When she saw and heard the figure in front of her and felt the warmth on her arm, a trace of surprise flashed across Zhu Jin's calm eyes. Could it be that she had entered someone else's body again? Zhu Jin sat up and looked carefully at the person in front of her.
"Miss Lian Nan, you finally woke up. Are you feeling unwell?" The person in front of her was wearing a strange black outfit, with her hair simply tied up behind her head. She was meticulous and her voice was flat but gentle.
"No." Zhu Jin did not rush to answer. He clasped his hands together and checked the pulse of the body without any expression before answering.
"I'm glad you're okay. The court is temporarily adjourned because of your fainting, but it's really only for ten minutes. The trial will definitely take place today, and the sentencing will continue even if you faint again." Gu Mu looked at Lian Nan in front of him with confusion and said tentatively, thinking of pausing if the situation was not right.
But she only looked confused, without any excitement, which was different from her previous state of being lifeless or emotionally excited until she fainted. Gu Mu was stunned after seeing Lian Nan's eyes with an inquiring look. Lian Nan's eyes were calm and confused. He looked at her calmly, and her clear eyes showed her complicated feelings.
Gu Mu quickly looked away, having an absurd illusion in his heart, as if his complicated thoughts in testing her would tarnish those peaceful and beautiful eyes.
Zhu Jin looked at everything unfamiliar in front of her, and listened calmly to words she couldn't understand at all. After the person who had been staring at her lowered his gaze, she smiled slightly, closed her eyes and entered a state of meditation.
After a moment, Zhu Jin opened her eyes again. Everything in front of her was still the same. The strange woman in black was looking at her nervously, "Miss Lian Nan? What's wrong with you?" The anxious voice, sprinkled on her face with the exhaled breath, and the touch of the hands on her arms was still extremely clear.
There was a flash of confusion in her eyes. She couldn't even leave this body. Zhu Jin frowned slightly.
What was going on? "Ms. Lian Nan?" Gu Mu's nervous voice sounded again. Zhu Jin looked at her and saw that beads of sweat had already appeared on the tip of her nose.
She was nervous. Zhu Jin smiled slightly and patted her hand that was still holding her arm soothingly, "I'm fine."
"I'm glad you're okay, Miss Lian Nan. I'll apply for... in-prison treatment for you after the trial." Gu Mu looked at her smile and suddenly felt very depressed. "Because we have all the evidence, the result of the second trial will probably be the same as the first trial, and the trial will not be stopped just because you fainted or for other reasons. I suggest..."
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by a knock on the door. Gu Mu had no choice but to stop talking and open the door, "…It's time to reopen the court. The defendant needs to take his seat!"
"Okay, thank you for your reminder." Gu Mu thanked him with a forced smile, turned back to look at Zhu Jin who was watching her quietly, "Ms. Lian Nan, we should go over there."
“…Let’s go.” Zhu Jin thought for a moment, closed his eyes and entered into meditation again. When his soul still couldn’t leave, he looked carefully at the body he occupied before standing up and nodding to Gu Mu.
Although it was unexpected, although everything in front of her was extremely unfamiliar, although she knew nothing and had no idea how long she would occupy this body, it was always right to face it.
She thought about it and looked at Gu Mu calmly, waiting for her to lead the way.
Gu Mu wanted to say something but stopped himself. In the end, he couldn't say anything. He opened the door, became alert, and asked Zhu Jin to go out.
Zhu Jin was confused as to why she suddenly became wary of her. She rolled her eyes slightly to observe everything that came into her sight and followed her calmly, not knowing that once she left the room, her every move was being broadcast live in the sight of everyone.
There was no real-time broadcast in the courtroom, only a large number of reporters waiting on the scene, taking photos before and after the court session and reporting the real-time situation without revealing specific information. As soon as Zhu Jin entered the courtroom, the recorders set by the reporters started to record her every move.
Seeing Zhu Jin, everyone in the plaintiff's box and the audience looked surprised. They had never expected to see such a Lian Nan.
During the first trial and before the adjournment, Lian Nan was in two states. One was that he was lifeless with a hollow look in his eyes, like a rag doll without a soul. Everything he said or did lacked life. The other was that he was emotionally agitated and out of control, with no composure at all.
Ten minutes passed between the time Lian Nan, who was so excited that he fainted, left and the time the court resumed. When he reappeared, he was still the same person, but completely different.
As Zhu Jin walked into the large, peculiarly decorated room, she stood for a moment when she saw many faces, and was then helped by Gu Muban to sit down in a seat. As soon as she sat down, she saw a man opposite her frowning at her.
It should be said that everyone was looking at her, and they couldn't take their eyes off her since she came into their sight.
In the past, Helian Nan was famous for her elegant temperament, whether she was sitting, standing or walking. But today's Lian Nan, who caught their eyes again after falling into a coma, is even more elegant.
As soon as she entered the courtroom, her back was straight and relaxed, her shoulders were level, her neck was straight, her chin was slightly pulled back, her eyes were looking straight ahead, her arms were hanging naturally, her hands were crossed in front of her body, and she looked calm and demure.
As she walked towards the dock, her hands remained unchanged, her upper body was straight, her eyes were looking straight ahead, her steps were light, her skirt fluttered, and she moved slowly and gracefully.
After taking his seat, Lian Nan stood up straight, with his chest puffed out, his upper body naturally straight and slightly leaning forward, his knees together, his hands naturally placed on his knees, his eyes looking straight ahead, calm and composed.
Everything seemed extremely familiar, as if we had returned to the time before the accident, yet it was also extremely strange.
Zhao Yu looked at his wife...ex-wife, who was so familiar and yet so strange. He looked at the strange and indifferent look in her eyes when she looked at him. His expression froze and his face turned pale. He stared at Zhu Jin for a moment before looking away with difficulty. He lowered his head slightly and lowered his eyelids to block the darkness in his eyes. Under the table was a fist that had turned white from excessive force.
Soon, the court session continued. Zhao Yu, who looked a little ferocious because he clenched his teeth, listened to everything the court said absent-mindedly. He raised his head slightly and looked at his ex-wife who was sitting in front of him and listening to the court session attentively, and fell into reminiscence.
His eyes flashed with an obscure and crazy light.
He never imagined that his wife would become his ex-wife.
He loves his wife Helian Nan, who is praised by everyone. When they first got engaged, he didn't have any feelings for her because he couldn't forget his ex-girlfriend Li Yu. But gradually, he fell in love with this woman who he had seen since childhood but had no connection with him at all, and who was completely different from the women nowadays.
Their engagement originated from a genetic matching document. Fortunately, his genes were the most compatible with Helian Nan's. When he learned the news, he accepted the engagement without a second thought despite being disheartened.
Deep inside he was filled with excitement, for the woman who was about to become his wife was the dream wife of every man on the planet.
Everything went smoothly afterwards. Meeting, engagement, dating, and wedding procedures were all put on the agenda one by one. Like many other men and women who are genetically matched and become couples, they were deeply in love.
The day before the wedding, they got their marriage certificate. Because they had to follow ancient customs, their first love had to be postponed to the wedding day. He was a little disappointed, but more expectant and happy.
In order to celebrate his marriage, he got together with his friends in advance to party and getting drunk was inevitable.
He was drunk and unconscious, and had sex with Li Yu who arrived later.
At the wedding the next day, the happiness in Helian Nan's eyes made him forget everything. That was their happiest time. Their wedding was broadcast live around the world and they received countless blessings.
After the wedding, with the blessing of relatives and friends, the two went on their honeymoon alone. On the way, the wife looked at the wedding gifts given by relatives and friends, talked to him, and gave him a kiss with his encouragement.
He remembered that he couldn't stop laughing at that time.
As the sun set, they arrived at their final destination. The most ordinary resort became the hottest place in the world because it became their honeymoon destination. He was still a little uncomfortable to be in the global public eye again. He sat in the car with stiff movements and waved to Helian Nan.
The next moment, he saw Li Yu not far away, with a mocking look on his face, staring at them intently. When he saw him, he raised his eyelids, his eyes full of teasing.
All he could do was get out of the car and let Helian Nan wait in it.
I got out of the car and rushed over to ask, "Why are you here? Didn't you say it was an accident?"
"Why did you come here? I just came to see you. Congratulations on becoming the princess's husband that everyone envies." Li Yu fiddled with her hair, looked him up and down, and smiled indifferently and mockingly, "Tell me, if she knew what we did last night..."
"Shut up!" Zhao Yu suddenly shouted and interrupted her! "Tsk, you dare to do it but not to say it!" Li Yu curled her lips, looked around impatiently and said, "I'm leaving, you can enjoy your honeymoon in peace..." As she spoke, her eyes suddenly widened, revealing fear and suspicion.
Zhao Yu turned his head and saw his wedding car rushing towards Li Yu at high speed. He also saw Helian Nan with a blank and crazy look in the car. Without thinking, he pushed Li Yu away. He had no time to avoid it and the wedding car hit his legs heavily.
Severe pain came from his lower body. He lay on the ground and saw Helian Nan getting out of the car. Her face was wet but cold as ice. She looked down at him with no life in her eyes. The last scene before he fainted was a few photos slipping out of her hands. The photos were all of him and Li Yu's intimate photos.
Both of his legs were amputated neatly below the knees. After rescue, his life is not in danger. However, due to the use of partial prostheses and excessive drugs in the reconnection of the severed limbs, his genes were damaged, and he will never be able to have normal offspring in this life.
Their engagement ended automatically, and Helian Nan committed the crime of injury in full view of the world, constituting invisible murder, and was sentenced to ten years in prison.
This was the court's first trial of Helian Nan. It was only half a month after the wedding day, and everything had changed.
I appealed again, and the trial started today. It has been more than a month since I saw He...Lian Nan again. Everything has changed.
