Chapter 101: The Disappearing Soul
Looking at Jiang Yusheng, whose temples were now streaked with white and whose face was full of sorrow, Wen Wen felt neither sympathy nor hatred in his heart.
Perhaps he had struggled, perhaps he had repented, but people must take responsibility for their actions.
The deeds once committed by Jiang Yusheng were even despised by robbers because he had killed his own accomplices.
Judging from his mundane life afterwards, he didn’t use the profits from his crime to lead a luxurious life, nor did he go further down the path of crime.
That one time might have been just a momentary lapse into evil thoughts, perhaps just an impulse, but since he had done it, he had to pay the price.
"When I first came here, I said that tonight I would resolve the issues here, and now, it’s time for it to end,"
"What do you plan to do, throw me in jail? That’s right, you’re a detective; capturing someone like me would get you a reward, wouldn’t it?"
Jiang Yusheng, looking at Wen Wen, spoke despondently. His words no longer held any disguise. Mother Jiang and Jiang Wenyue were shocked as they looked at Jiang Yusheng, as if seeing him for the first time.
That event had always been a knot in his heart. A plot had once brought him a sum of money that was considered huge during that era. However, he had used all that money to buy this villa, yet he had not spent a single night here for over twenty years.
It wasn’t until his son needed a larger place for raising dogs that he moved his whole family into the villa.
