Chapter 2065: Murderer for Hire

Even though Wu Jingzhong was usually a polite man, everyone had their line in the sand. To him, that was his family, especially his father and daughter.

They were much more important to him than his own life was.

Thinking about how this woman had almost killed his daughter, Wu Jingzhong wished that he could do carry out some vigilante justice and cut her into a thousand pieces.

“Lai Meiling, none of what you said just now is right. On the way here, I got someone to investigate. Your father-in-law, Li Qiongan, is a scumbag. He’s already been divorced three times. Other than your husband, Li Detian’s mother, who was his first wife, every wife of his has been a university student ever since he struck it rich. He usually signs a prenuptial agreement with his wife before every marriage, so what you said just now about being afraid that my daughter would marry your father-in-law and fight for your family property doesn’t make any sense! Lai Meiling, I’ll give you one last chance to tell the truth. After that, don’t blame me for being rude to you! If there’s someone behind the scenes who’s threatening you, you can rest assured that in prison, I can find the most trusted prison guard to watch over you. I won’t allow them to kill you in there. But if you don’t tell the truth, you have to understand that this is Sea District’s prison!”

Lai Meiling was scared silly and did not have the energy to argue. This had come too suddenly. The preparations she made before were not watertight, and the excuses she had thought of were useless. She did not even have time to react to this sudden change.

The man arguing with her was the governor of Sea District! He was not someone she could contend with at all.

She knew that Wu Jingzhong was not making empty threats and promises. Even if she covered for him, her accomplice would not be able to walk free.

In an instant, she felt as if all the strength had been drained from her body. She could not feel any more regretful.

After a long silence, she cried out, “There’s another man.”

Li Detian had been furious from the beginning, but now he looked at her in disbelief. He rushed over to hit her, but he was grabbed by the prison guard before he could.

“Lai Meiling, you b*tch! I treated you so well, yet you still f*cking slept around!”

Lai Meiling cried her heart out. “You treat me well, but so what? Your penis is as small as a toothpick! It can’t satisfy me at all! And I’ve been married to you for so long, but we haven’t gotten pregnant yet. You keep telling me to take medicine, but the Doctor says that I’m not sick! I’m not the problem! You are!”

Watching the two of them quarreling, Wu Jingzhong smacked the table hard and berated them angrily. “Get to the point!”

Lai Meiling was so frightened that she moved aside. She wiped her tears and said, “Two months ago, when I was with him, someone took a photo of us in bed together. They threatened me with the bedroom photo, saying that they wanted Li Detian to know that…

“The child in my stomach was his. Of course Li Detian would have a problem with that. But he was rich! I didn’t want to leave him. I didn’t dare to anger him by telling him I had cheated. So when he threatened me with that picture, I was afraid. I asked them what they wanted to do, and he said that he wanted me to hire a murderer.

“At the time, I didn’t want to. Because if I was caught, I would end up in a worse state than if Li Detian found out that I was pregnant with another man’s child. But they told me that as long as I followed all instructions, I would be fine.”
