Chapter 507 I should have learned to let go sooner
A moment of silence.
Li Xinyi learned some other things from the two of them, and finally, she looked at Lu Yanzhi.
“Your lawyer has applied for bail pending trial, Lu Yanzhi, regarding your matter with Han Wei…” Li Xinyi paused slightly, glanced at Lu Yanzhi’s leg, “Anyway, everything will be resolved soon.”
Lu Yanzhi didn't say much, just nodded, but his gaze was directed towards Shi Nian's hospital bed.
Li Xinyi and her colleagues left quickly.
Zheng Shuhui and others also took turns resting at a nearby hotel.
Only Huo Yanmo, Lu Yanzhi, and their respective caregivers remained.
"You all go out first." He said this to the caregiver, but Lu Yanzhi's gaze remained on Shi Nian.
The caregiver next to Huo Yanmo glanced at him, and Huo Yanmo nodded.
The two went out together and closed the door behind them.
"Drip, drip, drip..."
The instruments inside were making a slight sound.
The entire lounge was brightly lit.
The two remained silent for a long while.
All eyes were fixed on Shi Nian, who was still in danger.
"What do you plan to do next?" Huo Yanmo finally spoke first.
Lu Yanzhi turned his head, and their eyes met.
There was an unspoken understanding between them.
Both sides concealed some of the things that happened in the explosion.
The chemical substances Huo Yanmo brought, and the pillar he kicked over.
Why did the knife, which was originally stuck in Li Yanqing's hand and pinning him to the ground, shift?
In those few minutes when only Lu Yan remained at the rear, did anything happen?
No one will ever know.
That fire burned away all traces.
The two understood each other's thoughts in the blink of an eye.
After a silent exchange, Lu Yanzhi said, "I have resigned from my position as president of Lu's Group, and Lu's Group has already issued an announcement. I plan to recuperate for a while."
Huo Yanmo looked at Lu Yanzhi's legs.
"What did the doctor say?" Huo Yanmo asked.
"It's probably ruined." Lu Yanzhi's voice remained calm.
The two fell silent again.
"You can't escape illegal detention." Finally, Huo Yanmo said, "It depends on the sentence."
Lu Yanzhi nodded; he had expected this.
He still has evidence of Han Wei threatening him to release the photos, and he has had some of it notarized by a lawyer. In addition, he has turned himself in, which will slightly reduce his sentence.
They had anticipated this and hired a lawyer; it's just that this wasn't their original plan.
His legs have now rendered him unable to move, and he will apply for medical parole later.
After saying this, the two fell silent once again.
“Let’s make peace.” Finally, Lu Yanzhi spoke up. “Huo Yanmo, I was wrong. I should have… learned to let go sooner.”
His eyes were slightly red; he had figured it out while he was in the fire.
If it weren't for his obsession, things wouldn't have turned out this way.
Only when he saw her on the brink of life and death did he realize that if you love someone deeply, you should perhaps learn to let go.
Rather than seeing her lying there with tubes inserted and her life hanging in the balance, he would much rather she be standing smiling beside someone.
Huo Yanmo looked over at Shi Nian.
So much time has passed, but she still hasn't woken up.
They were even constantly struggling on the edge of life and death.
reconciliation?
Everything Lu Yanzhi had done to her before.
He still remembers everything that happened on his wedding day.
Lu Yanzhi's various forms of coercion against Shi Nian, including forcibly taking her away, threatening to kill himself on the bridge, and the matter of Li Yanqing...
How can we reconcile?
"You've been out for a long time, go back." Huo Yanmo didn't give Lu Yanzhi an answer, but instead pressed the internal phone.
The caregiver opened the door and came in, asking Lu Yanzhi to leave.
Lu Yanzhi didn't say anything, but glanced at Shi Nian over there again before being pushed away by the caregiver.
Huo Yanmo was left alone in the family lounge again.
“Niannian…” He looked in Shi Nian’s direction and spoke softly.
But no one responded to him.
It's been three days already.
My heart is breaking.
...
outside world.
A lot happened in those three days.
City A was bustling with activity.
First, the results of that heinous incident were announced.
Li Yanqing and Han Wei died because they were unable to escape when the factory exploded and collapsed.
Shi Nian, Si Si, Huo Yanmo, and Lu Yanzhi were rescued at the last moment. Shi Nian is still in danger, while the others have woken up but are still receiving treatment.
The fight and brawl that occurred among the individuals in the factory should be considered legitimate self-defense; this will be announced later once it is determined.
Lu Yanzhi is suspected of illegally detaining Han Wei. He was released on bail due to illness and will be tried in court in a few days.
These announcements caused a stir in many areas.
First and foremost is the Lu family.
Lu's stock price started falling a few days ago, and now, with the news of alleged illegal detention, it's causing another upheaval.
Although Lu's Group had already issued an announcement a few days ago that Lu Yanzhi had resigned from his position as president of Lu's Group, the stock price still fell in panic.
Right now, the Lu family was in complete chaos, and the conference room was filled with people chattering away.
Lu Xinyi was also in the conference room, watching everyone arguing heatedly, and she was extremely annoyed.
"Lu Yanzhi is really daring. Can he just pack up and leave now?"
"As the company president, you shouldn't do such a thing."
"Yeah, for a woman, really!"
"Now that he's gone, who will take over as company president?"
...
As the crowd discussed the matter, one or two people were criticizing Lu Yanzhi.
Lu Xinyi couldn't stand it anymore and slammed her hand on the table.
With a loud "bang!", everyone turned to look at her.
"Brother Yanzhi made a mistake this time, but he and Shi Nian were the ones who led the transformation of Lu's Group before!"
Lu Xinyi's chest heaved with anger. She said, "Everyone can see clearly the situation these past few years. If Lu's Group hadn't transformed itself in time, it would have fallen from its previous status long ago. How could it still be the top of the three major giants in City A?"
"For so many years, you have enjoyed the benefits brought by Yanzhi and Shi Nian's hard work in building their empire. You have no right to criticize him now!"
Lu Xinyi's voice was firm and resonant, echoing throughout the conference room.
But some people still rolled their eyes at her.
“Miss Xinyi is right. We still remember all the good things Miss Xinyi did for the Lu family!” someone said sarcastically.
This refers to the series of events that Lu Xinyi caused by insisting on fighting with Shi Nian.
Lu Xinyi was even angrier; her head was about to bleed.
“Let’s keep things separate!” Lu Xinyi said. “We’re talking about Yanzhi right now. In my opinion, even if he made mistakes, he still contributed to the Lu family overall!”
Some people scoffed, seemingly unconcerned.
Lu Xinyi was about to speak in anger when the conference room door opened.
Zhou Zhiyu pushed Old Master Lu in as he entered.
Everyone stood up to greet Grandpa Lu.
"Old man."
"The old man is here; you have to give us an explanation."
