Chapter 935: Death Solved Everything in One Stroke
Zhang Jiasen had committed suicide. When Ning Shu found out about this news, she was taken aback. By the time she rushed to the detention center, Zhang Jiasen was already lifeless and being carried out with a white cloth covering his corpse.
The entire Zhang family was in mourning. When they saw Ning Shu, Zhang Jiasen’s mother threw herself towards Ning Shu. Ning Shu quickly dodged.
“You black-hearted woman! You drove your own man to death!” Zhang Jiasen’s mother pointed as Ning Shu as she started cursing, her face filled with pain and hatred. “Ever since he married you, the Zhang family has been experiencing all sorts of calamities. You’re a bearer of ill luck! Now you’ve even caused Zhang Jiasen to die! Why weren’t you the one that died!?”
Ning Shu replied calmly, “I’ve already gotten divorced with him. Zhang Jiasen no longer has anything to do with me.”
The entire Zhang family was stunned. Zhang Jiasen’s father’s back seemed to become more crooked. His gaze was filled with vicious resentment as he glared at Ning Shu. The son he had been intensely proud of was gone. “You are truly the most malicious and disgraceful woman that I’ve ever seen. You got divorced with Jiasen the moment he fell into dire straits, and now you’ve even driven him to death.”
Ning Shu wasn’t concerned about Zhang Jiasen’s father’s words. Could it be that she should just be a pushover that anyone could take advantage of? That she should allow people to hurt and kill her family? How did protecting her own things translate to being disgraceful?
“I wasn’t the one that drove Zhang Jiasen to die, it was you guys.” Ning Shu paid no attention to the Zhang family.
Zhang Jiasen’s father, the steerer of this family, held half the responsibility for Zhang Jiasen getting to this point.
Ning Shu watched as Zhang Jiasen’s corpse was carried onto the crematorium car. The Zhang family glanced at Ning Shu one last time, then got on the car as well.
The current Zhang family looked as if their backbone had been taken away. Even when they faced Ning Shu, they didn’t have the same confidence as before. The timidness that came from their very bones was now revealed. In the past, no matter what happened, there was Zhang Jiasen there in front of them to help them, but now Zhang Jiasen was dead. There was no one else they could rely on in this city.
Zhang Jiasen didn’t have to just fly up himself, he had to drag the entire Zhang family up with him.
Ning Shu entered the detention center to ask how Zhang Jiasen died.
The guard said that Zhang Jiasen had directly stabbed his own throat with the shaft of a toothbrush. The plastic toothbrush had been ground until its end was very sharp. From the looks of it, he had planned this for quite a while.
When Ning Shu heard this, she swallowed hard. How did he bring himself to do it?
From her perspective, Zhang Jiasen was someone with very deep schemes. He definitely wasn’t someone that would easily seek death.
Perhaps Zhang Jiasen was tired and wanted to get free from the responsibilities he was shackled with, or perhaps the near two decades jail sentence made him fall into despair. His life was already ruined.
Ning Shu recalled what Zhang Jiasen said earlier. With him gone, Miao Miaomiao would be happy. So then, he committed suicide?
Ning Shu shook her head. Zhang Jiasen wasn’t the type to sacrifice everything for the sake of another person. Perhaps Miao Miaomiao was just one factor.
Ning Shu didn’t really have any feelings regarding Zhang Jiasen’s suicide. Every event has a cause. Zhang Jiasen had caused the deaths of the original host’s entire family. Right now, Zhang Jiasen was simply paying for his crimes.
Moreover, he had died just like this. Ning Shu felt that living, living while suffering was the greatest torment for a person. Constantly suffering in regrets was the most painful.
Death solved everything in one stroke.
Death wasn’t scary, it was living while facing a painful life that was scary.
Ning Shu had wanted to make Zhang Jiasen stay in jail for a full eighteen years. Once he got out, he would already be around fifty and would have to struggle to survive. However, unexpectedly he had died just like this.
It was clear that Zhang Jiasen had also been aware of what his fate would be like.
The Zhang family brought Zhang Jiasen’s ashes to the company doors to cause a ruckus. They said that she had driven him to death.
She drove him to death?
Ning Shu didn’t bother to speak to Zhang Jiasen’s mother who was spewing curses, and just turned towards Zhang Jiasen’s father whose back was stooped with age. “Zhang Jiasen and I are already divorced, and I know that Zhang Jiasen had given you guys quite a lot of money. If you guys insist on continuing to make such a ruckus, I’ll be calling the police so that the court can re-evaluate the amount of money that Zhang Jiasen had embezzled. Forget trying to get money from me, whether you guys will be able to even keep the money currently in your grasp is a question.”
Zhang Jiasen’s father pressed his lips together as he looked at Ning Shu, but in the end, he left. They would head back to the countryside. It was time to bury Zhang Jiasen after all.
