Because the verdict was announced publicly, not only were members of the public present, but countless reporters were also on standby, broadcasting the entire proceedings live.
Previously, due to the stalemate in the case, the audience's attention was focused on the evidence, and there were very few comments in the live stream.
Even reporters suspected that the two million viewers in the live stream were all AFK (away from keyboard).
But right after Si Jin finished speaking, the barrage of comments suddenly exploded.
—Ahhh! Your Honor, the death sentence can now be pronounced! That's so powerful! I love it!
—JinJin is so cool! Life is tough, even voice actors are suing!
—No, no, no, life is tough, CVs do research, haha.
Wow! I thought Li Sijin was just a voice actor, but she's so amazing. She became the vice president of the International Biological Association in just one month. She's a genius!
—Forgive me for not knowing much about the voice acting industry. I was just attracted by his looks. Tell me what he has voiced?
—He voices the male lead in the recently popular TV series, a man who has dominated most of the dubbing industry in the country! He's a professional male lead actor.
The live stream chat was still buzzing when the judge's gavel fell.
The death sentence was pronounced and carried out a week later.
In the context of the country's laws, this is considered to be the shortest execution period for the death penalty.
The moment Mu Huaiyang was led away by the police, thunderous applause erupted from the gallery.
The crowd cheered for justice: "I knew Mu Huaiyang was a scoundrel! He deliberately raised drug prices to make money! Many mental patients can't afford their medication, and their families have no choice but to steal, rob, or commit crimes. But it's actually a case of technological monopoly and capital manipulation!"
"Mu Huaiyang's data was obtained from experiments on living people. No wonder it's more accurate than the data obtained by others using lab rats. He's an absolute beast!"
"Don't insult animals! He's worse than an animal!"
Once everything was over, Si Jin took Zhong Linyuan's hand and led him step by step out of the courthouse.
As I left, I even winked at the camera of a group that was doing a live stream.
Her peach blossom eyes, opening and closing, exude a myriad of charms.
The live stream chat exploded once again:
—Wow, Jinjin winked at me. This must be love, right?
—Ahhh! Mom, I'm in love!
—Don't get excited, ladies. Zoom in and look closely. Isn't he holding that Zhong something-or-other's hand, their fingers intertwined?! Isn't that too ambiguous?
Is he a friend or a boyfriend? Someone please tell me, so I can stop thinking about him!
… …
Si Jin walked out of the courtroom, leaving the live broadcast room far behind, and focused on taking care of Zhong Linyuan's emotions.
When Zhong Linyuan saw Mu Huaiyang brought to justice, his eyes welled up with tears.
Fifteen years, more than five thousand four hundred days and nights.
His parents finally got justice.
He finally dared to step out of that dark basement, break free from aversion therapy, and embrace the light that belonged to him.
The warm sunlight fell on the two of them.
Zhong Linyuan felt a little more at ease once he was away from the crowd.
He looked down, staring blankly at Si Jin holding his hand.
After staring at it for a while, I suddenly didn't want to go any further.
So he stopped and pulled Si Jin into a sparsely populated alley.
As soon as he turned into the alley, he pinned Si Jin against the wall and kissed her passionately.
Si Jin knew he needed to vent, so she let him hold her hands and gently cooperated.
After an unknown amount of time, a tear from Zhong Linyuan landed on Si Jin's lips.
The cool touch stimulated the boy's dulled senses.
Only then did Zhong Linyuan regain some of his composure.
He released Si Jin and gently kissed away the tears on his lips.
Holding his salvation tightly, she sobbed and asked, "Jinjin, what should we do?"
"What do you mean, what to do?"
Zhong Linyuan couldn't help but lower his head and kiss Si Jin's eyes again, then asked, "I love you so much, what should I do?"
Si Jin was amused: "I'm all yours now, what else can I do?"
"Don't try to gain sympathy by crying. You used the same trick when I saw Mu Huaiyang in the interrogation room the day before yesterday."
"It made me spend the whole next day in bed trying to appease you."
"Your back is just healed today, don't try to lie to me again."
Zhong Linyuan had barely finished thinking when Si Jin cut him off completely.
His mind raced, about to say something, when a roar suddenly pierced his ears.
"Li Sijin!!! You lied to me!!!"
