"I know."
Lu Ming's unhesitating answer made Gu Yao raise an eyebrow.
After all, this concerns the rest of his life, yet he agreed so hastily.
However, it was precisely this haste that proved Hua Hua's importance in Lu Ming's heart.
The more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt.
"You...don't regret it?"
"Regret?" Lu Ming suddenly burst into laughter: "Who says I don't regret it! In this world, there is probably no one who regrets it more than me! If I hadn't had that irresponsible father, if I hadn't given up on my life, if I had thought more about my life, how could that bastard surnamed Liao have married her!"
Alright, I know what I need to do. It's just... I don't know if you have the ability to lock me and that scoundrel in the same jail.
Gu Yao's eyes twitched upon hearing this.
"What? Attorney Gu, you can't even handle such a small matter?"
"That's not the case. I just don't trust you. After all, when I meet Wang again, there's a high chance he'll still be with those people from Ganxi Village."
“Even if he had the Emperor himself by his side, it wouldn’t make a difference.” After saying that, Lu Ming suddenly stood up: “Then I’ll wait for your arrangements.”
Before Gu Yao could speak again, Lu Ming left, dragging his handcuffs and shackles behind him.
A cold glint flashed in Gu Yao's eyes as he watched Lu Ming's retreating figure.
The more Lu Ming acted this way, the more he disliked him.
Since he's so determined to win a place in Hua Hua's heart, then I'll grant his wish.
Anyway, the dead are always less of a worry than the living.
As he picked up his briefcase and walked out, he also found a phone number in his phone's contacts.
"Director Wu, it's me..."
...
When Gu Yao returned to the hospital, Zhou Chunhua was talking to herself.
As soon as she saw Gu Yao return, she immediately went to greet him.
Taking the briefcase from Gu Yao, he quickly asked, "How is it? Any news?"
"Not yet, but it might be available in a few days." Gu Yao smirked, his gaze towards Old Chen growing even colder.
That one over there hasn't been dealt with yet, and this one is causing us no peace of mind either.
"Don't worry. Lu Ming will definitely do his best."
Zhou Chunhua let out a long breath and nodded.
But in her heart, she made a mental note of Lu Ming.
However, at this moment, inside the Qing'an Prince's prison gate, Lu Ming was being escorted to another prison area.
He was completely dumbfounded when he was locked in the cell.
Because the person sitting on the bed in the corner was none other than Wang Lin.
The other four beds in the cell were occupied by his 'acquaintances'.
This scene made Lu Ming frown deeply.
That kid surnamed Gu actually tricked him!
This is probably not aimed at killing him.
However, the man surnamed Gu underestimated him too much.
Lu Ming didn't even consider these few small fry a threat.
...
The next few days were incredibly agonizing for Zhou Chunhua.
Because every time she asked about Lu Ming's recent situation, Gu Yao would say there was still no news.
On the fourth day, she heard Gu Yao receive a call from the prison saying that Lu Ming wanted to see him.
That day, Zhou Chunhua was incredibly excited.
For no other reason than that this could very well mean that Lu Ming had found out the whereabouts of Old Chen's son from Wang Lin.
So she told Gu Yao that she really wanted to go too.
Gu Yao, however, said, "It's not good to always take the child to places like that. You can just stay here and talk to Old Chen, and look after the child while you're at it. I'll take care of everything else. You can't possibly not trust me, can you?"
Having said all that, Zhou Chunhua really couldn't stick to her own opinion any longer.
After all, every word Gu Yao said was reasonable.
"Then... thank you for your trouble," Zhou Chunhua said.
Gu Yao smiled without saying a word and left.
...
When Gu Yao saw Lu Ming again, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
Are you... alright?
Lu Ming, standing before us, had bandages wrapped around his head, revealing only half of his face.
Both his hands were wrapped in gauze.
His left hand was even in a cast and hanging from his neck.
Of all his body, the only part that's still in good condition is his two legs.
Lu Ming glanced sideways and sneered, "As you can see, I'm fine. But... why didn't she come?"
"It's good that she's alright. It's not convenient for her to come here with two children." Gu Yao put down his briefcase and sat down.
"Really? Then you can go back now." Lu Ming got up to leave.
"Lu Ming!"
"Gu Yao, who isn't a fox spirit who's been around for a thousand years? What kind of ghost story are you putting on with me?"
"I don't understand, what do you mean?"
"Ha! Now you're playing dumb with me again, aren't you? I really didn't expect you to be so cunning. Too bad your plan failed. My life isn't something anyone can take so easily, including you!"
If you want to know where she is, call her here. I won't tell anyone else.
“I can’t let her come.” Gu Yao sat down steadily.
Lu Ming frowned: "What? Aren't you afraid that your image in her eyes will plummet?"
"Since we've come this far, let's be frank." Gu Yao's lips curled slightly: "You're not good enough for her, and I will never give you another chance to have contact with her."
Lu Ming turned around and walked back, then sat down as well.
"Oh? I'm not good enough for her? Then do you think you are?"
Gu Yao leaned back in his chair, crossing his long legs.
