"This…" Zhang Tianhua was dumbfounded, not just Zhang Tianhua, the other jurors and the court clarks at the Interdiate Court were all stunned. They had never anticipated that the situation would escalate to such an uncontrollable extent.
"Enough talk, are you releasing him or not?" the old man bellowed angrily.
"We… we cannot release him!" Zhang Tianhua hastily replied.
"No matter." The old man smiled and said, "Then I'll just take him by force."
Clatter...
Two guards lifted their legs and kicked over the isolation area, pulling Lin Chuan out from inside.
"You, you… this is banditry!" Zhang Tianhua, having worked his whole life at the Ministry of Justice, had never encountered such blatantly unreasonable and oppressive people.
"Banditry?" The old man scoffed. "Bandits are much better than those who murder their mothers, encase the bodies in cent, and sink them to the riverbed!"
The old General's words imdiately caused Zhang Tianhua to wipe the sweat off his brow.
"Zhang Tianhua, go back and tell that old geezer surnad Fu. One must not be too devoid of morality." The old General scoffed. "If he has any complaints, let him co find . Just say that the Commander of the Beijing Military Region, Chen Zhenlin, took the person away."
Hisss...
At that mont, the audience gasped in unison, nobody had expected that this old man was actually the Commander of the Beijing Military Region? How unbelievable was that? What level of person is the Commander of the Beijing Military Region? He was similar to Lin Chong from the Song dynasty, commanding eight hundred thousand troops in Beijing. Such an impressive figure actually ca to Jiangbei City to storm a court. This was just too...
From this, it was evident that Lin Chuan's status and position were definitely not ordinary. It left everyone in extre astonishnt.
"How spectacular."
"Damn, I feel like I'll never encounter sothing this spectacular in my whole life again."
"I've been sitting here for over ten hours today, and it was definitely a wise choice!"
A group of people were heatedly discussing, their hearts were exhilarated. Witnessing such an exhilarating event truly excited them. In fact, deep down, they were all on Lin Chuan's side, feeling a certain sympathy for him. Now seeing Lin Chuan's situation dramatically turned around, they naturally beca very excited.
"That's great, Lin Chuan is saved." Zhou Rui burst into excited tears.
"Brother Lin is finally not going to die." Nuo Xiaoxi was also so excited that she almost cried.
Tang Yung, although restraining her emotions, was still very excited, her eyes reddening. However, she still maintained so clarity. This old man claid to be the Commander of the Beijing Military Region, so… He just repeatedly ntioned that Lin Chuan was his grandson? That might not be true; perhaps he's a sworn grandson. A Commander, a General of the Military Region, coming all the way to Jiangbei City to save Lin Chuan, it just shows how extraordinary Lin Chuan's status is. And he only brought two guards with him.
The scene fell silent, everyone was shocked by the old General's words.
As the Commander of the Beijing Military Region, as a General, he actually condescended to co to Jiangbei City, and just for Lin Chuan. This was simply mind-blowing. After Tang Yung felt that Lin Chuan's status was extraordinary, others at the scene also began to speculate about Lin Chuan's identity.
"God, what exactly is Lin Chuan's identity?"
"Who knows, could he be a military personnel?"
"Are you deaf, didn't he just say it?"
Many people curiously discussed.
At this mont, Song Ming imdiately stood up, shouting: "I don't care who you all are, murder for murder is the natural order of justice, Lin Chuan killed my son, how can he just walk away? If you insist on taking him, then I will go to Beijing and file a formal complaint!"
The old General frowned, he turned to look at Song Ming, then smilingly said: "Murder for murder? Your son Song Hao killed Lin Chuan's mother. Using your son's life to reciprocate for Lin Chuan's mother's life, what's the problem with that?"
"You!" Song Ming was montarily stunned, he had always deliberately avoided the matter of Song Hao killing Lin Chuan's mother. So, it completely slipped his mind. Suddenly spoken by the old General, he was taken aback, imdiately blurting out, "What do you an? How could my son's life be comparable to an old woman's?"
"Listen up, kid." The old General earnestly said, "Haven't you always claid that everyone is equal before the law? Now, here is your equality. Whether it's your son or Lin Chuan's mother, both are lives. So don't be too smug. A life for a life, let this matter end here, if you insist on pursuing it to the end, this old man will keep you company."
After saying that, the old General turned and walked away.
"Take him away!" the guard Xiao Liu said.
Then, several people imdiately rushed forward and took Lin Chuan away.
"Lin Chuan." Tang Yung and others quickly surrounded him.
"Sister!" Lin Chuan looked at Tang Yung with a smile, said, "Sorry to have worried you."
"It's nothing, as long as you're okay, all the worry is worth it." Tang Yung said excitedly.
Song Xiaojia seriously said, "Lin Chuan, don't be so impulsive next ti."
"Xiao Jia, the mont you took off your police uniform just now was really cool," Lin Chuan praised.
"Really?" Song Xiaojia's face slightly flushed as she said, "I was just telling the truth. I've beco sowhat disillusioned with the style of so people in the country."
"You'll gradually get used to it," Lin Chuan said earnestly.
Nuo Xiaoxi had already thrown herself onto Lin Chuan, hugging him tightly. Days of worry and grievances made her feel suffocated. She held Lin Chuan tightly and said, "Brother Lin..."
Nuo Xiaoxi kept sobbing.
"Don't worry, nothing will happen to Brother Lin," Lin Chuan comforted her. "Have you forgotten? Brother Lin promised to personally see you off to Jiang Province for school, right?"
"Yes!" Nuo Xiaoxi nodded excitedly.
Lin Chuan smiled as he looked at Mu Bai outside the crowd, saying, "Mu Bai, you've also had a tough ti this round."
"I haven't had it that tough," Mu Bai turned her head and said disdainfully, "I was just lending a hand. Besides, I wasn't helping you, but because I couldn't stand Song Ming. So, don't thank . If you must thank soone, thank Song Ming!"
"Haha..." Lin Chuan imdiately burst into laughter.
Mu Bai thought for a mont, suddenly realizing her words seed sowhat contradictory. Her face flushed slightly, she said, "Anyway, I wasn't doing it for you. Just consider it for your kindness. The Hope Primary School you sponsored has already found a rental space, and the education leader is helping us with arrangents. Soon, a large batch of students will co to our school. Later on, we can appoint you as an honorary principal."
"Sure!" Lin Chuan imdiately nodded.
Finally, Lin Chuan was taken away by two guards.
Everyone watched as Lin Chuan and the others left, finding it sowhat incredible. In their lifetis, to see a General rescuing soone in a courtroom was sothing sensational. It was mind-boggling. Song Ming trembled with rage.
"Absurd, absurd!" Song Ming exclaid angrily as he slamd the table, "Under the broad daylight, this... this is no different than a bandit... banditry!"
"Vice-Secretary Song, don't be anxious," Zhang Tianhua said with furrowed brows.
"Director Zhang, is there really anything that can be done?" Song Ming was overwheld with grief, feeling unable to avenge his son. He suddenly felt a wave of sadness erging from the depths of his heart. The helpless pain made Song Ming feel imnsely heavy-hearted.
"I'll call the old minister," Zhang Tianhua said quickly. "Maybe, there's still a chance to salvage the situation."
"Okay, I'll leave it to you then," hearing there was still a chance, Song Ming's eyes suddenly shone with a glimr of hope.
Since the defendant was taken away, the sentencing could naturally not continue. Zhang Tianhua took Song Ming back to the office behind the court and personally called the old minister. The old minister was determined to help Song Ming. Song Ming's situation was concerning._CPP_0 _CPP_14 the ministry had ordered a judge to be sent from the central governnt.
But, he had no idea that this case was no ordinary case.
"What?" The old minister was stunned and said, "Did you say soone barged into the courtroom and took the defendant, Lin Chuan, away?"
"Yes!" Zhang Tianhua imdiately nodded and said, "It really happened, just half an hour ago. So... I wanted to ask you, are we still handling this case? Given the opposition's influence, it seems significant."
"No matter how influential they are, can they be above the law?!" the old minister harshly questioned.
"This..." Zhang Tianhua was instantly at a loss for words.
The old minister imdiately said, "We must handle this matter. To dare to cause disruption in the court is ridiculous. Also, find out which military unit did this terrible deed, daring to burst into the courtroom and abduct soone. This is an outright disregard for the law."
"I... I heard them say... he seems to be the Commander of the Beijing Military Region. Nad... Chen Zhenlin," Zhang Tianhua hurriedly said, "I don't know if it's true."
"What?!" The old minister was so shocked his jaw almost dropped to the floor.
Speaking of which, he of course knew Chen Zhenlin. Both being in Beijing and from the sa era, how could he not know him? Although they didn't interact normally, he was certainly familiar with these high-ranking military officers. Hearing that Chen Zhenlin stord the court, he was so shocked he didn't dare to make a sound for a long while.
"Old minister, are we still handling this matter?" Zhang Tianhua asked urgently.
"Hold on," the old minister hurriedly said. "Tell , what's the... defendant's na."
"Lin Chuan!" Zhang Tianhua said.
"Which Lin, which Chuan," the old minister urgently confird.
"The Lin of 'forest,' the Chuan of 'rivers'," Zhang Tianhua imdiately said.
"Oh my," the old minister slapped his forehead and said, "You... you rascals, always causing trouble. Lin Chuan is a devil beyond your capability to provoke?"
"Old minister... this... does Lin Chuan really have so background?" Zhang Tianhua asked urgently.
