Chapter 3: Black Heart, Returning for Revenge

After doing all this, Jiang Xiangxiang planned to leave Myanmar and return home. She unfolded a map, relocated herself, and appeared directly at the local police station. She submitted all the criminal data from Myanmar, placing it in the chief’s office, and then quietly disappeared.

She wouldn’t be involved in what happened next. It wasn’t her concern.

Jiang Xiangxiang’s priorities were self-preservation and revenge. She also needed to gather a large amount of supplies for her next move.

After mentally reviewing her plan, she reappeared in an empty room in her second uncle, Jiang Chenghai’s, house. Since they had sold her, she no longer felt any obligation to her family.

If they discovered her…

It would only create more trouble.

Considering this, Jiang Xiangxiang abandoned her initial plan to confront them. If she were to deal with them, it would have to be secretly.

She needed to devise a plan to teach them a lesson. At that moment, she heard voices coming from inside her uncle’s house.

Jiang Xiangxiang immediately pressed herself against the door and began eavesdropping—or rather, she was openly listening at the door.

Jiang Chenghai and his wife, Zhao Cailian, were talking, along with their son, Jiang Longlong, who was lounging around smoking a cigarette.

They were arguing.

Jiang Longlong spoke first: “Mom and Dad, I don’t care. You said you’d get me a wife, and no matter what, you have to give me the money.”

Jiang Chenghai gritted his teeth: “Give you? I already gave it to you! Why did you gamble it away? That was the money we got from selling Jiang Xiangxiang—a full fifty thousand yuan!”

Fifty thousand yuan.

Jiang Xiangxiang froze, tears welling up. It was heartbreaking and ironic. Was her life only worth fifty thousand yuan?

She had already prepared fifty thousand yuan. If they had just talked to her—no, they didn’t even need to speak. If they had just waited that night, Jiang Xiangxiang would have given them the money herself.

Mentioning Jiang Xiangxiang, Jiang Longlong seemed a little guilty and yelled:

“How was I supposed to know she was only worth fifty thousand yuan? Even selling kidneys or organs would fetch more than that! Those human traffickers are so black-hearted, extorting us!”

“Whether it was extortion or not, it’s already done. What’s the point of talking about it now?” Jiang Chenghai raked his hair back. “If you hadn’t gambled it away, it would have been enough.”

“Not enough! They want one hundred and eighty-eight thousand!” Jiang Longlong said angrily. “If I didn’t need the money, would I have gambled? It’s all because that dead girl was worthless! I should have gotten her ID card first, then I could have borrowed hundreds of thousands. She was going to die anyway, might as well use it to make some money!”

Now she was dead.

He couldn’t get a loan.

Jiang Longlong became angrier and kicked the coffee table. Then he had another idea. Maybe he could still use her household registration documents!

The more he thought about it, the better the idea seemed. He could still exploit it.

“Dad, where’s our household registration book? Isn’t Jiang Xiangxiang registered with us? Give me her page; I’ll figure something out.”

“You!”

“We couldn’t find her ID card, so this is the only way.”

“…”

Jiang Chenghai and Zhao Cailian remained silent for a long time, considering the feasibility of his suggestion. After all, there was no death certificate yet, so maybe it could work.

Listening inside, Jiang Xiangxiang trembled with rage, feeling like she was about to explode. She wanted to rush out and kill the three of them.

If that didn’t work, she still had a stun gun in her bag. She could just electrocute them to death.

Just as she lost control and was about to burst out,

Zhao Cailian spoke.

“Honey, just give it to him. Getting married is a big deal. We can’t let the dowry stop him from getting married. It affects the continuation of the Jiang family line.”

“It’s not that I don’t want to give it to him, but nowadays, loans require facial recognition!”

“Besides, that girl is already dead.” Jiang Chenghai wiped his face. “No matter what, I feel bad for my elder brother’s family. In the future…”

“You already feel bad enough. Didn’t you sabotage their brake pads back then?” Zhao Cailian said angrily. “I told you, you Jiang family are just country bumpkins, poor and without any treasures. You didn’t believe me, insisting that the treasure was with Jiang Chengshan. And now he’s dead, and there’s no treasure. You still insist the treasure was with Jiang Xiangxiang, then what?”

Back then, she said they shouldn’t keep idle people around.

Jiang Chenghai argued with her, saying Jiang Chengshan wouldn’t mistreat his daughter and must have told Jiang Xiangxiang something. He insisted on observing.

In reality, there was nothing.

They had raised her for so many years.

Jiang Xiangxiang felt a chill run down her spine. From her words, she understood. Her parents’ deaths weren’t accidental.

Her second uncle had done it. That’s why she became an orphan, living under their roof. All those years, his kindness was just a ploy to find the so-called treasure?

Jiang Xiangxiang’s heart sank. She wanted to cry, but found she couldn’t. This whole family was rotten to the core.

She had initially thought that handing them over to the police would be enough, that she could be a law-abiding citizen. But now, she felt differently.

A glint of hatred flashed in Jiang Xiangxiang’s eyes. She went to the kitchen, looked at the gas tank, and thought, if they died in a gas explosion, no one would suspect her.

Moreover, since she was missing, who would suspect her?

Thinking this, Jiang Xiangxiang took out several packs of explosives, secretly placing them under the gas tank. She then opened the gas valve, leaving only the need for a spark.

She could send the three of them to the afterlife.

Anyway, she was going to die.

Then they could die together.

It would be revenge for her parents. But before that, there was one more thing to do.
