I became the Counterpart of the Winner in a Period Novel-Chapter 202 - 199: Who Is the Final Winner

It’s just that Jiang Beihua probably never imagined in his wildest dreams that all his misdeeds were being monitored by his ex-wife from the very beginning.

Never underestimate a woman, especially when her love for you turns into hatred; the power she unleashes is beyond your imagination.

In the past few days, Hehua quietly followed Jiang Beihua. Perhaps he was too arrogant, or maybe she was too cautious, but he didn’t notice anything. Twice she was startled by snakes that appeared suddenly, but fortunately, she reacted quickly, throwing out a pre-prepared wild rabbit prop to cover her tracks, making Jiang Beihua unsuspecting. Thus, the surveillance went smoothly.

However, Hehua also didn’t expect that, like a mantis stalking a cicada unaware of the oriole behind, what she thought were her obedient men, Ermao San Gou, were never truly under her command. While she was monitoring Jiang Beihua, Liu Siyuan was also watching her.

Things happened one night, and early the next morning someone reported to Nanxi City. Due to the severity of the incident, it wasn’t just a typical village dispute, so representatives from Nanxi City got involved directly rather than passing it to the commune. More people came, and hence Jiang Mingyue saw familiar faces.

Like Helian An, and the older policeman this time showed his ID with her spiritual power.

It read the name: Gan Fengzhe.

The name is quite unique and rare!

It doesn’t match his amiable elder aura at all.

Jiang Beihua was only detained for four days, but because Hehua stood up to testify, and Gan Fengzhe’s team returned to Qingshan Village based on Liu Yinghe’s confession, they thoroughly inspected the spider web and abandoned woodshed at the Jiang Family’s old house backyard. There they indeed found substantial evidence proving Liu Yinghe’s statement was true. Additionally, they found discarded sacks, binding ropes, and smelly socks picked up at the bottom of the valley, along with information gathered by visiting each household. Even Jiang Family’s Jiang Beishan provided some useful evidence, solidifying Jiang Beihua’s guilt.

Jiang Beihua is an ambitious person; he cherishes his life. How could he accept this? While detained, he howled and denied hysterically, not knowing that Gan Fengzhe was an experienced old fox. After several rounds of interrogation, and meeting Liu Yinghe once, Jiang Beihua completely broke down, turning from howling to being silent and withdrawn, and this silence changed on the third day.

Jiang Beihua turned around and accused Liu Yinghe of being an accomplice.

Well then! You want me dead, so I’ll drag you to hell with me.

Turning from a witness to a criminal, it took Liu Yinghe only three days, and crucially, she was also detained.

This greatly surprised Liu Yinghe, and more surprises awaited her.

Ermao San Gou came out to testify against her while clearing themselves completely. Their statement was that they enjoyed running around the hills of various villages. This time while chasing a deer, they came from Liu Village and, on the night of the eighteenth, with moonlight, they chased it intending to roast it on the spot. However, they inadvertently ran into a man and woman on the mountain, who they caught pushing a bound person off the cliff, and afterward, they embraced each other. Ermao San Gou recognized the couple but dared not make a sound for fear of being silenced, and they were too scared to leave their house for three days after returning.

Once they went out and heard that something happened in Qingshan Village, they realized it was the very incident they had witnessed.

Since someone had already reported it, their involvement wasn’t needed anymore.

Yet, this matter did relate to them, as having witnessed it firsthand gave them more concern. They usually liked wandering around, happened to be near the Southern Institute in Nanxi City, and were actually inquiring about follow-ups. Upon learning that there was only one criminal, they were puzzled, intending to inquire further when there was a reversal. When they saw the institute soliciting information from insiders, they stepped forward to provide it.

In the end, it turned out just as Jiang Beihua predicted, husband and ex-wife both faced each other.

With testimonies and physical evidence, the matter reached a final conclusion quickly.

Jiang Family’s second household in Qingshan Village, one had just left, and another soon faced demise, even more so due to fratricide, leaving the rest in sighs and leaving Wu Cuilan in tears. She struck Jiang Beishan like a madwoman, blaming Jiang Beishan as the culprit. If she hadn’t betrayed her brother, she wouldn’t have lost her other son. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Jiang Zhenghui harbored the same resentment toward his daughter but had other thoughts, such as only having one daughter left to rely on now that both of his sons who would care for him in his old age were gone. So, he hoped his daughter could marry well, allowing him to follow his daughter. It would be best if she married within the village, ensuring they wouldn’t have a hard time with the village dividends. Of course, he wouldn’t put all his hopes on his daughter.

He sought another path, such as having another son. Wu Cuilan was too old for that, so he would find someone else who could bear children.

The Jiang Family’s old house became extraordinarily desolate with two less family members suddenly gone. Even during the busy harvest season, Wu Cuilan and her husband, as well as Xu Feng, remained inactive, the only one unwilling to stay home and get beaten was Jiang Beishan, who went to work, preferring it over staying home.

But she was now eager to get married, unable to stay at home any longer.

She couldn’t understand why the once enviable family in the village turned into this within just a few months.

When did it start?

It seemed to begin when the eldest cousin proposed a split in the family, withholding money meant for their grandma, leading to this outcome. Before, she would have blamed Jiang Ming’an, or even the entire third branch, especially the annoying Jiang Mingyue.

But Jiang Mingyue had become something incredible now, becoming the village’s propaganda committee member, and the villagers seemed to follow her lead. Yet, after this family upheaval, she suddenly could no longer find hatred.

Was her older brother’s death unjust? Not at all—he dug his own grave with murder.

Was her third brother’s case unjust? She didn’t think so either. With all his malicious deeds, even if others weren’t aware, just listing a few incidents could skin him alive. When Yang the Third left, the third brother should have left as well, and he considered himself fortunate to have lived a few additional months.

The family now had only her as the junior member. No, also a shameless person living in grandma’s room, Zheng Honglian. She couldn’t understand why grandma wouldn’t chase her away. In the past, Jiang Beishan would certainly have gone to tear into Zheng Honglian, but now it’s different—she has no interest at all. Let grandma keep her if she wants.

Anyway, few in their family are normal, so doing abnormal things makes sense. Grandma favored an outsider over her own granddaughter, but she didn’t care. She didn’t even covet it, finding her own disinterest strange. Following this family upheaval, her psyche seemed to transform into someone else.

She even felt ashamed to be a part of this family, but alas, they were her relatives, and she couldn’t sever ties.

In the harvest season, taking advantage of the clear weather, everyone in the village was busy harvesting crops, including brick factory workers and village committee members, who rolled up their sleeves and got to work. In this season, everyone was the same.
