ZhiNing was momentarily stunned. She took a few steps forward and reached out her hand to support the old woman who was kneeling on the ground. "Auntie, please get up first. We'll talk about this later."

"If the heat does not avenge the son of a woman, the woman will kneel here and die." The old woman pushed Zhining's hand away and knelt on the ground, unwilling to get up.

The patron looked coldly at the old woman kneeling in front of him, her pretty eyes showing no emotion, "You can get up. Even if you kneel here, I won't reopen the case against Lu Zhao." With that, he walked past the old woman and headed for the main entrance of the Southern Prefecture.

The words of the patron made the old woman shudder slightly, but she still stubbornly kneeled on the ground.

Seeing that the patron completely ignored the old woman kneeling on the ground, ZhiNing was immediately enraged. She took a few steps forward to block her, "Why are you so cold-blooded?" Seeing the old woman kneeling there and yet you ignored her, you simply do not have the qualifications to be a patrolling officer! "

When these words were spoken, all the policemen standing on both sides looked at Zhining in shock. It seemed that Messina felt that Zhining actually dared to criticize the Chief Patrol Officer in front of the entire hall.

The Chief Patrol Officer's face turned even uglier. An icy aura emanated from his entire body. He placed his hands behind his back, looking back at ZhiNing with a cold expression. ZhiNing also fearlessly looked back at the Chief Patrol Officer. The two of them just stared at each other.

After a long time, a middle-aged man dressed in a black police uniform hurried over to the side of ZhiNing and the patrolman. He looked at ZhiNing in surprise, cupped his fists in front of his chest, and respectfully reported to the patrolman, "Sir, the Ministry of Justice has just sent a document. Lu Zhao has confessed to his crimes, and the Ministry of Justice has decided to execute him after autumn."

Just as the middle-aged constable finished his sentence, the old woman collapsed and fainted.

Zhining was momentarily shocked, she blurted out without thinking, "Impossible." Lu Zhao had suffered such heavy injuries, yet he didn't admit his mistake. How could he admit his wrongs in less than two hours? She didn't believe him. She stretched out her hand to snatch the document that the middle-aged man handed to the patron and carefully examined it. On it was clearly written Lu Zhao's name and one of his documents …

It was a very clear imprint of a finger.

Zhining stood blankly on the spot. It turned out that the Chief Patrol Officer had long since known that Lu Zhao had pleaded guilty, which was why he wasn't willing to try Lu Zhao's case again. The criminals had already pleaded guilty, and no one would be able to reverse the case for them.

"Chen Zhi, you're too unreasonable!" The middle-aged man snatched the document from Zhining's hand, then lowered his head towards the Chief Patrol Officer, "Sir, my son has just arrived and does not know how to behave. Please forgive him." As he said that, he secretly tugged on the corner of ZhiNing's clothes, indicating that she should apologize to the patron.

ZhiNing lowered her head and cupped her fists, "Sir, I have just offended you. Please, Sir, please forgive me."

The patrolling officer glanced at Zhining indifferently, "Constable Chen, it's time for you to properly discipline your son." With that, he strode towards the main gate of the Southern Palace.

"This subordinate will definitely teach my son a good lesson." The Chen family's guard helplessly glared at Zhining and followed the patron into the Southern Prefecture.

ZhiNing walked over to the old woman and helped her sit on the ground. She gently called out to her, "Auntie? "Auntie?"

The old woman slowly opened her eyes and glanced gratefully at ZhiNing. Following which, she quickly pulled back the sword that Zhining had been carrying at her waist, pressing it against her neck.

Zhining did not expect the old woman to commit suicide. Without thinking, she stretched out her hand to grip the sharp sword firmly, in order to prevent the old woman from cutting herself, "Aunt, don't!"

The old woman didn't even look at Zhining, instead forcefully gripping her sword with both hands, slicing towards her own neck, "Let go, Zhao'er must be afraid that I will work too hard to reverse the case for him, that's why he pleads guilty!" As long as I am dead, he will not plead guilty. Let me die, let me die! "

She stretched out a hand and struck the old woman's arm. The old woman's arm was in pain, and her sword fell to the ground, "You can't die, if you die, then who's to collect Lu Zhao's corpse!"

The old woman stared blankly at the sword on the ground as tears slowly rolled down her face. Suddenly, she threw her head back and howled at the heavens.

"Why? Why? My son is clearly innocent, why did he have to die? Is there no justice in this world? " After finishing her sentence, the old woman fainted once again.

ZhiNing held the fainted old woman in her arms, "Don't worry, there must be some justice in this world. If they don't avenge you, let's do it!"
