An Exclusive love-Chapter 458 - The Situation in the Court Reversed
Jiang Rui told Chen Chen about the long story. Chen Chen didn’t clearly understand some complicated parts, but she knew Jiang Rui would be fine, and that’s enough.
“Be a good girl. I’m sorry for leaving you alone at home these days. If you’re afraid, you can invite Zhou Yiyun home.”
He had originally wanted Tuan Zi to accompany Chen Chen, but in that case, Chen Chen would feel that something was wrong. In order to reassure her, Jiang Rui had to make no other arrangements, but he still didn’t feel relieved to leave her alone at home.
“Don’t bother. I’m not a kid.” Chen Chen was finally relieved. Her sweet voice made Jiang Rui’s heart so itchy.
Later, he hushed Chen Chen to sleep. He didn’t hang up the phone until there were uniform breathing sounds over the other side of the phone.
Jiang Rui rubbed his paralyzed arm and stood up.
“Come in.”
Bai Ziqi opened the door and came in. It was a separate bedroom. No one knew that in the Special Action Force, there were actually some hotel-like rooms in addition to the prison cells.
“What’s your plan?” Bai Ziqi had no time to pay attention to his title and asked, “Would you like to ruin the Lu family?”
Jiang Rui glanced at him. “Your sister…”
“My sister is in a bad mood these days. She can’t be irritated any more.”
Jiang Rui sat down. “So you are hiding from her the news that Han Xueying is pregnant. Or do you believe that Lu Tao will keep his words and give your sister the baby who will be considered as her child?
Seeing Bai Ziqi’s facial expression changed, Jiang Rui added, “Mr. Bai doesn’t care about what happens to Bai Weirong, and he only cares about you and the Bai family. But you can’t, so you collect the information about Lu Tao privately.”
“Do, do you know it all?” Bai Ziqi felt awkward and sat opposite to Jiang Rui. “Bother, Brother Jiang,” He said with the pleading in his eyes, “I don’t want Weirong’s last hope to be broken. As long as I am in the military and the Bai family does not decline, he must respect and support my sister.”
Bai Ziqi was also shocked to know what Lu Tao had done. He didn’t expect his Grandpa to misjudge a person.
“Do you think that he will tolerate being under your pressure?” Jiang Rui sarcastically said, “Once he gets rid of me, he will deal with the Bai family next.”
Bai Ziqi hurried to say, “I know he’s no match for you. You…”
“Well, let’s talk about the Bai family.” Jiang Rui looked at him. “Do you know that Lu Tao tampered with the last batch of military vehicles? What’s more, all the evidence indicates that it was Mr. Bai who asked him to do it. At that time, the Bai family will be done. ”
“How is it possible…?” Bai Ziqi stood up abruptly. “How dare he?”
Jiang Rui glanced at him. “Why didn’t he dare?”
“The information you found is just the tip of the iceberg. Make a further investigation. Pay attention to Eastern Europe.”
Bai Ziqi was horrified. “You, you mean…”
Jiang Rui waved his hand. “Find the truth by yourself.”
Bai Ziqi stumbled away. He knew what Eastern Europe meant. If Lu Tao really had links with terrorists, Grandpa would definitely not let him go.
Chen Chen was awakened by the doorbell, rubbed her eyes while opening the door, and saw Zhou Yiyun standing outside.
“I knew that you haven’t gotten up!” Zhou Yiyun walked in, shaking the cake box in her hand.
She took off her hat and sunglasses. “Scar said that you like the dessert at this shop best. Wash your face first and come to eat.”
Chen Chen ran to the bathroom, washed herself and cleared her minds, and then came over while clapping her hands. “Why are you here? Have you been discharged?”
“I didn’t break my foot. Scar returned to the army today. He said that you were also alone, so he let me come over to accompany you!” Zhou Yiyun held a plate and asked, “Can it be used for the cake?”
She was holding two cartoon plates. “I feel so funny to imagine that Chief Jiang uses this plate!”
“Haha.” Chen Chen was also amused. “Brother Xiao Rui didn’t talk about it. It was he who bought this plate!”
Zhou Yiyun cut Chen Chen a piece of cake. “Well, I’m afraid that no one believes that Chief Jiang lives his life like this at home!”
Additionally, neither would they believe that Jiang Rui could be so nice to a woman.
“You can have such a husband too!” Chen Chen glanced at her. “Scar will also care about his wife. Bear is a good example. You can see how nice Bear is to Ah Zi!”
Zhou Yiyun deliberately ignored her words. “I also bought some food. Let me cook lunch!”
“Is your arm okay?”
“You can cut up the food and I’ll just cook them.”
The rumor that Jiang Rui had been locked up for three days was spreading around. Jiang Qianren went to talk to his superior every day, and even Mr. Jiang also personally had a talk with the highest-ranking officials. But there was no any news that Jiang Rui would be released.
Besides on the fourth day, he would be even taken to the military court for trial in public.
At night, Bear specially came over to tell her that Jiang Rui would be on trial tomorrow. “Boss told that if you want to go to the court, I can come to pick you up tomorrow.”
“Of course I want!” Chen Chen said immediately, “It’s okay?”
“Okay, but there must be a lot of reporters. You just ignore them then.”
Chen Chen nodded and said, “Yeah, I know.”
The next day, Bear drove her and Ah Zi to the court. Lots of reporters gathered at the entrance, so that being surrounded by the reporters, they could not move any further.
“Mrs. Jiang, do you know if Chief Jiang killed someone?”
“If Chief Jiang is sentenced, will the Wan family take any action?”
“Mrs. Jiang, say something!”
Scar and Xiao Si rushed out, followed by a few people. They stood around Chen Chen and took her into the court.
“Oh my God. How terrible!” Ah Zi patted herself on the chest. “I think I’m going to be trampled to death by those reporters.”
Bear led them to the front row and sat down. “That’s all they can do.”
Seeing Chen Chen looking serious, Scar patted her and said, “Mrs. Jiang, you don’t have to be so nervous. Boss has already planned everything!”
“Okay, I’m not nervous.”
“So why are you shaking?” Ah Zi despised her. “Anyway, you are Chief Jiang’s wife. How can you feel scared in such a scene?”
Chen Chen had no time to reply her, holding Scar and asking, “Where is Brother Xiao Rui?”
“He will come out of that door.” Scar pointed at the door on the left. “Take it easy. You will know he’s all right when you see Boss.”
A few minutes later, the court opened a court session. Jiang Rui came in, still wearing military uniform and looking just like usual. Bai Ziqi stood beside him and smiled at Chen Chen.
The judge first declared the charges against Jiang Rui who was accused of privately killing the Lu brothers. Then Lu Tao, who was the victim, was asked to be seated.
“My two uncles thought Jiang Rui had killed his cousin, so they secretly wanted to get even with him. However, they had been arrested by Jiang Rui’s men before they took action. That night they told me on the phone that Jiang Rui would not let them go and asked me to help them call the police,” Lu Tao said.
“But before I had time to call the police, I had received the news that they had been arrested. Later, I tried to find them, only to know that my uncles were not locked up in the police station but was taken away by Jiang Rui in private.”
After Lu Tao finished speaking, he looked at Jiang Rui with grief and indignation. “Chief Jiang, where have you hidden my uncles’ bodies? Let them be laid to rest!”
“Don’t you know the location?” Jiang Rui said lightly, “You have already asked someone to look for them, haven’t you?”
Lu Tao looked at the judges. “Yes, because I am in a hurry, I have already sent someone for their corpses. They will bring the news back soon.”
After saying that, he lowered his head with a sad look, trying hard to refrain from laughing.
“Jiang Rui, I’ll see how you defend yourself this time.” It took him half a month to find the whereabouts of his two uncles. He had learned that they had both been secretly killed by Jiang Rui, and that their bodies had been disposed of.
It took a lot of effort for his followers to find some bloodstained garments and relics.
Two people came in, one of whom carried a large box.
“Your Honor, we have tested what is inside. It is indeed the blood of the Lu brothers.”
The staff showed everything inside; in addition to some clothes stained with blood, there were also the lighters and watches.
“Jiang Rui, what else do you want to say now?” Lu Tao shouted bitterly. “Your Honor, please make a just judgement. The Lu family should be treated with justice.”
The judge looked at Jiang Rui and asked, “There are your fingerprints in these reports. Do you need to explain anything?”
Jiang Rui still looked very calm. “I have nothing to explain.”
“You confessed?” Lu Tao froze. He also prepared a lot to say. How could Jiang Rui confess so quickly…?
“Confessed? No.” Jiang Rui turned to look at Bear. “Now it’s my turn.”
Bear stood up and handed a document to the messenger. The judge took it and opened it, and then frowned.
“I think these should be submitted to an ordinary court.” The judge glanced at Jiang Rui.
Jiang Rui nodded. “I have no opinion.”
“What are you doing?” Lu Tao got anxious. “Shouldn’t he be tried first?”
Scar was standing at the door, and interrupted Lu Tao who was shouting. “Our boss doesn’t need to be tried because your two uncles are still alive.”
“Nonsense!” Lu Tao shouted, “Your Honor, why don’t you stop them? So many reporters are waiting outside. Will you let him off for your own sake?”
“Lu Tao, you beast!” A roar came in, which made Lu Tao shiver. He turned around slowly, opening his eyes extremely widely and pointing at the two people coming in. “Uncle…?”
The Lu brothers rushed to catch him and hit him.
“I’ll kill you beast to avenge my son!”
The bailiffs hurried to stop their fighting, and the judges also rebuked them for causing trouble in court.
“Since the Lu brothers were not dead, Jiang Rui should be released in court.”
Lu Tao was pinned on the ground by the bailiffs, feeling dizzy and looking at Jiang Rui.
“It turned out that you have already known that. You, you did these things on purpose. You set me up!”
Jiang Rui came to him. “You are not qualified to be my opponent. This is your own fault.”
“No!” Lu Tao struggled to stand up. “I don’t believe it. I didn’t lose… I didn’t lose…”
Lu Tao’s younger uncle gave him a hard punch. “From today on, you have nothing to do with the Lu family. I will let you stay in jail for a lifetime!”
The bailiffs took Lu Tao away. At the same time, the Lu brothers could not be safe and sound. They hurt Chen Chen, and Jiang Rui would not let them go so easily.
“The Lu family is done.” Bai Ziqi sighed. “By the way, Han Xueying ran away.”
Jiang Rui turned and smiled. “She can’t run away.”
“You’ve considered everything…” Bai Ziqi smiled bitterly. “I thought I lose to you just because of my disadvantages in age and experience. Now I’ve learned that you’re much better than me.”
“It’s good for you to know that.” Jiang Rui walked past him, and then he added, “You’re… Pretty good.”
