Chapter 1367 Yun Rui Enchen: Nothing was accomplished
"You are in the UK... You must stay calm and don't be impulsive." Song Yuanzhe's voice was tinged with fatigue. He had been advising Su Xingya on the phone for a long time!
"Hold steady?" Su Xingya's voice suddenly trembled. From last night till now, she had not eaten a single bite of food or slept a single minute. Her mind replayed all the clues over and over again, but she still could not find the key point to tear open a gap.
The image of Gu Yunqian and his sister suffering in the detention center haunted her like a nightmare. When she closed her eyes, she could see Gu Yunqian being pinned to the ground by several prisoners, his elbows rubbed by the rough concrete floor, blood seeping out and staining his prison uniform red.
Someone stepped on his finger, and he was in so much pain that sweat broke out on his forehead, but he gritted his teeth and refused to beg for mercy;
Gu Yunxi wanted to rush forward to protect his brother, but was pushed away and fell into the corner. The bruises on his knees were particularly glaring on his pale skin...
These scenes were so real, as if she had seen them with her own eyes, that her heart suddenly contracted and the pain made her almost unable to breathe.
"I can't hold it anymore." Su Xingya interrupted Song Yuanzhe, her voice filled with long-suppressed collapse, and tears fell without warning. "They're eating moldy bread in there, drinking water that tastes of rust, and running a high fever with no one to care! As their wife, I can only listen to you say 'hold it steady' on the phone. I can't even see them. What kind of thing is this?"
There was silence on the other end of the line for a few seconds. Song Yuanzhe's voice softened, but it still carried a hint of dissuasion: "Xingya, I know you're anxious, but the detention center's rules state that without a lawyer's permission, family members can't see their children at all. If you go now, not only will you not be able to see them, but you might also be caught by Shen Chengyu's people, which could in turn cause trouble for Yunqian."
"Trouble?" Su Xingya's voice suddenly rose, sounding particularly sharp in the empty conference room. "Letting them get bullied and tortured in here is the biggest trouble!" She took a deep breath and wiped away her tears with the back of her hand, but her tone was unquestionable and decisive: "You're a lawyer, you should help me solve the problem, not tell me what trouble is!"
Lin Junze stood aside, looking at Su Xingya's red eyes and tense back, his heart full of worry.
It was understandable that Su Xingya would collapse since all the burdens fell on her alone, but her out-of-control appearance was too different from her usual personality.
Lin Junze was still immersed in his own world when he turned around and felt a tingling on the back of his neck. He turned around and found that the person next to him had been staring at him for a long time!
The woman raised her eyebrows, and there was still a lingering cloud of sadness between her brows, but the questioning light in her eyes made Lin Junze dare not neglect it at all!
He didn't persuade her any further, but just nodded: "Boss Su, the car will be ready soon, I will go with you."
Su Xingya got the answer she wanted, grabbed her coat from the chair, and hurried out the door. As the car drove to the detention center, the rain got heavier, and the raindrops hit the car window, making a crackling sound that was very similar to Su Xingya's panicked heartbeat.
She leaned back in the passenger seat, staring blankly at the street scenes passing by outside the window. In fact, she couldn't remember how many times she had been to the detention center since arriving in the UK.
Every time, she would ask Lin Junze to park the car far away, and she would linger at the door for a long time, looking at the cold iron fence, imagining how Gu Yunqian was doing inside, but in the end she could only leave with disappointment.
But this time it was different. There was a voice in her heart telling her that if she didn't go, it might really be too late.
"Boss Su, you've been there five times before." Lin Junze looked at her pale face in the rearview mirror and spoke cautiously, "Each time we waited for an hour or two, and the detention center never gave in. This time... how about we think of another way?"
"There's no other way." Su Xingya interrupted him, her voice so hoarse that it was almost inaudible. "They've been locked up for so many days without visits or a verdict, just to torture us. We have to fight hard today! If I win, I'll take the person back intact. If I lose, you'll find a way to collect the bodies for the three of us..."
Lin Junze forgot to breathe after hearing these words. At that moment, he almost couldn't hold the steering wheel steadily!
The rain finally subsided as the car pulled up to the detention center's entrance. The cold iron fence gleamed coldly under the dim streetlights. A single light blazed in the security room at the entrance, like a cold eye, watching every visitor.
Su Xingya pushed open the car door and walked straight to the security room. Her high heels made a crisp sound on the flooded concrete floor, which seemed particularly abrupt in the quiet night, and also revealed a desperate momentum.
"Hello, I want to visit Gu Yunqian and Gu Yunxi." Su Xingya knocked on the window of the security room, her tone calm but with unquestionable strength.
She tried to make her voice sound calm, but her slightly trembling fingertips still revealed her nervousness.
The security guard looked her up and down, then said impatiently, "You again? Do you have permission to meet me? Without permission, I can't meet you."
Su Xingya had been here many times so he knew her and had a general idea of the situation. After completing the necessary procedures, he began to leisurely do other things.
"I'm Gu Yunqian's wife, Su Xingya." Su Xingya's voice didn't yield at all. She took out her passport, marriage certificate, and the lawyer's letter prepared by Song Yuanzhe from her bag and pushed them all in front of the security guard. "This is my ID. I'm not being unreasonable. I just want to confirm the situation of my husband and sister-in-law. They have been in there for almost a month. I have to see them."
"You can't just see someone whenever you want." The security guard's tone grew even more impatient, reaching out to push the ID back. "Rules are rules. No one can come without permission. You'd better leave quickly and don't delay our work here."
"What if I don't leave?" Su Xingya's eyes flashed with determination, and her hand held the document tightly to prevent him from pushing it back.
She took a step forward, her body almost pressed against the window, her voice low but with a piercing firmness: “I’ll wait here until you agree to let me see them.
"Just get this straight. This is a detention center, not a place for children to play house. I have to tell you again and again. I've said the same thing over and over again. I'm tired of you, and I am. Can you please let me go?"
The security guard said,
"You can't even find a lawyer, and all you have are some scraps of paper. Your husband will only be happy if he stays in jail with a wife like you!"
As the saying goes, desperate men try anything. Su Xingya actually needed a security guard's reminder to react to such a big mistake. She boarded the plane to the UK without hesitation just like she does now, and only saw the message sent to her by Lin Junze after getting off the plane!
"Xingya, where are you?"
"Don't rush to fly to England. If we have to go there, I should go there and you should stay in the country!"
"Yunshu is still a child. She can't handle this kind of situation alone in the country!"
Su Xingya had forgotten all this series of news at that time. Now, apart from her own impulsiveness, she was left with only exhaustion.
She couldn't win this battle after all...
