In the early morning of September 1, 2016, in the sleeping city of Seoul, a desperate woman drove alone to the Han River Bridge, jumped down on the Han River Bridge, and ended her life.
The next day, people found the woman's body near the Jiayang Bridge downstream, perhaps thinking that this was just an ordinary female suicide case.
But the woman's identity cast a mysterious cloud over the suicide, and when the woman's suicide note was made public, everyone in South Korea was shocked.
So what exactly caused the woman to commit suicide? What kind of shocking content is left in the suicide note left by the woman?
The woman who died was named Lee Mi-ran, the second wife of the Chosun Ilbo, one of South Korea's top chaebols, and her husband, named Fang Se-hoon, was the real owner of the chaebol.
When Li Meilan's body was found, the police immediately did a series of forensic examinations for her, and during the examination, it could be seen:
Li Meilan's body was covered with dense, alternating bruises, all of which appeared in the shape of a slap.
It is difficult to imagine what kind of treatment Li Meilan suffered before her death, is Li Meilan's suicide because of these scars on her body?
In addition to the name of Mrs. Lee Mei-ran chaebol, Lee Mei-ran is also an excellent doctor, since birth, Lee Mei-lan was born in a family of well-known doctors, and the Lee family has been a dentist serving the President of South Korea for three generations.
Li Meilan, who grew up in such a family, has undoubtedly received a very good education, and it can be said that whether it is talent or social etiquette, Li Meilan has extraordinary processing ability.
Having a good face has also attracted the pursuit of countless boys, but these men are either the stubborn children of the chaebol or the poor boys who write about toads and want to eat swan meat.
For these people, Li Meilan did not intend to look at them squarely, but there was only one person, so that Li Meilan had completely fallen since he first saw them.
This man is Fang Rongxun, and coincidentally, Fang Rongxun is also very fond of Li Meilan.
Soon under the pursuit of Fang Rongxun, the two successfully entered the palace of marriage. After marriage, Fang Rongxun and Li Meilan had two boys, two women and four children.
In the eyes of others, the lives of Fang Rongxun and Li Meilan are called enviable, with endless money, and at the same time, with monstrous power, and life is gorgeous.
However, who would have thought that such an enviable life would end in such a way 33 years later, so what made Li Meilan make such a desperate act?
In Li Meilan's last words, we can see:
Whether it's a phone call or a message, I can't contact my husband, I can't know the reason, I can only fight divorce proceedings, everyone may be tortured to pieces, and finally bruises, such an ending is too obvious.
How can I watch them happen, how can I win over chosun Ilbo, Fang Yong-hoon, I let myself go, don't be too sad, you have to be well, we will see each other later.
After reading Li Meilan's last words, everyone may be able to see some clues, Li Meilan's suicide has a certain relationship with her husband Fang Rongxun.
So what happened to Li Meilan? What role does his husband play in this?
The story also begins 4 months before Li Meilan committed suicide. At that time, Li Meilan and her husband Fang Rongxun had a conflict.
According to Li Meilan's mother's family, the reason for the conflict between the two is that as early as 15 years ago, Li Meilan took a sum of 5 billion won from Fang Rongxun's hands, which was converted into about 30 million yuan.
At that time, this money was given to Li Meilan by Fang Rongxun on his own initiative, saying that it was for Li Meilan's small treasury, so that Li Meilan could dispose of it at will.
For these, Li Meilan did not care, but thought that this was a manifestation of her husband's love for himself.
But after 15 years, for this money, Fang Rongxun returned a face, saying that this money was secretly given to her mother's family by Li Meilan, resulting in no extra money to inherit to her son.
The reason why Fang Rongxun said this is because 15 years ago, when she first got the money, Li Meilan transferred a sum of 5 billion yuan to her sister who lived in Canada, and all the money was used on her four children.
It turned out that Li Meilan's four children did not study in South Korea, but all went to Canada to study.
During the study period, all of them were taken care of by Li Meilan's sister, and the four children had to spend money to eat, wear, live and travel during their time in Canada.
That 5 billion won is just enough to meet the needs of four children. By the time the four were in school, the 5 billion had been spent.
At first, when Fang Rongxun and Li Meilan talked about the money, Li Meilan thought that Fang Rongxun wanted to know where he had spent the money.
However, when Fang Rongxun learned that the money had been spent, Fang Rongxun began to brainwash his children, lying to them that his family's money had been spent by Li Meilan, and there was no money for several children in the family to inherit.
Now Fang Rongxun's life has been deeply affected, and he needs his children to chase this money back from Li Meilan's hands, and at the same time, whoever takes the money back is the first heir of this family.
With Fang Rongxun's brainwashing, the four children were full of anger at Li Meilan, and they drove Li Meilan to their basement to live.
Fang Rongxun intimidated Li Meilan said
"I'll let you live a hellish life.".
The children also said to Li Meilan:
"You're not welcome in this home, you thief, we don't want to see you, so you just stay in the basement and be a transparent person."
It is hard to imagine that this is the husband who has lived for 33 years, and the words spoken by 4 children to a mother, who thought that Li Meilan would choose to resist after being treated so unfairly.
But who knew that Li Meilan was worried that after she resisted, her husband would be unfavorable to her children, so she could only endure humiliation and go into the basement, which was 4 months.
During these 4 months, Li Meilan could only eat two sweet potatoes and eggs a day, and the rest were some steamed leftovers.
And just when Li Meilan was living a difficult life in the basement, her children were partying in the villa upstairs, without the slightest concern for Li Meilan, who was separated by a wall.
In addition to eating badly and living badly, Li Meilan was often beaten by Fang Rongxun, and I remember that once, when Li Meilan really couldn't hold on, she found the maid of the villa to complain:
I don't know why I'm living this life, what am I doing wrong?
In the whole world, except for the servants in the villa, no outsider knows which well-bred chaebol lady once lived such a life in the basement that it was worse than death.
But what is even more unexpected is that Li Meilan, who lives in the basement, did not let Fang Rongxun and his four children be relieved, in order to better clean up Li Meilan, they decided to come to a method of one hundred.
On August 22, 2016, an ambulance appeared in the Villa of the Fang family, along with The Ambulance, fang Rongxun and his four children.
Such a neat situation has not been seen for a long time, and it seems that this time several people have made great efforts.
The ambulance that came was not an ordinary ambulance, but an ambulance from a mental hospital, and they wanted to get Li Meilan to the mental hospital.
When she was pulled into the car, Li Meilan used all her strength to resist, but the child did not show any signs of softness.
Taking advantage of the fact that the children did not pay attention, Li Meilan contacted her mother's family through the family phone, and after learning of the situation, the mother's family immediately called the police.
Soon the police arrived, but in the chaebol's home, the police left after a simple inquiry, which made Li Meilan even more devastated.
After the police left, Fang Rongxun and several children destroyed all the evidence against them, and after dealing with these things, several children set up Li Meilan again and walked to the ambulance.
Li Meilan desperately shouted for help, because the struggle was too fierce, her underwear was all exposed outside, and even her shoes were lost. But doing so does not avoid the fate of being put on the shelf.
After getting into the car, Li Meilan regained some sanity, and she said to the people in the ambulance:
It is illegal for you to do so, and if you let others know, you will not only lose your job, but your hospital will also need to bear the corresponding responsibility. If you don't want to have any problems, then send me to the place I said.
Seeing that Li Meilan's thinking was clear, the people in the ambulance also understood, and they directly changed direction and sent Li Meilan to Li Meilan's mother's family residence.
After entering the mother's family's house, Li Meilan was temporarily safe, because of the previous phone call, the mother's family was worried about Li Meilan's encounter.
When Li Meilan appeared, looking at her appearance, the mother's family was silent, they were a medical family, so they knew the bruises on Li Meilan's body.
This is the one who was beaten, and it is not yet beaten by a person, and the wounds caused already constitute the level of damage.
Immediately the mother's family took Li Meilan to the hospital for treatment, on the way, when the mother's family asked about these scars, Li Meilan also lied that she was caused by the fall.
Even so, Li Meilan was still unwilling to spread her own scandals and to damage the reputation of her husband and children.
But what she doesn't understand is that blindly forbearance can only be exchanged for endless humiliation, so what is the 5 billion? Why did Fang Rongxun treat his wife like this?
In fact, this so-called 5 billion is just an excuse, and what can really make Fang Rongxun and his four children move is the inheritance rights of the Fang family.
As long as they get this 5 billion yuan, it is equivalent to getting all the property of the Fang family, so the four children have no hesitation and directly side with their father Fang Rongxun.
In addition to this inheritance, as early as a few years ago, several of Fang Rongxun's sons and daughters had already done bad things.
In 2009, Zhang Ziyan could not stand the unspoken rules of suicide, and the list left behind included Fang Xiangxun, Fang Rongxun, Fang Zhenwu and others.
Fang Rongxun, Fang Zhenwu is Li Meilan's children, it can be said that this is the so-called upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked.
Finally, in September 2016, Li Meilan chose to end her life completely, and after Li Meilan's death, several strange things happened:
The first is the processing speed of Li Meilan's body, according to the normal process, it generally takes 3-5 days to hand over the body to the Fang family.
But Li Meilan's body was already in the hands of the Fang family the next day. After obtaining Li Meilan's body, the Fang family did not hold any funeral for Li Meilan, but chose to secretly cremate it and bury it.
So far, Li Meilan's mother's family does not know where Li Meilan was buried, which can't help but make people wonder whether there is any evidence of unfavorable to the other family on Li Meilan's body.
The second is that after Li Meilan's death, Li Meilan's mother's family indicted Li Meilan's children for harming her relatives.
But what is puzzling is that when the police began to prosecute Li Meilan's children, the crime changed from the crime of harming his relatives to the crime of coercion.
These two crimes, in South Korean law, have a very different treatment, and the crime of harming a relative is less than 15 years imprisonment, while the crime of coercion is only less than 5 years in prison.
In January 2018, Li Meilan's children were sentenced by a court to forced sentences to eight months in prison, suspended for two years.
As soon as this decision came out, many people in the legal circles thought that the verdict was biased, but no one stood up to prove it.
The third is that 2 months after Li Meilan's death, Li Meilan's eldest son and Fang Rongxun came to Li Meilan's mother's house together and violently smashed it.
Li Meilan's eldest son was holding a brick, while Fang Rongxun was holding a sharp ice axe. The two men took things, first smashing the door of the mother's family.
But because the quality of the gate was so good, the two did not smash it open. At that time, Li Meilan's mother's family was at home, fortunately they had monitoring at the door, and when they heard that there was an abnormality at the door, they first checked through the monitoring, rather than choosing to open the door directly.
In fear, the mother's family called the police, and the next day, after the police arrived, the other party Rongxun and his eldest son were prosecuted for illegally invading the house.
However, in the follow-up investigation, the police said that the ice axe carried by Fang Rongxun was only his crutch, and he usually held this spread, so it did not constitute the crime of illegal invasion of the house, and as for the eldest son, he was suspended from prosecution.
In the face of this investigation, all sectors of society once again expressed dissatisfaction, obviously the case is full of evidence, but it can be so upside down black and white, can the chaebol really be lawless?
It turned out to be true, and a few years later, the lawyers and police who handled Lee Mei-ran's case said they were indeed threatened by the Fang family: We in the Chosun Ilbo can bring up a regime or destroy it.
With such a family, it is not difficult to imagine how normal it is to have such a cold-blooded child, and the true face of the chaebol is really incomprehensible.
The Lee Mei-lan case and the Jang Zi-yeon case are just the tip of the iceberg of the South Korean chaebol's viciousness, hoping that one day, the forces of justice can fight these evils. Good repays evil with evil, and justice will surely come.
