Chapter 1434 Yunrui's Sincere Complaint: A Report Made Under His Real Name
At 11 p.m. sharp, Qi Ruixiang's account was updated with a video. There was no fancy cover, just a plain background image with a cold glow, and the title was simple and direct—"The Ghostly Whispers of a Business Tycoon."
The moment viewers clicked on the video, those familiar with his "Interviews Behind Bars" series immediately noticed the difference. There were no iconic iron bars of a prison, no cold metal tables and chairs in the visiting room; instead, there was a minimalist lounge.
The background in the shot is a light beige wall, and in the corner is a pot of green ivy with slightly yellowed leaves, as if it has not been carefully cared for for a long time.
The tabletop is made of solid wood with fine patterns. On it sits only a voice recorder and a transparent water glass. Water droplets condensed on the glass slowly slide down its sides, leaving a small, shallow water stain on the tabletop.
The light was a soft, warm yellow, yet it inexplicably conveyed a sense of oppression, unlike the stark coldness of typical prison scenes. Instead, it was a deep-seated somberness, like the calm before a storm.
The only person in the picture is Qi Ruixiang. He is wearing a plain black T-shirt and his hair is neatly cut. He no longer looks as dusty and tired as when he was running around collecting materials, but he also looks less calm and aloof than he does during interviews.
He leaned back slightly in his chair, his hands clasped together on the table, his fingertips unconsciously tracing patterns. His eyes held a complex mix of emotions: relief, anger, and an undeniable weariness. After a full ten seconds of silence, he slowly raised his head, his gaze meeting the camera's, as if making eye contact with everyone watching...
"This video is unlike any of my previous interviews." His voice was low and hoarse, with a deliberately suppressed tremor, and his speech was much slower than usual, each word carrying a heavy weight. "The filming location wasn't a prison, not a cell, but a nursing home..."
He paused here, raising his hand to rub his temples, as if calming his turbulent emotions. Then, he pulled an ID card from his pocket, holding it up to the camera. The information on the ID card was clearly visible—Name: Qi Ruixiang, Gender: Male, Ethnicity: Han…
He placed his ID card steadily on the table, his fingertips pressing against the edge of the document, and said firmly, "I, Qi Ruixiang, am filing a formal complaint against Yan Taifeng for allegedly murdering my mother, Qi Zhifang."
As soon as he finished speaking, the camera suddenly switched, showing Yan Taifeng looking like a madman.
In the empty room, he huddled in a corner, his hair a mess, plastered to his scalp. He muttered to himself, sometimes crying, sometimes laughing, repeatedly saying, "It wasn't me... I didn't kill her... She came looking for me herself..." "Stop arguing! All of you, stop arguing!" His eyes were unfocused, his expression blank; he was a far cry from his former domineering self, a complete lunatic...
The camera cuts back to Qi Ruixiang, whose eyes are already red, but he is holding back his tears. "My mother, Qi Zhifang, died suddenly in an 'accident' when I was young. The police eventually closed the case as an accident."
His voice was thick with nasal tone, his hands clenched into fists, his knuckles white. "But I never believed it was an accident. I remember that day before she left, she specially bought me my favorite red bean buns, and patted my head, saying that when she came back, she would take me to the amusement park for National Day. But I waited all day, and what came back was her cold body."
He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, and continued, "To find out the cause of my mother's death, I gave up my stable job and plunged into journalism. I traveled to cities big and small, interviewing one person after another who might know the truth, but each time I was interrupted at a crucial moment, and the clues were repeatedly broken. In those years, I was threatened, followed, and even almost lost my life. I thought this path would always be so dark, and that I would never find the truth in my lifetime."
At the end of the video, Qi Ruixiang held up his ID card again and said, word by word, "Every word I have said is supported by evidence, and I am willing to bear all legal responsibility for my words and actions. I earnestly request that the relevant departments take this matter seriously, reopen the investigation, and bring peace to the deceased and justice to the living." After speaking, he bowed deeply to the camera, and the video gradually went black...
Just five minutes after the video was released, the data in the backend began to skyrocket. Yan Wanqing had already used all her resources to promote and distribute the video on various platforms, while Gu Yunqian also used his connections to contact many media outlets and bloggers to repost it.
In just one hour, the video garnered over ten million views, with likes and comments increasing exponentially, quickly topping the trending charts on various platforms. The topic was shocking! The famous tycoon Yan Taifeng was revealed to be a murderer, and the father of down-on-his-luck reporter Qi Ruixiang was none other than the tycoon Yan Taifeng, firmly occupying the top two spots on the trending searches...
The incident instantly attracted widespread attention online, with netizens leaving messages of support for Qi Ruixiang: "Support the real-name report! The truth must be found out!"
"Yan Taifeng didn't look like a good person, but I never expected him to be so vicious!"
"I feel so sorry for Qi Ruixiang, he's had such a tough time all these years!" Everyone's focus is on the truth behind Qi Zhifang's death, Yan Taifeng's crimes, and whether the investigation can be reopened, which are the core issues of the incident.
However, as the discussion intensified, some netizens began to dig into Qi Ruixiang's past, and soon someone uncovered his marriage with Yang Xiaotang.
"Wait a minute, didn't Qi Ruixiang marry Yang Xiaotang? Yang Xiaotang's father is also a big shot in the business world, right?" "Could it be that he married Yang Xiaotang back then to use the Yang family's influence to investigate my mother's case?"
"This is terrifying to think about. Could this be a marriage of convenience?"
More and more people began to deviate from the event itself and focus on Qi Ruixiang's marriage, with various speculations and doubts emerging one after another.
The key points of the event and the points that onlookers might easily miss were simultaneously laid out on the table: on one hand, the pursuit of justice and truth over many years, and on the other hand, the personal marriage that was over-interpreted. The two completely different directions of discussion intertwined, bringing the dramatic tension of the entire event to its peak.
Under immense public pressure, relevant departments quickly issued a statement announcing the reopening of the investigation into Qi Zhifang's death. This news brought a sigh of relief to Qi Ruixiang and Yan Wanqing, who believed that justice was finally on its way. However, reality dealt them a heavy blow.
After more than a month of in-depth investigation, the relevant departments issued another report, which was concise yet brutal: the investigation revealed that there were indeed many suspicious points in Qi Zhifang's death case, and that it was related to Yan Taifeng.
However, Yan Taifeng has been diagnosed by a professional institution with a serious mental illness and is not capable of standing trial; moreover, the case has exceeded the statute of limitations for prosecution. Therefore, in accordance with relevant laws and regulations, it has been decided not to prosecute him.
The announcement caused an uproar online. Qi Ruixiang looked at the announcement on his phone screen; although he was somewhat prepared, he still couldn't help but let his emotions show!
He devoted more than a decade to the task, overcoming countless hardships and obstacles, and finally uncovered the truth. However, due to this reason, he was ultimately unable to bring the murderer to justice.
He sat in the sanatorium's lounge, looking out at the dark night sky, and finally couldn't hold back his tears.
The sanatorium was silent in the dead of night. Only Qi Ruixiang's suppressed sobs and Yan Wanqing's silent tears told of the helplessness and sorrow of this journey in pursuit of justice.
The video's popularity continues, and online discussions persist, but for Qi Ruixiang and Yan Wanqing, everything has come to an end, leaving only endless regret and profound helplessness...
