My Fortune-Blessed Leading Lady-Chapter 639 - 631: Retribution for Being Late - Final -

After 24 hours had passed, just as Zhao Shuqin thought she could walk out of the police station, she was arrested again the moment she stepped out the door, her face still bearing a smirk that hadn’t yet faded.

This time, the charges were more severe: murder, kidnapping among numerous others, resulting in her being sentenced to life imprisonment, with further sanctions to be determined according to relevant statutes.

The matter of nationality complicated the work for the case officers.

Once again locked up, Zhao Shuqin glared at the crisp-uniformed policewoman, "I want to see my lawyer. What grounds do you have to arrest me?"

The policewoman looked indifferently at the weary Zhao Shuqin, "Madam Zhao, you might have been locked up here too long and don’t realize how much can happen in just one night. The deeds you once committed are now laid bare for all to see;

Harming the Xi brothers, kidnapping your nephews and nieces, orchestrating a massacre, hiring hitmen—any one of these is enough to doom you;

Qin Zhen truly loved you, but unfortunately, even Qin Zhen can’t save you now. He will be with you, only his age means he won’t be detained in the same way as you."

Zhao Shuqin was stunned for a few seconds, speechless, "This, this is impossible."

The policewoman, expressionless, as if discussing something perfectly normal, said, "You can pretend I never said this, or pretend you don’t know these things, but your lawyer likely won’t be visiting you anymore;

Don’t you know, Madam Zhao? Just yesterday, Huanya declared bankruptcy, and its legal team has been dismissed. The Xi family has suffered a severe blow and the chances of turning the tables are slim to none."

The wrongs you fabricated have ultimately been sanctioned by law. As an officer, it’s my job to arrest you and bring you in;

However, as an ordinary person, I think you, a deeply malicious woman, deserve this. You brought it upon yourself."

After she finished speaking, the policewoman walked out of the interrogation room. A male officer outside coughed and said, "You shouldn’t have said that last part, you could be reprimanded for it. Personal opinions should not be expressed here."

"I know, but it’s just overwhelming. You don’t understand what Fu Yuran means to me."

The male officer looked baffled, "She’s just an artist, what could she mean?"

"I was once sponsored by her, or else I wouldn’t have had the chance to attend college. Believe me, the Fu Yuran Trust Fund, that charity money, has helped many people."

Male officer: "...But she’s already dead."

"I know, I’m just speaking out for her in vain, there’s nothing I can really do. Rush in and kill this woman? Risk my whole life? I can’t do that."

The vicissitudes of life best reflect the bitterness of living.

No matter how undeserved, those who have passed away will not return.

Xi Nian went to the hospital to see Xi Zhen once; seeing Xi Nian intact, Xi Zhen sneered, "You really are a good grandson of mine."

Even now, he still believed he was not in the wrong, but rather that his grandsons he had raised were too cunning.

Xi Nian fiddled with the lighter in his hand, looking down at the elder Xi, "I never intended to hear you apologize; I just did not expect that for the children and children-in-law you killed, you truly have no regret;

Grandfather, do you feel wronged by the outcome today?

I plotted for over a decade, just to take you down quietly, not to enjoy seeing you get your comeuppance;

Because those who died will not return. You stood by as Zhao Shuqin persecuted the Xi family, claiming deep and profound emotions;

But, truly, you are not wronged, you cold-blooded animal, did you really expect to have feelings?

Does it count as retribution that Zhao Shuqin hated you her whole life?" ƒrēenovelkiss.com

Xi Nian pressed on the old man’s painful spot mercilessly, completely indifferent to his well-being as the old man’s face turned red, struggling for breath.

Xi Nian stood still and unaided, simply watching coldly as he gradually succumbed to suffocation and, just as he was about to lose consciousness, Xi Nian finally pressed the nurse call button.

After Xi Zhen was revived in an emergency, Xi Nian had long since left. The verdict for Zhao Shuqin came three days later; he saw on the news that it was death, to be executed immediately.

And his crimes, too, accumulated to life imprisonment; he didn’t have many years left, with nothing to do but await death.

He found it hard to remember what emotions had driven him to indulge Zhao Shuqin back then.

...

A massive scandal continued for over a month, and "City of Temptation" also extended its screening time. When the Fu Yuran incident finally drew to a close, "City of Temptation" ended with a box office tally of 35 billion yuan.
