Su Ding was not trying to risk her life to retrieve this evidence.
She was merely hoping to seize this opportunity.
Soon, she took the elevator directly to the top floor.
She saw the man in black holding a crying child, and Wen Min sitting precariously on the edge of the rooftop.
When Wen Min saw Su Ding, she seemed surprised.
"Su Ding, it's been a long time."
"It has been a long time, Wen Min. I know everything about He Qing; she and Shao Lin were both acting under your orders, weren't they?" Su Ding said.
Wen Min smiled, her smile tinged with bitterness, "You're so lucky to have so many people helping you. I lost."
"It's not too late for you to turn back now."
Su Ding glanced at the still crying child, walked up to the man in black, and took the baby into her arms.
For some reason, the child who had been crying incessantly suddenly stopped. Seeing the baby's tender and adorable face, Su Ding felt a surge of affection.
"Think about your child. Don't you want to give yourself another chance?"
Su Ding looked at Wen Min and said, "As long as you're willing to surrender, it's not too late for anything."
Wen Min watched Su Ding holding the child, and a self-deprecating smile played on her lips.
"I will never betray Brother Gong, never."
"You!"
Su Ding frowned, about to say something, when Jin Ye and Jin Ling appeared behind her.
Jin Ling said directly, "Stop wasting your breath on this crazy woman. If she wants to die, then let her die. There's nothing I can't find out."
"Also, throw her child down too!"
As Jin Ling spoke, he snatched the child from Su Ding's arms, and at that moment, the baby started crying hysterically again!
"Jin Ling!"
Su Ding, caught off guard by the sudden snatching of the child, exclaimed in alarm, "What are you doing?!"
"Let them reunite with their mother."
Jin Ling gave a sinister chuckle, and holding the child, he walked step by step towards Wen Min, saying, "Don't worry, your child will accompany you on your journey."
"Stop!!!"
Wen Min's mind became extremely tense as she watched the child being brought closer to the edge of the drop. She yelled fiercely, "Stop! Don't!"
But Jin Ling paid no mind, grinning and saying, "If you don't hand over the evidence, this child dies."
"Stop!!"
Wen Min's hair seemed to stand on end. She could tell that Jin Ling was not someone to be trifled with.
Su Ding, seeing Jin Ling and the child nearing the edge, was also terrified. She wanted to pull them back, but Jin Ye grabbed her arm, signaling her to remain silent.
Jin Ling held the child, bouncing him slightly, and the baby's cries became even more miserable.
"No!!! Su Ding, what are you doing, stop him!"
Wen Min screamed.
Jin Ye gripped Su Ding's hand tightly and whispered, "Jin Ling is provoking her."
Even so, Su Ding was very worried about their safety. She frowned and finally suppressed her urge to speak.
Wen Min, on the other side, could no longer hold back, as she saw Jin Ling about to throw the child down!
No!
This was her child!
"Su Ding! Save the child! Su Ding, say something!"
Jin Ling finally reached the very edge.
Su Ding's heart lurched. She couldn't hold back any longer and was about to shout a warning when Wen Min suddenly yelled, "That's your child, Su Ding! Hurry and save the child!!!"
At her words, Su Ding's heart leaped. She looked at Wen Min blankly, her heart pounding rapidly.
Jin Ling also frowned in confusion, "What's going on?"
"That's your child! Your child isn't dead! Your child isn't dead! Hurry and save the child!"
Wen Min stood up, trying to rush towards Jin Ling but afraid he would drop the child if she moved.
But then, Su Ding heard Wen Min's words clearly, and her heart trembled.
That child…
"Jin Ye, that's your and Su Ding's child. What are you doing? Hurry and save the child!"
Wen Min yelled again, her voice full of despair.
Su Ding snapped back to reality, and then her voice trembled as she said, "Jin Ling! Give me the child!"
Jin Ye's expression also turned solemn, and he quickly walked over.
Jin Ling hesitated for a few seconds, then turned and handed the child over.
As Jin Ye caught the baby, Su Ding rushed over and hugged the child. Looking at the baby's face, she couldn't help but recall her pregnancy.
Seeing that the child was out of danger, Wen Min's heart finally settled.
With tears in her eyes, she looked at the child held in Su Ding's arms, and images flashed through her mind…
It was time to end this, perhaps it was time to end it.
Faintly, she seemed to see Brother Gong coming to welcome her, and she couldn't help but take a step forward.
"Ah!"
She fell directly down.
"Wen Min!"
Su Ding cried out as she watched Wen Min fall.
Jin Ling frowned slightly, walked to the edge, looked down, and watched in silence as Wen Min hit the ground, her blood spilling everywhere. He couldn't help but shake his head.
In an instant, the child began to cry again.
The cries were incredibly heart-wrenching and loud. After an unknown amount of time, the child finally fell asleep.
Su Ding held the child and returned to the car, her mind feeling somewhat muddled.
It wasn't until she returned home and rested for half a day that she finally came to her senses. The child was lying beside her, and Jin Ye was also there keeping her company…
"You're awake. He is indeed our child."
Jin Ye told her softly, "Wen Min is dead. Before she died, she cleared all of Brother Gong's evidence. He Qing and Shao Lin have confessed their crimes… it's all over…"
Su Ding listened quietly and then held the child tightly.
"It's all over."
Jin Ye gently embraced them both, letting out a long sigh of relief.
A week later.
He Qing and Shao Lin were formally indicted. During this time, the Jiang family came to Jiang City and met He Qing. It was then that He Qing learned that the arson had not been orchestrated by Jin Ye. The police, combining the remaining evidence that Wen Min had failed to destroy, obtained information about the true culprit.
It turned out that Chen Gong was behind the arson, and then he arranged for someone to rescue Jiang Jiayi, orchestrating this revenge.
He Qing was filled with regret.
Shao Lin confessed to all the facts without reservation. Her child was taken abroad by Jin Yao, and the two would never meet again.
At the Jin family's reunion ceremony, Elder Jin presided. Jin He and Zhao Qin, along with Xiao Xi, Xiao Rui, Dong Dong, and Si Wei, held a grand celebration to welcome Jin Ling into the family.
And on this day, it was also the birthdays of Jin Xiao Xi and Su Xiao Rui.
At the banquet.
Jin Xiao Xi closed his eyes and made a wish.
"I hope to see Tang Ran."
As he opened his eyes, his uncle Jin Ling looked at him and suddenly smiled.
Jin Xiao Xi asked curiously, "Uncle, are you laughing at me?"
Jin Ling tapped his head and then curled his lips, "My dear nephew, you need to work harder, otherwise, you won't be worthy of the little girl you're thinking of."
Jin Xiao Xi didn't understand.
Jin Ling smiled and shook his head, choosing not to say more.
He wouldn't tell them that he had taken a liking to Tang Ran when they were in the southern territories and had taken her away.
Barring any unforeseen circumstances, Tang Ran would be the next Night Queen.
"Uncle is so strange,"
Jin Xiao Xi muttered and then went to look at his younger brother.
Jin Ye and Su Ding watched the children, their faces displaying knowing smiles. They only wished that time could stand still at this moment.
