Chapter 285 None of you three will leave this island alive today
"Qin Yuan, you're quite patient." Xing Yu raised his eyebrows and continued to test: "Are you sure this is Shu En? Or... Zheng Shuang?"
The name "Zheng Shuang" was like an axe that hit him unexpectedly.
All the internal organs, including the bones and flesh, were twitching with pain.
The name buried in the quagmire of memory, which he dared not touch even in his dreams at midnight, was now casually picked out by Xing Yu and exposed to the biting night wind, cruelly ravaged.
He closed his eyes tightly.
Thinking of those days and nights more than ten years ago, it was also a night like this. The girl's eyes were filled with broken stars and she smiled and said to him.
"Qin Yuan, we won't have to date secretly after we get into college. We'll be together forever. When we graduate, you'll marry me!"
But that sudden accident crushed all the promises he and she had made into pieces.
Qin Yuan let out a long breath, and when he opened his eyes again, the scarlet in his eyes almost overflowed: "Tell me, why did you go to check on her?"
"Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win every battle." Xing Yu's voice was straightforward, yet concealed a silent oppression.
"I had someone pretend to be one of your men and visit Qin Zhuoyi in prison. I lied to him that you were arrested by the police. If you want a reduced sentence, you have to tell him everything about you. Your clever brother, however, is not very smart. He spilled all your secrets in just a few words."
"This Zheng Shuang was your first love at seventeen. But she died in an accident the year you took the college entrance exam. After she left, you fell into a long period of pain and sorrow... You spent your days in a daze, depressed. Later, you dropped out of school and gave up on the college entrance exam. Finally, you completely fell into depravity and came to Lantai..."
Qin Yuan calmed down and asked, "What else did Zhuo Yi tell you?"
Xing Yu: "That's all he told me. I investigated the rest of the story myself. I went to Zheng Shuang's hometown these past two days."
"When I saw Zheng Shuang's photo, I had some guesses in my mind. Shu En was Qin Zhuoyi's girlfriend back then, but because she looked like Zheng Shuang, you began to pay unusual attention to her. Later, when Shu En graduated from high school, she was beaten by Lin Zhi. Shu Lun sent her abroad for plastic surgery, but she was absent during the entire process. During that time, you and Qin Zhuoyi were by her side."
"So, you..." Xing Yu paused, bent down to pick up the photo on the ground, and held it in front of Qin Yuan: "You give this photo of Zheng Shuang to the doctor and ask them to make Shu En look like Zheng Shuang based on her facial features."
"Even if you look closely, there are still differences between Shu En and Zheng Shuang after the plastic surgery. But in your heart, you have already stubbornly believed that she is Zheng Shuang."
Looking at Zheng Shuang's smile in the photo, Qin Yuan's fingertips felt cold.
Before Qin Zhuoyi met Shu En, he actually knew her first.
Because she looked a lot like Zheng Shuang from certain angles, he had been keeping an eye on her...
"Qin Yuan," Xing Yu continued, "every day you looked at Shu En after her plastic surgery, it was like seeing your first love come back to life. Gradually, you couldn't control your emotions anymore, and you completely ignored the fact that she was your brother's woman. So, you crossed the line and completely treated her as a substitute for Zheng Shuang."
"Enough!" Qin Yuan raised his head suddenly, anger surging in his eyes: "Stop talking!"
"Qin Yuan, this is wrong. Are you worthy of your brother? He agreed to Shu En's plastic surgery to look like Zheng Shuang because he probably wanted you to live a good life and get out of the haze. Qin Zhuoyi, that wronged bastard, still doesn't know that his beloved woman has been ruined by your brother and even had a child with him."
Qin Yuan yelled, "I told you to shut up!"
Xing Yu ignored his roar and continued to taunt him, "Qin Yuan, you're such a lovestruck man! You even named your and Shu En's daughter Qin Shuangyi. 'Shuang' is the character for 'Shuang' in Zheng Shuang, and 'Yi' is a homophone for 'Yi'. You're trying to tell yourself that she's the continuation of Zheng Shuang, but also the only one who belongs to you, right?"
"Qin Yuan, you're just a stand-in, why are you so obsessed with him?" Xing Yu's words were heartbreaking. "You have to understand that Shu En is not your white moonlight, Zheng Shuang. She deserves to die for the perverted things she did. Besides, Shu En doesn't love you at all. She has always loved Qin Zhuoyi."
Qin Yuan's body stiffened. Every word Xing Yu said was like a red-hot iron, burning his heart.
"Yes... I just use Shu En as a substitute! But so what? In my eyes, whoever I think she is, that's who she has to be!" Like a dying wolf, he continued with red eyes.
"She was wrong to bully Lin Yan, but you shouldn't have touched her! I could have... could have lived my whole life with that face, treating her as Xiao Shuang! Why did you shatter my dream? Why?"
Qin Yuan's men had already gathered around him, waiting for his orders. He pointed fiercely at Lin Yan, who was being restrained by Song Yanzheng, and gritted his teeth.
"You want to take Lin Yan away? Dream on. None of you three will leave this island alive today! This is my territory, and I have the final say!"
He suddenly looked at Song Yanzheng and raised his voice: "Song Yanzheng, shoot! Kill Xing Yu! As long as he's dead, Lin Yan will be yours! She can accompany you every day and be yours!"
After saying that, he turned back and threatened: "Xing Yu, your wife is in our hands now. If you dare to resist, it will be Lin Yan who will see the blood!"
Song Yanzheng slowly raised the muzzle of the gun that was originally against Lin Yan's waist.
Lin Yan's body tensed up and she struggled to speak, but Song Yanzheng gently held her arm.
The force was very light, and when the fingertips brushed against her wrist, it seemed to be sending some kind of signal.
Lin Yan stopped, and the panic in her eyes was replaced by calmness.
Xing Yu looked at the gun raised by Song Yanzheng without being moved, but surprisingly calm.
"Brother Yuan!" Shunzi's voice came again.
Qin Yuan turned around when he heard the sound, and his heart suddenly stopped beating.
Lin Yan, who should have been firmly controlled by Song Yanzheng, was now freed and protected by Lin Zhi behind him. The gun in Song Yanzheng's hand had been turned around at some point, and the cold muzzle was pressed against his forehead.
"Song Yanzheng!" Qin Yuan scratched his pale face: "Are you fucking crazy?"
Song Yanzheng's lips were bloodless, but his eyes were unusually calm, with even a hint of relief flashing across them.
He looked past Qin Yuan and towards Lin Yan. He gave her a deep look and said, "Well, crazy."
Qin Yuan's wound hurt, and his head hurt even more: "Mr. Song, what are you talking about?"
Song Yanzheng: "Can't you tell?"
Shunzi, who was being stepped on by Lin Zhi, couldn't help but curse: "Song Yanzheng! You're a fucking traitor! How dare you bite us back! You're courting death!"
Lin Zhi was annoyed by the noise and kicked him in the cheek: "Stop making noise!"
Qin Yuan finally realized what was happening and cursed, "Song Yanzheng, you're deliberately cooperating with me just to kill me? Are you so sick that you don't even care about your brain anymore? Think carefully about what you can gain by doing this!"
"I really can't get anything..." His voice was calm and composed, as if everything had settled. It was very light, as if it could be swept away by the sea breeze at any moment. "Since I can't get anything, I should do something..."
Lin Yan, who was standing by, realized it later.
For a moment, my mind was blank.
She couldn't help but look at Lin Zhi. Lin Zhi understood the doubt in her eyes and patted her shoulder.
This simple action of patting the shoulder confirmed Lin Yan's inner guess.
Song Yanzheng is helping them.
Shifting her gaze back to the front, she watched as Song Yanzheng pressed the muzzle of his gun closer to Qin Yuan's forehead.
"Qin Yuan, when you informed Lin Zhi to come to the island, I had already contacted them privately in advance to prepare for your response. Cooperation is true, but it is also true that you suddenly changed your mind..."
After a few seconds of silence, he looked at Lin Yan again, with a complicated light in his eyes.
"Yan Yan, I won't force you. If you don't want to accompany me, then forget it... I don't want you to think of me many years later with only resentment and disgust in your heart..."
"Song Yanzheng!" A loaded gun was pressed against his head. All it took was a flick of his index finger to finish him off. Qin Yuan stood there in fear, not daring to move, trying to persuade him to wake up.
"Put your gun down first! There's no benefit in helping Xing Yu! Do you think they'll let you go if you do this?"
"I didn't help anyone." Song Yanzheng said calmly, "I just didn't want Yanyan to be sad. Lin Zhi and Xing Yu were in trouble, and she was the one who was most sad..."
"It's strange... When I figured out this obsession, the world suddenly became open-minded... I didn't do anything for Yanyan, but now, I'm sure of what I should do."
"You're such a big trouble, let me solve it for her myself!"
