Chapter 328: Chapter 328: I Just Ask You, Have You Found the Child?

The two houses were just next door to each other, and Xu Tian had just escorted Cheng Zhiwei back.

Cheng Zhiwei got out of the car and went home.

She hadn’t walked far when someone dragged her into the shadows of the trees.

She was startled, but when she regained her composure, she realized it was Zhou Lin.

An unshakable presence.

Cheng Zhiwei was very annoyed and gave him an unhappy look, "Are you sick, Zhou Lin? We’re already divorced, and yet you lurk around here time after time, scaring me like this. Do you want me to call the police?"

Zhou Lin tightened his grip on her shoulders, lowering his head to look at her with a glimpse of flame flickering in his eyes.

He was a bit off.

Cheng Zhiwei immediately became vigilant, swatted Zhou Lin’s hand away, and stepped back two paces, saying with disgust, "Don’t come here again, it’s really annoying."

But before she could leave, Zhou Lin pulled her back again; this time, his arm wrapped around her waist, and her chin was yanked up.

He didn’t speak, just looked down at her, his gaze dark and unclear in the shadows.

Cheng Zhiwei smelled the alcohol on him.

He had been drinking and was playing the drunkard.

Cheng Zhiwei couldn’t shake free, and with a bad headache, she just looked at him, the corners of her eyes slightly upturned with irony, "Zhou Lin, if you have the ability to get Seo Zhenzhen out, then you should just stay by her side. Why bother me? You can’t be content with what you have but crave for more. How despicable can you get?"

She cursed fiercely because she truly despised him.

Although the matter of Seo Zhenzhen being sent away had yet to be verified, Cheng Zhiwei knew that He Lanzhi wouldn’t lie.

He Lanzhi hated her and couldn’t wait to see her struggle, knowing exactly what would upset and distress her, so Seo Zhenzhen must have indeed been sent away.

Cheng Zhiwei did not doubt that it was Zhou Lin’s doing.

"You’re saying Seo Zhenzhen was sent out?" Zhou Lin finally spoke up, his voice hoarse and tinged with disbelief.

To Cheng Zhiwei, he was lying.

"Zhou Lin, we’re already divorced. If you want to protect Seo Zhenzhen, you can do so openly. There’s really no need to lie and play both sides like this, really."

"I said I don’t know about this matter," Zhou Lin retorted with a darkened face, frowning in explanation.

He took out his phone and called Secretary Zhang to check on it.

But his arm was still tightly clutching Cheng Zhiwei.

A few minutes later, Secretary Zhang’s call came in.

Zhou Lin put the call on speaker in front of Cheng Zhiwei and asked in a grave voice, "What exactly happened?"

"I just called and asked, and they said it was your idea."

The verdict was set.

Contempt spread over Cheng Zhiwei’s face as her sarcastic expression turned to one of disgust, "Zhou Lin, how else do you want to defend yourself, to lie?"

Secretary Zhang suddenly fell silent, genuinely unaware that Cheng Zhiwei was present.

The call was ended.

Secretary Zhang felt a chill down his spine, already imagining the anger and resentment he would face from President Zhou the next day.

"I didn’t, I don’t know anything about Seo Zhenzhen’s situation," Zhou Lin explained.

But that was all the pale defense he could muster.

Because it truly wasn’t him, and he still didn’t know who it was.

Yet the blame was firmly placed on his head.

Cheng Zhiwei burst into sneering laughter, looking at him with contempt, "The illustrious President of Zhou Group, daring to do things but not to admit them, Zhou Lin, you really continue to impress me."

The sarcasm in her tone caused Zhou Lin’s face to darken in an instant.

While he socialized, the image of her kissing He Ye was fixed in his mind, and the anger that had already been smoldering within him flared up as he was wrongfully accused.

"Cheng Zhiwei, if you say it’s me, fine, please bring out the evidence."

"Secretary Zhang’s word is evidence. Do you think he’d collude with the police to frame you?" Cheng Zhiwei nearly shouted, her eyes red with emotion.

She was at the pinnacle of feeling wronged, and also of hating.

He couldn’t bear to part with Seo Zhenzhen, so why not just pamper her, instead of pretending to be deeply affectionate in front of her?

"Calm down and give me some time, I will give you a result."

"No need, I know exactly what you’ve done, I won’t trust you again."

From the shadows, Cheng Zhiwei looked distant and cold, the distrust piercing deep into Zhou Lin’s eyes.

But his explanations, Cheng Zhiwei refused to listen to at all.

"Zhiwei."

"When will you be done?" Cheng Zhiwei suddenly lashed out, not knowing where the strength came from, she pushed Zhou Lin away, her exhausted gaze hysterical.

"I just want to ask you one question, did you find the child?"

Zhou Lin pursed his lips, his throat choked up, and he spoke with difficulty, "No."

Cheng Zhiwei lifted her chin, scoffing with disdain, "Look, you have time to rescue Seo Zhenzhen, have time to come here and bully me, but you still can’t find a child."

"Actually, you probably didn’t even look, did you? After all, you already have Zhou Ruoki, right, and Cheng Yang and Cheng Xing are also your children, you already have three children, whether he can be found or not, you just don’t care."

"Stop disgusting me with that pretense of deep feelings."

"I’ve already sent people to look for the child, I’ll tell you the moment I have any results."

"Zhou Lin, there’s no outsiders here, can you stop the act?" Cheng Zhiwei said with laughter tinged with anger, "By releasing Seo Zhenzhen, aren’t you trying to tell me that she’s the only one you care about?"

"Fine, I’ll let you two be. Once the child is found, I’ll take them and leave this place for good, I won’t be in your way at all."

As Cheng Zhiwei vented her emotions, Zhou Lin’s expression grew worse and worse.

Was she going to leave? With He Ye?

Those words were really unpleasant to hear.

So he simply bowed his head and covered her mouth with his.

Cheng Zhiwei was not about to obediently comply, and she fought back fiercely, with the taste of iron spreading quickly in her mouth.

Zhou Lin paused, then tilted his head back and stepped away, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth. His cold, chiseled side profile was distinct, and he raised his hand to touch Cheng Zhiwei’s forehead, "You have a fever."

"Mind your own business," Cheng Zhiwei responded icily.

She was of course aware that she had a fever, as her head was pounding terribly and she felt chills intermittently.

If it weren’t for Zhou Lin, she would have already taken medicine and gone to sleep.

The next second, she was lifted by Zhou Lin and placed into the car.

"Back to Sparkling Sky City," Zhou Lin ordered.

Cheng Zhiwei’s punching and kicking were of no use, Zhou Lin took it all. Eventually, he simply picked her up and confined her in his arms, "Just behave."

Her fever rose swiftly. Within about ten minutes, the temperature on her forehead became scorching, her cheeks flushed, and her strength waned.

A softness spread through the bottom of Zhou Lin’s heart, and he loosened his hold.

Upon arrival at Sparkling Sky City, Zhang Yuanheng conducted a basic check-up, left medicine there, and couldn’t help admonishing Zhou Lin as he left, "Stop tormenting her, haven’t you forgotten the way you bullied her before?"

At that time, Cheng Zhiwei was in and out of the hospital every few days, and Zhang Yuanheng feared the day she would simply not pull through.

To think it was starting all over again.

For him as a doctor, it was truly hard.
