After staying up for two days, he finally sat in the sentencing court, Zhang Zhe was nervously speechless, and Anna's parents followed. The group sat quietly in the auditorium and waited for the court to begin. This calm only lasted until Luo Yangfan showed up.

Luo Yangfan was wearing a black suit and bow tie, and his patent leather shoes were clean and without a trace of dust, looking like a wedding attendee and more like a provocative cockfight.

Liu Chang didn't know who he was, and inexplicably looked at his companions who suddenly began to have different auras, and looked at Zhang Zhe suspiciously. He kept a cold face and didn't speak.

"Mr. Zhang." Luo Yangfan walked over enthusiastically as if he saw a friend he hadn't seen for a long time: "I'm sorry, I didn't show up during the trial, I'm too busy." He held Zhang Zhe's cold hand tightly, not feeling that there was anything wrong with him at all, "I heard that it didn't go well?" He let out a smile.

"Mr. Luo, let's sit down first, this is the courtroom, not his own dining room."

Zhang Zhe withdrew his hand and tried his best to stay calm, Luo Yangfan appeared here, and the most likely thing was that he would really lose.

Luo Yangfan looked cooperative, and sat on the seat leaning against the door with his assistant. Liu Chang only knew that this person was the culprit after Zhang Zhe said Mr. Luo, and snorted with his nose to express his contempt.

After the judge walked in, Zhang Zhe became more and more nervous. His heart was beating in his chest, and he pretended to be calm and restrained his expression and looked ahead. Chen Chen was still wearing the orange clothes, and when he saw Zhang Zhe, he showed a calm smile, as if he had forgotten his predicament. Zhang Zhe was inexplicably relieved.

Luo Yangfan sat behind and stared at Chen Chen, she smiled quietly, as if she had adapted to this environment, and she didn't care about what she was facing next. Luo Yangfan realized that this was what Chen Chen was like, and right now, at the moment facing Zhang Zhe, it was herself. From beginning to end, he was actually blocked by Chen Chen, and he never walked in at all. A jealous rage caused him to go into disarray.

Talents that can't be used by me can be ruined. Luo Yangfan looked over with a smile.

Chen Chen had already seen Luo Yangfan sitting by the door, she didn't know what he was going to do to him next, and now it seemed that she had no room to resist, so she could only face it. didn't make any expression, just turned his face and looked at Zhang Zhe again and smiled. If she really will be imprisoned, then all the next time she can see Zhang Zhe is worth cherishing, she just wants to take a good look at Zhang Zhe's face now and note down every detail of his body, which may be the only good thing that can support her in the next few decades. She knows better than anyone how much they were afraid of the financial storm after the financial crisis of '08, and everything Chen Chen did was likely to cause a new tsunami.

The judge struck the hammer and began to read out the verdict opinions, each explanation was lengthy and cumbersome, Chen Chen didn't want to hear it at all, and turned his head to look at Zhang Zhe awkwardly. He looked back at himself with unconcealed fear in his eyes. Zhang Zhe lost a lot of weight, and his sunken cheeks and dark circles made him look haggard and vulnerable. She wanted to hug him now.

Zhang Zhe, who was originally slightly relaxed, began to despair. Chen Chen's expression was too calm, she seemed to be able to anticipate her outcome, and she didn't plan to resist violently here. The violent beating of his heart seemed to be tapping on his eardrums, and Zhang Zhe began to breathe poorly. The pebble on his chest suddenly appeared again for some reason, and at this moment it seemed to want to break through his back and fly out, killing him by the way. But it wasn't the most desperate time, until the judge read out the number 'eighteen years'.

Eighteen years.

Eighteen years is enough to change the whole world. The cells in our body are all changed every seven years. Theoretically, seven years is a new self. Eighteen years was enough for it to complete its own rebirth on both sides, and even the third time was halfway done. Chen Chen is about to celebrate his thirtieth birthday. Eighteen years later, eighteen years later, Zhang Zhe is also fifty-three years old.

Chen Chen was still pretending to be calm. Nails are deeply embedded in the palms of your hands. Eighteen years, it has only taken her five years to get to where she is now, eighteen years is too long for her. She gritted her teeth and stood in place, staring back at Luo Yangfan. She didn't understand why he was doing this to herself, and it seemed useless to understand it now. The whole trial was just a private kangroo court for her; Nothing matters, it's a court and a trial for her. And she is not the only victim, the other victim on the scene is Zhang Zhe.

Chen Chen turned his head, and Zhang Zhezheng was looking at him, his lips trembling slightly, as if he was muttering something. Anna's father pressed his shoulder, as if he was worried that Zhang Zhe would rush over in the next second.

Don't see him again. Zhang Zhe has endured too much loneliness and despair, and eighteen years is too long for him. It's better for Zhang Zhe to forget about himself. Chen Chen turned her head and stretched out her hand to let the escorting police clasp the handcuffs on her wrists.

She looked back at Zhang Zhe for the last time. In the days to come, I hope you can go on alone and go smoothly. I hope that the next person you fall in love with will not be as selfish as me, and have too many ideas, so I can quietly accompany you through the second half of your life.

She turned her head and followed the guard through the side door. There was never a look back.

"Chen Chen!" The open door bounced back behind her, swaying back and forth a few times under the effect of inertia, firmly blocking her figure. Zhang Zhe broke free from Anna's father and rushed out, Liu Chang didn't hold him with all his strength, Zhang Zhe's strength was surprisingly great, and he shook off his arm. Liu Chang held his arm and didn't let go, Zhou Ziang ran over and held down Zhang Zhe with Anna's father, "Impossible!" She obviously didn't do anything! It's not fair! Why..."Anna cried as she lay on her mother's arms, watching her father help pull Zhang Zhe, who was struggling like crazy.

Fair? There are so many unfairness in this world, and from the beginning of life, it is unfair to everyone.

Chen Chen's look back made Luo Yangfan's heart tighten, a little uncomfortable, but there was also the joy of success. After a moment, she turned her head to look at Zhang Zhe. Luo Yangfan doesn't understand, she still doesn't understand that it is herself who can control her fate? In her eyes, except for Zhang Zhe, there is no one else?

A moment of jealousy made Luo Yangfan feel that he should continue to do something. He went behind Zhang Zhe and stared mockingly at Zhang Zhe, who was pressed on the chair by three people before he quieted down. He seemed to be in despair, sitting in his chair and muttering to himself with empty eyes, but no one could hear what he was saying.

Luo Yangfan bent down slightly, still maintaining a condescending posture: "Mr. Zhang still has to take care of his body, don't let everyone worry." Hearing his voice, Anna let go of her mother and wanted to pounce: "You trash! Did Chen Chen kill your whole family? Are you still fucking human! Anna's father hugged Anna tightly to prevent her from breaking away and pounced on Luo Yangfan, if Chen Chen's matter was all caused by him, he was also afraid of what he would do to Anna.

"Miss Anna, don't talk nonsense, if it's really me, you should be afraid of me now."

Without waiting for Anna to answer, Zhang Zhe, who was sitting in the chair, opened his mouth with his back to Luo Yangfan, but did not look back.

"Luo Yangfan, why are you doing this?" Zhang Zhe's voice was low, with a hint of nasality, and his tone was slow, like an old man who had completely lost hope in life, and only hoped that he could die faster and less painfully.

Luo Yangfan didn't seem to expect Zhang Zhe to ask this kind of question, although everyone knew that he was the initiator, but the calm Zhang Zhe should not be able to say it.

"Mr. Zhang, don't talk nonsense, there is also a heavy sentence for defamation here."

"Is it really just because she won't go to the village for you? Is it because of me? Is it because she married me? ”

Zhang Zhe didn't care about his coercion, and asked himself.

"I repeat you don't talk nonsense! I'll sue you for slander! Luo Yangfan's tone was angry, and his chest began to rise and fall.

Zhang Zhe didn't continue to ask, Luo Yangfan looked like he had been stepped on his tail and lost his slow ridicule, indicating that what Zhang Zhe said was right.

"You know I'll give me anything in exchange for her. But since this is already the case, let's just break the net. ”

Zhang Zhe's words were threatening, but his tone was flat and did not fluctuate, and his eyes did not move in the slightest. Luo Yangfan was speechless for a while, looked at Zhang Zhe but did not refute, and when he remembered, Zhang Zhe had already walked out.

His back trembled slightly, but he straightened up not at all like a person who had been crushed, his steps were solid, and every step was so steady.

The judge said that Chen Chen did not need to change prisons, so he should be able to visit now. Everyone followed Zhang Zhe quietly, and Anna's parents went home first.

Chen Chen walked into the cell, the prison did not need to be replaced, and for the next eighteen years, this was where she lived. Eighteen years, according to the theory of 10,000 hours, eight hours a day, eighteen years, can master the other five crafts, can learn five new professional knowledge, in addition to doing many things, such as accompanying Zhang Zhe.

Zhang Zhe had a migraine attack the night when he came to see her, and the whole person tried his best to get into her arms, whispering 'I love you' in her arms, and the dream words that he whispered in the dream were all to let her go home. There's no going back now. At least for 18 years, there will be no going back.

The guards knocked on the door and informed her that someone had come to see her. She slowly stood up, it was time to make it clear to Zhang Zhe.

After the door opened, Zhang Zhe raised his head to look at her, and Chen Chen suddenly wanted to turn around and run away.

He stood up and stared at her and slowly sat down opposite, Chen Chen didn't speak, nor did he look up. She didn't know what to say or how to speak.

Zhang Zhe broke the silence.

"I'll get you out."

Zhang Zhe didn't know if he was comforting himself or her. Chen Chen snorted and held back his tears.

"Go home, Zhang Zhe, go back."

"What nonsense are you talking about, you're here, where are you going to let me go back?"

Anna sat next to her and grabbed her hand: "I won't give up, I'm going to go out with you." ”

The tears still didn't hold back, Chen Chen tilted his head and pulled his hand out. The fact is that it is now, and going against the Luo family will not end well.

"Tell Liu Ya and Wang Qiang to find the leaders of the next family, if they want to get mixed up in the Law Fund, they need to have the protection of a trader." Chen Chen hadn't forgotten the people he had brought over, but fortunately he didn't let them testify, and if they were convicted of perjury, they would have been spared.

Zhang Zhe and Anna stopped talking, and listened to her explain the aftermath of these words. Zhang Zhe became more and more nervous, and the more nervous he became, the more scared he felt.

"No one will help you explain, and the people you brought yourself will go out and talk to them by yourself." Zhang Zhe was like an angry child, and replied to her words angrily. She smiled lightly, and Zhang Zhe's angry appearance was the same as before.

"Zhang Zhe" she stood up and raised her hands, signaling that the prison guard was going back, "Let's get a divorce." She was going to run away, to escape from the current situation and to avoid opening Zhang Zhe, maybe he would figure out that it was better for him to give up on himself.

A sentence sounded in Zhang Zhe's ears like a thunderbolt, he couldn't believe it, raised his head to look at her back, and after a while, he understood her intentions. Why is she the one who is obviously the victim, and she is the one who is still crying bitterly, but in the current situation, she still thinks about herself.

"If you encounter difficulties, you will back down, and if you ask for something, you will abandon them, so what qualifications do I have to say that I love you?" Zhang Zhe stood up and didn't come over, all the excessive movements here are irrational. His voice trembled on the verge of collapse with sadness, and the next second it would shatter.

Chen Chen turned his back to him and didn't look back, she understood, but now this is the best choice for Zhang Zhe. It's best to leave her. But she couldn't say anything cruel, and she couldn't even say a word of reproach in the face of Zhang Zhe. She had no choice but to bow her head in vain, suppress the cry back into her chest and follow the prison guard back.

"You don't want to leave me." At the last moment when the door closed, Zhang Zhe's voice came faintly from inside, It turned out that there was no bottom line when she was desperate, she thought that she was the most desperate when she bit the neck of her fellow inmates and was hysterical, but Zhang Zhe's face was in front of her, sometimes smiling and sometimes crying.

Chen Chen walked back to his cell and curled up in a ball of sobs on the narrow bed. Don't see him again, don't see him again.
