"Kai Xuan, listen to our explanation!"
"I swear, my husband has always been loyal to you!"
"Guangtian and Guangfu's betrayal was their personal behavior, they shouldn't implicate old Liu!"
"Slap!"
After being told to leave several times, the two beasts from the Liu family still lingered.
Liu Kai Xuan was too lazy to waste more words and directly swung his hand, slapping them hard.
After receiving the slap, Second Aunt finally shut up.
"Scram, scram, scram..."
Liu Haizhong was still unwilling, but Liu Kai Xuan kicked him in the stomach and forcibly kicked him out.
"Why are these two families so disgusting?"
Jiang Aiying couldn't help but sigh, "They've gone too far themselves, and they still have the nerve to talk about friendship?"
"Yeah!" Zhao Feiyan echoed, "My husband was almost killed by them!"
"When they were harming others, they didn't think about neighborly relations!"
"Now that their actions are exposed and they have to bear serious consequences, they come to talk about friendship!"
"Husband, you must not show any mercy to these beasts, it's best to send them all to prison to reflect!"
"Alright Feiyan, go sit down and rest, I'll handle this matter properly!"
At this moment, Liu Kai Xuan had already thought of a complete plan to deal with that group of beasts.
...
In the following days, a major change occurred at the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill.
Li Deya and his group of cronies were almost uprooted.
Also within this week, Yan Jiefang submitted his resignation and willingly left.
Indeed, in the course of this matter, Yan Jiefang was a complete neutral party.
He neither helped Li Deya slander Liu Kai Xuan, nor did he help Liu Kai Xuan clear his name.
At first glance, Yan Jiefang seemed to be playing both sides and offending neither.
In reality, he gained nothing from either side.
After Yan Jiecheng was taken into custody, Liu Yuqian repeatedly made things difficult for Yan Jiefang in the workshop.
He was given all the hard, tiring, and dirty jobs. Yan Jiefang couldn't hold on for more than a few days and willingly resigned.
Also within this week, Liu Haizhong experienced a rollercoaster of emotions.
His position as deputy head of the dispatch group was revoked by Yang Zheng, and he was demoted to an ordinary worker.
At this time, Liu Kai Xuan no longer had the mood to pay attention to the fate of Liu Haizhong and Yan Jiefang.
Because Li Deya's case was finally going to trial!
As the direct victim of this case, Liu Kai Xuan naturally had to appear in court in person.
The two sides went back and forth, battling in court for two days. It wasn't until the third day that the court publicly announced the verdict.
Li Deya was found guilty of defamation, rape, and abuse of power. The circumstances were serious and the impact was detrimental. Li Deya was sentenced to death in the first instance!
Chen An and Li Shuhai were core members of the crime.
Chen An was sentenced to five years in the first instance, and Li Shuhai, having surrendered, was sentenced to three years in prison.
Yan Jiecheng, Liu Guangtian, Liu Guangfu, and Wang Lecheng were accomplices, all sentenced to one year in prison!
Li Deya and Chen An expressed dissatisfaction and filed an appeal in court.
Courtyard, dusk.
In the central courtyard, a large group of women were chattering.
"Did you hear? Li Deya, the deputy director of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill, is about to be shot!"
"Yes, my husband went to the scene to observe the trial today!"
"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it was true!"
"Yes, just the day before he was a high-ranking deputy director, and now he's gone!"
"Li Deya was lawless, bullying men and women, he deserves to be shot!"
"As for those few troublemakers from the Liu and Yan families, their sentences are too light!"
"Heh, yes!"
"It's a pity they didn't send those ungrateful wretches to the execution ground with him!"
"But I heard that Liu Haizhong has lost his official position and is now as down and out as a dog!"
"No need to hear, it's true!"
"This old guy always liked to show off, didn't he? Now that his big supporter is gone, he's back to his original form!"
"Liu Haizhong deserves it, that ungrateful wretch, he's not to be pitied!"
At this moment, a voice came from outside the crowd.
Everyone looked up and saw that Jiang Aiying had also come to gossip with them.
Yan Bugui's house.
At this time, Yu Li was busy packing her things at home.
Third Aunt shamelessly leaned over to persuade her, "Yu Li, you can't be so heartless!"
"Yan Jiecheng was detained, but it's only for a year, and he'll be out soon!"
"Listen to me, don't make a scene anymore, it's not good for others to see!"
"Heh heh..."
Yu Li retorted with a cold smile, "Huang Yinglian, stop disgusting me, okay?"
"I've already written the divorce agreement. Even if Yan Jiecheng refuses to sign, what's the use?"
"In any case, I can't continue living with him!"
"Moreover, Yan Jiecheng was the one who brought up the divorce, it wasn't me forcing him!"
"Yu Li, don't rush off, listen to me explain!"
"Yan Jiecheng was really misled by Chen An this time, and now he's learned his lesson!"
"We should also give him some leniency. You and Yan Jiecheng have been married for so many years, your marital relationship is deep!"
"Divorcing over such a small matter is really not necessary!"
At this time, Yu Li had already finished packing her belongings.
She was about to leave with her things, but was blocked by Third Aunt: "Yu Li, why are you so stubborn?"
"No matter what, you absolutely cannot leave like this today!"
Yu Li, blocked by Third Aunt and unable to leave, called out to the door, "Haitang, go quickly and call Director Liu over!"
"Say that the Yan family is being hooligans and bullying me!"
Yu Haitang was standing outside the door, waiting to help Yu Li move her things.
Yu Li calling Liu Kai Xuan for help at a critical moment made Third Aunt furious.
"Yu Li, tell me honestly, what is your relationship with Liu Kai Xuan!"
"Hmph!" Yu Li retorted with a cold smile, "I knew none of you Yan family were good people!"
"You just said it was a misunderstanding, and now you're suspecting me again?"
"I..." Third Aunt shamelessly continued to ask, "Tell me honestly, what is your relationship with Liu Kai Xuan!"
"Huang Yinglian, what do you mean?"
Yu Li retorted sharply, "You're blocking me from leaving, and you won't let me find someone to uphold justice?"
"Yan Jiecheng brought up the divorce, and it's not acceptable for me to agree to it?"
