Wang Weicheng went directly to Jian Dan's courtyard, closed the door, and softly called out, "Jian Dan..."
Jian Dan seemed very excited today. She immediately came out of the yard and smiled at Wang Weicheng, "You're here! What are we eating today?"
After saying that, she looked at Wang Weicheng's hands and saw that he had nothing in them. She frowned and said, "Why didn't you buy any fish? Didn't we say yesterday that we would have braised fish today?"
Seeing that it was simple, Wang Weicheng remained silent for a while. He realized that Jian Dan was really discussing food with him.
He couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine. She had committed such a crime and yet she could act as if no one else was around. Was she heartless, or was she just used to doing such things?
These past few days, Wang Weicheng has been unable to eat or sleep properly, and is completely unable to live a normal life.
Wang Weicheng frowned at Jian Dan, and couldn't help but ask, "Jian Dan, can you really eat this? Hong Lan and the child have been locked up for several days now, what are you planning to do?"
Jian Dan seemed surprised that Wang Weicheng would suddenly ask this question, and raised an eyebrow at him.
Wang Weicheng then asked, "Didn't you say that you locked them up so that Yan Junting would admit his mistake and apologize to you? But didn't Yun Duoduo talk to you and say that as long as you are willing to make a request, I believe they will agree?"
At this point, Jian Dan's smile slowly faded, and she asked Wang Weicheng in a cold voice, "Weicheng, if it were you, and someone killed the person you loved most, would you be willing to just let him apologize and be done with it?"
Wang Weicheng already knew the simple story, and he didn't want to hear it anymore. All he wanted now was for Jian Dan to let go and follow him.
He reached out and grabbed Jian Dan's arms, saying helplessly, "Jian Dan, listen to me, let's not get stuck on this, okay? Back then, you guys made a mistake, but Yan Junting was just carrying out a mission, so he didn't do anything wrong either."
"Besides, that happened so many years ago, it should be in the past. Wouldn't it be better to forget the past and embrace a new life?"
She glanced at Wang Weicheng, a hint of anger slowly rising in her eyes, before reaching out to push away Wang Weicheng's hands that were gripping her arms.
Wang Weicheng knew that Jian Dan wouldn't be so easily persuaded, but he still wanted to try. He paused for a moment and then said, "How about this?"
"Now we have some money. With that money, let's leave Kyoto and go to a more remote place to live a quiet life."
"Although I am not rich or powerful, I will never let you suffer. I will treat you and the child very well. I will help you forget the sad things of the past."
Jian Dan looked at Wang Weicheng, but didn't refuse. He just smiled coldly and said, "Okay, but only after I've taken my revenge. Otherwise, I won't go anywhere."
She still insists on revenge, but the problem is, she never says how she intends to take revenge; she's just taking care of a child and someone unrelated to the matter.
Wang Weicheng was truly helpless. Looking at her, he said, "Then why don't you just tell me what you want to do?"
“A life for a life.” Jian Dan looked at Wang Weicheng and said, word by word, “Write a letter to Yan Junting and tell him that as long as he jumps from the same spot where my husband jumped, no matter if he lives or dies, this matter will be settled, and I will immediately return his sister and daughter to him.”
Upon hearing this, Wang Weicheng closed his eyes. What kind of request was this?
Needless to say, they would never agree.
Wang Weicheng really had no other choice, so he could only helplessly whisper, "JianDan, let's stop, okay?"
"Stop? Why should I stop?" Jian Dan asked Wang Weicheng coldly. "I originally had a very good husband and a child. The three of us would have lived a good life. If it weren't for Yan Junting, how could I have ended up like this?"
At this point, she ripped open her clothes, revealing the burned areas on her upper body.
Back then, the fire was quite fierce. Jian Dan's upper left side was covered in scars, which would have been quite frightening to most people.
But Wang Weicheng truly loved her and didn't care. He reached out to straighten Jian Dan's clothes and said softly, "It's all in the past. I've never cared about these things."
“But I care.” Jian Dan pushed Wang Weicheng away and shouted, “Look at me, I’m neither human nor ghost, it’s all his fault, he’s the one who caused it.”
Seeing that Jian Dan was stubbornly insisting that Yan Junting was responsible for her death, Wang Weicheng couldn't help but speak up and said something fair, "Jian Dan, you need to understand that you are thieves, thieves who steal things everywhere. What you did was illegal. They are soldiers, and it is right for soldiers to catch thieves. The one who is wrong is you."
"Besides, jumping off the building was your husband's own choice; he could choose to face the law."
Taking a slight breath, Wang Weicheng continued, "If all criminals in this world were like you, thinking only of revenge, would there still be any justice in this world?"
Hearing Wang Weicheng say this, her expression grew increasingly grim, and her gaze towards him was devoid of any emotion.
Then, she narrowed her eyes slightly and asked him, "Wang Weicheng, what do you mean? Do you mean you're going to betray me?"
Wang Weicheng shook his head. "It's simple. It's not about betraying someone. I just don't want to hurt anyone, and I don't want you to live in the past forever."
At this point, Wang Weicheng stood beside her again and said sincerely, "Your husband is gone. Now I am the one by your side. I don't care about your past or your imperfections. I just want to take good care of you, love you, and make you happy in the days to come."
Jian Dan didn't speak at first, but just looked up at Wang Weicheng in front of her.
Then, she suddenly smiled, a sarcastic smile, "Wang Weicheng, don't put on such nice words. If you really loved me this much, you should have done everything for me, no matter what. You know perfectly well that revenge is what I want to do most."
After saying that, she looked at Wang Weicheng firmly again and said, "I said that after I get my revenge, I will love you wholeheartedly and live our life together."
"Jian Dan, are you sure?" Wang Weicheng could see by now that no matter what he said, Jian Dan would not give up on revenge.
He also began to doubt whether Jian Dan truly liked him.
He smiled faintly and countered with a simple question, "Are you sure you're not just looking for a partner to help you get revenge, and I'm the perfect partner for you?"
Jian Dan felt a little guilty after hearing Wang Weicheng's words, and she lowered her head.
But only for a moment, she raised her head and said to Wang Weicheng, word by word, "Wang Weicheng, don't say any more. Just one word: will you do it or not? If you don't, we'll break up, and the child in my belly will have nothing to do with you anymore."
