Chapter 886: I’m Pregnant
Mu Donglin’s reputation was already deteriorating. If these accusations were pinned on him, they’d be enough to completely ruin the man.
Now, everyone was of the opinion that Lin Ya had no idea Mu Donglin would do such things. He accused Mu Donglin of his crime and even forced his kind and gentle sister to break up with the evil man.
Public opinion can be the most powerful thing in the world.
After the first trial, Mu Donglin was sentenced to death, thanks to Lin Ya’s effective use of public opinion and his own status
Mu Che fainted on the spot when he heard this news. Wu Meiya turned ashen and also created a din in court.
They had hired the best lawyers from all over the country, and it had caused some delay.
They had thought the ordeal would pass as they went along.
Unexpectedly, the longer this dragged on, the charges against Mu Donglin increased.
Eventually, there were even accusations of him molesting a young girl being piled on.
Those who knew Mu Donglin would know that he wouldn’t do such a thing, but there were many others who didn’t know him!
Human beings have a herd mentality. Even though it was such a ridiculous accusation,no one questioned it once someone took the lead.
In less than a month, Mu Donglin became hated by everyone.
The Mu family went to the People’s Supreme Court to appeal for a reduction in sentence. The lawyers discussed it for a long time to come to a resolution. In the end, the judge dismissed the appeal and kept to the original verdict.
Death sentence.
The nation cheered.
“Scum!”
“Even death can’t wipe out his crimes. Allowing him to live on in this world is a waste of air!”
“Rape, drug trafficking and smuggling aside, he even molested a young girl. If such a person doesn’t deserve death, who else does?”
In just a short month, Mu Donglin became like a bag of bones.
Hearing the final sentence, he struggled indignantly and yelled for justice like an insane man.
However, no one believed him.
The Mu family spoke up for him, but they could not stand up to the masses. Everyone who spoke up for Mu Donglin was mercilessly chastised.
The execution was to be held three days later.
The final three days were specially reserved for people to visit him.
As they said, this was the last favor that Mayor Lin was doing for him on account of their long-standing relationship.
Mu Donglin’s eyes were bloodshot as he shouted in a frenzy, “I didn’t do those things! Do you think Lin Ya is clean! Lin Ya made me do all these things! Get me someone, I wish to appeal, I wish to appeal! Someone, help!”
However, no one paid him any attention.
Mu Donglin’s words did not attract much attention.
After all, this wasn’t the first time Mu Donglin was saying this. However, when they investigated, there was no evidence to be found.
On the contrary, every time an investigation into new evidence was warranted, they found that it had nothing to do with Mu Donglin. Because of this, the incriminating evidence against him became more and more convincing. Eventually, the appeal was dismissed and the death sentence stood.
“Stop making so much noise. Someone’s here to see you.” The guard was very impatient and shouted as soon as he opened the door.
The jail for a death row criminal had much tighter security than other jails.
There were two guards, and between them, a petite and haggard figure walked in hurriedly.
It was Lin Kerou.
Ever since Lin Kerou accused him of rape, Mu Donglin had not seen her.
His wife, whom he used to think deeply loved him, was undoubtedly the biggest catalyst to push him into the abyss.
The moment he saw Lin Kerou, Mu Donglin’s eyes widened and he shouted angrily, “You b*tch!
Lin Kerou immediately burst into tears when she saw Mu Donglin, and the crying only worsened when he hollered at her. “Brother Donglin, I didn’t, I didn’t! I’m sorry! I was locked up by my brother. He got someone to hypnotize me, recorded the conversation, and tricked me into cooperating. It wasn’t me, Brother Donglin. I’m sorry! I’m sorry, it really wasn’t me!”
As Lin Kerou looked at Mu Donglin, pain and sadness overwhelmed her. She felt as if she was gripped by a large hand and it was suffocating.
This, was no longer the Mu Donglin, who used to always be in high spirits.
His face was covered with a growth of stubble and there was a dark yellowish hue to his complexion. He looked like he had aged 20 years!
He wore the clothes of a criminal on death row, with the time of execution clearly written on it. It was the day after tomorrow.
Their time was fast running out. There was no more time.
Lin Kerou wailed and grabbed the thick metal railing in front of her. She shouted, “It really wasn’t me!”
Mu Donglin’s crazed expression seemed to soften a little.
However, his eyes were still bloodshot and he looked indescribably down and out.
Lin Kerou would not stop crying. “It’s true… It wasn’t me. It was my brother, it was him. Brother Donglin, I don’t want you to die. I can get you out. I will definitely get you out. We have two more days. I will definitely make them retract the sentence!”
“You’ve never forced me. I’ve always been the one forcing you. Brother Donglin, they will believe it. Everyone knows that I love you. I love you so much! How could I push you to your death!”
Mu Donglin’s emotions seemed to be soothed by Lin Kerou’s tears.
The young woman in front of him was crying pitifully. Her eyes were red and swollen.
She had always been concerned about her image, but now, her hair was a mess and she looked unkempt.
“I begged Mom for a long time before she was willing to let me out. I really… didn’t!” Lin Kerou was crying so much she was almost choking. Desolation was written all over her face.
Mu Donglin looked at her for a long time before closing his eyes and saying, “Just go.”
Lin Kerou’s wailing quietened down to a sobbing. The veins on the back of her hands bulged and became obvious as she tightened her grip on the metal railing. “Brother Donglin, trust me. I can get you out. I can definitely save you!” As she spoke, she turned to look at the door.
Two guards were standing by the door, looking at her warily.
Lin Kerou lowered her voice and gestured to Mu Donglin. “Brother Donglin, come over here.”
Mu Donglin was standing at the centre of the cell. His hands were cuffed and his legs were restrained. He walked closer in response to Lin Kerou’s request.
She watched as the man approached. Her tears fell again and she said in a small voice, “I’m pregnant.”
Those softly-whispered words struck Mu Donglin like a bolt of lightning.
Lin Kerou stopped crying and whispered again, “Baby and I will wait for you to come home.”
