Chapter 238 Life Imprisonment
"And those containers are all empty; they're not anything you need for your construction site..."
Regarding the information about the containers, Lu Junyan sent people to beat up the contractor.
The contractor didn't know much, and at the time he didn't realize that Zhao Yuhai had placed several layers of shipping containers on the construction site to conceal the cement staircase of the abandoned power distribution room.
The contractor may be innocent, but Zhao Yuhai certainly isn't.
"You said you're going to call the police, right? Perfect, I'll give you a ride... Premeditated murder, the police definitely love cases like that."
Seeing Lu Junyan stand up, Zhao Yuhai knelt down at Lu Junyan's feet with a thud.
"Mr. Lu, you are so magnanimous. I was wrong, I really know I was wrong... It wasn't me, it really wasn't me... I wouldn't dare to kill someone even if you gave me a hundred lives! Let alone your ex-wife..."
As Zhao Yuhai explained, he kowtowed repeatedly to Lu Junyan.
Lu Junyan kicked Zhao Yuhai away.
"I don't want to hear nonsense."
After saying this casually, he gestured with his chin towards the people on the street.
"Keep fighting."
The thugs swarmed forward, and Zhao Yuhai cried out in pain while shouting:
"It's Fu Xinyue...it's Fu Xinyue!"
In the hospital ward.
Jiang Ning received information from the police that Fu Xinyue had been apprehended.
Zhao Yuhai was Jiang Ning's client, and the two had worked together more than once. At first, Jiang Ning couldn't understand why Zhao Yuhai would want to harm her.
She had no conflict of interest with Zhao Yuhai; in fact, Zhao Yuhai admired her designs and signed a long-term supply contract with her.
It wasn't until the police told her that Zhao Yuhai had turned himself in, saying that Fu Xinyue had begged him for help by selling her body.
But Zhao Yuhai never imagined that Fu Xinyue would cause someone's death.
His only responsibility was to send messages to Jiang Ning to the construction site.
Jiang Ning lay on the hospital bed, holding his phone and sneering.
"Lust truly is a double-edged sword."
Zhao Yuhai essentially ruined himself for a woman like Fu Xinyue.
With that thought in mind, Jiang Ning dialed a number.
"I'm truly flattered that such a beautiful woman contacted me first!"
The receiver picked up a voice I hadn't heard in a long time.
"Attorney Shen, how have you been?"
"Thanks to you, things are still alright."
"Want me to send you a sales report?"
Shen Feiyang laughed immediately upon hearing Jiang Ning's words.
"It sounds more like they're pushing me into a fire pit!"
"I have some extra money right now, so you can name your price."
"Great! I'd be even happier if you were willing to spend the night with me."
Seeing that Shen Feiyang was still the same as before, Jiang Ning didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"Don't even think about it."
"I think I'm pretty good-looking! And I'm pretty good in that area too, so it's worth a try."
"If you keep talking about this, I'm hanging up."
"No, no, no..."
Shen Feiyang was at his law firm at the moment, talking on the phone with Jiang Ning while sending away his flirtatious assistant.
"Let's get down to business! What's the case?"
Jiang Ning told Shen Feiyang everything about his experience and Fu Xinyue's situation.
"Attempted murder...the maximum penalty is life imprisonment."
"This is it."
"So you want me to help you with this lawsuit?"
As soon as Shen Feiyang finished speaking, Jiang Ning on the other end of the phone let out a series of crisp laughs.
"I want you to be Fu Xinyue's defense lawyer."
Shen Feiyang was stunned, then burst into laughter.
"Jiang Ning, I feel like you've gone astray."
"Giving bad people the punishment they deserve is what I call doing good."
"Okay, okay, whatever you say!"
The day after Jiang Ning made that phone call, Bai Yichen told her that Fu Xinyue had hired Shen Feiyang as her defense lawyer.
Then Shen Feiyang diligently defended Fu Xinyue, and eventually sent Fu Xinyue to prison, where she was sentenced to life imprisonment.
Upon hearing the result, Jiang Ning couldn't help but praise Shen Feiyang for his exceptional professional skills.
Logically speaking, with Fu Xinyue imprisoned and Zhao Yuhai turning himself in, the matter should have been settled.
Jiang Ning clearly remembered that when she entered the construction site that day, there were workers wearing work clothes and safety helmets.
It was that person who led her to the abandoned power distribution room.
However, the police failed to catch those people. Fu Xinyue did confess to Chu Qingxue, saying that Chu Qingxue had provided her with the plan.
Unfortunately, Chu Qingxue vehemently denied it, and the police were unable to find any evidence that she was involved in the matter.
Jiang Ning knew the case was over, but the score between her and Chu Qingxue was not yet settled.
In the dead of night, Lu Junyan knocked on her hospital room door.
Jiang Ning was not surprised to see Lu Junyan.
She felt it would be surprising if Lu Junyan didn't come to visit her.
However, she did not expect that Lu Junyan would not come alone.
Behind him followed Xiao Zhang.
This was the first time Jiang Ning had ever seen Xiao Zhang carrying so many things by himself.
There were fruit baskets, milk, and all sorts of tonics.
Xiao Zhang brought all his belongings into Jiang Ning's hospital room.
Jiang Ning looked around and found there were no flowers.
It's rare that Lu Junyan has learned his lesson.
"Are you alone?"
Lu Junyan asked, frowning.
The reason he didn't come alone was because he knew perfectly well that there must be someone accompanying him in Jiang Ning's ward.
It's either Gu Lanlan or Bai Yichen.
If it's not Bai Yichen, it will be Pete, or Yuan Pei.
Even Mo Yan might come and join in the fun.
They were all acquaintances, and Lu Junyan didn't want them to see him visiting Jiang Ning alone.
Since he can't be alone with Jiang Ning anyway, he might as well bring Xiao Zhang with him.
However, there were no caregivers in Jiangning's hospital room.
“I told them to go back and rest. It’s not worth making everyone restless just because of me.”
The accompanying room is not the same as one's own home, and both Bai Yichen and Gu Lanlan have their own jobs.
Jiangning can now afford the best caregivers.
In addition, the trauma she suffered this time was more severe in her mind than in her body.
Fortunately, this wasn't her first time being confined; her previous experience in the juvenile detention center had actually given her some experience.
Now that they've been rescued, they won't suffer any psychological trauma.
Lu Junyan gazed at Jiang Ning, a hint of admiration in his eyes.
"You are calmer and stronger than I imagined..."
Jiang Ning was stunned.
Is Lu Junyan praising her?
Jiang Ning smiled gently.
"It's alright, I'm used to it after all."
"What?"
Lu Junyan raised an eyebrow.
He didn't hear Jiang Ning's words clearly, nor did he understand their meaning.
Jiang Ning's clear, watery eyes instantly became cloudy and indistinct, like milk added to whiskey.
As expected, Lu Junyan didn't remember.
I don't remember her, nor do I remember bringing her candy in the solitary confinement room day after day.
But she still vividly remembers the taste of those candies.
"Lu Junyan, I was once imprisoned..."
The door creaked open, and the caregiver Jiang Ning had hired was taken aback when she saw Lu Junyan and Xiao Zhang.
Then he placed the thermometer on Jiang Ning's bedside table, quietly went into the adjacent care room, and closed the door behind him.
Jiang Ning licked his dry lips.
There's no point in bringing up juvenile detention centers now.
Her connection with Lu Junyan had long been severed.
"Lu Junyan, thank you for saving my life."
Lu Junyan was taken aback.
"You know I saved you?"
"Yes, Bai Yichen told me."
Even if I didn't tell her, she already knew.
Lu Junyan lowered his eyelids slightly, his eyes filled with complex emotions.
"Oh, by the way, this is for you..."
Lu Junyan took something out of his trouser pocket and handed it to Jiang Ning.
