“Yes, if you want to start over, you naturally have to let go of the past.” Le Yao tried to pull her hand away, but couldn’t, so she gestured, “My lord, could you let go of me first?”

"You...do you really hate me that much?" A hurt flashed in Nangong Jue's eyes, and he clenched his fists even tighter.

"This..." Le Yao was speechless. Come to think of it, she really didn't dislike him. All the previous issues were between him and Han Binglan, and had nothing to do with her. After she transmigrated, apart from the fact that he was a bit rude when they first met, he was actually quite nice to her. So, personally, she didn't dislike him.

Nangong Jue sighed softly.

“Actually, I don’t hate you.” Le Yao paused for a moment, then looked up again. “It’s just… after chasing you for so long, and almost dying that day when I jumped into the lake, I just felt it was pointless. After all, relationships are only good if they’re mutual. Suddenly, I felt like I was a pretty jerk, breaking you and Yan Zimeng up.” She paused again. “Actually, what girl doesn’t want someone to pursue her? I’m a normal girl too, so, Lord, I want to be a girl who can enjoy love normally…”

Nangong Jue's brows furrowed slightly, a hint of confusion in his eyes. Love? What is that?

Le Yao was a little uneasy, probably because of the psychological trauma left from reading the book. She knew that this man had a bad temper. He reserved all his gentleness for the female lead, but he was ruthless to others. Sometimes he would suddenly explode. It was said that his employees lived on thin ice every day. At the time, she thought that if the salary was not high enough, probably no one would be willing to work for him.

But her attitude just now was very sincere, so she shouldn't have offended the other party, right?

“Yan Zimeng and I are not a couple,” Nangong Jue suddenly said.

"What?"

"I said, I..."

Just then, the cell phone on the table rang.

Nangong Jue swallowed back what he was about to say, picked up his phone, and answered it.

Le Yao breathed a sigh of relief; her claws were finally free. She had been really worried that the other person might break them if they got upset.

"Okay, I understand." Nangong Jue quickly hung up the phone and then looked at Le Yao. "That hospital has been shut down. Now we need to sue them for illegal organ transplantation. You need to go to the police station to give a statement."

Le Yao nodded; she was naturally willing, as the longer such a hospital existed, the more people would be harmed.

At the police station, Le Yao told the whole story without hiding anything: "Officer, can I sue Han Guosheng and Cui Li?"

The policewoman in charge of taking her statement was named Xu Qing. After hearing this, she sighed slightly: "Even if Cui Li really has a son who needs a kidney transplant, it doesn't prove she's guilty. Of course, you can file a lawsuit, but without stronger evidence, you can't convict her." She felt quite sorry for the girl; she was truly pitiful and almost harmed by her own family.

However, the law requires evidence.

"Why?" Le Yao exclaimed in disbelief. "They've broken the law! I'm sure that hospital has a history of having affairs with other people..."

"Don't get agitated." Xu Qing patted Le Yao's shoulder. "We will continue our investigation, and once we have sufficient evidence, we will definitely punish them severely."
