Chapter 648 I'll grant your wish
"I..." Lu Jiangting said with trembling lips, "I'm sorry to her. If it weren't for me, my father wouldn't have died. What's the point of a son like me living? If I die, my sister will take care of her."
"Pah! You're the one who causes trouble for others. Your two older sisters are married and have their own lives. Why should they have to clean up your mess? They're the unluckiest family to have a murderer's brother.
Lu Jiangting let out a painful howl, his head bowed, his fists clenched, and the veins on the back of his hands bulging.
"Can't I just die myself? I can't get revenge. I'm sorry to Jianjun. I'll go and apologize to him in person."
"Is it possible that what Wang Jianjun wants is not necessarily their lives, but the truth coming to light?"
Old Wang felt like his lungs were about to explode with anger. "Are you trying to die?"
He sneered, "Fine, I'll grant your wish. After I kill you, I'll personally take the case."
As soon as he finished speaking, Old Wang punched Lu Jiangting, knocking him to the ground.
Then she immediately stepped forward and grabbed his neck.
Right in front of Wang Jianjun's portrait, Old Wang pinched him while cursing.
"Comrade Wang Jianjun died a glorious death, using his life to connect that communication line. We won that battle in a great way, and he deserves credit for it. And you? You died a pathetic death. The motherland has nurtured you for so many years, and you want to exchange your life for that rotten man's life. Rather than let you die a pathetic death and bring shame upon me, I'd rather strangle you with my own hands."
Lu Jiangting felt like he was about to die; his eyes bulged out and were bloodshot.
He felt like he was really going to die, and the pain filled his limbs and bones.
He waved his hands frantically, trying to push Old Wang away.
Perhaps it was because people lacked strength when they were short of oxygen, or perhaps it was because Old Wang was determined to teach him a lesson, but he struggled for a long time without success.
Lu Jiangting felt like he was about to faint; it seemed like his life was about to end.
Turning my head, I saw that Wang Jianjun's portrait next to me was becoming increasingly blurry, while his voice and appearance were becoming clearer and clearer.
In that instant, he felt as if the photograph opposite him had come to life, looking at him, smiling, and even reaching out its hand to him.
Lu Jiangting's eyes immediately filled with tears, and she reached out her hand to him as well.
It was him, Wang Jianjun.
It must be because he was about to die that Wang Jianjun came to pick him up.
He suddenly felt that this was for the best.
But just before he could grab that hand, the person opposite him suddenly pulled it back.
'Build an army?'
Seeing the disappointment on his face, Wang Jianjun slowly said, "What I want is for the truth to come to light. As for the verdict, I respect the law."
Yes, the truth hasn't come to light yet, so does it matter whether someone lives or dies?
If they aren't sentenced to death by firing squad, then the rest of their lives will be worse than death.
He couldn't just die like that; he hadn't even seen the criminals brought to justice.
"I...will not...die..."
The hand that was gripping his neck immediately loosened its grip.
Air entered his nostrils again, but the person in front of him turned into smoke and disappeared. He grabbed at empty air.
The illusion dissipated, and the things before my eyes became clearer and clearer.
The photo is still the same photo.
Lu Jiangting turned his head and saw Old Wang sitting on the ground, panting heavily.
After venting his anger, Lao Wang was no longer angry.
The main problem is that he's an elderly person who hasn't exercised in a long time, so suddenly exercising his whole body is a bit too strenuous for him.
Old Wang turned to look at Lu Jiangting and said, "You've tasted death, haven't you?"
Lu Jiangting was filled with fear, and he couldn't tell if what he had just witnessed was real.
He turned back to look at the photo on the tombstone, a fear gripping his heart. Had he just returned? Were those the words he wanted to say to him?
Lu Jiangting was still in shock.
Old Wang, standing nearby, asked him in a low voice, "Do you still want to die?"
Do you want to die? It turns out that the feeling of being near death is painful and terrifying.
Everyone has to die eventually, but not now.
He still has so many things to do, how can he face Jianjun?
"I... I can't die now."
Old Wang breathed a sigh of relief. "Alright, then you better pull yourself together and get things done. Once you're truly free of worries and owe no one anything, you can die wherever you want."
……
Lu Jiangting went back, and Wang Cuilan cried until she almost went blind.
She could only breathe a sigh of relief when she finally saw him return safely.
"You brat, where have you been? You scared your mother to death! If you die, I won't live either. Let the three of us die together, neat and tidy."
She hurriedly patted Lu Jiangting repeatedly, brushing all the dust off him.
Lu Jiangrong was furious. "You're such a grown man, how could you do something so stupid? What are you going to do if something happens to you? Huh? What do you plan to make her do?"
Lu Jiangting opened his mouth, unable to speak.
Enraged, Lu Jiangrong slapped him. "Say it!"
Unlike Wang Cuilan, who only managed to brush off the dust after being hit a dozen times.
Her slap landed squarely. Lu Jiangting, who was in his forties and had been working in the countryside for a long time, was in his prime. The slap left his face red and swollen, and blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.
It's obvious she's really angry with him.
When Wang Cuilan saw this, she felt extremely distressed.
She hurriedly stopped Lu Jiangting, "Rong'er, what are you doing? He's your brother, he's already upset enough, why are you hitting him?"
"You still spoil him, you still spoil him. I think the reason he turned out the way he is today is because you spoiled him."
"You...you still dare to say that? You're such a big older sister, how could you hit him?"
“I hit him, so what? I think he deserves a beating. If he had been beaten a couple of times when he was a kid, he wouldn’t be as willful as he is now.”
"Fine, now that your father's gone, you're bullying your brother, huh? I... I don't want you to interfere anymore. Get out of here, get out right now."
"Fine, fine, I'm leaving, right? Okay, I'm leaving now. If I ever bother with you again, I'm not a Lu."
"Hey, big sister." Lu Jiangyun quickly pulled her away. "Big sister, Mother is just too worried about little brother. Don't take it to heart."
"Then tell me, should this kid have been hit or not?"
"This……"
Before Lu Jiangyun could say anything, Lu Jiangting spoke first.
"It's time to hit."
Everyone looked at him in shock.
With half his face swollen and red, he gave a bitter laugh and said, "Big sister was right to hit me, big sister was right to scold me. I was willful, foolish, stubborn... I'm sorry to my parents, sorry to you, sorry to Yuyao, sorry to Jianjun, sorry to everyone. I deserve to be hit, I even deserve to die."
"You...you shouldn't say that." She had scolded him and hit him, but she didn't really want him to die.
"But... sister, could you give me a little time?"
"how?"
"I still have things to finish. Once I've done everything, owe no one anything, and have no more worries, then I'll be fine with whatever I want."
