Reincarnation: I Married My Ex’s Brother - Chapter 310

Chapter 310: You’re Finished

The pregnant woman looked haggard and sallow.

She was both a drug dealer and a drug addict.

Jiaren Wu’s gaze fell on the woman’s abdomen, and her heart ached. For a child like this, even if he didn’t get deformed in the woman’s stomach, he would be affected by the drugs. Even if he could be treated, he would suffer a lot.

This woman had been caught dealing drugs, yet she was completely unrepentant. She asked Jiaren Wu with a faint smile, “It’s already New Year’s Eve. Why are you still at work?” When she spoke, the smile on her face was exceptionally piercing.

That look made Jiaren Wu deeply frown.

This woman was a mother, but she did not show the love that a mother should have.

Jiaren Wu felt pity for the child in her womb.

However, she knew that it was useless to talk about maternal love with such a person.

First, there was a high chance that the child would come out deformed. Second, even if the child came out healthy, the woman might not be able to provide for him. She might throw the child away or give it away.

In short, for people like them, children were tools to avoid death and heavy sentences after committing a crime.

As Jiaren Wu stared at the smile on the woman’s face, her unrepentant look made her feel disgusted. Taking a deep breath, she said, “If you could see your child crying miserably after the drugs kicked in, would your heart ache?”

The woman’s smile froze, but she said nothing.

Jiaren Wu continued, “The police found more than 150 grams of heroin under the floor of your bedroom. You know, drug trafficking of heroin can lead to a sentence of 15 years in prison if it exceeds 50 grams.”

The woman opposite her was initially fearless. But after hearing this, her expression changed. She replied, “I’m pregnant.”

Jiaren Wu scoffed.

“So what if you’re pregnant?” She scornfully looked at the pregnant woman and continued, “Did the person who told you to deal drugs tell you that if you’re pregnant, the judge will sentence you lightly for dealing drugs? You’ll only be in jail for a few years at most?”

The woman was stunned and suspiciously asked, “Isn’t it true?”

“You’ll be sentenced to at least fifteen years in your condition. You didn’t hear wrongly. At least fifteen years.” Noticing the paleness on the woman’s sallow face, Jiaren Wu coldly sneered in her heart. She continued, “You’re six to seven months pregnant, right?”

“Six months.”

Jiaren Wu said, “When your child is born and when the lactation period ends, you will be imprisoned.”

The woman was stunned.

She was not well-read, nor did she understand the law. She had heard that pregnant women were given light sentences for drug trafficking, so she had felt she had nothing to fear. Raising her head, she carefully looked at Jiaren Wu’s face. When she realized that the police officer looked calm and did not seem to be lying to her, she panicked.

“I, I…” She had just started to speak a few times when her expression became anxious. She started to fidget, and her eyes started to turn red. Her hands that were placed on the table started to tremble.

The woman’s trembling body gradually became deranged. She suddenly shouted at Jiaren Wu, “Give it to me! Give me the drugs!”

Jiaren Wu got up and left the interrogation room.

She stood outside the door and watched as the woman curled up on the floor, crying and throwing a tantrum with an expressionless face. Kang Hui walked over to her and stood side by side with Jiaren Wu. He looked at the woman whose drug addiction had acted up, his eyes filled with disgust.

In the interrogation room, he could only hear the woman’s pleading cries.

Kang Hui suddenly said, “I actually don’t dare to get married.”

“Huh?” Jiaren Wu turned her head and looked at Kang Hui in astonishment. In her eyes, her senior brother was a bold and upright person. Yet, he was afraid of marriage.

“Are you really afraid of marriage?” she asked.

Kang Hui shook his head.

Jiaren Wu didn’t press further.

After more than ten minutes, the woman inside the room finally collapsed and weakly sat on the ground.

At this moment, Jiaren Wu heard Kang Hui say, “You’ve heard of Liu Chang, right?”

Jiaren Wu nodded. “I’ve heard of him. He used to be our team’s colleague. Before I came, he had resigned.”

“Do you know why he resigned?”

Jiaren Wu shook her head.

Kang Hui explained, “Liu Chang hates drug traffickers and drug addicts. He had been a police officer for so many years and solved countless drug trafficking cases. He’s an elite in our police station and someone I admire very much. Liu Chang got married three years ago. His wife was a very beautiful ballerina.

“His wife loved him and cared about him very much. Liu Chang often went to the police station to arrest criminals, not returning home for an entire week. However, not only did his wife not complain, but she also sent food to the police station every day. Whenever Liu Chang would return, he could even eat a mouthful of hot rice, take a shower, change his clothes, and go to the police station again. During that time, Liu Chang was the happiest person in our Public Security Bureau.”

Knowing that the rest of the story would be painful, Jiaren Wu remained silent and listened to Kang Hui.

Kang Hui recalled Liu Chang’s blissful days and smiled. “When he saw me back then, he told me, ‘Ah Hui, find a wife soon. Someone will understand you and know you well. Only then will you understand how good it is to have a family.’”

Suddenly, Kang Hui seemed to have thought of something sad and tragic. The smile on his face instantly disappeared, and the expression in his eyes was replaced by sorrow and regret. He shook his head and said, “People in our line of work are always easily targeted. Liu Chang caused a lot of trouble for many people, and who knows how many people targeted him. He was tense for a period. Who knows how much tense he was?”

Kang Hui continued, “Every time he drank water, he had to wash the cup a few times. Other than the water from our bureau, he didn’t drink water from any other place. He never went out to play or ate anything on the street. Even so, no matter how many precautions he took, he still couldn’t prevent the enemy’s revenge.”

Jiaren Wu asked, “What went wrong? Did he get drugged?”

Kang Hui’s expression became full of pain and sadness. He said, “Retribution didn’t happen to Liu Chang, but his wife.”

Jiaren Wu was stunned. “They held his wife hostage?”

“No,” Kang Hui said after shaking his head, “They poisoned her.”

Jiaren Wu was a little shocked. A narcotics policeman’s wife had been poisoned. This…

“His wife…”

Knowing what Jiaren Wu was thinking, Kang Hui shook his head and said, “She didn’t touch the drugs on her own accord. She got into it her body passively. Someone poisoned the water she drank. By the time she and Liu Chang discovered this, she had become addicted.

“Liu Chang sent her to a drug rehabilitation center, but she couldn’t recover. The drug that Sister-in-law was infected with was not ordinary heroin or marijuana, but a new type of drug that was rarely seen on the market. That drug would infect the blood of the drug user and slowly consume their life. There was no way to treat it.

“In the end, to implicate Liu Chang, Sister-in-law…” Kang Hui’s eyes turned a little red. He softly said, ” She committed suicide by taking sleeping pills. ”

Wu Jiacheng’s face flashed across Jiaren Wu’s mind.

“Her death dealt a fatal blow to Liu Chang. After that, when Liu Chang saw a drug dealer once, he almost beat him to death. If I hadn’t stopped him in time, he would’ve been sent to prison. Liu Cheng had then realized that he had lost the right to be a police officer, so he had resigned.”

“So what’s he doing now?”

“He’s still fighting criminals, but he’s no longer a police officer.”

Jiaren Wu couldn’t help but sigh.

“It really isn’t easy.”

“Yeah.”

Kang Hui glanced at the panting woman in the interrogation room and said, “That’s why I’m afraid of getting married. I’m afraid I will implicate my wife and children.”

The more he dealt with drugs, the more he knew how dangerous they were.

Once you take a drug, you will not be sober for life.

That one time was enough to destroy the person involved and their family.

At this moment, two headlights shone on the glass window outside the Public Security Bureau. Jiaren Wu walked over and looked down. She was surprised to see a familiar car.

Kang Hui also looked down. Upon seeing Jiaren Wu’s reaction, he immediately understood.

“Yeah.”

Jiaren Wu went downstairs and bumped into Wei Shuyi in the main hall.

Wei Shuyi was holding many things in his hands. There were cosmetics that Jiaren Wu had wanted and a few food boxes.

Jiaren Wu gave Wei Shuyi a charming smile. She stood in the middle of the hall and blocked his path. Then, she asked, “Brother Wei, it’s the New Year tonight. Are you here to accompany me?”

Wei Shuyi rolled his eyes at her.

He raised his left hand and handed the huge bag of skincare products to Jiaren Wu, saying, “I’m here to give you your stuff. Everything you wanted is inside.”

Jiaren Wu took the bag but didn’t look at it. She just deeply smiled at Wei Shuyi’s face and meaningfully said, “Wei Shuyi, you’re finished. You’re going to fall in love with me.” On this special night, he had come to see her. Whether he was here to give her something or for some other purpose, Jiaren Wu knew very well.

Wei Shuyi sneered. “Thick-skinned.”

Jiaren Wu was still smiling.

Some people were just slow-witted, but their slow-witted appearance was quite cute.

She looked at the food box in Wei Shuyi’s right hand and said, “I didn’t ask you to bring me food from Sanya.”

Wei Shuyi didn’t hold back and replied, “Who said this is for you?”

“Oh?” Jiaren Wu’s eyes narrowed a bit dangerously as if she were a little lioness that only wanted to show off. “Who is it for?”

Wei Shuyi saw Kang Hui behind her and said, “Officer Kang Hui, who has to work overtime on New Year’s Eve.”

Kang Hui was flattered.

Jiaren Wu chuckled and said to Wei Shuyi, “You’re finished.”

They ate in the small room outside the interrogation room.

Opening the food box, Jiaren Wu saw dumplings, braised pork trotters, red braised pork, rice cakes, and a plate of vegetables. Moreover, there were two apples in the bag.

Jiaren Wu picked up an apple and said to Wei Shuyi, “My colleague can’t finish two apples. Give me this one.”

Wei Shuyi nodded.

Kang Hui found it funny. He knew who Wei Shuyi was here to deliver food to.

Jiaren Wu had just taken a bite of the apple when Wei Shuyi looked at her. He suddenly said, “Eat an apple during the New Year and be safe in the coming year.”

Jiaren Wu’s gaze became complicated when she heard this.

She quickly handed the other apple to Kang Hui and said, “Eat it.”

Perhaps, it was because they had just had a serious conversation not too long ago, the two of them fully consumed the apples.

After eating the apples, Kang Hui and Jiaren Wu lowered their heads to continue eating their meal. Kang Hui only ate one dumpling and said, “This dumpling tastes good and has thin skin. Mr. Wei, did you make it yourself or did you buy it?”

Jiaren Wu also looked up at Wei Shuyi.

Wei Shuyi unnaturally said, “I wrapped it myself.” Seeing the smile in Jiaren Wu’s eyes, he added, “I accidentally made extra.”

“Mr. Wei’s cooking skills are not bad.” Kang Hui did not expose Wei Shuyi’s lie.

Jiaren Wu’s eyes were filled with joy.

She stared at Wei Shuyi before lowering her head to continue eating.

While they were eating, Wei Shuyi walked out of the interrogation room. He saw the pregnant woman inside and instantly frowned. People nowadays are getting more and more shameless.

After dinner, it was almost the new year.

The food box was disposable, so there was no need to wash it. Jiaren Wu looked at the time and realized that it was already 11: 50 pm. She turned around and asked Wei Shuyi, who was playing games on the chair, “Why are you still here?”

Wei Shuyi put his phone into his pocket, stood up, and said, “Then I’m leaving.”

Seeing that he was really about to leave, Jiaren Wu said, “Wait a minute! I have something to tell you. I still have some matters to attend to. Wait a few minutes.”

Wei Shuyi was confused. “What is it?”

“I can’t explain it in such a short time.” After saying that, Jiaren Wu lowered her head and typed on the keyboard, looking very busy.

After a few minutes, the host of the Spring Festival Gala on television started counting down.

Jiaren Wu seemed to have finished her work. She stood up and walked toward Wei Shuyi.

Seeing her walk over, Wei Shuyi put away his phone and stood up as well. “What do you want to tell me?” He looked confused. At this moment, he heard the sound of the host counting down from three to two.
