Chapter 317: I Didn’t Kill Shen Lingbing (Part Two)
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
Jing Zhongxiu got extremely angry.
He kicked Jing Yiran meters away and Jing Yiran would have either died or become badly injured if Mo Lan had not stopped him!
“Family Shen is one of the most powerful wings of Family Jing and they have had a relationship with us for decades. Now all is ruined by you!”
Jing Zhongxiu’s face shrunk and voice froze. “If you intend to make Family Jing fade away, then get out of this place as soon as possible. You are not my son!”
Jing Yiran couldn’t breath until a long while later after he was kicked. He pushed Mo Lan who was helping him on his feet with hands over the chest and said, “I didn’t kill her!”
“Then how did Shen Lingbing die? Sickness? What sickness was it so that she died before she could be taken to the hospital? Who else would want her dead apart from you?”
Jing Yiran stood leaning against the wall. “I only wanted her to be sick enough as not to get off the bed. But I didn’t want her dead. It was her own destiny that she had to die!”
The father and the son were arguing when Jing Yichen walked in with a cold expression.
“Dad, I have something to tell you.”
Pressing down the fury inside his heart, Jing Zhongxiu turned around and walked into the study.
Jing Yichen didn’t spare a look towards Jing Yiran before he went upstairs to the study with him.
The father and the son talked for more than an hour in the study. When Jing Yichen came out of the study, he saw Jing Yiran still in the living room. Hearing the footsteps, Jing Yiran looked up instantly.
Jing Yichen came to his side steadily and coldly said, “Congratulations, your method was very effective. Dad will never set up a fiancée for you ever, in case more of Family Jing’s men are gone and more rivals are set up!”
Jing Yiran didn’t like the way Jing Yichen looked down at him. He got up and his casual look was gone completely. “I didn’t kill Shen Lingbing!”
“Talk with Shen Jinjun instead. He will be here tomorrow.” Shen Jinjun was Shen Lingbing’s father and the master of Family Shen.
Having said the words, Jing Yichen walked out and then drove home.
It was Shangguan Ning’s birthday today and he had wanted to give Shangguan Ning a surprise. But when the incident happened, he had to handle the stress from all aspects, leaving him no time to keep her company. Jing Yichen was feeling very guilty.
When he came home, Shangguan Ning came to him instantly and asked anxiously, “How is it now?”
Shen Lingbing was found dead this morning. Jing Yichen had gone to the site as soon as he heard the news. Many hours had passed and the media had been publishing reports crazily and claimed that Shen Lingbing was killed by Jing Yiran, because he was not satisfied with the marriage arrangement done by his father.
A month ago, Family Jing had already announced that Shen Lingbing was going to get engaged with Jing Yiran. Although the engagement ceremony had not happened yet, she was already part of Family Jing. So Jing Yichen had to be on the premises when something happened to her.
Jing Zhongxiu couldn’t be the one to deal with this matter, nor could Jing Yiran. So Jing Yichen was the only one left to handle it.
Family Shen was not in the list of top 10 families of A City, but it was still a powerful family with years of history behind them. The family had been an important helping hand for Family Jing and they had shared a very close relationship in the past.
So when the daughter of Family Shen died unexpectedly, Family Jing was naturally influenced tremendously.
Shangguan Ning had been worried that the incident would reflect badly on Family Jing and that Jingsheng Enterprise would also be influenced too.
Jing Yichen swept Shangguan Ning into his arms and kissed her forehead softly as he said gently, “Baby, Happy Birthday, I am so sorry not to have kept you company on this important day.”
The look of anxiety turned into the look of happiness on Shangguan Ning’s face. She took hold of Jing Yichen’s handsome yet tired face in her hands and said with a soft voice, “It is okay, you don’t need to be sorry. Compared to the dead one, we are lucky to still be alive.”
Shen Lingbing was someone Shangguan Ning knew of. They were not friends, but she had held a good impression of this elegant lady who possessed a strong sense of family responsibility. Shangguan Ning was tremendously impacted by her death.
She was not in a mood to celebrate her birthday.
She felt very guilty inside her heart. “If I had not recommended her to you back then, maybe she would not have died.”
Jing Yichen held Shangguan Ning’s hand and said softly, “It has nothing to do with you. Even if Shen Lingbing was not dead today, there would have been someone else. The rival aims at Family Jing, and as long as Jing Yiran was engaged, his fiancée would certainly die.”
Someone aimed at Family Jing?
Shangguan Ning was sensitive about something he said in the words. She was astonished. “So Jing Yiran isn’t the murderer?”
The media reports accused Jing Yiran as the murderer with strong evidence. Even Shen Lingbing’s parents had cried in front of the camera, accusing Jing Yiran of the murder of their daughter.
Jing Yichen said lightly, “No, it is not him. I told dad about that today at Family Jing. But we have no sufficient evidence that can remove Jing Yiran as the suspect. The rival has set up a scenario so perfectly that even Zheng Jing couldn’t find a flaw.”
All the evidence pointed at Jing Yiran. After Zhen Jing and his men inspected the crime scene, he told Jing Yichen that Shen Lingbing had definitely been killed and Jing Yiran was the only suspect.
The crime scene was perfect, and it was just because of it being so obviously perfect, it made Jing Yichen and Zheng Jing feel that something weird was going on. They both suspected that the murderer was someone else.
Jing Yiran may not be lying. He really didn’t kill Shen Lingbing.
According to Zhen Jing, it might seem reasonable if Jing Yiran wanted to kill Shen Lingbing. But after a careful contemplation, it could also be argued that the motivation was not strong enough. Killing might cater to Jing Yiran’s usual style of being vicious, yet it was not reasonable. Jing Yiran could have many other methods to avoid marrying Shen Lingbing. Killing her would be the least advantageous method for him to use, leaving a tremendous negative impact on Family Jing.
Shangguan Ning let out a sigh of relief inside her heart after hearing that Jing Yiran was not the murderer.
She didn’t like Jing Yiran, but she always thought that he would never kill someone innocent. He could torment an innocent man, but he would never kill him.
He knew pretty well that killing didn’t solve problems instead problems erupted when someone died.
Jing Yichen had not wanted Shanggaun Ning to be influenced by this incident. He explained briefly and then took her to the living room, where he took out the specially made cake from the fridge and showed it to her.
He had planned a huge celebration for her birthday because that was her first birthday after they got married and it should have been grand and formal.
