To Love You Again

Chapter 823  Why Carry it Alone?

823  Why Carry it Alone?

....

It was late in the afternoon when Lu Yin Ze returned to the mansion. Standing there motionlessly, watching the clear sky with complex thoughts, Lu Yin Ze finally remembered that he still had guests waiting for him.

He forced himself to return.

Xiong Zhi, Linfeng, and Tang Yin stayed. Even though lunch was offered to them, no one had the appetite to eat right now.

Upon seeing them, Lu Yin Ze regained his smile, although it was shallow and a bit lifeless.

"I apologized for my rude behavior. I was...taken aback." He swallowed as he tried to fight the heavy feeling in his heart.

Tang Yin could see how heavy the blow this news was to Lu Yin Ze. Earlier he was still smiling vibrantly with expectations in life. But after leaving so suddenly, he returned with a desolate figure. As if he had aged for many years in just a span of a few hours. Tang Yin bit her lips. The person who could make this guy smile had been taken away. There was nothing she could do.

Tang Yin glanced at Xiong Zhi asking for help. Xiong Zhi looked at her. She too was hopeless. In this case, they could not break out Lu Jin from the institute. This process was something Lu Jin needed to do.

Tang Yin finally speak.

"Don't think it is the end of the world for you and your brother. Big brother Linfeng and Xiong Zhi are here to help you in your brother's case. He would surely come out unscratched."

Lu Yin Ze looked at them gratefully. He gave them a deep bow. "Thank you. I appreciate all your help."

Xiong Zhi and Linfeng were silent. For some reason, they could not accept this bow.

"...Can I meet my brother for once? Truthfully, I haven't been able to say goodbye." Lu Yin Ze suddenly asked. He wanted to say many things to his brother. That one week was not enough for Lu Yin Ze. He wanted to ask Lu Jin why he did not tell him about this. Why does he keep carrying problems on his own when the two of them already agreed to depend on each other. Lu Yin Ze also wanted to encourage his brother. To give him a sense of comfort and security that he would work hard in his case and would wait for him.

He wanted to tell him to not worry about him and the company. He wanted to tell him so many things. His thanks, his forgiveness, and his promises.

Linfeng and Xiong Zhi looked at each other.

Linfeng could only disappoint Lu Yin Ze, "I am sorry. We can't meet him yet not until Ming Zhi Yi's trial."

Lu Yin Ze turned silent. He fought back his tears. He nodded. "I see."

Xiong Zhi and Linfeng knew that they could not discuss anything right now. So they gave him space.

"We will come back tomorrow to discuss your brother's case. Take a rest first."

Lu Yin Ze could only nod. He instructed his butler to escort them out as he did not have the mind and heart to see them off.

Right now, his mind was scattered. Lu Yin Ze sat on the chair heavily. He felt his body was losing strength. "Why do you have to carry those alone brother?" Lu Yin Ze muttered sorrowfully.

Was he not a trustworthy person for his brother?

He revisited the days they were together. His brother would smile warmly and gently at him. All this time, behind those warm smiles and peaceful times, his brother was actually carrying such heavy difficulties.

Lu Yin Ze was resentful. Why he did not get a hint that his brother was prepared to face his transgression?

Lu Yin Ze could only blame himself not his bother. Because if he had known that fact, he would have migrated Lu Jin out of the country and hid him away.

He would rather fly back and forth to spend time with his brother rather than let his brother suffer in prison.

His eyes were filled with tears again.

He was really a selfish and irresponsible little brother. His big brother knew it and had no choice but to carry those weights again.

The tears he thought had dried welled up again and flowed. He just cried there silently like a child.

When his tears stopped, he finally looked up. He saw a clean handkerchief on the corner of the table.

He wondered for a moment who left it here but he still took it and wipe his tears away.

After venting out his heavy heart, Lu Yin Ze's muddle mind cleared.

Right. Xiong Zhi and Linfeng would come back tomorrow to discuss his brother's case.

09:50

Lu Yin Ze fisted his fist. He would get his brother back. No matter how long it takes.

When the young man left the room, Tang Yin who was hiding behind the pillar in the seating room's hallway sighed.

"I am not really good at handling crying men. What should I do now?"

Tang Yin was starting to regret agreeing to stay here. It was just that facing an annoying Lu Yin Ze was better than facing the crybaby side of him.

While the public started to calm down despite their questions remained unanswered, the cause of turmoil was currently held up in a private hospital.

It's been more than a month since the capture of Ming Zhi Yi on the foot of the Qian mountain.

When they took him, the man was laughing madly despite the poor state of his body. Before they could question him, the man fainted, leaving his battered body to only have a breath left.

But how could they let this criminal who shook the world die easily like that? They brought his almost dead body to the hospital and spared a lot just to revive him.

The doctor who was in charge exclaimed after seeing his broken body.

 "Who fought with this man? He shattered his bones and some of his organs. Even if we cured him with the help of our best doctors and technology, this man would not be able to move nor eat well. We can just barely maintain his life."

The person who answered the doctor was not the people from the national police but an old man wearing a grave face.

"That would be enough. Just keep him alive. It would be better if he remained paralyzed in the little time he had. After all, he would be facing a death sentence."

The doctor immediately recognized the old man.

"Master Xiong." He then saw behind Old Xiong was an old woman who seemed dispirited and tired. "Madame Tang."

The two old people nodded at the well-known doctor.

"Please notify us once that bastard woke up."

"Yes. The hospital will contact you."

The hatred that the four families wanted to vent on Ming Zhi Yi could only be delayed until the man could face his trial.

Now that the man had been awake for a week, the people who watched him closely were all notified.

But the bureau and the federal wanted to oversee this situation. Since Ming Zhi Yi was not just the legendary families' enemy but also a terrorist who received red notice from the AN* governments.

They wanted to publicly put him down. A villain who would receive his punishment was the best show they could give to the public. The victim's family's wrath would then be appeased.
