Chapter 36 I Saved You Again
Huo Zhizhou seemed unwilling to bring up the matter and turned his face away.
"So what? That kid's life or death is none of my business."
"President Huo is more open-minded than I imagined."
Li Yanzhou suddenly chuckled softly, his gaze shifting slightly.
"Well then, I wish you good luck, Mr. Huo. I hope your wife won't put you in a difficult position."
Upon hearing this, Huo Zhizhou's expression suddenly darkened, as if he were deep in thought.
Li Yanzhou looked like he needed to rest. He rubbed his temples, looking slightly tired, and sat down on the sofa, closing his eyes to concentrate.
"What are you standing there for? Come with me now!"
Upon seeing this, Huo Zhizhou immediately reprimanded Luo Tingwei.
Luo Tingwei immediately realized what was happening and followed Huo Zhizhou out of the room step by step.
As the door closed, the man on the sofa opened his eyes.
He took out his phone, dialed a number, and the call was quickly answered.
"That economic criminal from a few days ago... yeah, death penalty, to be carried out in three days."

Luo Tingwei followed Huo Zhizhou outside, still feeling lingering fear.
Huo Zhizhou escorted her back to his room and gave her a few instructions: "Lock the door yourself. I'll send two bodyguards over to watch over you later. Just get through these few days, and everything will be fine once he leaves."
Luo Tingwei hadn't expected Huo Zhizhou to help her in the end, and a warm feeling welled up in her heart.
"Thank you, brother..."
Huo Zhizhou looked at her and suddenly asked, "What is your relationship with that Lin Zeyuan?"
"Um?"
Luo Tingwei looked up at him, puzzled. "What's wrong? We met in America."
"That kid seems to be interested in you."
Huo Zhizhou's gaze became unfathomable. "Do you know anything about his family background?"
"I'm not really sure," she said honestly.
Huo Zhizhou was silent for a moment, then said meaningfully,
"If you want to get rid of Li Yanzhou completely, Lin Zeyuan is a good choice. Only the Lin family behind him can stand up to Li Yanzhou."
Luo Tingwei chuckled awkwardly, "You want me and Lin Zeyuan to... get rid of a devil by getting close to another man? Isn't that too high a price to pay?"
Huo Zhizhou was somewhat puzzled, "Lin Zeyuan is about the same age as you, and his appearance and conversation are also quite good. What, don't you feel any attraction?"
"I don't feel anything."
Luo Tingwei thought to herself, she wasn't even attracted to Li Yanzhou, let alone Lin Zeyuan.
Although Lin Zeyuan's appearance matched her aesthetic standards, her ultimate aesthetic standard was...
Actually, it was Li Yanzhou.
Although she really didn't want to admit it.
What a pity, such a perfect face, yet she did such beastly things.
Although he met her aesthetic standards, she wasn't simply someone who only cared about looks.
He did so many beastly things to her, how could she possibly like him? Absolutely not.
Upon hearing this, Huo Zhizhou couldn't help but complain.
"Idiot, I think that car accident made you stupid. You don't even understand the most basic love between men and women. Looks like I need to send you for electroconvulsive therapy."
It's understandable that she resisted Li Yanzhou in every way.
But Lin Zeyuan is a proper young master from a prestigious family, gentle and refined, and there are quite a few girls in the circle who pursue him.
Huo Zhizhou narrowed his eyes, unable to understand what kind of man Luo Tingwei wanted.

The next day was the anniversary of Luo Tingwei's mother's death. After visiting the grave, Luo Tingwei felt a heavy weight in her heart. So she asked the driver to take her to the nearby sea.
She chartered a boat and let herself drift aimlessly on it.
The sun was shining brightly. She leaned against the railing, letting the sea breeze occasionally tousle her long hair, her mind filled with countless thoughts.
At that very moment, on a yacht not far away, a man wearing sunglasses was leisurely lying on the deck, sunbathing.
He simply raised his hand, and the bikini-clad woman beside him immediately offered him carefully selected grapes and personally fed them to him.
The man absentmindedly chewed on grapes, but his gaze kept glancing at the ships opposite him.
Suddenly, the sky changed color.
The once clear sky suddenly turned into a storm of dark clouds and howling winds.
The sea began to rise and the waves began to rise.
The small boat that Luo Tingwei had rented began to rock from side to side.
Luo Tingwei was a little unsteady on her feet and could only hold tightly to the handrail as she shouted towards the cockpit.
"Captain, give me a life jacket!"
"good."
The old captain poked his head out of the cockpit and threw the life jacket he was holding at her.
A perfect parabola.
She watched helplessly as the life jacket went over her head and fell straight into the water.
"..."
"Is there anything else?" she asked, unwilling to give up.
"That's all, only two left. If I give them to you, I'll have nothing left." The captain knew he had made a mistake, and his eyes darted around.
Just then, a monstrous wave crashed in.
Luo Tingwei's vision went black, and before she could realize what was happening, a giant wave had already swept her into the sea.
The salty seawater began to rapidly invade her mouth and nose.
She couldn't open her eyes; all around her was darkness.
She couldn't swim, and her body bobbed up and down on the water. She tried to reach out, as if to grab onto something, but her fingertips only brushed against empty air. The waves lifted her up and tossed her down again and again; she was like a piece of driftwood that had lost its balance, completely unable to control her direction.
The last wave came and completely submerged her underwater.
She couldn't breathe; the intense feeling of suffocation made her face turn red.
Gradually, that familiar yet desperate feeling of impending death washed over her, instantly pulling her back to that afternoon five years ago...
The swimming pool, the shore, the pungent smell of disinfectant, the towering ceiling... and that figure that seemed to descend from the sky in a hazy way.
Is she going to die?
Her consciousness gradually faded.
At that moment, a powerful force pulled her out of the water.
Her consciousness was hazy, and she let herself rest on that person's broad and strong shoulders.
It feels so familiar...
She tried hard to open her eyes, but her eyelids pressed down heavily, and she could only vaguely see the outline of the other person.
"It's you..."
Reality and memories intertwined, and her brain suffered from severe oxygen deprivation, causing her to faint after uttering only this one sentence.
It was him...
This familiar feeling can't be wrong.
It's the same person who saved her five years ago; he's back.
After dragging her back to the shore, the man slapped her face, his expression revealing visibly urgency for the first time, "Weiwei..."
"Wake up!"
Can you hear me?
He began to massage her, and after an unknown amount of time, Luo Tingwei spat out a mouthful of water, but her eyes remained tightly closed.
At that moment, he noticed that her knee was bleeding, with blood gushing out.
The sound of a yacht docking came from afar. The man carefully laid her flat on the shore and then ran towards the yacht.
When the young woman saw him return, she looked terrified and exclaimed, "You scared me to death!"
"First-aid kit."
The man frowned and coldly uttered those three words.
*
When Luo Tingwei woke up, the first thing she saw was Lin Zeyuan's gentle face.
When Lin Zeyuan saw that she had woken up, a look of relief appeared on his face, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
"I saved you again."
