Chapter 367: No Peace in This Life
Wen Xin turned his head and stared at Lu Hong intently for a while, until Lu Hong's eyes became wandering.
"Lu Hong, the matter has not been concluded yet, and it's useless for you to tell me anything. I'm not a policeman, nor a judge, but I am Zhao Tianze's mentor."
"Whether he is a good guy or a bad guy, before he is convicted of a crime, my job is to take good care of him and give an explanation to his parents."
"Lu Hong, hiring a lawyer is a normal legal procedure. You can hire one. I am not biased towards anyone, and I am not protecting Zhao Tianze."
"If the final result shows that he is indeed guilty, I will definitely send him to prison myself."
Lu Hong was stunned by Wen Xin's righteous words, and Wen Xin then made a solemn statement.
"Lu Hong, although I am Zhao Tianze's mentor, I am also a teacher at Beijing University. Don't worry, I have my moral bottom line and will never help the evildoers."
"You should also relax. I used to do this to comfort myself when I encountered difficulties and felt overwhelmed."
Lu Hong stared blankly at Wen Xin pulling her hands together, her eyes following her gaze towards the blue sky.
"Lu Hong, look, the sky is so blue and pure. You must believe that there is a god above your head. All evil spirits, demons, monsters and monsters will not escape the judgment of justice."
"Even if she manages to escape, there will still be a more cruel mental trial waiting for her."
"Lu Hong, you must believe that the greatest torture for the person who hurt you is not going to jail, but seeing the wronged ghosts demanding your life and hearing the wronged souls crying out in grievance every night in your dreams."
"That frightened heart will never find peace in its life. Moreover, it will often bring retribution to her own relatives."
Wen Xin looked down at Lu Hong, whose eyes were filled with fear, and patted her shoulder soothingly.
"Lu Hong, justice is infallible, and the law will definitely give you justice. Just relax and wait for the wicked to be punished."
After saying that, she got into the car, took out the recorder from her pocket and turned off the button.
She equipped herself and Zhao Tianze with recorders and recorded all conversations with these sensitive people. Maybe it would be useful.
......
For several days in a row, Lu Hong took sick leave, saying that she was unable to attend classes due to severe psychological trauma.
Deputy Director Tian never stepped forward. When he met Wen Xin, he just greeted her politely without mentioning anything about Lu Hong.
Liang Yuling was so low-key that she seemed to have disappeared.
Wen Xin just watched silently, feeling the turbulent undercurrent beneath the calm surface, and seeing which direction things would develop.
Another Monday, Lu Hong was finally able to go to class, but heard a shocking news.
Zhao Tianze committed suicide by running to a mountain outside Beijing and taking sleeping pills.
When he was found, he was already in a deep coma and was sent to a high-end hospital in the suburbs of Beijing for emergency treatment. But two days later, he still did not wake up, and the doctor said he was already in a vegetative state.
After class, Lu Hong did not go out with everyone else, but hid in a corner of the classroom by herself.
These days, she feels like she gets weird looks wherever she goes. Although no one talks about it, she knows that she is the topic of conversation behind their backs.
The classroom door opened, Lu Hong looked up, and her pupils shrank.
"Teacher Wen..." Lu Hong stood up nervously, "Teacher Wen, how is Zhao Tianze?"
"He is in a deep vegetative state. The doctor said it would be a miracle if he could wake up."
Wen Xin's voice was hoarse, and her bloodshot eyes were full of fatigue. She handed a piece of letter paper in her hand to Lu Hong.
"Lu Hong, this is Zhao Tianze's last letter to you. Please take a look."
Lu Hong took it and opened it with trembling hands. Her eyes slid over the words and her hands shook.
Finally, tears welled up in her eyes and she lay on the table crying loudly.
Wen Xin took the letter from her hand and gently stroked the words on it.
"Tian Ze's handwriting is so beautiful, the most beautiful handwriting in the history department. I will never see it again."
Her voice was choked with sobs as she continued to read the words on the letter:
"Lu Hong, I once thought about facing the powerful with you. I would stay with you even if it meant we would fight to the death. But I didn't expect that you would choose to use me as a sacrifice."
"If this can help you escape from the clutches of the devil, then it can be considered that I have done something for you. However, the price is too high, so high that it requires my life. I would rather die than go to jail."
"...Lu Hong, I am the only son in the family. If I am gone, my parents will be old and have no one to rely on."
"For the rest of your life, if you still have a trace of guilt, I would be very grateful if you could send a little money to my parents so that they can struggle to survive in this cold world."
......
Lu Hong’s crying stopped at some point. She listened quietly to Wen Xin’s hoarse voice, which was almost a whisper. Her eyes were so empty that it seemed as if she had lost her soul.
Wen Xin folded the letter in his hand and gently put it back into Lu Hong's hand.
"Lu Hong, I don't know why you did this, but the price is really too high. I don't even know how to explain this to his parents."
"For them, the sky has fallen. As a mother, I understand best that their lives will be worse than death."
Wen Xin spoke softly, staring into Lu Hong's eyes, and finally saw a glimmer of tears in the hollow eyes.
She breathed a sigh of relief.
"Lu Hong, I'm a little out of control today. Even if what I'm going to say next will anger you, I still want to say it."
"I still can't accept that Zhao Tianze is a bastard. I know this kid too well. He is talented and a gentle gentleman."
"You are his first love, someone he cherishes so carefully, how could this happen... I really can't understand."
"Lu Hong, go to the hospital to see him when you have time. Even if he is just a body without a soul now, he is still the person who once had your heart and eyes full of you."
Wen Xin turned around with a choked voice, but her sleeve was grabbed by Lu Hong. She turned around and met a pair of red and crazy eyes.
"Teacher Lu, I want to call the police."
......
The atmosphere in the History Department of Kyoto University is very tense during this period.
Liang Yuling was taken away by the police and never returned.
Deputy Director Tian was also taken away for questioning, but fortunately he came back after the questioning. He was just pale and trembling.
A week later, Deputy Director Tian disappeared. It was said that he had resigned and was preparing to go abroad.
That day, Wen Xin had just driven away from the teaching building when he saw a figure standing on the road ahead.
It’s Lu Hong.
"Teacher Wen, thank you for hiring a lawyer for me. I didn't expect you would still help me."
At the dim light by the lake, Lu Hong was tearing the fallen leaves in her hands, tears filling her eyelashes.
"I know you have your reasons. I did this to give Zhao Tianze the greatest help and to avenge him."
Lu Hong looked at Wen Xin, tears streaming down her face: "Teacher Wen, it would have been great if I had chosen you as my mentor."
Wen Xin hesitated for a moment.
"I have investigated Deputy Director Tian. He values his career very much. Although he is a little bit vulgar, he will not easily touch someone he is not sure of. This time it must be Liang Yuling's handiwork. Even Director Tian was trapped."
The three words "Liang Yuling" made Lu Hong's hands tremble, and she huddled and hugged her arms.
"This devil, this pervert. Teacher Wen, do you know? She also wanted to attack Qi Xiaoke and Li Yun, but she chose him because she thought I happened to have that kind of relationship with Zhao Tianze."
Wen Xin nodded: "I know, what are your plans for the future? Which tutor are you going to follow?"
