C19 Satisfied
Pei Luoluo muttered in her heart several times. Suddenly, the tears in her eyes could no longer be covered and flowed down her cheeks and onto the phone screen, soaking her hand.
These few short words really expressed his intentions. It also told Pei Luoluo that even though he already knew the truth, he was still willing to believe that she was innocent.
There was no need to ask her a single word and half a word. Clearly, all the major news reports were broadcasting. It was rumored on the Internet that the foul words of rumors were already unbearable to look at, but he was still the same as before. He was just her quiet and considerate male companion, just like what he had always said in front of her.
'I won't ask if you don't want to say it, but if you want to say it, I'm willing to listen. '
As she groped for her phone, Pei Luoluo typed the words' thank you 'on it. However, she felt powerless and deleted it just like that. It was only when the screen suddenly jumped and turned into a call that an unknown number appeared. Moreover, the number was a serial number.
After hesitating for a moment, Pei Luoluo took a deep breath and calmed her emotions before pressing the answer button. Before she could open her mouth, a familiar deep and pleasant magnetic voice sounded beside her ear, "Are you satisfied?"
"Thank you." Pei Luoluo answered very honestly. The strength that she had just cried had not completely recovered. Her voice was still accompanied by a choking and hoarse voice.
"Then, what about the answer you gave me?" Xiao Yichen's tone had always been very light, but Pei Luoluo could still feel his cold aura through the phone. She bit her lip and shook her head at the phone. "Xiao Yichen, I am very grateful that you settled this matter. But I cannot marry you because of my gratitude, and the trouble was caused by me. You are me, and I am the one who caused it. I can't say that I don't want to, but... At least for now, I can't..."
Pei Luoluo finished speaking in one breath and realized that the other party seemed to have hung up long ago, causing her mind to be at a loss.
When did she hang up? Was he listening to her? There was no way to verify this. Pei Luoluo only felt that she had made things more and more complicated and deviated from her path. She stared at the phone in a daze, not knowing what to do.
In the villa in Junyi World, Xiao Yichen's expression towards the bathtub was extremely dark. He had just been lying inside and making a call, but he accidentally slipped his phone and fell into the water with a dong sound.
What did Pei Luoluo say just now? He heard the word thank you and then his phone came into close contact with the water. Xiao Yichen took a deep breath, got up, wrapped his bathrobe, and walked to the bedroom to take out another phone. He called Lee Jie.
"Uh... Hello?" Lee Jie yawned and scratched his neck as he sat up from the car. In the blink of an eye, he saw that it was Xiao Yichen calling. He quickly sat up straight and shouted respectfully at the top of his lungs, "Director Xiao!"
"My phone is useless. Get me a new one before I go to work tomorrow. Also, there must be a list of names on it. Yes, I'm getting a pink one." After saying that, Xiao Yichen hung up the phone.
Lee Jie looked at the phone and almost cried. Every time he picked up Xiao Yichen's phone, he was on tenterhooks. When he was done, he hung up without giving Xiao Yichen a chance to speak.
Not to mention that Xiao Yichen's phone calls were imported, it would take him at least two or three days to go back and forth. It was not like Xiao Yichen, getting a private helicopter was enough to do anything.
"Miss Pei, you said Director Xiao wanted me to follow you closely. He asked me to do something over here. Sigh! When did I ever owe him? " Lee Jie scratched the back of his head and muttered to himself at the building opposite him. He was extremely depressed.
Ever since Xiao Yichen came forward, the disturbance of getting drunk and stopping a car could be considered to have passed. Although there were still some unilateral excavations, they were all left unsolved. Pei Luoluo also did not feel at ease anymore. After staying in her hometown for more than a week, she had been busy with Lee Hui's case. Zhang Chen also followed up on the development of the case the next day.
In the end, she sentenced Lee Hui to death because he could not properly deal with marriage and family disputes. And to dismember her corpse, her actions constitute the crime of intentional murder, and her methods are cruel. The consequences were severe, and he should be punished according to the law. Due to this case being caused by a family dispute, there is a certain degree of error in the cause of this case caused by the victim, Zhang. After Lee Hui returned to the case, he told the truth about the crime and sentenced Lee Hui to death. He would not execute it immediately. The original conviction was that the facts and the conviction were correct. The trial process was legal. However, if the sentence was not sentenced properly, Lee Hui would be sentenced to death according to the law, and the sentence would be suspended for two years. He was stripped of political rights for life.
In fact, there were many times when Pei Luoluo was immune to the public opinion of the outside world. When it came to Lee Hui, he killed people and dismembered their bodies. Even if he had his reasons and secrets, he could not forgive his crimes. No one was fated to commit a crime. There was always a bottom line that he had to suffer from damage or mental pressure, which would lead to his extreme actions.
It was just like how Lee Hui had been mentally tortured by his wife for a long time. She had cheated on him and humiliated his dignity as a man. He had been unable to find a proper way to deal with marriage, day after day, and he had made a big mistake. Perhaps he was a good man in front of his family, friends, and neighbors, but it did not mean that he was a good man and a good husband. That was why he looked at people from many sides.
To Pei Luoluo, Lee Hui was the uncle who loved her since she was young. She had feelings that she could not part with, so she came back to help him. Even though the outside world would scold her as the murderer's debtor, it was selfish. But weren't people always like this? People who wanted to protect themselves had always been selfish. In fact, they will even try to cover up for him, deceive him, and do it for the sake of his so-called protection.
"Luo Luo, Lee Hui's case is over. Do you want to go back with me?" Zhang Chen walked out of the court and asked Pei Luoluo, who had been silent all this while, while wearing a windbreaker.
"Master, I want to stay here and work."
Zhang Chen had thought that Pei Luoluo would one day return to her hometown and spend a peaceful and ordinary life with her parents, but that was only something that might happen in the distant future. He was still a little stunned when Pei Luoluo suddenly mentioned it.
"I want to stay..." Pei Luoluo said and became less and less confident. After Lee Hui's case, she suddenly felt that she had missed out on a lot of things that could be accompanied by her dearest family.
Just like Lee Hui, he had nothing in one night. Even his most beloved daughter could not watch her get married and have children with her own eyes. It even brought more burden and pressure to her.
"I have no objections to you staying. This is your choice. But if you are running away, afraid of facing more death row criminals in the future... Then let me tell you, when you choose this line... You should have this kind of resolution! " Zhang Chen's tone was a little tough, even though he really wanted to discuss with Pei Luoluo about her current mood. He could also understand why she was so hesitant and helpless now.
However, she had to face it alone one day. No one could protect her for the rest of her life. Pei Luoluo still had her own path and needed to make her own choice.
