Chapter 42 Reunion
"Very well, so none of you are willing to tell the truth? Zhong Lin, take these people away. You know what to do."
Since these criminals are so protective of this person, he should take a look at who this arsonist really is.
Yun Yichen coldly swept his gaze over the people being held captive, while Gu Shuyan was completely unaware of what was happening in the prison.
At first, she thought that as long as she took that silly girl away, she could let the prefect of Shuntian Prefecture know that the fire was a carefully planned scheme to save a murderer.
But when she saw those prisoners waiting for death in despair and fear, she suddenly thought of her past life and her innocent family members who had died tragically.
Do not do to others what you would not have them do to you. Although these people have all made mistakes, and some of them were even vicious, they all have relatives who are looking forward to their return.
Furthermore, compared to Gu Yingxue's ruthlessness, how evil are these people? Is she really going to just stand by and watch these people lose their lives because of Gu Yingxue's schemes, just like the people in the Marquis's mansion in her previous life?
Therefore, Gu Shuyan unlocked the door in the end.
After leaving the prison, Gu Shuyan quickly headed towards the place she had arranged to meet with Pearl Mingyu.
But after waiting for a long time, Gu Shuyan still didn't see the two of them.
She had only told the two of them to follow and remember the location where Gu Yingxue was hiding Chunyan, but why hadn't they returned yet?
As it grew later and later, Gu Shuyan, who was usually calm, couldn't help but become anxious.
Suddenly, two figures appeared in the distance in the alley. Gu Shuyan saw them and quickly ran over.
Just as he was about to ask the two why they were so late, he was met with a cold and aloof face.
Under the moonlight, the man's handsome features were clearly visible to Gu Shuyan. It was a face that was almost demonic, but it was tinged with a murderous aura that made people afraid to look at it.
His dark, ghostly eyes seemed to want to devour people alive; a single glance could chill one to the bone.
As Gu Shuyan gazed at the incredibly familiar face bathed in moonlight, tears streamed down her face involuntarily.
Sure enough, her Ruier was this man's son. The seven-tenths resemblance made her momentarily panic, thinking she was seeing that soft, chubby little dumpling.
In her past life, as a mother, she knew nothing about this. How incredibly stupid must one be to not even recognize the father of their own child? Or perhaps, it takes a great deal of cunning for Lu Youming to have handled things so flawlessly.
While Gu Shuyan was in a daze, she unconsciously touched that dark, almost dripping face.
Seeing this little girl appear here in the middle of the night, touching his face and crying, the Prime Minister almost couldn't help but throw her out.
If she hadn't been so rational, Gu Shuyan wouldn't be standing here safely right now.
Raising his hand, Yun Yichen ruthlessly slapped Gu Shuyan's hand. Gu Shuyan felt a sharp pain and then realized what she had just done.
"Yes, I'm sorry."
Lowering her head to hide her panic, Gu Shuyan's mind raced as she quickly devised a solution.
At the same time, Yun Yichen also noticed the coal dust on her face and the ripped clothes.
With narrowed eyes, Yun Yichen asked, "Why are you here?"
"ah?"
Gu Shuyan was taken aback when Yun Yichen spoke up. She paused for a moment before saying, "I... I couldn't sleep, so I came out for a walk, haha!"
Gu Shuyan's fake smile was too perfunctory, and Yun Yichen just looked at her without saying a word.
