Chapter 253 I dreamt she died
In his dream, Shi Fei waited for Zhu Jinzhao for three days, but received no reply whatsoever.
Although he looked down on Zhu Jinzhao's background, he didn't harbor much hostility towards her as a person. Since he had promised Zhu Jinzhao that he would help her leave, he would keep that promise until Zhu Jinzhao replied.
He would text or call Zhu Jinzhao every day, waiting for her to reply.
More than half a month has passed, but he hasn't received even a single punctuation mark.
His unease grew stronger day by day, and he could no longer wait, so he decided to go and see Zhu Jinzhao in person.
But a girl named Jiang Jingwen suddenly found him before he even arrived at his door.
"Uncle Shi, Chaochao has gone missing!"
Jiang Jingwen said to him while crying.
He looked at the young girl with suspicion and asked in a cold voice, "Why are you telling me this?"
Jiang Jingwen took out her phone from her bag and showed him Zhu Jinchao's WeChat: "I logged into Chaochao's WeChat and found that you have been contacting her, so I came to find you!"
Shi Fei took her phone, checked the WeChat messages, and confirmed that it really was Zhu Jinzhao's before he lowered his guard slightly.
"What's your name? And who are you to Zhu Jinzhao?"
While wiping away her tears, Jiang Jingwen said, "My name is Jiang Jingwen. I am Jiang Yutao's daughter, and I grew up with Zhu Jinzhao."
“…Jiang Yutao?” Shi Fei found the name somewhat familiar. “Is he Jiang Yutao from Jiang’s Trading Company?”
"Yes!" Jiang Jingwen nodded. "It's Jiang Yutao from Jiang's Trading Company!"
Shi Fei raised an eyebrow, quite surprised: "You just said Zhu Jinzhao has disappeared, what exactly happened?"
Jiang Jingwen was very anxious, so she spoke a little fast: "About half a month ago, I suddenly found that Chaochao stopped replying to my WeChat messages. I am Chaochao's best friend, and she never ignores the messages I send her, so I felt something was wrong at the time, so I kept calling her on my phone, but her phone was turned off."
“I was afraid something had happened to her, so I drove straight to the Zhu family home and asked her brothers if she was home, but all three of her brothers said she had already gone on a trip.”
"I don't believe it!"
"I don't believe it either." Shi Fei frowned, his face terribly dark. "You saw the message I sent to Zhu Jinzhao, so you should know that I promised her I would let her leave the capital safely. She wanted to leave so badly, how could she suddenly run off on a trip?"
“That’s right!!” Jiang Jingwen chimed in, “Chao Chao dreams of leaving the capital and the Zhu family. Why would she go on a trip when her hopes are finally realized? Besides, the Zhu family would never agree to her going on a trip!”
"Uncle Shi, the Zhu family is all lying to me. I suspect they've hidden Chaochao away."
Thinking of this possibility, Jiang Jingwen's tears, which she had managed to hold back, welled up again.
She cried so desperately and pitifully that she could barely speak.
"Uncle Shi, Chaochao is definitely in danger. Only you can help her right now! I beg you, please save her!"
Shi Fei's brows furrowed more and more, and he guessed that something might have happened to Zhu Jinzhao.
He pulled out a few tissues from the table next to him and handed them to Jiang Jingwen to wipe her tears.
"Are the Zhu family members treating Zhu Jinzhao very badly?"
Upon hearing this question, Jiang Jingwen's eyes instantly flashed with hatred: "It's not just bad, their whole family treats Chaochao like an enemy!"
Shi Fei: "Hmm?"
Jiang Jingwen crumpled the tissue into a ball, wiped away her tears haphazardly, and sobbed, "Ever since Zhu Mingyue returned to the Zhu family, Chaochao has become the sinner of the entire Zhu family."
She recounted everything the Zhu family had done to Shi Fei, and by the end, tears streamed down her face once again.
"Twenty years of friendship vanished in the face of Zhu Mingyue's schemes... They now see Chaochao as a vicious and wicked woman, no longer regarding her as a normal person."
"Uncle Shi, actually, Chaochao doesn't insist on clinging to Shi Jing. It's just that in this world, only Shi Jing is truly good to her. She doesn't want to give up this kindness, so she secretly gets together with Shi Jing behind your back."
Shi Fei: "But Shi Jing is responsible for the entire Shi Yun Group, so he is destined not to be with her."
"The person Shi Jing wants to marry must be of equal social standing to him."
“I know.” Jiang Jingwen smiled, “Chaochao knows too, so even though she was reluctant, she blocked all of Shi Jing’s contact information.”
"Uncle Shi, Chaochao has broken up with Shi Jing. She kept her promise. I beg you, please save her!"
It was a human life after all, and the bandits did not stand idly by.
He granted Jiang Jingwen's request and immediately dispatched men to search the entire capital for Zhu Jinzhao's whereabouts.
Two weeks later, his men found Zhu Jinzhao at a special correctional school in the southern suburbs of the capital.
Upon receiving the news, he immediately took Jiang Jingwen and rushed over.
But when he got there, he saw Zhu Jinzhao's corpse.
"boom--"
A rumble of thunder rolled menacingly across the night sky overhead, and a few seconds later, a torrential downpour began.
The dense raindrops pounded on Zhu Jinzhao's body, and the glaring blood mixed with the rainwater flowed all over the ground.
"now!!!"
Shi Jing's voice suddenly rang out from behind.
Shi Fei froze, thinking to himself, "It's over."
"now!!"
Shi Jing rushed over like a madman in the heavy rain, but before he even reached Zhu Jinzhao's corpse, the strong smell of blood made his legs go weak.
"Smack!"
He fell awkwardly into the blood.
Shi Fei clenched his fists and did not go up to help him.
He knelt on the ground and crawled to Zhu Jinzhao's side, holding her cold body tightly in his arms.
"now!!"
"Wake up, Jinzhao!!"
Wishing you a prosperous day!
"Ha—" Shi Fei exclaimed, suddenly waking up from his dream.
The rain has stopped, the sun is shining brightly outside the window, and birds are chirping sweetly.
But Shi Jing's heart-wrenching cries still lingered in his mind.
"Phew..." He wiped the sweat from his forehead, threw off the covers, and got out of bed.
It was already past 11 a.m., and he had missed the scheduled meeting. But he wasn't worried about that; instead, he immediately picked up his phone and made a video call to Shi Jing.
"Dad, why are you calling me so early?"
In the video, Shi Jing is driving, and Zhu Jinzhao is sitting in the passenger seat to his right, smiling and waving to him.
Hello, Uncle.
Shi Fei smiled and nodded: "Good day. Are you and Shi Jing going out shopping?"
"No," Shi Jing replied, "Something came up at home today, so I have to go back."
"Go back?" Shi Fei's brow twitched. For some reason, the moment he heard Zhu Jinzhao was going home, he inexplicably thought of the nightmare from last night.
"Why go back? Isn't your variety show supposed to start filming tomorrow?"
