A son-in-law, known for his violent temper, suspected his wife intended to move all their earned money back to her maiden family. Fueled by alcohol, he grabbed a cleaver from the kitchen and fatally struck his wife.
As it was a crime of passion, the son-in-law was compelled to relinquish all marital property to mitigate his sentence.
Ultimately, he was imprisoned for life. The parents received their daughter's entire hard-earned fortune.
The depths of human depravity were starkly revealed in this incident.
Jiang Jianguo and Zhang Lian, a couple, were so desperate to have a son that they heartlessly abandoned their infant daughter.
It was plausible that they might resort to extreme measures against her for Jiang Tianbao's future.
Jiang Ling's preemptive will was made in preparation for the worst-case scenario.
Even if the Jiang Jianguo family caused her death, they would not be able to siphon even a drop of her blood.
Upon hearing Jiang Ling's declaration, Jiang Tianbao and the other two, along with Jiang Jianguo and Zhang Lian who were monitoring the livestream on their phones, were furious.
Jiang Tianbao's face, in particular, turned a violent shade of purple, as if possessed by a living Yama.
Before coming to Liuyun Media to play the victim, Jiang Tianbao had privately asked his parents what they would do if their plan failed.
Jiang Jianguo gritted his teeth and said fiercely, "Hmph, if she doesn't cooperate, we'll kill this unfilial daughter. I've already checked the law. The Inheritance Law specifies first and second-order heirs. The first-order heirs are parents, spouse, and children. If a person dies, their assets are divided equally among the first-order heirs. If the first-order heirs are gone, then the second-order heirs inherit."
"This unfilial daughter is unmarried, without a husband or children, and her adoptive parents are deceased. Although my wife and I have legally lost our first-order inheritance qualification due to the issue of fostering, as long as she dies, you, her blood brother, can completely inherit all her assets as a second-order heir."
Although startled by the ferocity in his father's tone, Jiang Tianbao was even more covetous of Jiang Ling's substantial assets and naturally agreed to their plan.
However, while the Inheritance Law of Long Country stipulates order of succession, testamentary succession takes precedence.
If the deceased left a will, and that will did not violate any legal provisions, all statutory heirs would automatically lose their inheritance qualifications.
In other words, if Jiang Ling proactively made a will, donating her property or leaving it to her friends, then even if she died, Jiang Tianbao, her brother, would not receive a single cent.
Jiang Tianbao never imagined that Jiang Ling's vigilance would be so high that she would even consider this tactic and make a will in advance.
With this will in existence, not only could they not harm Jiang Ling, but they would also have to pray for her longevity.
Otherwise, should she die accidentally, all her assets would truly go to charitable organizations.
Seeing Jiang Tianbao's pained expression, Jiang Ling's disdain for the Jiang Jianguo family intensified.
It turned out this family truly intended to kill her to seize her inheritance. Even a tiger wouldn't eat its cubs; they were worse than beasts.
The more Jiang Ling thought about it, the more disgusted she felt. She said coldly, "Alright, I've said all I need to. Don't play the moral blackmail card anymore; it's really low."
With that, Jiang Ling walked away with determined strides.
Leaving Jiang Tianbao, his aunt, and his uncle bewildered.
Shortly after this incident, Jiang Tianbao's condition took a turn for the better, as the hospital found a new donor match.
