To Love You Again

One day was not enough to go through it all.

On the morning of the second day, the news on television, the articles on social media, and the gossips of every household were full of Ming Zhi Yi\'s case. The exposed crimes become a hot topic among citizens. The authorities who were involved with Ming Zhi Yi were too dragged down and were exposed one by one.

As the number of people who came to see Ming Zhi Yi outside the Supreme Court tripled, the number of police forces increased as well. The area outside the building was noisy and disorderly.

When Ming Zhi Yi appeared and was about to be escorted inside, a person\'s loud scream sounded amidst the exclamations of others.

"Demon! You deserve to die!" A rotten egg was thrown and it hit Ming Zhi Yi\'s head.

This become the signal of the others who also brought rotten eggs. They cursed Ming Zhi Yi and threw the rotten eggs at him. Some even brought a bucket of dirty fish water and threw it over at Ming Zhi Yi.

The police officers immediately pushed forward Ming Zhi Yi. However, the public outrage was too much. Because of the chaos, some people managed to come near to Ming Zhi Yi and pulled his hair. Even though the officers managed to stop the people from hurting the paralyzed more, the damage has been done. A chunk of Ming Zhi Yi\'s hair was pulled. His clothes were wet and disheveled. He smelled of rotten fish and rotten eggs.

Some of the eggshells stuck on his face and neck. He was really messed up by the public.

Ming Zhi Yi\'s eyes that looked blank finally looked up. This humiliation made his heart swell in anger. A bitter rusty taste filled his mouth. He glanced around with a menacing gaze in his eyes.

But his threatening eyes won\'t fool anyone. As a paralyzed man, these ignorant people were not afraid of him.

In response to his gaze, the people continued to spill their curses at him.

Ming Zhi Yi wished he could kill everyone here and buried the people here under rotten eggs and waste. But he could only hold his anger in and tightly clutch his fist.

When Ming Zhi Yi entered the court, the cameras inside caught this pitiful sight of him. His disheveled state and his sorry-looking figure would surely be plastered everywhere. Humiliating Ming Zhi Yi to the core.

The smell of rotten eggs and dirty fish water was strong and expanded in the court. But despite this, they still continued the trial ignoring the pitiful sight of the paralyzed man.

As expected, the more the case dragged on, the more crimes and inhumane things that Ming Zhi Yi had done were exposed. Throughout the trial, Ming Zhi Yi remained silent. He did not even speak once during these two days.

On the third day, the number of citizens and media doubled once more.

This time, to ensure Ming Zhi YI\'s safety, the police\'s number doubled. They lined up side by side to prevent the previous incident to happen.

More rotten eggs were thrown. They fall on Ming Zhi Yi\'s feet. Paving the way for his humiliation.

When Ming Zhi Yi was out of their sight, the citizen\'s anger finally calm down. Just as they were about to open their phones to watch the live trial, dozens of police cars arrived and stopped in front of the entrance.

The people were taken aback by the number of the police. Some people recognized the newcomer team and whispered.

"Hey, isn\'t that the security team from the witness protection program?"

"Oh. Was it the rumored key witness? Who could it be?"

"To be escorted by this number of security, what kind of man is he?"

They waited with anticipated hearts. Their phones and cameras were on stand-by.

The security team lined up. They were more organized than the earlier team. The door opened and a tall man come down.

When the reporters saw his face, they were dumbfounded. For a moment, they forgot the cameras in their hand.

"...T-that person....is it Lu Jin?!"

This was like a wake-up call that made everyone panic. They immediately captured Lu Jin\'s face.

Some brave people tried to squeeze themselves between the security team and expanded their mic to Lu Jin.

"Did you come here to testify against Ming Zhi Yi?"

"You are his accomplice all over the years. What made you come here today?"

"Are you trying to lessen your punishment by testifying?"

"Do you think the victim\'s family would forgive you even if you testify against him?"

09:04

Their questions fall on deaf ears. Lu Jin went in unimpeded.

The people who were left behind stared at his back.

"We have almost forgotten Lu Jin. He is the right-hand man of Ming Zhi Yi. Did he come here to help Ming Zhi Yo or to testify against him?"

"I am not sure. But even if he testifies against Ming Zhi Yi, his crimes are still heavy. He won\'t be able to avoid the punishment given by the law."

"That Lu Jin? I heard he was in cahoots with Gunan. They are both drug lords and he killed many people under his father\'s orders. He should receive the death sentence as well."

Many people agreed with the person who speak the latter sentence. For them, Ming Zhi Yi and Lu Jin were just the same. ***

Inside the court, Prosecutor Huo presented the evidence of Ming Zhi Yi\'s illegal tradings and his underground market.

"According to the informant, the defendant created his organization and let it run amock for twenty years. This flash drive consists of the illegal tradings and smuggling of Ming Zhi Yi\'s underground organization with different companies worldwide."

Ming Zhi Yi\'s eyes glanced at the screen. He recognized the files. It was all his dealings from the past and current years. Only two people had a copy of this.

His eyes flashed darkly.

The FBI and INTERPOL were more interested in this case. They looked at the evidence on the screen without blinking.

The audience was not surprised anymore. Ming Zhi Yi had done much more inhumane crimes than this. That whatever crimes were disclosed next would not take them by surprise.

"All the evidence that I presented to you is not possible without the informant trusting us with this information. He risked his life by cooperating with us. I would like to ask the judge to accept the informant to testify today."

After receiving the judge\'s agreement, the door opened.

A tall man was escorted by two police. He was brought to the witness stand.

When Lu Yin Ze saw the newcomer, his heart jumped.

It was his brother, Lu Jin.

Lu Jin stood tall with an expressionless face. He was unfazed by the gazes of the people that were thrown at him.

He looked up and immediately saw his brother in the first row. Seeing his brother was looking at him with a worried and yearning gaze, Lu Jin\'s expression finally moved. He gave Lu Yin Ze a slight smile.

Lu Yin Ze stared at his brother\'s smiling face. He shook his head to compose himself and smiled in return at him. He wanted to show his brother his support and his encouragement. That his big brother had nothing to worry about.

Seeing that Lu Yin Ze\'s mental health seemed to be in a good condition these past days, Lu Jin sighed in relief. He then looked back at the person who looked at him with a heated gaze.

Lu Jin met his father\'s eyes which gazed at him with so much menace.
