Chapter 687: The Story Within the Story

The wind can bring people closer, but it can also blow away the heat after they get closer...

Her decisiveness in collecting the check seemed to annoy him again. Zhao Sheng had a bad temper and his emotions fluctuated frequently in front of her. He concealed his annoyance and asked unwillingly.

"Why did you marry him? Was it for the money?"

"Maybe." Lin Yiyi confessed while staring into the darkness. Who doesn't love?

"Do you love him, then?"

Zhao Sheng didn't want to reveal his inner emotions, and calmly took out a cigarette from his trouser pocket. However, the cigarette had been soaked and deformed by the sea water and could not be lit.

When Lin Yiyi heard him ask this, she immediately laughed. Why did he ask such an irrational question?

She tilted her head, looked at him with her usual smile, and asked softly, "Is it so important whether you love me or not?"

She has no one who loves her, yet she has come this far.

Lin Yiyi knows that she doesn’t know how to love, so she chooses someone who knows how to love, so that she can also have happiness and a family.

She was always very sensitive to emotions, and suddenly guessed the other meaning behind his words, "...Are you asking me why I didn't choose you?"

Zhao Sheng's eyes flickered, and after several changes, he hummed in a muffled voice, fearing that the wind was too loud and she couldn't hear him, and spoke in a cold voice with great self-respect, "Why?"

The dream was just a dream, so there was no need to be nervous. Lin Yiyi spoke more calmly, "You are like me, both of you are unwilling to take the initiative."

"I pestered you with nothing, asked you for something, and tried to please you, only then did you bow your head and accommodate me."

"But when I have food to eat and a place to live, when I don't have to rely on you, and when I don't have to bow my head to reality, I won't take the initiative to approach you, and you won't take the initiative to approach me."

"It's tiring to get along with people who are too similar. Time is short. I want to live a simple and easy life."

…

The sea breeze was blowing wildly, and as soon as she finished speaking, the two of them fell into endless silence...

Zhao Sheng seemed to be convinced. He lowered his brows and stubbornly refused to turn his head to look at her. His long hair fluttering in the wind covered Lin Yiyi's line of sight.

She felt a little cold and didn't bother to lift up her messy hair. She turned around and prepared to go to the lounge downstairs. But when she brushed past him, the silent man opened his palm to her.

It's that peace bracelet.

Zhao Sheng moved his thin lips slightly, "I'll give it back to you."

He helped her put it on just like he had done before, his cold and hard features showing no emotion at all.

Although it was just three words, Lin Yiyi understood that this was the real way to sever the connection.

She lied to him.

He is also...

Now the two are even.

The fingernail-sized peace pendant was shining with silver light, and the light was jumping violently, as if it had returned to its owner.

"Was that kiss real?"

Lin Yiyi looked up at him, somewhat surprised that Zhao Sheng would ask about this, but what surprised her even more was that she remembered so clearly what happened a year ago.

"Close your eyes."

Zhao Sheng did as he was told. He always let down his guard when he was with her, and this time was no exception.

The yacht seemed to slow down and stop at this moment.

She stretched out her right hand, put her index and middle fingers together, and pressed the pads of her fingers against his lips.

Then he rubbed it gently twice and left quickly.

Her movements were swift and cunning...

The 100-foot luxury yacht was sailing in the night, cutting through the black silk with its light. When it was about to arrive at the dock, it unexpectedly discovered a flashlight flashing a signal for help less than one kilometer to the left front.

Liang Hao remembered the initial report from the dock, so he asked the driver to turn 30 degrees and drive over.

Two-thirds of the 40-foot yacht sank into the sea, leaving only a small space for the two bodyguards to temporarily stay.

In fact, this place is not far from the shore. It was mainly because it was dark and we couldn't tell the direction, and the wind was strong and the waves were rough, otherwise we wouldn't be in such a mess.

After seeing clearly that they were Mr. Chen's two bodyguards, Liang Hao asked them about their situation.

When he learned that it was Zhao Sheng who took action, his brows immediately frowned. He tried to persuade him to leave in the evening, but the other party came back to attack him.

He had to cause some trouble before he would calm down.

Liang Hao had felt that there was something strange about Mr. Chen's illness, and then he heard the two men say that Zhao Shengkai and their motorboat had run away.

The scene at the dock suddenly popped up in my mind.

Liang Hao immediately gestured to the other three members, first ensuring the personal safety of Mr. Ding and Mrs. Ding, and then patrolling around without alerting the guests.

After finding out that the young lady was not at home and no one was seen on the two floors downstairs, he took everyone to the top floor viewing bridge.

The person we want to catch is right above.

A few glances and things change rapidly.

"Don't move!"

Liang Hao pulled out his gun and pointed it at Zhao Sheng. Fearing that it would cause a commotion, he turned back and winked at the two men, and decided to detain Zhao Sheng directly.

Wait until it reaches the shore to process.

A dramatic scene unfolded, and before Lin Yiyi had time to leave, she became a hostage controlled by the man beside her.

She knew that Zhao Sheng would not hurt her, but just wanted to get away, so she pretended to be scared and panicked. Fortunately, the cold wind made it easy to shiver.

"I let you go this afternoon, so what are you going to do now? Are you going to fight against a rock with an egg?

You release the young lady, and come with me after we reach the shore. I promise you will be fine."

"fine?"

Zhao Sheng sneered in his heart, his eyes full of disdain.

It was the same thing last time. The branch asked him to deal with the female killer, but he turned around and followed Mr. Chen's men to take action.

Now that Mr. Chen is gone, instead of arresting him and letting him take responsibility, they can release him?

Zhao Sheng didn't believe Liang Hao's words at all. Fortunately, these people didn't know about his relationship with Lin Yiyi, so now he could only let her suffer a little.

The sturdy man grabbed the woman's neck with one hand and was about to pull her collar, but she was wearing a halter dress and he was afraid that the two thin straps would be torn off.

Lin Yiyi was a little panicked. For a moment, she was worried that Zhao Sheng’s fighting power was not enough and his shooting skills were not accurate. Could he fight three people at once?

But I sensed something wrong from their words. They had let Zhao Sheng go before, but why were they so hostile now?

"Hey handsome guys, point your guns at each other, not at me."

As soon as Lin Yiyi finished speaking, the fierce kidnapper's fierce voice immediately rang in her ear: "Shut up!"

There is no awareness when being a hostage.

The other two members of the Li branch had dark lines on their faces: She is worthy of being the young lady of the Ding family.

The two sides were in a stalemate, but they did not dare to act rashly and could only buy time. It didn't matter if there was any big noise after evacuating the guests on the yacht after docking.

Unfortunately, man proposes, God disposes.

The two bodyguards who were rescued and knew the inside story saw that Lianghao had not come down yet, guessed the reason and followed him.

Before he had even walked up the stairs, he saw the enemy who had injured him. Without caring about anything else, he raised his hand and fired a shot with a loud "bang".

There were screams from upstairs and downstairs.

Before Lin Yiyi could react, the man behind her pulled her to the railing. Her hair was blown by the wind, obstructing her vision. She couldn't see anything clearly, and soon two more gunshots were heard.

“Bang! Bang!”

The man pulled her so hard that she couldn't stand steadily, and her high heels became a hindrance in her attempts to save her life.

The hand that was pinching her neck also moved to her waist, and as she was dizzy, the smell of blood was blown by the wind.

Zhao Sheng had no cover at all, so he could only hold Lin Yiyi tightly and dodge back and forth.

Lianghao had a fixed bench as cover and found that the two people hiding on the stairs were firing, so he immediately shouted, "Stop! Stop the fucking thing!"

But the screams and panic caused by the first gunshot had already drowned out his words.

The continuous sound of gunfire further obscured everything.

The viewing bridge was only 20 square meters in size and was occupied by three teams. The two men on the stairs just stretched out their hands and fired randomly, occasionally looking at the enemy's position from the corner.

They are all professionals, so their shooting skills are naturally accurate.

But in just a few blinks of an eye, they quickly changed positions and Lin Yiyi suddenly sprained her ankle. In just this slight pause for breath, her five senses seemed to be magnified in an instant.

Her body shook violently, and she could clearly smell his body odor mixed with sweat. Soon, strong arms pulled her quickly and fiercely behind him.

Somehow, the panic and fear in Lin Yiyi's heart disappeared in an instant, and her forgotten memories were awakened again.

The 19 days of brief embrace...

And her insignificant life that was abandoned...

The world was spinning and she felt a sweet and fishy taste in her throat. The scene in front of her was moving away from her.

She was falling.

She wanted to call out, but she just moved her lips and no sound came out.

With a "splash", the sea water enveloped her, and the safety bracelet on her wrist also fell into the cold darkness with her.

The yacht did not stop. It seemed that it did not know who it had left behind and just kept moving at full speed towards the final dock.

"thump--"

…
