I picked up the phone on the ground and was stunned when I saw the caller ID on the screen.
Mingyuan also looked over and asked in surprise, "Jin Shu? Do you have her phone number?"
I nodded thoughtfully. This was the phone number Jin Shu left when I discussed cooperation with him last time.
But why did she call me suddenly? Is it about Lu Zhiyuan?
My intuition told me so, so I answered the phone immediately.
"Hello?"
Hearing my voice, Jin Shu chuckled: "You should have seen the news online, right?"
I calmed down and forced myself to be calm.
I questioned, "You deliberately identified Lu Zhiyuan as the murderer and stirred up public opinion online. What exactly do you want to do?!"
Jin Shu didn't answer my question, but asked me instead: "From your tone, it seems that you are very worried about him. Do you want to save Lu Zhiyuan?"
My brows furrowed. Judging from the meaning of her words, it was very likely directed at me.
Jin Shu murmured softly, "If you don't save him, he'll spend the rest of his life in prison. A man's life is now in your hands."
I took a deep breath. "What do you want me to do?"
"Let's meet. Many things need to be discussed in person. What do you think?"
Jin Shu's tone was firm, she was sure that I would not ignore Lu Zhiyuan.
I had no choice but to agree: "Okay, I promise you."
"Then come to my ward. Don't worry, I won't do anything to you."
I ignored her hypocrisy and hung up the phone.
Mingyuan immediately asked me, "What did you promise Jin Shu? Why are you so impulsive?"
Looking at Mingyuan's worried eyes, I smiled comfortingly: "It's nothing, she just wants me to meet her."
"Meet?" Mingyuan's face changed and he refused sternly, "No!"
"Lu Zhiyuan has already fallen into her trap. Who knows what other plans she has for letting you go? It's too dangerous for you to go see her!"
"Uncle." I held Mingyuan's arm and looked at him pleadingly, "I have to go. I'm the only one who can save Lu Zhiyuan now. I can't just watch him being wrongly accused. He's not the murderer, and his life shouldn't be ruined like this."
"you……"
Mingyuan looked at me, wanting to say something but stopping himself.
He finally compromised and sighed helplessly: "Okay, since you insist on going, I will send someone to protect you in secret, but you must not do anything else rashly! And don't easily agree to any deal with Jin Shu!"
I nodded, and I could see that Mingyuan was still worried about me.
But I have no choice, I admit that I still have feelings for Lu Zhiyuan.
So I couldn't just watch him go through this, and I couldn't just stay out of it.
The agreed location was in the hospital's VIP ward, which was also Jin Shu's ward.
I pushed the door open and walked in, only to see Jin Shu leaning against the head of the bed, his face pale, his lips bloodless, and he still looked very weak.
But the look in her eyes when she saw me was as sharp as ever.
"You all should go out first."
She sent away the nurses and bodyguards around her, and there were only two of us left in the ward.
Looking at her and thinking of everything she had done to Lu Zhiyuan, I secretly tightened the electric baton for self-defense hidden in my sleeve.
Jin Shu chuckled and calmly confessed to me, "Your guess is correct. I planned all of this. There's no way Lu Zhiyuan would fight me. I deliberately framed him."
