My Dear People · Moon Evening

Of course I hope the world treats you as kindly as I treat you.

But it is a very contradictory desire, don't let others have all the opportunities that are good for you.

-June 2016, 11

Lin Yilin's careful personality allows him to organize all the trivial things around him in an orderly manner, not to mention the memories related to Chen Lu, which are always placed in the cloud disk of the mobile phone and kept in a safe and separate category.

While waiting in the coffee shop that day, taking advantage of the fact that there was no one around him, he quietly took it out and looked through the old photos and text messages.

Chen Lu never liked to be clingy, but in the past ten years, as long as he didn't get along with Xiao Linzi, daily contact was absolutely indispensable.

Maybe he didn't know it himself, but Xiao Linzi carried every word he said and every word he sent with him at all times.

"I've been waiting for a long time. There's a traffic jam on the road." Leo's voice came before Leo's people arrived.

Lin Yilin immediately turned off the phone screen, raised his head indifferently, and said with the corners of his mouth bent: "I also just arrived, I'm sorry that you are so busy and still ask you out."

Leo said: "I am also a party involved, of course the final trial will go to court, why should you say sorry?"

Lin Yilin: "But showing up with me will be more troublesome."

"You are not afraid, what am I afraid of? I am the one who is single." Leo stretched out his hand to him: "Let's go, I will take you to a special place after we are done."

Lin Yilin hesitated for a moment, then stood up with a smile and walked alone. He didn't want to hold other people's hands, let alone this person might be a murderer.

Leo didn't seem to mind, and followed him out of the cafe.

This day is the verdict day of the previous serial murder case. Lin Yilin, who was threatened and almost killed, was going to attend as a witness. He almost thought of how dazzling the flashing lights were waiting for him before he got out of the car, and the people by his side never Changing Chen Lu to Leo, he will definitely be highlighted again.

He was a little disgusted, but not retreating.

Facing things that he doesn't want to face is nothing new to Lin Yilin.

William was poisoned to death, Wang Ye was killed by a hunting arrow, Mayer died suddenly from an overdose, and others including Lin Yilin were injured in the art museum bombing...

A series of previous cases have been concluded under the attitude of the suspect confessing.

Seeing the witnesses, accomplices and pieces of evidence presented non-stop, Xiao Linzi felt a little desperate.

If he didn't know the existence of Hiroshi Fujii pretending to be Hu Ran, or the tragic past of Leo's mother, it would be hard not to believe this result.

The jury was expressionless, and the spectators looked at each other. Presumably, after the final trial, everything will be concluded.

Lin Yilin had the urge to stand on the witness stand and tell everything he knew, and let the judge and the police investigate everything about Leo, but he knew very well in his heart that Leo, who could find the scapegoat, could also find There are countless scapegoats, and in the end it is not only difficult for the incompetent police officers to bring him to justice, but even Chen Lu and Yan Qingwei, who are now living on the blade, may die hastily due to the anger of their enemies.

That was the worst outcome, and Xiaolinzi must not let this outcome have the slightest chance of happening.

Therefore, with cold hands and feet, he endured his true desire, and pushed the stranger in the dock into the abyss of life imprisonment under the "successful and kind temptation" of the public prosecutor's lawyer.

Now, even the victim himself became a despicable sinner.

When leaving the witness stand, Lin Yilin suddenly turned around.

Leo was sitting in the front row of the auditorium, polite and innocent in his eyes.

Lin Yilin knew that Chen Lu would not come, but he still had a wish in his heart, hoping that the young master would suddenly appear by his side.

"Your Highness, it seems that you have no sincerity to cooperate with me, so let's end our game today."

In fact, at noon, Chen Lu received such a terrifying text message from a number he had never seen before. Although he knew that the other party would not answer, he still habitually dialed it back.

Who knew, the phone went through.

Chen Lu was stunned for two seconds before saying, "Fujii Hiroshi, what do you mean?"

On the other end of the phone is still the strange voice after the voice changer processing, and the frequency of ridicule is also very familiar: "What I said is very clear, you can let Lin Yilin live well if you do what I say, if you don't listen to me, then don't listen to me. Blame me for disappointing you."

"Let's meet." Chen Lu stood up from the breakfast table with a headache: "I won't bring others, and you shouldn't be impulsive. I want to have a good talk with you about your father."

"Thank you for your kindness." The words of refusal came immediately from the phone: "The things in the past have long been meaningless."

After finishing speaking, he didn't give another chance, and hung up the phone in an instant.

Dial it back, it's off.

"Master, the call was made from near the court. Today is the day for Mr. Lin to testify in court." The bodyguard has mastered the method of deciphering the location and rushed to report.

Chen Lu is rarely flustered, but now he is so flustered that his thoughts are fragmented.

"What are your orders?" the bodyguard asked tentatively.

"Surround the vicinity of the court, and when you see Lin Yilin, bring him here, notify Ning Yun, and find him immediately." Chen Lu took a deep breath: "Prepare the car, I'll go in person."

The square in front of the New York Court of Appeals is not small. Because today's case is so high-profile, it has already been crowded with media from all walks of life. It is a fantasy to rely on oneself to ensure safety without using the power of the police.

As soon as Chen Lu's car arrived there to see the situation clearly, he regretted it a little. He frowned and glanced at the unsightly reporters and cameramen, and quickly decided: "Notify Tang Jingnan, tell him..."

As a result, in the middle of speaking, Ning Yun called.

"Mr. Lin just finished his testimony. I'm looking for him. I heard that he is planning to leave first." Ning Yun also brushed aside the previous cynical tone and said seriously: "Leo is here with him today, they should be together."

Chen Lu looked towards the entrance of the court, and said in a toneless voice, "No need."

"You performed well today, it doesn't look like you are going to court for the first time." Leo accompanied Lin Yilin out from the gate of the court, completely ignoring the reporters who rushed up immediately.

Lin Yilin didn't answer, a forced smile appeared on his face, and he couldn't hear the chaotic questions around him at all.

At this time, Chen Lu had already pushed past the bodyguards' obstruction, and quickly ran towards the center of the crowd.

Everything happens in this instant.

First, the originally peaceful ground was trembling by the sudden tremor, and then accompanied by everyone's panicky shouts, a female reporter suddenly dropped the microphone and pulled out a gun, aiming straight at Lin Yilin's face.

Time slowed down as if it was about to stop.

In an instant, Xiao Linzi felt a dead silence around him, Leo seemed to shout something, and threw him to the ground almost at the same time.

Immediately afterwards, there were several explosions.

In order to avoid a package that exploded suddenly, Chen Lu had no choice but to dodge. When he regained his senses and wanted to find Lin Yilin, the reporters had already scattered around like flies.

The young master straightened up in surprise, and looked at Lin Yilin who was left where he was.

His Xiao Linzi was fine, but he was holding Leo, who was covered in blood, crying for help with a helpless face.

He didn't even realize that he was standing less than 20 meters away from him, motionless.
