Is jumping to your death for this worth it to your parents?"

"The commenter above must be a scumbag himself. The woman was deceived so tragically, and you have no sympathy."

"Hahaha, the internet jokes about dumplings for 80 cents and a birthday gift of Lafite actually came true. I can only say these stingy, penny-pinching broke losers are the worst."

"The deceitful scumbag male, the shrew makes a scene inside but acts oblivious outside. Why not hit the man? The mistress may not have known she was a mistress, but didn't the scumbag know he had a wife? Disgusting! I'm gonna puke!"

"Stay single and childless for peace of mind. Stay away from men and cherish your life."

"That scumbag is named He Linpeng? Damn, that's my fellow villager's name too. Should we all cut ties with him, fellow netizens?"

"I can confirm! The girl gifted He Linpeng a watch worth over 100k, and he didn't even mention it. But he'd demand someone's life over a 2 yuan bottle of water!"

"......"

After reading through the comments criticizing He Linpeng, Gu Sang felt relieved, his heart a little more at ease.

The arrows once aimed at an innocent victim had now become knives stabbing at the perpetrators. It remained to be seen if He Linpeng and his wife could still act so nonchalant!

Gu Sang was delighted.

Chen Yun was elated.

She heard some passersby mocking Linlin after watching the video, so she was enraged and rushed over to explain Linlin's grievances.

Then, by accident, she fell from the mall elevator and broke her bones.

"At the hospital?"

"Not everyone will take the victim's side. Many also empathize with the scoundrel and his original partner, so explaining serves no purpose."

"Alright, it's okay Chen Yun. I'm coming over right away."

Gu Sang was taking the call while hurriedly running towards the bedroom to change clothes and go to the hospital to visit Chen Yun.
