When Lu Jiuchuan heard Luo Qianyu's movement, he also sat up and looked at her from a distance in the pitch-black darkness.

"If I say I believe you, do you believe me?"

Luo Qianyu was very clear about how lame the reason he gave was, but Lu Jiuchuan actually said he believed it?

His tone sounded calm and without any emotion, just like the way he usually spoke.

She didn't feel threatened at all, so she relaxed her tense nerves a little:

"Why?"

"Because you are my wife, I am willing to believe you until there is substantial evidence."

"You said the same thing to Qiu Zheng?"

"Yes! I told him that I believed you. I also promised that if you were an enemy spy, I would personally send you to the Public Security Bureau."

Luo Qianyu felt that he already understood Lu Jiuchuan's way of thinking.

Because she is your wife, you can treat her well unconditionally and trust her as long as it does not violate the legal and moral bottom line.

Most likely, it came from the education and indoctrination that Zhang Guifen gave to Lu Jiuchuan since he was a child. It was like she gave him a formula and set orders, and he executed them unconditionally.

It has nothing to do with feelings!

It doesn’t matter who the object is!

Wood is just wood, what is there to talk about?

He said he believed it, so let’s just assume that he really believed it.

"Oh! I see. Do you have anything else to say?"

She completely ignored the fact that she had emotional demands on Lu Jiuchuan that went beyond the scope of a "partner".

Lu Jiuchuan, who was not good at communicating with the opposite sex, was choked by her again. He didn't know what to say next, but he didn't want to make her angry.

After holding it in for a long time, he finally managed to utter:

"Ayu, don't be angry. I believe in you, and I also believe that day will never come."

"Thank you for your trust. I'm not angry." Luo Qianyu lay down again and cut off the topic. "Go to sleep! There are still a lot of things to do tomorrow."

The night fell into silence. The couple both stared blankly in the darkness with their eyes wide open. Each of them had their own troubles in their minds, but they were equally unable to sort out their own emotions.

The small guesthouse room was so quiet that even the ticking of a watch could be heard clearly.

The next day, Lu Jiuchuan rarely got up early.

Qiu Zheng, holding a freshly baked steamed bun, knocked on the door to wake him up against the morning light.

"Brother Jiu, it's almost time. I'll wait for you and sister-in-law outside."

Ten minutes later, Luo Qianyu got on a police tricycle and was taken to the execution site.

From a distance, one could see a lot of people gathered in three layers inside and outside, rotten vegetable leaves were flying everywhere, and occasionally there were a few small stones or pieces of soil.

There were many militias and public security officers around to maintain order, but they turned a blind eye to the behavior of the masses and allowed them to attack with words and actions.

Qiu Zheng put the siren into his mouth and blew it, making a "beep" sound, accompanied by the "thump thump" roar of the motorcycle, to clear a path.

In the middle of the open space, Niu Dazhuang, Yan Xiuqin, Yang Zhengan and Qian Wang were kneeling in a row with their hands tied behind their backs and their mouths blocked.

There was a sign hanging on their chest, with their names written on the upper part and the two crimes of human trafficker and enemy spy written on the lower part.

Behind him stood four police officers in police uniforms with guns in their hands.

Qiu Zheng parked the car, straightened his expression and said:

"Brother Jiu, sister-in-law, you guys stay with me, there's no need to squeeze."

After saying that, without waiting for the two to respond, he walked directly to the table that had been set up in advance.

Luo Qianyu was protected by Lu Jiuchuan, holding his arm and following closely.

I didn't expect anyone to recognize her.

"Are you Luo Qianyu? Are your injuries fully healed?"

"She's the one who caught the human traffickers, right? She looks small, but I didn't expect her to be so brave."

"She is mentioned on the radio every day. The province has commended her as a women's representative and a people's hero!"

"I saw it all when her husband took her to the hospital that day. There was so much blood flowing."

"Yes, I was there that day too. Damn those human traffickers. I came here today specifically to see how they died."

"Hey, Luo Qianyu, are you healed? Say something."

Others who didn't recognize her were also attracted by the commotion here.

In this era of slow information flow, the county radio station broadcast the news morning and evening for a week, making her name almost a household name in Yang County.

Luo Qianyu never thought that she would become famous in just one battle. It was really an unexpected success.

If she wants to do some publicity in the future, she has the two titles of "Women's Representative and People's Hero" to support her.

He immediately raised his voice and answered:

"Thank you for your concern. My injuries are all healed now."

The crowd's enthusiasm was ignited and they crowded towards her. Those standing far away also stood on tiptoe and stretched their necks just to catch a glimpse of her appearance.

Some people even reached into their pockets or took out the baskets on their wrists and insisted on giving her something.

It was just like the scene of celebrities going out in the streets in later generations.

Lu Jiuchuan was forced to play the role of a security guard, stretching out his arms to protect her tightly.

Qiu Zheng looked at this scene and hoped from the bottom of his heart that she was an upright hero.

The masses need role models!

He secretly decided that, for both public and private reasons, he would not let the investigation affect Luo Qianyu before there was evidence, and he would find out the results as soon as possible.

He glanced at the time, the surging in his eyes was replaced by frost, and he picked up the speaker on the table:

"Everyone, be quiet. The execution is about to begin. Now, read out the crimes committed by Niu Dazhuang, Yan Xiuqin, Yang Zhengan, and Qian Wang."

He took the manuscript handed to him by his subordinates, read out the crimes, and then gave some ideological education to the people at the scene.

At the last command, the police behind the four men raised their guns, followed by uniform gunfire...

Red blood splattered, ending the lives of four prisoners.

At the same time, Luo Qianyu whispered:

"Ouch."

She immediately covered her face, turned sideways, and buried her head in Lu Jiuchuan's chest.

Qiu Zheng didn't miss this scene out of the corner of his eye and was very satisfied with her fear.

This is the normal reaction of a 20-year-old woman to an execution.

There was a flash of heartache in Lu Jiuchuan's eyes. She was just a little girl and had never seen such a horrible scene. He really shouldn't have brought her here to watch the execution today.

Feeling her trembling, Lu Jiuchuan felt a little guilty. He put his arms around her shoulders and patted her to comfort her:

"Don't look! I'm here, don't be afraid!"

"This approach can deter evildoers and prevent more people from being harmed by them."

Luo Qianyu took the opportunity to put her arms around his narrow waist, like a frightened little white rabbit, and put her face on his chest.

I could feel his chest vibrating slightly as he spoke, and my ears were filled with his strong heartbeat.

The fear is fake, but the blushing is real.

Luo Qianyu took back the hand that was around his waist and gently pushed him:

"I'm not scared, but seeing people die in the blink of an eye makes me feel that life is so fragile that I was frightened for a moment."

After saying that, he turned his head to look at the field to hide his embarrassment.

But the next second, Lu Jiuchuan's hand on her shoulder pulled her back to his chest, and his other hand pressed her head.
