"No!" Zhong Wenyi shook his head and said, "Since I've taken on this case, I naturally have to be responsible until the end."
"But…" Lin Chuan frowned.
"Don't worry, even if it ans sacrificing my reputation, sacrificing my honors, it doesn't matter." Zhong Wenyi smiled and said, "I just want to let everyone know, I, Zhong Wenyi, am not a person who's afraid of troubles. Even if it ans opposing powerful authorities, I am fearless."
Lin Chuan imdiately smiled, "Lawyer Zhong, you really are sothing."
"Even I am not afraid, so you don't need to be afraid either." Zhong Wenyi smiled and said, "Lin Chuan, have a good rest tonight, tomorrow stand with confidently in the courtroom. Although we can't change anything, we still need to put up a brilliant rebuttal, to let everyone see that we're not truly guilty, but rather, soone is forcing us to be guilty."
"Right!" Lin Chuan patted Zhong Wenyi's shoulder and said, "You're right, it's not that we are really guilty, but because soone wants to make us guilty."
Zhong Wenyi laughed. The two clasped their palms tightly together, touching each other's fists.
Tang Yung saw these two laughing understandingly and she also started to laugh, as though tomorrow they wouldn't lose, but rather win instead.
The General's residence.
Li Xiangguo ca visiting once again, this ti, his expression was clearly more solemn.
Li Xiangguo's car stopped at the entrance, and he hurried in, the gate guard Xiao Liu didn't bother checking Li Xiangguo's pass anymore. For such familiar faces, not showing favoritism would probably lead to severe scolding.
In the courtyard, the old General was practicing calligraphy, skillfully writing characters in Wang Xizhi's style, very beautifully.
"What brings you here, lad?" The old General looked up and saw Li Xiangguo at the gate.
"How could I not co?" Li Xiangguo said with a wry smile, "If I didn't co, in a few days you might have to co and settle scores with ."
"Is that so?" The old General looked puzzled and asked, "What happened?"
"Who else do you think could make co to you twice in a month?" Li Xiangguo said helplessly.
"Could it be that Lin Chuan is in trouble?" The old General asked anxiously.
"Isn't that the case?" Li Xiangguo grimaced and said, "This lad is always stirring up trouble, and now, he's going to be brought to court tomorrow."
"What?!" The old General exclaid, "What exactly happened?"
"This lad was never calm in ** City, and now in Jiangbei City, he's even less restrained." Li Xiangguo said coldly, "This lad killed the son of Vice Secretary Song Ming, nad Song Hao. Allegedly because Song Hao kidnapped and planned to rape the woman Lin Chuan liked. Lin Chuan found out and busted one of his 'eggs', so harboring hatred, later Song Hao killed Lin Chuan's mother, and had soone encase her body in concrete and sink it in a drum into the East River. You tell , with Lin Chuan's temperant, can he swallow this insult!"
"That explains it." The old General exclaid angrily, "This lad was purely asking for it, he can't bla others."
"Of course, from a moral and emotional standpoint, Lin Chuan is justified and has a firm leg to stand on; but from a legal standpoint, he did commit murder and should be judged by the law," Li Xiangguo said with a laugh, "Thus, this lad has to go to court tomorrow."
"Then let him be jailed for a few days." The old General snorted coldly and said, "Who told him to still be so incorrigible."
Having said that, the old General resignedly walked back into the house, and Li Xiangguo flashed a grin and quickly followed him in.
After the old General entered the hall, he angrily drank a large cup of alcohol, and then said, "Xiao Li, are you willing to co with to Jiangbei City tomorrow?"
"Of course I'll go." Li Xiangguo nodded hurriedly and said, "Anything related to Lin Chuan is my business. My intelligence departnt almost tracks this lad's information daily, he's practically like my own child now."
"Exactly, speaking of which, this kid's father should be around your age, right?" The old General asked eagerly.
"Exactly," Li Xiangguo imdiately nodded and said, "It's only different by a month."
"Alright, tomorrow we'll head back to Jiangbei City together," the old chief took another fierce gulp of liquor.
............
In Jiangbei City, on a serene and sunny day, after a storm had cleared, the air in Jiangbei City felt exceptionally crisp. The outdoor air quality was very good with a very low PM2.5 index, only in the teens. Overall, the air was quite pleasant, although the weather was sowhat hot, the gentle breeze that blew made it feel quite refreshing.
This was a day that gave Lin Chuan's gang of brothers a massive headache.
They hadn't slept all night; the brothers all gathered in the spacious workshop of Changlin Factory. Over a hundred people gathered together, the lighting was glaring. Although they were there to discuss strategies, everyone seed lifeless.
"Brothers, won't any of you say sothing?" Zhou Kai glanced at everyone.
The crowd remained silent.
At this mont, Lu Dapao stood up and said, "Brother Chuan has treated us well. Without him, who knows? We might still be average hooligans, not the respected figures we are today. Now that Brother Chuan is in trouble, we shouldn't just stand aside."
"So what do you suggest we do?" Huang Bo beside him sneered and said, "Now Chuan has been arrested by the police, and he's going to trial tomorrow. Even Secretary Tang can't help; what can we possibly do? Going there would only add to the chaos."
"Nonsense!" Zhou Kai glared at Huang Bo and said, "Look at you, Huang Bo, always the first to take the money, and now when there's trouble, you shrink back like a turtle. Why do I have a brother like you?"
"What do you an?" Huang Bo looked at Zhou Kai discontentedly, "Aren't you insulting ?"
"Damn right, I'm insulting you," Zhou Kai slamd the table and roared, "If it weren't for Brother Chuan, you, damn Huang Bo, would still be a stuttering nobody on the streets. What would you be? Try ."
Huang Bo hated it when people touched his sore spots, his past of being a stutterer was exactly that. If it had been anyone else, he would have already started fighting, but unfortunately, it was Zhou Kai, so he didn't dare to act, just glaring with wide eyes, he said, "If you're so capable, go rescue him."
"Brothers," Zhou Kai scanned the crowd and said, "If Brother Chuan gets sentenced to death, we'll storm the execution ground."
Wham...
The crowd instantly burst into an uproar, everyone staring at Zhou Kai, dumbfounded. Such a proposal was too insane, wasn't it? Storming the execution ground? In ancient tis, that was a death sentence, and even in the present, to storm an execution ground was not easy. On the day of execution, the area would surely be secured by ard police and snipers; anyone daring to storm the area would be shot on sight. No one dared risk their life on this.
"Okay!" Li Qiang was the first to respond, saying, "What's there to fear? Worst case, eighteen years later, another hero rises."
"Count in," Liu Cheng stood up. Lin Chuan's life-saving grace and the kindness he knew from him could not go unreturned, now was the chance to repay that favor, and how could he, Liu Cheng, miss such an opportunity?
"I'm in too," Lu Dapao imdiately stood.
"Good," Zhou Kai nodded, "Only true brothers would stand up."
At this mont, Lu Dapao said, "Kai, if we're going to save Brother Chuan, why wait until the day of his execution? Why not just make our move tomorrow."
"Why?" Zhou Kai asked.
"I've heard that the trial will be held tomorrow, and it won't be delayed for many days," Lu Dapao sneered, "All of it is just a formality, a gesture for the public. So, the security won't be too heavy tomorrow. As soon as Brother Chuan is taken out of the court, that's our chance to break him out. Of course, timing is crucial, everything must be precise, I believe this way none of our brothers would die in vain."
"Count in," Huang Bo hurriedly said, "Damn it, I'm in for tomorrow's action."
"That's more like it," Zhou Kai glared at Huang Bo and said, "If you flinch, I'll despise you for life."
"I won't give you a chance to despise ," Huang Bo smiled.
"Still brothers," the two clapped hands and bumped fists. They smiled aningfully.
