Super Zoo-Chapter 694 - 684 People Do, Heaven Watches
After Li Zhuangfei died, his friends received the message and opened the letter, discovering that it was actually Li Zhuangfei's suicide note. They immediately took it to the police station and also posted it on the internet.
Shen Yan's technical team, which had recently been focusing on monitoring online public opinion about the car accident, noticed the suicide note and informed lawyer Zhang Siming immediately. After cross-verifications by several parties, they confirmed the authenticity of the suicide note—it was not a prank.
The truth was laid bare. The deaths of Zhou Jing and Chen Yuan, the car accident, was indeed as the police had determined—not an accident, but a murder. Only, the culprit wasn't Suming, who had uttered harsh words before, but the driver who had caused the accident.
Upon hearing this news, Suming, Wang Hao, and the others were all left with mixed feelings of incredulity and relief.
Sometimes fate is truly magical, a lot of seemingly unrelated things can ultimately yield a result that seems impossible at first glance, but upon closer reflection, it makes perfect sense.
If Zhou Jing hadn't plotted for Yang Lin's assets and demanded to participate in the management of the travel agency, she wouldn't have met Chen Yuan; if Zhou Jing had devoted herself solely to helping Yang Lin rejuvenate the family business and honestly strived to expand the travel agency, rather than ******** scheming to embezzle money from the company, she wouldn't have tolerated Chen Yuan's collaboration with the unscrupulous tour guides, compromising the company's reputation for ill-gotten gains; if she had fulfilled her duties as a wife and adhered to moral boundaries, not having an affair with Chen Yuan, she wouldn't have been in his car that night... Moreover, if she had had a moment of conscience during that night's negotiation, willing to offer some money for Yang Lin's treatment instead of driving home with Chen Yuan thinking of ways to deal with Yang Tao, she would not have met with the car accident.
Even, even if her attitude had been slightly better that day, not spewing those nauseating words, Suming wouldn't have lost his temper and slapped her, she wouldn't have smoked to alleviate the pain on her way back, and perhaps with a clearer mind, she could have avoided that Chery...
So many small-probability events, any one thing could've altered if she had made a different choice, and perhaps the tragedy could have been avoided. But at every crossroads, she made the wrong decision, which ultimately led to the car crash that claimed her life.
Heaven provides countless paths, but some people stubbornly follow one to darkness, choosing a road to their demise.
Suming and Wang Hao were somewhat silent in the detention room, a sense of fate ordained by the heavens crept into their hearts.
"I just thought of a joke," Wang Hao said as he squatted on an unoccupied iron bed and stubbed out his cigarette. He shook his head with a laugh, "Why does God's oversight cost no money?"
A few seconds of silence followed, and Yan muttered, "I've always watched pirated versions, which cost nothing..."
Wang Hao and Yang Tao simultaneously glanced at him with contempt, then sighed together, saying in unison, "Man proposes, God disposes."
With a clank, the iron door opened and two police officers entered, coughing a few times as they were met with the strong smell of smoke filling the detention room.
"Suming, you can go now."
...
The truth was out, Suming was released, having been proven innocent.
The tightly-wound media finally started to exert their influence, reporting the truth about the North Fourth Ring Road accident.
A rogue tour guide assaulting a pregnant woman...
The travel agency evading responsibility, two lives lost from one body...
A grieving husband trading life for life...
Any one of these points was enough to spark massive attention.
Now that living conditions have improved, many families consider European tours during holidays. Encountering obligatory shopping with rogue tour guides not only results in wasted money but also ruins the mood. Many people have had similar experiences to some extent and can very much resonate with this.
Travel agencies shirking their responsibilities has also become the norm. Prior to signing the contract and paying, they treat tourists as dearly as one's own father, but once the money is paid and you're on the bus, their attitude changes drastically.
What the rogue tour guide did this time was particularly vile. The mere phrase "assaulting a pregnant woman" is enough to disgust and anger anyone with a moral baseline.
As for the enraged husband, Li Zhuangfei, who drove his car to kill the travel agency manager shirking responsibility, most people saw him as having broken the law yet found him very deserving of sympathy.
Online, some overly emotional netizens vehemently supported Li Zhuangfei's actions, considering him a modern-day hero of Liangshan, a man of true grit.
Simultaneously, the dark secrets of Sunshine Travel Agency also came to light.

The young and beautiful woman who was in the car with the deputy director of the travel agency was the financial director and also the wife of the agency's president.
The story here became even more scandalous, drawing even more attention.
The previous divorce scandal and the president of Sunshine Travel Agency's car accident were all dug up, causing gossip to spread like wildfire.
So an interesting phenomenon occurred, where the internet overwhelmingly sympathized with the murderer, and even some of the more rational and calm netizens merely thought Li Zhuangfei's actions were too extreme, but still understandable.
As for the 'victims,' Chen Yuan and Zhou Jing, criticism was unanimous.
"Adulterous scum!"
"Eating from their host's bowl, living off their host's income, and still seducing their host's wife, it's the loss of all morality!"
"That woman is no better, completely despicable."
"It's said she even hired someone to run over her husband, not just cheating but also plotting for wealth and causing death, truly a modern-day Pan Jinlian!"
"Pan Jinlian my ass, which woman could stand someone like Wu Dalang? Pan Jinlian's affair is understandable, but this woman is just pure filth and insatiably greedy."
"You've got to keep your eyes peeled when choosing a wife. Damn, this is terrifying. Lucky I don't have money..."
The speaker may not have had money, but there are many wealthy bosses. In their fifties and sixties, successful men marrying younger brides was nothing new. With this news breaking out, it left many such families with mismatched ages in panic, wealthy old men unnerved. Their once angelic young wives now seemed eerily suspicious, unsettling even their meals and sleep.
Who knew if they might drop dead after a meal or go to sleep never to wake again...
In Huaxia, the dead are revered, wrongdoings and crimes are extinguished upon death, and past sins wash away with it. But for Zhou Jing and Chen Yuan, they were exceptions, unable to rest in peace even after death, their reputations utterly ruined.
Some stores even turned this into a gimmick for promotions, banning anyone sharing the same name from shopping in their establishments...
Their relatives also suffered misfortune, unable to hold their heads high in their community.
Zhou Jing had a cousin who was about to get married, but once the groom's side learned who her sister was, they unhesitatingly called off the wedding and returned the dowry.
There was simply no way around it, marrying into that family meant never being able to hold one's head high locally.
It wasn't just a matter of dignity; it was living a life full of trepidation with no guarantee of personal safety.
After the wedding was called off, Zhou Jing's cousin's family was nearly furious to death. They went straight to Zhou Jing's grave.
They weren't there to offer incense. They came with hoes, dug up Zhou Jing's grave, and buried a pile of worn-out shoes with her ashes...
