Chapter 14: Life Comes Above Everything
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Yu Yao knew that there were perverts in this world. They were passionate about challenging the bottom line of the law, and they liked to record their crimes for private collections or just to relive them repeatedly.
Among them, the majority were animals that violated women. Clearly, the director of the mental hospital was one of them.
Yu Yao carefully recalled the plot in the novel she had read in her previous life, as well as the condition of her body when she woke up in this life. She was sure that other than being beaten and drugged, she had not suffered any more serious assaults.
Probably because Yu Wan and the director of the mental hospital wanted to completely destroy Yu Yao’s spirit, they hadn’t been intending to hurt her while she was unconscious. Instead, they wanted her to experience the process of being tortured whilst fully awake.
However, Yu Yao couldn’t be 100% sure that the photos and videos wouldn’t harm her own reputation.
This was because the photos could have been taken while she was unconscious. The videos could also be used as a weapon, and through editing and other manipulation methods, they could ruin her reputation.
Once the photos and videos really leaked, Yu Yao was certain that her studies, work, and life would be greatly affected. And the Yu family, which was currently in the midst of a massive scandal, would also suffer huge negative public backlash.
Yu Yao understood all the advantages and disadvantages, but her mind was already made up from the start, so she didn’t waver for even a moment.
The most important thing now was the Yu family’s attitude and stance.
Yu Yao didn’t say anything. She glanced at Yu Lang and Yu Jue, hoping to find some clues in their faces.
Yu Jue was obviously conflicted. He picked up the documents one by one, his hands trembling slightly. Yu Yao noticed that his eyes were even a little red.
Yu Jue suppressed his anger and said to Yu Lang, “Big Brother, we swore an oath together that night.”
Yu Lang’s expression flickered.
Fate had already given them too many gifts. In their past lives, they had lived the rest of their lives in regret. Even in death, they had wanted to return to the past to make up for the mistakes they had made and compensate their sister.
Fate had generously allowed them to fulfill their wishes. On the night they awakened with memories from their previous lives, the three brothers had set a common goal. They would do their best to make Yu Yao happy in this life.
Thus, apart from Yu Heng, whose movements were restricted, Yu Lang and Yu Jue had abandoned their work that night and rushed to the mental hospital to pick up Yu Yao, who had been put there by them.
Yu Lang thought to himself,?Yes, we swore that we would never let Yu Yao get hurt again.
So he could only make a choice that went against his conscience but could protect his own sister.
Yu Lang rubbed his temples tiredly and said to Yu Yao, “Yaoyao, you don’t have to worry. Big Brother will settle this matter properly. I won’t let those disgusting animals hurt you.”
Yu Yao was in disbelief. She looked at Yu Lang suspiciously. “You mean, in order to protect my reputation, you’re prepared to accept the threat of that perverted director?”
Yu Lang nodded. “This is only temporary. I need to calm him down first. Then, I’ll conduct a detailed investigation. When I get the photos and videos he mentioned, I’ll make sure that he doesn’t have anything that can be used against you. Then, I’ll make him accept his punishment.”
Yu Yao didn’t know if these were his true thoughts or just his excuse to cover up for a criminal, but she thought that if she were the real Yu Yao, she would definitely be happy for the protection.
After a moment of silence, Yu Yao looked at Yu Lang and Yu Jue even more piercingly. “What if I say that I don’t care about those photos and videos at all?”
Yu Yao lowered her head and looked at the photo in her hand. The boy who had died on the operating table might have been a mentally ill person without normal cognition, but he was still a living human being back then.
And life could not be measured by any value.
“When I woke up at the mental hospital that day, I saw a girl being violated. I hit the director and wanted to take the girl away, but she was like a two or three-year-old child who only knew how to cry and throw tantrums. She didn’t know anything, only how to yell, ‘Mommy, it hurts…\'”
Yu Yao said slowly, “I don’t know if those who have lost their lives are like that girl. When they lay on that operating table, maybe they only cried and called for their mothers. Perhaps they didn’t understand what they experienced even when they died, but my own reputation shouldn’t be factored into this. My sufferings cannot compare with the lives of those innocent people.”
At this moment, Yu Lang could see a certain firm and noble quality in his younger sister. He had expected that this was indeed the decision she would make.
After a long period of silence, he let out a long sigh and gently said to Yu Yao, “I understand your attitude. I will do my best to reduce the damage this matter has done to you. I also hope that you’ll remember that no matter what happens in the future, Big Brother will always stand behind you. So, don’t be afraid, okay?”
Yu Yao smiled at Yu Lang.. She thought to herself that regardless of whether Yu Lang was being sincere or not, he had at least made a satisfactory decision.
