Chapter 150 Tit for tat
Chapter 150 Tit for tat
Siyi's face paled, but she reacted very quickly. She instinctively stood in front of Ye Xiongming, but she couldn't say anything. She just looked at Guan Fengru in disbelief.
How could she do such a thing?
Even if he was eager to get a divorce, why did he have to let someone like Jiang Jizhen appear in front of his father?
What is she thinking?
"Jiang Jizhen!"
Ye Zhenghao was equally incredulous that Jiang Jizhen was the police station's number one suspect.
Many cases had previously skirted the edge of legality with him.
But he's an old fox, and we always lack evidence to take him down. But who doesn't know how much blood is on Jiang Jizhen's hands?
If he disliked Jiang Yanhui and Jiang Yansen so much, then Jiang Jizhen was the person he most wanted to capture.
But... why did he come here?
"Why did you come here?" Guan Fengru asked, her tone a mixture of surprise and dissatisfaction.
"I was worried you wouldn't be able to handle this on your own, so I came to help you."
Jiang Jizhen walked past Ye Zhenghao and stood directly in front of Guan Fengru. "I guessed right. I knew your two children wouldn't just let it go like that, so I came to help you finish this. We have to go to a banquet later, so let's not waste any more time here."
“You should have told me before you came.” Guan Fengru frowned and lowered her voice, “Is it really necessary to come in so suddenly…”
"Mom! You two..." Ye Zhenghao suddenly interrupted Guan Fengru. Watching their back-and-forth interaction, the clever man had already figured out what was going on. He felt as if he'd been struck by lightning; his hands clenched into fists at his sides, veins bulging on the backs of his hands. His eyes glared fiercely at the two people standing not far away, almost red-eyed. But the words he spoke were chilling, each syllable shrouded in frost, "You...you actually...you want to divorce Dad, just for this man?"
“Zhenghao…” Guan Fengru knew what kind of person her son was, and she moved her lips, looking somewhat troubled.
From the moment Jiang Jizhen entered, Siyi stood in front of Ye Xiongming without uttering a single word.
Jiang Jizhen, however, chuckled casually at this moment.
The room was filled with people, each with their own thoughts, and the atmosphere was tense, yet he spoke with a completely calm expression.
He spoke matter-of-factly, "Why are you all so nervous? Isn't divorce and remarriage a normal thing? You children shouldn't interfere too much in adults' affairs. Your mother and I are in love, and your father is already in this situation. Actually, isn't it better to let Fengru go? As for the two of you, if you're willing, I'm willing to let you live with Fengru in the Jiang family's old house. I'll take care of you in the future..."
"You fart!"
Ye Zhenghao, unable to contain his anger any longer, cursed. He hated the man before him. "Jiang Jizhen, you hypocrite! Don't think you can do whatever you want just because you have some money! Someone like you will end up in jail sooner or later. Do you really think no one knows what you've done? Let me tell you, do you really think no one knows about the shady dealings you've been doing with the Southeast Asian underworld all these years? Don't think there are any secrets in this world anymore. Your son's affairs are nothing but child's play. If I catch you doing anything wrong, I'll make sure you spend the rest of your life alone in prison!"
Jiang Jizhen's left hand twitched slightly, a very subtle change, but Ye Zhenghao still keenly noticed it.
Ye Zhenghao knew he had hit the nail on the head.
He glanced at Guan Fengru, who stood to the side with a pale face, then at Jiang Jizhen, who had been so confident just moments before but now looked equally gloomy. He sneered, "So even Jiang Jizhen has moments of fear. You're very capable, able to keep things airtight, but you're not without a trace. Do you really think that having a large group of lawyers working for you makes you feel safe and secure? Jiang Jizhen, let me tell you, I've been investigating you all these years. Evil never prevails over good. What others may not know, I do know. Your past in Southeast Asia after you left America, including your unspeakable history of accumulating wealth—do you think no one knows? Yes, we lack evidence, which is why you've been so comfortable all these years. But I, Ye Zhenghao, am upright and honest. I'm making this clear now: one day, I will personally arrest you!"
"Hehe, young people are still full of vigor after all."
Jiang Jizhen, a man who has spent his entire life in the underworld, could not possibly be intimidated by Ye Zhenghao's few words, even if everything he said made sense.
After a brief moment of surprise, he regained his composure and smiled calmly, "It's good to have fighting spirit. I, Jiang Jizhen, have seen all kinds of people in my life. There are quite a few who have deliberately slandered me. Inspector Ye, if you really have evidence, then you can talk to me later."
He clearly wasn't planning to stay any longer. He reached out and loosely put his arm around Guan Fengru's shoulder, a slight smile playing on his lips. "I'm not here to talk about these things today. It's fine if you really can't accept me. You're all adults, you can take care of yourselves. I'm just here to take away the person I want. The others can come if they want, or not if they don't. I'm in a good mood today, so I won't hold anything you said against me." He then turned to Guan Fengru, his voice gentle, "The papers are signed, right? Leave the rest to me. We're going to the banquet now, and I'll announce our good news in a bit."
Guan Fengru's expression was not good. She was still relatively calm when Ye Zhenghao and Siyi came in, but now her expression was very strained.
However, Jiang Jizhen assumed that she was acting this way because of this farce, so he didn't think much of it. He just looked at her melancholy profile and was overjoyed. He simply instructed the lawyer who had been watching the show for a long time, "Take care of things before you leave."
"Wait a moment."
Siyi finally spoke, her voice hoarse, her eyes filled with pain and tears, fixed on Guan Fengru. Her hand gripped tightly the hand of Ye Xiongming, who had remained silent on the bed. After a long silence, she finally spoke softly, "Mom, are you really leaving? If you leave, my brother and I will never forgive you. Is it really true that you're going to abandon all of us for this one man? I don't believe it. Don't you have your reasons? You always told me that things weren't what I wanted..."
"Siyi!"
Guan Fengru suddenly spoke up, abruptly interrupting her. With a cold face, she said, "You don't need to say anything more. I've already made up my mind. You and your older brother will take good care of your father from now on. I'm still in City A. If you'd like, come and see me. If you can't forgive me..." She paused, then said coldly, "...If you can't forgive me, then don't forgive me. I don't care anymore."
"Mom..." Ye Zhenghao cried out in anguish.
At this moment, Ye Xiongming, who had been silent all along, suddenly coughed and spoke with difficulty, "...Zhenghao, Si, Siyi...don't...don't say it again...let...let them go...go...go...don't...don't say it again..."
"father!"
Siyi squatted down in front of him. Seeing her father like this, her eyes welled up with tears of grievance. "Dad, why can you still choose to forgive? They are the ones who wronged you. You can't sign this."
"Siyi... good... good girl... be good... be good..."
Ye Xiongming's words were mumbled, but Ye Zhenghao and Siyi could hear them clearly.
Jiang Jizhen laughed coldly, displaying the ruthless and condescending attitude of a victor. "A person who can't even speak clearly doesn't deserve such a wonderful woman. You're quite sensible. Since you agree to the divorce, it's settled. I admire those who know when to yield. Judge Ye, your era is finally over. From now on, just stay here and recuperate. Don't worry, I know a very good cardiologist abroad. I'll definitely ask him to save your life for Feng Ru's sake, so you can live a more comfortable life from now on."
"Jiang Jizhen, don't go too far!"
Ye Zhenghao roared angrily, almost unable to resist rushing up to beat someone, but the several black-clad bodyguards standing at the door dutifully blocked Jiang Jizhen's way, glaring at Ye Zhenghao with menacing eyes.
Jiang Jizhen laughed even more heartily, "Fengru, your two children are nothing like you. One is so stubborn, and the other is so hot-tempered. Hehe, where is your gentle and charming self? Alright, Inspector Ye, didn't you want to arrest me? If you take action like this, be careful you get suspended and investigated. Young man, relax, what's so hard about that?"
"Don't speak so soon, I'm afraid you'll be the one who can't let it go in the end."
Another deep male voice broke in, and everyone present turned their gaze toward the source.
A tall, slender figure stood at the door of the ward. The man was wearing a camel-colored casual jacket and black casual pants.
It's a very simple and common color scheme, but when worn by him, it has an indescribable charm.
He was wearing sunglasses, which concealed his most alluring, captivating eyes.
Her sexy, thin lips curved into a slightly seductive arc.
That was the man Siyi knew best, leaning lazily against the doorway, arms crossed, with a half-smile on his face.
But he possessed a radiant charm, not only the unruly arrogance of a spoiled young master, but also an undeniable air of pride.
Siyi's heart skipped a beat, and she instinctively avoided looking at him.
Jiang Yanhui, what brings you here too?
