Chapter 1471 International Black Stars
Iris wrapped her arms around Jin Liwei's waist. "It's so difficult to stay objective and leave justice to the law when it involves someone from our family."
"I know," Jin Liwei murmured.
"I won't stain my hands with blood no matter how much Mao Qiuyue and her parents deserve it," she said. "I don't want our children to have a mother who's a cold-blooded murderer. But I hope that my big brother won't let those Maos get off easily either. I just hope that he still honours his promise to leave them alive enough for the police to deal with. Just like we have our own children, my brother also has his own children now."
"Your brother might break his promise to me or other people, but he won't break his promise to you," Jin Liwei assured her.
"You're right." She sighed. "It's difficult for my brother to change now. I just hope that he won't go any deeper to a point of no return. I'm fine now because I have you and our children. But him? He also has a wife and children now but he still insists on continuing his vendetta with Shadow Winds. I'm just worried about him and his family. I don't want to lose my brother a second time, Liwei."
He gave her another kiss on the head. "You won't lose him again, love. We won't lose anyone from our family in a tragedy. I'll do anything in my power to prevent any of that from happening."
Her response was to rub her face against his firm chest, finding comfort and assurance in his embrace.
The husband and wife embraced each other for a while before returning to Little Jun's private suite.

Little Jun had to stay in the hospital for a few more days before Wang Yingjie cleared him for discharge. Of course, it was a conditional discharge because the child hadn't completely recovered from his injuries yet.
The little guy still needed to be confined at Dragon Palace Home #10's medical wing. The adults were just too worried and scared for his safety at this hospital that they constantly asked Wang Yingjie if they could transfer Little Jun home sooner.
Wang Yingjie also understood their concerns, so he used his authority as the child's surgeon and attending doctor to sign the discharge order as soon as possible.
The adults immediately made the arrangements and soon Little Jun was airlifted to Dragon Palace Home #10 using Jin Liwei's helicopter.
Jiang Ying Yue and Lin Yehan accompanied him in the aircraft. Iris and the others were already back home to prepare her godson's room at the medical wing in advance with the in-house doctor.
Jin Liwei stayed back at the hospital to listen to Wang Yingjie's additional instructions.
"I already contacted my friend who's a renowned child psychiatrist," Wang Yingjie said. "She's in America right now and needs to make arrangements with her current patients before she can come here. I already sent her Little Jun's medical records and she says that she'll work with him, no problem. Here's her contact information."
Jin Liwei received a piece of paper. "Thanks, Second Brother. I owe you one."
Wang Yingjie shook his head. "Not at all. I also treat Little Jun like my own nephew. If not for the ethics and the doctors' moral code that I have to follow, I would've also wanted to rush out and kill the monsters who did that to the child. I hope that they're punished."
Jin Liwei's eyes flashed with a cold light. "Don't worry, Second Brother. I'll make sure that those people receive the punishment that they deserve."
Wang Yingjie nodded. "Good."
"Thanks again, Second Brother. I'll have my assistant contact the child psychiatrist and if she wants, I can even send one of my private jets to pick her up in America so that she can meet Little Jun sooner."
"You make the arrangements."
"En."
The two didn't continue chatting anymore because Wang Yingjie was still on duty. He needed to check on his other patients at the hospital.
Jin Liwei didn't stay any longer either. He immediately returned home to check on his godson's situation.
And of course, he was already missing his wife and kids. He couldn't wait to kiss and hug them.

The news about the kidnapping of Iris Long's nephew and the Mao family's involvement continued to ferment on national TV, the newspapers, and the web.
Even Iris Long's international fans got wind of the kidnapping. All of them also felt horrified about what happened to their Boss Iris' nephew.
She gained these international fans when her song with Jin Chonglin which was used as the opening theme for the drama "Our Love, Our Destiny" became popular in many other countries, mostly Asian ones. The hit drama's popularity also made her song with Jin Chonglin, "Shining Eyes", climb to the top of these countries' music charts. The song even got adapted into different languages.
The strongest fans outside China were the Black Stars Philippines. The Chua family led the Filipino Black Stars into demanding justice for the kidnapping of their Boss Iris' nephew.
Second only to them was the Black Stars Singapore, secretly led by Jasper Leung, the figurehead of Ketchup's White Tigress International Virtual Assistant Services. Due to Jasper's efforts, Iris Long became more and more known in Singapore despite being still in hiatus after giving birth.
In addition, Iris Long also had a considerable number of fans in Europe where her instrumental album, "Rebirth Melodies", charted in several countries.
She also gained prestige in Europe when she won the Best Soundtrack Award at the Sommet International Film Festival for the indie film, "Strong Yet Broken". All these fans were enchanted by Iris Long's music and her mesmerizing performance. Since then, they joined the international Black Stars. fгeewebnovёl.com
After learning about what happened to her nephew, they couldn't just sit still. Although they couldn't do anything substantial to pressure another country's legal proceedings, they still did their best to spread the news until it reached the attention of the international media.
This way, Little Jun's country would feel too embarrassed not to give him the justice he deserved especially now that the whole world was watching.
