"Achoo! Achoo, achoo achoo achoo..."
In the top-grade prison, Su Pan’er sneezed several times in a row. She rubbed her nose forcefully: "What’s going on? Is someone talking about me?"
She stood up, stretched lazily, and walked around to loosen her muscles and bones.
The two guards at the door were still there.
Outside the window, the lake rippled, willows swayed, and the breeze circled the cottage built by the lake. The appealing scene looked like a beautiful ink painting!
While she was admiring the view outside the window, the sound of footsteps echoed outside the door.
A moment later, the door opened, and the government employee who previously arrested her in Luoyan Village reappeared before her.
Current government employee, devoid of the arrogance he displayed in Luoyan Village, smiled and said, "Doctor Su, someone is here to visit you."
As he spoke, he repeatedly bowed to the person behind him.
Su Pan’er raised an eyebrow. Someone was visiting at this time? Could it be Qin Yi?
"Alright, we don’t need you here. Dismiss."
A familiar voice sounded, the government employee repeatedly bowed and retreated, and Lui Muyi’s figure appeared before her.
He looked anxious. As soon as he appeared, he looked at Su Pan’er from head to toe. Seeing that she was intact, he let out a sigh of relief.
His face beamed with a smile: "Pan’er, how are you? They didn’t make you suffer, did they?"
"Look at me, I’m alright."
Su Pan’er pointed behind and shrugged: "If it weren’t for the clear explanation from the government employee that I was arrested for interrogation, I would have thought I was a guest."
She wore a playful expression.
"And you dare to say! Pan’er, do you think of Lui Muyi as a friend?"
Seeing that she was unharmed, Lui Muyi also relaxed. He casually sat in the chair across from her: "You got into such a mess, and you didn’t even let anyone notify me. If it weren’t for my informant working here who promptly notified me about you, you would definitely be at a loss."
"So it was you who did this!"
Su Pan’er suddenly understood!
She promptly thanked him: "I wanted to find someone to rescue me, but these government employees should give me a chance, right?"
He raised his folding fan and pointed it at Su Pan’er.
"What can I say about you? Don’t you know that money can do anything!"
His face wore a bloody smile: "You think this government office is clean? You don’t know how the prison boss in the women’s prison tortures the female prisoners. Rape and insult are the least of it. If you were really sent to the women’s prison, even if I was able to save you, I’m afraid it would be too late."
He obviously hinted at something.
Su Pan’er rubbed her nose.
She wanted to refute Lui Muyi, even if she went to the women’s prison, she had plenty of ways to prevent those prison bosses from approaching her.
But thinking that it was his sincere intention, at least she spared herself physical torment and avoided a prison disaster. For this alone, it was worth it to befriend him!
"Good! You are righteous, that’s what friends and buddies do!"
She patted Lui Muyi’s chest: "Because of your sincerity, anytime I can help you in the future, just let me know."
"Absolutely, even if you didn’t say it, I never expected to be polite with you!"
Having heard Su Pan’er say this, Lui Muyi grinned as if he had stolen something delicious: "However, speaking of which, are there any good medicinal ingredients left that Old Xue mentioned last time? That old man is keeping on about it."
"Of course, good ingredients are available."
Qin Yi went to the Lui Family’s house. Didn’t he run into Lui Muyi?
Su Pan’er had a thought, "By the way, is Old Xue staying at your place?"
"Of course, he is staying at my place. However, there was an issue at the gambling den yesterday. I went to handle it and decided to stay over there because it got late."
Lui Muyi’s response was brief and straightforward: "Otherwise, wouldn’t that old man insist on coming here?"
Oh, Su Pan’er understood!
"No worries, the good medicinal ingredients are at home, I can’t bring them here."
As the two were talking, a government employee ran over looking flustered. He glanced at Su Pan’er, then whispered something into Lui Muyi’s ear.
Lui Muyi’s brows furrowed slightly before relaxing again. He waved the government employee off and then explained to Su Pan’er with a smile: "It’s nothing. An old friend is here, and I need to go see him. You rest well. I’ve taken care of everything here so you won’t suffer."
Su Pan’er’s eyes flashed. She quickly stood up and smiled: "Alright, I won’t keep you. Since your friend is here, you’ll have to hurry up."
"Okay, I will come to see you later."
Lui Muyi stood up, bid Su Pan’er farewell, and left the jail hurriedly.
Just around the corner, he almost collided with an oncoming figure. He narrowed his eyes, quickly saluted the figure, and laughed.
"It turns out that County Magistrate Jun Ruochen has come to us, Lui Muyi, a lowly subject greets you!"
The newcomer was County Magistrate Jun Ruochen.
He scanned Lui Muyi for a moment before giving a slight nod.
"Are you Lui Muyi?"
He was supposed to be busy with official duties, but unexpectedly heard that the young master of the Lui’s Family had come to the office.
The relationships within the office and the local area were complex. This Young Master Lui, when the previous county magistrate was handing over affairs, repeatedly mentioned that he was one of the people who can’t be easily touched within the county.
However, he came to the government office without saying hi to the current county magistrate, and directly went to see the recently arrived prisoner?
Could there be intricate details in this that he was unaware of? Upon hearing the news, he pondered for a while and then rushed over.
"Yes, this lowly subject is Lui Muyi. Earlier, I hurriedly came and failed to greet County Magistrate Jun, I hope you will excuse me!"
Lui Muyi wore a smile, and kept saluting.
"Of course. But I don’t know why Young Master Lui has graced us with his presence?"
Jun Ruochen’s face still wore a shallow smile, but his eyes remained emotionless.
"I didn’t make it here for a particular reason, but my sister by choice was captured by the government office for no apparent reason. Once I learned the news, I naturally needed to come visit. I wonder what the County Magistrate thinks of this matter?"
This statement immediately caught Jun Ruochen’s attention.
The one who was caught, Su Pan’er, seemed quite capable! Apparently, many people were involved with her.
However, because of this, the so-called "careless use of medicine resulting in reckless homicide" seemed ludicrous!
He chuckled lightly: "The matter has not yet been officially tried, everything is undecided, I naturally cannot be reckless with my words. Young Master Lui, if you are interested, why not stay for the trial?"
These words were both rhetorical and probing, wanting to know the extent of Lui Muyi’s relationship with the suspect.
Lui Muyi’s eyes darted around, surprisingly he readily agreed: "If that’s the case, then I should follow the command without delay!"
