Chapter 307: The truth is out. (3)
As it turned out, the young man that Feng Zeyu had beaten up back then was the son of this plant manager. The one that was hit by a car and was killed was the son of one of the managers at this factory and the girl, who had spoken up and accused Feng Zeyu, was the daughter of one of the employees.
What surprised Shu Yan was that the girl who insisted that Feng Zeyu was at fault had also stood up and admitted fault. She had further volunteered to be a witness in court and also apologized publicly to Feng Zeyu on the newspaper.
Feng Zeyu was as surprised as Shu Yan. He hadn’t expected that Yin Xueqin would speak up for him.
“Brother Feng, the man we spent to contact Yin Xueqin had reported back. She said she would like to meet up with you.”
“Meet up with me? That won’t be necessary.” Feng Zeyu declined right away.
“She said she was about to depart City Nan to a farther away place. You might never have the chance to meet again. As such, she would like to meet up with you and apologize to you in person.”
“Tell her that I did not regret saving her. It’s over now that she had apologized.”
She was just a teenage girl back then. Having something like that happened to her and being threatened, Feng Zeyu could understand why she chose to remain silent. It was the few rich teenagers that thought of themselves as above the law just because their families were rich that he was mad at.
Many pointed at him as they talked when Feng Zeyu returned home with a basket of fruit. He was taken aback a little. Many gossiped about him behind his back but very few would do that in such an open manner. What happened today?
He figured out what it was by the time he reached the end of the block.
A very beautiful woman was kneeling on the corner of the street with a sign raised over her head. He could tell from just one look that she was Yin Xueqin.
“What are you doing?” Feng Zeyu frowned.
“Hi, I am the girl that you saved back then. I am sorry.” Tears came pouring down her face all of a sudden. “I, I was too scared back then. Those scums came to my house to threaten me. They said that they would never leave my family alone if I dare to speak the truth in court. I can’t bring my parents down with me, so… I’m sorry! I had wanted to apologize to you all along but I didn’t have the courage to. There is a god after all and all of these scums got what they deserved. I, I know it’s late but I still wanted to apologize to you. I am sorry.”
“You get up first.”
“Will you forgive me?” The woman covered up her face and cried. “I dreamed about that day every night. I had never had a peaceful day since that day. I…”
“No, stop. It’s all my fault. Xueqin wanted to testify in court. It was me who wouldn’t let her.” Xueqin’s mother came running over, put her arms around her daughter and cried. “We all got what we deserved. Look what is happening now.”
“Mom.”
“We are sorry. We have wronged you so!”
“I accept your apology.” Feng Zeyu looked at Yin Xueqin and said, “Try to make the best out of the rest of your live.”
Neighbor #1, “Whatever does that mean? Feng Zeyu really went to jail for saving someone? He was innocent all along?”
Neighbor #2: “Yeah, he is innocent. It’s on the newspaper, didn’t you see?
Neighbor #4: “Aiya, you mean I had wronged him all these years?”
Neighbor #5: “Not just you. Everyone in the nearby towns as well. Come to think of it, everybody believed Feng Zeyu at the beginning. It was his stepmother who came to badmouth him day in and day out. Overtime, everybody thought that he went to jail for committing murder.”
Neighbor #6: “Sure enough, if there’s a stepdad, there’s a stepmother.”
Neighbor #1: “Right? He was obviously a hero. Look what his stepmom had done to him. Aye!”
With the drama brought about by Yin Xueqin, Feng Zeyu’s name was finally cleared.
“Good. Good. The truth had finally come out. Our Xiao Yu is such a nice man and was ruined by those other people. We must have a good meal today to celebrate.” The old grandmother was very happy.
