Chapter 420 It was all made up by her.
"What?!"
Lin Wanrong's legs went weak, and she almost fell to the ground.
"No, it's impossible...it's impossible, you're lying to me!"
Lin Wanrong shook her head desperately.
She had never heard of surveillance cameras being installed in such a private place as a hospital ward.
"If you're trying to trick me, let me tell you, I won't fall for it!"
Seeing Lin Wanrong still struggling in her death throes, Jiang Ning shrugged and sighed.
"That day, didn't you witness Lu Junyan and I going to the hospital where Grandpa passed away?"
"..."
Lin Wanrong bit her lower lip hard, staring intently at Jiang Ning.
She tried to find a clue in Jiang Ning's face.
Even just a little bit would be fine.
However, on Jiang Ning's meticulously made-up face, there was only a confident smile.
She was looking at her too, but instead of mockery and hatred, her eyes showed pity—
The condescending sympathy of those in power for the pitiful.
That look in her eyes gave Lin Wanrong goosebumps all over.
Why is Jiang Ning looking at her like that?
What does Jiangning know?
Lin Wanrong was flustered and confused.
The more composed Jiang Ning remained, the more flustered Lin Wanrong became.
"I went to the hospital that day...and learned something very interesting..."
As he spoke, Jiang Ning turned around.
At this moment, Lu Junyan, who was sitting in the audience, handed a laptop to Jiang Ning.
"Thanks."
Jiang Ning smiled at Lu Junyan.
Upon seeing Lu Junyan, Lin Wanrong, who was already feeling uncertain, instantly had a bad feeling.
"The VIP ward that Grandpa stayed in was actually converted later... Initially, it was a ward for special behavioral disorders... In other words, patients with mental illnesses would stay there for observation, so that ward was one of the few wards that was equipped with surveillance cameras..."
As Jiang Ning spoke casually, Lin Wanrong felt as if she had been doused with a bucket of cold water, and froze on the spot.
"When the room was being converted into a VIP ward, the renovation workers forgot about the surveillance cameras and never removed them."
As he spoke, Jiang Ning plugged the USB drive into his laptop.
"Thanks to Lu Junyan's help, I've gotten my hands on that private surveillance footage... Since you refuse to admit it, I'll play the footage in front of everyone and see if Grandpa died from an allergic reaction triggered by the cake you made..."
Before Jiang Ning could finish speaking, the surveillance footage appeared on the big screen—
It was indeed the VIP ward where Lin Jingcheng had stayed.
Lin Jingcheng was lying in the hospital bed when Lin Wanrong, holding a piece of chocolate cake, walked towards him.
"don't want!"
Lin Wanrong pounced on the laptop like a madwoman and suddenly unplugged the USB drive.
At this moment, the venue fell silent.
All eyes were on Lin Wanrong.
Lin Wanrong's hand holding the USB drive trembled, and she slumped to the ground in despair.
"It's his own fault..."
Lin Wanrong lowered her head and muttered softly.
However, because the venue was so quiet, even whispers could be heard clearly by everyone.
"It was his own fault... If he hadn't left all the Lin family's valuable assets to you in his will, why would I have killed him?!"
Lin Wanrong suddenly raised her head and glared angrily at Jiang Ning.
The room erupted in uproar once again.
The live stream was never cut off.
It's as if Lin Wanrong confessed to her murder in front of the whole world.
"Ha, ha, ha ha ha ha ha..."
Lin Wanrong suddenly burst into laughter, a laugh that was both unrestrained and morbid.
She stumbled to her feet and walked towards Jiang Ning.
At this moment, Lu Junyan suddenly jumped onto the stage and shielded Jiang Ning behind him.
Upon seeing Lu Junyan, Lin Wanrong stopped in her tracks, her eyes filled with hatred—
And jealousy.
Jiang Ning gently placed one hand on Lu Junyan's shoulder and walked out from behind Lu Junyan.
She and Lin Wanrong locked eyes, and Lin Wanrong pointed her finger at her.
"Jiang Ning, why are you so lucky? You were born into a wealthy family and never had to worry about food or clothing... After changing your name, you were able to marry Lu Junyan and become a rich wife. Even after the divorce, he still protects you."
From the moment Lin Wanrong opened her mouth, her words were filled with naked jealousy towards Jiang Ning.
"Your life should have been bad... That's why Lin Jingcheng abandoned you."
Lin Wanrong shrugged and gave a cold laugh as she finished speaking.
“You all say that Lin Jingcheng treated me like his own son… If he treated me like his own son, then why did he only leave me a charitable foundation, something that doesn’t bring in any financial gain, in his will?”
"If you didn't want me to take over the Lin family in the first place, why did you cultivate me? Why did you let Lin Yueheng adopt me?"
"You gave me hope of turning my life around and going to heaven, and then kicked me back to hell? Why?!"
"What do you take me for, Lin Wanrong?"
"As the saying goes, everyone looks out for themselves... Now that I've reached this position, how could I possibly let go and allow you to return to the Lin family and dominate me? Heh... So killing him was his own fault, he can't blame me."
"Lin Wanrong!"
Lin Yueheng was furious beyond measure and could no longer contain himself. "You ungrateful wretch! Our Lin family has treated you so well!"
Faced with Lin Yueheng's furious accusations, Lin Wanrong simply smiled and rolled her eyes.
"Lin Jingcheng himself invited the wolf into the house, raised a tiger to cause trouble, and then turned against his own side. If he had left all of the Lin family's assets to me in his will from the beginning, there wouldn't have been so much trouble! So it's his own fault for dying at my hands!"
By this time, the police had arrived and rushed over to surround Lin Wanrong.
As Lin Wanrong was being taken away, she kept muttering "serves her right" as she left.
Wang Jun also went to the police station to turn himself in.
The public trial that Jiangning had prepared for Lin Wanrong has now come to a close.
The onlookers left or dispersed, and on the stage, Lu Junyan took off his suit jacket and draped it over Jiang Ning's shoulders.
Jiang Ning didn't seem to feel any joy at her initial victory. She had torn off the mask of strength she had put on to provoke Lin Wanrong into confessing, and at this moment, her face showed utter exhaustion.
Lin Yueheng wanted to talk to Jiang Ning, but he could tell that Jiang Ning didn't want to talk to him.
She called him "Dad" before, but it was just an act for Lin Wanrong and others to see.
In fact, Jiang Ning had no evidence whatsoever that Lin Wanrong had murdered Lin Jingcheng.
The so-called surveillance, the so-called USB flash drive, the so-called video...
She made them all up.
The footage in the ward was created by Zhong Cheng using AI, which she had asked him to do.
As a skilled hacker, it was not difficult for Zhong Cheng to synthesize such images using AI technology.
However, AI is AI after all. If Lin Wanrong continues to watch, she will definitely be able to find clues and flaws, and realize that she does not have the surveillance footage from that time at all.
However, Jiang Ning was certain that Lin Wanrong wouldn't do that.
With Wang Jun and Lin Yueheng publicly accusing her of altering the will and imprisoning her parents, and Jiang Ning then showing her the so-called surveillance footage, Lin Wanrong's last psychological defenses will surely be broken.
Things unfolded exactly as Jiang Ning had predicted.
Let's get out of here!
Lu Junyan suggested.
"good."
Jiang Ning and Lu Junyan left the Parnas International Convention Center together.
It was pitch black outside, so dark you couldn't see your hand in front of your face.
Lu Junyan drove the car to the seaside.
Jiang Ning didn't ask Lu Junyan why he didn't go home but came here instead.
She silently got out of the car, stood on the beach, felt the sea breeze, and watched the tide rise and fall.
"You seem to have something on your mind..."
Lu Junyan stood side by side with Jiang Ning, turning his head to look at Jiang Ning's melancholy profile.
"If you don't mind, let's talk!"
