I took leave from my military unit to go home and visit the family graves, only to discover that my fourteen-year-old sister had been abused to death by the pampered heir of a powerful Beijing family.
All because she'd glanced at his luxury car.
He decided she was a prostitute, then joined forces with other privileged young men in Beijing to drag her into a car and abuse her for fun.
Furious, I took them all to court, but my lawyer wife took the other side:
“As far as I know, my sister-in-law had been secretly selling herself for a long time to support her obsession with celebrities. Fu Yanchuan dragged her into his car to save her. But when she found out who Young Master Fu was, she started hurting herself and planned to team up with me, her sister-in-law, to blackmail him...”
“The law allows no exceptions. Even if it means turning in my own family, I will uphold the law!”
The privileged young men in the courtroom exchanged knowing smiles, while the judge ruled against me without even looking up. I was also ordered to pay Fu Tingchuan a huge sum in damages.
Fury surged through me, and I brought out the honors and medals my entire family had earned by sacrificing their lives for our country.
I wanted to ask the commanding officer: Is justice only for the rich and powerful?
