Lin Kerou sat outside, her handkerchief soaked with her tears.
Supported by Wu Meiya, Mu Che wailed and sighed.
They both seemed to have aged 20 years, it made one’s heart ache to look at them.
6 am sharp.
The sound of the gong was heard. It was a deep and heavy sound, accompanied by a desolate sigh. It sent waves of reverberation through the air and lingered in the people’s hearts.
Lin Kerou stared at the clock for a long time with tears in her eyes before she got onto her feet and walked out of the police station.
Lin Ya was in a good mood today.
Mu Donglin was finally dead.
It was a pity that he was executed by a firing squad at only 26 years old.
However, someone’s 26-year-old life for his lifetime of success was a rather worthwhile deal.
Just like that, Lin Ya went to work as usual and got off work as usual.
After work, he headed home for dinner, as insisted by his parents.
It appeared they had arranged to meet the family of a rather promising girl over dinner.
They were somewhat old family friends.
Their family was well known for three generations, the father was an entrepreneur. They had a strong family background.
Lin Ya was almost 30 years old. If he had gotten married early, he would have had many children by now.
However, he had been busy with political events for the past few years, so where would he have had the time to fall in love?
His parents’ intentions were clear.
It was a blind date.
Lin Ya understood and did not protest. He got the chauffeur to drive him home.
Lin Yuxin had gone to boarding school some time ago, and Lin Kerou had gotten married. She was often not home in the first place, and recently, because of Mu Donglin’s execution, she had been driven to distraction. The Lin parents did not even intend to ask her to come home.
By the time Lin Ya reached home, the guests had already arrived.
The girl was tall and thin, and sported very short hair. She was dressed in dark-colored heavy metal androgynous style, with a sleeveless jacket over a long-sleeved fitting white T-shirt. The pair of motorcycle gloves she wore on her hands completed the look.
She was fair and neat, although rather tall.
Lin Ya was 176 cm. This girl was almost the same height wearing flats.
The moment Lin Ya saw the girl, he silently crossed her off the list.
Lin Ya was the mayor after all. Even if he wanted to find himself a partner, it had to be a girl who was an obviously decent woman.
This sort of girl looked like a wayward girl. Furthermore, her short cropped hair made her look like a tomboy.
When Tomboy saw Lin Ya, she stood up and smiled at him. Then, she showed him a work pass and said, “Hi, I’m the prosecutor handling a case. We need you to cooperate with us.”
Lin Ya was shocked and realized only then, that something was wrong.
The Lin parents were sitting on the sofa and did not look too good.
The moment Lin Ya entered, his attention had been on this androgynous person — she was too distracting hence he had not noticed anything else at the time.
Father Lin finally said, “Comrade prosecutor, my son has always been law-abiding. He definitely wouldn’t have done what you said. As for the evidence, I can guarantee that my son has never done it!”
Mother Lin looked agitated as well. “That rebellious daughter of mine has been driven crazy by her husband’s death. She hates her brother for not helping her husband. That’s why she said those things. Are you guys crazy too? Lin Ya has been conscientious all these years…”
“Mayor Lin Ya may detail these things when he comes back with us to the procuratorate.” Tomboy’s attitude was firm. “The innocent will naturally have their names cleared. Mayor Lin Ya, please come with me.”
This turn of events was too sudden. Lin Ya’s heart sank, but he did not lose his composure.
After comforting his parents, Lin Ya left the house.
However, even he did not expect that after stepping out, he would never be back again.
