Chapter 841: Lu Jin's sentence

The stories circulated in the public. Ming Zhi Yi's story sells well. In the process, a lot came to know Lu Jin, the eldest son who helped the authorities to stop his father's madness.

In one of the famous article blog, the comment section were lively as they talked about Ming Zhi Yi's craziness and his son's sacrifice.

[Ihavemindgraine: Ming Zhi Yi is definitely a psycho. He should hire a psychologist to treat him. How could he imprison his own child and threaten the other?]

[NeedRest: That's not the only crazy thing he did, he even poison to death his wife! If I am the son I would be really frightened to death.]

[HeckIwanttosleep: Have you guys forgotten? I watched the live trial. Lu Jin said that he invited his friend from the slums. He thought his father would help his friend but his father used his friend for evil means instead. I think that person's name is Gulan? Or is Gunan?

Anyway, when that friend of his was still a child, Ming Zhi Yi made him kill his wife. Imagine Lu Jin's horror when he learned of this. His friend killed his own mother!]

[DehydratedMe: I watch the live too and remembered this! I shuddered when I heard the story. I thought at first Lu Jin was Ming Zhi Yi's accomplice. But it looks like he was caught up in the mess.??? ]

[Drowsygoaway: I thought so too. I even cursed at Lu Jin. But after I know the truth, my heart aches for him. Having a father like Ming Zhi Yi, Lu Jin did well in not becoming the second Ming Zhi Yi.]

[CanIstop: Imagine Lu Jin's hardship and sacrifice! I bet he stayed behind all these years and gathered the evidence to bring down his evil father someday! I heard he was in the trial, I wish the court will pardon him!]

[NoYoucan't: Yeah! He endured and suffered throughout his childhood. He deserved to have a life now that his father is dead. Please pardon him!]

Many people shared their posts regarding the eldest son of Ming Zhi Yi. In a short time, many people were asking for Lu Jin's pardon.

#LuJIn's sacrifice

Lu Jin's reputation turned a hundred eighty degrees. After the truth was leaked, The public's opinion about him turned positive.

So when the day of Lu Jin's trial came, the petition was approved and his jail time was lessened greatly.

The original life sentence of prison service time had become fifteen years.

Fifteen years was long. While the world was constantly changing, Lu Jin's life would be stuck in prison.

The public cried for Lu Jin. For someone who lost his entire childhood and adulthood to a criminal, then living another fifteen years for the sins of his father, it was really a pitiful ending.

However, in Lu Jin's side, it was a happy thing.

After the trial, Lu Jin was send in the room with Linfeng and the team.

Bivia Chang was happy. "Fifteen years is not bad. Once Lu Jin has a good record for three years, we can petition a parole for an early release. I already talked about this with Huo Dian, he said Lu Jin has a great chance since the public opinion of him was positive. If Lu Jin helped in other cases, we can get the parole early. Perhaps in eight years, Lu Jin can be released."

Lu Yin Ze frowned. "Eight years is long. My brother doesn't deserve to rot in prison for eight years."

Lu Jin patted Lu Yin Ze's shoulder. "I think fifteen years is already a great deal for me. Eight years...is a very fortunate thing."

But Lu Yin Ze was not satisfied. "No, brother. You don't deserve that long. I think there are still ways for my brother to be released early than eight years.

Bivia Chang glanced at the two brothers and gave once more good news. "Actually, it's an inside news but I will still tell you. If Lu Jin cooperated in some other international cases such as the drug trafficking concerning underground operations with the feds, and the outcome is a success, it is possible for Lu Jin to come out earlier than eight years."

The people in the room were pleasantly surprised.

Linfeng glanced at Lu Jin. "This is a bit risky and may backlash to you. But we are here to support you. Will you take this offer?"

Linfeng's words was not empty words. He also has connections underground, and his brothers overseas have such great influence that even the underground market would be afraid to offend them. If the underground group targeted Lu Jin because of this, Linfeng was willing to block them for him.

Lu Jin did not hesitate. "Of course."

He looked gratefully at Linfeng, "If things come to worst, I will thicken my face and ask for your help."

"We are already friends, there's no need to ask."

The atmosphere in the room was good and the future seemed positive.

"Since Lu Jin will cooperate, they would be willing to give him a private cell with better conditions, right?" Xiong Zhi opened the topic of what would be Lu Jin's daily life in prison.

They have great connections and influence, however, this is a critical time. If they influence Lu Jin's living conditions and every matter concerning him, and it goes out public, this might affect Lu Jin's reputation. Using their power too much might also cause trouble.

This is a critical time, they could not afford to make mistakes.

Bivia Chang nodded. "No need to worry about that. Huo Dian chose a penitentiary with a good-natured warden and disciplined officers. He also checked Lu Jin's cell. It was simple and neat, not different from the cell Lu Jin was staying in before. All he needs would be there.

Since Lu Jin is also under protection witness, they would naturally treat him well."

Lu Yin Ze, Linfeng, and Xiong Zhi sighed in relief.

Lu Jin saw their reaction. A slight smile formed on his lips as he felt his chest warm.
