Jiang Yu was stunned for a moment before he understood what she meant. He said angrily, "I won't allow it!"
"Dad is already dead. I can't implicate you anymore …" Jing Tong said as her tears fell again. "That's what dad meant too … If you lose the election, dad will … have died for nothing …"
Jiang Yu's arms suddenly tightened, and his breathing became heavier.
"No." His voice was unusually cold. "I don't agree. I've said it before. I won't be implicated by your father. Even if I don't do anything, I'll be the final winner! "
Logically speaking, Jing Zhiyuan was already gone. He used his death to leave a smooth path for Jing Tong. Besides, Jing Tong had agreed to it herself, so he should accept it calmly.
However, Jiang Yu knew that he couldn't do that. He couldn't let Jing Zhiyuan's death pave the way for him, even if it wasn't his intention. Besides, there was a great possibility that Jing Zhiyuan's death had something to do with his grandfather. If he agreed, how could he appear in front of Jing Tong in the future?
The man rarely spoke to her in such a tough tone.
Jing Tong's whole body trembled. She choked with sobs and couldn't speak, but her tears flowed even more fiercely.
The memory of that day was blurry to Jing Tong. When she recalled it later, she felt as if she was watching a movie, but she didn't know why she was also immersed in it. She was so sad in the movie that she couldn't control herself.
Jing Zhiyuan must have gotten his hands on the bottle of medicine the night before when he was taking a change of clothes. The next day, he swallowed the medicine with his breakfast and died without a sound. When the prison guards went to collect the utensils, they discovered that something was wrong. Then, they found two suicide notes in his cell.
The prison guard knew that Jing Zhiyuan's identity was special, so he didn't dare to make it public. He secretly told the warden, who was Jiang Yu's man. After reading Jing Zhiyuan's confession, he immediately called Jiang Yu. However, it didn't take long for the old man to receive the news, which was why Jiang Yu and Old Master Jiang had an argument on the phone.
When Jiang Yu and Jing Tong arrived, the warden immediately welcomed them to the cell where Jing Zhiyuan was.
"The forensic doctor has just finished the autopsy … In order to let Miss Jing see him for the last time, we haven't touched him for the time being."
Seeing the thin figure lying on the bed, Jing Tong trembled all over. She couldn't help but push Jiang Yu away, stumbled to the bedside, and knelt on the ground.
Jiang Yu tried to pick her up, but Jing Tong shook her head and refused. She leaned against the bed and saw her father's closed eyes and bruised lips. Finally, she burst into tears.
Just a few days ago, her father was still holding her hand and calling her "good girl", telling her to take good care of herself. She even promised her father that after she got married, she would bring him photos and videos … But now, he would never open his eyes again. Never again.
Back then, when something happened to her family, it wasn't that she didn't complain. She also thought countless times about how good it would have been if her father hadn't done those things. But now, there was only endless regret in her heart.
If she hadn't been so immature back then, perhaps her father wouldn't have taken the risk out of desperation.
If it wasn't to pave the way for her future, her father wouldn't have chosen to end his life in this way.
"Tongtong …" Jiang Yu hugged her from behind and said in a hoarse voice, "If you're so sad, your father's spirit in heaven will be worried …"
