"Don't hand me over to the police!" Master Jia begged before he was stuffed into the trunk.
Jiang Yu brought them back to the villa. There was a basement in the villa. Because it was not used often, it was already a little old and there was a faint moldy smell.
The bodyguard threw Master Jia and Du Wei into the basement and prepared to close the door.
"Wait a minute! You have no right to lock us up here!" Master Jia roared, "This is illegal imprisonment. Do you know that?"
"Who said I imprisoned you illegally? I've already told the police. They'll come and take you away in a few days." Jiang Yu was standing at the entrance of the basement.
Because she was standing against the light, Master Jia could not see her face clearly. But from her tone, Master Jia knew that she was not joking.
This time, he was really afraid. He quickly begged, "This lady, I was blind. I know I was wrong. Please let me out! I didn't lie willingly. It's all her fault. It's all this woman's fault! She gave me money and said that she wanted me to come over and cheat people!"
Master Jia was really too afraid. He actually pushed all the responsibility onto Du Wei.
When Du Wei heard what he said, she was also shocked. She shouted angrily, "You old fart, how dare you frame me like this? You were the one who suggested this. How dare you push all the responsibility to me?"
Master Jia was still trying to shirk responsibility. "You seduced me from the beginning. Otherwise, how could I be with you?"
Du Wei still wanted to say something, but Jiang Yu stopped them and asked, "Wait a moment. Don't quarrel. I only have one question. Who gave Du Wei the pot of plants that she brought back a few months ago?"
Du Wei glared at Master Jia before turning to Jiang Yu. "It's all because of this old fart beside me!"
Jiang Yu's sharp gaze swept over Master Jia. Although Master Jia couldn't see clearly, her gaze was like a knife that cut into his body.
Master Jia knelt on the ground and explained, "I gave this plant to her. It's true, but she came to me for it! Previously, she came to me and said that her mother-in-law was sick. She asked me to think of a way to make that old woman die quickly. I thought for a long time before deciding to give this plant to her!"
After Master Jia finished speaking, Du Wei suddenly fell silent. She cowered and did not dare to speak.
"Do you give it to her just because she wants it from you? This plant is poisonous. If Du Wei's mother-in-law really died because of this, you'll be a murderer!" Jiang Yu said sternly.
"That's why I went for a checkup today! If that woman really died in the end, then to the outside world, it could be said that it was caused by evil energy entering her body!" Fortunately, Master Jia was a middle-aged man. He did not expect that he would be so scared that he would cry in front of Jiang Yu.
"How many people do you think will believe your reason?" Jiang Yu could not help but sneer. "The two of you are quite interesting. Du Wei, you gave all the money in the family to Master Jia. Don't tell me you still have hope that he will be able to take you away in the end?"
Du Wei had been silent all this while. Now, Jiang Yu's words had hit a sore spot in her heart. Suddenly, she shouted crazily, "He will take me away! Compared to Ji Tang's useless younger brother, at least Master Jia can really let me see hope! As long as he says he will take me away, he will definitely take me away. I don't have to stay in this dilapidated place anymore! Back then, when I was walking outside in a glamorous manner, anyone who saw me would have to curry favor with me! But now?
I can't even afford to wear clothes that are out of season. I can only pick up clothes that others don't want!"
As Du Wei spoke, she began to cry.
Jiang Yu had always felt that Du Wei had trusted Master Jia, the swindler, too much, so much so that she had handed over all her people and the last of her family's money.
"You're still too naive. This Master Jia is obviously unreliable. You gave him everything, but he will definitely leave you behind and run away alone." Jiang Yu said, "If you don't believe me, you can take a look. If I can let one of you go now, do you think he wants to leave or will he let you go?"
When Master Jia heard this, he quickly straightened his back and said loudly, "If you're really willing to let a person go, then let Du Wei go!"
