Reincarnation: I Married My Ex’s Brother - Chapter 342

Chapter 342: Cry If You Feel Upset

The more Kang Hui cherished Tang Jiangyun in the past, the more he hated him.

Kang Hui sat on Tang Jiangyun’s body. He punched Tang Jiangyun’s face again and again. The sound of Kang Hui’s fists hitting Tang Jiangyun’s face could be heard in the courtyard. Tang Jiangyun could not help but let out painful groans.

The man’s iron fist was enough to deform Tang Jiangyun’s face.

Tang Jiangyun’s nose collapsed, and a part of his brow caved in. He screamed in pain, but he did not retaliate against Kang Hui. Instead, he profusely apologized. “I’m sorry, Ah Hui! I deserve to die. Kill me! Kill me!”

Tang Jiangyun was crying with snot and tears running down his face. Hearing his apology, Kang Hui felt disgusted and humiliated.

He got up from Tang Jiangyun’s body. “You want me to kill you?” Sneering, he said, “In your dreams. An animal like you should go to jail, serve your sentence, and be punished by the law!” He bent down and grabbed Tang Jiangyun’s collar, lifting him. Their faces were inches apart.

One had hatred in his eyes, while the other had guilt in his eyes.

Kang Hui sneered and laughed until his tears fell. “So many brothers died because of you! Their family members are waiting at the entrance of the police station now. It’s better to tell them your fake apologies! Go and apologize to Sister-in-law Huang yourself. See if she accepts your apology!”

Tang Jiangyun’s eyes turned dejected and desperate. This man who had always been expressionless and silent suddenly burst into tears. Perhaps, it was because he was in pain, or perhaps, it was because he felt remorse. Whatever it was, he sorrowfully cried and angrily roared, “What can I do!

“What can I do!

“I have money, a car, and a house. I don’t lack anything. Why should I collude with them?” Tang Jiangyun was like a dead fish. He rolled his eyes as he looked at the grape trellis above him. Suddenly, he stopped roaring and venting his anger. His crying became suppressed.

He whimpered softly with a pained expression on his face. “They’ve captured Kemiao…”

Kemiao was Tang Jiangyun’s only relative and the only orphan left behind by his elder brother.

Tang Jiangyun’s elder brother used to be a special forces soldier who had died in a border mission. He had left behind a wife and a child. When the child was six years old, Tang Jiangyun’s sister-in-law had found another man she could rely on and married him. Then, she moved overseas.

Tang Jiangyun had helped his elder brother take care of his niece, Kemiao. As he treasured this girl very much, Zhang Yang would often tease him and say that he was Miao Miao’s slave. After that, he simply called Tang Jiangyun “Miao Miao.”

Miao Miao was only sixteen this year and had just entered high school.

Kang Hui’s pupils constricted, and he hurriedly asked, “What’s wrong with Kemiao?”

“Over the years, Captain Huang’s methods have been ruthless. He has punished many drug dealers and destroyed the interests of everyone in Binjiang City’s dark city. They want to take down Captain Huang, but the people in our team are all of one mind. The ones in the dark can’t place any spies at all. They keep testing each and every one of us. You should have experienced this before, right?”

Kang Hui unconsciously let go of Tang Jiangyun’s collar.

Tang Jiangyun fell to the ground. His entire body was in intense pain, but it was as if he could not feel any of that.

Kang Hui didn’t say anything. In the past two years, almost everyone in the team had been tempted by those people. If it weren’t for their strong willpower, someone might have fallen for it. He had also been tempted. He asked, “What does that have to do with Kemiao?”

Tang Jiangyun covered his face with his hands. He was in pain, but not of the physical kind; it was emotional.

“That bunch of animals! They fed Miao Miao new drugs that have never been seen before!” Tang Jiangyun was resentful and indignant. He was unwilling to accept it, but Miao Miao was the only family he had. There was no antidote on the market for new drugs, and only those people had it. He had no choice but to do as they said.

“Ah Hui, you don’t know the pain I’m in! During these two years, I’m constantly living in fear. During every mission, I’m always in pain. I don’t want to betray you, but I don’t want my only relative to die. I’m sorry. Ah Hui, I’m sorry! I’m a bastard and I deserve to die…”

Tang Jiangyun got up angrily and pounced on Kang Hui. When Kang Hui wasn’t paying attention, he snatched the gun from his waist.

Kang Hui thought that Tang Jiangyun was going to attack him and wanted to retaliate. However, he saw Tang Jiangyun pointing the gun at his temple.

Tang Jiangyun was about to pull the trigger.

Kang Hui quickly kicked Tang Jiangyun’s hand and accurately hit his wrist.

Tang Jiangyun’s hand trembled, and the gun went off course. The bullet brushed past his forehead and shot the grapevine beside him.

Bam!

The gun fell to the ground.

Kang Hui quickly took a step forward and handcuffed Tang Jiangyun.

“You want to die so that you can end everything?” Kang Hui sneered. His eyes turned red as he looked into Tang Jiangyun’s bloodshot eyes. “You don’t have the right!”

Kang Hui brought Tang Jiangyun to the hospital.

Due to the explosion, both Dong Rui and Gao Xu were disabled and were sent to the hospital. Although they managed to stay alive, their broken limbs could not be reattached. When Kang Hui arrived at the hospital, the two had just finished their surgeries. They were in the same ward.

Both of them looked up at the ceiling with heavy hearts, not saying a word.

Family members, colleagues, and leaders surrounded the ward.

They were asking about their well-being, but these two people had sorrowful expressions.

The brothers who fought together had died or gotten crippled. They felt bitter and hateful.

When these people saw that both of them were in a bad mood, they looked at each other and gently left the room. The family members wiped their tears as they walked out of the ward, and stood in the corridor. They hugged each other and cried.

When Kang Hui brought Tang Jiangyun to the hospital, the nurses invited them to the waiting room.

Gao Xu and Dong Rui did not turn around when they heard the door open. They only thought that it was a nurse or friend from the hospital.

“Ah Xu, Dong Rui,” Kang Hui said, breaking the silence.

Gao Xu and Dong Rui turned to look at the gate at the same time.

Upon seeing Kang Hui, the two of them simultaneously let out a sorrowful cry. “Ah Hui, they’re dead!” After they shouted, their eyes turned red.

As a man, Kang Hui almost cried on the spot.

He took a deep breath to hold back his tears, then brought Tang Jiangyun out from behind the door. Upon seeing Tang Jiangyun, both Gao Xu and Dong Rui became furious.

Dong Rui was a man of few words. When he saw Tang Jiangyun, he was filled with hatred. He opened his mouth and trembled for a long time. Finally, he gritted his teeth and cursed, “Bastard! Bastard!”

“F*ck you! Get out! I feel disgusted whenever I see you!” Gao Xu was different. He had a good relationship with Tang Jiangyun. When he found out that Tang Jiangyun was the spy, he could not believe it.

He had forced himself to accept this fact only after Qi Bufan had pulled him out of the water and he lay on the deck, realizing that he was still alive.

In the face of Dong Rui’s and Gao Xu’s anger, Tang Jiangyun did not explain anything. He lowered his head, and large drops of tears fell onto the floor of the ward.

“You’re too fucking shameless to cry!”

“You’re the reason why Captain Huang and the rest are dead. You dog, what right do you have to cry! Ah! Scram! Scram!”

Gao Xu kept scolding Tang Jiangyun. When he saw that Tang Jiangyun was still rooted to the ground and crying hypocritically, he got furious. Ignoring the injuries on his body, he struggled to pick up a bottle of mineral water from the bedside table with his intact right hand and threw it at Tang Jiangyun.

Bang!

The bottle of water firmly hit Tang Jiangyun’s head.

Tang Jiangyun raised his eyebrows when he got hit, but he remained silent.

Kang Hui then said, “Rest well, especially you, Ah Xu.”

After that, Kang Hui brought Tang Jiangyun to the basement.

The lower floor of the medical technology building was a mortuary. There was an elevator that went straight down to it.

As the two of them stood in the elevator, Kang Hui saw Tang Jiangyun’s legs trembling.

Kang Hui looked indifferent.

On the lower floor, there was a wide metal door with a piece of paper. Written on the paper were the words “Diplomacy.” Kang Hui showed his identification card, and the staff member opened the door. Kang Hui dragged Tang Jiangyun inside and walked to an independent room. Tang Jiangyun opened the door.

It was filled with freezer boxes.

Kang Hui walked in and silently opened five freezers.

A person was lying in every freezer.

Some of the corpses were blurry and had broken arms and legs, while others simply only had a section of their bodies.

Tang Jiangyun was shocked when he saw his former colleagues reduced to such miserable states. He sat on the cold ground in fear. Kang Hui pulled him up by the back of his neck and pushed him to the freezers.

Kang Hui pointed at the row of freezers in front of him and said to Tang Jiangyun, “Open your eyes and take a look. These are all your brothers! You’ve eaten the food they brought, you’ve smoked the cigarettes they handed you! You’ve laughed together, you’ve killed your enemies together, you’ve sung ‘Eternal Best Brothers’ together…”

Kang Hui took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his heart.

Tang Jiangyun was sobbing uncontrollably.

Kang Hui also rubbed his eyes. He said, “We didn’t find Captain Huang’s body. They said that when Captain Huang was blown up completely with the ship… They were both gone.” Kang Hui felt a lump in his throat, and his eyes turned red again.

He could not say another word; he just kicked the ground with the tip of his foot. Kang Hui left Tang Jiangyun behind and ran out of the mortuary alone. In the corridor, he squatted and covered his face as he cried.

In the mortuary, Tang Jiangyun sat on the ground and broke down into tears.

***

After leaving Binjiang River, Wei Shuyi drove straight to the Public Security Bureau.

He visited it late at night and realized that the atmosphere in the police station was especially low.

When Wei Shuyi reached the Narcotics Department Office, his footsteps unconsciously became heavy.

The entire office was silent.

Everyone sat behind their desk with their head down and their hands covering their face. Some of them couldn’t help but cry. Some of the older men bit their hands with their mouths, not daring to cry.

Jiaren Wu sat on her chair in a daze, her eyes staring at the computer screen. Her pupils didn’t even blink. She didn’t even notice Wei Shuyi’s arrival.

Wei Shuyi’s heart ached as he gently pressed Jiaren Wu into his embrace.

“Jiaren, don’t hold it in. If you feel uncomfortable, just cry.”

Jiaren Wu leaned against his chest with a stupefied expression. She maintained that posture for a long time.

It wasn’t until Wei Shuyi’s body temperature gradually spread throughout her body that Jiaren Wu felt a warmth that she hadn’t felt in a long time. Her curled eyelashes trembled slightly, and she slowly raised her arms to hug Wei Shuyi. Wei Shuyi lowered his head to look at her; he saw her tearful face.

Wei Shuyi’s heart clenched into a ball as he held Jiaren Wu even tighter.

The cruise explosion incident made the headlines of the Binjiang Daily News the next morning. It was also broadcasted on the morning news.

This time, Binjiang City’s Public Security Bureau had suffered heavy losses.

Six people had died, and two were seriously injured. This was an unprecedented tragedy.

After this matter became known, it became a hot topic in the country. The General Administration personally held a meeting regarding this matter and issued a harsh denouncement against the rampant drug lords. The next afternoon, a new narcotics captain took over. Binjiang City and even the entire country were undergoing a month-long strict investigation of drug trafficking and drug abuse activities.

There was no time for Jiaren Wu, Kang Hui, and the others to feel sorrow. Many drug dealers were waiting for these police officers to catch them, and there were so many drug-addicted people they had to find.

For more than a month, they worked overtime.

During this period, they only rested for a day.

That day was Huang Junsheng’s funeral.

The six brothers of the unit were buried on the same day. All their bodies were cremated and sent to the same funeral home. The remains of Huang Junsheng were not found in the end. His eight-year-old son carried his photo. His wife carried his urn, which contained not human ashes but white ash from his police uniform.

That day, Binjiang City seemed to be less noisy than before.

The coffin car drove all the way to the tower of ashes. On the way, many citizens who had read the news about Huang Junsheng and the others couldn’t help but rub their eyes. On this day, Wei Shuyi skipped work for some time. He stood by the roadside and watched the car that sent the people to their graves pass through the streets.

As for the criminal Tang Jiangyun, he was arrested and eventually expelled from the police. He was stripped of his political rights for life and was sentenced to death immediately. After the Supreme Court’s dean signed the execution order, he would be executed with a gun seven days later.

The execution by gunshot was quick while the same by an injection was slow. To Tang Jiangyun, an execution by gunshot was already mercy.

After he was arrested, he revealed several people he had met before.

Those people were also caught and sentenced.

However, the Boss who was hiding behind did not reveal his foxtail.

Tang Jiangyun was temporarily imprisoned in the Hui City prison in Binjiang City. This prison had imprisoned many important criminals in many countries. Those who were imprisoned inside it were extremely vicious people.

Zhang Yang parked his car at the entrance of the prison. He raised his head and looked at the luxurious prison, which resembled a tourist attraction. However, he felt depressed. He stopped at the entrance for more than ten minutes before walking in.

“I’m here to visit someone.”

“Who are you looking for?”

After a moment of silence, Zhang Yang answered, “Tang Jiangyun.”
