Without further ado, Jiang Ziyu presented the final piece of evidence.
"This is the vehicle inspection report from that year. The cause of the car accident was brake failure. Did you think that by bribing the responding officers, you could remain innocent forever?"
After A Qiang confessed that the car accident was due to brake failure, Di Mingjue had dispatched people to find the officers who handled the accident.
Once the officers were located, a bit of intimidation was all it took for them to surrender everything.
To avoid being framed, the officer from that year, after receiving the money from Jiang Wenbin, made a backup copy and hid it in his personal locker at the police station before destroying the original evidence.
With the evidence laid out before Jiang Wenbin, he was left with no room for denial.
The air suddenly turned frigid. Faced with the facts, Xu Jingya envisioned the difficult days ahead.
"It wasn't me, I didn't do it."
Suddenly shouting out, Xu Jingya successfully drew everyone's attention.
Since entering the room, Jiang Ziyu's focus had been entirely on Jiang Wenbin. She had forgotten about Xu Jingya, one of the participants.
"Do you know the saying 'burying your ears while stealing a bell'?" Jiang Ziyu walked towards Xu Jingya.
Her approach made the other woman feel pressured. Xu Jingya defensively retreated until her back hit the wall, leaving her with no escape.
"If you're saying it was me, do you have proof?" Xu Jingya tilted her chin up, meeting Jiang Ziyu's gaze with a resolute attitude.
"You can tell your defenses to the police," Jiang Ziyu said, turning to the officers brought in by Shen Lin.
The officers surveyed the scene, their gazes falling on Jiang Wenbin. "Jiang Wenbin, Xu Jingya?"
Their eyes darted away, and they stammered, afraid to answer.
The officers, having studied psychology, could tell at a glance whether they were lying. Taking their arrest warrants from their pockets, one of them spoke, "You are suspected in connection with the car accident sixteen years ago. We now ask you to accompany us to the police station to give your statements."
"I didn't, I wasn't..." Xu Jingya hid behind Jiang Wenbin, repeatedly muttering.
The Jiang Corporation was no longer what it once was. Once they entered the police station, they would never be able to leave.
Jiang Wenbin grabbed a stool and held it in front of him, "Back off, all of you, back off!"
His resistance prompted the officers to draw their firearms from their sides.
"Drop your weapons!"
A team of officers fanned out, surrounding Jiang Wenbin with guns aimed from all directions.
A stool, no matter how formidable, was no match for the speed of bullets.
Facing the stern officers, Jiang Wenbin reluctantly lowered the stool.
With a clang, the officers quickly holstered their firearms and approached Jiang Wenbin with handcuffs.
Watching the couple being led into the police car, the years of suppressed hatred in Jiang Ziyu's heart erupted like fireworks.
Finally, she had avenged her mother and grandmother! The villains had finally been punished!
Jiang Ziyu wept tears of joy, crystalline droplets falling distinctly.
"Ziyu?" Di Mingjue looked at her with concern.
Jiang Ziyu smiled at him through her tears, "I'm fine."
She didn't look fine at all.
Di Mingjue took a handkerchief from his pocket, approached her, and gently wiped away the trembling tears on her face.
"I'm so happy, thank you!" Jiang Ziyu looked at Di Mingjue sincerely.
Without him, how could the truth hidden for so many years have been uncovered?
Di Mingjue tenderly stroked her face, looking at her with doting affection. "Silly girl, we don't need to say thank you."
Jiang Ziyu hooked her arms around his neck, stood on tiptoe, closed her eyes, and placed her lips on Di Mingjue's.
In the dilapidated house, the two embraced with warmth. Di Mingjue cupped Jiang Ziyu's waist, shifting the control of the moment to his hands.
After a passionate kiss, Jiang Ziyu slumped tiredly against Di Mingjue's chest.
"Can you walk?"
"No."
Di Mingjue scooped Jiang Ziyu into his arms in a bridal carry and left the wooden hut.
