Uncle Nine, where are you running to?

The moment he saw Yiling, Cheng Ying immediately glared at the fat man. Jingzhi pinched his eyebrows, thinking that this time it was over.

"Why did you bring her here? Didn't she go back to the country?"

The fat guy has been busy following Cheng Ying these days and has had an irregular diet, so even his beer belly has become smaller.

At this moment, he swept away his previous dejection and quickly walked in front of Cheng Ying, his face somewhat relaxed. "Brother Ying, the ginseng you sent me is working!"

Cheng Ying looked puzzled. What ginseng?

Jingzhi is not someone who likes to take credit for himself.

She didn't know where to put her hands, so she could only cross her arms, lean against the cabinet at the entrance, and pretend that it had nothing to do with her.

The fat man scratched his head, "Didn't you guys give it to me?"

Yiling walked over quickly with tears in her eyes and started signing to Cheng Ying.

For two people, one is deaf and the other is mute, and sign language is a compulsory course. Naturally, they are extremely proficient in it and communication is very smooth.

Jingzhi was a little confused, so she turned around and asked the fat man, "Is Xiao Ma's mother still in trouble?"

"Not his mother, but his father."

Jing Zhixin mentioned, "Ah? Isn't his father quite healthy?"

The fat man walked over and sat down on the sofa, then took out a hospital diagnosis form from his leather jacket and handed it to her.

"His father was quite healthy, but he probably didn't get much sleep this month and his diet was irregular. His blood pressure was too low and he fainted. It was thanks to the ginseng Brother Ying sent that he was able to survive. Otherwise, I think he would have passed away."

Jingzhi didn't explain. She breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's okay."

The fat man managed a smile. "Xiao Ma's mother said she's not unreasonable. She won't appeal again, but she won't withdraw the previous lawsuit either."

"His family previously filed a lawsuit for intentional homicide. The lawyer we hired for Wei will do our best to defend him and have the charge determined to be manslaughter."

"As for how the judge decides, it all depends on God's will."

Manslaughter is only sentenced to 3-7 years, while intentional homicide is the most serious crime and can be sentenced to death. Most cases are life imprisonment.

Jingzhi listened silently. She couldn't express any opinion on this. If she were a relative, she would definitely choose to shoot Lin Wei.

I can only say that Xiao Ma's mother is kind by nature.

……

The two silent people over there who seemed to be forming seals finally finished their communication.

Yiling gave Jingzhi a wry smile, turned around and walked out, and the fat man hurriedly followed.

Silence returned to the room, but the atmosphere was not as solemn as before.

Cheng Ying sat back on the sofa, and the frown on his face that had been on for almost two months finally relaxed a little.

Jingzhi took Cheng Ying's mug, went to the water dispenser in the corner to get a glass of water, and walked to the coffee table to hand it to him.

"If his family doesn't appeal, he'll probably be sentenced directly at the next court hearing."

"Aying, you did everything you could."

"From now on, we can only leave it to fate."

Cheng Ying relaxed his body and sank into the soft sofa, with a look of resignation in his eyes.

【Xiaozhi, thank you.】

He also listened to what the fat man said just now. If he didn't do it, then it must be her.

Cheng Ying understood that she had no feelings for Lin Wei at all, but she loved him because of him.

"Between us, there's no need to say thank you." She pressed the side button of the phone on the table and glanced at the date. "The court hearing is on Wednesday. Today is Monday. Let's both take care of ourselves and not let your eldest brother worry."

The wounds on his face were almost healed, but his beard had grown longer.

Cheng Ying touched his chin and nodded.

……

The days of waiting are always torturous.

Fortunately, there is always someone who stays with him.

On Wednesday, Cheng Ying wore a suit and tie, and his hair was combed neatly. Apart from being a little thinner, he looked in good spirits.

As soon as the door opened, Fatty, Yiling, Xiao Yang, and a few familiar men, all dressed in formal attire, stood in the corridor with solemn expressions.

"Brother Ying, Sister Ling...she said she wanted to sit in on the class."

Jingzhi slowly closed her eyes, and for the first time she had the idea of ​​slapping the fat man.

Is this something that can be negotiated or compromised?

If Lin Wei was sentenced to death, Yiling would faint on the spot.

"I must... go. Even if you... don't take me... I can still... take a taxi... by myself."

Yiling gestured stubbornly, her sign language fast and urgent. She tried her best to express her determination in intermittent language.

The fat man couldn't bear it, so he turned his face to the wall and sniffed quietly.

After Cheng Ying was silent for more than ten seconds, he suddenly sighed softly and waved his hand outside. Jingzhi immediately understood what he was thinking.

Jingzhi: "...Let's set off."

……

The atmosphere in the courtroom was solemn. The judge was stating the case, and the clerk was writing beside him.

The audience was silent, no one spoke.

Both of Ma's parents came, their eyes dull and they looked exhausted.

Cheng Ying glanced over there, then looked at Lin Wei who had his back to them, and quietly held Jingzhi's hand on his knee.

His palms were already covered in sweat. Jingzhi knew he was nervous. She gently patted his tense thighs, silently comforting him.

"Based on the above charges, Lin Wei is sentenced to life imprisonment. Does the jury have any objections?"

Cheng Ying felt his head buzz and then went blank.

As expected, something happened to Yiling. She covered her mouth and cried so hard that she fainted.

Lin Wei's hands were handcuffed. He turned around and smiled at Cheng Ying and the others, whose faces were pale, and then cast a worried look at Yiling.

Of course, the jury had no objection. Not directly executing the death penalty for a gangster killing a police officer was already considered a pardon.

The auxiliary police officer received the judge's instructions and gently pushed Lin Wei.

It's time for him to go.

Lin Wei only had time to say "Take good care of her!" to the audience before he was taken out.

All the younger brothers saluted Lin Wei with red eyes.

Putting aside the matter of Xiao Ma, Lin Wei was really nice to this group of people.

Xiao Ma's mother has been troubled by this matter for a long time and she is tired.

Now she finally showed an expression of relief and satisfaction, and slowly walked out of the court gate with her husband.

Jingzhi looked at Cheng Ying with some worry. Seeing that he was sitting there and seemed to be nothing wrong, she hurriedly stood up to check on Yiling who was sitting on Cheng Ying's right.

The fat man was panicking, but when he glanced at her, he seemed to see his backbone, "Sister Jingzhi, you are a doctor, come and take a look at her!"

She didn't even need to take Yiling's pulse to know that she had a heart disease.

"Pinch her philtrum, then give her some warm water. Now that the matter is settled, let her go back as soon as possible."

"I know." The fat man's eyes were red as he told his men to work, while he pinched Yiling's philtrum with trembling hands.

One of his fat hands was shaking so badly that he didn't dare to pinch hard. Jingzhi sighed, stood up, stepped over Cheng Ying's knee, and pinched Yiling's philtrum quickly and accurately.

She woke up slowly, tears in her eyes.

I struggled to sit up straight and looked, but the dock was empty.

She couldn't hold it in anymore and burst into tears on the fat man's shoulder.

Jingzhi felt a little reluctant and was about to bend over to pat her shoulder when her hand was pulled back.

Cheng Ying held her hand tightly, rested his forehead on the back of her hand, and held his head tightly, breathing rapidly and disorderly.

Hot tears gathered from the back of her hand to her fingers, and splashed onto his knees with a few drops of water.

Knowing that he was very concerned about his reputation, Jingzhi gently held his head in her arms, hiding all his vulnerability.

After five or six minutes of rest, he coughed twice and straightened up.

He steadied his hands with a stern face, took out a notebook from his pocket and wrote:

The dance hall will be converted into a coffee shop. I will transfer Wei Ge's shares to Yi Ling, and I will also give her her annual dividends. Please bear witness to this.

The fat man waved his hand and refused, "That's not the case. I've also seen the document. Brother Wei has already agreed to give you the store. You don't have to do this. Besides, there's Sister Jingzhi. If you want to get married, you'll need money too."

Jingzhi glanced at the lonely and helpless Yiling, as if he saw himself who had gone crazy a few months ago.

"I have money, you don't have to worry about me." She patted the fat man's shoulder, "Aying is a man of his word. Now that he has said it, he has made up his mind. This is his wish, you don't need to persuade him anymore."

She followed Cheng Ying and stood up. Just as she was about to go out, she thought of something and turned back and said:

"A Ying has already sorted out the gang's accounts. You should divide the money and disband as soon as possible."

"I thought about what Xiao Yang said that day for a long time."

"The police have probably already set up a trap outside your base, just waiting to close in. That's all I have to say. Take care."

A group of younger brothers looked at each other, each with confusion in their eyes, not knowing where their future would go.

The fat man wiped his face vigorously, turned around and said to them with a smile, "Everyone, are you willing to follow me to run a grilled fish restaurant? Let's do a serious business. We can't let Sister Jingzhi look down on us."

"I do." Xiao Yang raised his hand first. After all, grilled sausages and grilled fish are grilled, so he has more or less learned how Cheng Ying did it.

When one person raises his hand, there will be a second, a third...

Jingzhi stood at the door of the court, holding Cheng Ying's hand and shaking it gently, "Everyone has their own path to take. You can only accompany them for a while, not for their entire lives. It's time to let go, Ah Ying."

……

After Lin Wei was sentenced to life imprisonment, he was transferred to another prison. This time, the prison was closer, in the next county.

A few years passed quickly, and Lin Wei's life sentence was commuted to fifteen years because of his good behavior in prison.

Later, due to policy changes, the fifteen-year period was changed to thirteen.

After that, there was no news of reprieve.

This incident helped Cheng Ying to ease some of the knot in his heart.

Three years later, Cheng Ying was sentenced to thirteen years. Only then did he agree to wear the ring Jingzhi bought for him.

"You, are you punishing me or yourself?"

She held out her hand to him and shook it gently.

He took her hand, gently put the engagement ring on her finger, then pulled it to his lips and kissed her finger reverently, including the ring.

[Xiaozhi, sorry to have kept you waiting. Let's get the marriage certificate.]

"Why not get married? Aren't you planning on having a wedding banquet?"

She didn't mind. The longer she lived, the less sensitive she became to these forms.

But he is different. He forgets everything in every life, which means that every wedding is very important to him.

Cheng Ying dodged and lowered his eyes. Without his elder brother Lin Wei, he always felt that something was missing at this banquet.

He still hoped that the law would show mercy one day...

【Sorry, it is possible to do it.】

"Forget it." She took his hand and placed it on her knee, gently touching his wedding ring with her fingertips. She felt a little upset and couldn't help but tap his forehead. "You, if you didn't like me, I would have thought you liked your eldest brother."

Cheng Ying was suddenly startled by her abrupt words.

I am not...

"I know~" She lowered her head and gently covered her flat belly, then tilted her head and smiled at Cheng Ying, "I have good news to announce today."

Cheng Ying opened his mouth slightly and moved his eyes from her face to her belly.

「You……you……」

"Even lip reading is stuck?"

As she spoke, she looked at his expression, "Aying, I'm pregnant. I'm already three months pregnant."

A hint of surprise suddenly appeared in Cheng Ying's eyes, but within two seconds it took a sharp turn for the worse and turned into panic.

[…How…how could that be? I was wearing it.]

Jingzhi clicked her tongue twice and shook her finger, "It doesn't necessarily mean you can't get pregnant if you wear it. It just means we are destined to have this child."

She narrowed her eyes at him and asked, "You don't want it?"

[No, I... I'm afraid it will follow me.]

Cheng Ying gently put his arm around her waist, placed one hand lightly on her abdomen, his eyes full of worry.

"Don't worry." She leaned close to his ear and whispered:

"When you went to the store yesterday, I secretly went for a prenatal checkup, and my daughter is very healthy."

health?

He still couldn't believe that hearing and speaking abilities could only be tested at birth.

But, Nannan?

Yes, it’s a daughter?

Cheng Ying wanted to laugh but was also worried, and in the end his eyes turned red.

He gently picked up Jingzhi and put her on his lap.

"What are you doing?"

[…The chair is cold, so you should be careful starting today.]

Jingzhi patted his face gently, still a little surprised, "You accepted it so quickly?"

After enduring for a long time, he couldn't help it any longer. The corners of his mouth suddenly rose and his eyes almost narrowed into a line.

[Well, I’m going to have a daughter.]

Having said that, he used one arm to carry Jingzhi into the room as if she were a child.

She looked around, grabbed the blanket on the bed and wrapped herself tightly, "Well, although it is said that it is appropriate after the first three months...but you are too impatient."

Cheng Ying’s left eye had “nothing” written on it, and his right eye had “guilty” written on it.

I handed her the makeup bag in my hand and said, "Xiao Zhibie's makeup is too heavy. Let's go take photos and get the marriage certificate."

"……whispering sound."

Her head is full of crap.

"I'm going to make it super thick and piss you off to death!"

Even though she contradicted him like this, she still picked and chose, took out some cosmetics suitable for pregnant women, and put on a clear nude makeup for herself.

Seeing her approaching him with a makeup brush, he wanted to run, but when he remembered that she was pregnant and couldn't chase her, he grabbed his trouser leg, sat back on the bed, straightened his back, and lip-read awkwardly.

【Don't put on too much makeup, I'm a man. 】

"So what if I'm a man?" Jingzhi pursed her lips. "I'll put on heavy makeup and give you a big red lip!"

Cheng Ying looked at her with a smile, his eyes a little busy. This time he had to distract himself to look at her belly, and he couldn't get enough of looking at it.
