Chapter 79

Their child has no root?

How could it be rootless?

It has a root.

He is Lu Chen, the child's father.

But can you really say all that so bluntly and directly to her at this moment?

No.

If he doesn't arrange this car accident, Lu Yanze will surely arrange another mishap.

Any accident arranged by Lu Yanze is bound to be fatal for the child.

Maybe neither Xie Wantang nor the child can be saved.

Lu Yanze is actually easy to handle; it's his patron behind the scenes who's troublesome.

The two stared at each other for a long time, and Xie Wantang was the first to look away.

"If there's nothing else to say, I should be going."

"Alright, have a safe journey."

「……」 => No.

Xie Wantang drew a deep breath; he really can keep his cool.

In that case, let's do it that way.

Xie Wantang decisively turned the wheelchair's direction, and a staff member came over to push her onto the plane.

From the moment she turned around, she never looked back again.

Lu Yanshen, however, kept staring at her with a piercing gaze.

"Xie Wantang, goodbye."

The plane took off, flying over their heads; Lu Yanshen turned and walked toward Pei Xiao and Qin Muyang, saying, "Attorney Qin, thank you for your hard work."

"President Lu, you're too kind," Qin Muyang replied, his attitude cold.

"Attorney Qin, please ride in our car; it's hard to get a taxi here," Lu Yanshen invited.

"Sure," Qin Muyang said, not refusing.

"I'll go get the car ready, President Lu, Attorney Qin; please wait a moment."

Pei Xiao had just driven the car over when Xia Meng arrived driving her own car.

She and Lu Yanshen have publicly announced they will marry; now she, with Dudou in tow, has officially moved back into the Lu family home, the villa of Lu Wentao and his wife.

She has a room in that villa.

Madam Lu, to show she is a good mother-in-law, took Xia Meng shopping for clothes and a car during Xie Wantang's hospitalization, and unilaterally announced that Xia Meng must retire from the entertainment industry.

As for the debts she previously owed, the Lu family will help her repay them.

Lu Yanshen's divorce settlement to his ex-wife is as high as one billion, which has added considerable prestige to him, and the stock price of Lu Corporation has not been affected at all by his marital changes.

In light of this, the old patriarch also let him off the hook.

Xia Meng parked her car in front of Lu Yanshen and Qin Muyang, then took the initiative to greet Qin Muyang first, saying, "Attorney Qin."

"Should I call you Miss Xia, or the future Mrs. Lu?" Qin Muyang asked Lu Yanshen sarcastically.

"As long as Attorney Qin is happy, I'm fine with either," Xia Meng replied with a smile.

Qin Muyang's face darkened; he had never seen such a shameless woman.

She stole someone else's husband, ruined another's marriage, yet this woman not only lacks any shame, but even dares to flaunt herself openly?

Ordinary people simply couldn't do something so devoid of morality.

Yanshen, get in the car, the tailor you requested has arrived; Aunt Lu asked me to pick you up and take your measurements.

Okay.

Lu Yanshen nodded, turned his head to look at Qin Muyang: "Then let Pei Xiao send off Lawyer Qin."

"Boss Lu is going to get busy." Qin Muyang said in an unfriendly tone.

After handing Qin Muyang over to Pei Xiao, Lu Yanshen got into Xia Meng's car.

Pei Xiao had Xia Meng drive ahead.

Xia Meng: "Did Lawyer Qin give you a hard time just now?"

Xia Meng asked while tapping her fingers on the steering wheel.

Morse code: What should we do next?

Lu Yanshen sat in the passenger seat, leaned back, rolled down the window, one hand resting casually on it, fingers tapping the code, and replied: "No, Lawyer Qin is a decent person; the Qin Family all speak reason."

Morse code: I need to go to Haishi; Pei Xiao and Su Nianchu will help you, don't be afraid.

Xia Meng: "That's good. Yesterday I went to the hospital to see Miss Xie; she just confiscated my belongings, but she didn't make things difficult for me."

Morse code: I'm not afraid; I just want to know whether Yanshen is alive or dead—I need an answer.

Lu Yanshen: "I've moved on from her; I won't mention her anymore. My present and future are all yours."

Morse code: Each other, each other.

Xia Meng: "I really feel sorry for Miss Xie, but we love each other—that's unavoidable. If there is a next life, I will definitely repay her for this concession."

Morse code: Are you ready?

Lu Yanshen: "She's a nice girl; it's me who let her down, and that has nothing to do with you."

Morse code: Ready, let's begin.

The next second, Xia Meng pressed the accelerator, racing through the last five seconds of the intersection.

Following behind them, Qin Muyang watched the car ahead suddenly accelerate for no reason, frowned: "What is that woman trying to do? What matter can't wait five seconds..." He didn't finish.

Before he could utter the two words, the next second, a loud bang.

A big truck on the left, when the signal light changed, accelerated and rushed, and collided violently with the car that Xia Meng was driving with Lu Yanshen.

Pei Xiao slammed on the brakes with one foot, opened the car door and rushed over.

Before getting out, he shouted to Qin Muyang, "Lawyer Qin, please call 120."

Qin Muyang stayed in the car, first called 120, then immediately called 110.

After the calls, in Qin Muyang's view the suburban area that should have had few people around the cars suddenly filled with many well‑meaning bystanders.

Everyone gathered around the two wrecked cars.

When Qin Muyang walked over, he saw the big truck surrounded by bystanders, and Xia Meng's car had its front crushed flat.

The driver's and the co‑driver's seats were both flattened.

Pei Xiao tried to pull Lu Yanshen out, but it was useless; moreover, both were unconscious, and the on‑looking bystanders urged Pei Xiao to refrain from moving the injured and wait for 120.

Pei Xiao heeded the advice.

Qin Muyang noticed the truck was empty, but the truck itself was heavy, and since its speed hadn't decreased, the impact was huge.

He went around to the front; Lu Yanshen and Xia Meng's faces were squeezed into a bloody, unrecognizable mess.

It looked like they were disfigured?

Of course it could also be that blood just smeared their faces.

Qin Muyang thought that after Lu Yanshen abandoned his sister, he would surely face retribution.

However, he never imagined the retribution would come so quickly.

And it happened right under his nose.

Qin Muyang's heart raced.

At that moment, 120 arrived with a wail, accompanied by traffic police.

Xia Meng and Lu Yanshen were lifted onto an ambulance, and the unharmed truck driver was taken away by the traffic police.

As for both cars, a tow truck hauled them to the traffic police station.

The on‑looking bystanders gradually dispersed.

Pei Xiao walked over, choking out: "Lawyer Qin, I'm sorry, we probably can't process the paperwork today, Lu …"

"It's fine, they're like this now, you go to the hospital."

"I'm heading to the airport; I'll go back to Haishi first, and wait until Lu is safe before saying anything."

"Alright, I'll take you to the airport." Pei Xiao nodded.

"Thanks for the trouble."

"No problem."

After all, so many of them took part in this grand 'reviving the dead' trick, and Qin Muyang was the only spectator.

Besides, the 120 and the traffic police were genuine.
