Jiang Desheng never expected that a mere girl's jealousy would escalate to the point of requiring a military court.
He quickly gave Ye Ruyi a wink, wanting her to take all the blame.
Ye Ruyi understood Jiang Desheng's meaning. Jiang Desheng wanted her to admit that everything was done by her and Jiang Luoluo, and had nothing to do with Jiang Desheng and his son.
Logically speaking, Ye Ruyi should have taken all the blame for Jiang Luoluo's mistakes.
But now... she doesn't want to anymore!
After Ye Fanxing's true identity was revealed, everything Ye Ruyi had painstakingly built up before was in vain.
If she still admits that she was the one who did all of this.
Her reputation, her career, and the rest of her life were completely ruined.
She was willing to abandon her own daughter and her parents back then.
Now, how could she possibly ruin everything for Jiang Luoluo, someone with whom she has no blood relation?
Ultimately, in Ye Ruyi's heart, the most important person is still herself.
Ye Ruyi, her eyes slightly red, looked at Gu Yanchen and said in disbelief, "Chief of Staff Gu, Luo Luo did tell me she was going to drug Huo Dongfang, but I thought she was just saying it casually..."
Jiang Desheng gritted his teeth and roared, "Ye Ruyi!"
Jiang Jiefang also chimed in, "Aunt Ye, are you trying to ruin Luo Luo?"
Ye Ruyi was amused by Jiang Desheng and Jiang Jiefang's appearance.
Were they kicked in the head by a donkey?
She abandoned her husband and children to make a living, not to take the blame for Jiang Luoluo.
She quickly made a decision in her mind and said coldly, "I know you want me to admit to everything, but have you ever thought that military law is above all else! What makes you so confident that you've fooled everyone!"
Jiang Desheng roared, "If it weren't for you backing up Jiang Luoluo, would she have dared to be so bold?"
"Jiang Desheng, the one who has always supported Jiang Luoluo is not me, but you." Ye Ruyi said with a self-deprecating laugh, "I am just Jiang Luoluo's stepmother, I know my place."
Huo Dongfang and Gu Yanchen watched coldly as the Jiang family members fought amongst themselves.
Jiang Jiefang was also afraid that Jiang Luoluo's foolish actions would affect his career.
"Chief of Staff Gu, it's just a small matter, there's no need to take it to a military court."
Gu Yanchen sneered and remained silent.
Jiang Jiefang then looked at Huo Dongfang and pleaded humbly, "Huo Dongfang, please give us another chance, considering we've known each other for so many years."
Huo Dongfang said indifferently, "Jiang Jiefang, I gave you a chance, but you didn't cherish it."
Gu Yanchen pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses and thought with immense regret, "I thought Jiang Jiefang and Huo Dongfang were old acquaintances, but it seems they're nothing special."
"Jiang Jiefang, the truth of the matter will be decided by the military court."
Seeing that Gu Yanchen and Huo Dongfang were so unyielding, Jiang Desheng angrily overturned the dining table in front of him.
Gu Yanchen and Huo Dongfang had already launched a coordinated counterattack the moment Jiang Desheng flipped the table.
As a result, a table full of leftover food was instantly dumped on the Jiang family.
The sour and foul smell made Huo Dongfang take a step back without making a sound, afraid of getting his hands dirty.
"Huo Dongfang! Gu Yanchen! Don't think you can do whatever you want just because you have a good family background!" Jiang Desheng's eyes were dark and his tone was terrifying. "Let me tell you, don't try to frame me if I, Jiang Desheng, have not done anything!"
Gu Yanchen coldly retorted, "Jiang Desheng, if you haven't done it, why are you afraid of going to a military court?"
Jiang Desheng: "..."
Military courts, what kind of place is that?
Once you go in, can you come out safely?
In Jiang Desheng's memory, no one could emerge from a military court unscathed.
"Huo Dongfang," Jiang Jiefang still struggled in desperation, "this matter really has nothing to do with us. If we had known about this beforehand, we would have definitely stopped it."
Huo Dongfang sneered contemptuously, "Whether you are truly unaware or pleased with the outcome, only you know the answer."
From the moment he reunited with Jiang Jiefang at the Military Medical University in Licheng, Huo Dongfang gradually realized that Jiang Jiefang was no longer the spirited young man he was five years ago.
Huo Dongfang knew better than anyone what he was after.
Huo Dongfang was born into the Huo family and was exposed to the wickedness of human nature from a young age.
It was precisely because he saw into people's hearts that Huo Dongfang understood how precious Ye Fanxing's pure and innocent heart was.
"Okay, okay!"
Jiang Jiefang smiled helplessly.
"I overestimated the friendship between us. I am not worthy to be friends with you, Young Master Huo."
Gu Yanchen sneered, "Jiang Jiefang, if you truly considered Huo Dongfang a friend, you wouldn't have made such an outrageous request..."
Gu Yanchen and more than ten others were infected.
Fortunately, it was a vile drug; if it had been poison, the losses to the Licheng Military Region would have been incalculable.
It was for this reason that the military region commander personally established an investigation team to begin investigating the incident.
Jiang Desheng dared to act wildly in front of Gu Yanchen and Huo Dongfang, but he wouldn't dare to utter a single word in front of the commander.
With red eyes, he spoke in a hoarse voice, defending himself: "Commander, you know my personality. If I had known Jiang Luoluo would do such a thing, I would have been the first to not forgive her."
"Commander, in the end, it's because I married an unworthy wife. It's also my fault for not investigating Ye Ruyi's background beforehand."
"If I had known from the beginning that Ye Ruyi had been married, things wouldn't have turned out this way."
The commander said coldly, "Jiang Desheng, this matter has already attracted the attention of those above."
Jiang Desheng's face turned pale. He moved his lips, but remained silent for a long time.
The commander added, "If you haven't committed any crimes, then take good care of your family affairs. The military court will not let a bad person go unpunished, but it also will not wrong an innocent person."
When Jiang Desheng returned home dejectedly, Ye Ruyi had already packed her bags and was preparing to move out of the Jiang family home.
"Ye Ruyi, what are you doing?"
Ye Ruyi looked at Jiang Desheng with a puzzled expression and asked, "Can't you tell?"
Jiang Desheng's face was full of hostility.
He restrained himself so much that he resorted to domestic violence against Ye Ruyi.
"Ye Ruyi, you're leaving as soon as the Jiang family gets into trouble?"
Ye Ruyi said with a cold, mocking gaze, "Jiang Desheng, our marriage was a mistake from the start. Now is the time to set things right..."
Jiang Desheng grabbed Ye Ruyi by the neck and warned her menacingly, "Ye Ruyi, you've messed up my life and you think you can just walk away? Let me tell you, dream on!"
Ye Ruyi, neck stiff, looked defiantly at Jiang Desheng, "Jiang Desheng, if you have the guts, then kill me!"
Jiang Desheng's large hand exerted force, and then even more force.
Ye Ruyi laughed even more arrogantly and triumphantly.
Jiang Desheng.
You're finished.
