CHAPTER 682: CHAPTER 677: IF I HAD KNOWN EARLIER, I WOULDN’T HAVE DONE IT

Bai Jing looked at Captain Huang at the police station and listened to what they were saying. Her face went ashen immediately. She had carefully calculated and deliberately chosen this time for her actions, thinking the streets would be less crowded and no one would see her. She didn’t expect that Fang Pingying had been prepared all along, waiting for her.

After realizing this, Bai Jing pointed at Fang Pingying with a pale face, "Fang Pingying, you are despicable."

"The murderer calling someone else despicable, that’s really funny." Fang Pingying sneered, and seeing that the situation was mostly settled, she didn’t bother with further words. These matters were for others to deal with, but she couldn’t help wondering and said to Bai Jing, "Bai Jing, I really can’t comprehend why you hate me so much. Frankly, we have no deep grudges. Why did you have to bring yourself to this state?"

Speaking of which, Bai Jing was filled with such hatred that she gritted her teeth. Her hatred went back a long way, back to when she was with Zhou Guangsheng, and during her time when she liked Luo Zhiyong.

At this moment, there was nothing left for her to hide. She looked at Luo Zhiyong with a hint of obsession, then almost through clenched teeth said to Fang Pingying, "Fang Pingying, if not for you, maybe Luo Zhiyong would have accepted me long ago. How wonderful it would be if Zhiyong and I were together, then none of the subsequent events would have happened, my life has been ruined by you."

Fang Pingying did not expect that even now, Bai Jing still harbored improper feelings for Luo Zhiyong.

She remained silent, just glancing at Luo Zhiyong with a hint of a smile, this man truly had no small charm.

After hearing Bai Jing’s words, Luo Zhiyong felt that Bai Jing’s affection for him was almost an insult. He looked at Bai Jing sternly, "Bai Jing, when I met you, you and Guangsheng were already married. What made you think that I, Luo Zhiyong, would accept a married woman?"

He paused, and then with a slight disdain in his tone, he continued, "Moreover, Bai Jing, with your kind of character, let alone a married woman, even if you were pure and innocent, I, Luo Zhiyong, would not fancy you."

"You..." Bai Jing had never been despised like this before; she was so angry she couldn’t speak, and at this point, she had nothing more to say.

Captain Huang, who was quite astute, knowing this topic was quite sensitive, saw that they had said enough and intervened, "Alright, don’t talk so much. It’s getting late. Anyway, we have both the testimony and the evidence, this case will be easy to handle."

He gestured to his officers to take Bai Jing away, then he said to Fang Pingying, "Sister Fang, come to the police station tomorrow and give a statement. Even if it’s not judged as premeditated murder, attempted murder should certainly hold."

Bai Jing, who was initially following the police station’s personnel, completely collapsed on the floor when she heard these two charges, refusing to move any further.

She sat on the ground, looking near breakdown, trying to break free from the two police officers while shouting, "I don’t want to go to prison, let me go."

Captain Huang, probably used to seeing the expressions of criminals after wrongdoing, wasn’t surprised, and just said, "Not going to prison is impossible, we’ll just have to see how the judge rules, it’s only a matter of how long."

After that, he signaled his officers to take her away.

Fang Pingying and Luo Zhiyong, seeing the situation resolved, were also planning to go home.

But they hadn’t gone far when suddenly Fang Pingying heard a weak voice from behind, "Fang Pingying, I beg you, please let me go. I promise I will never bother your family again, I’ll leave this city,"

This was the first time Fang Pingying saw Bai Jing willing to lower her head, but it was already too late.

Without turning back, Fang Pingying just said quietly, "Had you known better earlier, why bother in the first place."

As for Bai Jing, no matter how pitiable she is, Fang Pingying could never easily forgive her. In this world, some people simply do not deserve forgiveness.

But since she had done all that she should, she would no longer interfere. She knew at this point, no one would dare cover for Bai Jing, who was bound to receive the punishment she deserved.

That she would receive her deserved punishment was enough; Fang Pingying would not do anything more.

It can be said that after dealing with Bai Jing, the Fang Family, including Zhou Guangsheng, all breathed a sigh of relief. Otherwise, who could tolerate a woman, crazy as a loon, causing trouble every now and then?

However, there are not only people like Bai Jing in this world; there are many others.

Like Zhou Yunmei and Luo Zhiming.

Ever since Zhou Yunmei and Luo Zhiming learned the true identity of Haohao, they started showing up at the Fang Family’s doorstep daily. Initially, they directly knocked on the door, much to Fang Pingying’s annoyance, leading her to call the police to drive them away.

Although Zhou Yunmei was aggressive, she still feared the Police Station somewhat. After the police warned her, she no longer dared to knock on the door; instead, she brought Luo Zhiming to wait in the street downstairs every day, eagerly asking about her grandson whenever someone from the Fang Family appeared.

One day, about half a month after Bai Jing’s case had passed, Fang Pingying and Luo Zhiyong got up early to go to work.

Luo Zhiyong had been recuperating at home for several months, and his injuries had mostly healed; he needed to go back to his military job.

This day marked Luo Zhiyong’s first day back at work after recovering, so they left early.

However, as soon as they descended, they saw Zhou Yunmei holding a paper bag at the stairwell entrance, with Luo Zhiming following behind her.

Upon seeing Luo Zhiyong, Luo Zhiming shrank back a bit; recalling how he had treated Haohao, he felt rather shamefaced.

But Zhou Yunmei, oblivious to what shame meant, immediately accosted Luo Zhiyong upon seeing him, "Zhiyong, how is Haohao?"

Ever since Zhou Yunmei had started coming, Luo Zhiyong had adopted a cold approach, hardly exchanging a word with her.

Seeing Zhou Yunmei now, all he did was frown and, pulling Fang Pingying along, attempted to bypass her.

This time, however, Zhou Yunmei changed her tactic. Seeing a few people around them watching, she blocked their way with a softened demeanor, begging them with an almost kneeling posture, "Pingying, Zhiyong, after all, we were once a family. Please, let me and Zhiming see Haohao. I bought him a lot of snacks. Just let us give him these, have a glance at him, and we will leave right away."

By now, Luo Zhiyong had seen through all of Zhou Yunmei’s tricks. She was deliberately acting this way in a public space to provoke public opinion, which would portray it as though their own son and daughter-in-law were making their mother kneel before them.

The old Luo Zhiyong might have feared such public sentiment, but having gone through so much, he was afraid of nothing anymore.

Practically with his life, he had earned Fang Pingying’s forgiveness and their family of four’s peaceful days; if he were still to fear this or that pressure, then what would have been the meaning of all his past actions.
