Gu Nianchen stepped on the accelerator, braked suddenly, got out of the car and ran over.
At Gu Nianchen's reminder, Bai Luoyu reacted quickly and dodged the man's first attack.
But the man did not give up and continued to stab Bai Luoyu with the knife. Gu Nianchen grabbed Bai Luoyu's hand and pulled him behind him, then grabbed the man's wrist holding the knife and twisted it outward. The man let out a howl and let go.
The knife fell to the ground with a clang, and Gu Nianchen kicked it away.
"Luo Yu, call the police." Gu Nianchen said to Bai Luoyu.
"Okay." Although Bai Luoyu was also very scared, he tried to stay calm and called the police.
Gu Nianchen had already handcuffed the man's hands behind his back and made him kneel on the ground.
There were already some onlookers around, and some people picked up their phones to take pictures.
Fortunately, the restaurant’s security personnel came out in time and dispersed everyone around.
A police car arrived quickly and took over the man and the knife on the ground.
"Come back to the police station with us to cooperate with the investigation." The police said to Gu Nianchen and Bai Luoyu.
The two could only follow the police car to the police station. Gu Nianchen did not let go of Bai Luoyu's hand along the way, but his hand was still cold and his body was shaking uncontrollably.
"It's okay, it's okay Luo Yu, I'm here." He could feel that Bai Luo Yu's fear came from deep within his heart.
"Yeah." Bai Luoyu nodded tremblingly.
The terrifying memories in his heart once again emerged from the depths of his memory.
[Mr. Nianchen, Mr. Luo Yu's storyline has a new memory that was not there before. Please accept it.]
[Okay.] Gu Nianchen was a little surprised. This situation had never occurred before, so he began to accept the memory. After receiving all the memories, Gu Nianchen finally understood why he had not read it before.
He clenched his fists and a murderous look flashed in his eyes.
[218, check the story lines of those people for me and find out where they are now.]
[Yes.] 218 naturally knew about Bai Luoyu's experience, and his voice was filled with coldness.
That was after Bai Luoyu had just been working for a year. At that time, he had already gained some fame, and all of this was earned through his hard work. He only took on criminal defense cases. This kind of case did not make much money, but it was easy to gain reputation, but the risks were extremely high.
This is one of the types of cases that some lawyers are most reluctant to take, as they are prone to retaliation.
That time, Bai Luoyu took on a case of violent injury. As the plaintiff's lawyer, he encountered many obstacles in the process of finding evidence.
But fortunately, he was able to escape danger and finally won in court with his professional knowledge and calm performance.
The defendant received the punishment he deserved, but the defendant's family hated Bai Luoyu, so one day when Bai Luoyu was on his way home from get off work, they kidnapped him.
He was asked to pay the 100,000 yuan that the defendant should pay, saying that it was all because of him. The defendant had to pay compensation and lost his freedom.
Bai Luoyu had just started working and had no money. Even if he had money, he would not pay it with his integrity. But the result was that he was kidnapped and his three ribs were broken, his right leg was fractured, and his fingers were broken.
These injuries were not caused in one go, but occurred within the fifteen hours that Bai Luoyu was captured by them. During that time, Bai Luoyu was subjected to inhuman torture and beatings by them.
Bai Luoyu has no relatives, nor any friends close enough to contact every day.
He didn't go to work the next day, and his colleagues only called him a few times, but when the calls didn't go through, they stopped calling.
The place where he was kidnapped was a small house of a mountain watcher in a village. If a cowherd had not discovered Bai Luoyu's screams coming from inside and called the police, Bai Luoyu would not know what kind of pain he would continue to experience.
This memory was the darkest and scariest for Bai Luoyu. He felt the fear that he might disappear from this world at any time.
So after being rescued, he received psychological treatment for a long time, but it only made him seal that memory in the deepest place and dare not touch it.
This is also why this part was not included when reading Bai Luoyu’s experience before. He hid it himself.
During the time when Gu Nianchen was reading his memory, the police car had arrived at the police station.
After interrogation, it was found that the perpetrator was one of the same group of people. After the villagers called the police, the police arrived quickly and arrested them all. The evidence was conclusive and they were all punished.
The man who committed the crime today was the one who was imprisoned the longest. After he was released, he didn't want to find a job and just stayed idle. He has already sold all the things at home.
When he unexpectedly learned that the young lawyer from that year had become so successful now, he was furious. After following Bai Luoyu for several days, he went on a business trip.
He was following Gu Nianchen, so he found the opportunity today and wanted to kill Bai Luoyu to vent his hatred, because he felt that Bai Luoyu had ruined him, but he didn't think about the harm his actions back then had caused to Bai Luoyu.
After coming out, Bai Luoyu was still in a bad mood and his whole body was still shaking. Gu Nianchen took a taxi back to the restaurant to get the car, and then took Bai Luoyu back to his apartment.
After entering the room, Gu Nianchen poured hot water for Bai Luoyu. Bai Luoyu curled up on the sofa, hugged her knees, rested her chin on her knees, and stared blankly.
When Gu Nianchen came back and saw Bai Luoyu's appearance, he came over and hugged him with heartache: "Don't be afraid, no one can hurt you as long as I am here."
"Are you hurt?" Bai Luoyu suddenly remembered that when Gu Nianchen tried to grab the knife, he wondered if he was hurt.
Holding Gu Nianchen's hand and looking at it carefully, his hands were still cold. Gu Nianchen took Bai Luoyu's hand and handed him the warm cup of water: "Drink something to warm you up. Then, do you want to talk to me about what happened that year?"
Bai Luoyu took the cup of water, lowered his head and was silent for a moment before he slowly spoke and recounted what happened that year.
He didn't mention the specific details. They came over and beat and kicked him for no reason. At first, he still had the strength to protect his head, but later he gradually became unconscious.
Bai Luoyu's tone was calm, but one could sense how desperate he must have been at that time.
Gu Nianchen already knew the whole process in his memory, and the murderous intent in his heart had already erupted. Now when he heard Bai Luoyu's trembling voice, he wanted to kill them right now.
Bai Luoyu didn't cry, but Gu Nianchen was already in tears. He felt sorry for what happened to him. There was no moment more regretful than this one why he didn't travel through time and space earlier to protect him so that he wouldn't have to go through all that.
"What's past is past. You don't have to be afraid anymore with me here. Let me move in with you, okay?" Gu Nianchen was really scared today. He believed that there were definitely more people who held grudges against Bai Luoyu than just this one case.
Gu Nianchen absolutely could not accept such a thing happening. Even if Bai Luoyu got a little scratched, he would not tolerate it. He would make them be buried with him, even if it meant being punished by the rules of the world.
