Ji Chu's words shocked Wu Yueqin. She couldn't believe that the person who called her five days ago was gone just like that.

"Anchor, you...you are not kidding me, right?"

Wu Yueqin chuckled twice, trying to deceive herself with a smile, but in the eyes of the audience in the live broadcast room, this smile was uglier than crying.

Ji Chu's expression remained calm: "I'm not kidding you, your husband is indeed dead, and he deserved it. You don't have to feel sad for such a scumbag."

[The anchor rarely curses, but now he curses so fiercely, I guess this Hong Xiangming is really not a good person! ]

[He is definitely not a good person. He has 20 yuan, but he didn't tell his wife. Look at the house behind Sister Wu. It is full of mold and leaks when it rains. The 20 yuan in his hand is definitely enough to buy a house in the county, or to repair the house in his hometown, but he didn't do that. Instead, he took the money and went to the north.]

[Tsk, you are right.]

Wu Yueqin's face was pale. Although her husband was indeed unreasonable and never sent home the money he earned from working outside, after being married for so many years, she still found it hard to believe that the man beside her would be such a heinous person.

"Anchor, how did my husband... die?"

Ji Chu was silent, and after thinking for a few seconds, he said, "I didn't intend to tell you about this, but even if I didn't tell you, the police would be able to find out the truth, so there's no need for me to hide it."

"The cause of your husband Hong Xiangming's death was actually planted more than a decade ago!"

"Back then, you were not married yet. He went south to work and met a man. In order not to expose his privacy, I will give this man the pseudonym Li Wei."

"Li Wei is a genuine northerner, very enthusiastic and talkative. When he met Hong Xiangming on the bus and learned that they were going to the same construction site, he immediately invited him to travel with him."

"That was Hong Xiangming's first time working outside. He was actually very nervous because he had no experience. Fortunately, Li Wei took the initiative to take him to see the manager and fill out various identity forms, including taking care of the dormitory. This alleviated Hong Xiangming's embarrassment and saved him a lot of unnecessary trouble."

"To express his gratitude to Li Wei, Hong Xiangming treated him to a meal after receiving his first month's salary. As a result, the two became as close as brothers."

"A year passed quickly, and as the year drew to a close, construction sites stopped working and everyone had to go home for the New Year."

"When Li Wei was packing his luggage, he saw Hong Xiangming was hesitant, so he asked him why he didn't go home. Hong Xiangming said that his parents died early and there was no one at home. It would be boring to go back alone."

Hearing this, Wu Yueqin frowned slightly: "Impossible, my parents-in-law died one after another two years ago."

Ji Chu raised the corners of his lips: "Hong Xiangming lied, because he spent all the money he earned on the construction site on prostitutes and was too embarrassed to go home."

"Li Wei was unaware of this. He felt sorry for the little brother he was taking care of, so he warmly invited him to spend the New Year at his home and to come back together next year."

"Hong Xiangming thought about it and thought it was feasible, so he bought a ticket and took the train with Li Wei to his hometown."

"It was this trip home for the New Year that caused the originally deep brotherhood between Hong Xiangming and Li Wei to deteriorate!"

"Li Wei has a wife. I gave her the pseudonym Tian Honghong."

"Tian Honghong is a left-behind wife like you. She is not only beautiful, but also warm and generous like Li Wei."

"After hearing Li Wei say that he would bring a brother back to celebrate the New Year this year, she brought out the guest room and new bedding early."

"But when Hong Xiangming saw Tian Honghong, a strong feeling of love surged in his heart, especially when he saw the loving scene between Tian Honghong and Li Wei, he was so jealous that he went crazy."

Wu Yueqin covered her mouth in shock: "My husband fell in love with someone else's wife and has been pestering her for more than ten years?"

Ji Chu nodded: "Yes, but if it was just because of this, he would not die. What really killed him was what he did after he met Tian Honghong!"

"The construction site has a long holiday, and work will generally resume after the Lantern Festival."

"During the 15 days at Li Wei's house, Hong Xiangming did not put his thoughts into action. He behaved normally and successfully obtained Tian Honghong's mobile phone number under the pretext of helping his sister-in-law keep an eye on Li Wei."

"But he secretly took many photos of Tian Honghong with his mobile phone when Li Wei and Tian Honghong were not visible."

"Computers were already popular at that time, and there were many black Internet cafes of all sizes on the streets. After finishing a day's work, Hong Xiangming would often go to the Internet cafes to watch some action movies."

"After the construction started, he asked the network administrator in the internet cafe who had some computer skills to help him edit many nude photos of Tian Honghong."

"Those photos were of very low quality and you could tell at a glance that they were fake. But for the people at that time, especially the rural women, the shock was undoubtedly like Mars hitting the Earth!"

"After receiving the photos, Tian Honghong almost died of shame and anger. She never expected that her husband's brother would have such dirty thoughts towards her."

"Later, Li Wei called home several times, but Tian Honghong was always hesitant. Li Wei found something unusual and asked again and again, only to find out that Hong Xiangming had insulted his wife."

"He immediately came to Hong Xiangming's dormitory, dragged him out and beat him up. Unexpectedly, Hong Xiangming was not afraid and said in front of other workers that Li Wei's wife was a great worker. During the days he went to Li Wei's house, Tian Honghong served him very well."

"After that, he even showed the photos he had photoshopped to other people!"

"Li Wei was so angry that he punched Hong Xiangming and sent him to the hospital. He was also detained for seven days for intentional injury. When he was released, he and Hong Xiangming were both fired from the construction site!"

Ji Chu's words caused the barrage to explode, and everyone was cursing God for being blind, allowing such a bad person to win the fortune-telling qualification and make 20 yuan from it.

[What a bastard! Li Wei kindly invited him to his home, but he actually set his eyes on someone else's wife. He is such an ungrateful bastard! ]

[So, don't be too enthusiastic towards others. If you meet someone who knows how to be grateful, it's not a big deal. But if you meet someone like Hong Xiangming, you are really unlucky! ]

[Anchor, what happened next? ]

Ji Chu sighed slightly and expressed his regret: "Later, Li Wei lost his job and had to return to his hometown, but Hong Xiangming was like sticky candy and he couldn't get rid of him at all."

"He verbally threatened and harassed Tian Honghong every day, including but not limited to asking her to divorce Li Wei and marry him, and not allowing Tian Honghong to change her mobile phone number, otherwise he would kill her two sons."

"Hong Xiangming spread rumors throughout the neighborhood around Tian Honghong, saying that Tian Honghong was a slut and so on."

[Didn’t Li Wei and Tian Honghong call the police? ]

Ji Chu: "Call the police, but they should arrest Hong Xiangming and lock him up for a while before releasing him. Otherwise, he will continue to harass Li Wei and his wife."

"Later, Li Wei couldn't stand the torture anymore, so he bought a bottle of pesticide and committed suicide!"

[What? Li Wei committed suicide? ]

[Why would he commit suicide? His ability to handle stress is not as good as Tian Honghong's. After all, this incident was caused by his bad intentions, right?]
