Chapter 821 When you come out
Linfeng then took the cuffs from the chief. "Then I will personally take him." The chief knew Linfeng's identity and his prowess so he let the man lead Lu Jin.
Linfeng doesn't have authority in the government or in the juridical. But as one of the reputable 'King's, who came here as the representative of the legendary Xiong family, the owner of the great SC company, and a great master, Linfeng has the ability.
Besides, it was Linfeng who arranged Lu Jin's voluntary surrender and contributed greatly to Ming Zhi Yi's case.
Lu Jin followed the group silently. He never spoke a word. But he could feel the unkind gazes and hatred towards him.
Whenever he passed by, many onlookers recognized him. They whispered and called him 'Ming Zhi Yi's son, his accomplice, so on.'
As someone who has great qigong and heightened senses, he could hear their whispers. The majority of them were cursing him and his father. Saying that he was deserved to rot in hell or be executed along with his father.
Lu Jin was not affected by it. He acted like he did not hear anything at all nor show an expression that he was led to a room where all his freedom would be restricted.
When he and Linfeng were about to enter the interrogation room, the chief stopped the latter from entering.
"Sir Linfeng, I am afraid this is far as you can go."
There was a moment of silence.
Linfeng looked at the closed room. Then to the armed people. He then glanced at Lu Jin.
Lu Jin was staring back at him. His gaze was clear with no trace of fear. No, there's no hint of emotion at all. It was like Linfeng was meeting the old Lu Jin.
He could not perceive any emotion or thoughts of Lu Jin.
Lu Jin's head moved. The armed officers immediately raised their guns. Lu Jin bowed deeply at Linfeng.
"Thank you for taking care of me until now. We must separate here."
Linfeng was silent. Inwardly, he was impressed with Lu Jin. To face such aggression and to be left alone with the people who want his death, but still be able to remain calm, he was truly a person who was worthy of his admiration.
Linfeng wondered how vastly different Lu Yin Ze and Lu Jin were. If Lu Yin Ze was like the last little flick of the candle wavering amidst the breeze, then Lu Jin was the still darkness hovering around it.
Whatever Lu Yin Ze lacks, Lu Jin had a deep well of it.
Linfeng tone was amiable as he answered.
"You don't have a debt to us. You give us what we wanted and you took a great part in taking down Ming Zhi Yi. The lives of the heirs have been saved by you. Without you, the peace we are having today won't easily come as it is now. It's us who are in debt."
Linfeng then added in a low voice, "My young miss and I would do everything in our power to lessen your punishment. Please rest assured."
Lu Jin nodded. "Thank you."
Linfeng was about to leave when Lu Jin hurriedly speak. "I have a favor to ask."
Lu Jin thought about this the whole time and decided to ask Linfeng for help. After all, at this time, Linfeng was the only person he could trust.
"What is it?"
Lu Jin glanced at the chief who was eavesdropping on them. Linfeng glanced at the chief as well.
The chief who was caught in the act: "..."
The chief embarrassingly stepped back and coughed. "I'll give you two minutes."
Linfeng nodded. "Thank you."
When the men retreated a few meters back, Lu Jin finally stated his worries.
"I am worried about Lu Yin Ze. At night, he often have nightmares."
Lu Jin talked about the nights when Lu Yin Ze suddenly woke up.
Lu Jin was a great master of martial arts. His perception of qigong was great. So when Lu Yin Ze stepped out of his room, Lu Jin who never sleep deeply was aware of it. He would then unlock his door and left it slightly open. With this, if his brother asked for help, he could enter or call out to him freely.
However, his brother just peeks at him from the door. He would then sit on the floor and leaned on the wall beside the door. After a while, he would stand up and return to his room. This happened six times in the span of one week.
Lu Jin was curious why Lu Yin Ze would stay beside his door at night. So when Lu Yin Ze did the same thing and sat beside his room on the fourth night and fell asleep, Lu Jin slowly rise up from his bed and silently approached his brother.
What he saw struck him painfully. His brother was trembling while holding his body down. His eyes were closed. Lu Jin who had watched Lu Yin Ze in the hospital know what was happening to the current Lu Yin Ze. Lu Yin Ze's illness came back. This was probably triggered by the tragic incident in that mansion.
Lu Yin Ze had a weak heart and fragile mentality ever since he was a child. He had suffered many traumatic experiences. This affected him psychologically.
The worst time was when he was in the hospital. He would shiver and tremble for half an hour. He could be in constant nightmares even at daylight and at night.
Lu Jin watched with trembling eyes as his brother's body shivered. He wanted to wake him up and then comfort him. But he knew that Lu Yin Ze doesn't want him to see him like this.
He could only stand there, not knowing what to do.
When Lu Yin Ze was about to wake up, Lu Jin hid. He listened to his brother's light step as his brother slowly closed the door. As if his little brother was afraid that he would wake him up.
Lu Jin never cried. But seeing his brother trembling so pitifully without wanting to let him know, made Lu Jin overwhelmed with pain and heartache.
His little brother....had truly suffered. If he could just take those pain away.
So on the fifth day, Lu Jin acted more unrestrained and revived the loving older brother of the past for Lu Yin Ze. He did not put the tragic past between them. He acted like such a thing never happened. It worked well because after that night, the time of Lu Yin Ze's shivering lessened.
But now he was leaving, Lu Jin was afraid that Lu Yin Ze's illness would act at night and no one was around to give him security or comfort.
After hearing Lu Jin, Linfeng was silent for a moment. He then speaks slowly.
"But...I can't sleep there. Besides, I am a man."
Lu Jin looked at Linfeng like there was something wrong with his brain.
"I am not asking you to sleep in the same bed with him. And it's not like it should be you. There's one friend who stayed with him during the funeral rites, right? Can you ask her to live in L province for a while? I would rest assured if there is one person who would take care of Lu Yin Ze."
Linfeng nodded. "Alright, I will ask Tang Yin. "
Lu Jin could finally let out a sigh of relief. He then smiled bitterly, when his little brother found out that he was gone, he hope that Lu Yin Ze would not take it hardly and accept things as it is. He doesn't want to disappoint and add pain to his little brother anymore.
Let this separation be their last.
As Lu Jin was about to enter the room. Linfeng called out.
"Lu Jin."
Lu Jin looked at him.
"When you come out, let's have a drink together." Lu Jin was stunned. His cold face then broke a slight smile.
"Of course."
No matter how long it takes, he would come out. His little brother was waiting for him. And it seemed like a drink was waiting for him from his first friend.
After this interrogation, Lu Jin would be confined to someplace and would never come out. He would be under the protection witness. So even though Lu Yin Ze or Linfeng wanted to meet him, they would not be able to until the trial was done.
Until the trial of Ming Zhi Yi, was publicized, that was the moment, Lu Jin could appear to the public.
