The Genius Doctor, My Wife, Is Valiant Chapter 1297 - 1297: Jiali’s Faith
Previously on The Genius Doctor, My Wife, Is Valiant...
Clearly, Eddie understood his father intimately, eliminating the need for any additional clarification from Zhan Lichuan.
“That’s right.”
Eddie nodded, “That’s precisely why I always suspected my father’s death was strange. I woke up one morning to learn he had passed away, and suddenly I was thrust into his role as successor. Deep down, I knew he’d been assassinated, yet the culprit remained a mystery. Reflecting on it now, I was never truly fit to lead the family. Besides Jiamo, even El would outperform me in that position.”
Noticing the silence from Zhan Lichuan and Du Yanzheng, another burning question arose in Eddie’s mind.
!!
He faced Jinqian and inquired, “Miss Di, I have a question. Would you mind answering it?”
Jinqian anticipated his query and straightforwardly revealed the facts, “When you seized Vincent and aimed to destroy Bachard, he faced threats from within his own family too. His brother even plotted to murder him just to seize the Little family’s assets. It was I who rescued him, healed his injuries, and eliminated his younger brother.”
Eddie’s mouth twitched upon hearing the account.
The previous head of the Little family had chosen Bachard’s younger brother as heir. Yet, that sibling was ruthless and despised Bachard’s presence in the household. Thus, as Eddie pressured Bachard relentlessly, the brother resolved to eliminate him permanently.
Those were the darkest days Bachard ever endured.
Stripped of his family’s safeguard, his son was snatched away. He became a hunted man, suffering grievous wounds in the process.
...
Eddie longed to question Jinqian: for a girl raised in a humble household who only recently rejoined the Di family, how did she command such loyalty from so many at just 20 years old?
Coming from Country Z, how had she reached and saved Bachard across the ocean? How did she assist him in slaying his brother and claiming his authority?
Yet, not a word escaped his lips.
“Are you here to kill me?”
Now fully aware of his three visitors’ identities, Eddie posed the question weighing heaviest on his heart.
Outwardly composed, his pulse raced furiously inside.
United, these three formed an invincible force. Even if free, ruling the Centrals and the Hess family, he couldn’t have repelled their assault.
He chose to confront the issue head-on.
“That won’t be necessary. You have merely tried to hinder the progress of AO2 back then, and that wouldn’t cost you your life.
“However, when Jiali and Hawkins tried to kill us, you knew about it but did not say anything. When the Medical Federation went after my sister-in-law, you also kept your mouth shut. You knew that Hawkins had committed crimes, but you still allowed him to do so. Plus, you took away Bachard’s son for your own and even thought that Bachard should feel grateful towards you. All of these are crimes that you have committed.
“So, you will have to stay here. You will only be allowed to leave depending on how long you have been sentenced to. Since Vincent is your son, he will be taking over the shares that you had. Don’t worry, Vincent already said that when you grow old, he will not be taking care of you.”
...
Eddie stood dumbfounded.
As Du Yanzheng, Zhan Lichuan, and Di Jinqian walked away into the distance, a wave of grief and regret washed over Eddie.
Did this outcome bring him joy?
Far from it.
He hadn’t harmed Jiamo or them, but these youngsters showed no deference to their uncle in their words.
Still, if positions were reversed, he admitted this was the mildest retribution possible—perhaps he’d inflict worse.
Ultimately, though he spared Jiamo’s sons from direct harm, his schemes had provoked them. Facing his current fate, their refusal to aid him was entirely justified.
Vincent returned to his father’s side, yet he claimed the Hess inheritance, with Di Jinqian as his savior. Meanwhile, Jiali and Jiamo’s shares in the Hess family fell entirely to Du Yanzheng and Zhan Lichuan.
They were destined to dominate the world ahead.
For Eddie, the governor’s shield offered no more refuge, and bereft of Hess support, he shuddered at the severity of his impending punishment.
Unlike Eddie, who had resigned to reality, Jiali remained clueless about the chaos unfolding. Now deranged, she rallied her followers. Upon discovering Zhan Lichuan and Du Yanzheng’s visit to her brother in prison, she lay in wait along their route to strike them down.
...
Her son meant the world to her, yet these fiends had slain him!
In her heart, Jiali resolved that she would eliminate Du Yanzheng and Zhan Lichuan, even if it meant giving up her own life.
She had gathered 200 fighters, with the majority being elite S-grade mercenaries.
She reflected inwardly that even if police got involved, her force of 200 was more than sufficient to take down just those three targets.
Moreover, her subordinates vastly outpowered the police. The cops weren't foolish; they'd surely withdraw once they grasped the dire circumstances here.
Today, no matter the obstacles, she absolutely had to slay Du Yanzheng and Zhan Lichuan!
Killing off these two unruly brats still couldn't make up for the excruciating grief from her child's death.
Jiali's eyes were puffy, filled with seething hatred.
Learning from her men that the car had exited the police station, Jiali commanded them to crash into it.
She held back the grenades at first. They'd only come into play once she dominated the scene. Her plan was to torment them agonizingly, peeling away their flesh bit by bit.
Zhan Lichuan’s car lay wrecked at the roadside. Aside from Zhan Lichuan, only two… Robots stood beside him.
...
The trio leaped into action without delay.
The ‘Zhan Lichuan’ before their eyes was none other than Cutie.
One was Robot No.1 belonging to Zhan Lichuan, while the other was the robot he created for Du Yanzheng.
Cutie alone could overpower these assailants, but with three robots combined, Jiali's fate was irrevocably doomed.
Sensing something off, Jiali hurriedly ordered her men to fire the grenades.
Though the grenades shot out, a robot snatched them mid-air and flung them right back at the senders.
The explosive might of three grenades defied imagination.
No matter their strength, these foes couldn't endure the blast of three grenades exploding together!
