Chapter 1119: It Might Not Have Been a Suicide

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

If there had been a police report, the police station would have a case record, and everything could be verified. There would be no room for Jiang Yao to fabricate his story.

Jiang Yao said, "I didn’t dare report it. At the time, I honestly thought I had killed her. I was scared—murderers pay the price with their lives. I was planning to run, but maybe someone heard the commotion and called the cops. Before I could even leave, the police were already at my door. It was only because they arrived that I felt a little relieved. They investigated and found that my wife didn’t die from the beating. She had taken her own life... and it was a double tragedy—she was pregnant with my child. I’m a bastard. At that point, I even thought it was because she had gotten pregnant with that other man’s child.

"The police left, and I even cursed her, thinking she killed herself out of fear that I’d find out what she’d done. Or maybe she did it because she was afraid of the shame it would bring to her family—her younger sister still hadn’t married, and I thought she couldn’t bear the embarrassment. I thought she’d died from shame. That was until about half a month ago when I went to the neighboring city to take care of something for my elder brother. That’s when I met Bai Ze."

Chen Xi’s ears perked up at this. She sensed there was more to the story and hurriedly asked, "Who is Bai Ze?"

Jiang Yao replied, "Bai Ze was the previous owner of this house. He came from an intellectual family, not from our village. He saw that our village was backward and volunteered to teach at the local primary school. Later, he got into some trouble, and his family forced him to leave. A few years later, the school closed down. He was a good man. A kind man."

Gu Zi frowned and interjected, "You didn’t listen to what he had to say before. Why suddenly believe him now? Did he tell you something important?"

Jiang Yao nodded. "He didn’t provide any specific information. Honestly, I don’t know why I couldn’t listen to him and Li Mei’s explanation back then, but now it just makes sense. I can’t explain why, but he told me that he and Li Mei didn’t have an affair. Li Mei kept going to his place, saying she wanted to learn, that she didn’t want her child to have an illiterate mother.
