I married Jiang Xiaoli twelve years ago. Shortly after our wedding, I went out to work, and the following year she gave birth to a girl. During that time, I was working hard to support the family while she stayed home to take care of the child.
When our daughter turned four, Jiang Xiaoli said she wanted to take her to work at a relative's factory. I was worried about her working so hard while caring for the child and firmly opposed the idea. However, she countered that my earnings were too low for both of them to live on, leaving me speechless.
The long periods of separation accelerated our emotional distance, and soon she proposed divorce. At that time, I thought it was just emotional estrangement; I never imagined that Ximen Qing had stolen my family!
Now, what is there left for me to reminisce about? This time, under police questioning, Jiang Xiaoli's mother finally told the truth! She knew who her daughter had left with and where they were! She even visited Annan Laoguzhen to see her daughter working and living there with another man and their child, but she kept this from me, the fool who couldn’t be more foolish!
Back then, Jiang Xiaoli candidly told her mother that I was always away working and that she felt very lonely. Being a woman herself, she needed companionship. It was during this time that a man appeared in her life, giving her hope. They ended up together and had my daughter, but when divorce didn’t work out with me, they chose to elope with our child. Over the years of being on the run, Jiang Xiaoli claimed she was very happy and asked her mother not to worry.
Mother Jiang said, "Seeing you happy truly makes me glad!"
In my past life, to find Jiang Xiaoli and her daughter, I spent all my savings, sold our house back home, and borrowed from friends and relatives! Mother Jiang only scolded me: "Why won't you just divorce my daughter? Please let her go!" She refused to tell me the truth about Jiang Xiaoli's new life outside of our family, leaving me to search desperately.
I was like a pig!
A few days before the incident in my past life, I visited the factory where Jiang Xiaoli worked. Just days later, she was murdered. The police had no choice but to suspect that I killed her out of betrayal.
Do you know why I accepted the murder charge in my past life? It’s truly a tragic tale!
In that life, a friend of mine was working on a project in Annan and claimed he saw my daughter and wife there! So I went there and unexpectedly spotted my daughter while inquiring at a small shop.
Although my daughter no longer recognized me, I was still overjoyed. Eventually, guided by her, I met my long-missed wife Jiang Xiaoli—not just her but also the man she was with.
At that moment, I felt an unbearable fire within me; there was no anger or sadness—only the realization that my existence had lost all meaning!
In order to find them, I not only accrued a lot of debt, but I also sold my house! What else do I have left? That man is much older than her, and the main issue is that our relationship has left me feeling worse than dead!
He is the shame of my two lifetimes. I don’t mention him, but I believe that heaven will not let him off easily! My daughter is dead, and Jiang Xiaoli's mother, unable to frame me, finally gave up: that man is her daughter's cousin, Jia Huairen! He is my own cousin!
Jiang Xiaoli, feeling lonely and cold, eloped with her husband’s cousin—this truly is the most ridiculous thing in the world! Jiang Xiaoli and Jia Huairen ran away together to Annan, where they both found work at the same factory. They pretended to be a married couple and lived together as a family of three.
According to the Workshop Director's recollection, about ten days before the incident, Jia Huairen began taking leave from work, claiming he was unwell and needed to see a doctor. The last time the Workshop Director saw Jia Huairen and Jiang Xiaoli was on an afternoon just over ten days before the incident; after they entered the dormitory together, Jiang Xiaoli never came out again.
The police reviewed the factory's surveillance footage and found that only Jia Huairen had left with Jiang Xiaoli. He later told his coworkers that his wife had run away from home and that he needed to take leave to find her. After taking Jiang Xiaoli's daughter out, he never returned.
Upon investigating Jia Huairen's escape route, the police discovered that he had gone to Su Province and rented a room using his own ID. The police immediately contacted their counterparts in Su Province and coordinated a capture based on Jia Huairen's whereabouts there.
