"Huadu News reports that a shocking twist has occurred in the case of Cheng Quan Group Chairman Cheng Kai, with his wife Wan Manyu identified as the real killer…"
Instantly, major news outlets across Huadu were reporting the latest developments in the Cheng Kai case…
"My heavens, it was his wife who killed him…"
"Someone upstairs, clarify! It was an accidental death! Accidental!"
"I saw the video, this is irrefutable evidence, this case has seen a reversal…"
"I'm so angry, looking at the video, Cheng Kai was domestically abusing Wan Manyu, so killing him is deserved…"
"I agree with the lady upstairs. This Cheng Kai is truly not human, and there were previous records of domestic violence! So, based on my deductions, it was precisely because Cheng Kai treated Wan Manyu poorly that she contacted her ex-boyfriend!"
"Objectively speaking, although the woman's infidelity is also wrong, the man is no better. Judging by his gossip news, he's definitely a super scumbag, and his death is well-deserved, not deserving of sympathy…"
"Exactly, and it was self-defense by the woman. The other party fell and then pressed down on himself, so his death cannot be blamed on others…"
At this moment, on the Douyin platform, a Huadu News account reported on the Cheng Kai case. The police also provided the original video, a ten-second clip of Cheng Kai falling and Wan Manyu accidentally killing him, which led to countless netizens commenting and leaving messages, all pleading for leniency for Wan Manyu and requesting a lighter sentence…
"How could this happen…"
At this moment, at his second brother's house, Wan Dongming, who had just returned from work and learned of the matter, found it hard to accept. Wan Yunting, who had also just arrived, was smoking a cigarette and sighing, "The evidence is conclusive, and even if I plead with Director Pang, it will be useless. Therefore, my eldest sister and Hou Bing are destined to pay the price for this Cheng Kai incident."
"Then how will they be sentenced?"
Wan Dongming glared and said, "Third brother, you must help eldest sister and them!"
"I know." Wan Yunting nodded and said, "I have already found Lawyer Chi this afternoon, and he will strive for leniency for eldest sister and Hou Bing."
"That's good then."
Wan Dongming nodded, then looked over to where Wang Chulin was feeding Wan'er. He sighed, "What will Wan'er do in the future?"
"Second Uncle, Third Uncle…"
Wan'er ran over, leaped onto Wan Yunting's lap, and asked with a smile, "When is my mommy coming back? Wan'er misses her."
These words made Wan Yunting and his brother feel immense pain. He picked up Wan'er and smiled, "Wan'er, be good. Your mommy is out handling some matters and might take a long time to return…"
"How long is a long time?" Wan'er asked.
Wan Yunting and Wan Dongming paused, exchanging glances. However, Wan'er pouted and was about to cry, "Third Uncle, why isn't Mommy coming back? Doesn't she want Wan'er anymore? Sob sob… Wan'er will be good and listen to her from now on, I won't make her angry anymore. I want mommy…"
Seeing Wan'er cry so pitifully, Wan Yunting and Wan Dongming were heartbroken. Wang Chulin, on the side, had already teared up and quickly went to hug and comfort Wan'er, "Wan'er, be good, how could your mommy not want you? She's just out on business, she'll be back soon."
"No, I want mommy right now…"
Wan'er cried out, leaving Wan Yunting and the others helpless but to continuously comfort her, lying that her mommy would be back soon…
"What is to be done…"
Wan Dongming sighed as he watched Wang Chulin take Wan'er away.
"Second brother, let second sister-in-law take care of Wan'er for now," Wan Yunting said.
"I know."
This was natural, but the brothers dared not think about what Wan'er would do in the future…
Wan Yunting planned to stay at his second brother's house tonight. After a call with Su Ke'er, Wang Chulin had already coaxed Wan'er to sleep and was sitting on the living room sofa, discussing fetching Wan'er's clothes and necessities from their home tomorrow…
"Third brother, you can sleep in the room next to Wan'er's on the second floor."
Seeing Wan Yunting come in, Wan Dongming said.
"I'll sleep in Wan'er's room tonight," Wan Yunting said. His niece preferred to be with him, so he would accompany her tonight and take care of her.
"Alright, it's late, let's go to bed then."
Wan Dongming and Wang Chulin nodded. Wan Yunting headed upstairs, but his phone rang. Seeing that it was Fang Yanxi calling, Wan Yunting paused before going to the balcony on the second floor to answer, "Yanxi, you're not asleep yet at this late hour?"
"Mm, not yet."
At home, leaning against the headboard, Fang Yanxi said, "I heard about your sister's situation, are you alright?"
"I'm okay."
Wan Yunting forced a smile and said, "Thank you."
Fang Yanxi waved her hand and asked, "How are the police sentencing your sister?"
"It's not clear yet. Although the evidence is favorable to them, the final verdict is in the court's hands," Wan Yunting replied.
"I see."
Fang Yanxi nodded. After asking about this matter, she suddenly didn't know what else to say.
"Don't worry, my sister and the others will be fine," Wan Yunting said with a smile.
"Mm…"
"Mommy… sob sob…"
Suddenly, Wan'er's crying could be heard from the room. Wan Yunting quickly said to Fang Yanxi, "Excuse me, Yanxi, my niece is awake, I need to check on her."
"Oh, okay…"
"Goodnight…"
After speaking, Wan Yunting hung up and rushed to Wan'er's room…
Leaning against the headboard, Fang Yanxi stared blankly at her phone screen displaying Wan Yunting's name…
Ever since she met Wan Yunting and Su Ke'er together at Sister Zhen's clay pot rice restaurant last time and learned about their romantic relationship, Fang Yanxi had not contacted him proactively.
She had indeed called Wan Yunting because of Wan Manyu's situation, wanting to comfort him.
However, deep down, Fang Yanxi still couldn't let go of this man…
The next morning, Wan Yunting woke up to find Wan'er asleep in his arms, with tear stains still on her face…
This poor child had woken up several times last night, crying and asking for her mother, making Wan Yunting's heart ache.
After a while, Wan'er also woke up. Wan Yunting gently stroked her little face, "You're awake."
"Third Uncle, is my mommy back?" This was the first question Wan'er asked upon waking.
Wan Yunting's heart ached. He forced a smile and comforted her, "Your mommy is not back yet…"
Wan'er immediately started crying again, feeling wronged, "I want mommy…"
Just then, there was a knock on the door. "Third brother, bring Wan'er out."
So Wan Yunting came out, carrying the crying Wan'er. Wang Chulin then comforted her, "Alright Wan'er, stop crying. How about Second Auntie taking you to wash up and eat breakfast…"
"Sob sob, I want mommy…"
Wan'er cried and fussed, and Wang Chulin was at a loss. In the end, Wan Yunting brushed her teeth, washed her face, and changed her clothes…
"Third brother, Wan'er seems to like you more."
Wang Chulin and Wan Dongming watched as he carefully combed Wan'er's hair. She had been making a scene earlier, but Wan Yunting calmed her down with a few comforting words.
"Third brother, why don't you move in with us? It would be convenient for taking care of Wan'er," Wan Dongming said. Wang Chulin also agreed.
"Mm, I'll pack my things and move in later."
Wan Yunting did not refuse. After all, it was a special situation now, and everything had to revolve around Wan'er…
