Chen Rui refused to appear in court as a tainted witness.
Although he knew all the truth, and even knew that the death of his mother was also related to the third master, he said to An Luo: "No matter who the third master is or what he has done, he has been with me for twenty years. If it wasn't for him, I would have starved to death. You asked me to testify against him in court, but I couldn't do it."
"Xiao Rui..." An Luo still wanted to persuade him, but meeting Chen Rui's firm gaze, An Luo finally gave up the idea of persuading him. Chen Rui's personality may be a bit extreme, but he is also a very affectionate person. He personally identified his adoptive father who had brought up him, but he refused to do it, and he really couldn't do it.
On the day of the trial, An Luo and An Ze rushed to the court scene together.
Because of the entanglement of interests of a huge drug trafficking group and the pressure of the Xu family behind the scenes, the trial was not open to the public. The third master, who was standing on the trial stage, accepted the court's sanctions as his real name Xu Ziming, but only the insiders were Few people.
Chen Rui refused to testify in court and could only stand in the dock, which troubled Anze for a long time. Fortunately, the lawyer An Ze hired was powerful enough to tell the court how Chen Rui was adopted by the third master in detail. He lost his mother at the age of five, his father could not come back from other places, and his brother lost his memory and ignored him. , The lonely child waited at home for a week in a daze, and was finally adopted by a passing underworld boss. From then on, he had to take a road he didn't want to go.
This defense made Chen Rui a victim, and even the judge sympathized with Chen Rui.
In addition, Su Zihang pointed out that Chen Rui had not done any heinous crime as an undercover police officer.
After all the lawyers and witnesses had spoken, the judge announced a ten-minute adjournment for sentencing.
These ten minutes were longer than ten hours for An Luo. He kept looking at Chen Rui's direction worriedly. An Ze gently held his slightly trembling hand on his knee, as if giving him strength. , clasped his fingers tightly.
Ten minutes later, the judge finally took the stage and announced the final verdict.
"Defendant Xu Ziming was convicted of manufacturing drugs and illegally smuggling drugs, and was sentenced to life imprisonment and confiscated all his property. Defendant Chen Rui, who assisted defendant Xu Ziming in selling drugs, did not report his knowledge. Anyone who commits any act of harming others shall be given a lighter punishment and shall be sentenced to three years in prison…”
Three years are neither short nor long. Chen Rui is still young, and he still has a long way to go. An Luo believed that Chen Rui could survive these three years, and he would wait for the day when his brother was released from prison with An Ze.
Before Chen Rui was taken to prison in handcuffs, he suddenly turned his head and said, "Brother."
An Luo hurriedly said: "Don't worry, Xiao Rui, three years will soon pass, An Yang greeted the prison guards, they will take good care of you and won't let you be bullied."
Chen Rui smiled slightly, "Brother, you underestimate me too much. I don't bully others. It's time for them to burn incense."
"..." An Luo looked at him awkwardly.
Chen Rui put away his smile and said seriously: "Three years later, my brother will come and pick me up from prison. On the day I get out of prison, I want to eat the barbecue you made by yourself."
After he said this, he turned around and left, but An Luo's nose was sore because of these words, and his throat was so choked that he couldn't speak.
Yes, that unfulfilled barbecue as a child has been missed for twenty years.
After three years, my brother will make it for you by hand.
On the way back, An Luo couldn't help but tell his plan: "After Xiao Rui is released from prison, he will definitely not come to work in our company because of his personality, I have prepared some funds for him to let him open his own company to study. To be the boss. Anze, what do you think?"
An Ze looked back at An Luo and said in a flat tone, "Is that the money grandpa left you?"
An Luo did not deny it, "Well, grandpa once left me an emerald ring, which can be cashed in a Swiss bank. It was his secret savings over the years. At that time, I thought about leaving the ring to you, but now , You are already the president of Huaan Group, you don't need that money. And after Xiao Rui was released from prison, if he didn't have money, it would be difficult for him to survive in society, so... "
An Luo's words were a little uneasy. He was afraid that An Ze would feel uncomfortable and think that his brother was too partial.
During the period when Chen Rui was hospitalized, An Luo was always with him at the hospital. He chatted with Chen Rui in the hospital all day to relieve his boredom, but he seldom paid attention to An Ze, but when he came home every night, An Ze would make dinner. , did not say a word of displeasure to his late return, and still had a gentle smile on his face.
An Luo was moved by his thoughtfulness. During this period of time he was busy with Chen Rui's affairs and had been ignoring him. An Luo also felt a little apologetic.
Seeing that An Ze was silent, An Luo thought he was angry, and said uncomfortably, "I'm so nice to Xiao Rui, do you have any opinion?"
An Ze said calmly: "The time you were kidnapped by him, he kissed you, and even drugged you and almost raped you. Do you think I would have any problem with him?"
An Luo hurriedly held An Ze's hand and explained: "He was just too impulsive that time, and his actions were a little extreme. Don't think about it, I only have brotherly love for Xiao Rui."
An Ze glanced at the slender fingers that held him tightly, and a slight smile appeared on the corner of his lips, "What about me?"
An Luo was stunned for a moment, and said awkwardly: "To you... don't you know?"
"I don't know." An Ze looked back at An Luo seriously, pretending to be serious, "You never said you love me."
"..." Is there anything else to say? If he didn't love him, with An Luo's personality, how could he tolerate him being arrogant on the bed again and again, and if it was someone else, he would have been crippled with one kick.
"I want to hear an answer from you." An Ze's eyes were serious and persistent, "Do you love me? Brother?"
An Luo was silent for a long time, and finally squeezed a word from his teeth: "Well."
An Ze smiled in a good mood.
"I love you too."
He decisively stepped on the brakes and stopped the car on the side of the road. An Ze came over and kissed An Luo's lips enthusiastically.
An Luo's personality made it difficult for him to say the words "I love you" in his own words. One "um" was enough for Anze.
After the suffocating long kiss, An Ze whispered in his ear: "Chen Rui is your younger brother, you can care more about him, as long as it doesn't exceed the bottom line, I don't mind. I just need to be sure. It's enough that the person you love is me."
An Luo glanced at him lightly, "Aren't you jealous?"
If you weren't jealous, how could the kiss just now be so intense and crazy
An Ze stared at An Luo, and after a while, he shrugged helplessly, "Okay, well, although the words are beautiful, I still feel a little jealous in my heart. I will be jealous of anyone you are nice to... But I can overcome it, really overcome it. When it doesn't work, I'll drag you to the bedroom to prove it with action."
"... Nonsense." An Luo couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips slightly and laugh at An Ze's straightforwardness. This An Ze is really young and energetic, and his desires are particularly strong in certain aspects. After being with him for a long time, An Luo feels that he is about to be ruined by him. I used to feel awkward when doing that kind of thing, don't talk about it now. Is it awkward, sometimes I look forward to it
An Ze stared blankly at his smile. After a while, he leaned into his ear and whispered, "Has anyone told you that you look good when you smile? Besides, after being with me, You seem to be smiling more and more, it seems that you really like me..."
An Luo immediately interrupted him with a cold face, "Drive your car!"
"Yes!" An Ze leaned over in a good mood and stole a kiss, then turned around and started the car.
The black car slowly drove towards the bustling city. The passenger seat of this car is An Luo's exclusive seat. An Ze never let anyone sit in that seat, because that seat is not only the only seat beside him, but also the seat reserved for his partner. location, and still have sweet memories of their first time in the car.
An Ze smiled slightly, shook An Luo's hand lightly and said, "Let's go home."
An Luo nodded, "Yeah."
Looking at the scenery outside through the car window, An Luo inadvertently discovered that his face reflected in the car window did indeed have a faint smile, and that smile was relaxed and seemed to be happy.
The bitter love of the past life has long since passed, and the hardships of this life have also passed.
In the two worlds of wandering, there is no other time that can compare to the peace and tranquility that is sitting beside him at the moment.
