Until a punch landed on the face.

”Boom—”

The whole person was directly knocked to the ground, the back hitting against the side table, blurring his vision with pain.

”Damn you, how dare you screw me over!”

Jiang Zhaolin was already very afraid of him. At his low roar, he was scared to death, especially since he shouldn’t have been here at all.

Thinking of the sudden appearance of Jiang Jinsang, Jiang Zhaolin felt as if the world had collapsed.

Exposed?

It’s over—

He was completely finished.

The overwhelming turmoil in his heart completely overshadowed the physical pain. He glimpsed at Jiang Shiyi’s side, his eyes reddened like blood.

The setting sun fell through the window, draping the whole room in a bloody hue—

Two words popped into his mind:

Hell!

”Hey—” The police had already come over, trying to hold back the man, but he had already believed that Jiang Zhaolin had betrayed him, so he kicked him in the stomach.

He cried out in pain, the immense agony bringing his mind back, his body curling up, spasming with pain.

”Enough, stop hitting!” The police reached out to hold him back.

”Jiang Zhaolin, you bastard, you played me, didn’t you.”

”Talking sweetly about kidnapping together, I pay the money, and you act as the savior of the child, I run away, and you become the hero to your son and his family, returning to the Jiang Family.”

”You played your cards well, didn’t you.”

The man’s words plunged Jiang Zhaolin into complete despair. At this point, he no longer cared about the pain in his body and looked towards Jiang Chengsi and Jiang Shiyi, ”Don’t listen to his nonsense, I’m not, I didn’t, I...”

Jiang Chengsi merely lifted a hand to scratch his head, seeming extremely impatient.

And Jiang Shiyi just kept a cold face:

”When my call was suddenly cut off, you were quite happy, weren’t you?”

”I wasn’t, I really, ah—”

Before Jiang Zhaolin could finish his sentence, the police held back Qing Ge, who rushed over again to kick him.

”You weren’t? I’ve already told you, once I’m done for, you can forget about running away, if I’m dying, we’re all dying together!”

”I’m a smuggler, I’m not a good person, but you? Putting on an act, doing dirtier deeds behind the scenes than I ever could, at least I have some humanity, I wouldn’t frame someone with something like birds...” Qing Ge frowned, ”That’s supposed to be your niece-in-law.”

”What did you tell me before, just to use some dead birds to scare people, it ends up being known by everyone, even getting on the news.”

”I was dumb back then, didn’t expect to be screwed over by you behind my back this time!”

”All these years, what have you smuggled through me, I have an account in my heart, I’ll tell the police, we’ll...”

”See you in prison!”

Jiang Zhaolin’s body shook, his face turning drastically pale with horror once more, wrapped in an unprecedented fear.

As if it would keep pulling him down, dragging him into an endless abyss.

For someone like Qing Ge, a desperado, once caught by the police, there’s only one outcome, taking whoever they can down with them, how could he cover for him.

”Heh—how dare you cross me, take me for a fool?”

”If I knew earlier, I should’ve dealt with you—”

”Hey, watch your words!” The policeman reminded him.

”Officer, I was partnering with him for smuggling, we brothers provided the source, he was responsible for selling it, when the factory wasn’t doing well, couldn’t pay us the money, he suggested kidnapping his granddaughter, said his son was rich.”

The officer glanced at Jiang Zhaolin.

”I, I didn’t, I didn’t...” Jiang Zhaolin was already taken aback by the sudden change, didn’t even know how to defend himself, could only repeatedly and stiffly deny it.

”And this bastard turned around and sold me out, it was his idea, he was the mastermind.”

Jiang Zhaolin’s pupils trembled, ”I wasn’t the mastermind, I wasn’t—”

”Yes, you fucking were!”

The sudden shout startled Jiang Zhaolin so much that he curled up and didn’t dare to speak.

Jiang Chengsi smirked, a cowardly and bullying kind of guy.

It really takes such scum to handle.

Jiang Zhaolin suddenly seemed to come back to his senses, ”I didn’t betray you, I didn’t...”

”You didn’t? If you didn’t, how come they showed up so suddenly when we were working, such a coincidence?”

”That road was so long, they just happened to block it there;

”Again, such a coincidence, stopped our car;

”Again, such a coincidence, knew we were smuggling, caught us?”
