3093 Arrival
It was the day Ye Zhifan would be executed, and the sky outside the window was as blue as the sea. The weather was good. Even the air was so refres.h.i.+ng that it seemed to have been filtered.
On this day, Ye Jian woke up early and helped the old man wash up. Then, she had breakfast with the old man. The old man had the habit of reading the morning newspaper. The grandfather and granddaughter finished the morning papers together and chatted for a while. Ye Jian didn’t walk out of the ward until the old man fell asleep.
Li Jinnian returned to the military unit three days ago. Xia Jinyuan returned to the Xueyu unit base yesterday afternoon. Now, only Ye Jian and Mr. Fu were serving the old man.
However, Ye Jian was going to start school the day after tomorrow. She had to return to school by five in the afternoon tomorrow.
At that time, only Mr. Fu and four guards would take turns taking care of the old man.
It was already ten o’clock in the morning. Ye Jian walked out of the ward and asked the guards to pay attention to the old man’s condition. Then, she took the elevator and left alone.
Today was the day Ye Zhifan would be executed. It would be carried out at 11:30 am sharp. From then on, Ye Zhifan would no longer exist in this world. Even the traces he left behind would slowly disappear as time pa.s.sed.
As for the hurt Ye Zhifan gave her in the past… she believed that it would disappear slowly as time pa.s.sed as well.
All the hurt, insults, reproaches, coldness, anger, and disdain she had suffered in the past would disappear with Ye Zhifan. The hatred in her past life was liberated in this life. Finally… Ye Zhifan would become a pa.s.serby in her life. He would never hurt her again…
Ye Jian stood at the pavilion behind the inpatient department and faced the south without moving. The Southern Province was in the south. Ye Zhifan would be executed in the Southern Province.
There were still 34 minutes before 11 o’clock. She had been standing here for almost 20 minutes.
The capital city was not as stuffy in September as it was in summer. However, the cicadas on the trees were still chirping endlessly, making the entire yard lively. However, to Ye Jian, the surroundings seemed to be blocked from her. Even the pavilion she was standing on seemed to be cut off from the world.
Ye Jian didn’t think about anything else. Her mind was blank. She was waiting for 11 o’clock. She was waiting for the time of Ye Zhifan’s death.
As time pa.s.sed, Ye Zhifan, whose legs and hands were still cuffed, looked a little uneasy. His hand that was holding the spoon turned from stable to trembling slightly. He simply threw the spoon away and stuffed the food into his mouth with his hands.
The most sumptuous meal he had since he was imprisoned was his last meal.
After finis.h.i.+ng it, it was time for him to go on his way. He would not be able to see the sun the next day. His life had entered the final countdown.
He stuffed his mouth so full that he couldn’t move his tongue easily. He pouted and gritted his teeth until he finished the food in his mouth.
Outside, two bailiffs stood expressionlessly. Beside them stood a forensic expert in a white coat.
This was the forensic doctor who would inject him with the drug.
He would be executed with an injection. This was the execution method used to replace gun execution. The Criminal Procedure Law, which was revised in January 1997, first stipulated that it was a ‘non-poisonous death.’ After being injected, the time of death was short. Usually, it was between 30 and 60 seconds. There was no physiological painful reaction, and it was not as b.l.o.o.d.y as gun execution.
