After Becoming Widowed, I Inherited a Billion-Dollar Fortune

To protect her billion-dollar fortune, the newly widowed Su Jin is forced to get married again.

After the wedding, the two agreed not to interfere with each other and not to affect each other...

Chapter 38 I'm here, don't be afraid

Zheng Lin kept his eyes fixed ahead and couldn't help but speed up the car.

Su Jin was unaware that someone had come to rescue her; she was still thinking about how to escape.

Instead of waiting for someone to rescue you, it's better to find a way to protect yourself.

If she dies again this time, she may not be able to be reborn. God gave her one chance to be reborn, but there may not be a second time.

Although the surroundings were dark, she could still sense that she was in a very large house, and there was a strong musty smell in the house, probably because no one had lived there for a long time.

She boldly guessed that the place was a remote house that had been uninhabited for many years.

The masked man hasn't appeared since he went upstairs; he must have gone to sleep.

Real ruthless bandits never let anyone out of their sight; this masked man was clearly a novice.

Now, if you find a pair of scissors or something sharp, you can cut the rope and escape.

If she moved the chair little by little, the chair legs would make a sound as they scraped against the ground. Su Jin was confused, but saving herself was a race against time.

Suddenly, her eyes lit up. She could only take a gamble, betting that the masked man was sleeping like a log and that he would be slow to come downstairs.

She knew clearly that there was a table in front of her with a glass on which the masked man drank water. If she knocked over the glass, the shards would cut the rope.

She carried the chair slowly to the table, rubbing her face against the glass, when suddenly, with a "bang," the glass shattered on the floor.

She couldn't care less about anything else; her forehead was covered in sweat, and in her panic, her bound hands could only grab at a random piece of debris.

As soon as she touched the shard, her palm was cut and bled. She seemed to forget the pain, gripping the shard tightly and cutting the rope with her backhand.

At this moment, the masked man in the room was already putting on his shoes. He hadn't slept either. Because the lights were off, he wasn't going downstairs quickly. He was slowly and cautiously making his way down, holding onto the wall and handrail.

Su Jin had already untied the ropes. Hearing the man's footsteps getting closer, she knew it was impossible for her to escape the house. She could only grab the chair she had just used and wait for the masked man to get closer.

One step, two steps, three steps...

By the moonlight, she could vaguely see the masked man approaching.

"You son of a bitch..." The masked man reached out to grab her.

Su Jin slammed the chair into his back, and she almost heard the sound of his spine breaking.

The masked man was immediately unable to straighten up, his back hunched over, and he lay on the ground, howling in pain.

Seeing this, Su Jin didn't hesitate for a moment and ran out the door.

The surrounding area was overgrown with weeds, confirming that it was indeed located in a remote mountain valley.

She ran a kilometer in one go, until her shoes fell off, then she picked them up and put them back on.

Then, a car suddenly appeared in a place where there had been no one.

Could they be accomplices?

Su Jin turned to run again, but the car chased after her relentlessly.

She lamented: "Bad luck. I escaped, but my accomplices still managed to catch me."

After running a hundred or two meters, she seemed to hear someone shouting from the car: "Su Jin! Don't run!"

If I don't run, will you come and catch me and kill me?

Hearing this, Su Jin ran even faster. Fortunately, she often went for night runs, so running five kilometers was no problem for her.

I don't know what the car behind was thinking, but suddenly they stopped chasing and started chasing on foot instead.

The man had long legs and ran very fast, grabbing her shoulder in an instant.

She was startled and reached out to step on his shoes, but then she heard him say, "Don't run away, it's me, Zheng Lin."

Su Jin stopped stepping down, withdrew her foot, and turned to look.

Under the moonlight, the man's handsome face was shrouded in shadow, but his features were still faintly discernible; this man was Zheng Lin.

Before she could speak, she was pulled into a firm embrace.

Zheng Lin: "I'm here, don't be afraid."

Assistant Gao also arrived late, panting, "Why are you running? We're here to rescue you. It's pitch black, and the boss doesn't dare to keep chasing you in his car. He's worried you'll get hit."

"Who kidnapped you? Where is that person?" Assistant Gao looked around, clenching his fists in preparation. "Is he nearby?"

“He’s the one I hit. He’s up ahead. I’ve been running for a long time. Let’s call the police first, and I’ll take you back to catch him.” Su Jin pointed to the direction she had come from.

It was already surprising enough that Su Jin managed to escape on her own, but now that she learned the kidnapper was injured, Assistant Gao's eyes were filled with admiration when she looked at Su Jin.

However, when they went back to catch the kidnappers, Assistant Gao was terrified.

Assistant Gao: "Why don't we wait for the police to arrive?"

"They'll run away by the time the police arrive." Zheng Lin thought the same thing as Su Jin.

So the three of them drove back to the big house where Su Jin had just escaped.

When I entered the room, the masked man was lying on the ground groaning.

Zheng Lin found the light switch and turned on the light.

He approached the masked man and used the rope on the ground to tie him up.

The masked man's mask was removed again.

It was Liu Man's face that appeared.

"It really is you." Zheng Lin was not surprised. He threw the mask on the ground and stomped on it.

Despite being bound hand and foot, Liu Man remained defiant: "You've ruined my family so badly. Overnight, I went from being a young master of the Liu family to a destitute man, all because of you!"

“If you haven’t done anything wrong, how could you go bankrupt overnight? Your Liu Group has many problems, and bankruptcy was only a matter of time. I’m just handing over the Liu Group’s assets to the relevant departments.” Zheng Lin looked down at him and said, “None of them are slanders against your Liu Group.”

Liu Man naturally wouldn't think his family was wrong. He was born into wealth and privilege, and couldn't tolerate anyone saying a bad word about him or his family.

When Liu Man was born, a fortune teller said he was destined to be a king, a fact his mother told him personally.

So, these ants dare to oppose him?

Zheng Lin opened the box, which was full of stacks of money, and threw it in front of Liu Man: "You want money to help your family make a comeback. But you've completely gone down the wrong path. Your mistake was kidnapping my wife."

Su Jin looked at the box full of money. She had seen many similar boxes on the bus; they were all filled with money.

It turns out that Zheng Lin really did come to save her.

I felt a little touched.

He saved me time and time again; who wouldn't be moved or confused?

"You two, you really... teamed up to lie to me." Liu Man sniffed. "Could you please take me to the hospital first? I think I'm going to be paralyzed. You guys were really ruthless. My bones are broken. If I'm paralyzed, I'm finished."

"Whether or not I take you to the hospital... that's not my decision." Zheng Lin glanced at Su Jin and asked her, "Do you think we should take you?"

Liu Man raised his head and stared at Su Jin.

Su Jin was by no means a soft-hearted woman. She would never send the kidnappers to the hospital; she would wholeheartedly agree to send them to the afterlife.

She's already died once, so why expect her to save all living beings?
