Chapter 69: Retraction of Confession
We walked into the courtroom. Luo Shicheng and Zhang Feng and others are at the forefront. I wore a pair of black sunglasses and walked at the end with two bodyguards, mingling with the strange crowd. My seat, far away from Luo Shicheng, but I can see the face.
When the time for the trial came, the opponent who sued Luo Shicheng walked in with his lawyer and others. The witness, too, walked into the scene with his toes in high spirits. He tilted the corners of his mouth defiantly, looked at Luo Shicheng contemptuously, and raised his middle finger high. Immediately, in just a second, the smug look on his face disappeared, but his eyes widened in horror, and he looked directly at the half-breed beside Luo Shicheng.
The Witness's footsteps seemed to be fixed there by a sucker, staring at his brother stupidly. His previously ferocious face began to twitch irregularly, and his vicious eyes gradually reddened. A moment later, he looked at Luo Shicheng fiercely, as if he wanted to swallow Luo Shicheng in one gulp. Luo Shicheng smiled at him and waved his hand gently.
The lawyer beside the witness urged him in surprise, and followed the witness's gaze to Luo Shicheng's side. But he, apparently not getting an answer, tilted his head and asked the witness something. But the witness did not seem to answer him, but quickly changed his mood and went to court with a pretense of composure.
When the judge announced that the witness was standing, the witness stood up stiffly, but did not speak for a long time. The lawyer next to him bowed his head and said something in his ear.
The bald plaintiff had vulture-like eyes and an ugly hooked nose. At this moment, the plaintiff's face was flustered and anxious, and he glared at the witness, shouting at the witness in disregard of etiquette: "Hey, stupid, you fucking talk fast!" This is the courtroom, not your reception room! ”
In the seats under the court, there was a commotion, and the sound of restrained discussion sounded. The judge took the gavel and tapped it lightly, ordering that the witnesses could speak.
The witness finally raised his head, and the corners of his mouth deliberately raised. He said in a loud voice in the direction of the judge: "I don't know much about the defendant, I don't really know anything about the business he runs, I only know that he is a rich and successful man, and that's it." The last time I testified in court, it was completely forced by the plaintiff to do it. If I don't help him testify with perjury, the accuser will send someone to kill me! ”
In and out of court, there was an uproar. The bald head of the plaintiff seemed to be on fire, and he frantically broke free from the police and tried to rush at the witness. But he was severely stopped by the police and ordered to calm down immediately.
"Judge, that witness is talking nonsense, he is clearly threatened by the accused! Otherwise, he would not have retracted his confession! He had been working under the defendant before, and he knew exactly what the defendant was doing! The plaintiff, violently probing his bald head, shouted loudly and excitedly. Like a big rooster fighting.
Finally, the judge adjourned the trial, and the case was announced at a later date.
I was secretly relieved, but I didn't completely relax. After all, the court has not yet acquitted Luo Shicheng. What if the plaintiff has great powers and finds a new witness?
I followed the two bodyguards out of the courtroom and slowly walked towards the van. Luo Shicheng walked ahead of us, occasionally pretending not to care, looking back at me. We got into the car and the doors were quickly closed.
The car sped off without delay. Passing through one empty wilderness after another, it seems that I am deliberately going around in circles. It wasn't until there was no vehicle behind that the car pulled into a wide road. At this time, several traffic policemen suddenly appeared in front of us, wearing fresh uniforms, and stretched out their hands to make a stop gesture to us.
Our car began to slow down. Zhang Feng looked at Luo Shicheng vigilantly: "Big brother, what's the situation?" How does it feel that something is wrong? ”
Luo Shicheng quickly ordered: "Everyone take good guys, get ready, this group of people is definitely not a traffic policeman!" Slow down and drive over first, and when you're about to drive in front of them, be sure to increase the throttle and rush over! ”
"Bing'er, squat down!" Luo Shicheng ordered me urgently. I squatted down the aisle in panic. Luo Shicheng knelt behind me, bent down to cover my body with his whole body, and protected me tightly. I was pressed to my knees, my breathing undulating erratically. Luo Shicheng's hands were propped up on the ground, and I saw that in his right hand, there was a miniature pistol at some point.
The car is getting slower and slower, almost coming to a stop. I heard the driver calmly press the window and say to the traffic police outside: "Comrade traffic police, are you investigating drunk driving?" If you need to show your documents, I'll give them to you. ”
In an instant, our driver exclaimed in a low voice: "Oh no, they have guns!" Everyone is ready! ”
The car slammed out like a rocket. Then there was a deafening sound of window panes shattering, as well as the sound of motorcycles starting behind. Strangely, I didn't hear a single gunshot, but the window glass was shattered.
The car drove forward for a long time. The sound of motorcycles behind disappeared, and only the whirring wind was in my ears.
Zhang Feng said calmly: "Okay, settle it." What's next? Pick up our car, just ahead. ”
Only then did Luo Shicheng get up, pull me up, hold me in his arms, and ask me with concern: "Bing'er, are you okay?" Didn't get hurt, did you? ”
I couldn't recover for a moment, as if I had been stupefied by the sudden situation. I shook my head and said slowly, "Why could I be injured?" No gunshots were heard. Why did the glass shatter on its own? ”
Luo Shicheng's face flushed nervously, and after hearing my words, he smiled helplessly. "Alright, Bing'er, we've just been through a game. It's a game of playing glass. ”
Luo Shicheng helped me in the seat, glanced at the people in the car, and asked, "Is anyone injured?" ”
"No one was hurt!"
Luo Shicheng laughed and said lightly: "I didn't expect this bald man to dare to be so rampant here." Did he think it was abroad? Can you raise a gun and fight at every turn? If I had known this guy was so crazy, I should have come here in a bulletproof car today! Zhang Feng, after a while, everyone else will get into the car that picks us up. You and I stayed, and you immediately reported the crime, saying that we encountered a group of motorcyclists posing as traffic police on the way, as if they were racing cars! Our vehicle was strongly attacked by unknown objects, and all the windows were shattered! ”
I changed to another car with the others and left quickly. I don't know how long I drove, but the car stopped next to a highway and flashed double. After about half an hour, Zhang Feng's car caught up.
Luo Shicheng got out of the car, got into our car, and sat next to me. He leaned out of the window and said to Zhang Feng: "You drive the car to the repair shop first, and then go to the shop in Xicheng to find us, tonight you have to completely relax and suppress Bing'er." ”
Zhang Feng agreed with a smile and drove away.
Luo Shicheng turned his head and said to the people in the car, everyone will go to the store in Xicheng tonight and have a three-day holiday! I'll pay for all the costs!
Cheers and words of thanks rang out from inside the car. I stared at these people in a daze, their faces still covered with dust and their hair still stained with glass ballast, but their expressions were so indifferent.
Luo Shicheng turned to look at the mixed-race man and said to him solemnly: "I'm sorry for making you frightened!" Do you need to stay here for a few days? I will respect your decision. ”
The mixed-race man said, "Brother Luo, since I've finished helping you do things, I want to fly back tonight." At home, there are still wives and children waiting for me, and I don't want them to worry about me. ”
Luo Shicheng nodded and said, "No problem, I'll let someone arrange it for you, and someone will take you to the airport later." In the future, if you have any difficulties, don't forget to come to me! ”
When we arrived at the Xicheng Hotel, I was still in shock. Luo Shicheng put his arm around my shoulders and said, "Bing'er, the dinner is not ready yet, let's go take a shower and change our clothes first." I have my own room here and have someone ready for you to change your clothes. After you take a shower, you can lie down for a while and rest. ”
I really didn't expect that Luo Shicheng still had a room here. How many places does he have to stay? It feels like he's a flying man who has a lot of luck on his whereabouts. He can travel at any time, hide at any time, and no one can know his movements.
I followed Luo Shicheng into his room. Oh my God, where is this just a room? It's clearly a big set of mansions that can take care of both living and working! After taking a bath, I felt my nerves gradually relax, and I lay down on the bed and fell asleep unconsciously. When I woke up, Luo Shicheng was lying comfortably on my side, looking at me with tender eyes.
"Bing'er, do you remember what happened during the day?" Luo Shicheng kissed my forehead and asked me in a low voice.
I tried to recall, but I couldn't, and my mind went blank.
I said disappointedly, "I should finish my diary and go to bed!" It's good now, I don't remember anything. However, I vaguely felt as if I had just experienced a terrible event. I can't remember what it was. ”
Luo Shicheng laughed. "Bing'er, I really envy you. You didn't experience anything terrible, you just followed me to the amusement park and played a thrilling game. However, I think your memory has improved. Every time you wake up now, it seems like you still remember who I am. Never again, every time I wake up, I will yell at me, asking who am I? Also, you mentioned keeping a diary just now, and I didn't mention it beforehand. ”
I smiled embarrassedly. If you think about it, that's true. I woke up just now, and when I saw Luo Shicheng for the first time, my heart was warm and safe. Perhaps, my limited memory has taken the lead in remembering Luo Shicheng. In my memory, there is only one person stored in Luo Shicheng.
Luo Shicheng fed me a glass of water, helped me change into casual clothes, and went downstairs to eat.
Xi Cheng and Zhang Feng had been waiting in a single room for a long time. There were just four of us in the room, and no one else. All kinds of delicacies were quickly served. Everyone was eating and drinking happily, and although there were not many words, everyone's demeanor was relaxed and comfortable.
"Big brother, you are really clever and strategic!" Xi Cheng admired and toasted to Luo Shicheng.
Luo Shicheng remained silent, took a sip of his wine glass, and said indifferently: "The court's verdict has not yet come out." ”
Zhang Feng said calmly: "The result can already be imagined. The witnesses have all retracted their confessions, what else can the plaintiff do about his bald head? ”
Luo Shicheng smiled, tilted his head slightly, and drank all the wine in the cup.
Zhang Feng walked up to Luo Shicheng and poured him full of wine.
"Zhang Feng, you can also get drunk tonight! I'm staying here with Bing'er tonight, so I don't need you to drive us. Luo Shicheng looked up at Zhang Feng and said.
Zhang Feng said happily: "Okay, big brother, then I'll open meat." ”
Xi Cheng grinned and said, "Big brother, why don't you stay here for a few more days, so that I can add some nutrition to my sister-in-law." No matter how delicious the meal is, it is packed in a take-out box and simmered for a long time, and the taste is not as good as that just out of the pot. ”
Luo Shicheng looked at me and laughed heartily: "Okay, Bing'er and I will stay here for a few more days." If you can't feed Bing'er fat, you kid be careful for me! ”
Xi Cheng folded his hands and said to me, "Sister-in-law, did you hear the order of the eldest brother?" You must let go of the amount of food, otherwise my life will be in danger. ”
I laughed embarrassedly and whispered disgust at Luo Shicheng.
Zhang Feng's phone rang. In a few short sentences, it's over.
Zhang Feng looked at Luo Shicheng and said, "Big brother, he has safely stepped on the plane back to China." ”
Luo Shicheng took a deep breath and nodded heavily. "Thanks to this man!"
"Big brother, isn't this because you helped him in the past and have been kind to their family? That's why people will know their kindness and come all the way over, risking their lives. ”
"That incident, if he hadn't brought it up, I'd have forgotten it. Who would have thought that he would be able to help him afterwards? Luo Shicheng smiled disapprovingly, raised his hand and scratched his hair a few times.
Luo Shicheng attaches great importance to love and righteousness, cherishes family and affection, what a rare and good husband this is! I sighed to myself.
