The moment the words "murderer" fell, Ke Jie covered the side of his face that had been struck and slowly lifted his head. The weight of those words made it clear that Tong Le had no intention of letting him off the hook today.
But Ke Jie was not about to give up. Since he dared to come here alone, it meant he was prepared to face the consequences.
He reached out to grasp Tong Le's shoulders, but she instinctively took two steps back and coldly said, "Stop pretending, Ke Jie. Haven't you played this tragic role long enough over the past seven years? From university to graduation, in front of my parents, and now even at Zong Group, you dare to act here? The world is indeed vast and full of surprises; everywhere is your grand stage."
Tong Le exposed him, saying, "You and your father killed my parents. The police have already opened an investigation and are about to file charges. Do you still have the heart to play the innocent man in front of me?"
Pointing at Ke Jie’s face, she raised her voice for everyone in the office lobby to hear. "This Ke Jie appears honest and upright, but in reality, he is a cold-blooded murderer! He conspired with his father to kill my parents and colluded with his mother to steal from Tongshan Real Estate. They marginalized me and brainwashed me for years while secretly engaging with various women and even attempted to kill me!"
Looking at Ke Jie’s seemingly innocent face, she continued, "If your drug-related case hadn't been discovered, would I have ended up like my parents months later? Yes, by then the entire Tong Family would be wiped out, and you along with your father and mother would easily inherit everything from us!"
Ke Jie immediately denied it. "I didn’t! I never thought of harming you! You are my wife, the one I promised to be with for life! How could I harm you? I am the one taking care of your household! I manage your company! I am the one providing for our family! To win your affection, I set aside all my pride to seek your family's approval! How can you say that I've been ungrateful?"
"Tong Le, you cannot treat my sincere feelings this way! I admit my father did wrong; those things were all his doing! If it weren't for the police investigation, I would have been kept in the dark too! How could I harm you? Even when I knew you were cheating on me with other men and even pregnant with another man's child, I still begged you for forgiveness! How can you say I'm trying to harm you?"
Ke Jie pounded his chest forcefully. "Tong Le, it was me who saved your life in the library back in university! I gave you a second chance at life! Now just because you've found a richer man than me, does that mean everything I've done counts for nothing?"
As he spoke, Ke Jie dramatically collapsed onto the ground. He supported himself with his hands and cried out in anguish. The onlookers couldn't help but feel sorrowful and sympathetic towards him.
Tong Le had underestimated Ke Jie's acting skills; after such a performance, she reasonably suspected he had secretly studied acting for three years.
She reminded him sharply, "How thick-skinned can you be? The person who saved me in the library was Zong Zeyu! You were just an opportunist who swooped in after stealing credit! Do you really think I don’t know anything? It was Zong Zeyu who carried me out of the fire! He almost lost his life for me! You hesitated outside while he risked everything to save me; only after he fainted did you take advantage of the situation!"
"Ke Jie," she continued angrily, "you’ve deceived me for seven years—seven years—and you're still not done? You still want to stand on moral high ground to manipulate me?"
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. "You really have no shame!"
Hearing Tong Le curse him out made Zong Zeyu glance at his wife with a somewhat surprised expression; this little spitfire really knew how to throw insults.
The onlookers began discussing whether what they were witnessing was real or staged. Seizing the opportunity, Zong Zeyu put on an air of nonchalance as if it were no big deal while basking in their attention.
At that moment, Lan Qingqing stealthily brought Hou Yi upstairs. The office lobby was spacious enough that adding Hou Yi didn’t make much difference.
Hou Yi also sat down in an empty seat with a spectator's attitude as he watched this unfolding drama.
Lan Qingqing settled at her desk with an uncontrollable smile; she was waiting for Tong Le's humiliation today!
Seeing old matters being exposed, Ke Jie immediately knelt before Tong Le on his knees and continued playing the emotional card.
Grasping her pant leg with both hands, he tried to change the subject cleverly. "Wife, I truly had no idea about Ke Wei Qiang's actions! After learning what he did to you, I resolved to sever ties with him as my father! From now on, I will no longer acknowledge him as my father! I've heard from the officer that Ke Wei Qiang resented me for being a son-in-law and felt wronged; that's why he resorted to such drastic measures! I knew nothing about any of this! If you don’t believe me, check the surveillance footage from the crime scene! I've never harbored any intentions of harming you!"
Tong Le detected something suspicious in his words; only a murderer who was fully aware of their actions would mention surveillance footage so confidently. It indicated that he had likely scoped out all nearby cameras beforehand.
