Chapter 93 The Truth Revealed! Your Good Days Are Over!
"Arrested...arrested?"
Li Weiguo stared at the heavily armed soldiers in front of him, and the menacing-looking security officer at the head of the group. His mind went blank.
He couldn't understand it.
how so?
How did they find this place?
Wen Xue was so frightened that she collapsed to the ground, trembling like a leaf in the autumn wind.
"Comrade...you...you must have made a mistake?"
Li Weiguo tried to remain calm, but his voice was trembling.
"We...we were just taking a walk here..."
"walk?"
The head security officer sneered.
He took the black Sony tape recorder out of his pocket and pressed play.
"...Qin Lie! He's crippled!"
"...What kind of trouble can a cripple cause?"
"...We should have just blown up the ship back then, so that their bodies would be completely obliterated..."
"...Let that bitch Jiang Wu live a life of widowhood! That's worse than letting them die!"
A series of crystal-clear conversations, filled with malice and smugness, came from the tape recorder.
It was their very "masterpiece" just now.
The moment Li Weiguo and Wen Xue heard the recording, their faces turned deathly pale.
"No...this isn't what we said! It's fabricated! It's a setup!"
Wenxue screamed and tried to grab the tape recorder like a madwoman.
Two female soldiers immediately stepped forward, one on each side, and pinned her to the ground.
"take away!"
The security officer didn't waste any more words with them and waved his hand coldly.
The cold handcuffs bound their wrists.
The biting cold chilled them from head to toe.
They knew it was over.
Everything is over.
...
It was the same interrogation room.
It was still that glaring incandescent light.
However, this time, the people sitting in the chairs were Li Weiguo and Wen Xue.
Faced with irrefutable evidence, any attempt at sophistry appears pale and powerless.
Their psychological defenses completely collapsed the moment the recording finished playing.
"It was her! She instigated me!"
Li Weiguo was the first to break down. He pointed at Wen Xue across from him, looking like a mad dog.
"It's all because of that bitch! She's been whispering in my ear, saying that Qin Lie stole my position! Saying that Jiang Wu looks down on me!"
"It was her idea! She said that as long as Qin Lie doesn't come back, the position of chief of staff will still be mine!"
"She seduced me! She used her body to tempt me! I... I was momentarily bewitched! Comrade! I'm the victim!"
"You're talking nonsense! Li Weiguo! You're slandering me!"
Wen Xue went mad when she heard Li Weiguo shift all the blame onto her.
"It was clearly you! You were jealous of Qin Lie! You were unwilling to accept being demoted!"
"You're the one who approached me, saying you wanted to cooperate with me! You said that as long as I help you, you'll make me the deputy head of the cultural troupe after it's all done!"
"Changing the oil line, loosening the antenna—these were all your ideas! They have nothing to do with me! I just... I just like Brother Qin, and I hate that Jiang Wu stole him away! I never intended to kill him!"
Two venomous snakes, driven to the brink of destruction, begin to tear each other apart in a frenzy before the end of the world.
They used all the dirtiest and most vicious words to describe each other.
They exposed all the shameful things that couldn't be brought to light.
Outside the interrogation room, separated by a one-way glass partition.
Qin Lie, Political Commissar Wang, and the base commander were quietly watching the farce unfold inside.
Their faces were expressionless.
"Beasts! Both of you are beasts!"
The commander's fists clenched so tightly they cracked.
He spent his life on the battlefield and saw countless enemies.
But he had never seen such despicable, vicious, and inhumane internal scum as these two before.
Driven by his own selfish desires, he didn't hesitate to kill more than twenty people!
This is no longer a simple crime; it is a betrayal of the entire military and the entire country!
"Notify the military court."
The commander turned around, his voice as cold as ice.
"Tomorrow, the trial will be held publicly!"
"I want everyone to see what the consequences are for betraying comrades and murdering fellow soldiers!"
The second day of the public hearing took place on the base's large playground.
Thousands of officers, soldiers, and their families packed the venue to the brim.
When Li Weiguo and Wen Xue, dressed in prison uniforms and shackled, were led to the dock, a deafening roar of angry curses erupted from the crowd.
"Traitor! Execute him!"
"Murderer! Pay with your life!"
"Shameless slut! Drown in a pig cage!"
The families of the fallen soldiers cried and shouted, wanting to rush onto the stage and tear the two culprits apart.
If it weren't for the guards stopping them, the scene would have been out of control long ago.
The presiding judge read out their crimes and the court's verdict on the spot.
Li Weiguo was convicted of intentional homicide, treason, and sabotage of military facilities, and sentenced to death with immediate execution.
Wen Xue was convicted of intentional homicide (as an accomplice) and framing someone, and was sentenced to life imprisonment for multiple crimes.
"No—! I don't want to! I don't want to go to jail!"
Wenxue went completely insane the moment she heard the verdict.
She struggled desperately, trying to escape.
Her gaze searched frantically through the crowd, finally landing on Jiang Wu, who was being pushed in a wheelchair by Qin Lie and sitting in the first row.
"Jiang Wu! It's you! You're the one who ruined me!"
With all her might, she uttered the most vicious curse.
"I'll haunt you even as a ghost! I curse you! I curse you and your child to die a horrible death—!"
Her sharp, piercing voice echoed throughout the entire playground.
Qin Lie's face instantly turned ashen, and he instinctively tried to get up.
Jiang Wu reached out and gently pressed his arm.
She slowly raised her head, meeting Wen Xue's resentful gaze, her face expressionless.
He just looked at her calmly and indifferently.
It's like watching a clown putting on a ridiculous final act.
Wen Xue's curses were muffled by a soldier using a rag.
She was dragged away from the trial table by two soldiers, like a dead dog.
The sunlight was blinding.
It shone on everyone's face.
The gloom that had shrouded the island finally dissipated completely at this moment.
Jiang Wu turned her head and glanced at Qin Lie beside her.
She gently placed her hand on her protruding belly, a faint, relieved smile appearing on her face.
She seemed to feel the little one inside her kick her as well.
It was as if they were cheering for their victory.
