Chapter 183 Different Paths, Same Destination: Zheng Tian, ​​you'll be thrown into the sea too!

As some familiar songs began to play, Zheng Tian slowly closed his eyes. The next second, tears streamed down his cheeks. The next second, the staff looked at each other, and after confirming that there were no issues, they began to carry out the execution.

As the special agent was drawn into the syringe, the countdown to Zheng Tian's death truly began, and this time was very short, perhaps less than a minute.

Extraction complete.

Although the amount of the agent was not very large, this dosage was sufficient to execute an adult male.

The staff members wore calm expressions, then looked at their colleagues. The staff understood and signaled for the other person to begin the injection.

When the pain of the needle piercing his skin hit him, Zheng Tian frowned tightly. His heart was filled with panic, and he even widened his eyes, his gaze filled with undisguised fear. The staff were also somewhat surprised; under normal circumstances, the drug's effects wouldn't have kicked in yet, so why was he already reacting like this? However, it was normal; this was just Zheng Tian's psychological reaction.

At the same time, Zheng Tian began to struggle continuously. Fortunately, he was already restrained, so even his struggling was useless. The staff ignored it and continued to inject the agent into his veins.

Zheng Tian felt a sharp pain in his heart. He wanted to touch his heart, but his limbs were restrained, so he had no way to move.

With the intense pain, Zheng Tian felt his consciousness gradually fading, his eyes growing wider. He didn't know how much time had passed, perhaps a few seconds, perhaps ten or so seconds. In short, it was very fast, and he gradually began to lose consciousness.

A few seconds later, Zheng Tian's body lay motionless.

Watching this scene, the doctor took a deep breath.

"Execution complete."

"Next, we can confirm whether the criminal suspect is dead."

Upon hearing what the doctor said, the staff members nearby nodded and immediately took action.

They began to examine Zheng Tian.

Ten minutes later, Zheng Tian was confirmed dead.

"Cremate him."

Bodies after execution must be cremated. In this era, the country promotes cremation. Perhaps some among the public might struggle with it and not want to be cremated, as for some older people, cremation means there is nothing left of their remains. However, those who are executed are definitely cremated.

"Yes."

...

Inside the car, Zheng Jie sat in the back seat, his face calm.

At this moment, he was communicating with the wedding team. The preparation work for the wedding had reached its final stages, with only a few details remaining. Actually, there weren't many things that required Zheng Jie to make a decision; it was better to let the team handle most of it, though there were times when Zheng Jie needed to make a decision.

"Miss Zhou wants to use drones for a fireworks display, but this was not in our original wedding plan. So, Chairman Zheng, what is your intention..."

Hearing this, Zheng Jie nodded.

"That's fine."

"I will give you their contact information. Whatever kind of performance Miss Zhou needs, you plan that kind of performance. In short, I will have the company here fully cooperate with you."

Zheng Jie's tone was calm. In fact, to some extent, Zheng Jie was a pretty good boyfriend and husband; he was handsome, wealthy, and willing to respect his partner's ideas. Basically, as long as it wasn't a matter of principle, Zheng Jie was willing to support the other person. If one really had to say what the biggest problem was, it would be that he was not loyal in his relationships.

However, in this circle, emotional infidelity wasn't considered much of a problem. After all, people less capable than Zheng Jie had multiple wives and concubines. Someone like Zheng Jie, who currently only had Zhou Ya and one mistress, was truly rare.

As for the other mistress, it was because she felt that this kind of life was enough and didn't want to continue, so she chose to leave. Zheng Jie didn't care about that; after all, not everyone was Xia Wanqing.

"Understood, we understand."

After hanging up the phone, Zheng Jie dialed the company's number.

While he was making arrangements, the secretary's phone suddenly rang. The secretary looked at the caller ID, hurriedly stepped out of the car, and answered the call.

"Zheng Tian has been successfully executed and cremated. When do you have time? Please come and collect the ashes. However, collecting the ashes requires the person themselves to be present and to sign, so we hope you can have Chairman Zheng come."

"Okay, I understand. We should be there in a while."

"Very well."

Hanging up, the secretary looked at Zheng Jie sitting in the back seat, took a deep breath, and then sat back in the front passenger seat. At this time, Zheng Jie was still on the phone, so the secretary sat quietly without saying a word. A few minutes later, Zheng Jie finished his call.

"What is it?"

Zheng Jie looked at the secretary. The secretary was very sensible; except for work calls which had the ringer on, his personal phone was always on silent, so that call must have been about something important.

"Chairman, they just called to say that Zheng Tian's execution has been carried out and the cremation is complete. They want us to go over and collect the ashes, and it requires you to be there in person."

Hearing this, Zheng Jie nodded.

"Then let's go. Their work is already quite hard, we shouldn't add to their trouble, right?"

Zheng Jie said with a smile.

It was finally over.

Zheng Tian was dead.

He died on this sunny day.

If there was one regret, it was not seeing the look of utter terror on his face before he died, though Zheng Jie could likely imagine it.

"Very well, Chairman."

The secretary and Zheng Jie got out of the car and walked towards their destination. About ten minutes later, they arrived at the door of a room, which was the place agreed upon for handing over the ashes.

"Mr. Zheng, these are your brother's ashes."

Hearing this, Zheng Jie looked at the ashes handed over by the staff. The secretary beside him hurriedly reached out and took the ashes.

They were a bit light.

That made sense.

Because ashes are too heavy, they wouldn't give you all of them, but only a portion. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it wasn't certain whether these were all Zheng Tian's ashes; perhaps there were some of others mixed in.

"You can sign your name here."

"After signing, is there nothing else?"

"Yes, we will also give you a death certificate. You can use this death certificate to cancel his household registration."

Dealing with household cancellation is usually not a pleasant experience for anyone, but Zheng Jie was an exception. Although the deceased was his family member, in a sense, this person was also his enemy. Since his enemy was dead, how could he be sad?

In reality, he would only be happy.

"Okay."

After signing his name and receiving the death certificate, Zheng Jie and the secretary left.

"Chairman, these ashes..."

"Should we throw them into the sea?"

The secretary looked at Zheng Jie curiously. After all, Mrs. Zheng's ashes had been thrown directly into the sea, so Zheng Tian's ashes should be the same, right?

Hearing this, Zheng Jie nodded.

"Throw them into the sea."

Zheng Jie looked up and stretched. After working for several hours, he had finally obtained what he wanted. For Zheng Jie, the fatigue of the past few hours vanished instantly, leaving only a sense of refreshment.

"Let the mother and son be reunited."

"After all, she loved her eldest son so much, didn't she?"

Zheng Jie's tone was cold as he spoke. Hearing this, the secretary didn't know what to say.

Many times, the pain of the past is truly impossible to forget for a lifetime. Even if Zheng Jie had everything now, the pain and collapse of the past were real, weren't they?

They returned to the car and headed towards the seaside.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Su Qiaoer's family was moving. They no longer wanted to live in the Villa. Although they couldn't sell it, they still had to spend money on it. But if they stayed in the house, the daily electricity bill was an astronomical figure, so the family simply moved out.

Due to financial problems, the family of three moved into a three-bedroom apartment. In this place where every inch of land is worth gold, a three-bedroom apartment is the dream of most people's lives, but for these people who used to be high and mighty, it was no different from a slum.

Furthermore, the privacy here definitely couldn't be compared to the Villa, so every time she went out, Su Qiaoer felt anxious and nervous, afraid of being recognized by others.

"Mom, this is the only place we can live now."

Su Qiaoer looked at Mother Su, her tone filled with helplessness. Coming here from so many Villas, this huge disparity was not something an ordinary person could understand. Hearing this, Mother Su looked around, her eyes filled with helplessness.

She never thought in her life that she would live here; this was completely unimaginable for her.

"Fine, it's actually quite good."

Although she was breaking down inside, she certainly wouldn't say such things, otherwise her daughter would definitely be sad.

"Mom, there is one more thing. Transfer all the money in your Bank accounts to me."

Su Qiaoer saying this was not just to control all the family's money, but because of that Villa. That Villa had become a thorn in their side; since it couldn't be sold, they had to keep it. Even the Bank was unwilling to use the Villa as collateral for a loan for them. In this situation, they could only choose to stop paying the management fees. But if they did that, the property management would definitely sue. In that case, if there was still money in the Bank accounts, they would only have to keep paying.

So, there was only one solution: transfer all the family's money to Su Qiaoer. The reason was simple: the Villa was currently under the names of Father Su and Mother Su. This meant that even if there was a lawsuit, the other party would only hold Father Su and Mother Su responsible, which had nothing to do with Su Qiaoer. If all the money in the house was with Su Qiaoer, even if the court ordered them to pay, they had no assets under their names, so they couldn't pay.

However, it was highly likely that the two would become deadbeats. But for the Su Family, this was completely irrelevant. As long as Su Qiaoer had money in her hands, that was enough. They lived together, so let them be deadbeats.

For ordinary people, becoming a deadbeat feels like the sky is falling, but in reality, if you have no morals, you will find that these things are nothing.

Restricted from high consumption.

It doesn't matter, you can drive.

Not allowed to have any assets under your name?

It doesn't matter, I can give them to my wife. If I don't trust my wife, I can give them to my child. There is always a way.

As for other disadvantages... it seems there aren't any. Or do they feel uncomfortable because they don't have to pay back the money?

"Fine, Qiaoer, then we'll do it according to your plan."

"By the way, do we need to state that it is a voluntary gift? I'll mark that down for you then."

Hearing this, Su Qiaoer nodded.

"Okay."

This was a solution Su Qiaoer had considered for several days. Although it sounded pathetic, it was the only method they could use right now.

These things weren't complicated to handle, mainly involving money and some assets under their name, but these things required some time.

On the other side, Zheng Jie had already brought Zheng Tian's ashes to the seaside. Zheng Jie had a deep memory of this place because it was the same place where he had thrown Mrs. Zheng's ashes last time.

One can only say that all paths lead to the same destination; in the end, the mother and son ended up in much the same way. Perhaps they would meet in some corner of the sea in the future, but it was more likely that they would never have the chance to meet again.

Today was a workday, so there was no one at the beach. Zheng Jie opened the urn; inside, one could faintly see some bones. Actually, the place Zheng Jie found was really quite good. The seawater here flowed relatively fast and was quite deep. Once thrown in, it would disappear without a trace in the next second, and it would be washed into deeper water, so it wouldn't scare other people coming to the beach.

It must be said that when it comes to being meticulous, Zheng Jie really had some skills.

Zheng Jie first threw the ashes into the seawater. In the next second, all the ashes disappeared, vanishing without a trace. Watching this scene, Zheng Jie's eyes were filled with satisfaction.

Immediately after, Zheng Jie threw the box in as well. Before the execution, Zheng Tian had actually arranged for his lawyer to be responsible for receiving his ashes, but Zheng Tian was too naive. Did he think that just because he had made arrangements, he could escape the fate of being thrown into the sea?

Ridiculous.

Zheng Tian would never know that in the end, his ashes still ended up in Zheng Jie's hands.

And just like his mother, he was thrown into the sea.

Watching the urn also disappear from sight, Zheng Jie took a deep breath and said—

"Let's go."
