After Miss Zhan became Mrs. Zhan

Chapter 122 Tragedy



Chapter 122 Tragedy

"Sister-in-law, do you still need me to interpret books for you?"

Zhan Ruoyin looked at Li Jingyan coldly, frowned and said, "Let me find out the truth before I tell you."

Li Jingyan raised his eyes and looked at Zhan Ruoyin carefully: "Do you need my help?"

Zhan Ruoyin's eyes moved from Li Jingyan's face to his legs and asked, "Your legs are not injured, but you have been sitting in a wheelchair, which makes it difficult for you to move. You need to be taken care of all the time. It's good enough that you don't cause me any trouble."

After saying that, Zhan Ruoyin left the study, leaving Li Jingyan alone there, watching Zhan Ruoyin leave quietly.

Zhan Ruoyin returned to the side room, and Fan Mingyang hurried over, saying with a serious face:

"Madam, there is already some clue."

Zhan Ruoyin raised her eyebrows in shock: "You found out so quickly? Did someone poison you?"

Fan Mingyang's expression became uglier than before. He paused, then knelt directly in front of Zhan Ruoyin and took all the responsibilities upon himself:

"Please forgive me, Madam. It was all my fault for being careless. That's why I didn't notice the problem. If you want to punish me, please punish me."

Zhan Ruoyin was confused for a moment and asked in a daze: "What do you mean? What does this have to do with you? Did you poison him?"

Fan Mingyang quickly shook his head and hesitated for a while before explaining:

"I know that the area behind the villa is a forbidden area. Without the order of Madam and the Fourth Master, no one can go to the rain forest behind for any reason. It was also because I did not explain clearly that Xiao Li and Xiao Chen went to the jungle, picked fruits in the jungle, and shared them with the brothers after returning. I thought they took the fruits prepared by Butler Qian, and did not ask any more questions. Who knew that an accident would happen."

"Xiao Li and Xiao Chen knew that the fruit was the cause of the trouble, but they dared not admit it because they were afraid that the Madam would punish them, which is why the situation has developed to this point."

Zhan Ruoyin's face was gloomy. It turned out that it was not Li Jingyan who did it. She had wrongly blamed Li Jingyan.

"What about Xiao Li and Xiao Chen? If you do something wrong, you should have the courage to bear the consequences. Although you are their captain, you have been kept in the dark by them. I will not let you take the blame. This incident has caused a sensation in the Li family and has caused a lot of impact. How can I convince the public if I don't punish them?"

Seeing his wife's tough attitude, Fan Mingyang did not dare to say anything and led Zhan Ruoyin to their room. They took the medicine and were in much better condition. Naturally, they recognized his wife. Feeling that their careers were in jeopardy, they got up from the bed, knelt in front of Zhan Ruoyin with a snap, and begged for mercy:

"Ma'am, we know we were wrong. Please don't let us leave Team A. We really didn't know we couldn't enter the jungle. Captain Fan didn't explain it clearly. We definitely didn't know it was a taboo. We really know we were wrong. Since this is our first time making a mistake, please forgive us this time."

Zhan Ruoyin was both angry and amused when she heard this: "You said it as if everything was Captain Fan's fault. You were greedy and picked poisonous fruits. When something happened, you blamed Captain Fan for not explaining it to you clearly. Did he let you into the forbidden area? Did he let you pick the fruits? I actually have such a person around me who can't tell right from wrong. It seems there is no need to stay in the Li family. You two can get out now."

Fan Mingyang looked at the two men sadly. He took the initiative to take responsibility because they were young and ignorant, but that didn't mean they could take the initiative to blame him for the mistakes. What's the difference between that and being ungrateful?

Fortunately, his wife was wise and fair, otherwise he would not be able to escape the blame.

When the two heard Zhan Ruoyin's words, they wanted to die. The two grown men burst into tears. They were seriously dismissed by the Li family. How could they survive in the bodyguard industry in the future? They had offended the lady, so who would dare to hire them?

"Madam, please let us go, we really know we are wrong!"

Zhan Ruoyin said coldly: "People around me are not allowed to make a single mistake. If you can't do it, there are people who are better than you who can do it."

Fan Mingyang called a few bodyguards, dragged the two men away, locked them in the room, and did not allow them to come out at all. As soon as the plane sent by Butler Han arrived, they were immediately taken back and left.

Butler Qian only found out about this incident after he had finished cooking and was delivering the meal to them. He immediately took out the specially prepared medicine from the villa's medicine box. He was meticulous and thoughtful, and he had expected that he might need it in the future. Who knew it would really come in handy.

The bodyguards took medicine and ate food, and their condition improved and they gradually returned to normal.

Zhan Ruoyin heaved a sigh of relief and returned to the study, only to find Li Jingyan still standing there, motionless.

Zhan Ruoyin frowned and said, "What's wrong with you? Why can't you move even a step? Are you sick too?"

Li Jingyan slowly withdrew his thoughts after hearing Zhan Ruoyin's voice, and a gentle look flashed across his eyes: "Sister-in-law, have you solved the problem? What did they say? Is there really someone sneaking into the island, waiting for an opportunity to act?"

Zhan Ruoyin walked around Li Jingyan and went to the desk. She poured herself a cup of hot tea and took a few sips before saying, "They ate a few poisonous fruits, but the offenders are still stubborn and trying to shift the blame onto others. I've asked them to get out."

Li Jingyan nodded, turned his wheelchair, came to the opposite side of Zhan Ruoyin, took out the book, and said to Zhan Ruoyin: "Since the matter has been resolved, sister-in-law, can you listen to my translation?"

Zhan Ruoyin sat down in the office chair and nodded seriously. Li Jingyan then vividly described the fishermen's reasons and process for committing the crime.

The fisherman was diligent and simple, and was well-known as an honest man on the island. He was very capable. In order to let his wife and children live a rich life, he went to work in Boxi Town for five years. He suffered and was exhausted every day, but when he thought of his wife and children on the island, he was full of strength again.

When the fisherman went to see his wife and children with a good salary and delicious food, he returned to the island to find that times had changed. His wife and children had become playthings of the islanders, and the onlookers not only did not stop it, but participated in it.

One day after working for five years, the fisherman saw his wife again, only to find that she was unconscious, emitting a foul smell, her lower body and body were eroded, and her two eight-year-old children, a boy and a girl, were also violated. The people on the island were no different from a group of demons.

The instigator turned out to be the fisherman's own brother. He forcibly took possession of his sister-in-law and gave his nephews and nieces to prestigious and powerful people on the island in order to silence the gossips. Even the island chief with high moral character did this. Naturally, the islanders swarmed over and tortured the mother and her two children, and even treated them as commodities for sale and exchange.

The fisherman loved his wife and children dearly and could not bear to see them suffer in this world, so he poisoned them with a toxin extracted from wild fruits, giving them eternal relief.

The fisherman forced himself to smile and pretended to be stupid and honest, but in fact he had been planning for half a month and killed all the islanders. He then committed suicide in front of the graves of his wife and children. After that, the island became a deserted ghost island. It is said that when night falls, the moon will turn blood red, and wherever the moonlight shines, there will be the sound of ghosts crying, the sound is miserable and sad.

It's chilling and makes people want to escape from this haunted island.

The detailed process of the crime and the fishermen's strategy of taking advantage of the right time, right place and right people are totally unlike what an illiterate fisherman could come up with, but all of this is true. The fishermen's wisdom and calmness are beyond imagination.

Love can really make a person break through his limits.

When translating the process of the crime, Li Jingyan's gentle voice stopped, and the one hour time was up.

Zhan Ruoyin's eyes were red and wet, and she felt indescribable sadness in her heart.

"It's really tragic. I think the fishermen did the right thing. The people on the island really deserve to die. They just stood by and watched. No one stopped it. Instead, they just joined in the fun."

Li Jingyan stared at Zhan Ruoyin carefully, his dim eyes revealing caution and sadness. He tentatively said, "The story begins with the fisherman's brother having evil intentions towards his sister-in-law. If the brother had not done so, the tragedy would not have happened."

Zhan Ruoyin disagreed with his point of view. "Wrong, the younger brother was just the fuse. Without the younger brother, there would be others. The atmosphere on the island is dirty and corrupt, and the islanders have dirty thoughts. A beautiful and gentle woman takes care of the children at home while her husband is away from home all year round. This is very tempting to the islanders whose animal nature is greater than human nature. The core of tragedy is often to condemn a group of people, not the individual himself."

After listening to this, Li Jingyan clenched his fists and stared at Zhan Ruoyin in a daze.

So, he alone wouldn't cause a tragedy, right?
