To Love You Again

825 The Trial Old Tang was also so angry that she almost pushed her old body to beat up to death the paralyzed man.

But with so many eyes watching, she could only rebuke with words, "What are you so proud of? Your entire body is useless. You are just a criminal waiting for your death. Even you begged and act pitifully no one would sympathize with a demon-like you."

The thin man on the bed narrowed his eyes dangerously.

However, even if he was not chained, he would not be able to strangle those old people with his hands. He could not even feel his limbs at all. The lack of feeling in both his hands and feet made the man explode inside.

If he was in his formal state, he would have killed these people in less than ten minutes.

However, he became powerless. A paralyzed man. Chained and restrained.

The feeling of powerlessness that he did not dare think of was now overwhelming him.

Why...

Why someone powerful like him who ruled the underground and held many lives was reduced to this state?

He could easily decide one's life and trample the four families with his power and influence.

Yet! Everything was ruined!

A person's figure appeared in his mind.

It was because of his traitorous son!

Ming Zhi Yi convulsed in anger and hatred.

Just remembering that bastard who was the source of his current state made him cough up blood.

Blood splattered on the white blanket and on his white hospital shirt. 𝒇𝓻𝒆𝒆𝔀𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝒆𝒍.𝓬𝓸𝓶

The doctors and nurse at the side immediately checked upon him. While the other people in the room helped the two elderly to calm down.

Ming Zhi Yi was already in a poor state physically. If he died here in this hospital, the wrath of the public would have nowhere to vent.

In the end, they conducted another interrogation without the two elders. But the result was the same, Ming Zhi Yi did not speak anymore.

Despite the profiler's attempted provocation by using his deceased wife and his past as a starter, Ming Zhi Yi remained unmoved.

09:52

But this doesn't change anything. They don't need Ming Zhi Yi's testimony anymore. The evidences against him were all solid and the witness who came forward had enough attestation to fully block any of Ming Zhi Yi's escapades. The investigation was also about to conclude.

Finally, the court announced the date of the trial.

The finalized date was revealed to the public which made the almost forgotten incident become a hot topic for everyone in the country.

The mastermind behind the massacre of the infamous Victory Banquet would finally be punished by the law!

Everyone looked forward to the ending of the notorious villain.

Thus, the society had become noisy all over again.

While the public and the victims were looking forward to that day, the people in power who were in cahoots with Ming Zhi Yi were terrified.

The investigation won't lead to them, right? They have cleaned up every connection they had with Ming Zhi Yi ever since the Victory Banquet. But they still feared the possibility of being dragged along with Ming Zhi Yi.

Although they had the power and connections to check the progress of the investigation, they couldn't do so. Everyone in the above seats was watching the investigation carefully. Those people even personally attended the interrogation with Ming Zhi Yi.

Even the President was updated on Ming Zhi Yi's case. It was because not only the country was paying attention to this case, but the whole world.

This strange atmosphere continued on until the day had come.

....

The trial would last for three days.

Ming Zhi Yi's crime was piled up greatly that one day was not enough to comb through all of them.

The court invited a trustful media. It was also revealed that several high profiled people would attend the trial.

On the first day of the trial, the uninvited media from other platforms and concerned citizens lingered in front of the building. The security was having trouble containing the crowd.

The sun hadn't fully risen yet, but many people were already here. One of the paparazzi asked a journalist beside him.

"Is your company invited inside?"

"Haven't you heard? SHM is the only invited media there. With the great number od several people involved, the seats would be fully booked. I guess small media companies like us would have no chance of being inside."

"Then why did you also wait outside this early morning?"

The journalist looked weirdly at the paparazzi beside him. Was this person trying to sniff some hot juice from him?

The journalist harrumphed. "I will only give if I have something to gain."

The paparazzi was not new in this industry. He scooted forward and whispered.

"Alright. Let's exchange information. We are here because I heard accidentally from an officer of the national police mentioned that a key witness will be coming here. Although I don't know who and when he will come."

"Key witness? Ming Zhi Yi is involved in many crimes. I am sure there are many witnesses. This is not enough."

"I have a guess who the person is." The paparazzi added. "But how about you tell me some info from your side first?"

The journalist thought about it and finally shared some good info. "I have a friend from the investigation team. I made him drunk just to get this important information. He said that today's trial would drag many people from higher seats down."

The paparazzi's eyes went wide. "Are you sure? Who are they?"

"It is so confidential that I can't even make him vomit any names. So who is the key witness?"

"This is just a guess. But do you know about Ming Zhi Yi's eldest son?"

"You mean...Lu Jin?"

"Yes. Isn't it strange that there is no news about him? The Lu family held a banquet two weeks ago. His brother has inherited both the company and the position of the head of the family. But no one mentioned him there. Lu Jin is definitely held captive by the court."

"That's....likely true. If he comes, it would be a huge scoop."

"Yeah. I am already excited thinking of the article's title."

This conversation only existed between the two of them. Their excitement was not any less than the other media who were waiting for a huge scoop.

It was hours later when the court opened that the people involved arrived.

As the journalist said, not all of them could enter. The seats inside were fully booked by the family's victims, the people involved, and people with authorities.

It was half an hour before the trial that important figures worth making articles finally showed up.

The Tang family came first. When they showed up, the media crowded over them and asked for their opinion.

"The great tragedy of the Victory Banquet had caused your family to lose face, how did you feel seeing the perpetrator finally receive its rightful punishment?"

"As the party involved, what kind of punishment Ming Zhi Yi should receive?"

"Are you confident that Ming Zhi Yi would be granted the death penalty?"

Mistress Tang, Tang Xinyang, and Tang Yin ignored the cameras around them.

Then a question was suddenly brushed up to their face.

"It is said that the heirs were tortured for half a day. Is seeing Ming Zhi Yi again would not traumatize you?"

The reporter who asked the latter question was quite bold for opening such an untouchable topic in front of the heir of the Tang family. He even blocked their way.

Tang Xinyang narrowed her eyes. As she was about to speak, a hand held her fisted fist. A man's back appeared in front of her.

"We can't answer you. Please give way before I used force." Jang Shin who was behind the three women spoke.

His handsome and tall figure attracted everyone. Some recognized him right away.

"Hey, isn't that the acting CEO of SC company? What is he doing here?"

"That's Jang Shin. The Jang family is the family butler of the Tang's. He must be here to support the Tang family."

Jang Shin ignored their rumors and used his body to make way for the three women.

Tang Xinyang just let him hold her hand with a lowered head. She muttered angrily, "I can't believe that's what's in their mind. Should they just all just focus on Ming Zhi Yi?"

Jang Shin squeezed her hand to calm her. "Those people just wanted to provoke you. Don't react to them."

Jang Shin was actually holding back Tang Xinyang.

That rude reporter almost become Tang Xinyang's punching bag today. Although the man deserved it, Jang Shin doesn't want Tang Xinyang to become rumored as a hot-tempered woman due to this provocation.
