Sweet Wife in My Arms

Chapter 752: Transferring to Sea City

“There’s no need for that,” said Lu Yi coldly as he drove his hand into the table. “What we want from the law is justice. Save your efforts. The court’s decision will be the final decision. No one can escape the righteousness and solemnity of law.”

Lawyer Bai froze. This is the second awkward customer he had encountered that day. Looks like he would have to confer with his boss and see if he has other solutions.

He was aware of the difficulties involved in extricating Lin Jiajia this time. As a result of her drunk driving, she had killed and injured many. If they were willing to accept her compensations privately, there’s a chance that she would get a lighter sentence if she pleaded guilty. But things would get very troublesome if someone among the victims insisted on suing her.

Still, all hope wasn’t lost. The victims were all powerless people after all. It was only a matter of how much they had to spend to buy their silence.

Lu Yi walked into the hospital room. Sun Yuhan had just had her operation, which turned out to be successful. Her legs no longer needed amputation, but would require a long time to recover. She would have to rely on the wheelchair for nearly half a year. That was only the start, however, from when she would have to go through a long period of rehabilitation before she could get back on her own feet.

But those were only a matter of time. The most difficult phase had passed.

Sun Yuhan was finally asleep, under the effect of painkillers. Her pain tolerance was low, so she often cried out her pain.

Lu Yi sat down and looked at the woman on the bed.

When things get better a few days later, he planned on making a trip home. He hadn’t contacted anyone yet; not even Lei Qingyi or his parents. He wanted to find out about some things, which could be achieved much more easily by going back himself than by making calls.

He had been missing for two years, and most people must have thought him dead. He wondered how many people he would scare with this return.

He held Sun Yuhan’s hand, but felt nothing.

The light was dim and scattered by the time it slanted through the window.

When Lawyer Bai arrived at the hospital again, Lu Yi and Sun Yuhan had already left. This time, he had come with his boss’s orders to buy their silence at all costs. Them being gone by now was not something he had expected. Sun Yuhan had already been discharged, and to where no one could say, except that it was under Mr. Lu’s request. Left with no choice, he had to track their address to where they lived. There he found a vacant unit put up for sale. It was almost as though they had vanished into thin air.

“Leave them be for now,” was what his boss told him. “Deal with the others first. We can handle them last. It’s better for us if they can’t be found.”

He had pretty much dealt with all of them, except for that woman, Luo Lin.

Sun Yuhan couldn’t believe that she was on a plane. Her leg was still in a cast, but she was fit enough to be discharged. Her leg would be fine as long as she didn’t move around too much.

And now, she was actually flying in the sky. It had been her first time on a plane, despite her age. She found it hard to put the experience to words, to wrap her head around how she was flying. But there she was, thousands of meters above the ground. She could even see the clouds.

She didn’t even know why she was there in the first place.

“Where are we going,” she asked Lu Yi beside her. She had never left Xun River, where she was born and grew up in. She had parents, but not biological ones. Some man had found her and adopted her after her own mother had abandoned her, but their love waned when they had a child of their own. She was ugly, stupid, and unwanted, so she had to survive on her own.

Years passed. Life was merely passable at best, until the turning point where she took that man in.

To be exact, he was the one who had saved her and thence got knocked out. Her initial motivation for accommodating him was, of course, to repay him for his kindness, but she would not have persevered if he had not been good-looking.

But don’t call her selfish. Anyone who isn’t selfish in this world doesn’t live long.

When she had first brought him back, she nursed the hope that he would turn out the be CEO of some company, or some rich or influential men that would make a Cinderella out of her.

That dream shattered at the moment the man woke up.

He was a man without memories, a man who knew nothing.

Wait.. why were they on a plane again?

“We are transferring you to another hospital,” said Lu Yi, spreading a blanket across Sun Yuhan. He seemed a little different, but Sun Yuhan couldn’t put her finger on what had changed.

“Another hospital, huh...” mused Sun Yuhan. She touched her leg and exhaled softly. Thankfully, the doctor had promised her that her leg was recovering and no longer required an amputation. Otherwise, she would have to suspect that Jiu Yue was transferring her to another hospital to get her leg sawed off.

Something still felt off to her, but she didn’t dwell on the thought. It must have been because the hospital there wasn’t good enough, she thought, and that’s why he’s moving me to a better hospital.

She was oblivious to Jiu Yue’s changes—he had become increasingly taciturn, and his eyes bore more experience and calmness. Jiu Yue had lost half his soul, but the other half had returned to him.

As to how the identification-less Lu Yi got his hands on air tickets—he had his own methods, of course. It wasn’t that hard, since he was only taking a plane and not doing anything else.

They arrived at Sea City on the following morning.

Sea City. He had not been here for a long time. The place the plane landed in was none other than the newly-opened airport—Hengbin Airport. Not far away from there was the airport’s port, now an indispensable transport hub.

The airport had been an investment project a year ago. It owed its popularity to a number of reasons: large size, brand-new facilities, its proximity and accessibility to Sea City, as well as its grand hotels.

Even though it wasn’t an international airport, it was by no means a small place. It was also the first airport in the country to be built on private investments.
