It's not hard to guess how Li Weian got out.

With such a vast network of connections at home, getting a medical certificate was just a piece of cake, wasn't it?

Just like that.

After spending two years in prison, Li Weian returned to Yang'an City.

Soon.

With his mother's support, he started a company.

In a short time, the company began to grow and has now become a giant of sorts.

However, Li Weian wasn't content.

During his unauthorized medical parole.

He committed another heinous crime and still roamed free as if nothing happened; it was simply unimaginable.

Then came.

The entire process of Ren Qing'an being wrongfully accused.

After escaping the fire.

The first thing Ren Qing'an did was call the police.

Soon after, he was taken to the hospital for emergency treatment.

Luckily, the stab missed his heart, otherwise, he would have died then.

However, things did not develop logically.

When he woke up from the hospital bed, the police informed him that he was arrested on suspicion of intentional murder.

Li Weian had extensive connections.

He bribed Liu Xijie's brother, Lin Shuangxi, compensating him with a large sum of money to spread rumors that Ren Qing'an had conflicts with the Liu Family over dowry issues.

This gave him a motive for murder.

Next.

He bribed villagers to testify that they saw him escaping from the scene.

Thus, he also had eyewitnesses.

Aside from this.

The knife he used to save himself also bore his fingerprints.

The police identified it as the murder weapon.

Just like that.

With "cooperation" from multiple sides.

A complete chain of evidence was formed, leading him, a victim, to be framed as the murderer.

"I heard you were sentenced to death back then, how did you end up in a mental institution?"

Chen Fang asked.

Ren Qing'an sighed.

He said, "After being detained in the jail, I was in despair. I even thought about ending it all, but then I thought, if I died, wouldn't Xijie and the others have died in vain? So I figured if Li Weian could get out on medical parole, why couldn't I feign illness?"

From that day, Ren Qing'an started pretending to be insane.

He acted erratically, often getting into conflicts with other inmates.

He stripped naked and danced wildly, refused to eat or drink. To convince more people, he even dug into the toilet pit and stuffed the filth into his mouth.

Of course.

In such a situation.

Everyone knew that Ren Qing'an was likely pretending.

Here, I must mention his old leader in Jindu City—the city committee member, standing member, and Deputy Mayor Liang Guangcai.

During his time working at the city government.

Due to his diligent work, Ren Qing'an earned Liang Guangcai's favor.

When Ren Qing'an applied to leave the city government, Liang Guangcai even personally spoke with him, hoping to retain this promising young man.

However, for the sake of marriage.

Ren Qing'an ultimately chose to leave.

Upon learning of Ren Qing'an's situation.

Liang Guangcai used his power to intervene in Ren Qing'an's mental evaluation.

Just like that.

Ren Qing'an saved his life.

Ultimately, he was sent to the Yang'an City Mental Hospital for "treatment".

At this point.

He looked a bit sorrowful.

Muttering, "Because he helped me, Vice Liang also suffered retaliation. Half a year later, he was transferred to the city political consultative conference to serve as vice-chairman, effectively destroying his career path because of me."

This shows.

The forces behind Li Weian are indeed very powerful.

After the case occurred.

Ren Qing'an's family also went through huge changes.

His parents were ostracized and couldn't survive in the village.

His father died of illness.

His mother also drank pesticides and passed away.

His remaining sister is now missing too.

Two good families fell into a bottomless abyss, never to see daylight again.

To prevent Ren Qing'an from overturning the case.

Li Weian's protectors not only used their connections to delete all files related to Ren Qing'an but also bribed the village chief of Pinghu Village to have them drive away anyone trying to find Ren Qing'an.

Of course.

Ren Qing'an's days in the mental hospital weren't easy either.

Zheng Changliang was one of the accomplices.

He specially arranged for people to monitor Ren Qing'an 24 hours a day.

Not giving food or clothes became the norm.

They wanted to use this method to force Ren Qing'an to "die naturally."

Once he's dead.

This matter would forever sink into oblivion, never to be turned around again.

Hearing this.

Chen Fang looked towards Zheng Changliang, who was curled up in the corner.

Zheng Changliang also felt Chen Fang's anger and murderous intent.

He waved his hand repeatedly and said in horror, "It's not my business, it's not my business, you heard it too, Li Weian has extensive connections. If I didn't do as he said, I might not even be able to remain the director."

Chen Fang sneered, "So you're aiding and abetting the perpetrator?"

"How can you call it aiding and abetting? I had no choice, I was coerced too..."

"Didn't you receive a single penny?"

Chen Fang's question left Zheng Changliang speechless.

He swallowed and said, "Buddy, I don't know who you are, nor do I care who you are, but as an insider, I'll advise you kindly—You can't afford to provoke Li Weian. Ren Qing'an is already like this. Don't risk your life for so-called brotherly loyalty. It's not worth it... really not worth it..."

Chen Fang slowly stood up.

He walked over and squatted in front of Zheng Changliang.

Zheng Changliang thought he was going to hit him.

He instantly shielded his head with his hands.

"Don't worry, I won't beat you, because hitting you won't solve the problem. So, tell me, where is Li Weian?"

"I... I don't know! How would I know where he is?"

Zheng Changliang instinctively argued.

"You don't know? So you're ready to kill? Otherwise, where did these drugs come from?"

Chen Fang flipped his hand.

The pill from earlier appeared in his palm again.

Zheng Changliang put on a defiant look.

Chen Fang grabbed his mouth.

He was about to stuff the pill in.

Zheng Changliang struggled in vain.

Finally, he gave in.

He kept shouting, "I'll talk, I'll talk..."

Just as Chen Fang let go and Zheng Changliang was about to reveal Li Weian's whereabouts.

Footsteps rapidly echoed down the corridor.

From the sound of it, quite a few people were approaching.

During this brief moment of distraction.

Zheng Changliang pushed Chen Fang aside, stood up, and ran to the door.

Simultaneously.

The people at the door arrived.

A swarm of more than a dozen people.

Leading them was a woman.

None other than Li Weian's subordinate, "Pepper".

She truly lived up to her name.

Pepper, this woman, not only was expressionless, but her figure was also quite enticing.
