Chapter 374 Sending Jiang Yangxu to the Police Station
When Jiang Xing arrived at the rented house where Jiang Zhao had rented it, he heard his father, Jiang Yangxu, roaring hysterically, like the dying howl of a wild beast, slamming hard into his eardrums.
"You piece of trash! How could you fail?! Weren't you the professional assassin that Longyuan hired, supposedly with a 100% success rate? You can't even beat a woman! You're a complete piece of trash..."
Jiang Xing's steps froze in the shadows of the entrance hall, her heart feeling as if it were being gripped by an icy hand.
A bad feeling crept up my spine like a cold snake.
"Oh, Jiang Xing, you're here. Now your whole family is together." Jiang Youli, who was standing by the door, turned around when she heard footsteps.
After saying that, she pushed Qi Huan's wheelchair to make way for Jiang Xing to come in.
Jiang Xing took a deep breath and almost staggered into the brightly lit living room.
Under the cold light of the crystal chandelier, everything is laid bare.
Grandpa Jiang, leaning on his ebony cane, had a face ashen with anger, his chest heaving violently. "You wicked beast... how dare you do such a heinous thing!"
Jiang Zhao stared intently at his father, his eyes burning with disbelief and near-collapse pain.
In the corner, a blond foreign man was tied up, his body covered in wounds.
Jiang Xing's gaze finally fell on his father, Jiang Yangxu.
Jiang Yangxu's clothes were disheveled, and his shoulder was injured. At this moment, he was like a trapped beast that had lost its mind, roaring desperately at Old Master Jiang. His voice was distorted and deformed due to extreme emotion.
"Dad! Just for that wicked daughter Jiang Youli, how far have you driven our whole family?! If you hadn't been so ruthless, I would never have come to this!"
Jiang Yangxu's bloodshot eyes almost bulged out, and his trembling finger pointed at his son Jiang Xing, who had just arrived. "Look at him! My son, the eldest young master of the Jiang family! And now? To get back to the Jiang family, he grovels and begs for mercy from that wretched girl Jiang Youli every day! Where is his dignity? They're not just disgracing me, they're disgracing the entire Jiang family!"
Jiang Zhao's gaze was fixed on his father's face. "Dad, why... She's my and my older brother's mother, your wife! How could you have someone kill her..."
Jiang Yangxu exploded like a powder keg that had been ignited, "What else could it be! It's all for you! So that you two brothers can go back to living a life of luxury! So that you can take back everything that rightfully belongs to you!"
"Just because of this, you're going to sacrifice me?!" Qin Yulian couldn't take it anymore and rushed out of the room, her eyes red as she hysterically questioned him.
Looking at Qin Yulian's deathly pale face, Jiang Yangxu shouted hoarsely, trying to justify himself, "Do you think I wanted this?! I did all this for the future of our two sons! For our little family to turn things around! Look at yourself, what can you do now? Huh?!"
His words were like a poisoned whip, striking Qin Yulian's heart fiercely.
“When we went to your family for help before, have you forgotten the way your brother and sister-in-law treated us? Even the servants looked at us with disdain! Tell me, what can you do for our family? You can't do anything! You're just a burden! A stumbling block! Since you can't do anything—”
Jiang Yangxu took a deep breath, his facial muscles twitching violently, and continued to roar:
"Then let's go all out! Use your life! Be a stepping stone for my two sons! That's your last value! Jiang Youli, that wretched creature, she's ruthless and heartless! As long as she's alive, our two sons will never have a chance to rise above their circumstances! Only if she goes in, and preferably never comes out, can our sons return to the Jiang family and reclaim their inheritance! I'll use your life to do it! To frame her! To make her bear the guilt of matricide! This is a do-or-die battle! It's a fight for survival! Isn't it worth it?!"
"Dad... I don't need... I don't need you to do this at all..." Jiang Zhao felt dizzy, his vision blurred, and all his strength was drained away.
A profound sense of absurdity and nausea made his throat bob, and he almost vomited.
Jiang Xing stood in the shadows, her lips trembling violently, moving several times, but unable to utter a single word.
He instinctively wanted to look at his mother, but he was afraid to see her despair at that moment. He could only clench his fists tightly, his nails digging deep into his palms, trying to use the physical pain to fight against the tearing of his soul.
"Snapped!"
A crisp slap shattered the suffocating silence.
Qin Yulian staggered and rushed to Jiang Yangxu.
She slapped him with all her might, carrying the disillusionment of thirty years of marriage and the deep-seated hatred of being abandoned.
Jiang Yangxu was knocked to the side by the blow, and his cheek instantly became red and swollen.
Qin Yulian chuckled softly, the sound particularly eerie in the deathly silent living room, filled with a despairing mockery.
Then, the laughter grew louder and sharper, eventually turning into hysterical questioning:
"Jiang Yangxu, your words are so high-sounding! To exchange my life for my son's future? Hahahaha... I've been married to you for thirty years! Thirty years! I've borne you children, shared your ups and downs! And in the end..."
She abruptly stopped laughing, her bloodshot eyes fixed on Jiang Yangxu with venomous intensity. Her voice suddenly rose, sharp enough to pierce the roof, "In the end, in your eyes, I'm just a stepping stone that can be discarded at will?!"
She pointed at Jiang Yangxu's nose, her body trembling violently with extreme anger and humiliation: "Jiang Yangxu! You heartless bastard! You're not even human! You're a complete beast! You schemed against me... you actually schemed to kill me! Hahahaha... I, Qin Yulian, was truly blind! Blind for a full thirty years!"
"enough!"
A deep, aged yet authoritative shout rang out. Old Master Jiang slammed his ebony cane on his hand, his wrinkled face showing profound weariness and a resolute coldness.
His gaze shifted to Jiang Youli, who remained as calm as an outsider, the only person he had personally chosen to support the Jiang family.
“Youli,” Old Master Jiang’s voice carried a desolate tone of having settled things, “Jiang Yangxu has committed such a heinous and outrageous act, and the evidence is irrefutable. There’s no need to ask this old man for his opinion anymore. After dawn, hand him over to the police station along with the killer and all the evidence.”
"Dad! You can't do this! You can't send me in!" Jiang Yangxu felt as if he had been struck by lightning. The frenzied flush on his face instantly faded, leaving only ashen fear.
He suddenly collapsed at Old Master Jiang's feet, clutching his father's leg tightly, and wailed:
"Dad! Listen to me! It wasn't me! It really wasn't me! This assassin was hired by Long Yuan! He ordered me to do it! He was the one who came up with the idea! I was just... just bewitched by him! Dad! You have to believe me! I'm your son! You can't abandon me, Dad!"
