Chapter 139 I Hate Everyone in the Ji Family
Ji Jinyu's words were firm and resolute.
A fierce glint flashed in the old woman's eyes: "What nonsense are you spouting?"
"Grandma, even now, do you still think everything you've done is flawless? Thirty years ago, Grandpa started the New City project, and it was through this project that he met the daughter of a business partner. Then, Grandpa had an affair. So you hate him, you pretend you don't know, and you give Grandpa a slow-acting poison every day, causing him to succumb to the poison and eventually pass away. Afterwards, fearing that the poison would be detected on Grandpa's body, you took the body away. And you claimed to the outside world that Grandpa's old illness had relapsed. You didn't appear at the funeral, or even at some of Grandpa's funeral arrangements. Everyone thought you were heartbroken, but in reality, you were trying to absolve yourself of any guilt, creating an alibi for yourself."
Ji Jinyu spoke calmly and deliberately, dropping a bombshell on everyone present. The moment the bomb hit the water's surface, the aftershocks swept and splashed, sending waves several meters high into the air.
Someone was so startled that they dropped their water glass on the ground without even realizing it.
The old lady raised her head, adjusted her hair, and maintained her most elegant demeanor: "Jinyu, what you're saying is just your guess and conjecture."
"Who says I have no evidence?" he said, enunciating each word clearly: "The New City Project! Underneath the concrete! Buried is the body of Ji Tianqing! That is, my grandfather!"
The old woman looked at him as if he were a madman: "If that's what you're saying, then I should have cremated Ji Tianqing after he died. Why should I bury his body somewhere else?"
"Because you hate, you hate betrayal. Since he cheated on you because of the New City project, you buried him there, so he couldn't rest in peace. This was your punishment for him, and also an outlet for your hatred. So you were afraid the project would restart, so you and Jiang Fu conspired to set a trap to pin the blame for corruption and the death on the Ji family, so that the New City project would be completely shelved!"
"As the person in charge of the project, you naturally couldn't tolerate Ji Peiheng, so you orchestrated a car accident on the highway when he returned from Liucheng. However, you didn't expect that he didn't take the Beijing-Liuzhou Expressway that day, and your plan failed. You know what he has found out, and you are afraid of him, so you asked Jiang Fu to completely expose Ji Peiheng and even had your people infiltrate the president's office to forge an email."
Ji Jinyu became increasingly agitated: "Grandma, you've gone mad! Ji Peiheng is your own grandson, how could you do something so ruthless as to kill him?"
The meeting room was filled with gasps from the shareholders; they must have overheard some earth-shattering secret.
Some people secretly glanced at the old woman sitting motionless in the main seat, finding it hard to believe that this frail old woman was the one manipulating everything behind the scenes.
Ji Jinyu said, "At this time, the police should already be digging, and we should have results soon."
The old lady suddenly asked, "Ji Peiheng had already guessed it, so he obediently took the bait to lure me out?"
"yes."
The old lady smiled but didn't say anything.
The entire conference room remained silent. Ten minutes later, the sound of police sirens grew louder as they approached.
The old lady closed her eyes, clasped her hands together, as if she had entered a meditative state.
The police came in from outside and went straight to her: "Chen Bichen, come with us."
The old woman stretched out her hands and let them handcuff her.
...
With a loud bang.
Lightning and thunder roared menacingly across the sky.
At the construction site of the new city project, the roar of machinery breaking through the earth can be heard everywhere.
Amidst thunder and rain, police searched inch by inch in the icy rain.
Suddenly someone shouted, "Something's up!"
Dozens of police officers and police dogs ran over.
Stepping back into the new city construction site, the old lady looked up at the towering buildings that had been erected, a mocking smile playing on her lips.
She seemed to hear a voice from years ago, someone who once said to her, "Bichen, the Ji family was built up by you and me. The New City project is a gift I gave you. Let it witness my heart for you."
A buzzing sound filled her ears, and Hua Man turned around, her hysterical voice ringing out again: "Chen Bichen, I just love her, I want to be with her, I've had enough of you. The New City project is where we fell in love, let's get a divorce, let's part amicably..."
The icy rain poured mercilessly onto her aged face; she thought she had long forgotten the past thirty years.
Unexpectedly, some memories are buried from ancient times, etched into her very bones, and she may never forget this profound betrayal until her death.
"Shen Bichen, do you plead guilty?"
A corpse, long since reduced to ashes, was placed at his feet, and the emerald green prayer beads in Chen Bichen's hand were stretched to their limit at this moment.
"Smack!"
The prayer beads could not withstand the force and broke at that moment, each bead rolling into the mud and obscuring their luster.
"Hahahaha...hahahaha..."
Chen Bichen suddenly burst into laughter.
Silence reigned around her; in the cold, heavy rain, her laughter was shrill and mocking.
"Ji Tianqing, it's been a long time."
"Are you doing well here?"
"It must be quite nice. Didn't you say this is the place where you two fell in love? I'm burying you here. You should be very happy."
Everyone looked at her and burst into laughter.
She stopped laughing, her eyes turning bloodshot as she fiercely swept her gaze over everyone present: "I plead not guilty!"
"He's the one who seduced me and then abandoned me, he's the one who betrayed me, he's the guilty one. Back then, the Ji family was on the verge of collapse, and it was me, me and the Shen family behind me, who helped him support the Ji family. Without me, the Ji family would have gone bankrupt more than thirty years ago. I've given him so much. How can he repay me? He said the New City project was a gift to me, and then he met that bitch, and they got together. He even lied to me about getting a fake divorce for that woman, trying to take away my share of the assets and leave me with nothing. Hahahaha..."
"Is this something a human being would do? After I found out, he actually knelt before me, begging me to let them be together, saying they were truly in love... What am I then, a joke? Fine, since you don't want a peaceful life, then die! I killed him! I'll bury him here, so he can never rest in peace!"
Ji Jinyu stood in the rain, looking at the woman in his memory, who was elegant and calm, with bloodshot eyes and hysteria.
He murmured, "Grandma..."
"Don't call me grandma! I hate you all! I hate every member of the Ji family! It was you Ji family who betrayed me!"
The wall symbolizes parallelism and uprightness.
Chen means calm and composed.
This is the name her parents gave her, which subtly reflects their expectations for her.
She was once the proud eldest daughter of the Shen family, the apple of her parents' eye.
It wasn't until she married into the Ji family that they drove her from a quiet and self-respecting woman into madness. Ji Qingtian betrayed and deceived her, and even her son told her to be patient and forgive Ji Qingtian.
She would always remember the time she was pushed to the ground after a big argument with Ji Qingtian, her palm cut by shards of broken porcelain.
Her son, Cheng'an, came back and said to her, "Mother, please stop arguing with Father. He's already this old. Can't we just live a peaceful life?"
Ha ha ha ha……
She smiled at that moment.
It turns out that in everyone's eyes, it was she who didn't want to live a good life.
Okay, since that's the case, she'll pretend she has no husband and no son!
She is simply herself, Chen Bichen!
