Chapter 18

Six months later, Lu Dongsheng's second trial verdict came in. For intentional homicide, extortion, slander, and a series of other charges, he was sentenced to life imprisonment, without the possibility of commutation or parole.

I went to the prison to see Lu Dongsheng.

Lu Dongsheng was very frightened, with wounds on his face. It seemed like his cellmates hadn't been kind to him.

He was so scared he was almost trembling, talking non-stop like a machine gun.

"Damn it, where did that video come from? Wasn't that camera broken?"

"Sweet daughter, why did it take you so long to come see me? I don't want the assigned lawyer. You need to use the savings to find me the best lawyer. I have to get out of here."

This was the first time he called me sweet daughter, but to me, it sounded very sarcastic, so I just perfunctorily nodded. I wasn't here to save you; I was just here to watch the drama.
