Chapter 417 Zhou Yanli Wakes Up (Finale)
"Don't worry."
Zhou Shuang knew that this time, apart from the Zhou family of Haicheng, no one could bring Fu Yu back.
Fu Yu was captured in Ravi and locked up in a water dungeon. He was covered in wounds and his eyes were so swollen that he could hardly open them.
"You dare to cause trouble in my territory? I think you are really brave."
The man opposite was smoking a cigar and looking at Fu Yu with eyes full of cunning and viciousness.
Fu Yu looked at "Hei Yu", who was rumored to be Feng Jie's husband. This man was a senior executive here, the core figure closest to the boss, and also Feng Jie's backer.
Fu Yu stared at the man and kept smiling.
"why are you laughing?"
"Hei Yu" was angry, but Fu Yu looked disdainful.
"It's understandable that you're defending a woman, but don't you know how many times your woman has cheated on you?"
"Hei Yu" lashed Fu Yu fiercely with the whip in his hand.
"You're talking nonsense! My wife is living a peaceful life in the inland. If she hadn't run into you, these self-righteous rich kids, relying on your influence in the inland, she wouldn't have fled here. You still dare to be stubborn? Wait until I whip you 300 times, and you'll know that by the end, you'll have nothing left but your mouth."
The man smiled grimly, and lashed Fu Yu mercilessly with the whip in his hand without stopping for a moment.
Fu Yu clenched his teeth and finally fainted.
Hei Yu looked at his subordinates and said, "Splash water on him to wake him up. Don't let him die. I will slowly torture him until he dies. Let him know what will happen to those who touch me, Hei Yu."
Hei Yu had just calmed down to catch his breath when suddenly someone came hurriedly from outside.
"Brother, it's bad. There are dozens of helicopters hovering outside. Our brothers have been ambushed—"
The person who rushed in to report was already incoherent.
He stumbled, his expression showing fear.
Hei Yu took out the cigar from his mouth, cursed and rushed out immediately.
When he arrived outside the villa in a rage, the area, which was guarded by many people with almost every post being a sentry, was in chaos.
Above his head, there was a black mass of helicopters. Several black-clad bodyguards on board were holding heavy machine guns and were aiming at Hei Yu's subordinates. There was also a group of people on the ground who had already beaten his men to the point where they could not move.
Dozens of subordinates had no ability to fight back when facing this group of people. They didn't even have the chance to draw their guns.
Hei Yu was shocked when he heard a voice above his head.
"Hei Yu, hand the person over."
Hei Yu was still pretending to be stupid. He picked up his gun at lightning speed and tried to sweep the helicopter that was talking to him, but what he got in return was a volley of bullets that instantly knocked him to his knees.
"Who are you?"
Dozens of helicopters were parked on the ground outside. A group of people surrounded the tall man in the middle and walked towards him.
"Where's the person I want?"
The man spoke coldly, his face was cold and handsome, like a nighthawk spreading his black wings, making the sun and moon dim.
Hei Yu tried to pretend to be confused until the cold muzzle of the gun was pressed against his forehead.
"I'll ask you again, do you want to recruit it yourself, or do you want me to find it?"
Hei Yu was used to being fierce, but when faced with the gun, he knelt down instantly.
"Bring that kid up here."
He was helpless and could not care about Fu Yu in order to save his life.
When the bodyguards brought Fu Yu to the hall, he was already dying.
Fu Yu was whipped until he was covered in blood, and his originally handsome facial features were swollen beyond recognition.
But the man still recognized Fu Yu at a glance. Even though he had seen countless bloody scenes, he was still shocked by the fact that Hei Yu tortured Fu Yu to the point where almost all his body was broken.
"Take him away and repay tenfold for any torture he has inflicted on others."
Hei Yu was shocked: "Let me go, do you know who I am? If you catch me today, I will kill your whole family tomorrow."
The man curled his lips and said lightly: "I'm afraid you don't have that ability. Besides, you have been removed from the list by your superior. He dare not refuse to give me the person I want."
At this time, someone came over, escorting a woman dressed in jewels.
It’s Fengjie.
Hei Yu became even more angry: "Let go of my wife."
Fengjie looked as pale as death. She didn't expect that she could be found even though she had escaped here.
"Take them on the plane."
Hei Yu's face instantly lost all color.
"What are you going to do? Where are you taking us?"
The man said calmly: "Return to your country and stand trial."
Hei Yu and Feng Jie collapsed to the ground as if struck by lightning.
"You, you have no right to do that. Who are you?"
On the plane, Fu Yu finally regained some consciousness thanks to the full treatment of medical staff.
He thought he was going to die, but when he opened his eyes he found that he seemed not to be dead.
In the blur, the figure in front seemed familiar.
It was not until he opened his red and swollen eyes and finally saw the face of the person who came that he was shocked beyond words.
The man's cold face finally softened a little.
"Don't worry, you're safe. Go back to Haicheng, your uncle is waiting."
The cold voice was the same as the one he heard with Zhou Shuang twenty years ago, and Fu Yu still remembered the man's face clearly.
However, Fu Yu did not expect that he would meet Shuangshuang's father in such an embarrassing situation.
He spoke in a hoarse voice.
"Uncle Zhou."
Zhou Yanli replied calmly, "Well, don't talk anymore. Save your energy and go back to talk later."
Fu Yu had previously thought he was dreaming, but now he was certain it was Zhou Yanli himself. He couldn't help but blurt out, "Fuck, when did you wake up?"
When Zhou Yanli frowned and wanted to look at him again, Fu Yu had already tilted his head and fainted again.
Haicheng
In the ward, the crying sound coming from Fu Yu's ears made him upset. It seemed as if there was a heavy object pressing on his body, making it difficult for him to breathe. Various dreams were intertwined in his sleep, and he didn't know where he was or where he was.
When he opened his eyes again, he saw a big furry head. He couldn't help but say, "It's so noisy, Qi Luoyan, can't you just leave me alone?"
Qi Luoyan stared at Fu Yu with tears in her eyes.
"You even said that if I hadn't begged my aunt for help, you would have lost your life. Fu Yu, are you trying to scare me to death?"
Fu Yu wanted to reach out and wipe her tears, but found that his whole body was covered with plaster and he couldn't move at all.
He wanted to continue arguing with Qi Luoyan, but after thinking about it, he finally sighed and said leisurely: "Qi Luoyan, be my girlfriend."
Qi Luo'e was stunned: "What?"
"Be my girlfriend, or marry me."
Haicheng Zhou Family
Old Master Zhou sat happily in the main seat. The round table, which could accommodate nearly twenty people, was already occupied. The Zhou family had not been so lively for a long time.
Chen Yi and Chen Xuan have always been with Grandpa Zhou. There are two empty seats on the old man's right, and Zhou Shuang and Qi Huaijing are on his left.
"Grandpa, could you please be quiet for a moment? Is that chair meant for your butt?"
Chen Yi watched his great-grandfather get up and down from the table at least dozens of times. Old Man Zhou couldn't sit still at all. After a while, he stood up again and stretched his neck to watch. Chen Yi felt that playing whack-a-mole was not as fast as his great-grandfather getting up and sitting down.
Mr. Zhou can't wait any longer.
"Why hasn't he arrived yet, Shuangshuang? Call your mom again and urge her to come back. Didn't she say she could be discharged from the hospital today?"
The corners of Zhou Shuang's lips twitched slightly. Qi Huaijing came closer and whispered, "Discharge?"
His father-in-law has been awake for nearly a week, and he was discharged from the hospital today. Look at this old man, his neck is almost as long as a giraffe.
"Well, Daddy wanted to do something, so we kept it a secret from Great Grandpa. We didn't let him know when he woke up."
Otherwise, no one would go to save Fu Yu. Brother Fu Yu is lucky. It's not that Lin Shu doesn't want to save him, but she can't go to that kind of place. But Zhou Yanli is different. What's more, there are mercenaries given by Uncle Sheng Shaoting. She knows that Daddy will definitely be able to bring the person back safely.
"Don't be impatient, old man. I just called and I'll be there in five minutes."
Sheng Shaoting strode in from outside. The old man didn't expect Sheng Shaoting to come, so he immediately stood up from his chair.
"Okay, nephew, I believe you. These people are just talking nonsense and trying to deceive me, an old man."
Everyone at the table, especially Chen Yi, looked at Mr. Zhou sinisterly.
"You didn't tell me when you were happy, but now you blame us for being dishonest. You just like to hear lies, but you don't like the truth."
Mr. Zhou glared at him.
"What are you talking about, little brat? I'm telling you, I'm old. If you were a few years younger, I'd whip you until you crawl on the ground."
Chen Yi was not afraid of Mr. Zhou's intimidating look at all, and spoke calmly.
"If I were you, I'd save my energy. The guy you want to beat till he crawls on the ground is coming soon. Don't cry then."
Old Master Zhou was so angry that he was fuming, but he couldn't do anything about his great-grandson.
The butler came in and the servants hurried up.
Mr. Zhou realized something, and sure enough, the housekeeper said in a trembling voice, "Here they come, old man, the master and his wife are back."
Mr. Zhou was so excited that the tea cup fell onto the table.
A figure walked in from the door, holding the hand of a woman with an outstanding figure.
Zhou Yanli was followed by Lin Shu, and everyone stood up.
The moment the old man saw Zhou Yanli, he burst into tears.
"grandson--"
The old man growled, and Chen Yi whispered, "Where's the whip? Where are the family rules?"
Chen Xuan kicked him from below, and Chen Yi immediately shut up.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the old man didn't care about their eyes and rushed over to hug Zhou Yanli: "Stinky boy, now that you know you're awake, don't you even want this old bone of mine anymore?"
Everyone saw that Mr. Zhou, who had once dominated the business world, was now crying like a child.
Only at this moment did Zhou Yanli let go of Lin Shu and hugged Old Man Zhou.
"Grandpa, I'm back."
Old Master Zhou was very disappointed with his son, but at this moment everything turned into tears of happiness.
"It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back. Lin Shu, bring your husband to the table."
Chen Yi and Zhou Yanli had almost the same brows tightly furrowed.
"Husband? Isn't that my ex-husband?"
The corner of Chen Xuan's lips twitched, and she quickly picked up a piece of meat and stuffed it into his mouth fiercely.
"If you don't speak, no one will think you are dumb."
Chen Yi spat it out.
"So, they're going to get married again, right? I'm not going to be the golden boy."
"Eat yours."
Chen Xuan couldn't stand it any longer and almost kicked Chen Yi out.
Zhou Shuang heard it all clearly and tried hard to hold back her laughter.
After finally getting seated, Lin Shu turned his indifferent face towards Zhou Yanli.
"Can you let me go?"
Zhou Yanli looked at her and said, "Not for now. Let's talk after dinner."
Lin Shu snorted, "How can I eat if you don't let me go?"
An expression that only a scoundrel could have flashed across Zhou Yanli's face.
"I can feed you."
Chen Yi rolled his eyes and said, "A man half his age showing off his affection, how shameless!"
Chen Xuan was furious and felt that Zhou Chenyi should not be allowed to eat this meal.
"Okay, the kids are here, could you please behave yourself?"
It's time to have a good talk. Over the years, she has several accounts to settle with him.
After Zhou Yanli sat down, he looked at the people around him one by one.
The first person he saw was Sheng Shaoting, his current wife and two sons.
"Brother, sister-in-law."
Sheng Shaoting nodded slightly, and the scene of Zhou Yanli desperately looking for him for Lin Shu several times came to his mind. Then he turned his head and whispered to his wife.
His gaze then slid to Chen Yi and Chen Xuan. Chen Xuan looked at Zhou Yanli with curiosity, but still said in a sweet voice, "Daddy."
It was Zhou Chenyi's turn. He looked at Zhou Yanli for a long time and said, "So I'll be as handsome as you when I'm in my forties?"
His bland words made everyone laugh. In the end, Chen Yi was very reluctant and called "Daddy" out of courtesy. He didn't say anything after that.
Chen Xuan didn't know what was going on in his mind, but she didn't dare to take her attention away from Chen Yi for a moment, for fear that he would make some trouble.
Zhou Shuang looked at Zhou Yanli, her eyes moist. She couldn't cry on such a happy day.
“Daddy—”
Qi Huaijing felt Zhou Shuang gently touching his hand, and he finally came back to his senses from his deep thoughts: "Dad."
Only Qi Huaijing himself knows how much love and hate are contained in this one word.
Zhou Yanli fixed his gaze on Qi Huaijing, and inexplicably felt that the son-in-law in front of him looked familiar.
"Have we met before?"
Qi Huaijing looked at Lin Shu, and Zhou Yanli instinctively protected his beloved woman. He didn't like this kind of scrutiny, even if it was a son-in-law looking at his mother-in-law.
"More than ten years ago, when I was watching the rally on my niece's behalf, I gave flowers to her mother."
Qi Huaijing calmly talked about the past. He said half a sentence and then stopped talking.
What I'm going to say next is about my father-in-law's embarrassing past.
Zhou Shuang was afraid that Qi Huaijing would continue to bring it up, so she quickly raised her glass: "Daddy, Great Grandpa, let's have a drink together."
The old man was so happy that he couldn't hear any tension between his great-grandson-in-law and his grandson. He was the elder of everyone. He picked up the cup and shed tears of happiness.
"No one is allowed to say anything unlucky on such a happy day. Our family is finally reunited. Let's drink together and not leave until we're drunk."
In the joyful atmosphere, blessings were heard one after another at the table.
Old Master Zhou finally had a drink to his heart's content after all these years since Zhou Yanli fell into a coma.
It was late at night and everyone returned to their rooms.
Zhou Yanli knocked on Lin Shu's door but was blocked at the entrance.
"Are you planning to sleep in a separate room from me?"
Lin Shu said coldly, "You and I are not husband and wife now, so there is no such thing as separate rooms."
Zhou Yanli's handsome face froze for a moment. Even though there was a hint of sadness, his face still looked the same as before.
"Shushu, let's talk."
Lin Shu shuddered, this sentence seemed familiar.
Zhou Yanli's expression had softened considerably, unlike the ruthless robbery he had shown many years ago. His tone was full of respect, even a little servile.
Lin Shu finally opened the door and let him in.
Having not seen each other for more than 20 years, the two of them didn't know what to say for a moment.
In the end, it was Zhou Yanli who spoke.
"During these years when you were in a coma, I listened to every word you said. Shushu, I've let you down."
Lin Shu didn't know what she was expecting, but the apology really broke her defenses.
"And then? Nothing? You've been hiding in a world of nothingness all these years, sleeping soundly and leaving everyone to me. What are you going to do?"
Zhou Yanli was moved. The fierceness and toughness in his expression were no longer there, replaced by the tenderness of a father and a husband.
He gently took her hand and placed it on his chest.
"I will spend the rest of my life making up for all the mistakes I've made. I know I don't deserve your forgiveness, and I know you'll never forgive me in this lifetime. I don't want to ask you to reconcile with me for the sake of the children.
Shushu, you can hate me, everything, you can do whatever you want, but don't do it in a way that hurts yourself, okay?"
Lin Shu withdrew his hand and looked at him without any emotion.
"Zhou Yanli, you think too highly of yourself. I would never have hurt myself for you."
She turned around, but not a single tear could come out.
Over the years, she has learned to face all storms alone. After Zhou Yanli left, those storms disappeared.
The man she once thought would protect her from the wind and rain, turned out to be the one who brought all the storms.
Lin Shu turned slightly and bumped into Zhou Yanli's arms.
The familiar breath and smell surrounded her tightly. Her breathing stopped and she wanted to push him away, but he held her in his arms again.
"I accept all your punishment, no matter what the outcome. Shushu, I've already said I'll spend the rest of my life making up for what I owe you and our three children."
Lin Shu's pretty face was a little angry.
"How are you going to make amends?"
Zhou Yanli refused to let her go.
"you say."
Lin Shu was so angry that he laughed: "First, we will never remarry."
"good."
"Second, from now on, you are just the father of the children, and I am just their mother. There is no relationship between us."
"Can."
"Third, you are not allowed to interfere with my relationships with anyone of the opposite sex. Marriage is irrelevant to us."
Zhou Yanli frowned. He couldn't do that.
Seeing his hesitation, Lin Shu frowned provocatively: "What?"
Zhou Yanli was helpless. Lin Shu could see through his every expression and movement, so how should he act?
"Okay, whatever you say is what it is."
This was his compromise with her, not with others. If anyone dared to pursue the mother of his child, he would send him to Siberia to raise cattle.
"You can't touch me?"
The conditions became more and more harsh, and Zhou Yanli became annoyed when he heard them.
It had been more than 20 years, and when she woke up she actually wanted him to become a monk.
"No, it's impossible."
Zhou Yanli refused.
Lin Shu frowned coldly: "No?"
"Yes, I can't do this one. But I can do the others."
Lin Shu was furious: "Zhou Yanli, was everything I told you before just nonsense?"
Zhou Yanli's expression was very firm: "Those are irrelevant. If we don't remarry, everything I have is yours. I have nothing now. I can't go anywhere except relying on you.
There is no relationship between us, but we are the child's parents, and we are inseparable relatives. There is no problem with this. Marriage has nothing to do with each other. I will never marry again in this life. If you marry, as long as your man doesn't object to a threesome, I have no objection.
But asking me not to touch you, Lin Shu, is a matter of vital interest to me. It's only natural for me to take the initiative and fight for it. You might as well let me die if you're restricting me."
The originally silent old house was finally filled with the sound of quarreling. Zhou Shuang wanted to get up, but Qi Huaijing covered her ears.
"You're pregnant, so don't listen to what's happening outside."
Mr. Zhou drank and was drunk to the point of passing out. The other people in the old house clearly heard it, but they pretended to be confused and continued to sleep.
Only in the bedroom of the gentleman and his wife, the white woven light was turned off and on again, with a pause in between, and then the quarrel started again, until dawn.
