Chapter 128: Keeping Your Loved One Safe [Edit]

Zhou Jibai had brought her to the hospital early this morning, and she hadn't gotten enough sleep. After everything settled down, she asked Zhou Jibai to take a nap with her.

Just when I woke up from my nap, I opened my eyes again and found that Zhou Jibai was gone!

Looking at the empty and large ward, Shi Huai's heart skipped a beat. He covered his chest with his palm, trying to relax and calm himself down.

The omen of uneasiness gradually grew in her heart.

Her body was still shaking uncontrollably, and she tremblingly took out her cell phone and called Zhou Jibai.

“Beep, beep, beep—”

The phone remains busy.

Shi Huai could only get out of bed and go out to look for Zhou Jibai like a headless fly.

But after looking for a long time, I didn't see the figure I was expecting.

Shi Huai felt like he was really going crazy!

Why couldn't I find Zhou Jibai at this very moment! Why couldn't I see Zhou Jibai at this most critical moment! I couldn't confirm if he was safe!

Shi Huai's tears kept rolling in her eyes, and the suppressed despair was about to swallow her up like an abyss.

The scene of Zhou Jibai's car accident in his previous life was vivid in his mind. The speeding car knocked him away from him. Zhou Jibai's tall and slender figure drew a parabola in the sky like a meteor.

Flesh, blood, and bones fell heavily on the asphalt road, and blood flowed like a river, soaking Zhou Jibai's whole body.

That scene was imprinted in Shi Huai's brain like a red-hot iron, and he would never forget it in his lifetime.

Nightmares haunted her night after night, for generations to come.

Shi Huai always believed at the beginning that he was living in this life to atone for his sins.

Rebirth is atonement.

The moment life starts to move again, one's own sins begin to come upon him.

But Zhou Jibai always used his actions to tell himself that Shi Huai was Shi Huai.

As long as Shi Huai has a clear conscience, he can do whatever he wants.

He allowed himself to be spoiled, with only himself in his mind and eyes.

He accepts all of his tempers, whether good or bad.

The moment he officially woke up on the day of his rebirth, Shi Huai looked into Zhou Jibai's eyes.

She peeked clearly into those eyes, as amber as the morning sun, and they were filled with deep love for her.

Zhou Jibai's eyes were filled with Shi Huai.

What should she do if she can't protect Zhou Jibai in this life?

What if I make the same mistake again in this life?!

She wanted Zhou Jibai to appear before her now! Immediately! Immediately!

In this life, all her emotional deprivation and insecurity come from her loved ones.

Keeping her loved ones safe is her only obsession.

She will only feel safe when she sees Zhou Jibai is safe and sound.

It doesn't matter if she acts like a paranoid lunatic, she just needs to make sure Zhou Jibai is safe.

Finally, after making the 25th call, Zhou Jibai's phone was finally answered.

Without waiting any longer, Shi Huai spoke directly to the phone, trembling and crying, "Where are you?"

"Where are you!"

Hearing Shi Huai's choked voice, Zhou Jibai was slightly stunned, and his breathing couldn't help but stagnate for a moment: "What's wrong?"

As soon as Shi Huai spoke, tears began to fall, and he cried out in a sobbing voice: "Where are you! I want to see you!"

Zhou Jibai hurriedly explained in a comforting voice, "My phone fell into the water. I'm outside the hospital now. I just got it fixed."

"I'll come find you." Shi Huai wiped away his tears.

"No, I'm going back."

She was pregnant with a big belly, so how could Zhou Jibai bear to let her run around?

"No!" Shi Huai said to him in a tone that brooked no argument, "I'm going to find you, and you must stay where you are and wait for me obediently!"

Listening to Shi Huai's anxious tone and crying voice, Zhou Jibai frowned slightly, and his heart seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible big hand.

"Be good and wait for me to come back."

Shi Huai didn't listen at all. She hung up the phone and went to find Zhou Jibai.

Zhou Jibai let out a long breath, glanced at the screen of his mobile phone which had turned off, then put the phone in his pocket and went out to find Shi Huai.

Shi Huai came to find him with a big belly. How could Zhou Jibai just wait there indifferently?

She was still crying and was in a very bad mood. Shi Huai needed her, and he had to appear by Shi Huai's side as soon as possible.

…

Shi Huai walked out of the hospital and looked around for a mobile phone store. Her emotions were beginning to become unstable.

Her eyes and nose were red from crying. She wiped her tears as she walked and complained, "Why do you need an assistant? Why do you have to fix your phone by yourself? Aren't you the president? Why don't you just ask someone to bring a new phone? Why do you have to fix it yourself?"

As a result, when people arrived at the mobile phone store Zhou Jibai mentioned, they opened the door and found that no one was there.

Shi Huai looked around but didn't see any familiar figure, and he became even more devastated.

The weather is getting hotter now. It is already very hot in Jinling as May approaches. Shi Huai feels like there is a fire burning in his heart for some unknown reason.

"Why is it so worrying?"

Shi Huai now has difficulty just walking. Walking with a bulging belly for a long time causes discomfort in his spine.

I didn't want to leave at first and planned to sit in the store and rest for a while and wait for Zhou Jibai to come over.

Otherwise, if the two of them keep going around in circles looking for each other, how long will it take them to find each other?

When he looked up, before he even sat down, he saw a familiar figure appear not far away outside the glass window.

The colorful shirt made Shi Huai frown! It was Qiu Zehang!

Qiu Zehang's face was covered with wounds, and he was talking to a man with his head down. The two men were walking unsteadily, with unnatural blushes on their cheeks, and they looked like they were drunk.

Shi Huai couldn't help but hold his breath. In his previous life, Qiu Zehang was drunk and sent Zhou Jibai flying away from him.

The feeling of uneasiness spread to his heart again. Shi Huai did not hesitate for a moment and immediately walked out the door to follow him to see what was going on and what Qiu Zehang was trying to do.

As soon as she walked out of the door, before Shi Huai had time to look up to find Qiu Zehang's figure, her slender arm was suddenly grabbed by a strong force.

Shi Huai looked up in a daze, and what she saw was Qiu Zehang's face, which was red from the smell of alcohol. Her heart skipped a beat, and her eyes flickered as she met Qiu Zehang's malicious gaze.

"Sister-in-law, where are you going?"

Shi Huai bit her lip, her delicate brows knitted tightly, "Let me go!"

Listening to Shi Huai's angry and coquettish words, Qiu Zehang couldn't help but sigh, "Don't be so ruthless. A few days ago, Tuesday, you found a bunch of people to beat me up. Shouldn't you pay a corresponding price?"

The strong smell of alcohol on his breath made Shi Huai feel dizzy and nauseous, but she suppressed her emotions and said coldly, "Zhou Jibai is not far away! If you dare to harass me again, I will make you pay for it."

Hearing the three words Zhou Jibai from Shi Huai's mouth, Qiu Zehang laughed out loud with disdain and sarcasm. Alcohol makes cowards bolder. After getting drunk, Qiu Zehang became crazy and his eyes were red with anger!

"I'm willing to give you alms and let you follow me because you're so handsome. You've been so ungrateful time and time again. You think you're so great just because you have the entire Zhou family backing you up, don't you?"

Facing Qiu Zehang's inexplicable criticism, Shi Huai put all her strength into shaking off his hand that was holding hers, "Is it an honor to be given alms by a dog?"

Qiu Zehang's pupils suddenly shrank. He didn't expect that Shi Huai would dare to disobey him like this!

A few days ago, Zhou Er was by her side, so she could tolerate her arrogance. Now that Zhou Er is not around, this ignorant bitch still dares to speak to her like this?

Qiu Zehang's eyes were red with anger. "Zhou Jibai, it's because of you, a little bitch, that I lost face in the circle. Do you think you saw me today by chance? You can choose your own way to die later!"

Shi Huai's heart skipped a beat. The person he saw in the hospital lobby this morning was Qiu Zehang! He had never expected that he would be waiting for him here with all his heart planned!

Shi Huai clenched his fists tightly, telling himself over and over again, I can't shed tears in front of this villain! Absolutely not!

She has to find a way to escape!

Qiu Zehang looked at Shi Huai's aggrieved expression with tears in his eyes, and a treacherous smile appeared on the corner of his lips: "If you serve me well, I can spare your life. But what about the child in your belly... Zhou Er's bastard, is it worthy of being born into this world?"

After Qiu Zehang finished scolding, Shi Huai came back to his senses and found that there were two more bodyguards around him.

Her pupils suddenly shrank, "What are you going to do?"

Qiu Zehang touched his chin and stepped closer to Shi Huai: "What should I do? Of course, I want to make you wish you were dead~"

"You're dreaming!"

Shi Huai wanted to escape, but found that the road ahead was blocked by two bodyguards.

Qiu Zehang laughed sinisterly, "To this day, I have never tasted a pregnant woman, sister-in-law, I will -"

Before he could finish his words, Qiu Zehang suddenly screamed!

Qiu Zehang's scalp hurts.

Shi Huai turned around upon hearing the voice, only to see Zhou Ji and Bai Jun's face was cold and dark, and his anger was like a dark and gloomy abyss, which made people shudder at the mere sight of him.

He grabbed Qiu Zehang's hair with one hand and pulled him over as if he were a dead object.

Qiu Zehang was forced to look into Zhou Jibai's sinister and cold eyes. His pupils constricted. "Fuck you, Zhou Jibai, let me go!"

"Okay." Zhou Jibai smiled and threw Qiu Zehang to the ground.

Without waiting for Qiu Zehang to react, Zhou Jibai raised his foot and stepped directly on his face, crushing him to the ground viciously.

The strong murderous aura was like an evil ghost crawling out of Yama's palace, making people afraid to approach easily.

Qiu Zehang could only wriggle and struggle on the ground: "Let me go! Zhou Jibai! Are you crazy?"

Zhou Jibai's tone was as cold as a thousand-year-old river: "Have you had enough of two days of comfort?"

"Or are you determined to go against me?"

Zhou Jibai's tone sounded calm, but it was enough to make Qiu Zehang tremble all over.

He was now extremely drunk. When he thought about how humiliating it was that he was being trampled on the ground by Zhou Jibai, he became furious and started biting like a mad dog.

"Who the hell do you think you are, Zhou Jibai, to treat me like this? I'm the only eldest son of the Qiu family! You have an older brother above you! The Zhou family's inheritance rights won't fall into your hands, so you'll always be inferior to me in this life!"

Zhou Jibai raised an eyebrow, narrowed his eyes, and revealed a look of contempt and sarcasm, not taking Qiu Zehang seriously at all. "In this world, only bastards would be so eager to prove their so-called inheritance rights to others."

"You—" Qiu Zehang was so angry that his face flushed. "Don't you see who's around here? I advise you to be smart! Let me go!"

Zhou Jibai chuckled: "Oh?"

"Yeah?"

Zhou Jibai slowly moved his foot away from Qiu Zehang's cheek and said lazily, "Come out."

The next moment, a large number of Zhou family bodyguards formed a circle around the place.

The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind it.

Shi Huai was stunned when he saw a group of bodyguards suddenly appear.

Even Qiu Zehang was stunned! He immediately cursed: "Fuck you Zhou Jibai! How dare you play such a dirty trick on me?"

Zhou Jibai didn't bother to look him in the eye. He opened his thin lips and uttered only two words: "Idiot."

The next moment, the bodyguards suppressed Qiu Zehang under Zhou Jibai's eyes! And the several bodyguards that Qiu Zehang brought with him.

Zhou Jibai walked to Shi Huai and held her in his arms: "Sorry, Zhizhi, I'm late."

"What's going on...?" Shi Huai was a little stunned.

Zhou Jibai's lips curled up into a helpless smile: "You always have trouble sleeping these nights, I think I have to do something."

Unexpectedly... Zhou Jibai understood everything. As long as she showed the slightest abnormality, he would immediately notice it and take precautions.

Shi Huai bit her lip and pointed at Qiu Zehang, who was already being restrained by the bodyguards, "Let him pay for what he has done!"

Qiu Zehang's face was gloomy: "You——"

He was about to speak when suddenly there was a crisp "slap" sound and the bodyguard slapped him hard in the face.

Qiu Zehang widened his eyes!

Just as I was about to continue cursing, I was slapped in the face again!

The Zhou family's bodyguards were professionally trained and more professional than the bodyguards of other wealthy families. Here, the Zhou family was king, and they didn't have to worry about offending anyone; they could just beat them up.

Zhou Jibai's eyes fell on Qiu Zehang, "Qiu Zehang, how long do you think you can keep the position of the young master of the Qiu family?"

Qiu Zehang clenched his fist.

"Tell me, will the old man of the Qiu family allow a disabled legitimate bloodline to inherit the Qiu family, or will he allow a healthy illegitimate child to take the throne?"

Qiu Zehang was completely panicked.

I sobered up instantly!

How could he forget that the Zhou brothers have a reputation in the circle!

The Jade-faced Twin Devils.

The eldest brother of the Zhou family is Bai, and he is the most perfect at superficial work. In the eyes of the world, he is the heir of the most calm and gentleman in the circle.

Tuesday is black. People with this sign have a dandy look and are full of youthful vigor. They are careless and unconcerned about everything they do. They are considered the boss in the eyes of second-generation rich.

In fact, both brothers are extremely vicious and ruthless behind the scenes.

Especially Zhou Jibai.

Zhou Jibai was a violent and unscrupulous man with no inhibitions. He was responsible for settling any difficult business issues.

In the eyes of the Zhou family, the heir is just a gimmick given by the world.

The Zhou brothers each have their own strengths, their own cruelty, and their own unknown secrets.
