Chapter 24 He Wants to Seize by Force

"Father, Mother, the property you promised me wouldn't have been transferred, would it? And all that's left is... some kind of machine?"

Song Yaoyao stared at the empty basement, and when she turned around to ask her parents, who were also staring wide-eyed, her voice trembled.

Ling's father seemed unable to believe his eyes, closing the basement door again and then opening it again.

After this happened several times, and the basement in front of him remained terrifyingly empty, he finally let out a terrified scream.

"Aaaaaah... Where are my gold bars and my antiques? I clearly came in to check on them before going to bed yesterday, and the room was full of stuff. How could they just disappear overnight?"

Ling's mother was also frantically pacing in circles in the empty basement, "And what about my phoenix crown? That's priceless!"

Listening to what Ling's parents said, how could Song Yaoyao not understand?

The snakeskin bag she always carried on her shoulder slipped off her shoulder, and she finally couldn't take the blow anymore and fainted.

Ling's parents quickly pinched her philtrum.

Just as they managed to wake her up, Song Yaoyao started screaming like a madwoman, "Father, Mother, Ling Huanwu must have stolen all these things! You need to call the police and have her arrested!"

Just then, the nanny's anxious shouts came from upstairs.

As Ling's parents helped Song Yaoyao up, they saw Lawyer Li arrive with several police officers.

"Mr. Ling, Mrs. Ling, Miss Ling Huanwu has entrusted me to reclaim the property belonging to the Ling family. Please move out of this house immediately and hand over the property, otherwise..."

Attorney Li glanced at the police officers behind him, his meaning clear.

Ling's parents were struck dumb, and both of them began to lose their balance.

The treasures left by their ancestors in the basement are all gone, but Ling Huanwu wants them to return everything. What will they use to return them?

Now it was Ling's parents' turn to faint.

Now, Ling's parents, who had been supporting Song Yaoyao, both fell to the ground, pulling the already isolated and helpless Song Yaoyao down with them. The three of them collapsed and lost their breath...

＊

On a green train.

The crowded passengers were packed one after another.

The sound of a train starting up rang out overhead, and the vibrations of wheels ready to go echoed beneath my feet.

Zhou Jiuzhen and Ling Huanwu were squeezed into a corner by the crowd of people who had also bought standing tickets.

Ling Huanwu, a tiny girl, was huddled in Zhou Jiuzhen's burning hot arms, almost lifted into the air. She was held against the metal wall of the train by the man in front of her with one hand, as if afraid that the surrounding passengers would crowd her.

"I'm fine, put me down."

She whispered in his ear, feeling so ashamed that she couldn't lift her head as she was being stared at by the aunties and grandmas around them.

But Zhou Jiuzhen seemed immune to the stares of those around him, and simply held her firmly as still as Mount Tai.

Just now, Zhou Jiuzhen somehow managed to make a phone call at the station and hailed a jeep to take her back to her hometown.

He assured her that once the marriage certificate was issued, he would send someone to pick her up from the village.

His leave to visit his family has now ended, and he must return to his unit immediately.

Ling Huanwu thought it over and over, and realized that with so much wealth on her now, if she went back to the countryside, she was afraid that she would get involved with Song Yaoyao and Zhou Shuyao again.

She was also afraid that Qin Jinshen would come knocking on her door.

That's why I nervously suggested joining the army ahead of schedule.

Unexpectedly, the man only pondered for a moment before nodding in agreement, which surprised Ling Huanwu.

The rumble of wheels turning came from beneath their feet, and as the scenery outside the car receded, they were about to step into a new world.

On the train station platform.

When Qin Jinshen arrived with a group of people, the train had already disappeared from sight.

He froze on the spot, and the moment he turned around, he vomited a mouthful of blood.

The head guard beside him hurriedly helped him up, shouting and carrying him straight to the hospital. As they ran, he comforted him, "Sir, I know you hate this woman, hate that she caused Miss to become a vegetable. Don't worry, we will catch her no matter where she is, and let you get your revenge!"

Qin Jin listened to his subordinate's words, but felt no comfort whatsoever.

When he learned that Ling Huanwu had disappeared again, he felt a dull pain in his chest for no reason, making it hard for him to breathe.

He only wanted to torment her for revenge, so why did it cause him such heart-wrenching pain?

Finally, before even reaching the hospital, he could no longer bear the pain and fainted.

Feeling dizzy and disoriented.

Qin Jin had a dream.

She dreamt that he had only gone back to Hong Kong to deal with the stubborn old men in the company who were not following his orders. When he returned to Yuncheng in mainland China, the woman who had imprisoned his sister in the basement had disappeared.

He searched the entire city of Yun but couldn't find her.

Later, his sister, who was in a vegetative state, woke up and told him that the woman who pushed her downstairs was not Ling Huanwu.

His whole world collapsed.

It wasn't until that moment that he realized why he was so determined to find Ling Huanwu.

During those days of tormenting her, he had long since etched her stubborn expression of gritting her teeth and refusing to give in or cry out in pain into his mind, and he could never forget it.

I saw her again five years later.

That woman was already married and had three children.

The moment they met again, he was filled with remorse, regretting that he hadn't kept a close eye on her and kept her by his side.

The triplets that followed would also be his sons.

During those years, he and her husband were locked in a fierce business battle.

But when her body was finally pulled from the septic tank, he collapsed beside her and never got up again.

He once made a wish.

If there is an afterlife, even knowing that she has married someone else, he will still seize her by force and keep her by his side without any scruples.

When Qin Jinshen woke up from his dream, his face was already covered in tears.

He pulled out the IV and immediately called a driver to take him to the remote Zhoujia Village in the mountains...

＊

Two days of trekking through mountains and rivers.

Song Yaoyao and Ling's parents, who had nowhere else to go, were also rushing to Zhoujia Village without stopping.

Song Yaoyao had just returned to the village entrance and hadn't even caught her breath when Zhou Shuyao, who had been playing cards with some friends, rushed over excitedly and hugged her tightly, saying he missed her.

"Honey, I've missed you so much!"

His friends and acquaintances joined in the laughter, "Look at Yaozi, he's already got a taste for it after just a few days, haha..."

"Sister-in-law, you must take good care of Yaozi!"

Ignoring his brothers' teasing, Zhou Shuyao dragged Song Yaoyao home in broad daylight.

Song Yaoyao blushed. She was already exhausted from walking all day on the mountain path, but he had no choice but to drag her back to the house and torment her.

Ling's parents had never seen anything like this before, and they quickly retreated back into the house.

When Qin Jinshen arrived with a group of people, he heard shameless sounds coming from the low mud-brick house, which made his chest heave violently with anger.

He subconsciously assumed that the man and woman inside were Zhou Shuyao and Ling Huanwu, and kicked open the old, poorly soundproof wooden door.

His anger reached its peak when he realized that the woman on the bed was not Ling Huanwu.

He grabbed Zhou Shuyao by the collar before he could take it off, pressed him hard onto the rickety wooden bed, and pounded his face with fists the size of sandbags, roaring angrily.

"How could you betray her? How could you treat her like this? She bore you three children!"

Terrified, Song Yaoyao pulled the blanket over herself. Before she could even cry for help, she heard Qin Jinshen's shocking words, which made her face turn pale with fright.
