Deng Ligang, Ji Dashun, Shi Bi and others agreed not to meet, contact or communicate in private.Deng Ligang set a rule: No one can return to Xuecheng at any time and under any circumstances, let alone have any contact with the people there.The miserable life created a rift between Deng Ligang and Song Hongyu.

The two of them were fighting at home again that day. Song Hongyu cried and complained that she was pregnant. Deng Ligang asked her to give birth to the child and promised her to take her father and brother with her.Deng Ligang and four other people took advantage of the management loopholes in remote mountainous areas to settle in the mountains, and then bought commercial housing in Suilu and signed their household registrations.
