Mr. Bigshot Is Obsessed with His Hidden-Marriage Wife
Chapter 232: It’s Murder

Chapter 232: Chapter 232: It’s Murder

"Jiang Ying, don’t make me investigate this myself," Tang Jingyao stared at the woman who became flustered and discomposed. "I have never looked into your past, but you should be clear that if I want to, you’d have no secrets."

Hearing this, Jiang Ying suddenly collapsed onto the ground as if all her strength had left her.

Indeed, her past simply couldn’t withstand a thorough investigation.

If Tang Jingyao resolved to investigate her, he would surely find out everything.

Over the years, she played her role flawlessly, earning Tang Jingyao’s trust and favor.

And the people around him had all grown close to her, any small movement would not be specifically reported to Tang Jingyao.

On the surface, she seemed to live peacefully, but in reality, she was always walking on thin ice.

"Since it’s come to this, what more can I say?" Jiang Ying looked despairingly at the ceiling. "You stopped loving me a long time ago, now your eyes only have Meng Tian, so what does it matter to you what I’ve become?"

"So, us meeting was also part of your meticulous plan?"

"Yes." Jiang Ying revealed a pale and feeble smile. "All those chance encounters, the supposed fate, they were all lies. I knew you liked Old Qi’s paintings, so I became Old Qi’s assistant to create opportunities to meet you. I deliberately portrayed myself as weak to invoke your protective instincts. But later, I truly fell in love with you, not just for your status and wealth, Ah Yao, I love you as a person."

"Such calculated affection, when you talk of love, it’s truly an insult to the word." Tang Jingyao had guessed this outcome, but still felt a wave of coldness in his heart.

His years with Jiang Ying were genuine, he indeed planned to marry her.

"What about the child, the one you miscarried, what happened there?"

Jiang Ying panicked, crawling on her knees to Tang Jingyao’s feet, "Ah Yao, the child was yours, absolutely. How could I dare to be with another man after I was with you? Those men, they are not worthy at all."

"You don’t have to say anything, I’ll have someone check right now." Tang Jingyao didn’t believe a word she said.

"The child really was yours, it’s just... I’ve had too many miscarriages before, leading to habitual miscarriage. The doctor said if I miscarried again, I would have to have my uterus removed. I knew the child couldn’t be saved, but if it happened naturally, you would surely find out about my history of miscarriages. So, I took advantage of the fight you were in, someone did kick me, but I feared it wasn’t enough, I deliberately hit my stomach against the corner of the table several times..."

Tang Jingyao listened, dumbstruck.

He always prided himself on being worldly, but he had never encountered a woman like Jiang Ying.

She could be so cruel to herself, willingly destroying her uterus, foregoing motherhood just to keep a secret hidden.

"You did this just to make me feel guilty, to ensure that I would marry no one but you?"

Jiang Ying hung her head in silent admission.

"So your claim of being a virgin was also fabricated?"

"Hospitals can restore it anytime; deceiving you was easy."

Tang Jingyao let out a laugh, mocking his own stupidity and blindness.

Had it not been for the appearance of Meng Tian, he might have continued to be blind to the end.

"One last question, was your stepfather really a victim of your premeditated murder?"

Jiang Ying shuddered, shrinking back as if guilt-stricken, but she quickly steadied. "I didn’t do it. He was trying to kill me and my mother. I only killed him by mistake in the struggle."

"It was murder."

Meng Tian walked down the stairs.

She was dressed in plain home clothes, her hair freshly washed and fluffy, her face clean and translucently pale, exuding a lazy, luxurious beauty without the need for makeup.

Jiang Ying stared at her, transfixed.

Even as a woman, she had to admit that Meng Tian was very beautiful, with a stunning, soul-piercing presence.

"Tiantian?" Tang Jingyao was so agitated that he hadn’t noticed her standing on the second floor.

He got up and walked over, pinched her strands of hair with his fingers, "Why didn’t you blow-dry your hair?"

"The blow dryer is broken."

Tang Jingyao smiled indulgently, "I’ll have someone go buy one."

Jiang Ying watched the two speak as if no one else was around, their love for one another evident in their words.

Although Tang Jingyao had always been good to her, his treatment of her felt more like doting on a possession.

But with Meng Tian, there was a warmth in his eyes, as if he cherished her and wished to hold her in the palm of his hand.

"Miss Meng, what did you just say?" Jiang Ying didn’t want to witness this painful scene any longer, "You’re a police officer, saying that is enough for me to sue you for defamation."

Meng Tian walked up to Jiang Ying, who also got up from the ground.

She could be humble in front of Tang Jingyao, but she needed to hold her head high in front of Meng Tian.

"Miss Meng, since you know I am a police officer, you should understand that I would never jump to conclusions without evidence." Meng Tian shook her cell phone, "All the evidence of your crime is on my phone. The police will be here soon, so save your rebuttals for the police station."

"That’s impossible, you’re bluffing." Jiang Ying’s face was covered with a sinister expression, a stark contrast to her previous pitiful appearance.

Tang Jingyao looked at the person before him, feeling increasingly like she was a stranger.

"Whether I’m bluffing or not, you know deep down, Jiang Ying. Heaven’s net is wide, but you have merely escaped the law temporarily; justice will never be late. Your stepfather was deliberately murdered by you and your mother, simply because he filmed a compromising video of you with some painter and tried to blackmail you."

"You’re talking nonsense." Jiang Ying, like a cornered madwoman, lunged forward.

Tang Jingyao quickly stepped in front of Meng Tian, grabbing her wrist, "Jiang Ying, you’ve already committed a crime, do you want to assault an officer too?"

"I haven’t, I’m innocent, she’s framing me." Jiang Ying’s eyes were bloodshot, "Meng Tian, you would do anything to steal my man; you don’t deserve to be a police officer."

"Shut up." Tang Jingyao gave a forceful shove, and Jiang Ying stumbled backward, falling to the ground.

She started out looking aggrieved then her smile turned increasingly manic, "Meng Tian, do you really think he loves you? Don’t forget, the night I got out, he was making a storm in the sheets with me in your very bedroom. While he was with me, he was still calling out ’Yingying,’ and in the end, he spilled everything... inside me..."

"Jiang Ying!" Tang Jingyao exclaimed sharply, glancing at Meng Tian in panic.

"See, he’s feeling guilty; he enjoyed himself so much when he was with me." Jiang Ying laughed loudly, "Men are all good for nothing. Do you think you’ve got a treasure? He’s nothing but a stud."

At this moment, a servant entered briskly accompanied by several police officers.

Seeing the police, Jiang Ying finally showed a look of panic.

"Jiang Ying, you are suspected of being involved in a murder case, please come with us to the police station to assist with the investigation." The officer who came to arrest her was Lu Changchen.

This wasn’t his task; he had volunteered, solely because the report had come from Meng Tian.
