Chapter 174: Chapter 174: Bai Zhuzhu’s Car Accident

"Cheng Zhiwei."

"Go to sleep." Cheng Zhiwei spoke and shut Zhou Lin’s words down.

Cheng Zhiwei didn’t take Zhou Lin’s words to heart and got up early the next day as usual, first visiting Lin Yu and Zhou Chenyuan in the hospital, then heading to the studio.

Work was busy yet fulfilling, which Cheng Zhiwei liked very much.

The teaser, with the final score done by He Ye, was approved and launched online after passing through review.

The plot was already brilliant, and with the OST perfectly blending with it, the teaser immediately caused a huge sensation once posted online.

At the same time, the four words of Ling Yue Xianji re-entered the public eye, and He Ye’s studio maintained its popularity along with the increased fame of its several popular figures, propelling the studio’s renown to a new level with this wave of promotion.

He Ye, sweeping his hand grandly, declared at high noon, "I’m hosting a meal for everyone, and then we’ll have a week off starting tomorrow."

Cheers instantly filled the conference room, as everyone gathered their belongings to prepare to leave work.

Since she had a driver and didn’t want to attract attention, Cheng Zhiwei always lingered till the end before leaving, and today was no exception. But just as she approached the curb, suddenly someone rushed over and knelt before her.

"Cheng Zhiwei, I beg you to let me go."

It was the missing Bai Zhuzhu from yesterday.

Kneeling in front of Cheng Zhiwei, she let her tears fall and pleaded bitterly, "Cheng Zhiwei, can you give me a chance to start anew? I really need time to take care of my sister."

Her voice was loud and accompanying her kneeling quickly attracted the attention of passersby.

Cheng Zhiwei stepped aside and frowned, "What are you doing?"

Bai Zhuzhu crawled a few steps, clinging to Cheng Zhiwei and refusing to let go, "My sister and I are already pitiful enough, why won’t you let us go?"

As she spoke, she stood up, her crying face instantly twisted into a fierce scowl, her voice sharp, "Cheng Zhiwei, are you satisfied only if you drive us sisters to our deaths?"

Cheng Zhiwei tried to leave, but Bai Zhuzhu grabbed her hand.

Cheng Zhiwei immediately shouted angrily, "Let go!"

But Bai Zhuzhu, like crazy, clung tightly to her, and the two started to struggle by the roadside.

Bai Zhuzhu spoke sinisterly, "Cheng Zhiwei, you’ve ruined me, and I won’t let you have peace either."

As she spoke, she pulled Cheng Zhiwei toward the roadside; the motive seemed to be to perish together.

Cheng Zhiwei naturally refused, and in the midst of the scuffle, Bai Zhuzhu suddenly screamed. Cheng Zhiwei, face changing, tried to pull her back, but was a step too late.

A loud screech of brakes and a ’bang’ of collision sounded almost simultaneously.

Cheng Zhiwei froze for a moment, then seeing the blood flowing from beneath Bai Zhuzhu, suddenly snapped out of it and ran over, her face pale, "Bai Zhuzhu... I’ll call 120..."

Bai Zhuzhu lay on the ground, blood spreading quickly from beneath her, her eyes blankly staring at the gray sky, coughing up blood in great heaves.

"Wasn’t it just..."

"Zhuzhu." Seo Zhenzhen’s heartbreaking voice rang out as she flung herself from her wheelchair onto Bai Zhuzhu, frantically shouting, "Zhuzhu, what happened, don’t scare your sister!"

Bai Zhuzhu’s lifeless eyes struggled to shift to Seo Zhenzhen’s face, her complexion turning grayer from the blood loss, her lips trembling. The hate dissipated along with her fading life.

"You lied to me..."

"You... my... life."

"I... hate..."

Without the strength to finish her sentence, her hand went limp.

But those eyes were still wide open.

"Zhuzhu." Seo Zhenzhen burst out with a sharp cry, clutching Bai Zhuzhu’s body tightly, "Zhuzhu, don’t scare me, big sister is here, big sister came to find you, don’t scare me, please..."

Cheng Zhiwei’s throat felt dry, although Bai Zhuzhu had done many bad things, her sudden death was something Cheng Zhiwei had difficulty accepting.

"Seo Zhenzhen..."

"Cheng Zhiwei, are you satisfied now?" Seo Zhenzhen suddenly turned her head to stare at Cheng Zhiwei, her voice filled with manifest hatred as she yelled until it broke, "You killed my sister."

She couldn’t move her legs, and she sat on the ground because she was holding Bai Zhuzhu, her white woolen coat stained with fresh blood.

It was extremely horrific.

Cheng Zhiwei’s face turned pale, she didn’t know what to do, she could only stare blankly until the ambulance arrived, amidst the chaos, she was pushed back several steps, watching as Bai Zhuzhu was placed on the stretcher.

The pointing and whispering of the people around her cut through Cheng Zhiwei’s nerves like knives.

It seemed like there were countless voices calling her, but her vision was blurred, unable to see clearly who was calling her.

Until, the blurry lights faded away.

She saw He Ye’s anxious face, "Zhiwei, Cheng Zhiwei..."

"Senior." Cheng Zhiwei looked up blankly at He Ye, her ears buzzing, "How could she, I didn’t push her."

He Ye felt heartache, wrapped his arms around her shoulders and hugged her, "I know, it’s okay, calm down, let’s go to the hospital first."

As he spoke, suddenly a hand reached over and harshly yanked Cheng Zhiwei away from He Ye’s embrace.

Cheng Zhiwei stumbled, and steadied herself to see Zhou Lin’s grim expression.

He Ye stretched his hand out but finally pulled it back, his neat brows furrowed, "Bai Zhuzhu met with a car accident, she’s been taken to the hospital."

Zhou Lin said nothing, but dragged Cheng Zhiwei into the car.

In the car, the atmosphere stagnated.

Zhou Lin sat rigidly, his fingers resting on his knees, his indifferent face mixed with a thin layer of ice, chilling to the bone.

Clearly, he was angry.

He had come here upon hearing that Bai Zhuzhu was around, not expecting to return to see Cheng Zhiwei in He Ye’s arms, which sparked his fury all at once.

She rejected him so decisively and turned to be close with another man, did he mean nothing to her?

Upon arriving at the hospital entrance, even before the car fully stopped, Secretary Zhang took a call, glanced unconsciously at Cheng Zhiwei, and then said softly, "Miss Bai is dead."

Cheng Zhiwei’s mind went blank for a moment.

She was dragged out of the car by Zhou Lin, nearly falling several times, but Zhou Lin didn’t notice, his grip on her wrist painfully tight.

In the emergency room, Seo Zhenzhen’s cries were particularly desolate, "Zhuzhu, look at your sister, don’t leave your sister."

Cheng Zhiwei was dragged by Zhou Lin as if forcibly, to apologize to Bai Zhuzhu.

When they reached the bedside, Zhou Lin finally let her go, moved over and placed his hand on Seo Zhenzhen’s shoulder, his voice hoarse, "Zhenzhen."

Cheng Zhiwei’s feet were rooted to the floor, Bai Zhuzhu’s body covered with a white cloth, she was already dead.

"Ah Lin." Seo Zhenzhen threw herself into Zhou Lin’s arms, crying breathlessly, heart-wrenchingly, "Zhuzhu is dead, my only sister, she’s dead."

Zhou Lin held Seo Zhenzhen’s shoulders, soothing her softly, "I know, I’m here."

"It was Cheng Zhiwei, Cheng Zhiwei pushed her." Seo Zhenzhen cried accusatorily, clutching at Zhou Lin’s clothes, "Cheng Zhiwei killed my sister."
