Chapter 43
Living With Him, Even Breast Lumps Would Form From Anger
"Come in!" Jiang Han Yan finally spoke.
Ji Ru Yu had to suffer a bit to learn her lesson. After getting two slaps, she would probably be more careful when looking for a partner in the future.
Yan Bai Li forcefully slammed into the door, wincing in pain, his bones feeling like they would break, but the door remained motionless.
Lu Chen grabbed him by the collar, pulled him aside, and lightly kicked the door. With a "click," it opened.
Yan Bai Li gritted his teeth, *Damn it, even the door bullies me. I used so much strength, I must be the first eight steamed buns, and Lu Chen is the ninth.*
The three rushed into the house. The living room was empty. Lu Chen went straight to the bathroom. The door was shut, and inside, water was gushing, along with muffled sobs.
The bathroom door wasn't locked, so it was easily pushed open. Lin De Sheng was pressing Ji Ru Yu into the bathtub, water gushing. He was also choking Ji Ru Yu, his handsome face filled with ferocity.
Ji Ru Yu desperately saw Yan Bai Li rush in first, her jewel-like eyes shining, struggling even more fiercely.
"You scoundrel!"
Yan Bai Li angrily lunged forward, grabbing Lin De Sheng, but he was just an unarmed art academy professor. How could he be a match for a fitness instructor? Lin De Sheng easily shoved him, sending him to the ground. He turned to look at Yan Bai Li lying prone on the ground and sneered, "Ill-fated lovers meet! Go be companions in the underworld!"
He didn't see Lu Chen and Jiang Han Yan, thinking Yan Bai Li was called by Ji Ru Yu. Just as he was about to deal with Yan Bai Li, his collar was grabbed, and he immediately flew into the air, facing Lu Chen's cold face.
Lin De Sheng's heart immediately sank. He wasn't afraid of Yan Bai Li and Ji Ru Yu, but Lu Chen gave him the initial feeling of being very difficult to mess with. Then he looked at Jiang Han Yan beside him and recognized her; she was the beautiful girl who had asked about the private instructor class at the gym two days ago.
He had actually been interested, but feared it would affect his marriage to Ji Ru Yu, so he had dismissed it.
Lin De Sheng fully understood, his eyes dim. He knew he couldn't escape.
"You are ruthless; I surrender!"
Lin De Sheng let out a bitter laugh. After Xiang Wei died, he had prepared himself for prison at any time. When you mess around, you eventually pay the price. He was just a small-time scoundrel from a mountain gully, to have made it this far in a prosperous city like Hu Cheng, having experienced everything and enjoyed everything, it was worth it!
Jiang Han Yan took a voice recorder from her bag and pressed play. Inside was a recording of Lin De Sheng talking about plotting against Xiang Wei, and also his plan to harm Ji Ru Yu in Thailand. It was all recorded.
Lin De Sheng's face was ashen; he said nothing.
Lu Chen called Sang Mo Yuan, who coincidentally was investigating a case nearby and arrived very quickly.
"The Xiang Wei case?"
Sang Mo Yuan recognized Lin De Sheng at a glance. That year, Xiang Wei died in a traffic accident. He had suspicions, but the case wasn't under his jurisdiction at the time. The officer in charge investigated for a while and concluded it was an accident. Sang Mo Yuan also found it inconvenient to pursue further, but the case had always bothered him.
"This is Lin De Sheng's recording. He confessed his crimes without any concealment, and also his plan to harm Miss Ji Ru Yu. It's all in here." Jiang Han Yan handed over the voice recorder.
Sang Mo Yuan pressed play. After listening to the recording, his face darkened. It was indeed murder, and a meticulous and cold-blooded one at that. No wonder the police couldn't find anything at the time.
Fortunately, they met Jiang Han Yan and her group. Otherwise, Ji Ru Yu might have died tragically abroad. Cross-border cases were even harder to investigate, and Lin De Sheng might have escaped justice again.
Jiang Han Yan and Ji Ru Yu, along with their group, all went to the Public Security Bureau to give their statements. By the time they finished, it was evening. Ji Ru Yu's face was even more swollen, round and shiny, and she spoke a little breathlessly.
"Thank you."
Ji Ru Yu awkwardly thanked them. Before, she had scolded Yan Bai Li for being nosy, narrow-minded, and badmouthing Lin De Sheng, even silently cursing Yan Bai Li hundreds of times in her heart.
"Don't mention it. It's good that you're okay. Let's take you to the hospital; your face is swollen like a pig's head."
Yan Bai Li said, gasping for air. His bones felt like they were about to break; he had to go to the hospital for an X-ray.
Ji Ru Yu glared unhappily, "You're the pig's head! Let's go. Look at your cowardly appearance, can't even take one hit. Go get an X-ray to see if your bones are broken."
"I'm a painter, not a blacksmith!"
"Professor Xuan at your school is also a painter, and he's a great sword master. And Li Bai, he was a poet, and he 'killed a person in ten steps'."
"Don't mention that Xuan fellow in front of me. What kind of painter is he? Just a martial artist. What do you know about Li Bai? He was an aristocrat, always accompanied by dozens of warriors when he went out. Why would he need to kill people himself? You women are truly not smart, easily deceived by sweet words. Later, at the hospital, get an X-ray of your heart to see if you have a leaky valve."
"How can a heart have a leaky valve, are you stupid?"
"If it doesn't have a leaky valve, why is it lacking common sense? If it's not lacking common sense, why did you see Lin De Sheng as a Prince Charming?"
Yan Bai Li retorted, successfully silencing Ji Ru Yu. The two of them bantered back and forth, completely ignoring Jiang Han Yan and Lu Chen beside them, treating them as if they didn't exist.
"Don't forget the thirty thousand yuan!"
Jiang Han Yan was too lazy to listen to their nonsense and reminded Yan Bai Li not to forget the transfer.
"I'll transfer it later. Thank you both." Yan Bai Li was extremely grateful. He definitely couldn't have dealt with Lin De Sheng alone; the thirty thousand yuan was well worth it.
"Let me pay for it." Ji Ru Yu said awkwardly, trying to pay.
"You don't need to. It's only thirty thousand yuan."
"How can I let you pay for my business? It's still me."
The two argued over who would pay. Jiang Han Yan smiled, ignoring them. Looking at them, there was hope for wedding wine next year.
On New Year's Eve, Sang Mo Yuan called. Lin De Sheng had confessed everything, holding nothing back.
"He can't escape the death penalty. The trial will begin after the New Year."
"Serves him right. How much of Xiang Wei's assets are left?" Jiang Han Yan asked.
"Only the newlywed house and that gym are left. They will be returned to Xiang Wei's parents then."
Jiang Han Yan sighed. The most pitiful were Xiang Wei's parents, the white-haired sending off the black-haired.
The thirty thousand yuan was ultimately transferred by Yan Bai Li, but on New Year's Eve, Ji Ru Yu came to their house in person, bringing many gifts to express her gratitude.
"Yan Bai Li still cares about you very much. He specifically sought me out to save you, and even hired the best private detective to investigate Lin De Sheng's past. He spent a lot of money and effort." Jiang Han Yan said a few good words for Yan Bai Li.
These two actually cared about each other; they just hadn't harmonized yet, which led to their impulsive divorce. Moreover, she could see that Ji Ru Yu didn't actually love Lin De Sheng; she was just moved by Lin De Sheng's gentleness and thoughtfulness. It was also possible she wanted to provoke Yan Bai Li, which was why she agreed to the proposal.
Ji Ru Yu awkwardly lowered her head, her hands nervously clasped together. After a long time, she shyly said, "Who told him to go around flirting everywhere? Those butterflies even came in front of me every day to show off. Living with him, I was so angry that I even developed breast hyperplasia."
