The light from the wall lamps was gentle, but Lin Nuan still felt the piercing light hurt her eyes, the kind that hurt badly …
She wanted to turn around, but Fu Huai 'an held her down tightly, unable to break free. She closed her eyes and didn't look.
Fu Huai 'an wiped away her tears, but it seemed like there was no end to it.
"Xiao Nuan, Bai Xiaonian hasn't woken up yet. We haven't figured out what exactly happened, so there's no rush to call the police. We won't do anything for now. The first priority is to take care of Bai Xiaonian, and the second is to think of a way to hide it from Bai Xiaonian's father. After Bai Xiaonian wakes up, we'll respect Bai Xiaonian's wishes, but we can't blow things up yet. Think about Bai Xiaonian and Lu Jinnan, both of them have special statuses. Once they blow things up … it'll be a storm! By then, we won't be able to hide it from Bai Xiaonian's father. Do you think this will work? "
Both of them calmed down and were able to listen to each other's words.
Lu Jinnan had already admitted to raping Bai Xiaonian, but Lin Nuan couldn't bring herself to say it.
Didn't that mean Lin Nuan was taking a step back on this matter …
However, she felt that Fu Huai 'an was right. First, take care of Bai Xiaonian, and second … they had to hide it from Uncle Bai. How could they hide it? Lin Nuan had to think of a way.
Bai Xiaonian's mother couldn't stand the humiliation and jumped off a building. If Bai Xiaonian's father found out … Bai Xiaonian jumped off a building for the same reason, how could he take it?
Lin Nuan didn't say anything, but it was a silent agreement. She endured the pain in her eyes and opened them, asking, "What if Xiaonian wakes up and wants to call the police?"
Fu Huai 'an recalled what Lu Jinnan said today. If Bai Xiaonian wanted his life, he'd give it to her. If she wanted him to go to jail, he'd go.
"If that's the case, what should we do …" Fu Huai 'an added, "I won't interfere."
Hearing this, Lin Nuan's eyes finally regained some color. She gazed at him for a moment, and tears finally gushed out.
Her clear and beautiful eyes were misty and bloodshot, making Fu Huai 'an's heart ache.
"Really?"
Lin Nuan asked childishly.
Lin Nuan knew in her heart that Fu Huai 'an had never been a righteous man.
He used to be a lawyer, and a lawyer's job was to get people's money out of trouble. Lin Nuan didn't pay much attention in the past, but she had heard about how Fu Huai 'an took an exorbitant lawyer's fee to fight a lawsuit on behalf of a defendant, forcefully turning black into white and forcing the plaintiff's entire family to commit suicide by jumping off a building.
"En … really!" Fu Huai 'an nodded and hugged her tightly. "On one side is you, and on the other side is Lu Jinnan. Xiao Nuan …"
Lin Nuan didn't wait for Fu Huai 'an to finish speaking. She turned around and buried herself in his arms. "I just want you to stay out of this!"
Fu Huai 'an kissed Lin Nuan's forehead, his lips lingering for a long time as he held her in his arms.
Lin Nuan was never one to push her luck. She knew her limits …
After considering things from Fu Huai 'an's point of view, Lin Nuan made this request. Actually, it wasn't too much, but Fu Huai' an could feel that … she was still hugging him gratefully.
Fu Huai 'an could feel how much Lin Nuan cared about their relationship.
This made Fu Huai 'an feel a tinge of sweetness in his frustrated mood. He kissed Lin Nuan's cheeks, lips … and neck …
Considering Lin Nuan's feelings, Fu Huai 'an didn't go overboard. In the end, he just hugged Lin Nuan and fell asleep.
…
At three in the morning, Fu Huai 'an's phone vibrated.
Fu Huai 'an had always been a light sleeper. His phone vibrated, and he was afraid it would disturb Lin Nuan's sleep. He reached out to pick it up from the bedside table and turned off the screen.
Lin Nuan didn't sleep well. She moved slightly, then furrowed her brows and fell asleep again.
Fu Huai 'an gently got up with his phone. Seeing that it was a call from Tang Zheng, he went to the balcony and closed the sliding door before answering the call …
"What's up?" Through the glass door, Fu Huai 'an turned his head sideways and gazed at Lin Nuan, who was still sound asleep under the dim wall lights.
"Old Fu, I just heard from someone in the Night Palace that they saw Lu Jinnan's woman jump off a building? Where did Lu Jinnan get a woman from? Do you know what's going on? "Tang Zheng sounded confused." I couldn't get through to Lu Jinnan's phone. "
Fu Huai 'an's dark eyes narrowed when he heard that. "Who did you hear that from?"
Fu Huai 'an had sealed off the news the moment he found out about Bai Xiaonian jumping off a building.
Moreover, regardless of whether it was the hospital's medical staff or those in the know, all they knew … was that Lu Jinnan had raped Bai Xiaonian. No matter what, it shouldn't have been so ridiculous as to say that Lu Jinnan's woman had jumped off a building.
Tang Zheng stood at the door of the bathroom and took a puff of his cigarette. He looked around and only spoke when he saw that no one was around. "Young Master Wang of Haicheng West …"
Fu Huai 'an tightened his grip on the phone, and there was a hint of coldness in his deep and rich voice. "Invite Young Master Wang to the private room and have a seat. Within half an hour … I want to know how he found out about Lu Jinnan's woman jumping off a building."
That serious?
"Young Master Wang of Haicheng West, that's …"
Tang Zheng wanted to say something but stopped. He took a puff of his cigarette and put it out in the ashtray on top of the trash can. "Got it …"
After hanging up, Tang Zheng put his phone in his pocket and loosened his tie. He walked out of the bathroom with both hands in his pockets.
A security guard in black was talking into his earpiece. He saw Tang Zheng frowning and waving at him with one hand in his pocket. He hurriedly ran over.
Tang Zhen covered his mouth with one hand and whispered something in the security guard's ear. The security guard nodded. "Yes, boss. I'll get it done now!"
…
Fu Huai 'an saw Lin Nuan turn over. He took a look and walked away. After a moment of deliberation, he called the deputy director of the provincial public security department.
A sleepy voice came from the other end of the line. "President Fu, what can I do for you at this hour?"
Fu Huai 'an said calmly, "I'm sorry to disturb your sleep at this hour. Today, my assistant came out of the Night Palace and found the beaten up Young Master Wang of Haicheng West. Young Master Wang is unconscious, and the Wangs have always treasured this grandson of theirs. Recently, our Kaide Corporation and the Wangs have been competing for the municipal renovation project. If we don't make things clear, I won't be able to explain it to Old Master Wang. I know you have some personal ties with Old Master Wang, so I'm calling you at this hour to ask you to check the municipal traffic surveillance. I want to see where Young Master Wang went today and see if there are any clues."
"Which blind guy beat up Xiaofeng of Wang Family?!" Deputy Director Fang quivered on the other side and became more clear-headed.
