He had expected this, so when Xu Yanshu learned that Lu Huai had been released on bail, he wasn't too surprised. However, Xie Huanyu's actions were faster than he had imagined.

“Mr. Xu, don’t be discouraged. I’ve heard that Lu Huai has done a lot of illegal and criminal things in private.”

"As long as we can gather enough evidence, we can put him in jail for a few years!"

That seems like a solution.

Xu Yanshu's eyes flickered slightly. He stood up and went to the windowsill, a cryptic smile playing on his lips. "Then it seems we'll have to continue our cooperation!"

Letting it go is absolutely out of the question. It's rare that this lawyer, Jiang, shares the same idea, so perhaps we'll see results soon.

"Anyway, I don't believe in this nonsense. He can't possibly get away with it every time," the person on the other end paused, as if suddenly remembering something, and then said, "So what are your plans regarding the divorce?"

"No rush, I've already..."

Who are you talking to on the phone?

Upon hearing the sound, Xu Yanshu subconsciously hung up the phone. After turning around, he saw Xie Huanyu with a cold face. So when did she come back?

"It's just a work-related matter!" Xu Yanshu replied confidently.

Xie Huanyu was skeptical, and her eyes were full of resentment as she looked at the man.

It's been three or four days since their last unpleasant encounter, and the man hasn't contacted her at all; it's as if she's really determined to prove him wrong.

“Ah Huai has been released. He said that his grandmother asked him if he liked me that day, and that might be what triggered her.”

"Although there is no direct relationship, he is still willing to compensate you as much as possible, as long as the conditions are not excessive."

Xu Yanshu sneered and then retorted, "So, he's quite noble after all?"

"you……"

Such sarcastic remarks left Xie Huanyu feeling uneasy, but since A Huai was somewhat indirectly responsible, she couldn't really refute him for the time being.

She was initially hesitant, worried that getting involved would deepen Xu Yanshu's resentment towards her, but she never expected that Uncle Lu would suddenly have a heart attack, which the doctor said was due to excessive worry.

Understanding that he was worried about Ah Huai, she thought it over and over again before going to the police station to pick him up.

hehe--

Xu Yanshu scoffed at this, thinking that only Xie Huanyu would believe such a ridiculous excuse that could fool a three-year-old.

Listening to her grandmother's last words, it was clear that she already knew about her relationship with Lu Huai, and that she had noticed Lu Huai trying to make things clear after the incident.

If it were just this problem, it wouldn't have been enough to make Grandma faint.

"It's best to be forgiving when possible. You don't need to keep harping on this just because you have a grudge against Ah Huai..."

Xu Yanshu angrily demanded, "So why did you bring that person to Grandma in the first place?!"

She actually thought she was pursuing this matter because she had a prejudice against Lu Huai. It seems this woman really has no moral compass whatsoever!

If it weren't for her taking it upon herself to bring the person to her grandmother's side, perhaps Lu Huai wouldn't have so maliciously set his sights on the old woman.

So is this blaming her?

Xie Huanyu's pupils contracted slightly. She hadn't expected Xu Yanshu to say such a thing, and her face suddenly turned ugly. For a moment, she didn't know how to refute him.

She and Ah Huai only went to the nursing home together once, and it was Ah Huai who suggested it. At the time, they just wanted to visit their grandmother...

But these statements don't seem to be wrong either. If they hadn't appeared at the same time, Grandma probably wouldn't have misunderstood the relationship between her and Ah Huai.

Xu Yanshu had no intention of continuing the conversation. He glanced at the woman noncommittally and then turned and went into the study next door.

Xie Huanyu sat down on the sofa, looking lost and dejected. Her gaze was inevitably unfocused. "I didn't kill Bo Ren, but Bo Ren died because of me."

I didn't think there was anything wrong with it at the time, but now that I think about it, it was indeed a bit inappropriate.

Although she and A-Huai are now friends, they had dated before, and A-Huai still likes her.

In other words, she indirectly caused her grandmother's death?

Xie Huanyu frowned in disbelief, feeling a lump in her throat.

Turning her head to look at the tightly closed study door again, she felt increasingly uneasy...

——

The following morning, Lu Huai appeared alone downstairs at the Xie Group building.

"Well, you probably didn't expect me to get out so quickly, did you?!"

Xu Yanshu acted as if he hadn't heard anything and walked straight into the company. Upon seeing this, Lu Huai spat and then followed.

Don't you want to know what I said to the old lady that day?

As he spoke, Lu Huai's face gradually became ferocious and distorted. "I said that even if Huan Yu married you, her heart is still with me. We still sleep in the same bed, and she has had several abortions for me!"

In his view, people like Xu Yanshu, who came from poor backgrounds, should always be his defeated opponents, forever trampled under his feet and never able to rise up.

However, this time he almost got trapped in prison by this person and couldn't get out. He couldn't swallow this insult.

brute!

Xu Yanshu stopped, turned around and gave the man a cold look, then reached out and grabbed Lu Huai's neck without saying a word, releasing a powerful killing intent.

He's a scoundrel himself, and he has the audacity to expose these sordid things to the old man.

Grandma always thought Xie Huanyu was a kind and innocent girl, and she definitely wouldn't be able to accept these things in a short time.

Lu Huai was forced to retreat repeatedly, and finally lost his balance and fell to the ground, but the other party still showed no intention of letting go.

The feeling of suffocation grew stronger, alarm bells went off in his head, and he began to struggle frantically.

"Xu Yanshu, what are you doing?" A sharp female voice came from afar. Xie Huanyu rushed over and instinctively tried to pry the man's hand off Lu Huai.

Seeing the person appear beside him, Xu Yanshu barely regained some of his rationality. He took a deep breath before slowly letting go of her hand and walked into the company with a fierce aura.

Is this person crazy?

Watching the man's departing figure, Xie Huanyu frowned slightly. She hadn't expected Xu Yanshu to behave so extremely in public.

After regaining her senses, she went forward to help Lu Huai, muttering softly, "Huai, it's not that I'm criticizing you, but you really shouldn't have come here..."

"So you're blaming me?" Lu Huai was already furious, and these words made him even more impatient. He retorted irritably, "Xie Huanyu, aren't you also my accomplice in this matter?"
