Chapter 221: 224 make me happy_1
"I’m heading back to Jiangcheng, there’s an issue!" said Lin Xiangwan, coming out of her room to talk to Qin Muchuan.
"Return to Jiangcheng? What’s the matter there?" Qin Muchuan asked, puzzled.
Lin Xiangwan was both anxious and terrified. "My friend got in trouble in prison, he almost died at the Detention Center this morning, I have to go see him!"
"That guy named Hu Sen?"
"Yes!"
"No!"
Lin Xiangwan looked at him, eyes full of disbelief.
"I said no!" Qin Muchuan repeated.
"I must go back!" Lin Xiangwan’s stance was exceptionally firm. "He’s my best friend and my younger brother. I can’t stand by and watch him get bullied, and I can’t bear to lose him!"
"What can you do by going back? Can you rescue him? Or can you find evidence to save him?" Qin Muchuan’s gaze contained a hint of annoyance and coldness as he reminded her.
More and more confused, Lin Xiangwan felt a growing agony in her heart, hating herself for not having any solution.
"Your going would be futile. Moreover, he is not an ordinary victim, he’s a criminal suspect. Even at the hospital, you won’t get to see him, there are police guarding!" Qin Muchuan glanced at her, continuing to ruthlessly remind her.
Lin Xiangwan closed her eyes. She knew he was right, she would be powerless even if she went there.
She had no connections with authority figures, no opportunities to make things easier. She lacked professional skills and couldn’t identify any evidence to demonstrate his innocence.
The scales of guilt for not being able to help weighed heavily on her heart.
She was reminded of their moments together during their days at the orphanage; Hu Sen’s protection and his need for her to protect him. This guy who had once suffered torment now was in pain and she didn’t know how to help him.
Qin Muchuan lowered his head, looking at her. "So, you should stay at home! Your friend is a mobster. He should have been prepared for an outcome like this. After all, it’s not his first time in prison! He doesn’t change, even after so many years, so ending up in prison again is nothing out of the ordinary!"
Lin Xiangwan lifted her head, badly upset by his words. "Hu Sen is not a bad person. He wanted to change, but do you know? Heaven didn’t give children like us opportunities to improve. I was lucky to be adopted. Hu Sen was a good child in his younger days. Though he was frequently bullied, he didn’t dare to fight back. I always took care of him. When I was adopted, he cried that entire day, holding onto my hand, not letting me leave..."
This was the first time she had confessed to him, the first time she admitted in front of him that she was an orphan, an adopted child!
The pain in Lin Xiangwan’s heart was too intense. She was desperate to defend Hu Sen and was so caught up in that she failed to realize she had actually revealed a long-hidden fact. "Hu Sen, he’s a good child, always has been. But circumstances forced him into crime... The torturous fact that no one could help him-"
"Are you trying to tell me that all the terrible things he did were because he was forced? He didn’t want to do them? Is he innocent?" Qin Muchuan asked in response.
Lin Xiangwan shook her head. "He has made mistakes, and he should be punished by the law. But as a relative, I am willing to help him change. I hope he lives a better life, and there’s no wrong in that, right?"
"There’s nothing wrong with that, I sympathize with him!" Qin Muchuan nodded.
Suddenly, Lin Xiangwan gripped him, pulling on his arm. "Qin Muchuan, can you help him? He really didn’t deal in drugs. Someone framed him, they want him dead!"
"That’s something I can’t help with!" Qin Muchuan pushed her hand away.
Lin Xiangwan held onto him, refusing to let go. "You definitely can help him, you know many people!"
"Although I indeed know many people, I have principles too. I don’t want to get involved in underworld affairs, I am sorry!" Qin Muchuan didn’t leave any room for negotiation.
There are things that can be done, and there are things that shouldn’t even be considered.
Watching his merciless back, tears streamed down Lin Xiangwan’s face!
This piece of business, she really couldn’t understand him.
But he was the only person she could turn to!
Su Yueze, who had finished eating at the restaurant, walked over, hands in his pockets, looking at her. "Just stop crying, it’s all in vain. How can tears melt a man whose heart is as stone-cold as his!"
More tears began to stream down Lin Xiangwan’s face. Was there really no way out?
"That Hu Sen, really, hanging out with influential people, problems are bound to arise!"
Lin Xiangwan wiped away her tears. "You also know he was falsely accused, right?"
"Sure, I know. I heard that the kid always had principles, he wouldn’t touch drugs, nor force girls into prostitution!" Su Yueze thought carefully and nodded. "Strictly speaking, he’s actually a pretty good guy!"
"Yes! He has always been taking good care of me, and he has a strong sense of justice!"
"What a pity, he’s not lucky!"
"Su Yueze, can you...?"
Whistling, Su Yueze paused for a moment. "Now, you think of me! Why didn’t you think of me before?"
"..." Lin Xiangwan clenched her teeth, not knowing what to say.
"Ah... Let me tell you, I’m not as unsociable as Qin Muchuan. If you can touch me emotionally, or make me happy, maybe I would really wade through the muddy water for you!" Su Yueze whispered into her ears.
Touching and happiness?
Those two words seemed not too difficult, she should give it a try. "Have you eaten yet? If not, I will cook for you right now!"
Su Yueze almost sneered. "Why didn’t you ask me this ten minutes ago? I just had instant noodles at your house, so full!!"
