The news of Zhao Mingfang's robbery in the neighbouring city quickly spread back to the city committee compound.
All her money and food supplies were stolen, her person was violated by bandits, and her legs were broken because she resisted. The story was detailed to the point of being vivid, as if told by eyewitnesses.
Feng Qingxue felt a sense of relief, an instance of the culprit suffering from his own actions.
She knew that it must have been Shen Feihong who acted. Apart from him, no one else was capable. If the Zhang family had this audacity, Zhang Yi would not be forced to run away from home, both to avoid seeing Zhou Yulan marry someone else and to steer clear of Zhao Mingfang, an irritation who stuck around like glue.
As she thought this, others began suspecting the same. Officers from the Public Security Bureau promptly started investigating Shen Feihong.
Zhao Yide reported the crime and pointed the finger at Shen Feihong.
