Chapter 131: A Gamble
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
After the blood test, it was time for a blood transfusion.
Bright red blood flowed into Lu Shouxin’s body through the medical hose, giving him the strength to live.
He Youran looked at Lu Qingzhuo and suddenly felt like crying.
She owed Lu Qingzhuo too much.
From the moment they met, it seemed like they owed each other a lot. At first, Lu Qingzhuo owed her, but now, she owed Lu Qingzhuo. As time passed, she couldn’t tell who owed more.
This kind of secret entanglement made He Youran afraid.
She was afraid that she would be addicted to Lu Qingzhuo’s charm and would be reluctant to leave him when the three-year promise was up.
And with all her secrets, how could she live peacefully in the world?
Perhaps, she would even bring him danger…
“What are you thinking about?”
After Lu Qingzhuo finished his blood transfusion, he laid on the hospital bed to rest. Seeing that He Youran was staring blankly at him, he couldn’t help but feel nervous and frightened. He thought that He Youran was frightened by the series of accidents that happened today, so he asked her gently.
“It’s nothing.” He Youran shook her head and hid her worries.
“I’m sorry that I didn’t protect Shouxin well,” Lu Qingzhuo apologized to her. “If we had taken Shouxin away before we returned to the main residence, or if I had left some people to watch over him and grandma, this wouldn’t have happened.”
“It’s none of your business. He Nantian and the others are too crazy.”
He Youran didn’t expect He Nantian and the others to be so desperate.
As expected, people died for money, and birds died for food.
“By the way, how do you plan to deal with them?” He Youran asked.
“What do you suggest?” Lu Qingzhuo asked.
He Nantian was He Youran’s biological father after all, so he hoped to hear her opinion.
“I don’t know either,” He Youran said blankly.
She thought that she no longer had any feelings for her so-called “Father.” But, today, he had kidnapped her son for money and even allowed Gu Zimu to rape her. What he had done had already made her heart turn cold.
She didn’t want to bear the name of murdering her father, but she also didn’t care about him anymore.
The outcome of He Nantian would be determined by the law.
Lu Qingzhuo looked at her carefully and naturally noticed her confusion and hesitation, so he thoughtfully said,
“Then leave it to the lawyer. They are involved in kidnapping and extortion. According to Chinese law, they won’t be sentenced to death.”
This was a relatively fair method.
It was absolutely impossible for He Youran to forgive He Nantian.
But, if she really wanted to kill him, He Youran wouldn’t be able to do it either.
She might as well hand him over to the law.
He Nantian and Chen Meiyu could spend the rest of their lives in prison to repent.
“What about Gu Zimu?” He Youran asked. “Although the Gu family is a local enterprise in Rong city, their influence has already spread to the imperial capital. If they really want to sentence Gu Zimu, the Gu family will definitely not let it pass.”
“It’s a small matter.” Lu Qingzhuo didn’t mind.
No matter how influential the Gu family was, they were not as influential as the Lu family. If they really insisted on going against the Lu family, they would not be afraid.
“Also, your leg…” He Youran looked at Lu Qingzhuo’s leg.
He had not been in a wheelchair since he came to the hospital from Yehai. Those who knew Lu Qingzhuo must have found out about this.
Lu Qingzhuo originally wanted to hide his strength and bide his time, slowly dragging out the people who were nefarious to the Lu family.
Now that he was healthy and had an heir, some people might not be able to resist making a move on the Lu family!
“We can’t hide what’s coming,” Lu Qingzhuo comforted her. “We can’t just hide.. Sometimes, a direct attack might be better than the current situation.”
