Chapter 89: Show your cards and stop pretending!
When Jiang Weilong heard Jiang Shiyi ask this, he instantly understood everything. He suppressed his heartache and said solemnly, "Not yet, because I want to give you a chance to surrender."
Jiang Shiyi's eyes suddenly turned red: "Brother, didn't you just say that you would protect me forever? I've suffered so much to get home, do you have the heart to send me to jail?"
Jiang Weilong's Adam's apple rolled several times before he said sternly, "Shi Yi, of course I can't bear to do this, but I also said earlier that I won't protect you. No matter who it is, if they do something wrong, they must accept the punishment."
Jiang Shiyi moved closer to Jiang Weilong, staring at him intently, and begged, "Brother, I'm not asking you to protect me. Can you just pretend you know nothing? Please leave me a way out."
As she spoke, she fell heavily to her knees at his feet, tugging at his sleeves and begging bitterly, "Brother, if I go to jail, my life will be ruined. Please let me go, please?"
Jiang Weilong immediately bent down and helped her up.
Jiang Shiyi looked up at him and asked expectantly, "Brother, is this okay?"
Jiang Weilong looked at her with tears in his eyes. Without the slightest hesitation, he said firmly, "No."
Jiang Shiyi suddenly became anxious. She almost roared, "Brother, are you really going to push me to the brink of death? What will happen if Mom, Dad, and Grandpa find out? You know Grandpa's health well. He's already this old and can't take any more. Do you want to kill him?"
Jiang Weilong said with a stern expression: "Shi Yi, Grandpa is a veteran who has experienced life and death on the battlefield. If he knew, he would support me in doing this."
He paused and added, "I'm a soldier first, and your brother second." He then extended his hand towards Jiang Shiyi and said, "Shiyi, come with me now and surrender yourself, and seek leniency from the government."
Jiang Shiyi stood there, glancing at him sideways, and asked coldly, "Brother, are you sure you want to do this?"
Jiang Weilong's voice softened a bit: "Shi Yi, I'm doing this for your own good. Turning yourself in is your only way out."
A hint of coldness inadvertently flashed across Jiang Shiyi's eyes, and then she wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and changed the subject: "Okay, I'll go with you. But I don't know when I can come back. Brother, can you hug me again?"
Jiang Weilong didn't expect her to suddenly change her mind, but he nodded with relief: "Okay." As he said that, he opened his arms towards Jiang Shiyi.
Jiang Shiyi walked up to him with heavy steps, and her eyes suddenly turned cold when she was about to hug him. She quickly took out a dagger from her trouser pocket and stabbed it towards Jiang Weilong's heart with all her strength.
When the knife stabbed into Jiang Weilong's chest, his eyes showed no surprise except sadness. He did not question her, but just held back his tears and said with a sad face as he looked at his sister who was stabbing him with a dagger:
"That afternoon, I was guarding the ward door. I thought of what the public security comrades said, and suddenly I understood why the instructor asked my family to bring me food. I guessed at that time that you might be Wang Jun's accomplice. I even thought about what you would do after the matter was exposed."
"When I saw you wearing pants, unlike your usual self, I… I knew you were going to attack me. But I wanted to take a gamble, and I didn't expect you to actually do it to me."
Seeing Jiang Weilong's ashen face, Jiang Shiyi gritted his teeth and said, "Jiang Weilong, stop pretending here. You have the heart to put me in jail, so why can't I do anything to you? You forced me to do this."
Jiang Weilong's forehead was covered with tiny beads of sweat. He endured the pain, forced himself to stand firm, and patiently persuaded: "Shi Yi, no matter whether you hate me or blame me, just listen to my advice. Turn back and turn yourself in. Your only way out is to turn yourself in. Don't worry, I won't tell anyone about the fact that you stabbed me."
Jiang Shiyi leaned close to his ear, a sinister smile on his face: "Jiang Weilong, of course you won't tell anyone, because the dead can't speak."
"Shi Yi, you..."
Before Jiang Weilong could finish his words, Jiang Shiyi suddenly pulled the dagger out of him. Bright red blood instantly splattered all over her face, but she didn't care.
Her eyes were red and she gritted her teeth, using all her strength to stab the dagger into Jiang Weilong's heart again.
Jiang Weilong closed his eyes in despair, but Jiang Shiyi's dagger did not fall as he expected. Shiyi's broken scream then rang in his ears. He suddenly opened his eyes and saw a public security comrade suddenly appear behind her, holding a gun to her head.
Jiang Weilong looked at the public security officer who had appeared out of nowhere and asked in surprise, "Comrade Public Security, what...what's going on?"
Seeing that Jiang Weilong was still playing dumb, Jiang Shiyi replied coldly, "Jiang Weilong, why are you pretending to be innocent? Didn't you all conspire to ambush and catch me here all along?"
Seeing that Jiang Shiyi had misunderstood him, Jiang Weilong hurriedly explained: "Shiyi, I didn't. I don't know why he suddenly appeared here."
Jiang Shiyi narrowed his cold eyes slightly, his eyes filled with resentment: "Jiang Weilong, are you trying to use me to seek credit from your superiors and yet you refuse to admit it? You are such a hypocrite. It seems that your feelings for your sister are just this level. No wonder your Jiang family hasn't been able to find her for all these years."
Jiang Weilong thought Jiang Shiyi was just angry and that's why he said that. He whispered, "Shiyi, you misunderstood me. I don't want you to make more mistakes. I want you to..."
"Alright, Jiang Weilong, I'm already dead, so there's no need to keep playing games with you. Since you've ruined me, how can I let you off easy? To tell you the truth, I'm not Jiang Shiyi, but Wang Jiaojiao from Linxi Village."
Jiang Weilong froze in place, his voice trembling: "How is this possible? Shi Yi, I know you hate and blame me, but you can't deny me just because you're angry!"
Wang Jiaojiao, revealing her true face, looked at the man in front of her and sneered, "Why would I lie to you? I came to the Jiang family just to occupy Jiang Shiyi's position and live a good life. As for my desire to marry Gu Yunting, it was just because I was afraid that you would expose my plan for a way out."
She clenched her fists, her eyes filled with regret. "I should have stayed in the countryside. It would have been better than what I'm facing now!"
Jiang Weilong still shook his head in disbelief: "Shiyi, please stop talking in anger, okay? If you were not Shiyi, how could you possibly remember her childhood, and how could you have the handkerchief Uncle Gu gave her in your hand?"
Wang Jiaojiao raised her eyebrows slightly, her eyes full of contempt: "That's because the real Jiang Shiyi is my sister-in-law, so I know all these things. As for this handkerchief, I stole it from her."
"Is your sister-in-law Shi Yi?"
Jiang Weilong's pupils constricted, and he instantly lost all his strength. He asked in a harsh voice, "I remember going to Linxi Village to investigate before. They...they said your sister-in-law died a long time ago?"
