Chapter 58 – The Divorced Young Wife’s Revenge (Part 58)

Tao Ran kept the man pinned beneath her while shouting for help…

The police car was now in sight. Lu Sitong’s men didn’t dare linger. They abandoned their captured accomplice and floored the accelerator, speeding away.

Tao Ran’s gaze sharpened.

Wasn’t this just the guy she had a grudge against? She had chosen him specifically because he was the bodyguard from Tang Ran’s memory, the one who had knocked Tang Ran out on Fang Ming’s behalf, indirectly sending her to the brink of death.

Since fate had placed him here, she wasn’t about to be polite. Her main target during the scuffle had been him all along.

Seeing the flashing police lights, the man panicked.

He didn’t want to be caught. He needed to escape.

With a sudden burst of strength, he shoved Tao Ran off him. They both tumbled into a pile of rubble nearby.

Though he was skilled, luck wasn’t on his side. He had barely run a hundred meters when a passerby spotted him and reported his location to the arriving officers…

“Yes, I saw them. There were nine people in total. Leading them were Lu Sitong, heiress of Lu Corporation, and her husband, Fang Ming. Because of a recent lawsuit, they tried to kill me to silence me. Thanks to your timely arrival, they failed to murder me and attempted to kidnap me instead. I barely escaped…” Tao Ran recounted tearfully after being loaded into an ambulance.

The lawsuit had already stirred public attention. Even if Tao Ran said nothing, the first suspects in the officers’ eyes were those two.

Tao Ran was taken to the hospital for a medical examination. Doctors found fractured ribs, a sprained arm, and over a dozen bruises… The assailants’ actions were truly heinous.

Lu Sitong and Fang Ming were quickly located by the police.

They denied everything, having the nanny and driver give false testimony that they had been home all night.

The captured accomplice also claimed he acted alone, only intending to rob the woman; there was no murder or kidnapping.

Yet the next day, Lu Sitong and Fang Ming were arrested as suspects. The charges were intentional injury, attempted kidnapping, and attempted murder.

Evidence pointed directly to them.

The crime occurred beside an abandoned building thick with dust and gravel. Tire marks and footprints contradicted the captured suspect’s claim of a “solo robbery.”

Based on Tao Ran’s account and the tire tracks, combined with surveillance from banks and supermarkets along the main street, the police confirmed Tang Ran had been followed from early morning and chased all the way to the crime scene. The stalking was clearly intentional. Tang Ran hadn’t lied.

When the police inspected the scene, they found operational CCTV twenty meters away by an elevator.

The property management provided the footage, clearly showing Tang Ran running, falling, being grabbed, dragged, surrounded by a group, and forcibly pulled toward a car. The male assailant also shoved and struck her.

Although the footage was a bit blurry, making it hard to identify the female leader as Lu Sitong, the traffic camera on the main road after the first car left revealed the license plate. Inside the car were indeed four suspicious individuals covering their faces, exactly as Tang Ran had described.

Though the car’s registered owner wasn’t Lu Sitong or Fang Ming, tracking the route through traffic cameras ultimately confirmed it passed through Lu Sitong’s villa area…

Additionally, two eyewitnesses who had also reported the incident confirmed that the people encircling Tang Ran were Lu Sitong and Fang Ming, recently exposed for their affair.

Police confronted Lu Sitong: “Is this true?”

She couldn’t deny it. Her nanny had already been brought in for questioning and had confessed.

“If you hadn’t done something shameful, why run when the police arrived? Why lie about your whereabouts? Why enlist people to give false statements? Were you afraid the police would discover something?”

Thus, even though Fang Ming’s previous lawsuit hadn’t concluded and Lu Sitong’s crisis wasn’t over, a new round of trouble had begun…

Tao Ran insisted these people were out to kill her. No matter how Lu Sitong explained that she only wanted to talk to Tang Ran, it didn’t matter. They were all detained.

Tao Ran had anticipated being followed and gave them the bait.

Tonight, she had come out to “fish,” with her own people lying in wait.

Once she confirmed she was being followed, she had already alerted the police.

She deliberately ran down the wrong alley.

The crime scene had been chosen in advance.

Witnesses and passersby were part of her arrangement.

She knew success was guaranteed.

The enemies came voluntarily; they delivered themselves to her. She merely played along. What crime was there?

Even if the charges of murder and kidnapping were hard to prove, intentional injury and attempted unlawful confinement had complete witness and physical evidence…

Indeed, this was the case.

Tao Ran had previously portrayed Fang Ming and Lu Sitong as having malicious intent toward her, threatening and coercing her. She risked her life to testify… Combined with these elements, anyone could see that Tang Ran being surrounded this time was clearly a premeditated attack.

At worst, it was an attempt on her life. At best, it was intimidation. Tang Ran’s previous fears were justified.

Many people rallied to support Tang Ran, demanding strict punishment for the criminals.

For Fang Ming and Lu Sitong, this was a nightmare; once it began, it would not stop easily.

Suddenly, an online recording surfaced, exposing Fang Ming’s past misdeeds.

The recording featured two men questioning him about stealing from their home and threatening to call the police. Fang Ming begged for mercy, promising compensation, just like the day in the garage before he realized Tang Ran had set him up.

Alongside the recording was a photo of Fang Ming kneeling in supplication.
