Chapter 155 Lin Shuangyu, Life Imprisonment
Hospital corridor.
Song Yan never expected to run into him here.
Ji Song, wrapped in thick gauze, was being wheeled to his ward by a nurse when he bumped into Song Yan, who was preparing to be discharged.
The two men looked at each other in bewilderment.
Song Yan leaned against the wall, his gaze sweeping over Ji's disheveled appearance, his eyes crinkling into a smile: "President Ji, you... were beaten up like this?"
Ji Song's face was ashen, and he sneered, "Do you know who injured me?"
"Oh?" Song Yan raised an eyebrow, his tone casual. "Who has the ability to beat you up like this?"
Ji Song gritted his teeth and said, word by word, "Your brother-in-law."
The smile on Song Yan's face vanished instantly, and his eyes darkened.
Mentioning Jiang Wang makes Si Yuan feel terrible.
But he had never thought much of Ji Song either, and his tone remained sarcastic: "Is that so? Then it seems you deserve it."
Jiang Wang is not well-liked, but he generally doesn't act rashly.
"Serves him right?" Ji Song laughed, enduring the pain as he sat up. "I only said a few words to Si Yuan, and Jiang Wang attacked me so severely—I didn't expect them to have such a good relationship."
These words were like needles, precisely piercing the truth that Song Yan least wanted to admit.
What angered Song Yan even more was that Ji Song had gotten close to Si Yuan again.
His eyes suddenly turned icy cold as he stepped forward, closing in on Ji Song: "You touched her?"
“He didn’t move.” Ji Song paused deliberately, observing Song Yan’s expression. “But I can tell that Jiang Wang is protecting her fiercely. What about you?”
Song Yan didn't understand.
Ji Song continued to look at him, asking each word carefully, "Song Yan, are you really willing to watch her marry him?"
Song Yan clenched his fist so tightly that his knuckles turned white.
I'm not reconciled.
So what?
They've already gotten their marriage certificate.
Si Yuan was determined not to return to his side.
Ji Song could tell from his unreadable expression that he had taken it to heart.
He decided to strike while the iron was hot, lowering his voice as he said, "Let's join forces."
He already had a deep, sinister look, and his voice was like that of a venomous snake.
"Join forces?"
Song Yan raised his head, sneered, and took half a step back. "No matter how down on its luck the Song family is, they are still a top-tier family in Haicheng. They wouldn't stoop to cooperating with someone like you."
The powerful families from Aocheng often have somewhat shady methods, and few people are willing to do business with them.
Ji Song raised an eyebrow, scoffing at his integrity.
"You don't need to be so angry. You want Si Yuan, and I want to get revenge on Jiang Wang. We have the same goal, so why not?"
What makes you think I need you?
Song Yan's tone was unfriendly: "The Song family is not what it used to be, but it is still more valuable than you. So why should we—collud with you?"
"Because I want Jiang Wang to be unhappy even more than you do."
Ji Song smiled knowingly, "Song Yan, they haven't had a wedding yet, they've just registered their marriage. You can still get what you want."
Yes, they are not married yet.
It's not settled until the wedding is held.
Song Yan's pupils trembled slightly, and he lowered his eyes.
After a long silence, long enough that Ji Song thought he really didn't intend to join forces with him and was even preparing to leave, Song Yan suddenly spoke.
“I can… consider it.”
——
Two weeks later, Lin Shuangyu's second court hearing began.
The atmosphere inside the courthouse was solemn and dignified.
Lin Shuangyu was wearing prison clothes, his hair was messy, and his complexion was even worse than last time.
When she was led to the dock by the bailiffs, she was still looking around, clearly unaware of her mother's situation.
Lin Shuangyu then realized that none of the Lin family members had come today.
She sneered, finding it incredibly ironic.
It seems the Lin family has no intention of keeping her and has unilaterally severed ties with her.
He didn't even attend his own daughter's court hearing.
I wonder how my mother is doing... She was here last time.
However... with Ji Song's abilities, it shouldn't be difficult for him to keep his mother out of jail.
This trial will last longer than the last one.
Because there were many leads involved in the case, almost the entire morning was spent questioning Lin Shuangyu about the details of his crimes.
Lin Shuangyu admitted it with a numb expression.
Especially regarding her murders.
What were your subjective motives for killing the victim?
Lin Shuangyu suddenly smiled: "The reason? It's simple, I don't like her."
Upon hearing this, those listening were stunned.
The reason someone died... is it really that simple?
That's absurd.
The victim's mother suddenly burst into tears and, together with her husband, cursed Lin Shuangyu. They rushed forward to hit Lin Shuangyu, and in an instant, everyone was enraged.
The judge struck the gavel and warned them several times before they gradually calmed down.
Lin Shuangyu said, "She was lucky and drew the dress I wanted to take. I asked her to give it to me, but she wouldn't. So I tried to scare her with a cigarette butt."
She said expressionlessly, "Who knew she was so timid? In her struggle to protect her face, she fell out of the window."
She looked at Si Yuan and said slowly, "Unlike you, you were much more obedient back then, never fighting back or talking back when you were hit or scolded."
Yuan paused, raised her eyes to meet Lin Shuangyu's gaze, her eyes showing no emotion whatsoever.
There was none of the pain she had imagined.
Lin Shuangyu's smile gradually froze on his face.
She hadn't expected Si Yuan to be so calm, to become so indifferent.
I thought it would leave an indelible mark on her heart, making her feel unbearable pain every time she thought of me...
But to my surprise, Si Yuan didn't react at all.
Finally, the judge read out the verdict.
"The defendant, Lin Shuangyu, was convicted of multiple crimes, including intentional homicide, intentional injury, and affray, and was sentenced to life imprisonment."
Upon hearing this, Lin Shuangyu was completely unable to remain calm.
No... she has already hired a well-known lawyer in the industry.
I'm willing to pay compensation to the family of the deceased, even tens of millions...
How could it be life imprisonment?
"Impossible! You made a mistake!" She struggled to break free, but the bailiffs held her down firmly. "Si Yuan! You're the one who ruined me! I won't let you get away with this, I'll definitely come back for you!"
Si Yuan slowly raised her head, met her scarlet gaze, and suddenly smiled.
She raised her wrist, revealing the scars of varying depths, and silently mouthed two words: "Thank you, I'll be waiting."
Thank you for your relentless pressure back then, which taught me to fight back.
Thank you for your current self-inflicted suffering, which allows me to completely break free from the shadows of the past.
Thank you for still being so vicious, allowing me to wholeheartedly destroy you.
Lin Shuangyu saw her lip movements clearly, and was so angry that he trembled all over. He roared as he was dragged away by the bailiffs.
"Si Yuan!"
"You'll get your comeuppance!"
"You're even crueler than me! You've ruined my life!"
Si Yuan stood up expressionlessly, ignoring everyone and leaving all the chaos and settling behind.
Lin Shuangyu, enjoy your prison life.
I hope you will be in more pain than I was back then.
This is Si Yuan's blessing to Lin Shuangyu.
