The entire affair was making a huge splash, and the judicial authorities were also re-examining the case.
Regarding Jia Dongxu's death, Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill had archival records.
The police station directly accessed some of the archives to give Bang Geng a clearer understanding of Jia Dongxu's true cause of death.
According to the archival records, the situation at the time was as follows.
During the production process, Yi Zhonghai instructed Jia Dongxu to fetch materials.
The required materials were a type of circular steel pipe.
Steel pipes are rolling materials, prone to violent rolling and scattering in uncontrolled directions.
According to normal operating procedures, an iron hook should be used to retrieve a steel pipe from the storage area.
Jia Dongxu, in his haste to save trouble, did not use the iron hook and instead reached out with his hand to take a steel pipe.
As Jia Dongxu took a steel pipe from the bottom, a large pile of steel pipes stacked in the warehouse collapsed, burying him underneath.
The steel pipes used in the heavy industry workshop were not the hollow iron pipes used on construction sites.
They were a type of processed material, and although each piece was only two meters long, its standard weight was 100 kilograms!
An adult man could not lift them. They were usually rolled directly into the production workshop.
Then, several workers would work together to lift the materials onto the operating table.
The materials in the warehouse collapsed, and Jia Dongxu was crushed by several heavy steel pipes.
When his fellow workers rushed to the workshop, Jia Dongxu was already severely injured and in shock. He could not be revived even after being sent to the hospital.
Ultimately, he breathed his last.
"I don't believe it. These materials were deliberately fabricated by Yi Zhonghai to trick me!"
After personally seeing the materials, Bang Geng still refused to back down.
Qin Huairu tearfully said, "My child, what do you want? Mom is begging you, can you stop making trouble?"
Qin Huairu had been beaten by Bang Geng and had a miscarriage, and was still lying on a hospital bed.
Bang Geng was in the same ward as her, occupying two different beds.
Bang Geng replied with a grim expression, "You divorce Yi Zhonghai immediately, or I will beat you every time I see you from now on!"
Qin Huairu thought for a moment and replied, "Bang Geng, will this work?"
"I will temporarily take Xiaodang and Xiaohuahua back to live at Jia's house!"
"Regarding the divorce, I need to discuss it with Yi Zhonghai before we can complete the formalities!"
"Otherwise, if I go to get the divorce certificate by myself, it won't be processed!"
Bang Geng sternly retorted, "Then I'll give you one month. You must divorce Yi Zhonghai within a month!"
"Okay, I promise!"
Qin Huairu was now completely accommodating Bang Geng.
The doctor had told Qin Huairu that Bang Geng's emotions were on the verge of collapse.
If his emotions completely broke down, he would become mentally ill.
The doctor believed that Bang Geng's condition was caused by extreme shock and stimulation, and advised Qin Huairu not to provoke him further.
Therefore, Qin Huairu was now showering Bang Geng with all sorts of care.
Between Yi Zhonghai and Bang Geng, who held more importance in Qin Huairu's heart?
This question could be answered with one's toes.
Even if Yi Zhonghai were doubled, he would not weigh as much as Bang Geng in Qin Huairu's heart, this was beyond doubt.
Qin Huairu had gotten together with Yi Zhonghai for money.
Although they had been secretly intimate for many years, it was all an exchange of benefits, each taking what they needed.
But with Bang Geng, it was different. Bang Geng was Qin Huairu's greatest "hope."
For years, Qin Huairu had endured humiliation and exploitation at the Jia family, constantly bullied and overworked by Jia Zhangshi.
One of the main reasons was that she wanted to raise Bang Geng to adulthood.
Now Qin Huairu knew that the conflict between Bang Geng and Yi Zhonghai had reached an irreconcilable point.
She would have to make a "choice" between the two.
In fact, this point had been obvious for a long time.
From the day Bang Geng and Yi Zhonghai had their conflict, Qin Huairu had sided with Bang Geng the entire time.
However, while appeasing Bang Geng now, Qin Huairu absolutely could not completely disregard Yi Zhonghai's life.
During Qin Huairu's eight months of pregnancy, Yi Zhonghai had given her 100 yuan in living expenses each month.
She had received 800 yuan in eight months, and now the fetus in Qin Huairu's womb was gone.
Yi Zhonghai's hope of continuing his lineage was gone. If Qin Huairu divorced him now, Yi Zhonghai would truly lose both money and his future.
Silly Zhu was still in prison. If Qin Huairu pushed Yi Zhonghai to the point of desperation, who would protect them, a widow and her children?
...
One afternoon, Liu Kai Xuan returned home from work and found Zhao Feiyan chatting animatedly with a group of women in the courtyard. He joined them to listen.
Zhao Feiyan held Liu Xin Xue herself, while Wang Yun E helped hold Liu Xin Hu.
After Liu Kai Xuan arrived, he first thanked Wang Yun E and took his son Xiao Hu Zi from her arms.
Meanwhile, the other group was in the midst of a lively conversation.
"Ah, this is truly a sin!"
"The whole world now knows that Jia Dongxu was killed by Yi Zhonghai!"
"It's a pity that Yi Zhonghai himself refuses to admit it, and we don't have any evidence. Isn't that infuriating?"
"Who isn't saying so?"
"I've seen through him completely now. How many years has this old Yi Zhonghai been deceiving us? His true colors are finally showing!"
"What's the use of you saying this now?"
"Yi Zhonghai is still walking free!"
"May heaven have no eyes and strike this old dog dead with a lightning bolt!"
"This is truly a case of good people not living long, while villains live for a thousand years!"
"Just you wait and see, this old mule Yi Zhonghai will not have a good end!"
"Oh, and that slut Qin Huairu will also definitely not have a good end!"
The content of the conversation among the group of women held no interest for Liu Kai Xuan.
Liu Kai Xuan was too lazy to join in the fun and went home with Xiao Hu.
Zhao Feiyan called out from behind, "Honey, wait for me!"
Catching up, Zhao Feiyan said, "Honey, if you don't like me chatting with them, I won't go anymore!"
"No, no!"
Liu Kai Xuan repeatedly shook his head and smiled, "It's just that I don't like joining in the fun myself!"
"You spend all day at home taking care of the children and doing housework, it's already very dull!"
"It's good to go out and chat and relax occasionally!"
At this moment, Zhao Feiyan lowered her voice and said, "Honey, I heard Li Xing Gai and some others say!"
"Yi Zhonghai has already planned to get rid of this scoundrel Bang Geng!"
"Li Xing Gai wants to organize us all to unite and supervise this beastly old man Yi Zhonghai!"
"Should I get involved in this matter?"
