Chapter 427: Chapter 428 The Police are Here
Giving Ye Xingbei to his son was initially his best move.
If his son could have treated Ye Xingbei as his own daughter, she would now be his son’s best talisman.
Regrettably…his son was too foolish; he let go of the protective talisman himself.
Jiang Huan’s grandchildren had reunited, and they were all brilliant. Jiang Huan would be able to rest peacefully in his grave.
But his own son might be sent to prison, and lose his life.
If his son dies, what will happen to his grandchildren?
He had been fighting and scheming his whole life, leading a life worse than death. Was he destined to leave his descendants with no peace, too?
He looked at Ye Xingbei and slowly started, “Beibei, I owe your grandparents, your parents… But I’ve never wronged you.”
“The inheritance that belonged to your father and uncles has been snatched away by your brothers. Now, the Jiang Group is but an empty shell. Could you, for the one year that me and your third uncle took care of you, let your third uncle off?”
“Do you realize what you’re saying?” Ye Xingbei stared back at him, clenching her fists,” You admitted to killing my parents! How can you, with a murderous vendetta against me, dare ask me for anything? We won’t let this go! We’ll definitely investigate! If my parents were killed by Jiang Zhengxing, we definitely won’t let him off!”
“Exactly!” Xie Jinfei glared back at Jiang Lin with bloodshot eyes,” You just expect us to let it go? Who the hell do you think you are! We will continue to investigate until we find evidence!”
Jiang Lin chose to ignore Xie Jinfei.
He just stared at Ye Xingbei, his eyes reflecting profound sadness, desolation.
Looking at Ye Xingbei, he couldn’t help but think–if only his son hadn’t made the mistake of driving Ye Xingbei out of the Jiang Family, would things have turned out differently today?
If Ye Xingbei had been his son’s most beloved daughter, if father and daughter had been closer, Gu Junzhu would definitely not have helped Ye Xingbei investigate his eldest son, the second son’s wrongdoing.
Then his secret wouldn’t have been revealed either.
Gu Junzhu would have helped the Jiang family against the Xie family, thus preserving the Jiang Family’s position as the wealthiest in Jiang City.
He knew, his son was filled with regret too.
Regret for not raising Ye Xingbei like his own daughter from the beginning.
But it was all too late now.
Suddenly the butler knocks and enters, reporting respectfully,” Young Master, Young Madam, the police are here.”
Ye Xingbei was stumped, and she glanced at Gu Junzhu.
Gu Junzhu shook his head,” I didn’t call them.”
“I did,” Jiang Lin replied with a relieved smile on his face,” At this point, you guys don’t need to be involved, I’ll turn myself in, a form of turning myself in.”
Xie Jinfei glared at him fiercely, spits in his direction, “You’re lower than an animal! Even if you turn yourself in, you won’t be forgiven! I guarantee, you’ll die a horrible death!”
Jiang Lin chuckled, not the least bit agitated.
Ye Xingbei looked at him, her feelings complex.
Jiang Lin’s current facade revealed her biological grandfather, Jiang Huan, didn’t it?
Kind, good-natured, forgiving, gentle.
The real Jiang Lin had killed and run, even killed his own brother and sister-in-law; he must be an extremely wicked person.
But to emulate Jiang Huan, he had to pretend to be kind and gentle, doing this day after day for several decades.
She started to believe what he said.
He must be truly weary.
Living with a mask on for decades, imitating someone else day after day, living in constant fear of revealing the smallest slip, how could he not be worn out?
