CHAPTER 19 - Satisfied

Pei Luo Luo muttered to himself a few times, and suddenly, the tears in his eyes couldn't be held any longer and dripped down his cheeks onto the phone's screen, drenching his hands.

'I don't ask about what you don't want to say, but I'm willing to listen to what you want to say.

He fumbled with his phone, Pei Luo Luo typed out the word 'Thank you', but felt powerless, then deleted and wrote and deleted all these things. The screen suddenly changed to a caller ID with an unfamiliar number, and the number was even a contact number.

After hesitating for a bit, Pei Luo Luo took a deep breath to calm his emotions and pressed the answer button. Before he could open his mouth, she heard a familiar low but pleasant magnetic voice say, "Satisfied?"

"Thank you." Pei Luo Luo answered honestly. He had not fully recovered from his crying earlier, and his voice was still hoarse.

"And the answer you gave me?" Xiao Yi Chen's tone was very light, but even though she sensed the cold aura from the other party, she bit her lips and shook her head as she spoke into the phone, "Xiao Yi Chen, I am really grateful that you calmed down this matter, but I cannot marry you out of gratitude. Furthermore, I am the one who caused this mess. I can't be unreasonable and say that I don't want to, but, at least for now, I can't … "

Pei Luo Luo finished his words in one breath. Only then did he realise that the other party had already hung up the phone, leaving her with a blank look.

When did you hang up? Was he listening to himself? All of these things could no longer be verified, Pei Luo Luo felt that he had made things more and more complicated, and had deviated from his track, as he stared at his phone in a daze.

In the villa in Jun Yiyou, Xiao Yi Chen's expression while facing the bathtub was extremely dark. He had just been lying down and making the phone, but without being careful, his phone made a sound and he fell into the water … …

What did Pei Luo Luo say just now? After hearing the word thanks, Xiao Yi Chen let out a deep breath as he got up and wrapped himself in a bathrobe. Then, he went to his bedroom and took out his other cellphone and called Li Jie.

"Ugh …" "Hello?" Li Jie yawned, and with a heavy sleepiness, he scratched his neck and sat up from the carriage. In a blink of an eye, he saw Xiao Yi Chen calling, and quickly straightened his voice and shouted respectfully, "Radix Sorbiae!"

Li Jie almost cried when he looked at the phone, every time he answered a phone call from Xiao Yi Chen, he would be on tenterhooks.

Not mentioning that Xiao Yi Chen's phone calls were all imported, his path back and forth would take at least two to three days. It's not like Xiao Yi Chen would do anything to get a private helicopter.

"Miss Pei, you said that Radix Sorbiae wanted me to follow you around, and now you're asking me to do something. Sigh! God damn it, what life do I owe him? " Li Jie ruthlessly scratched the back of his head and muttered to the building opposite him. He was extremely depressed.

Ever since Xiao Yi Chen appeared, the chaos caused by the drunk driving passed by, although it was still somewhat one-sided, it still did not affect him. Pei Luo Luo did not stop worrying, she stayed at his hometown for a week, she had been busy with Li Hui's case, and Zhang Chen followed up the development of the case the next day.

In the end, because Li Hui was unable to properly settle the dispute over marriage and family, he took out a knife and stabbed his wife, Zhang, to death consecutively and even dismembered her corpse. His actions constituted a crime of intentional murder, his methods were cruel and the consequences were severe, so he should be punished according to law. Considering that this case was caused by a family dispute, and that the victim Zhang was definitely at fault for causing this case to happen, Li Hui could only report the facts of the crime to Li Hui and sentence him to death, not carry out the punishment immediately. The original judgement determined that the facts and conviction were correct, the trial proceedings were legal, but the punishment was improper, Li Hui was sentenced to death according to law, the execution was suspended for a period of two years, and political rights were taken away for life.

Actually, many a times, Pei Luo Luo was still immune to the public opinion of the outside world. In Li Hui's case, his ability to kill and dismember corpses was very bad. Even if he had hidden troubles, he could not be forgiven for his crimes. No one is innocent of a crime, and there is always a pressure on his bottom line to be damaged or mentally unendurable, which leads to extreme behavior.

Just like how Li Hui had been tormented by his wife's mental fortitude for a long time, giving him a green hat and insulting his man's dignity; this way, day after day, he couldn't find a proper way to settle the marriage situation, which would cause him to commit a grave mistake. Maybe he was a good person in front of his family and friends, but that didn't mean he was a good man's husband.

To Pei Luo Luo, Li Hui was her uncle who had doted on her since he was young. There was an unforgiving relationship between them, so she came back to help him. Even though it would be selfish to call her a murderer's interpreter in the outside world. But isn't everyone the same? He was always selfish for the people around him who wanted to protect him. He would even try to cover it up and deceive it, all for the sake of his so-called protection.

"Luo Luo, Li Hui's case is over. Do you want to come back with me?" Walking out of the court, Zhang Chen wrapped himself in a raincoat and asked Pei Luo Luo who had been silent the entire time.

"Master, I want to stay and work here."

Zhang Chen had thought that Pei Luo Luo would one day return to her homeland to accompany her parents for a peaceful and ordinary life, but that was something that might happen in the future.

"I want to stay." Pei Luo Luo said as he lost more and more confidence. After Li Hui's case, she suddenly felt that he had missed out on a lot of loved ones who could accompany her.

Even his most beloved daughter would not be able to see her getting married and giving birth to children, and he had even brought her more burden and pressure.

"I have no objection to you staying. This is your choice. But if you are trying to escape because you are afraid of facing more of these death row criminals in the future, then let me tell you, when you choose this profession, you should have this kind of awareness! " Zhang Chen's tone was somewhat unyielding, even though he really wanted to discuss with Pei Luo Luo her current feelings, he could understand why she would be so anxious and helpless right now.

However, there was always a day when she had to face it by herself. No one could protect anyone for the rest of their life, and Pei Luo Luo also had her own path, which she had to choose on his own.
