"Court dismissed!" As Jiang Fei forcefully ended the trial, Lina and her father were both taken away.
When Jiang Fei finished packing up and came out of the court, Lina was also going through the release procedures. Although she was also sentenced to a year in prison, there was a two-year suspension. If she performed well enough during these two years, she did not have to serve that year in prison.
Moreover, because the entire Gamma Dimension was not very big, there was no fear of the suspended prisoner escaping. So when Lina was released, she was not even required to wear electronic shackles or anything like that. She was directly released.
"Why didn't you let me die with my father?" Lina asked.
"You and your father were arrested, and I am somewhat responsible. Although I can't save the sheriff, I will still try my best to save you," Jiang Fei said.
"Do you think I will be grateful to you for this?" Lina asked, looking straight into Jiang Fei's eyes.
"I don't need your gratitude," Jiang Fei said calmly.
"From a pampered girl who goes in and out of the upper class all day to a prisoner, and then to a homeless person. I can no longer be accepted by the upper class, and can only live in a place like the slums. Do you think saving my life is a kindness to me? This is crueler than letting me die! "Lina said hoarsely. At this time, she was no longer as calm as before.
"You can live with me," Jiang Fei said.
"Hehe … Have you finally revealed your true nature? When I was still a princess, I asked to be with you, but you didn't agree. What? Now that I am a prisoner, do you think you can completely control me and do whatever you want to me? "Lina said with a sneer.
"I think you need to calm down. You have lost your rational judgment now," Jiang Fei said calmly.
"Yes, I am not calm now, but how do you expect me to calm down? My father is about to be executed in front of me! What about me? I am living with my father's murderer! Teach me, how do I calm down?! "Lina screamed.
Anyone could make sarcastic remarks if it had nothing to do with them, but no matter how calm and intellectual Lina was, she was still a woman. In the face of such a tragic situation, the fact that she did not break down showed that her mental endurance was strong enough. Jiang Fei could completely understand why she screamed herself hoarse.
"Cry, cry it out. Once you've calmed down, I'll take you to see your father for the last time." Jiang Fei said expressionlessly. Although he also felt that he had wronged Lina and her father, he did not feel that he owed them too much. After all, the positions of the two sides were completely different. His purpose in coming to the Gamma Dimension was not to benefit this place at all.
"Why don't you just let me die too!" Lina rushed forward and punched Jiang Fei's chest repeatedly. Jiang Fei did not resist, but he did not do anything else either.
"Sob sob sob …" Lina seemed to cry out all her grievances. She threw herself into Jiang Fei's arms and cried loudly.
"…" Jiang Fei was a little embarrassed. He raised his hand and wanted to hold Lina in his arms, but in the end, he gave up.
"Sob sob sob …" Lina cried very sadly. At first, she was still punching Jiang Fei crazily, but later, she simply threw herself into Jiang Fei's arms and cried.
"Sigh!" Jiang Fei sighed. He did not move. Instead, he let Lina cry in his arms.
After about half an hour or so, Lina gradually stopped crying.
"I'm sorry, I lost my composure," Lina said to Jiang Fei. At this time, she had regained her sanity. The presumptuous crying just now had allowed her to vent her inner emotions. At this time, she had returned to her previous intellectual and capable state.
"It's okay, just cry it out. You'll get sick if you keep holding it in." Jiang Fei nodded.
"Can you arrange for me to see my father now?" Lina asked.
"Should be possible." Jiang Fei nodded.
"Thank you," Lina said.
"You're welcome," Jiang Fei replied.
After that, Jiang Fei went to find the prison guards in charge of escorting the sheriff. Although he was sentenced to death by hanging, it could not be executed on the spot, so the sheriff had to be sent back to prison. They had not left yet.
"Do you know when my father is going to be executed?" Lina asked on the way to see her father.
"I'm not sure. You'll have to ask the consul," Jiang Fei said.
"Can you help me ask?" Lina asked.
"Do you want to see him off?" Jiang Fei asked.
"Yes! If it's possible, I want to help collect his body, "Lina said.
"I will help you ask," Jiang Fei said.
"Thank you." Lina nodded at Jiang Fei.
As the two of them spoke, they arrived at a reception room at the back of the court. The sheriff had already been brought there under the custody of four bailiffs.
"Dad …" Lina walked in.
"…" The sheriff was silent.
"Dad, I'm sorry I couldn't save you," Lina said.
"Live well …" The sheriff looked out of the window. He was feeling very complicated at this time. Although he could not escape death, his daughter was still alive. This was also something to be happy about. Unfortunately, he could not be happy. After all, he was not the kind of man who could laugh at life and death.
"Dad …" Lina had a lot to say to her father.
"Let's go …" The sheriff waved his hand. He didn't want his daughter to see him in such a sorry state. Although his character was weak, as a father, he still didn't want to leave a bad image in his daughter's heart.
"Dad, don't worry and go …" Lina came behind the sheriff and then lowered her voice. She said in a voice so soft that only the sheriff could hear, "Dad, I will avenge you. I will kill the consul with my own hands! And that Ralph! "
"Lina, it's good that you're alive …" The sheriff turned around, his eyes filled with complicated emotions.
"Dad, believe me. I will do what I say!" Lina said.
"Sigh …" In the end, the sheriff did not say anything. He turned around again, back to his daughter.
The sheriff knew his daughter too well. Once she was determined to do something, no one could persuade her. Moreover, his persuasion would only expose Lina's desire for revenge. When that happened, it would attract the suspicion of the consul. That would be too unfair to Lina.
So in the end, the sheriff gave up trying to persuade her. He was already a man who was about to die. Whatever Lina wanted to do, he would let her do it.
"Dad, I'm leaving. When the day comes, I will come and see you off," Lina said to the sheriff.
"Go …" The sheriff waved his hand without looking back. At this time, his face was already full of tears.
