Chapter 138 - 114: I Personally Ordered Your Arrest
Chapter 138: Chapter 114: I Personally Ordered Your Arrest
"I will—I will do a great job!"
Shu Yao replied impassively, "It’s the same guest room."
Ke Dancheng said gratefully, "Thank you!"
「The next day.」
Shu Yao and her mother took Xiao Juzi to Imperial Hospital, with Ke Dancheng accompanying them.
When they arrived at the psychological counseling office, Xiao Juzi noticed his mother wasn’t going in with him. He asked, a little anxiously:
"Mommy, are you leaving?"
Shu Yao asked, "Do you still remember Ke’s aunt?"
He had met her yesterday, so of course Xiao Juzi remembered.
He also remembered how that lady had told him lots of interesting things.
Shu Yao said, "I’m going to go see her. After you’re done here, come find me with Grandma."
Zaizai nodded and said reluctantly, "Okay."
He was willing to share his mom for a little while.
’After all, that lady looked very pale and wasn’t well. She had a little baby in her tummy and needed to be taken care of.’
Shu Yao took the fruit basket to Ling Yunyun’s hospital room.
There were quite a few people in the room.
Still, Ling Yunyun spotted her immediately. She glanced anxiously behind Shu Yao, but seeing no one there, she asked expectantly:
"Where’s Ju Bao?"
"He’ll be here soon." After she spoke, Shu Yao quickly sized up Ling Yunyun.
Ling Yunyun’s color had returned, and she seemed much more energetic. The IV had been removed from her foot. Her condition was clearly much better than yesterday.
Shu Yao glanced impassively at Lin Yaodong and Lin Zhenxiang.
Lin Yaodong looked tense and displeased.
Lin Zhenxiang was much more composed. She even called out to her sweetly:
"Sister Shu."
When Shu Yao gave her the cold shoulder, she put on a disappointed expression.
Seeing this, Lin Yaodong felt a pang of protectiveness for his daughter. He wanted to lash out at Shu Yao, but he remembered her warning at the milk tea shop that day and forced himself to hold back.
Luo Xingyu took the fruit basket from her hand. When his eyes landed on her face, his words of thanks came to an abrupt halt.
"Thank... It’s you!"
Shu Yao was secretly startled. ’Have I been recognized?’
She forced herself to remain calm. "Vice District Chief Luo, you must have the wrong person."
"I’m not mistaken," Luo Xingyu’s tone was certain.
Neither Lin Yaodong nor Lin Zhenxiang had expected this vice district chief, who had clawed his way up from the Lower Star District, to know that trashy woman!
Lin Yaodong gave an unnatural laugh. "Vice District Chief Luo, you... you two know each other?"
"I wouldn’t say we know each other." Luo Xingyu’s gaze became intriguing. However, the expression in his eyes went unseen by the Lin father and daughter. "Not long ago, when the Scavengers from the Seventh District caused a riot in the Ninth District, I was the one who personally ordered your arrest."
At that time, he was still Mr. Luo, the District Chief of the Seventh District.
A hidden light flashed through Shu Yao’s dark eyes.
Hearing this, Lin Zhenxiang was startled and carefully scrutinized the two of them.
’Why do I get the feeling that Vice District Chief Luo’s tone just now was meant to pass some kind of message to Shu Yao?’
"So Vice District Chief Luo and Sister Shu have this kind of history." Lin Zhenxiang appeared harmless, but a flash of mockery crossed her eyes. "Sister Shu, there must have been a reason why Vice District Chief Luo ordered your arrest back then. You can’t blame him."
Luo Xingyu shot her a sideways glance.
He could easily tell that Lin Zhenxiang was deliberately trying to embarrass Shu Yao.
He smiled and came to the rescue, "As it turns out, it was a few troublemakers from the Seventh District who intentionally caused the incident. I was being overly protective of my own and gave the wrong order. I hope Miss Shu won’t hold it against me."
Upon hearing this, the innocent smile on Lin Zhenxiang’s face froze for a moment.
Shu Yao beamed. "Speaking of which, I should be thanking you. Thanks to Vice District Chief Luo’s mistaken order, my family and I had the chance to reunite."
Luo Xingyu nodded in understanding.
Ke Dancheng, who was standing to the side, pushed up his glasses and stammered, "Uncle, she’s my classmate. Yesterday, she was the one who suggested to Dean Wen that they use a diluted Inhibitor on Auntie. That’s how Auntie’s condition stabilized."
Luo Xingyu looked at Shu Yao, his expression thoughtful. He spoke slowly, his tone solemn:
"...Thank you!"
Yesterday, he had returned from a trip to the Lower Star District. Although he hadn’t been able to find the Master of Pharmacy, he was overjoyed to see his wife’s condition had improved!
Only after asking did he learn that Dean Wen was experimenting with a new drug.
And the theory for this new drug had been proposed by one of his nephew’s female classmates. At the time, he had subconsciously assumed it was Lin Zhenxiang.
When he had expressed his gratitude to Lin Zhenxiang yesterday, she had seemed flustered and at a loss, but she hadn’t denied the credit.
Only after Ke Dancheng’s explanation did he understand what had really happened.
Thinking of this, Luo Xingyu shot another meaningful glance at Lin Zhenxiang.
Lin Zhenxiang had brought delicious food again today.
And it seemed that wasn’t all.
"Speaking of medicine... I almost forgot." Lin Zhenxiang took out a small, porcelain-white medicine bottle.
