Chapter 313 You're Just a Control Freak
As soon as Zhou Jiuzhen finished speaking, he looked up and met Ling Huanwu's eyes, which she had opened at some point.
"Huanwu!"
The next second, he let out a howl and threw himself on Ling Huanwu, bursting into tears.
Political Commissar Hao was so frightened that he was afraid the two of them would come after him later, so he quickly ran out of the tent.
Ling Huanwu wiped her face, which was covered in tears, and she sobbed in disgust.
"Your wife isn't dead, what are you doing?"
But Zhou Jiuzhen ignored him and held the woman in his arms even tighter. "You're not allowed to force me to act anymore. You pushed me to someone else. I thought you really didn't want me anymore and left..."
Although the two had planned in advance to set a trap to make Qin Jinshen show up on his own, his ignoring her was just an act.
But when he heard the military doctor say, according to the pre-arranged script, that she had miscarried, he felt a real sense of his heart being sliced apart inch by inch, which terrified him so much that he almost burst into tears.
He never wanted to experience that kind of torture again in his life.
When he returned to the shed, he saw that she was not there, and at that moment, his soul seemed to be ripped away.
"Huanwu, we were just acting, right? You won't leave me, right?"
Zhou Jiuzhen held her, still trying to verify.
Ling Huanwu was so tightly held by him that she could hardly breathe. She repeatedly assured him that she would not, and only then did he release her with a sigh of relief.
"I need to see Qin Jinshen..."
Ling Huanwu propped herself up and went to put on her shoes. Zhou Jiuzhen, who was still wiping away tears, froze, grabbed her left ankle, and lifted her onto the bed.
"You're not allowed to go! You're not allowed to see that serial killer!"
Zhou Jiuzhen got up, puffed out his cheeks, and dragged her left leg toward the canvas bed, determined not to let her leave.
Ling Huanwu refused to listen to him and struggled to put on her shoes by getting off her right leg.
Just a side note: stretch out like a compass to its maximum extent, and make the biggest strategic move.
Outside the tent, the military doctor, pushed in by Political Commissar Hao, was completely petrified when he saw the scene inside.
From his perspective, these two were so awful that anyone else would want to gouge their own eyes out.
"Hmm, hmm, hmm... hmm hmm..."
The military doctor coughed violently behind the two men.
The coughing sound seemed to be shouting:
"Zhou Jiuzhen, what are you doing? Your wife's body can't take this! Let her go right now..."
Upon hearing the military doctor's cough, Zhou Jiuzhen and Ling Huanwu were so startled that one immediately sat up straight and the other stood up properly.
Both of them seemed to understand the medic's coded message, and blushed with embarrassment.
"Dr. Guan, has no one told you that it's very impolite to enter a room without knocking?"
The medic looked around at his tattered tent. "But this is my tent! Do I need to knock to get back to my own tent? Besides, this tent door doesn't even make a sound when I knock!"
Two sentences, each word brimming with helplessness.
Zhou Jiuzhen felt utterly ashamed to face anyone.
With that gossipy talker of the medic, the whole unit will be talking about their embarrassing affair in someone else's tent by tomorrow morning.
But the military doctor had no idea what he was thinking, and hurriedly told him the extremely urgent matter that Political Commissar Hao had just pushed him in to report.
"Battalion Commander Zhou, Comrade Su just... just now he really couldn't think straight and jumped into the sea. This time it's for real. Shouldn't you go and see him right away?"
Zhou Jiuzhen and Ling Huanwu exchanged a glance, both speechless.
If Su Haiting dies, the authenticity of the treasure map and many other mysteries will remain unsolved.
On the cliff by the sea.
The sea breeze howled.
Zhou Jiuzhen stared at the empty cliff, his temples throbbing.
When Su Haiting was pulled out of the water, Old Lady Su rushed over, grabbed Zhou Jiuzhen by the collar, and demanded that he pay with his life.
"Why did Haiting do all this? She only did it because she likes you. Why can't you accept her because of Haidi!"
Grandma Su cried out in anguish, her cries echoing across the entire cliff top.
Zhou Jiuzhen breathed a sigh of relief when he learned that the woman on the ground was still breathing.
If something really happens to his good brother's sister, and he really goes to the underworld, he won't have the face to face Hai Di...

Next to the public toilet, a dilapidated shack is on the verge of collapse.
The room was filled with buckets of excrement that the villagers had brought during the day, and the whole place reeked of a foul stench that was nauseating.
Because it was one of the few houses that was not damaged after the storm surge, it was temporarily used as a place of detention.
Qin Jinshen was locked in this room, his hands cuffed to a latrine bucket, his whole body splattered with excrement, looking utterly wretched.
The door lock clicked open, and as soon as he looked up, he met Ling Huanwu's almond-shaped red eyes.
Qin Jinshen lowered his eyes and looked at his disheveled appearance, his eyes immediately reddening, wishing he could find a hole to crawl into.
He begged her to come see him.
But he didn't even have the courage to see her.
Sunlight streamed in from outside, casting its glow onto the dirty floor inside.
Ling Huanwu slowly entered the house, her steps still a little unsteady.
Looking down at the once arrogant and influential figure of the port city, now locked next to a latrine, she was filled with mixed emotions.
"Qin Jinshen, tell me, tell me where you hid Xiao Wang and Tie Dan?"
She crouched down, trying to suppress her nausea and anger, but in order to find Xiao Wang and the others, she had to find out where they were!
"Qin Jinshen, what do you want in exchange for revealing the whereabouts of Xiao Wang and the others?"
Qin Jinshen lowered his eyes, his eyelashes trembled, and a self-deprecating smile curled his pale lips. "I told you, as long as you divorce Zhou Jiuzhen, I will reveal their whereabouts!"
"Qin Jinshen, do you think you're so affectionate, and that what you've done is so touching?"
Ling Huanwu stared into his eyes, her gaze firm and merciless. "Actually, you don't realize that you don't love me. I'm just the first person who wasn't under your control and didn't die at your hands. You just want to possess me, tame me, and make me your puppet!"
"Once you get me, you'll despise and abandon me! Your affection, your self-proclaimed deep love, is nothing but your possessiveness. You're just a complete control freak!"
"No! No!"
Qin Jinshen's body tensed, and he dragged the handcuffs to the latrine bucket as he lost control and protested, "I'm not that kind of person. My feelings for you weren't just control; I really..."
"Don't utter those disgusting words, Qin Jinshen!"
Ling Huanwu raised her voice, loudly interrupting him, her large, watery almond-shaped eyes bloodshot, "If you were a normal person with feelings, how could you not save your sister, but instead come to bother me?"
"If you like me, why would you get rid of the people I care about?"
"Qin Jinshen! If you truly love someone, would you stab her in the heart?"
"You! You are an incurable demon!"
Each word was like a heavy hammer blow.
Qin Jinshen's face was deathly pale, one hand clutching his chest as he gasped for breath.
For the first time, tears rolled down my cheeks uncontrollably.
He shook his head frantically, trying to explain, but as soon as he opened his mouth, blood gushed out.
Ling Huanwu looked at Qin Jinshen, who was lying on the ground, pale, broken, and desperate, and her heart and eyes were filled with resentment.
She wiped away her tears, overwhelmed by endless exhaustion and despair.
She originally thought that if she said that, Qin Jinshen would have a change of heart and reveal their whereabouts.
Unexpectedly, Qin Jinshen refused to say a word and stubbornly refused to budge.
Ling Huanwu swayed, turned to leave, but a pair of hands reached out from the ground and suddenly grabbed her ankles tightly. "I'll tell you where they are..."
