As things escalated, Jiang Cheng had no choice but to step forward and apologize to Lin Yu and the Lin family.
They also demanded the release of Jiang Yuan!
Lin Yu issued a statement saying that Jiang Yuan could not be released for the time being!
Taking this opportunity, he formally announced the retrial of Ai Changqing's case.
Jiang Yuan cannot be released for the time being because he is involved in the case!
One stone stirs up a thousand waves!
Everyone understood that the young marshal was about to take action against the Jiang family!
Police station, inside the prison cell.
Jiang Yuan glared at Lin Yu through gritted teeth.
"You brat from the Lin family, I wish I could kill you! Aaaaaah!"
Clearly, he already knew about his third sister-in-law's affair!
This is an immense humiliation for the Jiang family!
Utter disgrace!
He wished he could die together with Lin Yu!
Lin Yu, however, seemed unconcerned. "Don't be in such a hurry! The real show is just beginning! Ai Changqing's case is about to be retried. If you don't want to suffer, you'd better confess honestly!"
"Pah! Don't even think about it! I have no idea what you're talking about!" Jiang Yuan spat out a mouthful of saliva.
"Jiang Yuan, you're asking for it!" Feng Jiu went up and gave Jiang Yuan a good beating, leaving him stunned.
"You, are you trying to force a confession out of me?" Jiang Yuan said, baring his teeth.
Lin Yu waved his hand, finally stopping Feng Jiu.
Jiang Yuan raised his head shakily and chuckled, "Lin Yu, you're a dog! Pang Wensheng's dog!"
"What kind of bullshit Imperial Inspector? You think you can just take a chicken feather as a royal decree?"
"What good will it do you to offend my aristocratic family? Wouldn't it be better to be a second-generation power broker?"
"How many more years can Pang Wensheng keep his job? When he's taken down and faces the reckoning, I guarantee you'll be crying!"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Jiang Yuan couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Even now, his eyes still held contempt!
In his eyes, Lin Yu was still a country bumpkin! A nobody!
Just because he is a young master of a noble family and the ruler of the world, he despises Lin Yu to the core!
Lin Yu's eyes flickered, but he didn't respond, letting him continue.
Don't even think about bringing me down!
Jiang Yuan sneered, "So what if you make me sign? A public trial requires evidence! Without evidence, you can't convict me! And Ai Changqing will still go to jail! Don't waste your energy!"
Lin Yu nodded, not annoyed at all, but with an expression of agreement.
"You're absolutely right! I was just making a mountain out of a molehill!"
"But you're wrong about one thing! I'm not doing this for myself!"
"Of course, I won't righteously claim it's for the sake of the world!"
Lin Yu gave a self-deprecating smile and said calmly, "I left Great Xia when I was ten years old, and for many years I lived in darkness! So I can truly understand how miserable it is for people living in darkness!"
"Therefore, I swear that as long as I, Lin Yu, have even the slightest ability, I will redeem those in darkness. Even if I cannot completely free them from their suffering, I will at least let them see the light!"
"You, Jiang Yuan, a young master of a powerful family! You can look down on anyone, you can manipulate everyone in the world!"
"But remember this: as long as there is even the slightest injustice in this world, the sword of justice will surely fall upon the necks of your noble families!"
"Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it. Remember this!"
After saying this, Lin Yu turned around and strode outside.
Once outside, Fang Wenhai sighed, "Young Marshal, without direct evidence, it will be difficult to convict Jiang Yuan, and it will be difficult to clear Mayor Ai's name!"
Lin Yu's eyes flickered as he asked, "After investigating for so many days, haven't you made any progress at all?"
Fang Wenhai shook his head. "This case is missing a crucial piece of evidence. According to Huang Haifeng's testimony, he received a text message from Jiang Yuan before taking his men to the guesthouse. However, the phone card is registered under someone else's name and cannot be used as evidence!"
Lin Yu frowned. "What about Zheng Honglian? Wasn't she also notified to go to the guesthouse? We can't find her there either?"
Fang Wenhai said, "The person you're talking about is Wang Zhimin, Zheng Honglian's driver. Zheng Honglian is a cautious person and doesn't usually trust others easily, but she trusts this driver who has been with her for ten years. It was Wang Zhimin who took her to the guesthouse! And those false accusations against Mayor Ai on Zheng Honglian's phone were all done by Wang Zhimin!"
Lin Yu nodded. "So, Wang Zhimin is the key! Where is he? Has he been caught?"
Fang Wenhai's expression froze, and he shook his head. "Wang Zhimin is dead!"
"Dead?" Lin Yu raised an eyebrow. "Did Jiang Yuan kill him to cover it up?"
Fang Wenhai shook his head. "No, a year ago, Wang Zhimin was in a car accident and fell into the sea. His body was never found!"
Lin Yu frowned. "Then, who else is in his family?"
“He had a wife and a child! Not long after he died, his wife started living with someone else. We also asked her about Wang Zhimin, and it seems that she and Wang Zhimin didn't have a good relationship. They had already separated before Wang Zhimin's incident!”
Lin Yu nodded and said helplessly, "Keep investigating. The public trial is still two days away. If it can't be postponed, we'll do it. In short, I'm going to get to the bottom of this!"
"Yes!" Fang Wenhai bowed respectfully.
Then, he personally escorted Lin Yu and Feng Jiu to the door.
Just as they arrived outside the police station, they saw a woman holding a child of about two years old, standing in front of the door, hesitating.
Upon seeing them come out, the woman turned and walked away.
"Wang Yan!" Fang Wenhai was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously called out.
But the woman didn't turn her head back. She hurriedly ran to the roadside, hailed a taxi, and left with her child.
"Do you know this woman?" Lin Yu asked Fang Wenhai, raising an eyebrow.
Fang Wenhai nodded, his eyes flashing, and said, "This woman is Wang Zhimin's wife, Wang Yan!"
"Oh?" Lin Yu's eyes flashed.
With Ai Changqing's public trial imminent, this woman's sudden appearance at the police station, coupled with her strange behavior, makes it hard not to speculate.
"Feng Jiu, prepare the car, let's go check it out!"
...
A moment later, the jeep arrived at an old residential area.
The community is poorly managed; the trash cans haven't been emptied in a long time, and late at night, a stench permeates the air.
Inside a residential building, the lights were still dimly lit.
After settling the child in the bedroom, the woman went to the living room.
At this moment, a middle-aged man wearing a leather jacket leaned wearily against the sofa, his face full of frustration.
The woman walked over, untying his shoelaces as she asked, "How much was the fine this time?"
The man sighed, "Twenty thousand, because I'm unregistered, and they even confiscated my driver's license!"
Tears streamed down the woman's face. Twenty thousand yuan was equivalent to a year's living expenses for her family of three!
She'd really had enough of this kind of life!
"Zhimin, this is all retribution! This time the young marshal is going to a public trial, why don't you turn yourself in? Let's not live this kind of shady life anymore!" The woman seemed to have been suppressing her emotions for a long time, and finally couldn't hold back anymore, crying out.
