Chapter 309 You beast, do you even deserve to talk about love?
Although it looks like an old scar, you can tell how serious the injury was back then, with even a piece of flesh being torn away.
The scar was captured in its entirety by the live streaming equipment, and the entire internet could see it clearly.
"Over the past 20 years, he has subjected me to countless acts of coercion, mental torture, and personal humiliation. These are the scars left from my numerous suicide attempts in my early years. Yet he uses 395 cameras to monitor me in all aspects, and servants patrol me every 10 minutes. A medical team is on standby 24 hours a day, leaving me unable to live or die."
Are you telling me this is merely imprisonment?
Everyone stared in shock at her profile, unable to imagine the hellish experience she had gone through.
Jingying turned to Zeng Nian again, looking at his face, which had lost all color, and poured out all her hatred:
"Why?! Why are you torturing me like this?! Why won't you let me go even though you don't love me anymore?! Why are you ruining my life?! Why?!!!!"
Meeting her hateful gaze, Zeng Nian felt a piercing sense of despair for the first time. His lips trembled as he spoke:
"No...no...no, I...I'm Yingying who loves you!! You have to believe me!! I just can't bear to lose you!!"
Jingying was stunned the moment she heard him say 'love'.
Then, as if she had heard the biggest joke in the world,
"Hahahahahahahahaha..."
His laughter sounded almost manic, and he even squeezed out tears.
"Love??? You beast, you dare to talk about love?"
Zeng Nian was gripped by an unprecedented panic. He tried to struggle to his feet, but the defendant's dock held him firmly in place, so much so that his hands were bound and bleeding.
"Yingying! I'm sorry! I really know I was wrong! Believe me, from now on I will only love you. Please give me a chance to make it up to you! There will be no more obstacles between us! We can start over!! I know you love me too! I know all of that!!"
Looking at the fervent plea in Zeng Nian's eyes, Jing Ying's eyes remained stagnant.
Everyone present felt a pang of pain as they looked at Jingying in the witness stand.
She was clearly standing there, still alive.
Yet it gave the impression that her soul had long since died, leaving only a body, a lifeless, zombie-like existence.
Zeng Yichen was in tears, unable to control himself. It was the first time he had truly felt his mother's pain and despair.
Thinking back to that tower without even windows, my mother spent 20 years there…
A new wave of insults against Zeng Nian has swept across the internet.
'Is this bastard even human?! How could he torture a perfectly healthy person like this?!'
'That's so tragic! How many 20-year periods does a person have in their life? Even a 20-year sentence can be reduced; if it weren't for her son and daughter-in-law's intervention, who knows how long she would have been locked up.'
'That Zeng Nian is a complete pervert! His twisted mind insisted on stealing the lime powder from Commander Qi, and he won't even let his first wife go free. What a despicable man who wants both!'
'Waaah... It seems that living in a wealthy family is no place for a human. First Qiu Lingyue, then Jing Ying, each one more miserable than the last. It's safer to be an ordinary person.'
'At least Qiu Lingyue has a man who's devoted to her, but Jingying is much worse off... she was ruined like this by the man she loved.'
'This shows that whether a man loves you or not doesn't prevent him from bringing you unhappiness. Women should live more for themselves!'
……
"presiding judge,"
Jingying turned to look at the judge's bench.
“I testify that I witnessed it firsthand at the scene. Zeng Nian tried to shoot Zeng Yan’s wife, An Lian, but Zeng Yan appeared in time and blocked the bullet.”
Zeng Nian bit his lip hard, feeling a pain like a thousand arrows piercing his heart for the first time.
He never imagined that Jingying hated him to such an extent, but more painful than her hatred was the way she had given up on him.
When he brought up divorce with her, he told her that his heart would always belong to her, and asked her to understand him and stay by his side. He said that apart from no longer being able to give her a formal title, he would still give her complete love.
But the next day he discovered she had booked a plane ticket abroad, and he was furious! How could she leave him? So in a fit of anger, he decided to lock her up.
He knew she was suicidal at first, so he strengthened the control system and equipped her with a top-notch medical team. Over time, she stopped causing trouble, and she no longer resisted him whenever he went to see her, get close to her, and be intimate with her.
Zeng Nian always thought she had figured things out, but she never expected that she had completely given up on him...
How could he possibly accept this?!
“Ying…”
He even tried to call out to her; he couldn't believe she really had no feelings for him anymore.
They had so many happy memories and a child together. Her smile was so radiant back then, how could she possibly stop loving him just like that?
She needed to know that her testimony wasn't just causing her pain, but could actually cost her her life! If she died, how could she make amends? How could she make her see that she still loved her?
The bailiff, who could connect to a USB drive, interrupted his call at that moment.
"Your Honor, the USB drive has been decrypted!"
The presiding judge nodded: "Play it immediately."
The bailiffs, following orders, opened the only video file in the document.
Then, the scene appeared, seemingly from a person's first-person perspective.
The first person to appear was An Yuanrang himself, his brow furrowed as he adjusted the screen.
"Okay, whatever happens in a moment, it will be transmitted directly from this button camera back to the encrypted cloud space."
Lianlian, you absolutely must be careful!
Zeng Nian suddenly felt dizzy.
What...what is this?! Surveillance footage?!
Did An Lian film everything that happened that day?!
The video continues.
An Lian met Zeng Yichen at the dock, and the two boarded a rubber boat and went directly to the foot of Nansha Tower. Zeng Yichen then climbed up the tower.
Even though it was a replay, the sight of Zeng Yichen struggling to climb made viewers feel their hearts ache several times, as if they were there themselves, and they couldn't help but cheer him on.
Finally, he successfully entered the tower, and everyone outside the screen breathed a sigh of relief.
Suddenly, in the scene, Zeng Nian's convoy suddenly appeared on the shore.
Seeing An Lian's actions, it seemed she was planning to jump off the kayak and hide first, and her tense breathing could be heard from the speakers.
But the next second, people on the shore pointed guns at her, followed by Zeng Nian's ugly face.
"An Lian, are you sure you want to run away? If you run away, Zeng Yichen is doomed."
Everyone glared angrily at Zeng Nian. This beast even dared to threaten others with his own son's life! What a piece of trash!
