Zhan Junheng panicked.
“Uncle, Ji’an is my son! Plus, we’ve already asked him. He confessed to us that it wasn’t him who wanted to kill Jing Qian. It was Shuyu who did this. He only got orders from Shuyu to do so, which was why he helped her get those men on the Secret Web. He had no idea that the person that Shuyu wanted to kill was Jing Qian. Those men… They contacted Shuyu, not Ji’an.”
Zhan Junheng couldn’t believe what he was saying as well. It was obvious that the other party obviously already knew that Ji’an was the one who contacted those men since they already had the information.
But…
They were family and this matter could be easily forgiven as long as he could come up with an explanation.
“Ji’an doesn’t have any grudges with Jing Qian. Why would he try to kill Jing Qian? Plus… Isn’t Jing Qian standing here just fine?”
Zhan Junheng’s words humored Zhan Lichuan.
“If anything were to happen to her, even if it was only one strand of her hair, your entire family would be dead by now.”
Zhan Lichuan’s words gave all of them a shock and the entire room was once again filled with an eerie silence.
Jing Qian was the only one who found him handsome as she stared at Zhan Lichuan’s cold, threatening face.
“Ah Chuan, Ji’an is your cousin-brother, and only 23. He is so young. How could you be so heartless as to send him to jail?!”
“Young?” Zhan Lichuan looked at Zhan Juheng, his eyes were filled with disgust. “If he was really that young, it wouldn’t be a death penalty then. You should see if he could fight for a life sentence in jail.”
“What?!” Zhan Junheng was shocked. “You want him to be in jail for the rest of his life?!”
“Uncle, I am not the one who is going to decide. It is the judge. Zhan Ji’an tried to murder a civilian and he is a horrible person. Don’t you think that he should be in jail?”
“He’s still young and he is your brother! They say that brothers are like parts of your body, and women are just like clothes. Even if you are deeply in love with your wife, you shouldn’t neglect your brothers!”
Seeing how Zhan Junheng was saying this with such confidence, Zhan Lichuan smirked, but there was a cold, murderous look in his eyes.
“Uncle, you’re right.”
Zhan Renmian and his family lit up with hope, but before they could celebrate, they heard Zhan Lichuan saying, “But look outside. There are so many people with missing body parts. Have you seen any without clothes?”
Zhan Renmian and his family became speechless.
“Don’t tell me that he’s still young. He may be young, but is he as young as Qianqian? Qianqian is still a girl, and he decided to hire men to kill her. Qianqian is my wife. Uncle, you should be happy that I have not hired men from the Secret Web to kill him. Instead, I have sent him to the authorities. Therefore, leave when you are asked to and get him to reflect on his actions in jail for the rest of his life. Or else, if I change my mind, we won’t be able to move past this so easily.”
Zhan Renmian stared at Zhan Lichuan in rage.
“Plus, I’ve just found the micro-cameras on Zhan Kunyu and Zhan Yihe’s bodies. Are you sure you weren’t aware of this, Second Grandfather? Since you already knew about it, I’m sure that it was Zhan Ji’an who told you to do so.”
When Zhan Lichuan noticed the change of expression on their faces, he snorted and commented, “Trying to get intel for Zhan Shuyu to see if I have fully recovered? If I did, would you be planning for another accident?”
