Chapter 179 - 119: A Terrible Thing! Sir’s Righteousness?

Chapter 179: Chapter 119: A Terrible Thing! Sir’s Righteousness?

Zhang Lin naturally knew why the tourists had fallen silent. He even felt a similar way. Unfortunately, his first priority was to ensure the farm wasn’t affected. If this had happened outside the farm, perhaps he too could have watched coldly as Liu Jianming raised his knife. But not inside his farm.

Seeing the old woman freed, Ma Ling and Peng Yan’s faces lit up with joy. They rushed forward to comfort her.

Then, Peng Yan and Ma Ling stepped forward and said something that shocked everyone.

Peng Yan said, "Liu Jianming, you’re right, we planned this. So what? We were just trying to figure out how to get Ma Ling to divorce you. Now that you’re going to prison, you’ve saved us the trouble!"

Ma Ling added, "I wasn’t going to tell you, but it doesn’t matter now. The twins aren’t your children at all. If I hadn’t gotten pregnant and been unable to hide it, do you think I would have chosen to marry you?"

The old woman also breathed a sigh of relief, happy to see Liu Jianming restrained.

Her son had been poisoned in an accident and could no longer have children; his wife had even divorced him. She was truly overjoyed when she learned Ma Ling’s twins were her son’s. Now everything was fine. No matter what reasons Liu Jianming had, this time he was going to prison.

’I can finally bring my twin grandsons home.’

She had longed to hold her grandsons for a very long time.

These words instantly caused an uproar. No one could have imagined that people could be so shameless and disgusting.

Hearing this, Zhang Lin felt the blood rush to his head. He had the urge to tell the security guards to let Liu Jianming go and give him back the dagger.

Without a doubt, Liu Jianming was what the internet would call an "honest man"—a very pitiful honest man, one who had been driven to complete despair.

But just then, Liu Jianming began to laugh maniacally. "Hehehe... I’m going to prison, all right. And I’ll probably face execution. You think you can live happily ever after without me? Haha! I already got a paternity test. I know the twins aren’t mine."

"Ma Ling, your parents knew about this too, didn’t they? So, before I came here, I sent the two kids over to their grandpa and grandma’s house. Then I left more than a dozen bloody holes in each of them. After that, I burned down my house and your parents’ house. And Peng Yan, I burned your car and your house too. I drove all night to get here. Aren’t you surprised? Hahaha!"

Hearing this, Ma Ling, Peng Yan, and the old woman all froze.

Then, the old woman’s head lolled to the side, and she fainted.

Ma Ling stared in disbelief, her eyes wide, before she too passed out.

Only Peng Yan remained conscious, his face a mask of disbelief. He tried to rush at Liu Jianming, screaming viciously, "You’re lying! You’re lying to me! You’re lying..."

His blood boiling, he even tried to pick up the knife Liu Jianming had dropped.

Unfortunately for him, he was stopped by the other security guard and pinned to the ground.

This sudden reversal caught the surrounding tourists completely off guard. Then, one by one, they began to clap, the applause growing louder and more fervent.

Zhang Lin was stunned by this conclusion. He sighed silently. This was undoubtedly a tragedy.

He recalled recently scrolling past a news story about a man who killed his wife and her entire family. Even the arresting officers, after hearing his story, had lit a cigarette for him. He never thought he would encounter something like that in person.

This was one of society’s twisted phenomena: bully a good, simple man, push him past his breaking point, and the consequences will be unimaginable.

Hearing the applause, Zhang Lin sighed again. ’Tomorrow, when the news breaks,’ he thought, ’there will probably be countless comments calling it ’an act of great justice’.’

’Perhaps it really is an act of great justice. Once this news gets out, it might make some people behave themselves a little better, or at least not be so brazenly shameless.’

Word of what happened at the visitor center spread quickly to the rest of the farm, and people started gathering. However, the police also arrived swiftly, as a tourist had called them at the very beginning.

Liu Jianming and Peng Yan were both taken away, while the old woman and Ma Ling were sent to the hospital.

Just as Zhang Lin had expected, the incident quickly made the news. It wasn’t just about what happened at the farm, but also what Liu Jianming had done back in his hometown. Li Yuan Farm was already a hot topic, and with the strong public interest in this story, the incident hit the trending lists by that afternoon. There was no need to wait for tomorrow.

And just as he’d thought, in the news clips, the four words "an act of great justice" floated across the screen.

The law did not permit Liu Jianming’s actions, but public opinion clearly supported him. It was a pity that in breaking the law to punish the wretched couple, he had also destroyed himself and would lose his own life.

This incident also served as a wake-up call for the farm: they needed to reconsider their security measures.

If Liu Jianming had started stabbing people indiscriminately with that dagger today, the farm would have truly suffered a disaster, just as the System had warned.

Therefore, he decided to add a screening process at the entrance. No weapons, such as knives, would be allowed inside.

And it wasn’t just Li Yuan Farm.

The authorities in You City were also startled, especially people like Liu County and Zhao Han. They knew how important Li Yuan Farm was to You City, and they knew what would have happened if someone had died at the farm today.

Li Yuan Farm would have been forced to close for inspection for some time, which would have had a huge impact.

Liu County hurriedly summoned Zhao Han to his office. "We were lucky today. Otherwise, it would have been a disaster. In modern society, any kind of bizarre thing can happen."

"Yes, sir," Zhao Han agreed with a nod.

They had both been briefed on the case. All they could say was that it was tragic, lamentable, and pitiful. The real pity was the twin children. They were probably still calling the murderer ’Dad’ as they died, maybe even running up to him for a hug.
