Chapter 54: apologize

At four o'clock in the afternoon, at the gate of Jiangcheng No. 1 Prison.
I don't know if it was a coincidence, there was a silky little rain star in the sky, how similar to the night Shen Zhe was driving the accident.
The open ground outside the prison was already full of reporters. They were wearing bright colored rubber raincoats, set up their cameras, and pointed them at the gate of the prison. There were also many citizens who spontaneously came to watch in heavy rain.
Not long after, a black BMW drove up from the side of the road.
The prison door opened, and Shen Zhe was escorted out of the door by the prison guards. The was a female prison guard who took care of Shen Zhe in the prison.
She liked this sensible and polite boy. Before leaving, she adjusted Shen Zhe's collar and said, "Go out and live a good life."
"Thank Sister Liu."
Shen Zhi came out of the black BMW, greeted Shen Zhe excitedly, and called out with a trembling voice: "Azhe, mom is here to pick you up."
"Mom." Shen Zhe hugged his mother with red eyes, then turned to his brother, and the two brothers hugged hard.
Lu Lin patted him on the shoulder: "Let's go, get in the car first."
"Ok."
When the reporters saw Shen Zhe coming out, they swarmed up and the flashlight creaked. Lu Lin hung the mask that he had prepared on Shen Zhe's ears and protected him in the car.
"Shen Zhe, do you have anything to say to the victim of that car accident?"
"There are many remarks about you on the Internet. Do you have any response to this?"
"Did you commit suicide in the past because of conscience and guilt, or because you could not stand the pressure of public opinion?"
"Please tell us a few words!"
Lu Lin guarded Shen Zhe behind him and looked up at the reporter: "Shen Zhe has paid the price for what he has done. For the victims, our family is very guilty. At the same time, we will do our best to compensate them. May the dead Rest in peace, the living are strong."
At this moment, a pair of shoes flew from nowhere in the crowd, and was caught off guard against Lu Lin's forehead, immediately smashing a red mark.
There was an uproar around.
"The deceased rests in peace and the living is strong. The rich second generation drove and hits someone and escaped. He should be sentenced to death! After only three years of detention, he was released and the dog! You must have bought the judge! The rich second generation it! Damn it! "
"Brother!" Shen Zhe's tears fell instantly.
Lu Lin was expressionless, let Shen Zhi and Shen Zhe get in the car first, and closed the door. He wiped the blood from his forehead and looked at the camera: "Should you die or not, it's the law."
He slowly said: "My brother made a mistake, causing irreparable harm to another family, and also causing a bad influence on society. As the brother of the perpetrator, I am deeply sorry."
He bowed deeply to the camera.
"As the people's police, it is our duty to fight against illegal crimes and maintain fairness and justice." Lu Rin whispered: "But as a brother, I also bear an unshirkable responsibility for my brother's behavior. Please vent any dissatisfaction. Maybe come at me.
"It is the fault of the brother if it is not the fault of the father or the father is not there."
After Lu Rin said these words, the scene fell silent. Most reporters and citizens knew Lu Rin, the captain who always rushed to the front line, no matter who the husband beat his wife, short neighborhood disputes between the parents , Or undercover pyramid schemes or fighting against drug dealers, you can always see him.
Everyone turned off, Lu Lin sat back in the car, and the driver drove away.
Although Shen Zhi had been angry with Lu Lin before, she still cared about her son anyway. She took out a band-aid from her bag: ""Rin, show me my forehead. "
"Small injury, no blood shed." Lu Lin took out his cell phone indifferently and called the hotel side: "Well, let's come here now, four people."
Shen Zhi suddenly raised his head and said coldly: "What four people."
Lu Lin said, "I called Yan'er."
Shen Zhi's face suddenly changed: "Our family has a reunion dinner, what do you tell her to do!"
Lu Lin said, "She is also a family member."
Shen Zhe looked at Lu Lin and Shen Zhi without knowing it, and said, "Is that the older sister that day? I saw her."
Shen Zhi said emotionally: "I will not eat at the same table with her."
Shen Zhe said, "I know that sister was the reporter who reported on me before. She came to see me that day. She took my hand and cried all afternoon, and kept apologizing to me. I was embarrassed."
Lu Lin's heart was cruelly pulled, and he looked out the window, a bit to blame Shen Zhi.
Shen Zhi didn't speak quietly.
In the private rooms of the Century Hotel, all the fragrant meals have been served, but the people who are waiting have not appeared.
Shen Zhi said coldly: "You are looking at the door eagerly. People don't appreciate your face at all, and your efforts are wasted."
Lu Lin took his mobile phone out of the private room and called Jiang Yan.
Jiang Yan walked into a strange residential building and answered the phone: "Brother Lu Lu."
"What the hell, waiting for you to eat." Lu Lin lowered his voice, "My mother, my brother is waiting."
"I didn't say I won't come."
Lu Lin thought she was angry, but he didn't expect this guy to really...
"Jiang Yan, I didn't make a joke with you." He took a deep breath, and the tone turned sinking: "Between us, I have been working hard, but you, can you let me see your sincerity a little bit, leaving three years ago After that, it’s okay, you come back, I forgive you, we are still the same as before, we have to work hard to overcome any difficulties, but sometimes you make me feel that you are working hard, you care about me, and want to work hard with me Together, okay?"
After some heartfelt confession, there was a deeper silence on the phone.
Lu Lin's heart was getting colder.
"Lu Lin, today...really not good."
Lu Lin sneered and hung up the phone.
"Chun'er, give me a cigarette."
By the aisle of the residential building, Wang Huaichun took out the cigarette from his bag and handed it to Jiang Yan, then took out a lighter to light it.
The flames reflected on Jiang Yan's pale cheeks. Looking at the jumping flames, she hesitated for a moment, but after all, she collected the smoke.
"Forget it."
Wang Huaichun looked at her because she was unclear.
"If you have quit, don't pick it up again."
There was a hint of coolness in her eyes.
"Sister Yan, do you really want to do this? It's been so many years." Wang Huaichun said nervously, "If it is really reported, I am afraid..."
"No matter how many years have passed, wrong is wrong."
Jiang Yan walked towards the second floor of the residential building.
The anti-theft door at the end of the corridor on the second floor was rusty. Jiang Yan walked over and pressed the doorbell, which was also broken.
She and Wang Huaichun looked at each other, and then gently knocked on the security door.
Not long after, a man in his fifties opened the door of the room. He was wearing a black sweater and reading glasses.
"Two of them?"
"Hello, Mr. Liu, this is Jiang Yan. I called you before."
"Reporter Jiang, hello, please come in." Liu Huaishan opened the goalkeepers Jiang Yan and Wang Huaichun to greet them, and asked his wife to pour tea for the guests.
Several people sat down, and Wang Huaichun set up the camera, facing Jiang Yan and Liu Huaishan.
For three full days, Lu Rin ignored Jiang Yan again and didn't call her.
Jiang Yan called, but he didn't answer it either.
This time he was really angry and determined that he would not easily forgive the inexplicable woman.
Lu Lin is now the first two seniors. His younger brother’s affairs are raging on the Internet. Shen Zhe stayed at home and did not dare to go out. A few emotional people even held up banners and cursed at the door. Lu Lin not only wanted to protect his brother's safety, but also to calm his emotions. The police station still had a lot of things waiting for him to deal with.
The comrades in the police station actually admired Lu Rin from the bottom of their hearts. This man has heavy shoulders and can bear the burden.
In the past two days, everyone worked very carefully and tried not to trouble Lu Lin as much as possible.
Lu Lin had just walked into the police station that day, Xiao Wang hurried over, out of breath: "Lu... Marine, TV, TV broadcast!"
"What's the broadcast?"
"About your brother! And sister-in-law! She apologized! And, there is also Liu Ju, who has already retired, and he has come out to speak too!"
Hearing this, Lu Lin ran into the hall like crazy, stood at the table and stopped the car. Several police officers around put down their work and watched the TV on the wall.
The TV is broadcasting a reporter interview, and the subject is an old leader who has retired.
"I personally arranged Police Officer Lu to go undercover under the veteran drug dealer and destroy all the identity documents recorded. From then on, it is black or white. Maybe it is not clear, but as long as I live for one day, His status as an old Lu People's Police will not change."
Liu Ju shook his head and sighed: "Lao Lu was shot several times in the undercover mission and was dying when he was sent to the hospital. His wife was discussing business abroad, and only his son was in China."
"When I received the call, Shen Zhe and his friends were celebrating the championship, and they learned that his father was injured. He was in a car accident on the way to the hospital. He might have lost his mind and said a lot of things that shouldn't be said. Improper behavior, but I believe it was only due to anxious worries about the father’s life and death."
"Because Lao Lu's identity had not been cleaned up at the time, the news of his death could not be announced to the public except to notify his family."
"This is the whole secret behind the car accident that year. Two days ago, reporter Jiang found me. It coincided with Shen Zhe's release from prison. I thought it was time to tell the truth. It was unfair and left it to the hearts of the people. The steelyard used to measure it."
Old Liu changed his words and continued: "The police have been in control for many years, and the old bug finally fell into the hands of Officer Lu Lin, Lao Lu's son. I believe this is justice in the world."
Xiao Wang said: "It's worthy of being an old leader for so many years.
The camera turned to Jiang Yan, who was wearing a thin white shirt with no makeup powder applied, and she faced the camera without makeup.
Lu Lin's heart tightened.
"Lao Liu talked about justice in the world. A long time ago, I thought it was the mission of every reporter to pursue the essence of news. However, with my personal feelings, I praised fairness and justice, and listened to the report three years ago. That news accident pushed the perpetrator to the forefront of public opinion and brought him a disaster of extinction."
"I am not qualified to define the nature of a person. A reporter should treat every news event with awe and get to the bottom of it, but I have not done it."
She stood up and bowed deeply to the camera: "I solemnly apologize to Shen Zhe and all the audience, sorry."
Shen Zhi sat in front of the TV, her hands trembling, and her hand holding the coffee cup trembled. This was the first time Jiang Yan publicly apologized to her son. Although she had said sorry before, it was never out of sincerity. It's just because of Lu Lin.
The apology this time comes from the heart.
What Shen Zhi wanted was just such an apology. The reason why she hated Jiang Yan was that she had made a mistake but thought she had all the truth in the world.
Now she is like a general who has finally won victory after a long tug of war, but she doesn't feel the slightest joy in her heart.
She took out an old photo from the desk. The man in the photo was dressed in a neat military uniform. She shed tears silently, wetting the handsome face of the man in the yellowed photo.
"I hate you." She whispered: "I really hate you."
