At night, Zhou Qian was debating whether to go find Lu Jing. At this moment, his cell phone suddenly rang.

She took a look and saw that it was Lin Chenyi who had sent her a friend request, with a message saying "About your father".

Zhou Qian thought about it and passed the verification.

Soon, Lin Chenyi sent a video of a few seconds. Zhou Qian clicked on the video and his pupils gradually widened.

The second message came in: If you want to save someone, come to the door.

Zhou Qian guessed that it might be Lin Chenyi's trick, but she still packed up her things and went to the door.

In the dark night, a car was parked under an ancient tree. From a distance, Lin Chenyi was seen sitting in the car smoking.

Zhou Qian walked over and asked, "Where is Zhou Zhicheng now?"

"Get in the car." Lin Chenyi threw the cigarette away and closed the car window.

Zhou Qian had no choice but to open the car door and get in.

The car drove onto the highway. There were very few vehicles on the highway at night, and the cars were like the gust of wind, which made Zhou Qian feel inexplicably irritated.

"It's a long way from here. You can take a nap if you're tired." Lin Chenyi's voice rang out in the quiet carriage.

Zhou Qian didn't say anything. After a while, she asked, "Who caught him?"

"It's not clear at this point."

The two didn't speak for the next few hours, during which time Lin Chenyi received several phone calls.

It was already early morning when the car arrived at a port in the next city.

Lin Chenyi got out of the car and talked to someone at the port. A few minutes later, he came back to help Zhou Qian open the car door.

"Come down."

Zhou Qian got out of the car and asked him, "Where are you going?"

"My people have heard that your father is on this cruise ship. If the ransom is not paid within three days, he will be thrown into the sea to feed the fish."

When Zhou Qian heard the word "ransom", his head felt like something collapsed and his heart seemed to be thrown into the bottom of the sea, sinking again and again.

From childhood to adulthood, she has heard these two words too many times, and each time it brought her nothing but numbness and fear.

She hadn't heard these two words for a long time and thought she would never hear them again, but when she heard them again, she was still frightened.

"Then there's no need to go. I don't have the money to redeem him." Zhou Qian said in a decisive tone without any emotion.

Lin Chenyi held her hand and said, "You still have me."

Zhou Qian didn't pull his hand back, but looked at him calmly and indifferently with those deep eyes. "Even if you pay to redeem him, I won't remember your kindness, let alone be with you."

Lin Chenyi brushed the hair by her ear and stroked her face with his fingers. "What's wrong with being with me? I won't force you, nor do I want you to do anything for me. Just be by my side."

"I won't be a mistress."

Lin Chenyi smiled, "I love you so much, how could I let you be my mistress?"

Zhou Qian pulled her hand away, not wanting to waste any more words with him, or rather, she had no choice at all.

If she was really cruel enough, she would have escaped from it ten years ago. She was destined to be trapped and die in this cage of their home.

Although, she swore this was the last time.

…

Because Zhou Qian didn't knock on the door last night, Lu Jing went to the classroom to look for her early in the morning, but the answer he got was that Zhou Qian had left with Lin Chenyi last night.

There was no expression on Lu Jing's face, but the chip-like object in his hand instantly broke into two pieces.

The other side.

Zhou Qian and Lin Chenyi have been on the cruise ship for two days, but still have not seen the person who captured Zhou Zhicheng.

When Zhou Qian returned to the room at night and looked at the room with a big bed, he felt even worse.

Because all the guest rooms on the cruise ship were fully booked, this room they had was temporarily arranged and had nothing in it except a big bed.

As a result, she had to sleep in the same bed with Lin Chenyi for the past two days. Of course, it was impossible for her to have anything happen with Lin Chenyi, so she asked the staff for two more pillows to put in between them.

"I must find a way to meet Mr. Chen tomorrow." Zhou Qian didn't want to waste a whole day in such a place.

Lin Chenyi comforted her, "Don't worry, I've already asked my connections to help arrange it. If nothing unexpected happens, we'll be able to see Uncle Zhou tomorrow."

Zhou Qian was silent for a moment, but decided to say the ugly words first.

"Lin Chenyi, think it through. Even if I agree to your terms, I just want to use you to save Zhou Zhicheng. There is no future between you and me."

Lin Chenyi did not show his anger, but reached out and held her hand, "Silly girl, what I want is you, not the result."

Zhou Qian couldn't tell whether there was truth or falsehood in his eyes. He couldn't tell before, and he couldn't tell now. He just felt goosebumps all over his body.

I don’t know how she managed to hold back from vomiting when Lin Chenyi said such disgusting words before.

Of course, if someone is willing to be used, there is no reason for her not to take advantage of them.

"You said you would help me solve the problem at your family's wedding banquet. How do you solve it?"

"This whole thing was Lu Qianqian's doing. She first transferred the camera footage to her phone, and then deliberately destroyed the camera's memory."

"How do you know?" Zhou Qian knew there must be something wrong.

"I overheard what she said that day, and later secretly hired a hacker to break into her phone. I found the camera footage on her phone, so I copied it."

Zhou Qian was delighted, "Then forward it to me."

Lin Chenyi didn't move, but hugged her in his arms flatteringly, "I helped you so much, do you want to give me some reward?"

Zhou Qian's body stiffened slightly. She knew that Lin Chenyi had a purpose, but she didn't expect that he would not hide his true intentions at all.

"What reward do you want?"

Lin Chenyi looked at her with a passionate gaze, and suddenly leaned close to her ear, "Promise me one thing."

Zhou Qian frowned, resisting the urge to push him away, wondering what Lin Chenyi would ask for.

"What's the matter?" she asked.

"Stay with me tonight."
