I didn't hide, I didn't want to hide, I also wanted to punish myself. But for some reason, my hands didn't follow my thoughts and subconsciously protected my stomach.

The back of my hand was smashed by a teacup, and the pain was immediate, but this pain, compared to the pain in my heart, was negligible.

Hearing Uncle Lou Shaotang's words, Shen Yiru's excited emotions were slightly suppressed, but he was still very angry. Liu Sao who was at the side saw the situation and advised: "That's right First Lady, First Uncle is right, everything is not as important as Eldest Young Master's matter."

When I heard this from Lou Shaotang, I was extremely shocked. I knew that the Old Master had always been preparing to set the Regional Bureau on fire and did not want anyone to light the lanterns, but I never thought that he would be so unreasonable.

Two people who made the same mistake, but the result was completely different.

Miss Tang had traveled to a foreign land, and would only be able to return to its roots after the leaves have fallen. Yet Lou Zigui continued to be carefree and carefree, winning the song every night.

Originally, I didn't have much sympathy for Miss Tang, but because of this matter, I acted on her behalf and cried out for her injustice.

After I unhappily accused the old man and the Lou Family of being despotic, Lou Shaotang chuckled disapprovingly, hugged me, and comforted me by patting my shoulders. He said one sentence: "This is the world of the strong, the only thing you need to do is to become stronger, and then, become stronger."

When I heard that, my heart shook and I stared at him.

His eyes were gentle and his entire person was warm, but I could still feel the uncontainable power and domineering aura within him.

I finally understood that he was as strong as he was today because he had always held on to this creed and had always followed it.

Yes, that's right. We are at a disadvantage, we are beaten, we are treated unfairly. In fact, we can't blame others, we can only blame ourselves for not being strong enough.

His words reminded me of something I'd read in a book in college, to the effect that when you were a little grass, anyone could step on you, but when you grew into a tree, those who kicked you had to be careful of their own feet.

Lou Shaotang was following the law of the jungle, Di Jin was also following it, and they had already won by this law, they were already standing at the top of the food chain, able to summon the winds and rain to this world.

"Eldest Young Lady." Floating Cloud's thoughts were forcefully pulled back to him by Liu Sao's call.

I looked at Liu Sao and she looked at me with a troubled expression. She did not dare to disobey Shen Yiru's orders, and from her eyes, I could tell that she was very disappointed with me.

How could she not be angry?

Lou Shaotang treated me like a queen's pet, she had praised me good fortune countless of times before, and also admired Lou Shaotang and I were extremely loving to each other, making us the happiest husband and wife she had ever seen.

But now, I had done something that let Lou Shaotang down. I put on such a big green hat on his head, and even caused him to suffer a fatal disaster.

Moreover, she treated Lou Shaotang as half a son, so I think that the anger in her heart should be no less than Shen Yiru's. It's just that she's a servant, so she can't flare up like Shen Yiru. She can only scold me with her eyes.

"Don't call her that in the future! Lou Family doesn't have a Eldest Young Lady! " Shen Yiru rebuked.

Liu Sao was frightened, she swallowed her saliva, and was at a loss as to how to continue.

I knew what she was going to say to get me upstairs to my room.

I take a deep breath, but I can't help it.

"I'll go up myself."

I said, and slowly walked up the stairs while holding my iron-like legs, just as I was about to go up the stairs, Shen Yiru's excited voice sounded from behind me.

"Dad, have you seen Shao Tang? How is he? "

I stopped and turned around.

He saw that the old man had already been supported by the butler into the living room. Shen Yiru walked towards him with a face full of anxiety.

The old man stood still and nodded, "I've seen it."

His face was grave, and his voice was thick and hoarse. I felt that the situation was grim, and my heart tightened.

"Is he all right?" He should be worried that Lou Shaotang would suffer from the pain inside the cave, so much that tears would flow out of Shen Yiru's eyes.

"Not bad, your looks are pretty good."

Shen Yiru didn't relax just because of the old man's report of safety, and continued to ask: "Then what did he say? Is there a way? "

The old man silently looked at her face that was filled with anticipation. The hand holding the walking stick was very strong, and the veins on his shriveled hand were bulging. He seemed to be enduring some kind of unbearable emotion.

After a moment he said in a trembling voice, "He told us not to do anything in vain."

Shen Yiru was startled for a moment, and immediately recovered, "What does he mean? What do you mean? "Huh?"

She, who had always been a calm and unflustered person, was now completely flustered.

I too, find it hard to believe that Lou Shaotang would say such negative words, and quickly walked in front of the old man, "Grandfather, Shao Tang really said that?"

The old man looked into my eyes, and his eyes started to fill with tears. The expression on his old face suddenly turned into one of pain as he nodded.

"It can't be, Shao Tang won't give up so easily, he definitely has another way!"

I don't believe it. Lou Shaotang's fighting spirit was especially strong. Even if the current situation was disadvantageous to him, he would still go all out to fight for the last second, so it was impossible for him to give up right after an accident occurred.

Besides, I have a feeling he was prepared for it, that the witness disappeared, and maybe he had other evidence.

"Then what do we do now, is Shao Tang really hopeless?" Seeing that the old man was crying, the hope in Shen Yiru's eyes vanished. In an instant, he was crying.

Even though I was also very terrified, I was still much calmer than Shen Yiru. I asked the old man, "Didn't my cousin and the others go to look for witnesses?

He shook his head helplessly and wiped his tears away with a handkerchief.

When Shen Yiru heard this, she completely collapsed and started to wail loudly, "No ~ Shao Tang ~ No, Shao Tang will definitely still be saved!" She turned her head and grabbed onto Uncle Lou Shaotang's hand as if he was grabbing at his lifeline. "Big Brother, quickly think of a way to save Shao Tang!"

Uncle Lou Shaotang's expression was also extremely dark, but he was relatively calm. He comforted Shen Yiru by patting his hands and took out his phone, walking to the side. It was unknown who he was going to call.

"First Lady, don't be sad, I believe that the young master has his own way. He will definitely be fine." Liu Sao, who was supporting Shen Yiru, consoled him while crying.

Their heartbroken cries shook my fragile heart, and tears unknowingly flowed out, but my will didn't collapse like them. I quickly wiped away my tears and calmly and firmly said to the old man, "Grandfather, I want to go see him!" I have to personally confirm if Lou Shaotang really gave up.

As he was immersed in grief, Shen Yiru had long since forgotten about me betraying Lou Shaotang. He did not react to my words and only cried.

The old man didn't object. He asked the butler to arrange a car for me to go to the detention center.

When we arrived at the detention center, Qin Lang, who knew that I was coming, was already waiting at the entrance. When he saw me, he immediately brought me to the luxurious VIP guest room.

Lou Shaotang was already sitting inside, on the same sofa as last time. The guard was there, too, the same cop from last time.

Lou Shaotang held onto a cigarette, and looked out the window with his head turned to the side, breathing out a white smoke ring.

"Hubby!" I walked quickly toward him.

Hearing my voice, Lou Shaotang turned his head, his cold lips curving into a smile, he extinguished the majority of the unburnt smoke into the bottle on the tea table, then raised his hand to wave the smoke in the air before standing up.

I threw my arms around him and buried my head in his hot neck. Before coming here, I'd told myself to control my emotions and not to cry, but now I couldn't help it.

Lou Shaotang hugged me back, he didn't say a word, and only caressed my back to comfort me.

But I didn't cry for long, and crying at this time didn't solve anything.

I raised my head and saw Lou Shaotang's warm fingers gently wiping away my tears.

Looking at his smiling eyes, I asked, "Hubby, grandpa said you …"

I still couldn't believe he was going to say something like that, and seeing how calm he was now, and how he didn't look at all like he did in a serious situation, I was all the more convinced of my conjecture.

"Yes." He interrupted me at once. "I did."

I stared at him in disbelief.

"Why? This isn't like you! " I shook my head, tears flowing again into my eyes. "Even if we don't have a witness now, we can look for other evidence. How can you give up so easily?!"

Lou Shaotang's expression did not change as he remained abnormally calm, "What cannot be found, there is no other evidence." He turned around and glanced at the police officer standing guard, "Those two witnesses are my only evidence." he said, turning his gaze back to my face.

"I don't believe it!" The last sliver of hope in my heart was completely destroyed by Lou Shaotang's words, but I was still unwilling to resign myself to fate, "If you didn't do it, then you must have evidence to prove your innocence!"

"No, really." Lou Shaotang's tone was very certain.

Tears welled up in my eyes, and I gripped his hand tightly, trembling uncontrollably.

His eyes were fixed on me, and his eyes were slightly red. "Wife, I know you can't accept this, but that's the truth. This time, I may not be able to get out. " There was a catch in his voice.

Unable to accept this, I growled at him, "What are you talking about? Stop talking nonsense!"

The strong Lou Shaotang, the powerful Lou Shaotang, the invincible Lou Shaotang, Lou Shaotang who had experienced so many storms and waves but was still safe and sound, how could he be defeated just like that?!

No!

Impossible!

I don't believe it!

"Lou Taitai, calm down!" Qin Lang, who was at the side, also had tears in his eyes as he walked up to me and advised.

I felt a tearing pain in my heart. I turned my head and looked at him with misty tears in my eyes. "How do you expect me to calm down? How do you teach me?"

Qin Lang did not reply. With a face filled with impatience, he turned his face away, and clenched his fists to suppress the wetness on his lower eyelids.

The atmosphere in the reception room was suddenly enveloped in a deep sadness.

"Wife, don't be sad." After a while, Lou Shaotang spoke out, his gaze subconsciously looking at the police officer who was guarding him, and said to me: "Even if I am unable to be by your side to take care of you in the future, you must still be alright, remember to eat on time and take care of yourself."

He smiled faintly, but his voice was filled with a sour taste. He had truly confirmed the result.

I stared at him, tears streaming down my face, my heart aching with numbness.

"Lou Shaotang, I won't let anything happen to you." I said, choking, word for word, solemnly, as if I were taking an oath.

Yes, just now, I made a decision.
