Chapter 188: Chapter 188: Proposal of Marriage
"Sulfuric acid!" Ouyang Xue’s complexion changed drastically at the sight of the liquid in the middle-aged woman’s basin.
If so much sulfuric acid were to splash onto her, she would not die but would surely suffer severe burns!
Ouyang Xue wanted to dodge, but she was simply too late to react and stood there, dumbfounded and blank.
Suddenly, she felt someone wrap an arm around her waist and then she was pulled into a broad chest.
Without a doubt, the person who had pulled her behind him was none other than Yang Yu.
With a swing of his hand, Yang Yu managed to block the sulfuric acid that was thrown at them with a powerful burst of wind, preventing it from going any further and causing it to spill onto the ground instead.
"Hiss—" The ground emitted green smoke, giving off a choking smell that was nauseating.
"How could this happen? How could this happen!" Seeing that she had failed to kill Ouyang Xue, the middle-aged woman became hysterical, "Husband, I couldn’t avenge you, it’s my fault, wuwu..."
The patrolling police nearby immediately ran over, subdued the middle-aged woman, and took her away.
A police officer approached with a look of concern, "Are you two alright?"
"Thank you, officer, we’re fine," said Yang Yu, "We appreciate your hard work."
"Glad to hear that," the officer said to them, "Since you’re both unharmed, please come with us to give a statement."
"Alright," Yang Yu nodded and then turned to the man in sunglasses, "Remember not to casually make calls for others next time. If I hadn’t blocked this sulfuric acid and instead pulled my lawyer out of the way, it would’ve been you getting a faceful of it."
"If we’d been too late to dodge and got hurt, you’d be an accomplice and end up in jail just the same."
The man in sunglasses turned pale with fear and nodded repeatedly, "Thank you, sir. I won’t dare do it again."
After reprimanding the man in sunglasses, Yang Yu then turned to the police, "Officer, we’re ready to go."
Once at the police station, Yang Yu quickly learned about the incident.
The middle-aged woman’s husband was accused of violating a woman, and Ouyang Xue was the plaintiff’s lawyer. Despite not having completely solid evidence, she managed to send the middle-aged woman’s husband to jail.
If that were all, the man could have been released in three to five years.
But he maintained his innocence all the way to prison, insisting he had been framed, and not long after being incarcerated, he left a suicide note and took his own life.
Even in death, he continued to proclaim his innocence.
Today marked one year since the man’s death, and his widow, who had been following Ouyang Xue for a year, set up this trap and waited for her to fall into it.
She did not expect to encounter Yang Yu, causing her plan to fall through.
After learning about this, Yang Yu could only shake his head and sigh, "A real rapist would never commit suicide, Lawyer Ouyang. You made a mistake in this case."
Ouyang Xue also expressed her regret, "After he committed suicide, I began to suspect that I might indeed have made an error. But at the time... I was too eager to win, and as a woman, I also wanted to seek justice for that poor girl."
"True justice is about dragging the real criminals into the light of day and bringing them before the law, not letting innocent people be scapegoats," Yang Yu said. "What you can do now is to take out the archives from back then, reorganize them, look for doubts, and overturn the verdict for them. Until this is complete, put all other matters on hold."
"Yes, Mr. Yang." Ouyang Xue nodded, walked up to the middle-aged woman, and bowed deeply. "I’m sorry, I was wrong. I promise you, I will find the culprit and clear your husband’s name."
Hearing Ouyang Xue’s words, the middle-aged woman immediately burst into loud weeping: "Wah——"
Ouyang Xue did not sue the middle-aged woman, so she was quickly released.
At the same time, Ouyang Xue transferred a large sum of money to her, as a sort of solace.
After completing these tasks, Ouyang Xue began to review all the evidence of last year’s case, as instructed by Yang Yu...
At Tianhai City Airport, only Luo Ziyi’s parents came to see her off.
Second Mrs. Luo, with tears on her face, looked at her daughter: "Ziyi, why are you so stubborn?"
In stark contrast to her mother’s reluctance to let go, Luo Ziyi appeared quite relaxed: "Mom, I just want to ask you one thing, are you really happy with Dad?"
Second Master Luo’s face immediately darkened with a snort: "Ziyi, what, you think your mom marrying me is a matter of being hard done by?"
"Whether or not she’s hard done by, I don’t know, as I’m not the worm in my mom’s belly," Luo Ziyi said with a smile. "I only know that you and Grandpa are almost the same, chauvinists, who never treated your wives as equal partners, just as accessories."
"You!" Second Master Luo was so angered that his eyes bulged and he almost slapped her.
But thinking about his daughter leaving for the Southern Ocean and not knowing when she would return, he held back: "Where in this world can you find so much love? Even if you meet the person you truly like, maybe you’ll get tired of them after a year or two."
"What’s the most stable relationship? Money! Power! Interests! I guarantee you, if you’re willing to marry Xia Qing, you’ll have the whole Xia Family under your thumb in the future."
"That’s your perspective, I don’t want to argue, and I can’t be bothered to," Luo Ziyi huffed. "All I know is that my mom hasn’t smiled for a long time, and I’ve forgotten when was the last time I saw her smile. I am capable myself, and I don’t want to become an accessory to a man, turning into what my mom has become."
Having said that, Luo Ziyi waved to her bodyguard, Ah Qin: "Let’s go, Ah Qin."
Luo Ziyi left briskly with her luggage, infuriating Second Master Luo: "This girl, her wings are really hard!"
"Let her be," Second Mrs. Luo said with a light smile. "As long as she’s happy, it doesn’t matter where she goes."
The plane took off, and looking down at the bustling Tianhai City, Luo Ziyi’s eyes were filled with determination: "Even if I go to the Southern Ocean, I, Luo Ziyi, can still make a splash. When I no longer need to rely on the Luo family, I will surely return! Yang Yu, you wait for me!"
"Achoo!" As Yang Yu was organizing the documents for Xinhai Building, he sneezed and felt quite annoyed, "Really, who is missing me again?"
The phone rang; it was a call from Shen Silin: "Yang Yu, you don’t have to work tonight, come with me to the Shen Family."
"Go to the Shen Family?" Yang Yu was somewhat surprised. "What for?"
"Today is that old witch’s birthday; after all, she is my grandfather’s wife, I have to make an appearance," Shen Silin said. "You’ve slept with me twice, using you as a shield isn’t too much, is it?"
"A shield?" Yang Yu frowned slightly. "What’s wrong? Are they forcing a marriage on you?"
"Pretty much," Shen Silin laughed. "Young Master Li has come to propose."
