There was a great crowd outside city F's penitentiary. This prison was a normal looking one where average convicts were detained. It usually did not gather attention ever since this prison was built.
However, today, most dia was outside its gates with their caras and mics prepared. Among this crowd, there were two particular groups that stand out.
On the left side, was a group with a banner up high and spouting black gun* powder to Lu Jin. Reminding everyone that Lu Jin was Ming Zhi Yi's son and once the notorious villain's right-hand man. They claid to be the family mbers of the victims who haven't received justice because Lu Jin was freed.
Many reporters were flocking to their side to interview the victims' families one by one.
"That man is not human! He watched people get tortured beside his father! He was just the sa as that demon!"
"Ming Zhi Yi trained him as a murderer. He won't change in just three years! He should be eternally condemned!"
"There's no law for the rich! They are the laws! Lu Jin is backed up by those wealthy people. Is the governnt the wealthy families' dogs?!"
"It is so unfair! He deserved to rot in prison!"
Their claims were dramatic and convincing. That even so of the reporters started believing them.
However, if it's not for the loud people on the right side, their statent could be very well effective.
Contradictory to the left side, the other side had more crowds. They raised their banners even higher. And their shouts were even louder than the reporters around could not help but film them.
"We welco you, Sir Lu Jin! You saved my family!"
"Because of Sir Lu Jin, those corrupted officials have been put in their place!"
"The justice has been served, thanks to you!"
"If not for Sir Lu Jin, many of us are getting exploited by those corrupt companies."
"My brother died because of those bastards. But the case was buried because of those people. Because of Sir Lu Jin those bastards are finally in jail!"
"I am alive today because of Sir Lu Jin. I sincerely thank you!"
"Sir Lu Jin is a hero! He should be recieved warmly!"
These people were the family mbers of the victims and the victims themselves. They were really genuine with their thanks. So of them were sponsored by IHZHI and SC, but their reason was true.
The dia interviewed them one by one.
Due to the commotion of these two party, the morning was very lively.
A car parked a distance away from the overwhelming crowd.
Xiong Zhi glanced at the crowd from the window.
"Many people are sure waiting for him."
Linfeng was driving the car. He stared at the small crowd that was dissing Lu Jin. His eyes flashed with a dark glint. "I thought I cleaned up all of the families who wanted to create havoc. It seed so are spared and ca here."
"They surely hid well. Since they gathered in one place, it's easier to clean them up. We can do it later." Xiong Zhi ntally noted to take care of these people.
She was about to open the door when Linfeng stopped her.
"Hold on." Linfeng held Xiong Zhi's arm.
"There are many people. " Linfeng took a bag from the back seat. He took one black cap and placed it on Xiong Zhi's head. "They might recognize you."
Xiong Zhi touched the cap. She was wearing a short sleeve blouse and slacks. Although it was the simplest clothes she have, she carried them well that the dull design looked imposing. The black cap just made her look like a celebrity in hiding.
"It doesn't matter. Everyone knows and should know that Lu Jin is backed up by IHZHI and Xiong family." Xiong Zhi said unblinkingly.
Linfeng shook his head. He seriously thought that the cap did nothing to hide Xiong Zhi's attractive features. But just it made her more alluring and mysterious.
"Nope. I am not against everyone knowing that Lu Jin has us. But many strange people are here and they would see you up close. I can obstruct them from coming near to you, but I can't block their sight."
Xiong Zhi raised her eyes in confusion.
What's the matter if those people looked at her? She was already in the spotlight ever since her identity as the IHZHI's owner and taking the Chairman position in the Xiong empire was made public.
She was used to many eyes gazing at her in banquets and company etings.
Linfeng continued. "Especially, such crowd would surely have so perverted n who would have disgusting thoughts."
If Linfeng could, he would block all those eyes and pluck those malicious eyes for his Zhi'er.
Xiong Zhi: !
Xiong Zhi stiffened up. This made her rember sothing.
She took the bag from Linfeng and took another cap and placed it on Linfeng's head.
Linfeng who was flirting but got only got a cap in return: "...."
He was wearing a suit and it did not go well with the cap. However, Linfeng's tall figure and handso face overpowered the flaws.
Xiong Zhi shook her head. Linfeng was still dazzling . She took a mask and put it on Linfeng.
Linfeng was stunned. "What are you doing, Zhi'er? There's no need for to disguise-"
"People will see you."
Linfeng: ??
That's alright though. He was a man.
Xiong Zhi successfully put the mask on and added, "You have no idea what those won are willing to do just to get to see you or touch you."
The ridiculous comnts ca to Xiong Zhi' mind.
There was a reader that comnted she would do so r-18 stuff with Linfeng in her dreams. There was a reader who would like to stalk her Linfeng to explore his every angle. So even said that if they could touch Linfeng for a second they would die happy.
Xiong Zhi gritted her teeth. "Looking at you might give them so idea. It's better to cover you entirely."
Linfeng: "...."
At this ti, Tang Xinyang and Jang Shin arrived too. In their backseat was Tang Yin. They noticed the car that was parked away from the crowd and realized it was Linfeng's.
They parked beside Linfeng's car and lowered the window.
Tang Xinyang waved at them. "You guys are early. Where are the others?"
Beep!
There was a car just behind them. It was Guan Gu Ri's.
A little later, the group ca down from their car and maintained quite a long distance from the crowd. All of them looked at Linfeng who had a cap and a mask on.
"Why are we not inford that we would be disguising?" Tang Yin asked as she envied Xiong Zhi and Linfeng who got to wear a matching cool looking cap.
Linfeng coughed. "We are not disguising."
Xiong Zhi ignored Tang Yin and looked around. "Lu Yin Ze is not here yet?"
"He is already here since the day started." Tang Yin answered. "Look! The gate opened!"
The group all turned towards the gate that suddenly opened.
There were plenty of police officers and bodyguards with a black suits crowding a certain young man.
When the people saw the man at the center they imdiately flocked to the bodyguards and the noise turned several louder.
****
The flashes of caras were blinding. The noise was all jumbled up that it was hard for Lu Jin to hear out what the crowd was saying. Although they were a few sentences that reached him, he did not plan to comnt on them.
His eyes were only focused on one thing.
"Young master, Head Master is waiting for you ahead. Please endured it a little bit more." The head security of the Lu family that was sent by Lu Yin Ze escorted Lu Jin out of the crowd.
Black cars suddenly lined up and prevented the crowd from coming to all sides. The flashes of the cara turned to the cars. Such flamboyant show of escorting, many people were awed by it.
Seeing the familiar cars, the security on Lu Jin's side finally let out a sigh of relief.
In one of the cars, a door opened.
A man with silver hair and silver-blue eyes ca out.
He showed the most composed smile he could co up. However, the redness around his eyes gave him away. "I'm here to get you, brother."
