“Didn’t you say that no one would seek justice for her? You vicious woman! Has our Li family ever treated you badly? You f*cking eat, wear, and spend every day like a rich lady. I never blamed you even if you lost at mahjong! You hurt our family! B*tch!”

Li Detian was about to kick someone as he cursed, but he was pulled away by the prison guards.

However, he still used the most vicious words he could find to scold Lai Meiling.

From his angry expression, it was clear that Li Detian was not the mastermind. The mastermind was the daughter-in-law of the Li family, Lai Meiling.

Lai Meiling was knocked to the ground. She pretended to be unconscious.

“Governor Wu, she’s fainted.”

“If she’s fainted, splash her with water.”

“Yes.”

After receiving the order, one of the prison guards found a basin of water and splashed it on Lai Meiling.

After a while…

“Governor, she hasn’t woken up yet. Should we get a doctor to take a look at her?”

“No need.” Wu Jingzhong’s lips curled into a cold smile. “If she can’t wake up even after pouring some water on her, we’ll use electricity. She’ll wake up with a shock. If she can’t wake up the first time, then we’ll do it a few more times.”

The prison guard’s mouth twitched. He smiled and said, “Yes.”

Just as the prison guard responded, Lai Meiling faintly blinked open her eyes.

After opening her eyes, Lai Meiling had a blank look on her face. She looked like she did not know what was happening.

“W=what happened? Why am I here? Hubby, where is this place?”

Everyone, “…”

Her acting was terrible!

“You can pretend to faint and have amnesia, but the things you’ve done can’t be erased. Your sentence for breaking those laws won’t be reduced by two years just because you’ve lost your memory. Even if you’ve become a psychopath now and get a professional diagnosis, you committed that crime before you were declared insane, so your sentence will still be the same. if you were sincere, you could at least still defend yourself. But if you aren’t, so I could easily hire the best lawyer in the country to sentence you for the most serious crime we can pin on you. Being paid to kill someone is already a murder charge. Do you think it’s better to be sentenced to death? Or would you rather delay death?”

Lai Meiling was frightened by Wu Jingzhong’s words. Her face was as pale as a ghost.

She could not pretend to be unconscious nor could she pretend to be stupid or to have lost her memory!

She could not continue pretending anymore. Only then did she cry and say, “Governor, please forgive me. I didn’t do it on purpose! I really didn’t do it on purpose! I was possessed by a ghost! I…”

“You don’t have to explain yourself, and you don’t have to tell me how pitiful you are. You tried to kill my daughter. Do you think I’ll have any compassion for you no matter how pitiful your background is? What you need to do now is to make up for what you’ve done and redeem yourself. Tell me who instructed you to do this! This is your best option.”

Lai Meiling’s eyes lit up when she heard the words ‘redeem yourself’. “T-then can you acquit me and let me out? I-I’m pregnant. I’m a pregnant woman! I can’t go to prison! I can’t take care of my baby there! I promise I won’t do this kind of thing ever again!”

Wu Jingzhong said coldly, “You don’t have the right to discuss conditions with me. Just tell me what you know. Otherwise, even if you’re pregnant, you won’t be able to escape death!”

Lai Meiling was so frightened that she turned to the side and cried. “I’m a pregnant woman! There’s life inside my belly! If you sentence me to death or lock me up in prison and let me miscarry, you’ll have a corpse and two lives lost!”
