Chapter 1141: It Was Finally Over
When Jiang Yao received the summons from the police, he wasted no time. He rushed straight to the prison, his face drawn with worry. After completing all the necessary statements, he firmly requested to see Jiang Nan in person.
The officer, after a moment’s hesitation, finally agreed.
The moment Jiang Yao set eyes on Jiang Nan, his entire body tensed. Clenching his back molars, he snarled through gritted teeth, "Jiang Nan, you black-hearted widow! How could you be so vicious? How could you do this to Li Mei? She always treated you like her dearest sister! She was carrying a child at the time—how could you bring yourself to harm her?"
Jiang Nan lifted her head slowly, a chilling, sinister smile curling on her lips. Every word she spoke was like a dagger, precise and brutal.
"How could you possibly blame me?" she said mockingly. "Li Mei was simply unlucky—unlucky enough to marry a man like you. If anyone’s to blame, it’s you. Hah! As her husband, you never trusted her, never protected her. Everyone in the village knew you had a habit of beating your wife! That’s why I was able to sow discord between you two so easily. You gave me the opportunity. And down there, in that hellish underworld, I’m sure Li Mei wishes for nothing more than your death—to pay for her life. Hahaha..."
At that moment, it was as if Jiang Yao had been struck by a bolt of lightning. He stood there, paralyzed, his mind reeling. In that instant of devastating clarity, he realized that while Jiang Nan’s evil was undeniable, he himself had been the accomplice in the death of his own wife and unborn child.
He deserved nothing less than death.
When Jiang Yao stumbled out of the prison, his steps were faltering, unsteady, like a man lost in a nightmare he couldn’t wake from. Oh, how he wished he could turn back time. How he wished none of this had ever happened.
