Chapter 79 Search

Lin Zeyuan is gone.

Luo Tingwei lay on the bed, silently shedding tears.

She never expected Lin Zeyuan to say such a thing.

He was the one who kidnapped her here, but in the end, she seems like a huge trouble and a burden.

She wanted him to let him go, but he refused.

Suddenly, another man's face involuntarily appeared in my mind.

Luo Tingwei felt a lump in her throat; Li Yanzhou would never say such things to her.

But now everything is different.

Lin Zeyuan strode out impatiently. At this moment, the servant who had just interrupted him was still guarding the door. When he saw him coming, she immediately went to greet him.

"Young master, a few unfamiliar cars have come down the mountain. Their logos are covered, but they don't have many people with them."

"It seems... someone is spying on this place."

The maid spoke cautiously.

Upon hearing this, Lin Zeyuan said nonchalantly, "What's the panic? The secret passage leading up the mountain has long been sealed off. They can't sneak in even if they rack their brains."

Even so, after a moment's thought, the man still made the necessary arrangements.

"Have someone guard the mountain pass, but don't alert them. If anyone comes looking for us, lead them to Nanlin. Isn't that abandoned villa still there?"

"Yes, yes, young master is truly brilliant," the maid replied with a fawning expression.

As soon as the servant left, Lin Zeyuan's gaze turned cold, and a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes.

He turned around, looked at the bedroom with the door tightly closed behind him, and a smile appeared on his lips.

Luo Tingwei took the mop and bucket and struggled to clean.

Just as she finished cleaning up the spot where she had vomited, two maids burst into the bedroom and started trying to move her out.

Where are you taking me?

Luo Tingwei asked weakly.

One of the maids replied, "The young master said that you are in poor health and this room is not suitable for you to recuperate, so he found you a better room."

Before she could react, the two maids forcefully dragged her out.

Luo Tingwei was like a piece of meat on a chopping board, with no chance of resistance whatsoever.

Two maids led her around in circles until they reached the top floor and opened the innermost iron door.

As soon as the door opened, she couldn't help but gasp.

The room was completely enclosed, with no windows, and surrounded by iron walls. It was clearly a cage designed to trap her there.

There was a bed in the room, which looked quite simple.

“This room is absolutely safe, Laurinda. I assure you that no one will take you away.”

Lin Zeyuan's voice suddenly came over.

Luo Tingwei turned around and saw him walking in with a smile.

That laughter, however, frightened her.

"Don't overthink it. Things have been unsettled outside lately. To prevent anything from happening to you, I have no choice but to hide you here for now."

Lin Zeyuan explained considerately.

"Let me go."

Luo Tingwei looked at him and suddenly blurted out this sentence.

Although she knew it was pointless to say those words, she said them anyway.

"Leave? You'll get caught as soon as you go out. I'm protecting you, Laurinda. Don't be ungrateful! Do you want to go back to that guy surnamed Li and get involved in some kind of incestuous relationship with him? Don't you find that disgusting?"

"This is incest. You should think this through. I'm trying to stop this from happening."

Lin Zeyuan spoke up, believing himself to be very righteous.

"Listen carefully, even if I don't get involved with him in orthopedics, I'm not interested in you."

Luo Tingwei sneered, disregarding everything else, and directly uttered harsh words.

"Lin Zeyuan, if you push me too far, I'll bang my head against a wall. Anyway, I have nothing left to live for in this world. Guess if I dare to die?"

Upon hearing that she had such a thought, a hint of panic flashed in Lin Zeyuan's eyes. He looked around nervously, checking if there was anything that could hurt her.

But all around were impenetrable walls.

If she really wants to crash, and he can't be by her side all the time, he really can't stop her.

"What nonsense are you spouting? You dare to die without my permission?"

Lin Zeyuan became somewhat agitated, pressing his hands on her shoulders. "Laurinda, I truly love you. Why are you being so resolute? Can't you even open your eyes and look at me?"

"Have you forgotten that the man surnamed Li is a bastard? He took your body, caused your family to be destroyed, forced you to get pregnant, and hid your relationship from him. I rescued you from him and treated your father well. Why won't you stay by my side?"

Lin Zeyuan roared, somewhat losing his composure.

Luo Tingwei thought he was crazy.

This was the first time Lin Zeyuan had ever struck her as so terrifying.

His mental state seemed abnormal; he appeared to be possessed.

Luo Tingwei suddenly felt that it wasn't worth dying for such a lunatic, so she changed her tune and her voice was no longer so cold, "Okay, okay, don't get agitated."

"I know you like me, I know."

Her mind raced, and she began to make excuses: "I'm in a special situation right now, and my emotions are a bit unstable. A lot of what I say is just said in anger, without thinking. Don't take it seriously."

Upon hearing her words, Lin Zeyuan's expression softened, though his voice remained hesitant.

"You won't kill yourself, will you?"

He looked at her earnestly, hoping to hear a positive answer from her.

No, it won't.

Luo Tingwei shook her head and sighed inwardly.

I never expected that the gentle and refined Lin Zeyuan of the past would turn into such a neurotic person.

Is it really because his obsession with her is so deep that it has become pathological?

Luo Tingwei dared not think any further.

"Young Master Li, we've even used drones, but we still haven't found the entrance to the mountain. That villa in Nanlin is just a decoy; we've fallen for his trick."

Inside the car, the man looked exhausted and was resting with his eyes closed, his eyes covered in dark circles from not sleeping all night.

"useless!"

Li Yanzhou opened his eyes, his gaze piercingly landing on his subordinate.

The air inside the carriage seemed to freeze instantly.

"Where are the satellite images?"

"Yes, here it is." The subordinate quickly handed over the tablet.

Li Yanzhou took it, tapped the screen lightly with his fingertips, and his eyes grew increasingly gloomy.

"This forest area is only a dozen kilometers in size. You've searched all night and still can't find an entrance?"

He chuckled softly, but the chuckle carried a chilling coldness.

"This Lin Zeyuan is quite capable."

At that moment, the screen monitoring the drone suddenly flickered.

In the video, behind an inconspicuous mountain wall, a ray of light seems to flash by.

The light wasn't a natural reflection, but rather like some kind of metal door being briefly opened.

"pause."

The man frowned and immediately gave a low command.

The image freezes.

It was a hillside covered with weeds, and if you didn't look closely, you couldn't tell anything was wrong.

"enlarge!"

As the camera zoomed in, the shadows behind the mountain wall indeed revealed a narrow crevice.

"So this is where it is."

Li Yanzhou raised his eyes, his thin lips moved slightly, and his voice was low with a cold laugh, "Kid, you really know how to hide."
