The Little Brat’s Sweet And Sassy

1207 Her Lu Huaiyu

“Huaiyu was kidnapped when he was six.”

Fang Yunyi opened her eyes as tears welled up in her eyes.

“They took Huaiyu to a barren mountain and hid there for an entire day and night. One of the kidnappers was shot dead on the spot, while the other was injured. In order to escape, he had tied Huaiyu to the driver’s seat and jumped out of the car while on the road. He then ran down another road.

“It was a very steep downhill road. Huaiyu had not drunk a single drop of water throughout the entire day and night, and he had been tied to his seat. In the end, the car had rolled down the hill and was completely destroyed.”

Fang Yunyi began to sound hoarse.

“When we found Huaiyu, he was stuck in the severely deformed driver’s seat and had already passed out.

“There were all sorts of wounds on his body, big and small. Some were from being hit by a stick, while others were from having been whipped with a belt. The two kidnappers had used all sorts of methods to beat him up in that one day and one night. But the most serious was…”

Her voice trembled slightly as she trailed off.

Even though many years had passed, she still felt as if a knife was being twisted in her heart whenever she thought of that scene.

“In order to break free from the driver’s seat, he had struggled with all his might. Both of his wrists were already badly injured from being tied up with wires. But that section of the road was going downhill and the speed that the car was going had been very fast. He had not had any time to escape at all.”

Fang Yunyi closed her eyes, almost unable to hold back her tears.

“He was only six years old then.”

Shen Li sat there, motionless. Her mind was blank and there was a ringing in her ears.

She seemed to have lost all feeling in her body and she felt as if she had gone completely stiff until even moving her fingers had become extremely difficult.

Gu Tinglan’s voice seemed to come from a very far place.

“After… that incident, he had developed a high fever and was unconscious for three days. When he woke up, he had forgotten everything that happened that day and night.

“This was because of his instinct to protect himself. He had deliberately forgotten the part of his memory that he couldn’t bear. However, the car accident at Yanhui Mountain had reminded him of the past. So…”

Shen Li’s lips were pale.

“So, all these years, the hallucinatory pain he had felt was not just of the moment of the car accident, but also…”

There was also the pain of having been kidnapped, beaten up, tied to the driver’s seat, and unable to break free despite trying his best. He had only been able to watch as the car lost control and rushed down the hill to be destroyed.

She wanted to say something, but when she opened her mouth, she found that she could no longer make a sound.

She was in a daze. Her eyes were out of focus, and her vision had gradually blurred.

So this was what had happened.

So it had been like this…

That was why he was unable to drive.

So, from then on, he had never been in the driver’s seat.

No one knew what kind of pain Lu Huaiyu had suffered back then, nor did anyone know what kind of despair he had experienced during that journey.

He had still been so young then, but, but…

No one had come to save Lu Huaiyu.

However, he had still come today.

A hot tear fell on the back of her hand, burning all the way to her heart. It was as if there was a fire burning from there, spreading silently and enveloping her tightly, making it difficult for her to breathe.

Fang Yunyi looked at her with red eyes.

“He probably never told you how important you are to him.

“All he has is you.”

…

Shen Li returned to the ward.

It was already late at night, but Lu Huaiyu was still sleeping.

She walked over and sat down by the bed, her gaze falling on his face.

His face was a little pale, and the color of his lips was also very light, but it still did not hide his exquisite beauty. In fact, it even added a bit of glass-like transparency and fragility.

She looked at him quietly for a while, then held his hand and gently lay down beside it.

She closed her eyes, her thick and curly eyelashes trembled slightly, and soon, there was a small wet patch on the white blanket.

…

In the morning.

It had rained the entire day before, and today, it had finally cleared up.

The bright sunlight shone down.

When Lu Huaiyu woke up, he felt as if something was pressing down on him.

He opened his eyes and turned his head slightly. He saw Shen Li lying beside his bed.

She was wearing Shen Zhijin’s coat, and her hair was a little messy. She was holding his hand, and the fine hair on her cheeks could even be seen under the sun.

Lu Huaiyu was actually very reluctant to wake her up, but he was even more reluctant to continue to let her sleep like this… She had actually stayed here to watch over him the entire night.

He moved his hand.

“Ah Li?”

Shen Li had not slept well, so she woke up the moment Lu Huaiyu moved.

She sat up and said, “Second Brother, you’re awake?”

Her voice was extremely husky.

...

Lu Huaiyu’s brows furrowed slightly as he touched her forehead.

It was boiling hot.

“You’re running a fever,” he said.

Shen Li had been in the rain for too long the day before, and she was injured. She had stayed here the whole night, so how could her body take it?

She shook her head, “I’m fine. How’s Second Brother?”

Lu Huaiyu sat up.

He could see that her face was pale and her cheeks were abnormally red. Her eyes were also bloodshot. It was heartbreaking to see her like this.

He touched her face and said, “I’ll call the doctor over.”

…

Shen Li’s fever reached 39 degrees.

It took a week.

...

Within a week, the news that the famous Chinese artist, Shi Yang, was involved in the sale of fake paintings for illegal profit was also exposed.

However, this was not the most shocking thing.

According to the police report, he was also involved in the planning of kidnapping and intentional murder.

He had three lives on his back.

Just as he was about to commit another crime, he tried to shoot the hostage and was eventually shot dead on the spot by the police.

Yu Jing and Yu Yu from the Yu family from Haicheng were also involved, and the two were also involved in many other crimes, even involving Yu Ming and Yu Feng.

At this point, the Yu family was completely defeated.

The moment the news came out, it immediately caused an uproar on the Internet.

No one had expected that this well-known gentle and elegant Chinese scholar would be such a crazy murderer in private.

And the collapse of the Yu family was faster than expected.

The news was abuzz, and after a week, it finally subsided.

However, all of this had nothing to do with Shen Li.

She put away her phone and looked at Shen Zhijin.

“Dad, Second Brother is being discharged today. I want to go over and take care of him for a few days.” 𝐟𝓇ℯ𝒆we𝒃𝘯𝒐νe𝑙.co𝚖

Lu Huaiyu had been in the hospital for the past week, and she had also been recuperating. The two of them had not seen each other much.

Moreover, even though Lu Huaiyu had been discharged from the hospital, his left shoulder was still wounded, so it was not convenient for him to be alone.

Shen Zhijin touched her hair.

“Alright,” he said.

Shen Li went back to her bedroom.

On the table was a black backpack and a black metal business card with dark blood stains.

When she came back that day, she had rummaged through her backpack and found this business card.

She picked up her backpack and kept the business card. Then, she looked up at the glass candy jar on the table.

She picked it up.

After that, she gave Lu Huaiyu a call.

The call was answered very quickly.

“Ah Li?”

She clenched her fists slightly.

“Second Brother, I’ll be waiting for you at Rongyue Mansion.”
