Fu Yangong had retired and flew back to Yun City early in the morning.
Sheng Congzhi followed the Shen and Gu Family members to participate in the court trial.
In the courtroom, Zheng Tongfeng confessed without reservation to crimes that occurred twenty years ago.
Shi Yiming also realized that resistance was futile and confessed everything.
The one surprise for Sheng Congzhi was that Wen Jinxin had known about the incident from twenty years ago all along, and had hidden it due to selfish reasons.
...
The hour-long trial ended with a clear verdict by the court:
Shi Yiming, who committed serious crimes including human trafficking and murder, was eventually sentenced to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole.
Gu Yunqiao was emotionally devastated, tears streaming down her face.
Even now, she found it impossible to accept that her husband—who appeared so gentle and refined on ordinary days—was a cold-blooded murderer with ulterior motives!
