Chapter 472 The Grand Finale

Jiang Ting struggled and cried out, "No! Don't arrest me! They forced me to do this! They forced me to do this!"

Shen Mo took the documents from the agent's hands, flipping through them, his expression growing increasingly cold and stern.

Shen Mo stared at Jiang Ting with icy eyes, "Take them back to the unit for interrogation."

At 8 p.m., Jiang Ting was taken to the military interrogation room.

Jiang Ning was notified to come to the military base, just as Shen Mo came out of the interrogation room.

Upon seeing his wife, Shen Mo gently squeezed her hand. "Wife, Li Yue discovered that the person spying on you was a spy working with Jiang Ting. Her goal was to kill you."

Jiang Ning's expression immediately turned cold. "She dares to collude with the enemy and betray the country!"

Shen Mo nodded. "Jiang Ting leaked the secrets of the weapons research institute. The evidence is conclusive. Her meeting with the spies is treason."

After the military obtained the portrait, they immediately identified the person and then sent their best soldiers to track him.

On one hand, they had someone locate the spy's hideout, and on the other hand, they had someone track Dafei as he left the hideout.

It turned out that the spy had found a remote village and intended to target the women there.

Fortunately, skilled soldiers followed them all the way, preventing the spies from harming anyone and successfully arresting them.

Only after interrogating Dafei did they learn that their goal was to obtain the core data researched by Jiang Haoan at the weapons research institute.

And the person they collaborated with was Jiang Haoan's beloved daughter, Jiang Ting.

Knowing their purpose, the military set up defenses at the spy hideout in advance, watched the entire process of their transaction with Jiang Ting, and arrested them one by one, catching them red-handed.

Jiang Ting committed treason and collusion with the enemy. There was no need for interrogation; all that awaited her was legal punishment, and sentencing was inevitable.

She leaked data from a weapons research institute, seriously threatening national security.

Jiang Ting was sent to prison again; she had already been sentenced.

Jiang Ning was surprised that Jiang Ting was sentenced so quickly. In the modern world, there is a first instance and a final instance for sentencing, and those who do not accept the verdict can file an appeal.

After all, Jiang Ting has a researcher father who has contributed to the country, so she thought that at least Jiang Ting's sentencing wouldn't be so quick.

Jiang Ning asked, "What was she sentenced to?"

Shen Mo said, "A suspended death sentence."

Jiang Ning was stunned. The death sentence was suspended for two years. If Jiang Ting behaved well during this period, her sentence could be reduced. However, the circumstances of her crime were serious. Even if her sentence was reduced, she would still be sentenced to life imprisonment and spend the rest of her life in prison.

I thought Jiang Ting would turn over a new leaf after serving three years in prison.

Unexpectedly, he was imprisoned again not long after his release.

The couple, Jiang Haoan and his wife, were shocked to learn that their daughter had stolen research data and handed it over to spies.

Even the usually composed Jiang Haoan felt his legs go weak.

He swayed slightly, barely managing to stay upright by leaning against the door frame.

Jiang Haoan looked on incredulously.

He thought he had misheard.

How could Xiaoting have stolen his data!

This is a serious crime!

Jiang Haoan was pale, and Jiang Ting's sentencing was not even communicated to the couple; instead, it was posted directly on the bulletin board of the research institute's family compound.

After the sentencing announcement, Jiang Haoan clearly felt that the professors who were usually on good terms with him were all distancing themselves from him.

He couldn't even visit Jiang Ting in prison.

Jiang Ting's crime was treason, and he was a researcher at the weapons research institute, so he could not have any contact with Jiang Ting.

After the news broke that Jiang Ting had handed over the core data to the secret agents, Jiang Haoan continued to work at the research institute, but he could feel that his every move was being watched.

He may live this kind of monitored life for the rest of his life.

He never imagined that the future he had worked so hard for would be ruined by his own daughter.

***

Jiang Ting was imprisoned, and she kept waiting.

Waiting for Dad to visit me in prison.

She was the one who provided the data to the spies; it had nothing to do with her father.

Dad will be alright!

The higher-ups will definitely take her father's sake and release her after serving only a few years in prison, just like before.

But she waited and waited, and no one came. Instead, she received news that she had been sentenced.

Upon hearing that she had been sentenced to death with a two-year reprieve, Jiang Ting collapsed to the ground, her eyes filled with terror.

He went mad in prison, yelling, "No! I don't want to die!"

No matter how crazy she went in prison, no one paid any attention to her, and she was even beaten up by the prison guards.

She gets beaten every time she makes a scene.

***

Jiang Ning wasn't interested in what happened to Jiang Ting in prison.

Now she enjoys success in both her family and career.

Thanks to everyone's efforts, traditional Chinese medicine is no longer forgotten like it used to be.

Another Spring Festival has arrived.

We arrived in the 1990s.

The entire Shen family gathered in the retirement compound, with firecrackers, fireworks, and children's laughter outside.

Shen Zhiming and Xu Jin's child is almost five years old and can run around with the older children in the family.

The adults inside the house were gathered together watching the Spring Festival Gala.

At this moment, Zhiqi hurriedly ran into the house.

Behind him, Shen Lezhi also ran into the house, holding gleaming silver needles in her hand. "Brother Zhiqi, can you let me do a few acupuncture needles?"

Zhiqi hid behind Jiang Ning, "Mom, you need to control this girl."

Shen Lezhi tilted her body slightly, her eyes fixed on Zhiqi, who was hiding behind her mother. She said, "Zhiqi, it's no use looking for Mom. It's almost New Year's. I'll give you a couple of acupuncture needles, and your cold will be completely cured."

Jiang Ning also knew about Zhiqi's illness some time ago, and she smiled and said, "Zhiqi, just let Lezhi give you a couple of acupuncture treatments."

Seeing that even his mother couldn't help him, Zhiqi ran away as soon as Xiao Lezhi reached out to grab him.

Seeing the children chasing each other in the yard, Jiang Ning realized that this was much more interesting than watching the Spring Festival Gala.

She walked to the door frame and watched Zhiqi running and dodging Lezhi.

After chasing for a while, Lezhi got tired and stopped. She instructed Shen Nanxing, "Brother, go over there and stop Brother Zhiqi."

Then she looked at the little boy beside her, Shen Yifei.

"Feifei, go stand by the door. If Brother Zhiqi runs away, Sister Zhizhi won't give you any candy."

Shen Nanxing replied, "Okay."

Shen Yifei replied in a childish voice, "Don't worry, Sister Zhizhi, I definitely won't let Brother Zhiqi run away!"

Zhiqi: "..."

She spoiled her older sister since she was little, and before she knew it, she had become a little devil.

Unfortunately, this is the only girl in their family this generation, and they have spoiled her from the oldest to the youngest.

What else can we do but continue to spoil them?

As Jiang Ning watched the children playing and laughing, a blanket was suddenly draped over her shoulder.

The warmth of the man's chest drew closer, enveloping her.

Brilliant fireworks streaked across the sky outside, illuminating the courtyard with colorful light.
