Chapter 197: Chapter 197: Cheng Zhiwei Moves Quickly, Zhou Lin Follows Without Hesitation

Meng Qiancheng’s eyes flashed with murderous intent as he said in a voice audible only to the two of them, "Live as a cripple for the rest of your life, and Zhou Lin will feel guilty for the rest of his life, which is quite good."

"You..." Her gaze flicked towards Cheng Zhiwei, and she was about to speak when Meng Qiancheng swiftly covered her mouth, "If you dare to run your mouth, I’ll cut out your tongue before I send you back."

Fear slid through Seo Zhenzhen’s eyes, and she dared not utter half a word.

Meng Qiancheng stood up with a cold sneer, "Zhou Lin, haven’t you decided yet?"

"Exchange for Seo Zhenzhen." Zhou Lin glanced at his phone, his expression slightly relaxing.

Reinforcements were about to arrive, and even if Meng Qiancheng started the boat and fled immediately, it would be too late.

Therefore, he said the words "exchange for Seo Zhenzhen" with nonchalance.

Cheng Zhiwei closed her eyes briefly, her face turning a defeated shade of ashen, Zhou Lin acting this was expected, but she had still held onto that tiny bit of hope.

But when she actually heard it, she still felt an intense emptiness in her chest.

The salty, fishy smell of the sea was really unpleasant, and the wind was so strong, chilling to the bone.

A smile couldn’t help but appear on the pained face of Seo Zhenzhen, but she quickly suppressed it, her crying lingering, "Ah Lin."

"Zhou Lin, you really are inhumane." Meng Qiancheng cursed, then turned and half-forcibly embraced Cheng Zhiwei, "Weiwei, you’ve seen it, he chose Seo Zhenzhen. Only I will love and protect you for the rest of your life."

Cheng Zhiwei turned around woodenly, moving to walk away with his motion.

Just then, someone suddenly rushed out from beside Zhou Lin.

It was Lin Yu.

With a grief-stricken look, she said to Meng Qiancheng, "Qiancheng, let Zhiwei go, and I’ll go with you."

Zhou Lin’s face changed slightly, "Mom."

Lin Yu had insisted on following, and when Zhou Lin disagreed, she insisted, refusing to let him leave unless she accompanied him. Zhou Lin had no choice but to bring her, reminding her again and again to hide inside and not come out.

Yet she still came out.

Lin Yu said angrily, "You fool, Zhiwei is your wife."

And because he abandoned Cheng Zhiwei for Seo Zhenzhen, Lin Yu could not accept it.

Zhou Lin, with a headache, could only pacify her, "Zhenzhen has injured her leg, and Meng Qiancheng has even taken a knife to her. He won’t hurt Cheng Zhiwei."

"Shut up." Lin Yu had no interest in his explanation, "Initially, it was your father and I who wanted Zhiwei as our daughter-in-law; we caused her to end up like this. If you don’t save her, I will save her myself."

After speaking, she was about to walk over via the newly laid plank.

Zhou Lin’s face turned stern as he had someone pull her back.

On the other side, Meng Qiancheng was watching with great interest, "Let her come here.

If he brought Lin Yu to Zhou Chenyan, Zhou Chenyan would surely be very pleased.

Zhou Lin gripped Lin Yu’s arm tightly while sneering, "Meng Qiancheng, aren’t you asking for too much?"

Meng Qiancheng’s dagger still had red blood on it as he carelessly spun it around, "It depends on who is more important in your heart, your mother or Cheng Zhiwei."

"Qiancheng, it’s me you hate, not Zhiwei. Let her go, and I’m willing to go with you," Lin Yu said loudly, then gently comforted Cheng Zhiwei, "Zhiwei, don’t be afraid, Ah Lin will send you home."

Cheng Zhiwei shook her head, her heart sour as she spoke to stop her, "I’m willing to leave with him, please don’t come over."

Lin Yu managed a forced smile, "Meng Qiancheng, your father has hated me for so many years, surely he will be very happy if you bring me back."

Meng Qiancheng curled up the corners of his mouth, spinning his words maliciously in the wind, "All these years, he has been thinking about you every moment. I’d be very happy if you could go back to be with him."

"So, let Zhiwei go, and I’ll go with you. I also guarantee that you will have unimpeded access to your father’s side," Lin Yu offered her greatest promise.

As long as she could exchange herself for Cheng Zhiwei, she was willing to agree to anything.

Meng Qiancheng glanced at his watch and raised his voice, "You have three minutes. Come over by yourself, then I will let Weiwei go back."

The last sentence he uttered casually, and no one believed him.

But Lin Yu did believe, and she exploded into a fierce argument with Zhou Lin.

Cheng Zhiwei pursed her lips, the sea breeze tossing her hair about, and she leaned slightly forward, her features obscured by the strands of her hair.

She saw Lin Yu turn and climb up the boat plank.

Cheng Zhiwei walked to the edge of the boat, her expression tranquil yet hiding a determination no one else noticed; she spoke slowly, "Brother Qiancheng, let’s go."

Meng Qiancheng’s eyes were cold and ruthless as he watched Lin Yu, and he replied with extreme nonchalance, "Don’t rush, Weiwei, let’s take her with us."

Indeed, he had never planned to let her go.

Cheng Zhiwei fell silent for a few seconds, then raised her hand and took off her hearing aid, speaking faintly, "Brother Qiancheng, what did you say?"

Meng Qiancheng then turned around, "What’s wrong?"

Cheng Zhiwei frowned, visibly distressed as she stared at the hearing aid, "Brother Qiancheng, could you help me see if there’s something wrong with the hearing aid? I can’t hear you speak."

Meng Qiancheng looked at Lin Yu and saw that she had been pulled back by Zhou Lin, his lips twisted into a smirk, feeling somewhat bored, he stepped toward Cheng Zhiwei.

"Let me have a look." He examined the hearing aid carefully in his hands.

Cheng Zhiwei slowly lifted her head, her eyes shifting with complex emotions, all of which finally turned into guilt,

She closed her eyes and lunged to hug Meng Qiancheng around the waist.

Meng Qiancheng was taken aback for a moment, and his expression softened, "What is it? Weiwei?"

"I’m sorry." Cheng Zhiwei’s forehead rested against Meng Qiancheng’s chest as she whispered an apology.

Before Meng Qiancheng could react, a sudden force pulled him to the side, his face changed, and he tried to grab the railing, but because they were too close to the railing and it was so unexpected, his hand closed on empty air.

"Splash."

The sound of falling into the water erupted, and the spray flew up.

The calamity happened too quickly; all the sounds froze in an instant, then Zhou Lin’s heart-wrenching roar broke the silence, "Cheng Zhiwei."

Following that, another "splash" was heard.

The sea surged in from all directions. Cheng Zhiwei made no attempt to swim upwards, instead, she calmly watched the shimmering sea surface, sinking down with the waters.

It was over, just like that, and it wasn’t so bad.

She only hoped that, for the sake of her self-sacrifice, Zhou Lin would spare her sister.

The sensation of suffocation grew more and more intense, and her body felt heavier and heavier.

Far away, a blurry shadow swam towards her.

...

Cheng Zhiwei had pulled Meng Qiancheng into the sea. Although it was unexpected, Zhou Lin’s people reacted quickly, immediately following down the boat plank to rescue Seo Zhenzhen.

Just as Seo Zhenzhen was seated in the wheelchair, Lin Yu grabbed her hair and slapped her fiercely, "If anything happens to Ah Lin and Zhiwei, I will make you pay with your life."

Seo Zhenzhen’s head was knocked askew by the slap, yet she showed no reaction, staring blankly at the sea surface, her heart racing so fast it almost leaped out of her chest.

Cheng Zhiwei jumped quickly, and Zhou Lin followed without a moment’s hesitation.

Since when did he develop such a self-sacrificing emotion towards Cheng Zhiwei?
