Chapter 230
Tu Hengsha and Hao Ren’s conversation couldn’t continue because Mrs. Liu began to cry. Liu Hong’s brother returned and, seeing them, immediately tried to chase them away. When they were slow to leave, he picked up a stick and started swinging it at them.
Hao Ren protected her, retreating repeatedly from the blows until they were forced out of the Liu family home, and then the door slammed shut.
Hao Ren was furious, just a step away from kicking the door in.
In contrast to Hao Ren’s agitation, Tu Hengsha appeared much calmer. "Hao Ren, just let it go."
"What did you say?" Hao Ren thought he misheard.
"I believe that in the next few days, things will take a turn without us having to put in any effort." She squinted, as if seeing someone’s eyes in the wind, which seemed to say, "Leave this to me! There are some places you can’t go!"
"You’re so sure?" Hao Ren asked with a laugh.
Tu Hengsha turned and smiled, "Of course! The editor-in-chief said they would get to the bottom of this! I trust the editor!"
In reality, the turnaround came even faster than Tu Hengsha predicted.
In the afternoon, while they were on their way back in the car, Hao Ren stumbled across new information.
First, some new media provided substantial evidence proving that the two reporters from the Morning Light Daily did not lie. Then, chat records between Liu Hong’s in-laws and another unknown person (whose nickname was mosaicked) were exposed, showing that the family agreed to lie, and in return, the other party promised to pay them. The evidence also included reports from neighbors confirming that Liu Hong and her daughter were indeed victims of domestic violence.
