FBH Chapter 43

The sky was gloomy, in the afternoon.
A blue taxi sped like lightning, suddenly screeching to a halt in front of the Golden Sea Tang Public Security Bureau.
The door quickly opened, and a man and a woman emerged, the man being Zhou Yu, and the woman being Su Yan.
Zhou Yu looked up at the majestic and solemn Public Security Bureau office building in front of him, hesitated slightly, and turned to Su Yan, saying, “I…I’m so nervous.”
“Don’t be afraid. When you see the police, just tell them your experience in detail. You are a victim, not a murderer or arsonist. The police won’t do anything to you,” Su Yan comforted and encouraged him.
Zhou Yu nodded, mustered his courage, and walked into the Public Security Bureau.
He was there to report Xiong Zhiyang.
How did he see through Xiong Zhiyang’s conspiracy?
Originally, he asked Su Yan to help him go to the hospital to find out about Li Fei’s condition. After learning that Li Fei’s injuries were not as severe as Xiong Zhiyang had said, he knew that he had been fooled and used by Xiong Zhiyang.
The situation was indeed like this.
And Zhou Yu saw Li Fei lying in a **”unconscious” state at the hospital. In fact, Xiong Zhiyang bribed a doctor they knew to act in a play together – after Zhou Yu arrived at the hospital, the doctor injected Li Fei with anesthesia, causing him to fall into a coma.
On the night Zhou Yu went to see him at the hospital, Li Fei was transferred by Xiong Zhiyang to a secret residence and imprisoned.
Xiong Zhiyang took the person away because he was worried that Zhou Yu would come to the hospital to find Li Fei, and the trick would be exposed; he imprisoned Li Fei to prevent him from escaping.
This morning, after Su Yan, at Zhou Yu’s request, went to the hospital to look for Li Fei without success, she stopped a nurse in the corridor and inquired, learning that Li Fei had been discharged from the hospital about ten days ago. Su Yan inquired about Li Fei’s condition, and the nurse said that his condition was stable before he was discharged, he could eat and drink, and he could get out of bed and move around by himself.
The nurse also mentioned a detail: on the third day of Li Fei’s admission, she changed the IV fluid for Li Fei, and Li Fei asked the woman who had taken him to the hospital for his mobile phone, but the woman refused, and the two then had an argument. At the time, she also advised the two not to quarrel, so as not to affect other patients.
Su Yan went outside the hospital and told Zhou Yu what she had learned. Zhou Yu was very angry and couldn’t help but curse. But while he was angry, he breathed a long sigh of relief, as if he had broken free from the shackles on his body, and thought to himself that he would never be threatened or manipulated by that bastard Xiong Zhiyang again.
Zhou Yu recalled the scene when he went to the hospital to see Li Fei last time. Although Li Fei was wearing an oxygen mask, he was not in the critical care unit, but in an ordinary ward. He thought to himself that he should have thought carefully about what was wrong at the time, so that he would have secretly investigated Li Fei’s injuries behind Xiong Zhiyang’s back. Once he discovered that it was a conspiracy, he would definitely not fall for Xiong Zhiyang’s trick.
What Zhou Yu was very worried about was that it was unknown whether Li Fei was alive or dead now.
Li Ji said that Shen Pengfei’s mobile phone could no longer be reached. Zhou Yu felt that Shen Pengfei was very likely to have been killed.
Zhou Yu was very afraid that he would also be killed by Xiong Zhiyang, so after he saw this message that day, he never dared to go back to the private apartment that Xiong Zhiyang had rented for him.
Zhou Yu expressed his gratitude to Su Yan for her help, saying that if she hadn’t given him a reminder and asked him to go to the hospital to find out about Li Fei’s injuries and treatment, he would still be kept in the dark by Xiong Zhiyang.
Before Su Yan heard Zhou Yu talk about his being coerced by Xiong Zhiyang this afternoon, she felt that something was wrong and suspected that it was a carefully planned conspiracy by Xiong Zhiyang.
Why did Su Yan have this idea?
In the beginning, Xiong Zhiyang took the initiative to find the place where Su Yan worked. The person who received him was Su Yan. He said that he was the husband of Lv Yuchan, one of the victims of the “7.18” poisoning case. He was here to report the news. He suspected that his wife had an improper relationship with Li Yuehua. He hoped that Su Yan would turn the scandal between Li Yuehua and Lv Yuchan into words and publish it through the “Red Hands” public account to trigger a public opinion storm, ruin Li Yuehua’s reputation, and make him bear the infamy of the world and never be able to hold his head up for the rest of his life.
Xiong Zhiyang did not go alone. He was accompanied by a woman named Gou Zhenghui. Gou Zhenghui was called by Xiong Zhiyang to report the news.
Gou Zhenghui and Lv Yuchan were from the same place. He knew the shameful purpose of Li Yuehua’s marrying into Ning Yaohong’s family, how Li Yuehua had defrauded the Ning family’s demolition money, and how he had abandoned his wife and children and gone far away.
Gou Zhenghui and Xiong Zhiyang did not know each other originally. Gou Zhenghui found Xiong Zhiyang through various inquiries before the “7.18” poisoning case occurred.
At that time, Xiong Zhiyang hated Li Yuehua, who had interfered in his marriage with Lv Yuchan, to the bone. He planned to expose the improper relationship between his wife and Li Yuehua on the Internet. Just in time, Gou Zhenghui came to his door. He was very interested in the “news” provided by Gou Zhenghui.
Gou Zhenghui told Xiong Zhiyang that the private company’s emotional public account called “Red Hands” in Jincheng had a large fan base. If the extramarital affair between Li Yuehua and Lv Yuchan and how Li Yuehua cruelly abandoned his wife and children were promoted in text form through the self-media, it would definitely trigger a public opinion tsunami.
Why did Gou Zhenghui provide these “news” to Xiong Zhiyang?
At that time, the “7.18” poisoning case had only occurred a few days ago and was still a social hot spot. The consistent practice of “Red Hands” was to seize social hot spots, use hot spot events to express its own “views,” pursue public opinion attention, and obtain economic benefits. The hot spot event happened to be within the topic range of “Red Hands,” so the company regarded it as a treasure when it saw Xiong Zhiyang take the initiative to come to the door.
“Red Hands” was a young team composed of people born in the 1990s, and Su Yan was the team’s golden writer.
Since Zhou Yu kicked Li Fei and caused him injury and was coerced by Xiong Zhiyang, he was afraid to see Su Yan because he was in a bad mood and had certain concerns. But later, he not only saw Su Yan, but also asked Su Yan to help him find out about Li Fei’s injuries. What caused his mentality to change?
Then, they added each other on WeChat.
Su Yan: Hehe, thank you for your attention. But you may never see “Red Hands” articles again, because the account has been banned and may not be unbanned.
Zhou Yu was so overwhelmed by Xiong Zhiyang’s coercion that he had not paid attention to the “Red Hands” account for at least a week. Naturally, he did not know that the account had been banned. He was very surprised and felt very sorry. He sent a message asking: Why was it banned?
Su Yan did not reply.
When helping Su Yan move the next day, Zhou Yu talked about the three articles pushed by “Red Hands” targeting the “7.18” poisoning case. Su Yan said with a proud face that all three articles were written by her and that the “news” was mainly provided to her by Xiong Zhiyang.
He mustered up the courage to tell Su Yan what he had been coerced by Xiong Zhiyang to do and why he was being coerced. He hoped that she would help him analyze whether he had fallen into the trap designed by Xiong Zhiyang.
Therefore, the previous incident of Su Yan helping Zhou Yu go to the hospital to find out about Li Fei’s injuries happened, and the incident of Zhou Yu deciding to report the case to the Public Security Bureau after discovering that he had fallen into the trap designed by Xiong Zhiyang happened.
Just as Zhou Yu walked into the Public Security Bureau to report Xiong Zhiyang’s criminal behavior, Wu Zhi drove Wu Shuqi to Xiong Zhiyang’s home. The two police officers were going to take Xiong Tong to the Criminal Investigation Bureau for interrogation because they suspected that the “7.18” poisoning case was directly related to Xiong Tong.
When they arrived at the door of Xiong Zhiyang’s house, Wu Shuqi knocked on the door and saw Xiong Tong, who had a wooden expression and a trembling body. She thought that the child probably already knew the purpose of the police’s visit, right?
Xiong Tong shook his head.
Wu Zhi carefully looked at each room and did not see Xiong Zhiyang.
Wu Shuqi only asked the child to come to the Public Security Bureau with them and did not tell the child why they were taking him away. They did not want to give the child even greater pressure at this time. They did not handcuff the child because they felt it was not necessary.
She was worried that Xiong Zhiyang, who was already at the end of his rope, would come to find Li Yuehua, and Li Yuehua would be in great danger, so she asked Sun Rumin to immediately organize police forces to rush to Li Yuehua’s residence and provide him with strict protection. She and Wu Zhi would also immediately turn the car around and go to the park where Li Yuehua lived.
Wu Shuqi was not wrong. At this time, Xiong Zhiyang was coming to find Li Yuehua with a dagger. He was determined to end Li Yuehua’s life today.
Why was he in such a hurry to take Li Yuehua’s life?
There are two reasons: First, he believes that his life is about to end. In order to prevent Li Yuehua from threatening and harming his son, or even reporting to the police that his son is a suspect in the “7.18” poisoning case – he believes that Li Yuehua may have already reported his son to the police, possibly because Li Yuehua is only relying on conjecture, but the fact that he has not reported it now does not mean that he will not report it in the future – he must let Li Yuehua live behind him and eliminate future troubles;
Second, he instructed Zhang Wei and Ding Junfei to kill Guan Qi, and then designed to poison Zhang Wei and Ding Junfei. After the case occurred, he found that the police had come to him. He suspected that the police had already mastered his evidence of the crime. The police were here to arrest him. He would never allow Li Yuehua to still be alive before he was arrested.
He originally planned to use Zhou Yu’s knife to kill Li Yuehua, but later he discovered that he was too optimistic. Zhou Yu was a coward who did not dare to poison or kill Li Yuehua at all and would only do superficial work to perfunctorily deal with him.
Later, he couldn’t even get through to Zhou Yu’s phone, so he suspected that Zhou Yu might have hidden somewhere.
