Chapter 352 How to Get Away with It
Yu Ru's gaze returned to Yun Jixing. She looked at him earnestly and asked, "They severed your Achilles tendons, and I severed theirs too. It's a pity, I should have let them sever their own; that would have been more painful. Sometimes I really hate how kind I am, that I can't even think of a more painful way to torture them. Are you in pain now?"
Yun Jixing stared intently at Yu Ru without replying. His lips moved slightly for a long time before he finally managed to utter, "You're so beautiful."
Yu Ru didn't hear what he was saying, so she leaned forward and asked, "What did you say? I didn't hear you."
As soon as she leaned closer, Yun Jixing couldn't help but press his head against hers. He could clearly smell the scent of Yu Ru's shower gel and the fragrance of her own skin. He closed his eyes, trying to savor the scents, and murmured, "You... are so beautiful, simply... mesmerizing. I can't believe you are... my wife. I... have fallen in love with you, and I want to be with you forever."
Now Yu Ru heard clearly. She straightened up, looked at Yun Jixing strangely, and asked, "Yun Jixing, what's wrong with you? Why are you saying strange things?"
The air suddenly fell silent. Yun Jixing realized that what he had said was indeed very strange to his wife, with whom he had been together for so long. He quickly tried to salvage the situation by recalling the words Sang Zhuxian had taught him, "Aru, Aru... my Aru..."
Seeing that he was about to speak again, Yu Ru moved closer.
"Aru, I... I was so happy to see you back. Are you... hurt?"
"No." Yu Ru stood up and said, "I'll eat first, and we can chat later."
In the lounge attached to Yun Jixing's ward, the Yun family members were all gathered. Except for the children who were at home, some adults who were at home taking care of the children, and the two very busy people, Yun Wenzhi and Yun Sizhi, who were not there, everyone else had come here. Situ Ningzhai and Yun Zhonghe sat in the middle of the group.
Everyone remained silent.
After a while, Situ Ningzhai asked Sang Zhuxian, "Zhuxian, has Xiaoru returned? Is she injured?"
"Mom, I don't know yet. Xiaoru didn't tell me. I'll check the messages now." Sang Zhuxian took out her phone from her pocket and opened her usual messaging app. The latest message was from Yuru, and she immediately clicked to view it.
Yu Ru: Mom, I've arrived. I'm having lunch in the ward. Where did everyone else go?
Yu Ru posted this message along with a photo of the food she was eating.
After reading the message, Sang Zhuxian put away her phone and replied, "Mom, Xiaoru is here. She's in Xingxing's ward, eating her meal. Shall we let her come over after she's finished eating?"
Situ Ningzhai nodded. "Yes, we should eat first, after accomplishing such a big thing."
After speaking, Situ Ningzhai returned to his silent, contemplative state. Yun Zhonghe suddenly sighed at this moment, and looked at everyone, asking, "Does anyone have thought of a good way? The most important thing is to save Xiaoru's life and delay her from being taken away."
"Dad, Mom, let's get Xiaoru a certificate of mental illness. First, remove the suspicion that she committed intentional homicide and explain that her killing was not of her own volition but was unconscious," Yun Bianzhi said.
Yun Zhonghe nodded. "That's one way." He looked at Shan Shou and said, "Shan Shou, you have connections in this area, so please help me get this certificate done as soon as possible, and try to make it as serious as possible."
Shan Shou nodded. "I understand, Grandpa. I'll take care of it for my sister-in-law in the next couple of days."
"And another thing," Situ Ningzhai spoke again, his tone serious, "Although Xiaoru was too reckless this time, she did rid the people of a scourge after all. If this had gone through the normal process, those people would probably only have died if World War III had occurred. So you are not allowed to say anything to her to blame her. All of you, keep your mouths shut, understand? Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask."
Everyone nodded and replied in unison, "We know, Grandma, we promise to complete the mission!"
After observing Situ Ningzhai and Yun Zhonghe and seeing that they should be quiet for the time being, Shanxin looked at Sang Zhuxian and her husband and asked, "Second Uncle, Aunt, who exactly did Xiaoru kill? Do you have a list? Why don't we all take a look at the list and sort out their network of relationships? That way, we'll know where to go when we need to make connections."
“There is no list yet. Xiaoru just told me that several important people had died and gave me a few names,” Sang Zhuxian replied. “She said there were too many people, and each of them had a high status, so we need to verify them before we can make a list.”
"In that case... we'll just have to wait." The believer nodded.
After replying to the letter, Sang Zhuxian stood up and said to Yun Zhonghe and Situ Ningzhai, "Dad, Mom, I'm going to check on Xiaoru next door."
“Go ahead.” Situ Ningzhai nodded.
Sang Zhuxian arrived at the door of Yun Jixing's ward and went straight in. She glanced around the room and noticed that Yu Ru wasn't there; only Yun Jixing, the two aunts, and Ru Youen were present. Yun Jixing was lying on the bed with his eyes closed, seemingly resting, though it was unclear whether he was asleep or not. The others were eating.
She looked at Ru Youen and asked softly, "Youen, where is Xiaoru?"
“Madam, Madam is having dinner on the balcony,” Ru Youen replied.
Sang Zhuxian nodded and walked towards the balcony.
balcony,
Yu Ru sat in the corner, eating heartily. Due to her childhood experience of being abused by human traffickers, she had some difficulty swallowing and preferred rice soaked in soup, which made it easier and faster for her to eat. The surroundings were quiet, with only the sound of her slurping the soup. The soft rustling sound echoed in her ears, but she still keenly noticed the faint footsteps behind her. She immediately turned around and saw that it was Sang Zhuxian. She put down her bowl and stood up.
"Mother."
Sang Zhuxian was stunned by the "Mom" outfit. She slowly walked towards Yu Ru, a smile gradually appearing on her face. "Xiao Ru, why did I hear someone calling me Mom? Was that you?"
"Mom," Yu Ru called out again.
"Oh my!" Sang Zhuxian hugged Yu Ru in surprise. "It really is you! How come you can talk? When you called me, I thought you were talking to me through AI. It turns out it was you speaking in person."
“Mom, the situation was urgent, and I was forced to speak suddenly,” Yu Ru explained calmly, leaning against her.
"Good news, really good news." Sang Zhuxian patted Yu Ru's head. "Are you hurt?"
Yu Ru shook her head. "No, none of the people I took there were injured or killed. They all came back safe and sound."
"Xiaoru, you're really amazing." Sang Zhuxian said happily, holding Yuru's arm. "You've done a great job this time."
"Mom, I've gotten into big trouble too. Did someone else send you to call me over so I can explain what happened?"
Sang Zhuxian's smile faded slightly. She lovingly stroked Yu Ru's head and replied, "No, I just wanted to see you. No one blames you, and you didn't do anything wrong. It's just that this time... too many people died at once, hundreds, and more than half of them were people in important positions. Those positions have been vacant for too long, and someone will definitely come to investigate, which will be very troublesome. Everyone is thinking about how to help you get away with it. Anyway, we won't let you be arrested, at least not sentenced to death. You don't have to talk about what happened in that villa if you don't want to, but everyone just hopes you can provide a list of the dead so they can smooth things over and suppress this matter."
“Mom, I’ve turned myself in. Someone will come to take me away in a while. I intercepted a lot of classified documents while killing those people. These documents are related to national security, and I have to escort them to the right people.”
"When did you turn yourself in?" Sang Zhuxian looked shocked. She looked at Yu Ru seriously and asked, "Xiao Ru, such a big thing, why didn't you tell your family first? Who did you turn yourself in to?"
Yu Ru looked at her with gentle eyes and smiled as she replied, "Mom, I'm sorry, the other party's identity is confidential and I can't tell you. Besides, I'm not quite sure who it is that will come to take me away. But I believe that with the family's influence, you will know who it is after I'm taken away."
Sang Zhuxian nodded and reached out to stroke Yu Ru's head again. She didn't ask any more questions, but looked at her with tears glistening in her eyes.
