Chapter 518: Chapter 517: Ye Wenhan’s Tragic End (third update)

“I can’t spend a lifetime in jail, I can’t bear it!” Ye Wenhan showed weakness. His energy was completely gone, like a dispirited, once-brave dog.

Jun Minghan sneered.

He said, “Why should I help you? Who do you think you are? Qian Guanshu?”

Ye Wenhan stared straight at Jun Minghan.

“Let me put it like this. Qian Guanshu held significant criminal evidence against me and my mother. We would do whatever he asked. Luckily, you killed him yourself, and when you did, our criminal evidence disappeared. You could say you did our family a big favor.”

“What did you say!”

“Don’t you understand what I’m saying? It was me who set you up in the first place, making you kill your strong supporter with your own hands. I bet even Qian Guanshu didn’t see your betrayal coming. Of course, with his death, you’re finished too. I just didn’t expect it to happen so quickly. I thought you would at least hold on for a while longer. I expected too much from you…”

“What did you say, Jun Minghan! What did you say! Did you trick me into killing my own father, was all this your conspiracy?!”

“In my eyes, Qian Guanshu was a cunning old fox, a nuisance that needed to be eliminated. As for you… Only Song Zhizhi thought highly of you. I really couldn’t be bothered to deal with you! To be honest, to us, you’re as good as a fool.”

“Jun Minghan!” Ye Wenhan roared.

The noise was so loud, it made the jail cell shake.

His rage was immeasurable.

“You’re such a fool but you don’t even realize it. You’re still making reckless decisions. However, thanks to your stupidity, you killed Qian Guanshu and ended my worries. I should still thank you after all.” Jun Minghan said with utmost disdain, “I’ll try to arrange some good care for you in prison.”

Ye Wenhan couldn’t utter a word.

His eyes were bloodshot.

He couldn’t believe, wouldn’t believe that killing Qian Guanshu was a mistake.

By killing Qian Guanshu, he had experienced real power and real pleasure.

Qian Guanshu deserved to die!

Jun Minghan didn’t seem to want to waste any more words with Ye Wenhan.

Talking to Ye Wenhan was a waste of time.

“So, you really won’t help me?” Ye Wenhan watched Jun Minghan walk out.

Jun Minghan said, “You’re not worth it.”

“What about what happened when Qian Guanshu escaped from prison…”

“If it’s revealed, it would only prove that you killed your own father. I won’t take any responsibility. To be clear, I planned this out from the beginning. Why would I leave any evidence against myself? Just because Qian Guanshu was treated well doesn’t mean you will be.” Jun Minghan retorted without hesitation.

He laughed sarcastically and left without further ado.

Ye Wenhan stared at Jun Minghan’s retreating figure.

Just staring…

All his hopes were gone.

He thought that since Qian Guanshu could get Jun Minghan’s help, so could he.

But he was wrong.

He wasn’t entitled.

He had killed his own supporter.

…

Jun Minghan left the detention center.

He ran into Song Zhizhi.

They examined each other.

Jun Minghan initiated the conversation, “Miss Song, what a coincidence.”

“It seems Mr. Jun has already met with Ye Wenhan.”

“I have.”

“Ye Wenhan should have some self-awareness now, I guess.” Song Zhizhi laughed, saying, “Now that Mr. Jun has revealed everything.”

Jun Minghan also laughed, “Miss Song is indeed very sharp.”

“Mr. Jun is too kind.”

“I’ll leave Miss Song to meet Mr. Ye.”

Song Zhizhi nodded slightly.

Jun Minghan entered a sedan and left.

Song Zhizhi watched Jun Minghan’s retreating figure and then entered the prison.

Sitting in the sedan, Jun Minghan picked up his phone and dialed, “Mother, Ye Wenhan’s case is closed for now.”

“Good.”

“I just saw Song Zhizhi.”

“Oh?”

“I think I may have underestimated this woman.”

“Is that so?”

“She seems to know everything.”

“If Ji Baijian and Song Zhizhi are really as close as you say, it wouldn’t be surprising for her to know everything.” His mother replied indifferently on the other end.

“So we can ignore Song Zhizhi for now?”

“Not necessarily.” His mother smirked, “Arrange a meeting for me with Song Shan. I want to meet him in person.”

“You want to meet him in person?” Jun Minghan was surprised.

“Feed him a little sweetness, so he remains loyal to us!”

Jun Minghan smiled wickedly, “Yes, Mother!”

At that moment.

Walking into the detention center was Song Zhizhi, going to see Ye Wenhan.

The moment Ye Wenhan saw Song Zhizhi, his previously slightly calmer emotions instantly erupted, “Song Zhizhi, I want to strangle you!”

Song Zhizhi shifted to the side.

The prison guard restrained Ye Wenhan.

“Release me, release me!”

“I came to visit you out of goodwill, yet you treat me like this!”

“What goodwill? You’re just here to gloat over my downfall!” Ye Wenhan spat, anger flashing in his eyes.

“Well, there’s some truth to that.”

Ye Wenhan was so angry that he wanted to kill Song Zhizhi on the spot.

He was ready to die with her!

Song Zhizhi declared, “Ye Wenhan, if it weren’t for Qian Guanshu, you would have been finished a long time ago.”

“Shut up!”

“How can you be so foolish as to get rid of the most important person by your side, the one who could have protected you for life? There’s probably no one in the world more foolish than you…”

“Shut up, just shut up! I’ve never regretted anything I’ve done, never! He deserved to die, he always held me back, stifled my progress, he deserved to die!”

“So your end won’t be any better!”

“Enough, enough Song Zhizhi!” Ye Wenhan roared.

Song Zhizhi merely watched as Ye Wenhan’s emotions ran wild, completely unguarded.

It seemed that she really had hit a nerve, making Ye Wenhan lose control completely at that moment.

Song Zhizhi remarked, “Ye Wenhan, many acts of injustice cause the law of self-destruction; 20 years, or perhaps longer, reflect on it well inside prison.”

“Song Zhizhi!” Ye Wenhan shrieked her name, shrieking it with all his might.

Song Zhizhi paused just before she was about to leave.

Ye Wenhan stared directly at her, then after a moment’s silence declared, “Even if I turn into a ghost, I won’t let you go!”

Song Zhizhi smirked.

A cold smirk.

She then turned and left, completely unfazed by his threat.

Ye Wenhan watched Song Zhizhi’s retreating figure, her casual demeanor as she walked away.

What he actually wanted to ask her was, “Did you ever love me?”

The answer, however, was undoubtedly a never!

All he was doing now was inviting humiliation.

What he couldn’t understand even more was why everyone knew that Qian Guanshu was his only support while he knew nothing about it, and yet he actually killed Qian Guanshu, even doing so with gratification!

All his life, all his life, he was constantly reprimanded by his mother, asked to do this and that.

After his mother lost power, his father was just as controlling and just as demanding…

He had truly had enough.

Why should he always be subjected to such unfair treatment? Why should he, with both parents, not be allowed to grow up by their side? Now that he’s back by their side, they just kept making demands of him. Why must he endure all of this!

Now, having finally gained supreme power, he had ended up in such a pathetic state.

He couldn’t accept it.

He couldn’t accept the entirety of his life, this oppressive life…

While they were all people, why could Song Zhizhi do as she pleased? Why could Jun Minghan show off his power so ostentatiously? Why had he been reduced to such an ignominious state?

Was he truly more foolish than them?

Was he truly an idiot?!

No.

He wasn’t.

He was the one who could manipulate everything behind the scenes. He was the one most intelligent, most capable and most deserving of the world’s adoration!

He was…

Suddenly, he started laughing, laughing maniacally.

At that moment, it felt as if the world was his, everything belonged to him, and everyone had to bow down to him…

…

No one could have imagined.

Ye Wenhan had gone mad.

He went mad in prison.

Mad to the core.

According to the law of Yanshang Country, even if one is mentally deranged, the punishment they should receive is no less.

Ye Wenhan was found guilty with irrefutable evidence and sentenced to 22 years in a mental institution.

Song Zhizhi never visited him again, and didn’t know how severe his mental breakdown had turned out to be. However, a video about Ye Wenhan was accidentally leaked by a mental institution staff. In the video, Ye Wenhan would howl one moment, shrink back into a corner in fear the next, then call out for his parents, then declare his hatred for them…

In short.

He had truly gone mad, truly mad.

Song Zhizhi watched this video.

And she was tightly embraced from behind.

She shut off the video and leaned into the embrace behind her.

All in all.

The grudges from her past life had finally been paid in blood!
