To Love You Again

Chapter 837: Execution Day

The fourteen days passed in a blink of an eye.

Even though the whole world's attention was divided into different cases that followed after the great Ming Zhi Yi case, a lot of people keep counting and numbering the days of the villain's execution.

On a certain social media platform, an influencer suddenly threw the first pebble in the wide still lake.

[Guys! Today is the fourteenth day! It's Ming Zhi Yi's execution day!]

His statement caused everyone's attention to turn to Ming Zhi Yi.

[Woah! I almost forgot! Let's ask the authorities to publicize Ming Zhi Yi's execution!]

[I marked my calendar today but did not put the label. If Mr. above did not announce this important day, I might have almost gone to work peacefully. More than ever, I want to watch Ming Zhi Yi's execution for a good time!]

[His retribution has come! I want to see him suffer after fourteen days in jail. As a cripple, what would be his state is?]

[I just want to watch him die. A demon like him should be washed away in the face of the earth!]

[I wonder if they would televise it. A great number of the victim's families wanted to attend his execution. The court could not keep the family's victims in one room.]

[He would have an easy death. But I still want to watch the man being electrified!]

[Let's watch Ming Zhi Yi's execution!]

[Televise it! Televise it!]

There were countless posts that tagged the department of justice and the national police from the public, demanding Ming Zhi Yi's execution to be televised. Before noon, the topic of Ming Zhi Yi had once again dominated the media.

As the whole world demanded to televise the execution, the atmosphere in the penal institution was quite solemn.

The four legendary families were perfect in attendance. Even Old Xiong and Mistress Tang personally attended.

There was still an hour left before the time for Ming Zhi Yi's execution starts.

The authorities only allowed the victim's families to watch through the closed-circuit TV since there were a great number of them. While the people who were greatly and directly involved such as the heirs- including Old Xiong, and Mistress Tang- were privileged to watch in the observation room.

The execution chamber was small and has a one-way mirror. On the other side of that mirror was the observation room where the heirs were staying at. There were speakers at the side that allowed them to hear the other side.

The atmosphere in the observation room was quite somber. Unlike the media who were aggressive and lively, the people inside the room had unsmiling faces. No one dared to speak nor gloated for putting the greatest villain to death today.

Their solemn eyes stared at the empty electric chair where Ming Zhi Yi would be at.

Fourteen days ago, all of them wanted Ming Zhi Yi to die the most.

Ming Zhi Yi no doubt deserved to die. They already prepared their hearts to watch the entire process of execution until the man had no breath left.

However, now they were sitting and facing the electric chair, they could not feel happiness from it. Instead, they felt dread. The atmosphere of death was so strong in the air that they almost suffocated.

Seeing and Imagining were different things.

It was only the old ones who had seen countless things that were slightly better.

Old Xiong suddenly broke the silence.

"....I will never forgive Ming Zhi Yi for hurting you, Zhi'er. He killed countless people and threw away other people's precious life like it was nothing. One less person like him would make the current world more at peace."

Old Xiong's words seemed like a window that let out the suffocating air dispersed.

For these young heirs, putting someone to death and watching it with their own eyes seemed to be manageable, especially if the subjected person was a monster that doesn't deserve their guilt, however, they were still people who never hurt or tortured another person before. So, they don't know what to feel at the moment.

"I am not regretting putting Ming Zhi Yi to jail or watching him die. Don't worry, grandfather. Ming Zhi Yi would be the last person who could threaten us and made us watch another person die."

Xiong Zhi unconsciously touched the scar on her arm as she speak.

Unlike the other heirs, she had already come prepared. In her past life, she had lost hope and almost give up on her life. She was tortured for five years and lived with a beast. Because she doesn't know anything, she was not able to even have a glance at the true devil who schemed in the dark.

Because of Ming Zhi Yi, the four families were destroyed. If Xiong Zhi and the other heirs did not work together, there would be more deaths. So how could she forgive a devil like him or give him pity or spend guilt?

She knew very well that forgiveness with people like Ming Zhi Yi was something they don't deserve.

Perhaps, only if he lived in atonement for their next few lives he would be allowed to have peace.

Linfeng hold Xiong Zhi's hand. He brought down the hand that was tracing the scar into his.

"If you can't bear it, you can close your eyes," Linfeng whispered to her.

For Linfeng, his young miss might be strong. But she was still a lady. A lady should not see unpleasant things.

Xiong Zhi nodded.

On the other side, Lu Yin Ze's back was straight. His eyes were staring ahead. He was expresionless. No one could tell what the young man was thinking at the moment.

A hand suddenly appeared in front of him.

Lu Yin Ze did not notice the hand at first, since his mind was on something else until the owner of the hand spoke in annoyance.

"My hand is going to be numb. Do you want to hold it or not?" Tang Yin's voice woke up Lu Yin Ze from the daze.

"...What?"

Tang Yin sighed. She offered her hand again.

"Want to hold mine?"

Lu Yin Ze blinked. "Why?"

Tang Yin: "..." She brought down her hand. "Nevermind."

She looked away a bit embarrassed and vexed. She offered because she thought the man needs comfort.

She glanced at other people who were holding each other hands like they were in some kind of preparation for something they don't want to see.

Tang Xinyang's hand was held tightly by Jang Shin. Linfeng was covering Xiong Zhi's hand. Guan Gu Ri was holding his handkerchief tightly. Old Xiong was holding onto his cane and Mistress Tang's hand was fisted at the side.

Everyone's hand was holding something or tightly clenched.

It was only Lu Yin Ze whose hand seemed cold and pale.

And the only person besides Lu Yin Ze who could offer some sort of comfort was her. So she offered.

Who would have thought the man doesn't need it?

Agh...So embarrassing.

'Geez. I would never offer my hand again!'

Tang Yin coughed and mind her business.

Lu Yin Ze glanced at her hand then at the embarrassed Tang Yin. He just shook his head and then returned to looking at the other room. With bated breath, the young man waited for his nightmare to come and end today.

After waiting for an hour that felt like an eternity, the room at the execution chamber finally opened.
