Chapter 2900: Chapter 2888, Execution Day
Translator: 549690339
The next morning, when Jiang Fei woke up, he realized that Lina was not waiting for him in the kitchen as usual. She had made breakfast. After Jiang Fei washed up, he went to the kitchen and poured some milk, he baked some bread. His culinary skills were not on the same level as Lina’s, but he could still fill his stomach with simple food.
After breakfast, Jiang Fei waited in the living room for a while. Today, he did not have to go to the city hall to work, so he was not in a hurry.
About twenty minutes later, Lina walked out of the room with a Haggard look on her face. That night, she almost did not sleep. She watched as her father was executed. However, there was nothing she could do. This made Lina suffer the entire night.
Although she had already known about her father’s ending and was planning to avenge her father, her father’s death was approaching. Lina was still in pain.
“Sorry, I woke up late…”Lina said to Jiang Fei.
“Go and wash up. I made a normal breakfast. Take a few bites and we’ll be on our way,”Jiang Fei said.
“Okay!”Lina nodded and went to the bathroom.
About half an hour later, Lina returned to her room. After a while, Lina walked out of the room. Jiang Fei could see that Lina had put on makeup, but not heavy makeup, the main purpose of her makeup today was to cover up her Haggard appearance. She did not want her father to worry about her when he was dying.
Today, Lina’s attire was very simple and very solemn. It was similar to attending a funeral, but it was not as solemn.
“Eat some.”Jiang Fei handed over the milk and bread.
“I can’t eat…”Lina shook her head. She wanted to control her emotions, but she really could not.
“Alright, forget about the bread. Let’s drink the milk and leave,”Jiang Fei said.
“Okay!”Lina nodded and drank the milk. Then, she took out the food box from the fridge. Other than the sheriff’s favorite roast lamb, there were also a few of his favorite side dishes and soju, these were all prepared by Lina for him yesterday.
After bringing the Food Box, Lina and Jiang Fei walked out of the house and got into Jiang Fei’s car.
After that, Jiang Fei drove straight to the prison where the sheriff was being held. As the entire gamma dimension city was not very big, an hour later, Jiang Fei arrived at the entrance of the prison.
“Sir Ralph, you’re Here!”The prison guards at the entrance had been waiting for Jiang Fei for a long time. They knew that today was the day of the sheriff’s execution, and Jiang Fei’s incarnation, Ralph, was the prison officer.
“Did everything I told you go right?”Jiang Fei asked.
“Sir, don’t worry. I specifically told them that no one would dare to mention the sentence to the prisoner,”the warden immediately said.
“How is his condition?”Jiang Fei asked.
“He’s still the same. He’s a little dispirited, but he’s still okay,”the warden said.
“Alright, let’s go in.”Jiang Fei nodded and walked into the prison. Lina followed behind Jiang Fei with the food box in her hand.
Logically speaking, Lina and the things that she brought with her should be inspected. However, she had followed Jiang Fei in after all. The warden would definitely give Jiang Fei face. Moreover, today was the day of the execution of the prisoner, even if Lina brought some things in, it was not a big deal. Anyway, the gamma s.p.a.ce was too small. Breaking out of the prison was equivalent to courting death. Therefore, the warden was not worried at all.
After entering the prison, Jiang Fei and the rest were led by the warden to the prison where the sheriff was being held.
“Sir, he is in the innermost cell. We will not follow him.”The warden tactfully stopped at the end of the corridor. Naturally, his men were also there.
“Thank you!”Jiang Fei nodded at the warden and then led Lina into the prison.
“Can you go in alone?”Jiang Fei asked.
“Sure!”Lina nodded. Then, Jiang Fei gestured to the warden. The warden pressed the remote control b.u.t.ton and the lock on the sheriff’s cell was unlocked.
Then, Lina pushed the door open and walked in. At that time, the sheriff was still sleeping. However, he was very light-sleeper. The sound of Lina entering woke him up.
“You’re here.”The sheriff glanced at Lina.
“Yes! Dad, I brought you some food,”Lina said.
“Are you okay outside?”The sheriff asked.
“I’m fine. Don’t worry, I’ll definitely succeed!”Lina said with a determined look.
“…”the sheriff shook his head. He knew that Lina was referring to the matter of avenging him, but now, the sheriff had already accepted it.
As Lina spoke, she took out the dishes from the food box. The food box had the function of heating, so the dishes had already been heated up.
“So sumptuous! There’s even roast mutton!”The sheriff did not wash his hands and directly grabbed a piece of meat and put it in his mouth.
“Yes! Old Foodie!”The sheriff’s eyes lit up, and then he asked Lina, “This thing is not easy to buy. You’ve been waiting in line for a long time, right?”
“As long as you like it.”Lina squeezed out a smile.
“Hehe, I also like to eat this bite…”the sheriff said halfway, his expression suddenly froze, and then he looked at Lina and asked, “Don’t lie to me. Today, right?”
“Yes!”Lina nodded with tears in her eyes.
“Sigh! What should come will come sooner or later!”The sheriff sighed. At this time, he was not as afraid of death as before the trial.
Perhaps it was because these days he had thought it through, or perhaps it was because the approaching death had made him open his eyes. In any case, the death penalty was already unavoidable. Therefore, the sheriff knew that no matter how much he struggled, it would be useless. He might as well face it calmly.
“Dad, don’t worry. I Won’t let it go just like that!”Lina said through gritted teeth.
“Forget it. You’re a girl. Just live the rest of your life obediently. Don’t Be Reckless.”The sheriff poured himself a gla.s.s of wine and drank it in one gulp.
“I won’t forget it! I Won’t forget it just like that!”Lina said firmly.
“Silly girl!”The sheriff sighed and said to Lina, “Come, have a few drinks with daddy!”
“Okay!”Lina nodded with tears in her eyes. At this moment, she didn’t know how she swallowed the food or how the wine got down her throat, but Lina could clearly feel.., her tears were constantly dripping into the wine gla.s.s.
“Don’t cry, Silly Girl. The winner takes all. I lost. This ending is natural. I’m already very happy that you survived,”said the sheriff.
“Dad…”Lina finally couldn’t help but throw herself into the sheriff’s arms and burst into tears.
“…”the sheriff didn’t say anything. He just held Lina in his arms and gently patted her back.
