Chapter 367 - My Heart is Really Aching (1/2)

“I really hated myself at that time. I could not accept the fact that a young boy who had just started attending university had lost his life at such a young age just because he was trying to protect an old man like me,” the old man said as he started wiping the tears off his face. “I felt very sorry towards the young boy and his family. In fact, I have already paid several visits to the young boy’s family because I wanted to apologize and offer them anything that I could do for them. However, the young boy’s mother is really very kind and understanding. She comforted me and told me not to feel too burdened because it is not my fault…but I really…”

The old man broke down and he started crying as he thought about the young boy.

“I attended the young boy’s funeral about two weeks after the incident and I found out then that he was just eighteen years old. He was such a good boy. Unexpectedly, this evil couple who took his life are actually trying to change the story and make him out to be the villain instead. Do you know how bad I feel right now? Do you know that my heart is really aching?”

“If you do not believe me, you can do your investigation and verify the authenticity of my story. The couple were the ones who had started the fight as they started beating both of us up. The young boy only fought back because he was trying to protect me and defend himself. If you do not believe me, you can go to the police station and verify that what I am saying is the truth.”

“That inhumane couple! Why did they omit the fact that both of them were imprisoned for manslaughter? Why didn’t they mention anything about that? Moreover, I heard that the young boy’s father fell ill and passed away not long after the incident because he was so depressed about the unexpected death of his youngest son. The couple have already taken two lives and they still have the audacity to slander an innocent man? Aren’t they afraid of karma? Don’t they have a conscience at all?”

“What is even worse is that the media and the reporters are sharing the news and information without even verifying whether the story checks out. Are you telling me that the information provided by the police will not be credible?”

“That couple will definitely go to hell soon!”

The old man had a heavy heart as he agreed to be interviewed by the reporter.

This was because he was really distressed.

He felt so distressed that he felt as though he had lost his will to live…

How could anyone slander and incriminate his benefactor for something that he did not do?

“I am really disappointed with the younger generation. How can you smear the reputation of an innocent man like this?”

“His younger brother has already passed away and he still has to put up with all these baseless rumors and slander.”

“You are spreading rumors that his family bribed the police and some high-ranking officials just so that his younger brother could be let off the hook? Xiao Chennan’s family are just ordinary people, like every one of us here!”
