Chapter 124 Every step is his way to save himself

The silver Maybach merges into the traffic.

Zhou Yili's knuckles turned white as he clenched the phone, and his palms ached from the repeated busy tones.

Fu Chen saw the past Zhou Yili in him.

Zhou Yili without Shen Jixing.

"…Hey, Xiao Que."

Fu Chen answered the call by pressing the headset. The voice on the other end sounded like someone who had just woken up, a little hoarse and a little soft.

"Where have you been, Chuchu?"

Fu Chen's face was still cold and indifferent. He stepped on the accelerator to move forward steadily.

But her tone was a little softer, "Sorry, I have something to do temporarily, you go to sleep first."

Sheng Que was silent for a while on the other end, after all, he knew that he was very busy and work was his most important thing.

He lay on the pillow in a sullen mood, "Fu Chen, my butt hurts so much..."

“…”

Fu Chen's consciousness rolled slightly under his Adam's apple.

A rare look of discomfort appeared on his face. "Be good, take a rest first and wait for me to come back."

Then he hung up the phone without waiting for Sheng Que to speak.

Sheng Que: “???”

Are you rebelling?!

On this side, Fu Chen calmly took off his headphones. After hesitating for a moment, he explained softly, trying to divert Zhou Yili's attention.

Lest he get himself into trouble.

"It was Xiao Que's phone call. He... was sick, and I didn't tell him."

Otherwise, given Sheng Que's level of anger, I'm afraid he would have to come even with crutches.

Zhou Yili nodded calmly and continued to repeat the movements mechanically.

"Your Bluetooth is not connected."

“…”

The carriage fell into deathly silence.

Zhou Yili put the phone upside down on his lap and raised his hand to cover his eyes. "Congratulations. Tell us everything when you get back."

Tell us.

Fu Chen nodded: "Okay, I will."

Zhou Yili remained silent. Fu Chen caught a glimpse of a blush on his face. He hesitated and asked, "How much do you know about Bo Yu?"

Fu Chen wanted to give him a vaccination.

But he never expected that Zhou Yili had already checked this man's background.

"The eldest son of the Bo family in Qinghuai City was retaliated against. He is ruthless and cruel. His industrial chain likes to touch the black edge of the law. However, he is also a great philanthropist. He is a black and white character."

Zhou Yili said: "He likes Shen Jixing, right?"

Fu Chen began to look at him with some respect.

Males are indeed unusually sensitive to their competitors.

But he said, “I don’t think so.”

The car stopped outside the villa area, and Fu Chen said to him as he pressed the safety button -

"If you like someone, would you be willing to hurt him all over?"

It was like a heavy hammer falling.

Zhou Yili's brain buzzed with a sound: "What does that mean?"

He thought all his suffering was over.

But the moment he began to explore, it seemed as if the pain had just begun.

"Where are you going?"

"Where are you going?" I asked.

What lay before them was clearly a luxurious villa.

But Fu Chen walked towards the darkest and most remote corner without even looking. That was the only place in the entire villa where no light could reach.

"Aren't we going to the place where he lived?" Zhou Yili grabbed his shoulders with frightening force.

Fu Chen was not angry.

He just calmly told Zhou Yili, "This is where he lived."

"The time he lived here..."

Fu Chen said softly, "Longer than you think."

The grip on my shoulders loosened.

As Fu Chen turned around, the bodyguard in the villa ran over with an iron rod in his hand, "Who are you? Who let you in? Get out—"

A strong wind swept past Fu Chen's side before he could make any move.

The bodyguard was kicked three meters away.

Zhou Yili picked up the iron bar on the ground and raised his scarlet and cold eyes, "Get out of the way."

Several bodyguards guarding the door: "..."

It's going to fall anyway.

They feel like they will fall down if the wind blows over them.

Zhou Yili walked up the damp and cold stairs and could clearly feel the temperature getting lower and lower.

Zhou Yili stumbled on a slippery step at the corner.

Fu Chen asked, "Are you okay?"

"You didn't lie to me?"

Fu Chen knew what he meant, but he always believed that even a white lie was meaningless.

"I never lie, and neither does Shen Jixing."

But Shen Jixing never told him.

Shen Jixing thought it was unnecessary.

If he didn't need Fu Chen's network of contacts, he would have just broken these things and swallowed them alone, and no one else would have had the possibility of knowing them.

Zhou Yili saw that there was no one at the end of the darkness, but he seemed to see Shen Jixing sitting there quietly.

"Where were you during the month you were away from me?"

"Thinking of you."

Fu Chen saw him walking towards the mechanical device and hurriedly called out to him, "Don't touch it!"

A thin stream of electric current fell on Zhou Yili's hand, causing the iron rod in his hand to fall to the ground, and his arm was instantly torn into pieces.

Even Fu Chen was shocked, "What the hell is this..."

His voice paused, as if he had thought of something.

"Zhou Yili, calm down. The most urgent thing now is—"

He thought the young, reckless little lion would get out of control.

But he didn't.

Zhou Yili simply shook his hands to shake off all the blood drops, then took out his cell phone from his pocket and made a call.

"Hello."

A solemn and cold voice came, "You idiot, you still know that I'm going to beat you—"

"I agree to your request," Zhou Yili said, "but I have one request."

Zhou Hengyang paused for a second, then spoke in a much softer tone, "You have a conscience. You know that I am old and my body is not…"

Zhou Yili interrupted impatiently, "Look for a person named Bo Yu, and suspend all flights with his name."

“…”

Fu Chen's eyes paused.

As someone who had worked hard to get to the top, it turned out that he was not as capable as the young masters of wealthy families.

But he didn't expect that even a tough guy like Zhou Yili would let go of his grudges and reconcile with his father.

"What nonsense are you talking about, you little bastard? It's an international flight, and I just said to suspend it? Are you a god?"

Zhou Yili was silent for two seconds and said, "Isn't my father a god-like existence?"

Zhou Hengyang fell silent.

After a moment he said coldly, "You'd better keep your word."

The call was disconnected.

Zhou Yili took a final look at the basement, blood from his fingertips dripping onto the wet ground, "Let's go."

"The villa hasn't been searched yet, how do you know he's left?"

"Bo Yu's influence has mostly shifted overseas. I thought he was leaving, so I've been neglecting it recently..."

Zhou Yili just didn't expect that he would be so heartbroken.

"The villa's alarm was off and the bodyguards were just going through the motions."

Fu Chen said: "You have grown up. I thought you would be as panic-stricken as before."

But he didn't.

Since Zhou Yili couldn't find Shen Jixing, he began to look for surveillance, the cemetery, and his Shen Jixing in an orderly manner.

"I have a question, too."

Zhou Yili stood in the cold and damp basement, looking up at the only light above his head.

"That door was leaking. The month he was away was the rainy season, and it was even a rare rainstorm. How did he get out in the end?"

Fu Chen raised his eyes and looked towards the door of the basement.

They came in such a hurry that even Fu Chen didn't notice that the door was leaking. He just heard Shen Jixing describe it...

This was the first time that Fu Chen wanted to tell a lie.

"Maybe someone..."

"Uncle." Zhou Yili interrupted him, "Tell me."

Fu Chen's Adam's apple moved slightly, and suddenly he couldn't utter a word.

He watched Zhou Yili step onto the stairs step by step.

The damp and cold steps were washed by the rain, drowning the entire world in black. A pair of cold white hands grasped the stone steps tightly, struggling to break free from the handcuffs and climbing up.

"Every step you take is a path he has taken to save himself."

Fu Chen said this to him.

Zhou Yili had never shed even a single tear in front of others.

Fu Chen saw him walk to the door of the basement and was about to push open the door that blocked out all the light.

Zhou Yili held the handle and did not move for a long time.

Finally, he seemed unable to hold on any longer and sobbed bitterly, resting his head on the back of his hands.
