Chapter 342: Chapter 257: The Whereabouts of Hao Manman and Others (Added Chapter)

The statements made by Hao Manman’s long-time fans once again shattered the worldviews of the onlookers.

Three old men confining an 18-year-old girl, one could guess their motives with their toes.

As other insiders continued to come forward, not only did the netizens learn that the first victim was indeed Hao Manman’s own younger sister,

but they also discovered that the second and third victims, like Hao Manman’s sister, suffered from the same rare disease called Kabuki Syndrome.

Not to mention the onlookers, even those long-time fans who had liked Hao Manman for many years found it hard to accept.

[I know about Kabuki Syndrome! It’s a rare disease. People with this disease are naturally very attractive, with high facial values, looking as if they’ve applied pale makeup! But it’s actually just natural beauty.

Moreover, people with this disease have intelligence that only reaches the level of a child, they’re slow to react, rarely cry or laugh out loud, have dull senses, and lack emotional expression.]

[Damn it, that’s her own younger sister!]

[Although I often quarrel with my sister and find her annoying, because ever since she came along, I’ve had to share everything with her, and so have our parents.

But if anyone dares to hurt her, I would fight them to the death, even if it means going to jail!]

[The other two victims are so pitiful too. Can’t these three beasts just hurry up and die already! Revolting scum, I’m clenching my fists so hard.]

[I suggest they quickly bring back the old criminal parades. I’m going to throw a thousand pounds of rotten leaves and stinky eggs at them! Swell their faces!]

[What’s the use of throwing rotten leaves and stinky eggs? You should throw stones, big nails, splash them with chili powder, and spray them with pepper spray!]

...

The netizens were indignant, loathing what Hao Manman, Wang Qingli and their accomplices had done to the bone.

Hao Manman, Wang Qingli, Liu Zuolin, and Huang Xianfu were prosecuted by the prosecutor’s office on numerous charges, including the illegal confinement of personal freedom, trafficking of a minor, rape, and depriving the victims of their lives unlawfully.

In the end, Wang Qingli, Liu Zuolin, and Huang Xianfu were stripped of their political rights for life due to the severity of their crimes: repeated rapes and malicious murder of three people. They were fined three hundred and fifty thousand yuan and sentenced to death.

Hao Manman, as a family member of one of the victims and as an accomplice in the murder and concealment of the bodies perpetrated by the three murderers, buried the bodies of the three victims in her backyard for several years, harboring the murderers. She was fined two hundred and ninety-five thousand yuan and sentenced to thirty years in prison.

After the verdict was pronounced, Wang Qingli, Liu Zuolin, and Huang Xianfu did not accept the court’s decision and appealed to a higher court.

The Supreme People’s Court convened and immediately announced the retention of the original sentence upon hearing.

Hao Manman also expressed dissatisfaction with the original verdict. After graduating from university, she entered the entertainment industry and struggled there for eight years.

The career of a female star is very short-lived. After turning thirty, even with the strong support of Wang Qingli and his accomplices, her resources became much less than in her twenties.

Of course, during her years in the entertainment industry, Hao Manman had made quite a lot of money and acquired many properties.

She had originally planned to retire in a few years to enjoy life, only to be unexpectedly convicted and sentenced to thirty years!

After thirty years, she would be an old lady with silver hair and difficulty moving!

What was the use of all her years of hard work then?

Hao Manman filed an appeal in court, and during the second trial, the judge examined the case carefully. Not only did he notice that Hao Manman showed no remorse for her deceased sister, but he also discovered other crimes committed by her during the retrial.

Ultimately, the second trial upheld the original sentence and additionally imposed a six-year prison term and a fifty thousand yuan fine on Hao Manman.

That is to say, Hao Manman’s sentence went from thirty years to thirty-six years!

The fine also increased from two hundred and ninety-five thousand yuan to three hundred and forty-five thousand yuan.

Hao Manman was so furious that she spat blood and started crying and making a fuss in court.

However, no matter how much she cried and carried on, it was to no avail, and she was eventually taken away by staff members, one on each side of her.

Due to the case’s popularity online and Hao Manman’s identity, many media reporters and citizens went to observe the second trial.

After the judge pronounced the sentence, Hao Manman’s final punishment sparked a heated discussion among netizens.

[Hahaha, well deserved!]

[Finally, her sentencing day has come, thirty-six years, so satisfying!]

[Tsk, tsk, such a contrast. She used to be so glamorous and radiant as a star, dressed in famous brands, surrounded by adoring crowds. Now look at her, handcuffed, clad in prison garb, acting crazy—she’s like a whole different person, utterly devoid of her past goddess-like charm.]

[Ew, remember, she is an accomplice in murder and concealing bodies!]

[No wonder I never liked seeing Hao Manman on TV before, she just didn’t strike my fancy. Turns out it was because she wasn’t wearing the right clothes, now she looks just fine to me.]

［She was originally slated for only thirty years, but with her own "efforts," she added six more to her sentence. This is genuinely tear-inducing!]

[Hahahahahaha, outstanding!]

...

Netizens rejoiced at the great news, while Hao Manman, sent to prison, had no idea that she would live in abject misery every day for the next thirty-six years.

With prison supervision, she couldn’t even die if she wanted to.

After resigning herself to prison life, her only hope was the significant fortune she had left outside.

But what Hao Manman didn’t know was, after painstakingly serving her time until she was over sixty years old and being released, she would have an accident on her way home.

She would be struck silly by a hailstorm, forgetting the way home, becoming an imbecile with the intelligence of a two or three-year-old, thereafter wandering on the streets and eventually freezing to death in the snow.

Of course, this would all be a long time in the future.
