After the final sentence was pronounced, Zhang Jiasen was taken away. His legs were a little weak, so he had been helped out by two policemen.

  During this whole time, Zhang Jiasen’s gaze had been on Ning Shu. The aura around his body had been restrained, so he now seemed very cold and calm. He didn’t seem like someone who was about to face ten years in jail at all.

  Ning Shu was a little surprised that Zhang Jiasen was being so quiet. Zhang Jiasen truly wasn’t just a little unreadable.

  After this trial was over, another new one immediately started and Zhang Jiasen was once again brought up.

  Everyone was stunned and all the reporters that had been preparing to leave immediately came back.

  Zhang Jiasen’s face was a little pale, but he still counted as calm.

  Meanwhile, the Zhang family looked completely at a loss. They were already in despair due to the sentence of ten years, so what was going on now?

  This time, the procuratorate accused Zhang Jiasen of inciting another to commit a crime.

  A commotion broke out and the reporters started snapping photos like crazy. Originally they had thought that this would make a small story at most, but with how much Zhang Jiasen had done, this was bound to be big news.

  When Zhang Jiasen heard this accusation, his pupils dilated and he immediately turned to look towards Ning Shu.

  Ning Shu met Zhang Jiasen’s gaze. Zhang Jiasen’s gaze narrowed slightly, then realization flashed across his face. He then turned away and stopped looking at Ning Shu.

  Zhang Jiasen’s mother sobbed while trying to stifle her cries. Zhang Jiasen’s father was very pale and he looked like he had aged greatly.

  Aunt Ping was escorted in by police, dressed in prisoner uniform.

  Aunt Ping was very skinny, so the prisoner uniform was very loose on her. Her hair was completely white. Although she was clearly only fifty, she looked like she already had one foot in the grave.

  Aunt Ping said quietly, “Zhang Jiasen had me add a drug to Miao Zhi’s medicinal dish. Even if this drug was taken, it couldn’t be discovered. If this succeeded, Zhang Jiasen promised to allow my son to follow him. He said that he would train my son.”


  “I was thinking that the Miao family would definitely eventually become Zhang Jiasen’s, so I wanted to take a gamble. I’m only a housekeeper. For the sake of my son’s future, I had no choice but to take this risk.”


  Aunt Ping saw Zhang Jiasen’s successes, that was why she wanted to help get her son a shortcut as well. Originally Zhang Jiasen was just a nobody from the countryside, but due to the Miao family, he managed to get to the peak of life.

  Even Aunt Ping, this housekeeper felt that the Miao family would belong to Zhang Jiasen, so of course the people in the company felt the same. Hence a lot of the higher ups had assisted Zhang Jiasen.

  Even though the Miao family company wasn’t large, wherever people gathered, there was benefits to be obtained.

  Miao Miaomiao was a girl who wasn’t really good at anything, so everyone thought that Father Miao had found Zhang Jiasen as a son-in-law to inherit the Miao family.

  Hence Zhang Jiasen was able to take over managing the company very smoothly after Father Miao died.

  Zhang Jiasen didn’t refute Aunt Ping’s testimony and just calmly accepted it.

  In this crime, Zhang Jiasen was the main culprit and Aunt Ping was an accomplice, so Zhang Jiasen faced severe punishment.

  Hence, Zhang Jiasen’s sentence worsened and he was sentenced to eight years of jail while Aunt Ping was sentenced to four years.

  This meant that Zhang Jiasen would be in jail for eighteen years. That was almost two decades.

  Zhang Jiasen’s body trembled for a moment, but he quickly collected himself. He turned to look towards Ning Shu. From start to finish, Ning Shu’s expression had been indifferent. Zhang Jiasen’s lips moved slightly. His face was a little hazy beneath the lights so his expression couldn’t be made out.

  Once this case ended, Zhang Jiasen’s mother could no longer control herself and she started bawling.

  Zhang Jiasen didn’t seem to care that his mother was wailing, or perhaps he had no way of caring.

  The reporters kept snapping photos of Zhang Jiasen nonstop. Zhang Jiasen had beast written all over his forehead.

  After this trial, Zhang Jiasen was brought down. He looked towards Ning Shu, his lips forming words.

  Ning Shu looked at the shape of his mouth. It was the words ‘Miaomiao.’


  Could it be that even at this time, he was still hoping for her to save him?

  Ning Shu expressed that he sure had nice dreams.

  The trial ended. Ning Shu got up and prepared to leave. There was still one last matter to take care of.

  “Daughter-in-law!” Zhang Jiasen’s father called out to Ning Shu. He got up rather abruptly so he lost his balance slightly, but fortunately someone caught him.
