The next morning, when Jiang Fei woke up, he found that Lina was not waiting for him in the kitchen with breakfast as usual. After washing up, Jiang Fei went to the kitchen to pour some milk and baked some bread. His cooking skills were not on the same level as Lina's, but it was not a problem for him to fill his stomach.
After breakfast, Jiang Fei waited in the living room for a while. He did not have to go to the city hall to work today, so he was not in a hurry.
About twenty minutes later, Lina walked out of the room with a haggard face. She barely slept that night. She watched her father being executed, but there was nothing she could do. This made Lina suffer all night.
Although she had long known her father's fate and was planning to avenge her father, her father's death was approaching, and Lina was still immersed in pain.
"Sorry, I got up late …" Lina said to Jiang Fei.
"Go wash up. My breakfast is average. You can eat a few bites, and then we have to go." Jiang Fei said.
"Okay!" Lina nodded, then went to the bathroom.
About half an hour later, Lina returned to her room. After a while, Lina walked out of the room. Jiang Fei could see that Lina had put on makeup, but it was not heavy. The main purpose of her makeup today was to cover up her haggard appearance. She did not want her father to worry about her when he was dying.
Today, Lina's attire was very simple and solemn. It was a bit like attending a funeral, but not so solemn.
"Eat some." Jiang Fei handed over the milk and bread.
"I can't eat …" Lina shook her head. She wanted to control her emotions, but she really could not.
"Well, forget the bread. Drink the milk and let's go." Jiang Fei said.
"Okay!" Lina nodded, then drank the milk and took out the food box from the refrigerator. In addition to the sheriff's favorite roast lamb, there were a few of his favorite dishes and liquor. These were all prepared by Lina for him yesterday.
After bringing the food box, Lina and Jiang Fei walked out of the house and got into Jiang Fei's car.
After that, Jiang Fei drove directly to the prison where the sheriff was held. As the entire city area of the Gamma Space was not that big, Jiang Fei drove to the gate of the prison after an hour.
"Lord Ralph, you are here!" The prison guards at the door were already waiting for Jiang Fei. They all knew that today was the day of the sheriff's execution, and Jiang Fei's Ralph identity was the warden.
"Is there anything wrong with what I've told you?" Jiang Fei asked.
"Don't worry, my lord. I've specifically told them not to mention the sentence to the prisoners," the warden said immediately.
"How is he?" Jiang Fei asked.
"He's still the same, a little dispirited, but still okay," the warden said.
"Alright, let's go in." Jiang Fei nodded, then walked into the prison. Lina also carried the food box and followed behind Jiang Fei.
Logically speaking, Lina and the things she brought with her had to be checked. However, she had followed Jiang Fei in after all. The warden definitely had to give Jiang Fei face. Moreover, today was the day of the execution of the prisoners. Even if Lina smuggled some things in, it would not be a big deal. Anyway, the Gamma Space was too small. Breaking out of the prison was equivalent to seeking death. Therefore, the warden was not worried at all.
After entering the prison, under the warden's guidance, Jiang Fei and the others went straight to the prison cell where the sheriff was imprisoned.
"My lord, he's in the innermost cell. We won't follow him." The warden stopped at the end of the corridor. Naturally, his subordinates also stayed there.
"Thank you very much!" Jiang Fei nodded at the warden, then walked in with Lina.
"Can you go in by yourself?" Jiang Fei asked.
"Yes!" Lina nodded, then Jiang Fei gestured to the warden. The warden pressed the remote button, and the lock of the sheriff's cell was unlocked.
Then, Lina pushed the door open and walked in. At this time, the sheriff was still sleeping, but he was very light. The sound of Lina's entry woke him up.
"You're here." The sheriff glanced at Lina.
"Yeah! Dad, I brought you some food, "Lina said.
"Are you okay outside?" The sheriff asked.
"I'm fine. Don't worry, I will definitely succeed!" Lina said with a determined look.
"…" The sheriff shook his head. He knew that Lina was referring to the matter of avenging him, but now that things had come to this, the sheriff had already accepted it.
As Lina spoke, she took out the food from the food box. The food box had a heating function, so at this time, the food was already cooked.
"So rich! There's even roasted mutton! "Without washing his hands, the sheriff directly grabbed a piece with his hand and put it in his mouth.
"Yeah! Old Fu Ji! " The sheriff's eyes lit up, then he asked Lina, "This thing is not easy to buy, then. You must have queued for a long time, right?"
"As long as you like it." Lina squeezed out a smile.
"Hehe, I like this bite …" Halfway through the sentence, the sheriff's expression suddenly froze, then he looked at Lina and asked, "Don't lie to me. Today, right?"
"Yeah!" Lina nodded with tears in her eyes.
"Sigh! What will come will come sooner or later! "The sheriff sighed. At this time, he was not as afraid of death as he was before the trial.
Perhaps these days made him think it through, or perhaps the approaching death made him see through it. Anyway, the death penalty was inevitable, so the sheriff knew that it was useless to struggle, so it was better to face it calmly.
"Dad, don't worry, I won't let it go!" Lina said while gritting her teeth.
"Forget it, you're a girl. Just live the rest of your life honestly. Don't mess around." The sheriff poured himself a glass of wine and then drank it.
"Forget it! I won't let it go just like that! "Lina said firmly.
"Silly girl!" The sheriff sighed, then said to Lina, "Come, have a few drinks with Dad!"
"En!" Lina nodded with tears in her eyes. At this time, she didn't know how she swallowed these dishes, nor did she know how the wine went down her throat, but Lina could clearly feel that her tears were constantly dripping into the wine glass.
"Don't cry, silly girl. The winner takes all. I lost, and this ending is natural. I'm already very happy that you can live," said the sheriff.
"Dad …" Lina finally couldn't help but directly throw herself into the sheriff's arms and burst into tears.
"…" The sheriff didn't speak, just held Lina in his arms, and gently patted her back.
