Chapter 23 Condemned To Death
The string that had been tense in her heart inexplicably loosened...
The next day, she received a notice from the court that Mu Luozhong's corruption case would come to trial today...
Mu Nuanxin was instantly confused. Her eyes dulled and she almost fainted. Long Qingyue didn't even care about her father's affairs. She knew that once this matter entered the judicial process, it would be difficult to save people.
It seemed that a big rock was on her chest, making her almost breathless. Yang Peijie walked in from the outside and looked at her coldly, as if she was looking at an enemy.
"Mom..." Her lips moved lightly, but she couldn't say anything.
"Let's go. Go to the courthouse!" After Yang Peijie finished speaking, she turned around and walked out of the house first. Mu Nuanxin could only follow her quickly.
In the courtroom, the solemn national emblem hung high on the wall. Since his father was arrested, it was the first time that Mu Nuanxin saw her father. Her tears flowed fast.
"Luo Zhong, Luo Zhong!" Yang Peijie looked at her husband excitedly and was about to go over. But she was stopped by the marshal. She turned around and lay in Mu Nuanxin's arms and began to cry.
"Dad..." Mu Nuanxin also looked at her embarrassed father. Her tears couldn't help falling. She hadn't seen him for more than ten days. He had lost several pounds. He was not as high-spirited as before and was depleted.
Mu Luozhong looked at his wife and daughter and smiled at them soothingly. Then he turned to face the judge and stood up.
He, Mu Luozhong, had never done anything wrong to the country or the people. He had a clear conscience, so he was not afraid of being framed by these people. He believed that the country would return him to his innocence!
What followed was a lengthy trial. Although Mu Nuanxin did not understand the law, she also understood that the existing evidence was very detrimental to her father.
Three hours later, it was time for the court's sentencing. Everyone stood and waited for the final sentencing.
"The solid evidence showed that Mu Luozhong embezzled the huge amount of embezzlement. Besides, Mu Luozhong was unwilling to reveal the whereabouts of the illicit money and his attitude was very bad. This court finally sentenced Mu Luozhong death penalty and deprivation of political power for life!"
After the judge pronounced the sentence, the hammer fell heavily. The crisp sound hit Mu Nuanxin.
"No, Luo Zhong... Luo Zhong..." Yang Peijie couldn't stand the blow. She desperately called her husband twice and fainted on the spot.
"Mom...Mom...Dad..." Mu Nuan hugged her mother's limp body nervously, and looked anxiously at her father who was about to be taken away, her heart was sinking to the bottom...
"Peijie... Nuanxin, promise dad you would take good care of your mother and young sister..." Mu Luozhong suddenly came to his senses after hearing the sentence. What he thought the country would prove his innocence was just his wishful thinking...
Someone was bound to take the blame the one billion. So he, the powerless little mayor, became the best candidate to be a scapegoat.
"Dad..." Mu Nuanxin burst into tears. It was this man who taught her what selfless love was and what the warmth of a family was. But now seeing him being wronged to death, she can't do anything...
That kind of helpless pain was about to make her mental breakdown...
"Nuanxin, promise Dad, or Dad will turn over in my grave!" Mu Luozhong suddenly broke free from marshals and rushed to his daughter's side, grabbing her hand tightly. His tears kept falling from his cloudy eyes. He really didn't want to be wronged and driven to death like this...
