The next morning, when Wan Tong logged into Weibo, she saw that last night’s trending topic was still there, but the hype had died down.
#Shao Heng: Is The Lipstick Sweet#
Wan Tong’s sales from last night were double what they had ever been, and the lipstick was completely sold out.
A one-minute video from Shao Heng’s confession to being chased away by Wan Tong had gone viral on Weibo.
Shao Heng’s move was even regarded as a textbook-style confession and seduction technique.
Many netizens who didn’t know the two of them were also drawn in by the video and subsequently found their Weibo accounts.
Under Shao Heng’s Weibo posts, fans were flooding the comments section with questions : [Did you taste it? Is it sweet???]
Shao Heng naturally didn’t have the time to respond, and he didn’t dare to reply, fearing that Wan Tong would get angry.
At first, Wan Tong hadn’t quite adapted to seeing Shao Heng as a man, and for several consecutive days, she would hide away in her room.
Shao Heng gave her the space to adjust her feelings, and during these days, he was also busy outside.
Firstly, his work submitted under the name “Wang Xing” had re-entered the review process. Secondly, he was investigating events from five years ago.
Although Wan Tong reduced her contact with Shao Heng, she continued to closely monitor his activities through Shishi.
He broke into Li Zhi’s apartment and almost strangling Li Zhi, which frightened Wan Tong so much that she immediately called him to calm him down.
As the sky grew darker, Shao Heng had already been kneeling in front of the tombstone for two hours.
Wan Tong sensed his troubled emotions over the phone, so she rushed over.
Seeing his silent and suppressed demeanor, she didn’t know what to say to comfort him.
He must have found something incriminating, which is why he wanted to harm Li Zhi and treated himself this way.
Shao Heng slightly tilted his head and looked at the approaching woman. His voice was hoarse, “Why did you come?”
All the evidence pointed to Li Zhi.
He had also met Li Zhi, and her arrogant and fearless demeanor confirmed it even further.
Thinking of being played like a fool by her all these years, he felt an intense hatred and wished he could torture her to death right away.
If he hadn’t been so weak five years ago, if he hadn’t been so enamored with the little favors from her…
“I guessed you might be here.” Wan Tong placed the flowers she held in her arms in front of the tombstone and respectfully bowed.
Shao Heng pursed his lips, feeling the loneliness and coldness that had enveloped his heart moments ago gradually dissipating.
She stood behind him, not needing to do anything, yet he could feel a tremendous sense of strength.
Watching Shao Heng’s tense body and bloodshot eyes, Wan Tong couldn’t hold back any longer and softly spoke, “A’Heng, go back. Your parents don’t want to see you like this. Trust me, Li Zhi will be punished.”
Shao Heng looked at her, his lips moved, but he didn’t say anything.
Of course, he would make sure Li Zhi was punished.
He couldn’t let her have a quick death.
Shao Heng stood up, but because he had been kneeling for too long, he stumbled forward.
Wan Tong quickly reached out to support him, inadvertently allowing him to hug her tightly.
“Let me hug you for a moment,” Shao Heng’s chin rested heavily on her shoulder as he murmured softly.
This time, Wan Tong didn’t push him away and even patted his back gently. “After hugging, will you go back? You still have to cook for me…”
Shao Heng looked at her and, with a lighter tone in his voice, said, “In front of my parents, you want me to cook for you?”
Wan Tong pursed her lips. “Then should I go back and make instant noodles for you?”
After hearing this, Shao Heng couldn’t help but let out a low laugh, and the icy demeanor that had shrouded his eyes seemed to melt away instantly. “Alright.”
Back in the apartment, Wan Tong did indeed cook two packets of instant noodle, but she also added the shrimp and crab that Shao Heng had bought, making it a somewhat luxurious meal.
Not long after, Li Zhi was arrested once again.
This time, the cases involving Shao Heng’s parents and Wan Tong were combined into one, and the prime suspect was Li Zhi.
The driver who caused the accident and was released from prison a year ago didn’t actually leave the country; instead, he assumed a new identity.
Before his release, the driver’s wife suddenly bought a luxury apartment in an upscale neighborhood in the name of their son who moved in together with his parents. Shortly after, the driver was released from prison, made a brief trip abroad, returned discreetly, and changed his name.
Shao Heng located the driver and had someone investigate their financial transactions. It was discovered that this family had been depositing substantial amounts, each exceeding 100,000, over the years, accumulating to nearly five million.
Strangely, when they bought the houses, most of it was paid in cash, and their bank accounts hadn’t seen significant activity.
Shao Heng didn’t hide any of this from Wan Tong, who promptly contacted a lawyer.
She was concerned about Shao Heng being too stressed, so she took on many responsibilities herself to let him rest at home.
Following Wan Tong’s advice, the police searched the residence of the drunk driver involved in the accident and the places he frequented recently. They found two million in cash hidden beneath the floor of his hometown.
The drunk driver also had a young wife and recently born twin daughters. The police frightened his wife and daughters when they entered the house. Under the pressure of anxiety, he confessed to taking money with the intention of deliberately causing an accident, killing Gu Wantong, and using drunk driving to evade responsibility.
However, when the police pressed him about who gave him the money, the drunk driver couldn’t provide a clear answer because the contact had been made through phone calls, and the person on the other end used a voice changer.
For Shao Heng’s parents case from five years ago, the driver voluntarily turned himself in and handed over a recording to the police. Therefore, the police swiftly connected the cases and arrested the suspect.
However, during Li Zhi’s interrogation, she remained confident, believing that they wouldn’t find any evidence.
The cash had all been exchanged from the system, and she hadn’t actively participated in any of it. Nevertheless, she felt deeply anxious.
Since Shao Heng took the initiative to investigate the matter, his favorability towards her continued to decrease, and he even nearly killed her. This indicated that there was no chance of repairing their relationship. She hadn’t completed any of the three tasks, and she was now entangled with the police, making her furious.
“I want to see Shao Heng; I want to accuse him of assaulting me when he broke into my house,” Li Zhi calmly demanded.
She had indeed been threatened by Shao Heng, and her neck had almost been strangled.
Regardless, if she could get him imprisoned for a few years, it would be a good outcome.
However, the police suddenly showed her a video.
In the video, she appeared in a small warehouse, and after her departure, a car and two workers arrived. The two workers loaded well-packaged boxes into the car and drove away.
The police’s words left Li Zhi feeling like she was in an icy abyss.
“These two workers are the ones who transported two million in cash to the drunk driver. They claim they received an order to deliver something, but they don’t know what it was. However, before them, only you had visited the warehouse. Now, what do you have to explain? Where did that cash come from?”
Li Zhi’s face instantly turned pale. She had clearly checked the system and confirmed there were no surveillance cameras around. Why was she caught?
“I don’t understand what you’re talking about. I just happened to pass by. Those workers weren’t called by me. Do you have direct evidence proving that the money left behind was mine?” She still denied.
“Five years ago, there was a similar incident. That was your first time, right? So, there were inevitably some oversights. Back then, you didn’t have a voice changer, and the driver was afraid you’d trick him, so he left a recording of your conversation…”
“Impossible!” Li Zhi exclaimed, jumping up in excitement, but was immediately pressed back down by the police officer beside her.
The more emotional Li Zhi became, the more flaws she revealed. From the incident with Wan Tong to the accident involving the Shao Heng’s parents, all were her handwritings. The police quickly cornered her with their questions, almost driving her insane.
Wan Tong learned about the case through Shishi and knew that the video she provided had played a role.
After all, she had obtained it from Shishi on credit.
Originally, the released driver denied everything, but Shao Heng used some underhanded tactics that scared him into revealing his misdeeds. More importantly, he still had the original recording.
After a voice comparison by the police, it was confirmed that the person who hired the killer was indeed Li Zhi.
In early September, Shao Heng started school, while Li Zhi was charged with intentional murder. When the case was reported on Weibo, it gained widespread attention due to its extremely heinous nature.
Hiring killers to murder parents, then adopting their child, and years later attempting to use the same method to kill a neighbor.
Even with the mosaic on the photo, Li Zhi’s outline could still be roughly discerned.
Everyone began to associate it with the recently popular Little Brother Shao Heng. Wasn’t the pitiful child mentioned above a bit like him?
Netizens compared the suspect’s and Li Zhi’s photos, and discovered they were the same person!
For a moment, everyone expressed sympathy for Shao Heng. Previously, they felt sorry for how his Sister treated him, but they never imagined that she was the one who had caused the death of his parents!
This Li Zhi was truly heartless.
The neighbor mentioned in the report should be referring to Gu Wantong, right? No wonder she joined forces with Shao Heng to take down Li Zhi. They were clearly looking out for each other!
While netizens kept an eye on the progress of the case, they couldn’t help but gossip about the current situation between Wan Tong and Shao Heng.
Since that night when Shao Heng confessed, Wan Tong’s livestreams had become increasingly popular, quickly surpassing some veteran streamers. She had become the real deal when it came to product promotions. However, she never addressed Shao Heng’s situation.
Moreover, Shao Heng had started school, and he would likely be living on campus. In that case, would this CP ever come to fruition?
Coincidentally, Wan Tong was live streaming. Many onlookers inquired about the case and the relationship between the two.
Wan Tong didn’t usually chat much while working, but today, seeing everyone berating Li Zhi seemed to give her a sense of satisfaction. So, she eagerly responded.
“Don’t worry, everyone. The police will ensure justice for Shao Heng. Evil will face its consequences. Shao Heng’s life is now on the right track, and we hope you all will continue to like and support him. He has truly been through a lot.”
Wan Tong finished speaking these words, feeling somewhat melancholic deep down.
The audience also sensitively picked up on something.
The anchor’s eyes were getting teary! This was clearly an expression of deep emotions!! The CP ship can still sail!
However, what everyone didn’t know was that at this very moment, Shao Heng had slipped back from school and was waiting in the living room…
