Where are you taking me?
Shang Wu turned her head to look at Lu Rang, who was sitting in the driver's seat.
As far as I can remember, they almost never had a private time together without discussing business cases or work.
Lu Rang stepped on the gas and looked straight ahead: "My home."
Upon hearing this, Shang Wu blinked, thinking of the photo frame in his study.
She looked out the window, sitting in the speeding Rex, enjoying the winter scenery of the neighboring city along the way.
When they were almost at Lu Rang's house, Shang Wu said, "Chen Mian... took some photos of us, in a rather ambiguous pose."
Lu Rang paused.
Shang Wu coughed lightly and glanced at him: "Why don't you offer your opinion?"
Lu Rang showed no sign of anger and said calmly, "Are you afraid that this will damage my reputation?"
Shang Wu pursed her lips. "Yes."
"Are you in a bad mood because you're afraid of dragging me down with you?" Lu Rang asked.
Shang Wu lowered her eyelids: "Mm."
Lu Rang smiled slightly.
He changed to a solemn tone: "Then you really must take full responsibility for this."
Shang Wu was taken aback.
The car is parked in front of my house.
Lu Rang picked up his coat from the back seat: "Get out of the car."
As soon as Shang Wu came down, Lu Rang walked around and draped his coat over her shoulders.
Shang Wu was covered in a warm, thick coat. Her heart stirred slightly, and she followed him into the house.
"Please have a seat for a while. Would you like coffee or tea? Or some fruit?"
The next second, Lu Rang opened the refrigerator, and it was empty.
He closed the book and looked at Shang Wu somewhat awkwardly.
"Sorry, we have nothing to offer you."
Shang Wu smiled and said, "Coffee is fine."
The empty refrigerator and the extremely simple furniture in the house perfectly matched her stereotypical impression of Lu Rang.
She leaned back on the sofa, wrapped in a blanket, watching Lu Rang walk back and forth, fiddling with the coffee.
strangeness.
She hadn't done anything special; she had simply come from her own home to Lu Rang's house for a short visit, and inexplicably, she was no longer plagued by those bad moods.
Shang Wu took the coffee that Lu Rang handed her.
It's piping hot and smells wonderful.
"You brought me here just so I could try your coffee?"
Lu Rang opened the documents on the table and handed them over.
"Take a look at this."
Shang Wu took it and was a little taken aback when she saw Wang Lizhang's enlarged face. She continued to flip down to find Wang Lizhang's real injury report from back then.
"In order not to alert Zhou Yanci, you prevented Wang Lizhang from finding and exposing him, which resulted in your brother only being able to have his sentence reduced to six months later."
“But this document doesn’t require Wang Lizhang to come out and accuse Zhou Yanci. When do you want to file an appeal with the court? Your brother will be out soon.”
Lu Rang pondered for a moment: "Let's file an appeal tomorrow. It will take at least a week, maybe a month, which will be just the right time for you to resolve Zhou Yanci's issues."
Shang Wu slowly flipped through the pages, her feelings growing increasingly complicated.
These injury reports were likely left behind after the hospital examined Wang Lizhang back then.
However, Zhao Yixin and his gang provided false evidence, changing the injury report to show the most serious result.
This report should have been lost long ago.
Shang Wu asked in surprise, "How did you get this report? It's been three whole years, Zhou Yanci and his gang should have destroyed it long ago."
Lu Rang took a sip of coffee: "The hospital will archive the report in the database as soon as possible. Even if they replace the report, they won't be able to find the ones that are sealed in the archives."
Shang Wu looked up at him, finding it hard to describe her feelings.
It felt like something had hit my heart.
Lu Rang's seemingly casual words concealed countless unseen efforts.
Archives.
Of course she knew.
When she was trying to overturn her brother's case, she had doubts and didn't believe that Wang Lizhang had really been beaten into having fertility problems by her brother.
Zhou Yanci specially arranged for the hospital to conduct a second test in front of her, and the result was still functional impairment, proving that her brother was the one who beat the person into disability.
At that time, she never imagined that Wang Lizhang was infertile.
The initial injury assessment was replaced, and the actual record was archived in the database.
Three years have passed, and the database has grown larger and larger. Wang Lizhang deleted the medical records, and this injury record also became anonymous, unable to be found in the hospital system.
The only way is for someone to go into the archives and look for it.
Lu Rang meticulously reviewed and selected from hundreds of thousands of patient records until he found Wang Lizhang's file.
Shang Wu held the document, feeling as if it weighed a ton, causing her hands to tremble.
She exhaled and asked softly, "How long have you been searching?"
"Not long, just two weeks. Every day after get off work I would go to the archives for a few hours." Lu Rang looked at her.
Shang Wu suddenly thought of the days he disappeared, the days when she was in a bad mood as if she had suffered a major blow.
"You...you were helping me look for it a few days ago?"
Lu Rang looked at her and said, "Yes."
Shang Wu suddenly felt a pang of sadness, her heart aching and throbbing.
For a long time, her assessment of Lu Rang was that he was someone who hated trouble.
Even though he was the same person, he thought of her and helped her even when he was going through a difficult time, all in order to help her brother get acquitted.
Shang Wu looked up and met Lu Rang's gaze.
Lu Rang has beautiful eyes and a handsome face. Perhaps because he is naturally not fond of smiling, people often overlook his appearance, leaving only a cold and serious impression of him.
In fact, he was more dazzling than anyone she had ever met.
Lu Rang approached and carefully picked up the document that was about to fall from her hand.
"Don't be afraid. Even if the photos are leaked, it won't cause me any trouble. Are you feeling better now?"
Shang Wu relaxed completely, nodded, and her eyes were full of smiles.
