Lin Yusheng had never seen Lu Zhengye so vulnerable before. He seemed lifeless, his eyes were closed, his lips were growing paler, and blood kept gushing out.
She desperately wanted to stand up and run to Lu Zhengye's side, but all she could hear were endless gunshots and the image of Lu Zhengye being shot.
Her hands and feet seemed frozen, unable to move an inch; only the warmth of her tears made her feel alive.
The exhaustion of many days, coupled with the immense grief at this moment, shrouded her in endless darkness and pain.
At the same time, the cramping pain in her lower abdomen made her feel as if she had fallen into an ice cave, her consciousness wavered, and she collapsed to the ground as if all her strength had left her.
Before she closed her eyes, she kept looking at Lu Zhengye.
"Lu Zhengye, Lu Zhengye, save him, save Lu Zhengye, who will save him?"
Before she lost consciousness, she shouted with all her might, but the sound was not loud, like a murmur or a plea.
*
Lin Yusheng was in a dream, as if she had returned to her past life.
Her soul did not immediately dissipate after her death, but floated in the air.
She saw her body covered in a body bag and then lifted into a police car.
Since all the responsibility lies with Lin Yusheng, the driver is innocent.
Everything is fine.
Her eyes swept across the room and she spotted a car that looked somewhat familiar.
She wouldn't have noticed before, but after her rebirth, she had ridden in this car countless times; it belonged to Lu Zhengye.
Almost subconsciously, Lin Yusheng drifted over.
She never imagined that Lu Zhengye would be there on this day.
The Lu Zhengye of his past life was completely different from the one of this life. His temperament was more composed and indifferent. After taking the position of the head of the Lu family, he didn't even bother to put on a fake smile. His whole person exuded a powerful aura that kept strangers at bay.
Lin Yusheng's heart skipped a beat.
She was used to Lu Zhengye being a flesh-and-blood person, and seeing him again from her past life was still very unsettling, but also heartbreaking.
Wei Qing remained his capable assistant. He said, "President Lu, there was a car accident ahead. It seems to be Miss Lin."
Lu Zhengye, who had been resting with his eyes closed, paused when he heard this. He then slowly opened his eyes, which were expressionless.
"Didn't the Lin family go bankrupt? Where did this Miss Lin come from?"
His tone was calm, but Lin Yusheng detected a hint of sarcasm in it.
Although she felt terrible, she knew that in her past life she was not worthy of Lu Zhengye's kindness.
She could only keep telling herself that they had started over and that she and Lu Zhengye would never go to this point again.
Wei Qing: "What President Lu said is true. The road ahead should be cleared soon."
"Um."
Lu Zhengye kept his eyes closed, then suddenly asked casually, "Who else is in the Lin family?"
"There are none left. The eldest son of the Lin family also died last night, in that alley ahead. I guess Lin Da... Lin Yusheng couldn't take it anymore and committed suicide."
Lu Zhengye remained silent.
At this moment, the people handling the accident heard from their subordinates that General Manager Lu was also there, so they all rushed over to curry favor with him.
Lu Zhengye did not react to his flattery.
After he finished speaking, he asked casually, "What should we do with those two corpses in front?"
"Huh?" The man was stunned for a moment before hurriedly replying, "Unclaimed bodies like this are usually sent directly to the crematorium for incineration, but Miss Deng's face was disfigured by the deceased, and she's currently in a rage. Who knows, she might even dispose of the corpse to vent her anger."
While Lu Zhengye was deep in thought, the man broke out in a cold sweat, truly unable to fathom this unpredictable young businessman.
He looked at Wei Qing for help, but Wei Qing was equally confused.
Lu Zhengye finally spoke, "I will send someone to collect their bodies. If anyone else wants to touch their corpses, just mention my name."
The man's eyes widened, wondering if he had misheard. He had never heard of any connection between the Lu family and the Lin family.
Even Wei Qing was surprised.
But Lu Zhengye clearly didn't intend to explain. When the car in front started moving, he rolled down his window and said, "Let's go."
The car drove away. Because it was in Lin Yusheng's dream, she could see what she wanted to see, so she stayed by Lu Zhengye's side.
For no other reason than that she also wanted to know the answer.
Wei Qing did indeed ask, "President Lu, why did you help them? Could it be that you really have feelings for Lin Yusheng?"
Lu Zhengye didn't even lift his eyelids, and said, "I just think she looks more pleasing to the eye than that Miss Deng."
Lin Yusheng could see Wei Qing's lips twitch; even a three-year-old wouldn't believe this reason.
So no one knows what Lu Zhengye is thinking at this moment.
Lin Yusheng suddenly wanted to hug Lu Zhengye. Even though they hadn't experienced everything in this life, she still wanted to say "thank you" to him.
In fact, she did just that, except that in her dream she had no physical form, she was just a void.
She hugged Lu Zhengye loosely and said, "Thank you."
As if sensing something, Lu Zhengye opened his deep eyes, and the distance between Lin Yusheng and his face was only a finger's width.
...
The dream ended there, but Lin Yusheng dreamt of the scene before she fainted again, so she suddenly woke up, "A-Ye."
When she woke up, she found herself in a car, and outside was still the dock, where a luxurious ship was moored.
The island of Wannu is surrounded by the sea, and it has no shortage of docks.
Lin Yusheng spotted Wei Qing through the car window. He was talking to several men who looked like boatmen, and he looked exhausted.
There were still many ghostly figures on the shore carrying things onto the boat.
Lin Yusheng didn't have time to think much; all she could think about was Lu Zhengye's safety.
She opened the car door, and the moment her feet touched the ground, her vision went black, and she almost lost her balance.
Her body was still too weak.
Lin Yusheng gritted her teeth and took a few steps while holding onto the car.
Wei Qing noticed her at this time as well.
Lin Yusheng's first question was, "Where's A-Ye? How is he?"
The friendliness in Wei Qing's eyes when he looked at Lin Yusheng was gone; instead, there was a sense of estrangement.
He walked over to Lin Yusheng and said, "The boss ordered that you be sent away from the Island of the Dead Slaves."
Lin Yusheng shook her head. "I'm not leaving. I want to stay by his side. How is he?"
"Unconscious and still in critical condition."
Lin Yusheng's heart sank suddenly, the pain almost suffocating her.
Wei Qing sneered, "He instructed me before that if anything happened to him, you must be sent away safely immediately. Lin Yusheng, do you feel any remorse for treating him like this?"
They really did know everything.
Lin Yusheng: "I can explain, I really had no choice."
"There are not so many unavoidable circumstances in the world, only sincerity and insincerity."
Lin Yusheng was speechless, her face as pale as paper.
"Rebirth does sound absurd, but the world is full of wonders. I just feel it's unfair on behalf of the boss. He hates deception more than anything in his life, you can't possibly not know that."
