Chapter 157 Crushing Hope!



He also said that he had a very important message that he wanted to tell you in person.

Jiang Si's reaction to this was quite indifferent, and the disdain in her eyes was clearly visible.

Who does he think he is, threatening to go on a hunger strike? He really thinks he's something special.

"Deputy Director Li, could you please pass on a message to him for me?"

Hearing that she didn't intend to meet him, Deputy Director Li didn't press the matter. "Okay, go ahead."

Jiang Si cleared her throat twice. "Just tell him that people like him are just wasting the food of the working people."

"If he wants to go on a hunger strike, then he should go on it for a few more days. Otherwise, I'll look down on him!"

"By the way, if he dies, remember to notify Shen Qingqing and Shen Qingyue to come back and collect his body."

"The siblings are currently working in the countryside in Xishuang City, Yunnan Province. You can find their address at the city's educated youth office."

"..."

Deputy Director Li was taken aback. Although, well, this person did indeed deserve what he got.

But wouldn't being so direct be a bad idea?

"Don't worry, Deputy Director Li, if Shen Xiuwen wanted to die, he would have died long ago. He wouldn't have waited until today."

Jiang Si had already guessed that she would go with Deputy Director Li today.

Perhaps the moment he enters the detention center, Shen Xiuwen will kneel down before him.

Next, he will cry and apologize to himself.

Although the two have severed ties, in most people's eyes, no matter how bad a father is, he is still a father!

What kind of logic is there in a father kneeling before his child?

So when he knelt down, didn't he put pressure on himself?

If we were to think of people in a more despicable light, Shen Xiuwen might even pin the blame on Lin Yueru.

After all, Lin Yueru has now been exiled to the Northwest Farm, so it's up to him to decide who is right and who is wrong.

Jiang Si wasn't stupid; she knew that Shen Xiuwen's fuss today was aimed at getting her to let him off the hook out of consideration for their past relationship.

But he didn't even consider that there was no affection left between them.

wrong!

He must have known, otherwise he wouldn't have said he had important news to tell me.

If Jiang Si wasn't mistaken, Shen Xiuwen must have made two preparations.

If his self-inflicted injury fails, he will use this information to exchange for his freedom for the rest of his life.

The only bargaining chip he could offer was the batch of antiques that had been transported to Guangzhou.

Unfortunately, what he didn't know was...

Jiang Si had already pocketed those items and shifted the blame to the other side of the sea.

Thinking of this, Jiang Si raised an eyebrow.

Of course she had to share such important news!

“Deputy Director Li, I have nothing to say to someone who has tried to kill me time and time again.”

"However, I have something here that I would like to trouble you to pass on to me."

After saying that, Jiang Si went back to her room and brought out a newspaper.

She bought the newspaper in Guangzhou a few months ago, just to check if those people would be caught. She never expected it to come in handy now.

Although Deputy Director Li was surprised when Jiang Si handed him the newspaper, he didn't ask any further questions.

Upon returning to his unit, he immediately went to see Shen Xiuwen.

Shen Xiuwen was detained by the Red Committee for more than four months, and then went on a hunger strike for two days.

At this moment, his cheeks were sunken and his eyes were dull; he was nowhere near as spirited as he used to be.

"Officer, where is she?"

Seeing that only Deputy Director Li and two police officers came over, Shen Xiuwen's face showed a clear hint of panic.

Deputy Director Li succinctly relayed Jiang Si's words: "She said she didn't want to see you, and that she had nothing to say to you."

"No, that's impossible!"

Shen Xiuwen couldn't believe what he was hearing. "Police officers, is it because you didn't explain things clearly to her?"

“I really have some very important news to tell her. If she misses this news, she will regret it for the rest of her life.”

"I've already told her everything I needed to say."

Deputy Director Li glanced at him, his expression complicated. "Comrade Jiang said she never wants to see you again in this lifetime."

These words were like the last straw, crushing all of Shen Xiuwen's hopes.

"Why doesn't she want to see me? I'm her father!"

"I've raised her for over twenty years, how could she treat me like this?"

What good would it do her to force me to my death?

"You should ask yourself those questions properly," Deputy Director Li scoffed.

These were originally matters of the Jiang family, and he, as an outsider, had no right to judge them.

As the law enforcement officer in these two cases, Deputy Director Li simply couldn't help but speak out.

"Shen Xiuwen, when you put all the blame on her, did you ever think that she was your biological daughter?"

"Have you considered what would happen to her if she were taken away by the Red Cross?"

"No! You're only thinking about how to get yourself out of this!"

"As a father, how can you be so shameless as to criticize your own daughter?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Deputy Director Li took a newspaper out of his bag and threw it at his face.

"Comrade Jiang asked me to give this to you. You'd better take care of yourself."

Upon hearing that it was Jiang Si who brought it, Shen Xiuwen didn't bother to reply.

He hurriedly picked up the newspapers from the ground.

He knew that Jiang Si was stubborn but soft-hearted, and he also knew that she wouldn't ask a police officer to bring a newspaper over for no reason.

Therefore, there must be some important information hidden on it.

Shen Xiuwen's guess was entirely correct; there was indeed very important news in the newspaper, but this news was like a deadly poison to him.

A few months ago, the news was published as a front-page headline.

So the moment the newspaper was opened, Shen Xiuwen saw the top line of bold text.

Counter-revolutionaries...

Transferring stolen goods...

Black eats black...

The deceased were Liu Dajiang and Liu Dahe...

These words struck Shen Xiuwen like a thunderbolt, leaving his mind blank. After staggering a few steps, he collapsed to the ground.

[Sorry, I need to bow to you all first! Relatives came from my hometown, and I've been busy entertaining them all day. I also had to run around to three different tourist attractions in one day, walking tens of thousands of steps. My legs feel like they don't belong to me anymore. I'm taking a day off, but I'll update as usual tomorrow.]
