I was slightly surprised, and then I realized that Yan Meng had actually let Zhao Xian go.
"Are you telling the truth? Why didn't I get the news?"
Huo Hui nodded affirmatively. "This kind of thing is shameful! The Lu family will definitely not make it public. But after Yan Lirong's accident, I've been trying to find out what's going on at the police station. Zhao Xian was only detained for a routine matter at the time, but was later released on bail at a high price by Lu Zhiyuan. Now, I heard that she was sent to a sanatorium due to excessive shock."
I was very surprised by this result. I never thought Yan Meng would let Zhao Xian go so easily.
What did Lu Zhiyuan say to Yan Meng after I left that day that could have caused Yan Meng, who was so bent on revenge, to show mercy?
Or was it that Yan Mengnian was thinking of the deceased Lu Jing, and was really merciful because Lou Xiaoyun betrayed Zhao Xian?
I don't believe Yan Meng is so kind. This has never been his style as he hates evil, but I can't find a reasonable explanation.
Seeing that I didn't respond, Huo Hui pleaded again: "Ms. Lan Shan, I know you have the kindest heart. Can you ask Yan Meng to let my son go? He is still so young, he hasn't done anything to hurt him!"
I pushed her hand away and refused coldly, "Don't flatter me. I've never been a kind person. I can't help you with your son's problem."
I don't think I can persuade Yan Meng, and I don't want to interfere in the Yan family's affairs.
But I believe in Yan Meng's character. Even if he is cruel, he would not be so cruel to a one-year-old child.
"If you were really worried about your son getting hurt, you could have called the police instead of coming to me."
Huo Hui's eyes were filled with fear. "No, I can't call the police. If I do, Yan Meng might do something to my son! He's so scary, he's a complete devil!"
I don’t know what Huo Hui has been through, but looking at her at this moment, she is full of fear of Yan Meng.
I pushed open the car door and let her get out. "Then why not beg for mercy and admit your mistake in front of him? Maybe he'll relent and let your son go. I can't help you, so you should find another way."
Huo Hui got out of the car reluctantly and wanted to say something to me, but I had already closed the car door.
Li Tao got into the car, ignored Huo Hui who was knocking on the window, and drove away.
I pinched my brows and asked Li Tao in confusion, "You've been following me all this time? Is that my mother's request?"
"No." Li Tao is a man of few words and doesn't usually like to laugh, but at this moment I could clearly feel that he was in a low mood.
I asked with concern, "What's wrong with you? Why do I feel like you've been acting weird since I came back?"
"I didn't protect the young lady back then." Li Tao murmured in a low voice, full of self-blame. "If I had stayed with the young lady instead of separating from her, she wouldn't have been in danger. I was careless."
It suddenly dawned on me that he was blaming himself for this.
So he was afraid that I would have another accident, so even in a place like the company, he would always be by my side so that he could appear in time when I needed him.
I was touched by his loyalty to me.
I chuckled and comforted him, "You don't have to take the blame on yourself. The separation was my idea, it's none of your business."
"But……"
"There aren't that many buts," I interrupted him and ordered, "If you really feel guilty, try to be more cheerful in the future. Otherwise, I always feel like there's a dark cloud around me."
Li Tao was amused by my words and nodded in response: "Yes, I will listen to you, Miss."
I leaned back in my seat contentedly, closed my eyes and took a nap.
