Chapter 130 She Can't Escape His Palm
"Wonderful!"
"Chen Shuangmiao, it really is you!"
The two rushed ashore, their faces filled with barely concealed excitement.
"How...how did you find this place?" Shen Shuangmiao's voice trembled slightly as she suddenly saw two living people appear before her, still somewhat incredulous.
"This is not the time to talk about this!"
Fu Xuan grabbed her wrist, his tone urgent.
"Come with us quickly, the boat is over there, let's get out of here right now!"
Zhou Wu urged anxiously, "Yes! Don't hesitate any longer! Zhu Jin won't let you off the hook. Who knows what he might do in a month! Get out of here before he notices!"
leave?
Can we leave here now?
Shen Shuangmiao bit her lip and subconsciously glanced at the villa not far away.
Freedom is within reach.
However, Zhu Jin had staked everything he owned on that agreement.
If she leaves now, what will Zhu Jin do?
Will he really bankrupt Zhao Mobai as he threatened?
Will this be detrimental to Fu Xuan and his family?
She can't afford to gamble.
Shen Shuangmiao's heart began to ache.
Fu Xuan tugged at her, somewhat impatiently: "Let's go, what are you waiting for?"
Shen Shuangmiao took a deep breath, and just as she hesitated, a deep voice came from behind her.
"It seems we have guests."
The three of them were startled and turned around abruptly.
Zhu Jin appeared out of nowhere, his hands casually in his pockets, his expression indifferent, revealing neither joy nor anger.
When his gaze swept over Fu Xuan and Zhou Wu, both of them involuntarily straightened their backs.
"Shuang Miao."
Zhu Jin spoke, his voice completely calm, "You choose."
Fu Xuan and Zhou Wu tensed up instantly.
Zhou Wu subconsciously took half a step forward: "Ah Jin, forced love is never sweet! Let her go!"
Zhu Jin didn't look at her; he just waited quietly.
Shen Shuangmiao could hardly breathe as she watched him appear to have everything under control.
She can't risk the lives of people she cares about.
Moreover, she believed that Zhu Jin would keep his word this time.
Leaving peacefully a month later is safer than angering him.
In the end, Shen Shuangmiao shook her head with difficulty.
"You can go back now."
"What?"
Fu Xuan and Zhou Wu were both shocked.
“Chen Shuangmiao, you…” Zhou Wu looked at her in disbelief.
Shen Shuangmiao avoided their shocked gazes and said in a low voice, "I promised him. There are still twenty-six days left. Don't come again."
Fu Xuan wanted to say something more, but Zhu Jin just smiled.
"Don't be so nervous. They were able to come in because I let them in."
Shen Shuangmiao looked at him in astonishment.
Zhu Jin's lips curled up. "My men spotted this ship fifty nautical miles away. I gave the order to let them get closer."
"I just want you to choose for yourself, to see if you will go with them without hesitation, or if you will stay and keep our promise."
His gaze swept over the yacht not far away, his tone nonchalant.
"Of course, your choice also determines whether their ship can leave this area safely."
Shen Shuangmiao felt a chill run through her body in an instant.
He already knew.
He knew everything, and even deliberately let Fu Xuan and Zhou Wu in, just to force her to make this choice.
In order to make her refuse the rescue herself, and to make her realize that she could never escape his grasp.
No one was able to take the person away from him.
Shen Shuangmiao was speechless.
Zhu Jin is still the same Zhu Jin.
Love and hate are always taken to the extreme, leaving no room for compromise.
These past few days he has seemed to be backing down and not daring to get close, but in fact he has already trapped her here.
Shen Shuangmiao felt that she was not a person at all, but rather like Zhu Jin's pet.
Within his sight, she could ignore him, throw tantrums, or even hit and scold him at will.
But if she tries to escape, Zhu Jin will use every means to ensure that anyone who tries to take her away suffers eternal damnation.
Shen Shuangmiao closed her eyes.
She can't drag anyone else down with her.
Shen Shuangmiao took a deep breath and looked at Zhu Jin with a calm expression.
"I'll stay."
She turned to look at Fu Xuan and smiled, "You should leave now and not come back. I'm begging you."
After saying that, Shen Shuangmiao stopped looking at them, turned around and walked step by step toward Zhu Jin, stopping beside him.
Zhu Jin looked at her submissive appearance, a dark glint flashing in his eyes.
He took out a satellite phone and handed it to Zhou Wu.
“Call your dad.” His tone left no room for refusal.
Zhou Wu's lips trembled as she looked at him sadly: "Zhu Jin, can you please let yourself go? Shen Shuangmiao hates you so much, what can change in a month? Tell me, are you really happy forcing things like this?"
Zhu Jin remained expressionless and patiently emphasized, "Your father is waiting for your call."
"you……"
Zhou Wu had nothing to say and could only take the satellite phone.
As soon as she dialed the number, Zhou's father answered immediately.
"daughter."
Zhou's father said wearily, "Come back. Zhu Jin's people reported some of my businesses. I'm about to go to jail. Please help me, stop this mess."
Zhou Wu's heart tightened. He looked at Zhu Jin.
"Okay." Her voice was trembling with tears, and she took a deep breath. "I'm sorry to have troubled you. I'll go back right away."
After hanging up the phone, Zhou Wu's face was ashen. "Zhu Jin, you've gone mad. You're not mentally sound anymore."
Zhu Jin didn't speak, but simply made a gesture of invitation.
"You may leave."
Zhou Wu took a deep breath, speechless, and turned to leave with Fu Xuan.
Just as Shen Shuangmiao walked to the French windows, she happened to see the small boat carrying Fu Xuan and Zhou Wu slowly sail away and eventually disappear into the horizon.
She pushed freedom away with her own hands.
It's not that I don't want to, it's that I can't.
Shen Shuangmiao closed her eyes and sighed softly.
...
Fu Xuan and Zhou Wu returned exhausted.
As soon as we reached the shore, someone came to pick us up.
"The old lady wants to see you."
Exhausted, Zhou Wu exchanged a glance with Fu Xuan and resigned himself to his fate: "Let's go."
They went together to the Su family's old house.
They were met with an unprecedentedly stern rebuke from Madam Su.
"Nonsense! Utter nonsense!"
The old lady's face was ashen. "What good will your reckless rush in do, other than provoke him and make Miaomiao's situation even more dangerous?"
Zhou Wu bit her lip, her eyes red-rimmed, and stubbornly turned her face away.
Fu Xuan lowered his head, his face full of guilt: "Madam, we didn't think things through and acted too impulsively."
"Impulsive? You're being foolish!"
Old Madam Su was still furious. "He's like a man carrying a powder keg, and you're still charging at him! Luckily, he didn't kill him this time, otherwise..."
She didn't say anything more, but the meaning behind her words sent a chill down everyone's spine.
Just then, footsteps could be heard outside.
Zhao Mobai strode in, his face grave.
