Reincarnation: I Married My Ex's Brother

Chapter 343: From Now On, The King Will Not Come Early

Tang Jiangyun heard that someone had come to visit him.

He thought about it again and again. In the end, he couldn’t guess who else would be willing to visit him after he had committed such a serious crime.

He had gone through many candidates in his mind. However, when Tang Jiangyun went to the prison cell and saw the person sitting outside, he was stunned.

He was stunned for nearly two minutes before he pulled his lips up and laughed at himself.

“I never thought that we would meet here one day,” Tang Jiangyun spoke first.

Zhang Yang’s deep gaze landed on him for a long time.

Tang Jiangyun thought that Zhang Yang would scold him and humiliate him. In the end, Zhang Yang just quietly looked at him for a while before saying, “You look better in a prison uniform than in a police uniform.”

Tang Jiangyun was stunned again. A trace of embarrassment flashed across his eyes.

He could no longer smile. He became silent and lowered his head, allowing Zhang Yang to size him up.

Zhang Yang finally shifted his gaze away from him.

Tang Jiangyun heaved a sigh of relief.

Zhang Yang said the second sentence after they met. “I thought that you would eventually realize your mistakes.”

“Wh-what?” Tang Jiangyun didn’t understand what he meant.

Zhang Yang said, “When I was injured last time, I started to suspect you.” Their gazes finally met. Zhang Yang’s gaze was sharp and painful, while Tang Jiangyun’s was confused and stunned.

“H-how did you find out?” Tang Jiangyun sounded incredulous.

Zhang Yang said, “Your marksmanship is one of the best in our team. With your ability, it was impossible for Duan Bu to escape.” Zhang Yang’s sharp gaze seemed to be able to see through Tang Jiangyun’s soul. Tang Jiangyun felt even more ashamed. His throat was dry and his heart bitter.

Tang Jiangyun recalled that time when Zhang Yang was injured and he had gone to the hospital to visit him. Zhang Yang had stared at him for a long time. That gaze of his had shocked Tang Jiangyun. Tang Jiangyun had almost run away. Later on, Zhang Yang took the initiative to talk to him and even called him Miao Miao. Therefore, Tang Jiangyun thought that he was overthinking and didn’t care.

It turned out that his partner had already discovered something.

After understanding all of this, Tang Jiangyun felt even more bitter.

Why?

He had already suspected me, so why didn’t he expose me?

As Tang Jiangyun was thinking that, he didn’t realize he had already asked the question in his heart.

Hearing his question, Zhang Yang suddenly laughed.

When Tang Jiangyun heard his laughter, he looked up at him and saw his red eyes. His lips quivered for a moment, but he did not say a word.

“I thought that the fact that you almost killed me was enough for you to get your conscience back, but you disappointed me! What you did was a slap to my face. Captain Huang, Ah Xu, and the rest all died because I was kind to you!

“It’s my fault. Why did I have to protect a traitor like you!”

“It’s my kindness, my weakness, that implicated Captain Huang and the rest. Tang Jiangyun, tell me, how should I atone for my sins! Tell me!” No matter how Zhang Yang roared and raged, Tang Jiangyun could not give him an answer. He felt guilty as he looked at the person who was always smiling cheekily, now crying and scolding him as he hammered his heart with his hands.

This self-blaming behavior shocked Tang Jiangyun.

“Ah Yang, your injury…” Tang Jiangyun wanted to remind Zhang Yang not to be so agitated. His chest had been injured before and he could not do that.

However, his words were like a catalyst that completely triggered Zhang Yang’s guilt.

“I might as well be dead!”

Zhang Yang smashed his chest harder and harder. He roared, “I’m also a sinner. I should go to jail too. Let me die!”

Tang Jiangyun had no choice but to press the emergency bell and call the prison guard over.

When the prison guard arrived, he asked, “What happened!?”

Tang Jiangyun quickly begged him and said, “He is my friend. His chest was injured three months ago. He cannot abuse himself like this…”

The prison guard hurriedly stopped Zhang Yang and shouted at him, “Hey, please calm down!”

The guard pressed Zhang Yang’s head onto the stool. Zhang Yang was still crying as he scolded Tang Jiangyun. “Tang Jiangyun, you killed them!

“Who the hell is your friend!

“I don’t have friends who betray their brothers like you!

“I regret knowing you the most!”

Tang Jiangyun listened to Zhang Yang’s cursing and could not say a word.

When the visiting hours were over, the prison guard pulled Zhang Yang out.

Zhang Yang walked to the door and suddenly asked Tang Jiangyun, “Don’t you have anything to say to me?”

Separated by a glass window, Tang Jiangyun looked at the man’s face with a pair of deep and guilty eyes. He had a lot of things to say to him. He wanted to apologize, but he couldn’t bring himself to do so. He wanted to ask him to take care of Kemiao. He wanted to say that he actually blamed himself.

But in the end, Zhang Yang only heard Tang Jiangyun say four words. He said—

“Just forget about me.”

Zhang Yang was like a tape recorder that was suddenly jammed. He was in a daze.

The remaining curses disappeared.

After the visitation ended, Zhang Yang returned to his car and sat down. He tilted his head and looked at the door of the prison. He had mixed feelings.

He thought about Tang Jiangyun, who was going to be executed in a few days. He thought about Huang Junsheng and the rest. He thought about the families of the victims and the drug dealers who were still jumping around and would never disappear. In the end, he couldn’t help but cover his face with his hands.

Warmth spread in his palm. He rubbed his eyes hard, mixing his tears and snot.

“M*therf*cker!”

He didn’t know who he was scolding. After he was done, he put away the pain in his heart and drove away.

Five days later, Tang Jiangyun was brought to the execution ground and was executed.

Tang Kemiao had gone to collect his body. When she saw her uncle’s body, the sixteen-year-old girl had cried her heart out. Tang Kemiao didn’t hold a funeral for Tang Jiangyun. She only cremated his body and buried it in a low-profile manner.

Even though she had hidden this matter very well, on the day of Tang Jiangyun’s burial, many people still vandalized his tomb with red ink. A few family members of the police stood in front of his tombstone and spurned it.

Jiaren Wu, Kang Hui, and the others watched from afar. They wanted to do something, but in the end, they didn’t go forward. Jiaren Wu only ran over and took the frightened Tang Kemiao away.

At night, those people left indignantly.

Zhang Yang took a brush and half a bucket of water to wipe away the filth on Tang Jiangyun’s tombstone. After he was done, he stared at the grave for a long time. Finally, he muttered, “Be an ordinary person in your next life. Don’t be a police officer. There are too many unpredictable circumstances in our profession.”

When he left the cemetery, he found Jiaren Wu and Kang Hui still there.

As he carried the bucket, he felt guilty.

Kang Hui knew that Zhang Yang was feeling guilty. He walked forward and patted his shoulder. Suddenly, he said, “He is in the wrong regarding this matter, but he is also a victim.” Tang Kemiao was Tang Jiangyun’s only relative. Those people had captured Tang Kemiao; they had captured Tang Jiangyun’s weakness.

Tang Jiangyun had indeed committed a grave sin, but he was not the one who initiated it.

When Zhang Yang heard his words, he felt terrible.

He could not help but ask Kang Hui, “Did that girl Kemiao receive treatment?”

“We’ve already given her blood sample to the research institute. She still doesn’t know about her poisoning.”

Jiaren Wu also said, “We’re not sure if it’s cured yet.”

Everyone had been very busy during this period.

Jiaren Wu and Kang Hui both had dark circles under their eyes.

Zhang Yang saw their worried expressions and said, “I want to go back to work.”

“Don’t! Rest well first. Once you’ve recovered, come back and sell your life again.”

Zhang Yang also knew that good health was a prerequisite for work, so he did not mention this matter anymore.

Late at night, Jiaren Wu rode her motorcycle home.

She climbed the stairs and went home. When she reached her house, she realized that someone was sitting on the stairs.

Hearing footsteps, Wei Shuyi raised his head.

He had a sleepy look in his eyes and an exhausted expression. However, he didn’t seem to be able to sleep in peace, which moved Jiaren Wu. Jiaren Wu fell in a daze. She had been too busy recently and hadn’t seen Wei Shuyi in a long time. She sat down next to Wei Shuyi and rested her head on his shoulder, asking, “How long have you been here?”

“I came over at ten.”

He had gone home after work, but he kept thinking about Jiaren Wu. He was initially lying on the bed, but he had gotten up, put on his clothes, and drove over.

Jiaren Wu leaned against him, almost falling asleep.

Wei Shuyi sighed and stroked her hair. He asked, “Have you been tired recently?”

“Yes. I can’t sleep well every day, I can’t eat well, and it’s even worse that I can’t see you.” Jiaren Wu’s voice became softer and softer as if she was about to fall asleep.

Wei Shuyi took out the key from her pocket.

He looked at the little person hanging on her key and suddenly asked Jiaren Wu, “I seem to have seen this person before. Where did you get it?”

Jiaren Wu did not answer him.

She was already asleep.

Wei Shuyi was a little stunned. At the same time, he felt pity for her.

“Sleep on the bed.”

He helped Jiaren Wu up and opened the door. Supporting her by the waist, he carried her to the big bed in the bedroom. Jiaren Wu had yet to shower. Wei Shuyi saw that she was really tired, so he didn’t ask her to shower. He took off her shoes and dried her face and hands with a towel. Wei Shuyi then turned off the lights and slept next to her.

When he opened her eyes, the sky was already bright.

There was no one beside him, but the water was running in the bathroom.

Wei Shuyi sat up and rubbed his head. He still wanted to sleep.

With a click, Jiaren Wu opened the bathroom door and walked out. She was naked.

Wei Shuyi raised his head and saw all of her good figure.

Jiaren Wu thought that Wei Shuyi was going to sleep for a while longer before waking up, so she hadn’t even bothered to change out of her clothes. Jiaren Wu wanted to find something to cover herself up, but as soon as her eyes swept across the room, she gave up.

It was not like they hadn’t faced each other calmly before!

She walked over to Wei Shuyi and sat in his arms, wrapping her arms around his neck.

Wei Shuyi finally woke up.

It had been a long time since they were intimate. Wei Shuyi couldn’t help but feel something.

However, he endured it and did not act recklessly.

Jiaren Wu bit his earlobe and said softly, “I’m resting today.” After being busy for more than a month, she could finally rest for two days. Jiaren Wu originally planned to look for Wei Shuyi today, but he came to her house last night.

Hearing this, Wei Shuyi, who had just been well-behaved, suddenly hugged her and stood up. He turned around and threw her back onto the big bed.

Jiaren Wu was thrilled.

As she responded to Wei Shuyi’s enthusiasm, she complained. “I haven’t touched you for more than a month. You don’t even know how much I miss you. I miss you, your body, and even more so your cooking!” As she spoke, Wei Shuyi had already become one with her.

She grunted in discomfort and quickly adapted to his speed.

Wei Shuyi bit her collarbone and said hoarsely, “I’ll make it for you later. What do you want to eat today?”

Jiaren Wu was enjoying herself. Her body felt good, and so did her mood.

“I want to eat chicken soup, shredded meat noodles, and fried dumplings in the morning. I want to eat meat for lunch. A lot of meat. Pork trotters, chicken, duck meat, and fish meat. This month, I’ve been eating the food and take-out from the canteen. I feel like crying when I think of meat. Tonight, I want to eat…” When she opened her mouth to speak, her voice was especially seductive, making Wei Shuyi’s bones tingle.

Wei Shuyi couldn’t help but laugh when he heard that she had ordered all kinds of meat. He said, “Aren’t you eating meat now?”

Jiaren Wu pouted. “How is that enough?

“Besides, this meat can only satisfy the body but not the stomach.”

“Alright, alright, I’ll listen to you.”

Wei Shuyi was supposed to go to work today, but since Jiaren Wu was resting today, he decided to take a day off.

***

Elder Xu had long returned to China. He went to Wei Shuyi’s office and didn’t see anyone. When he saw Yuan Jun, he asked, “Where’s your senior brother?”

Yuan Jun stuffed a bun into his mouth and said as he chewed, “The night is short, and the sun rises high. From now on, the king won’t be coming in early. That coward is busy accompanying his girlfriend!”

“Oh?”

Elder Xu was suddenly interested. “Your senior brother has a girlfriend?”

“Of course! He even came to work many times with a hickey.” Yuan Jun had seen it once and laughed at Wei Shuyi. He was even mocked by Wei Shuyi for being single and jealous of him.
