Chapter 189 A Couple on the Run
Jiang Mianzhi saw through Fu Wantang's clumsy acting skills. How come he didn't notice it at all back then?
Yes, he loved her too much.
Blinded by love, how could he possibly see clearly whether the person beside him was a human or a ghost?
When he loves her, he will naturally choose the former – genuine affection versus mere pretense.
"Uncle," Ruan Jingyi called out timidly.
She had never seen her uncle so fierce before, and for a moment she was so scared that she clutched the seam of her trouser leg.
"You continue with yours." Jiang Mianzhi knew his niece had a hard time, but he wasn't in the mood to talk to her today.
He then looked at Fu Wantang, "Let's talk in private."
The man, who was usually gentle, suddenly had a cold face, and Fu Wantang was somewhat taken aback.
She was afraid to leave, always feeling that something bad would happen if she did.
"I still have some things to take care of here."
Jiang Mianzhi: "You'd better listen to me."
His aura was so powerful and intimidating that Fu Wantang silently followed him.
Fu Wantang followed Jiang Mianzhi to a secluded spot where there were few people, and the two stood facing each other.
Unable to bear the intense, scrutinizing gaze, which seemed to weigh heavily on her, Fu Wantang spoke first to ease the tension.
"Aren't you farming back in your hometown? What brings you to Jincheng?"
Jiang Mianzhi squinted, staring intently at Fu Wantang, as if trying to see right through her.
With his last glimmer of hope, he spoke, "In all these years, has your heart ever, even for a single minute, ever beaten for me?"
His own affairs were no longer important; he just wanted to know if the woman he had loved his whole life had ever loved him.
If he could have even a second, he would be content.
If so, then his current fate is a just punishment for his sins.
If he did, he would live his whole life embracing that one moment of love.
When Fu Wantang saw that he didn't answer her question but instead asked her whether he loved her, she realized that Jiang Mianzhi already knew a lot.
Now that she already knows, what's the point of putting on an act? Anyway, she's already divorced Jiang Mianzhi.
With everyone watching, no matter how fierce or frightening Jiang Mianzhi was, he wouldn't dare to do anything to her!
Thinking of this, Fu Wantang arrogantly raised her chin and, in front of Jiang Mianzhi, openly looked at the boats that were far ahead on the river.
That was the team led by Leng Shize.
She no longer concealed her admiration for Leng Shize, and her words were chillingly cold: "No."
In an instant, Fu Wantang's words felt like an ice dagger piercing his heart.
Jiang Mianzhi staggered backward and bumped into a trash can with a loud "bang".
Fu Wantang never took Deputy Director Jiang seriously, let alone her ex-husband Jiang Mianzhi.
She was completely unconcerned about Jiang Mianzhi's overwhelming rage; with so many police officers around, Jiang Mianzhi couldn't hurt her in the slightest.
She reminisced about the youthful appearance of the man she admired, and her words were filled with tender affection.
"Zhi Mu Shao Ai, he has always been the one I love."
"Since we've come this far, I'm not afraid to tell you: the only reason I married you is because you're the easiest person in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to win over and manipulate."
"More importantly, when you first joined the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, it was Brother Shize who mentored you. I'm playing the role of a rich heiress falling in love with a young man from the countryside, which is hard not to impress people. I want to marry someone from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs so that I can get all the information about Brother Shize."
Jiang Mianzhi clenched his fist; his deep affection was nothing but a joke.
"Your current situation has nothing to do with me. It's because you're arrogant, because you want to go it alone, and because you're stuck in your ways. If you were willing to make friends, everything you have wouldn't have been divided up by so many people, and you wouldn't have been separated from your family."
"We are divorced, and there is nothing more between us."
"As for your child Jiang Kai, consider it my appearance fee for you. After he gets out of prison, I will ensure that he lives a life of wealth and luxury, with more money than he can spend for the rest of his life."
All these words were like buckets of cold water poured over my head, a truly enlightening experience.
Despite the bright sunshine, Jiang Mianzhi felt a chill running through his body, a coldness that penetrated to the bone.
Fu Wantang wanted to get rid of him after using him, but he wouldn't allow that to happen.
“Fu Wantang, I’m divorcing you because I don’t want you to suffer with me, not because I want you to live with another man,” Jiang Mianzhi said sternly.
Fu Wantang was determined not to have anything to do with Jiang Mianzhi.
Once today is over, Shize will come to her begging for clarification.
In this way, she can be with her brother Shize.
She had to draw a clear line between herself and Jiang Mianzhi, and be with her brother Shize in a completely innocent way.
Fu Wantang said coldly, "Since we've parted ways, we have no further connection and owe each other nothing."
"What a fine 'even if we owe each other nothing' approach." Jiang Mianzhi sneered, his hand reaching to his waist, the cold touch reassuring him.
"Fu Wantang, don't even think about it!"
In the blink of an eye, a flash of silver light appeared.
With a "hiss," Fu Wantang felt a sharp pain in her chest.
The pain was too deep to express.
The next second, a metallic sweetness surged in his throat, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.
Fu Wantang lowered her gaze, looking in disbelief at the knife stuck in her chest, the hilt held in Jiang Mianzhi's hand.
The man before her grinned menacingly. "Even in death, you must be mine. We'll die together, and we'll be together for all eternity."
Everyone was focused on the rowing race on the other side of the bridge, and no one paid attention to what was happening on Fu Wantang and Jiang Mianzhi's side.
A bridge separates the river.
On one side, the game is in full swing; on the other side...
With a "plop," it sounded as if something had fallen into the river.
The last policeman at Linjiang Station heard the noise and turned his head, only to see two figures.
Everything happened so fast that he whistled, "Someone has fallen into the river!"
The nearby police all looked over, and the rescue boats on the river turned around to come and rescue people.
At the same time, Leng Shi led his team to the finish line and successfully won first place.
Leng Shi looked around, celebrating this exciting moment.
Suddenly, the rescue boat was seen to turn around, and there were also unusual movements of the security forces on the shore.
Oh no, something's wrong.
In this friendly match between the two countries, we absolutely cannot allow any accidents to happen, especially for Cameroon's players.
In the blink of an eye, Leng Shi plunged into the river like a fish.
While the media personnel were still completely bewildered, they instinctively zoomed in and looked around for the person.
Visibility is limited in murky water.
But Leng Shi identified the direction and swam to the target location as quickly as possible.
He arrived at Fu Wantang and Jiang Mianzhi's side at almost the same time as the rescuers.
The scene before him unfolded like a movie, playing in slow motion frame by frame.
Fu Wantang opened her mouth in horror. As the dagger was pulled from her chest, blood gushed out and mingled with the river water.
Just when he thought it was all over, Jiang Mianzhi stabbed him in the left side of his chest.
They went in and out quickly, and then the blood stained the river red.
A group of people watched helplessly as everything happened at the speed of light within a one-meter radius.
Leng Shize and another rescuer grabbed Jiang Mianzhi's hand at almost the same time.
With a gesture, everyone swam over and worked together to pull the two men, whose hearts had stopped beating, onto the rescue boat.
The moment Leng Shize jumped into the river, the relevant leaders reacted immediately, activating the signal jammer and ordering all media outlets to shut down their audio-visual equipment.
Leng Shi was panting heavily. He looked at the two bloodless faces and his deep gaze swept over their hands.
Even as he was about to die from excessive blood loss, Jiang Mianzhi's hand remained firmly gripping Fu Wantang's wrist.
These two are truly in love! They are indeed a pair of doomed lovers.
