Chapter 210 Escape
She looked at him for a long time, but when she didn't get an answer, she asked, "Why, is it not possible?"
Zhou Shiran naturally couldn't say the word "no". Facing her expectation, after a long pause, he moved his lips and finally said, "Now?"
Shen Sangsang withdrew her gaze from his face, and she lowered her head: "Yes, I want to say my final goodbye, maybe I won't come back in the future."
Zhou Shiran looked at her profile and saw the dejection on her face. After a long moment, she finally spoke, "Okay."
When Shen Sangsang heard this, she subconsciously looked towards him, as if asking him with her eyes: "Really? Is this really possible?"
Zhou Shiran couldn't bear to see her look like that, so he put his hand on her shoulder and said, "Let's go. Let's go now."
At this moment, Shen Sangsang smiled slightly and said, "Okay."
After seeing the smile on her face, Zhou Shiran immediately turned his gaze and told the driver the address of a cemetery.
When his younger brother heard what he said, he only said with concern: "Brother Zhou, do you still have time to go to that kind of place now?"
Zhou Shiran didn't want his younger brother to say anything more, so he shut him up and said, "Just drive ahead."
When the younger brother heard him say this, he naturally didn't dare to say anything.
The car started to drive towards the cemetery that Zhou Shiran mentioned. During this process, Shen Sangsang was thinking about a question in her mind. The question was, how did Zhou Shiran know where Shen Zhou's cemetery was? Had he been there?
Shen Sangsang thought so, of course, she did not ask about this doubt.
Zhou Shiran, who was standing by, naturally didn't notice what she was thinking.
The car drove all the way to the cemetery, of course at the fastest speed.
Nearly forty minutes had passed since they arrived at the foot of the cemetery. After the car stopped, a light drizzle began to fall outside. Zhou Shiran glanced out the window, frowning for a moment before turning to look at the people around him. "It looks like it's raining."
When Shen Sangsang heard this, she subconsciously looked out the car window. However, she did not retreat because of the rain. Instead, she asked in a low voice, "Can you go with me?"
Zhou Shiran's eyes flickered for a few seconds before he whispered, "Okay... I'll go up then."
"Um."
The two got out of the car together. Because there was no umbrella, Zhou Shiran took a coat from the car and covered Shen Sangsang's head with it.
Shen Sangsang had just come out of the hospital, and he was worried that she would catch a cold if she got caught in the rain.
Shen Sangsang didn't care about these things. Under his protection, she just walked towards the mountain with a calm expression.
Zhou Shiran naturally stayed by her side all the time and walked up the mountain with her.
When the two arrived in front of Chen Zhou's tombstone, Chen Sangsang stood there, his eyes fixed on the faded photo of Chen Zhou on the tombstone. Zhou Shiran was also looking at it, and when he saw the photo of Chen Zhou, his expression froze slightly.
At this moment, Shen Sangsang's peripheral vision fell on his face, and in those few seconds, she saw that he was in a trance.
She had no idea what he was thinking during those few seconds.
At this time, Shen Sangsang asked: "Have you been here?"
When Zhou Shiran heard her voice, his thoughts naturally went back to the past. The moment he saw her, he immediately said, "No, no."
Shen Sangsang heard his words and said nothing.
Zhou Shiran's eyes flickered again and fell on her cheek. He whispered, "Do you come here often?"
"Occasionally," she whispered.
Shen Sangsang's gaze fell on the photo on the tombstone again. She stared at the photo and continued to be in a daze.
Just as the two of them stood there silently, the rain was getting heavier and heavier, so heavy that their clothes were soaked. Zhou Shiran took the clothes in his hands and wrapped them directly around her.
Shen Sangsang naturally did not struggle, but let him wrap her up. Her eyes fell on Shen Zhou's portrait, and she whispered in her heart: "A Zhou, did you see it? Is this person one of the murderers who killed you? If so, just nod."
She looked at the portrait and waited in her heart.
But the person in the photo on the tombstone remained motionless, as if he was forever sealed in that small stone tablet.
After she had watched Chen Zhou for a long time in the rain, she finally said, "A Zhou, I'm leaving now. I hope you're doing well over there. After this separation, we may never have the chance to meet again."
"And I..."
She paused for a few seconds before continuing, "And I have decided to forget you from today on, completely and thoroughly."
"Take care of yourself over there."
When Shen Sangsang said this, the next second, she bent over and gently placed a ring in front of Shen Zhou’s tombstone.
Zhou Shiran, who was standing behind her, naturally followed her movements. After seeing the ring on the tombstone, he saw two letters on the ring.
A z and an s.
He could tell at a glance what these s and z represented.
That is the abbreviation of Zhou and Sang.
After seeing the abbreviation of those two words, Zhou Shiran thought to herself that it must be the love ring between her and Chen Zhou.
When he thought of this, he couldn't tell whether he felt sour or something else.
The moment Shen Sangsang placed the ring in front of the tombstone, she stood up from in front of the tombstone. After that, she stood there quietly without saying anything.
The weather was getting worse, the wind was getting stronger and stronger, and the rain was getting heavier and heavier, so heavy that my cheeks and body were all wet with rain.
At this time, Zhou Shiran lowered his eyes to look at the person in his arms and said, "You are very weak now, let's go."
After hearing his words, Shen Sangsang did not speak for the time being.
Seeing that she didn't seem to want to leave yet, Zhou Shiran's hand on her shoulder gradually tightened, from a loose grip to a firm grip. After holding it for a while, he said:
"Let's go, the rain is getting heavier and it will be difficult to go down the mountain.
A tear slid down from the corner of Shen Sangsang's eye and landed just below the end of her eye.
When Zhou Shiran saw the tear under the corner of her eye, he was slightly stunned. At that moment, his heart began to ache obviously.
The pain was complex, with many things mixed together.
"let's go."
He spoke again, but his voice was much lower and softer.
Shen Sangsang closed her eyes, and at that moment, tears fell rapidly like beads from a broken string.
Guilt filled Zhou Shiran's heart, so much so that he felt bloated and painful.
The more she cried, the more those emotions trapped him. This feeling made his heart feel like a hole had been dug out, filled with empty echoes.
He held her tightly in his arms, his voice getting lower and lower: "Don't cry."
His voice was full of sobs and heartache.
He never thought that he would really feel so sorry for a girl that he would feel heartbroken because of her tears.
Guilt, uneasiness, pity, sympathy, so many words intertwined together and tangled into a thick hemp rope.
He was afraid that she would continue to be sad, so he held her shoulders tighter and tighter. While she was crying and didn't open her eyes, he forced her to hold him and leave the tombstone. After they walked down the mountain, the rain had completely turned into a downpour.
After Zhou Shiran rushed them into the car, both of them were soaked.
The younger brother sitting in the driver's seat saw them get into the car and quickly said, "Brother Zhou, are we leaving now?"
Zhou Shiran's eyes had been fixed on the person in his arms. When he heard his younger brother's words, he immediately raised his head and said, "Let's go to the airport right now."
After hearing his words, the younger brother turned around and was about to drive away quickly. At this time, the radio in the car was broadcasting an important news.
Due to the arrival of a huge typhoon, all flights at the city's airport will be grounded.
Zhou Shiran's face froze when he heard the news. Even his younger brother turned around and said nervously, "Brother Zhou!"
Zhou Shiran never expected something like this to happen today. His first reaction was to look out the car window.
There were dark clouds outside, and suddenly a violent storm hit.
He had never seen such weather before. It was as terrible as if the end of the world was coming.
Zhou Shiran immediately looked at the person in his arms. He saw that her cheeks were pale at this moment. She leaned against his chest, and her face was full of sorrow.
Seeing her like this, Zhou Shiran thought for a long time, then whispered: "If you can't leave today, then let's leave the city first and find a place to stay."
When the younger brother heard this, he objected: "Brother Zhou, if we don't leave today, we may not be able to leave later. The brothers over there have kidnapped Madam Shen."
In fact, Zhou Shiran kidnapped Madam Shen in order to make a deal with Shen Yuehuai. He knew that they might not be able to leave, so he still had Madam Shen in his hand. If he failed to leave, he could still use Madam Shen to negotiate with Shen Yuehuai.
He didn't tell his subordinates about this plan yet. He just frowned and said, "Do as I say."
Seeing how determined he was, the younger brother knew that he could not change anything, so he could only follow his words and drive the car forward.
As the car sped along in the strong wind and heavy rain, Zhou Shiran looked at the person in his arms again. His hand fell on her arm, and feeling the coldness on her body, the wrinkles between his brows deepened.
Why did he decide not to leave today? The typhoon had a big factor, and the person in his arms also had a big factor.
Her condition clearly made it impossible for her to use any means of transportation.
If they didn't change their clothes immediately, the person in his arms would definitely get sick.
Their car was driving on the national highway, and the wind blew their car around. The driver was so blown by the hurricane that he could hardly hold the steering wheel.
The younger brother felt the difficulty and shouted loudly: "Brother Zhou! I'm afraid we can't drive on this road. The wind is too strong and it's pitch black ahead!"
Zhou Shiran could naturally see ahead. He felt the car shaking constantly. There was no car on the national highway at that moment. In such bad weather, it was obvious that if they continued to take the risk of driving forward, something would go wrong.
In these few short seconds, Zhou Shiran had to make a decision.
Facing his younger brother's loud warning, Zhou Shiran said coldly: "Stop for now."
After getting his answer, the younger brother finally breathed a sigh of relief, quickly chose a safe place, and slowly stopped the car.
…
As for Shen Yuehuai, it was already ten o'clock in the evening when he appeared in the bridal chamber. When he walked into the bedroom and saw the mess in the room, he first walked to the head of the bed and reached out to open the drawer.
The documents inside were long gone, leaving only some unimportant odds and ends lying there.
Shen Yuehuai stared at the empty drawer for a long time.
The servants standing behind him were all silent and dared not speak.
The room was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
After a while, Shen Yuehuai withdrew his gaze, and then his eyes fell on a pile of clothes on the bed.
In fact, from the missing documents and the pile of messy clothes on the bed, he could tell that the kidnapped person left voluntarily.
Otherwise, why would he take his clothes with him?
Shen Yuehuai stood by the bed for a long time. He reached out and picked up a coat from the bed and looked at it. After a long time, his fingers holding the clothes began to become extremely strong, so strong that his knuckles turned white.
Xu Jie stood not far away and called out in a low voice: "Boss Shen."
Shen Yuehuai, who had his eyes slightly lowered, raised them slightly, a shadow fell on his face. He did not speak, making it impossible to guess his emotions.
Xu Jie whispered again, "Should we... call the police?"
Xu Jie's question lingered for a long time. When the man still hadn't responded, he said one word: "Report."
Just this short word is so cold and gloomy.
Shen Yuehuai put the coat in his hand back on the bed. He looked at Xu Jie sideways and said, "If he's alive, I want to see him. If he's dead, I want to see his body."
These eight words made everyone present shudder. These eight big words were so unusually cold.
After hearing this, Xu Jie immediately replied: "Okay, I'll go to the police station now."
Shen Yuehuai also turned around and left the bed.
There was a constant storm outside, with thunder and lightning rumbling and flashing.
The cold light of lightning fell on Shen Yuehuai's face, like a blade across his face, illuminating his emotionless eyes.
He knew very well that she wouldn't get far with him.
When Shen Yuehuai walked out of the bedroom, the servants naturally followed him out.
When everyone left, the bedroom was suddenly empty. Only the wind was blowing the curtains, making it feel particularly deserted.
…
The weather was so extreme that there were wind, rain and lightning all night long.
When the morning light of the next day began to spread across the sky, the entire world was in chaos.
The clouds are messy, the trees are messy, and the rain is messy.
Both sides of the national highway are lined with fallen trees.
Some were broken by lightning, some by the wind, and the car that was parked on the highway last night was nowhere to be found. The rain was still washing the trees.
The road has no intention of stopping.
