Chapter 751: Not Settling This In Private

Yan Huan unlocked her mobile phone. Upon seeing Little Lei’s dirty appearance on her screen, she could not help but burst into laughter. She then grabbed her bag, preparing to leave.

However, as she was leaving the hospital, she stopped involuntarily. An indescribable feeling of loneliness grew in her heart.

So this was what it felt like to live alone.

She received a phone call from an unfamiliar number as she was just about to leave.

“Hello, is this Miss Luo?”

The voice over the phone was unfamiliar. She had never heard it before, let alone seeing this phone number. Who was it? Furthermore, Miss Luo, since when did she become Miss Luo?

“Who are you?” She walked over to a bench and sat down. The injury on her leg had not recovered, thus she could no longer ride a bicycle.

“I’m Lin Jiajia’s family. Can we arrange a meeting?”

Lin Jiajia, this name does ring a bell.

Yan Huan repeatedly searched through her memories. However, she could only recall her name but not her appearance.

Well, who was Lin Jiajia? It was a woman’s name. And her family, what did her family have to do with this? She got more confused as she listened.

“I don’t have time.” Yan Huan had not thought of meeting anyone here. She could not get herself to meet anyone with such a face, not to say that she was ugly as sin. It was just that she really could not be exposed. If anyone saw her, her peaceful days here would be gone. She then had to look for another place to live, which would force her to move and familiarize herself with a new environment again. She was neither willing nor wanting to do so.

The person over there was silent for some time before he continued, “Miss Luo, I wanted to discuss that incident with you. Can we settle this in private? We will consider it regardless of the amount you are asking for.”

Upon hearing this, Yan Huan suddenly remembered who Lin Jiajia was. She was the female driver who had hit someone. She wanted to settle it in private? But, why? She hit someone while she was driving under the influence of alcohol, and this was witnessed by everyone. Was she trying to escape the charges?

Yan Huan was lucky as she was still alive. But, what about the others?

Everyone’s life is precious. You can’t get it back once you lose it.

Now, they wanted to settle this in private with her?

“Miss Luo?” The person on the over the phone asked again.

Yan Huan pinched her bag. The slight breeze which blew on her face made her feel cold.

“How much can you afford to pay me?” She asked.

The person over the phone remained silent. After a long time, he spoke up.

“Miss Luo, what do you think? After all, you are only suffering from minor injuries. We gave someone 50,000 with more severe injuries. So, how about this…” The person sounded as if he was doing charity.

“I will also give you 50,000 yuan. What do you think?”

“50,000?” Yan Huan laughed. The wind blew on her face and the smile on her face turned cold.

“I’ll give you five million to resurrect the dead.”

It was ridiculous, a mere 50,000 yuan? I, Yan Huan is only worth 50,000? If it was so, then her title of being the box office elixir was all for naught.

Why would she need money, since the person was already dead? Could she buy a human life with money? Human lives were priceless. If a human life could be measured with money, then she would use all her money in exchange for Lu Yi’s life. Even at all cost.

But, was it possible, was it possible?

Was it truly possible?

“Miss Luo, please don’t get agitated.” The person over the phone quickly softened his tone. “What about this, I’ll give you another 10,000. What do you think?”

Yan Huan lifted her head. The smile on her face was completely gone.

“Sorry.” Her voice was calm and cold. Just like the weather and wind at that moment.

“I don’t want your money. I don’t want it even if you are giving me 500,000. Those who have breached the law must accept the penalty. Even if no one sues her, I will.”

After saying that, she hung up and stood up again. Then, she carefully walked down the street. Her leg was still hurting, reminding her of what had happened and how her leg got injured.

Who could even calculate how much was Yan Huan’s face, hands and legs worth?

10,000. 10,000. Do I even need that 10,000?

Yes, even if no one sued her, she would. She would sue Lin Jiajia until she ended up in prison. This was for those who had passed away and got injured in the accident.

She reached home and laid on her bed, not wanting to move. She missed home and wanted to go home. She also missed Yi Ling, her parents, and also Lu Yi. She wanted to visit Lu Yi, but how could she return to the Sea City while looking like this? How could she explain to them what exactly had happened to her?

In fact, not to mention the others, she herself did not even know how she got injured.

Meanwhile, at the hospital, a man in a suit was standing in front of Lu Yi.

“Nice to meet you.” He extended his hand with awkwardness evident on his face as he did not know how to address Lu Yi. They only managed to find out that the other woman’s surname was Sun and another one who was known as Jiu Yue.

But, where did such a weird name come from? Was he supposed to call him Mr. Jiu Yue?

“My surname is Lu.” Lu Yi sat down. That was the situation in the ward.

The man was still in an awkward state.

“Mr. Lu, this is the situation right now.” He waited for a while before stating his intention.

“I am Miss Lin Jiajia’s lawyer and my surname is Bai. My client would like to settle this issue in private and we are truly remorseful for the harm that she had caused. We would like to know what compensation do you need. As long as it’s within our reach, we will agree to it.”

Lu Yi was well-versed in the subject of law as he himself was a prosecutor. Although he still had serious amnesia, he had regained the memories regarding his job.

He understood that this man was here to settle the matter out of court. However, everyone was equal in the face of the law.

In the end, you still have to pay the price for the mistakes you have done.

“What are you going to offer me?” He asked calmly as he crossed his long legs. At that moment, Lawyer Bai, who was sitting next to him, suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of pressure. Just like what he felt when he was in court facing off against a prosecutor.

It made him straighten his back, afraid of being pressured by this Mr Lu to the extent of bending his waist, snapping his bones and nullifying his imposing aura.

“What does Mr. Lu want?” Lawyer Bai calmly asked again. “Money, a house, a car. As long as it is your wish, we will try our best to fulfill.”

“I want…” Lu Yi’s thin lips parted, the words that left his lips coldly uttered.

Meanwhile, Lawyer Bai waited patiently for Lu Yi’s answer. As long as he was willing to settle it privately, anything he wanted can be fulfilled. Even if it was a daylight robbery.

Suddenly, Lu Yi lifted the corners of his mouth. It was not a smile, but a sneer.

“My request is simple. Let her go to jail.”

“Mr. Lu, I hope that you can think carefully about it.” This was the second time Lawyer Bai got rejected today. The first time was by Miss Luo who was not willing to meet. This time it was by this Mr. Lu who was unflinchingly stubborn, yielding neither to persuasion or coercion.
