Chapter 447: Chapter 447: Do You Still Remember Yu Man?

Waves crashed against the shore rocks with a thunderous roar.

The salty tang of the sea filled the air, carried by the wind.

Black cars surrounded the area, sealing it off completely yet also dividing into two opposing factions.

But no one dared to move because Zhou Chenyan had a gun in her hand.

Although the gun was pointed at Lin Yu’s head, it was Zhou Chenyan who wanted Lin Yu to make a choice; she said whoever Lin Yu chose to die, that’s who would meet the bullet.

What choice did Lin Yu have, when both were her sons?

Even though she was extremely disappointed in Meng Qiancheng, she didn’t wish for his death.

The gun pressed heavily on Lin Yu’s head, and Zhou Chenyan’s excitement grew, "Ah Yu, if you don’t know who to choose, shall I help you?"

"Let’s see, perhaps we should pick Qiancheng, after all, he is the son of both you and me, and our family of three should be reunited," Zhou Chenyan’s cruel gaze fixed on Meng Qiancheng.

The dark muzzle was aimed at Meng Qiancheng, and his complexion slightly changed.

Zhou Chenyan saw that and smiled even more delightedly, then said, "No, no, that’s not good. If Qiancheng dies, everything of the Zhou Family will go to Zhou Lin again, and he is Zhou Chenyuan’s son—also not a good choice—let’s pick Zhou Lin instead."

Zhou Lin stood in the sea breeze with an expressionless face, watching the madwoman Zhou Chenyan point the gun at him.

He was indifferent to Zhou Chenyan’s threats.

Zhou Chenyan hated this kind of indifferent attitude the most, as if everything was under his control.

Just like his short-lived elder brother.

"Let’s go with Zhou Lin; he’s your favorite son, right, Ah Yu? Why don’t you accompany him to death, okay?" Zhou Chenyan almost hissed into Lin Yu’s ear.

Lin Yu felt goosebumps all over her body.

But when she saw his finger twitch, she shouted loudly, "Don’t."

Zhou Chenyan’s finger retreated, "So, are you choosing Meng Qiancheng?"

"Zhou Chenyan, the people you hate are me and Chenyuan, Chenyuan is already dead, I will give you my life, please spare the children," Lin Yu begged, "They are innocent."

"They all carry your blood, how are they innocent?" Zhou Chenyan tightened his grip on Lin Yu’s arm, desperately low growling with deep emotion, "My entire being and heart are yours, Ah Yu, why did you betray me?"

It was a question that came twenty years too late.

"You ask me why I betrayed you?" Lin Yu laughed sardonically in a low voice, "Zhou Chenyan, you say you like me, yet you made everyone despise and fear me, even though I did nothing."

She was a normal person, longing for a normal life, but Zhou Chenyan kept her caged like a canary.

He nearly drove her to madness.

And he still had the audacity to ask why she betrayed him.

"Chenyuan might not have been as capable as you, but he gave me the basic respect and treated me like a human being," Lin Yu did not care how much her words were provoking Zhou Chenyan.

How enraged they might make him.

Feeling the increasing pressure on her neck, tears flowed unrestrained, "Zhou Chenyan, you are selfish and despicable, to think I could ever love you; you’re dreaming. In this lifetime, I belong to Chenyuan in life and death."

"Lin Yu," Zhou Chenyan was enraged, "Since you love him so much, I won’t let you be together."

"Zhou Chenyan, do you remember Yu Man?" Zhou Lin suddenly interjected.

Zhou Chenyan’s menacing gaze pinned down on Zhou Lin, as the muzzle turned toward him, "How do you know that name?"

Zhou Lin casually took two steps forward, his face unchanged even in the face of the dreadful muzzle, "Of course I know. Zhou Chenyan, you claim to love my mother, then let me ask you, what about Yu Man?"

"You were there when she died, right?"

Zhou Chenyan’s hand trembled imperceptibly.

Even now, the mere mention of that name sent uncontrollable shivers through him.

Not of fear but of excitement.

An exhilaration he never found with anyone else, not even Lin Yu.

Yu Man was an extremely sunny and kind girl, with black hair and a white long dress she could easily inspire a protective instinct, and just as easily a violent urge.

Zhou Chenyan still vividly remembered the first time they met.

Cruel by nature, with many enemies, walking the night would eventually lead to ghosts, and doing bad deeds would lead to retribution; even Old Master Zhou had publicly announced the heir would be switched to his elder brother.

He decided to leave that family forever.

But he had too many enemies.

Nearly killed during one such pursuit, it was the passing Yu Man who saved him, got him to a hospital and even paid for the medical expenses.

Even now, Zhou Chenyan remembered the gentle smile on her face as she softly assured him not to worry, promising he would be alright.

Zhou Chenyan, at that time, not only lacked gratitude towards Yu Man but also felt an impulse to hide her away.

When the walls are down, and everyone is pushing, Yu Man was like a beam of light.

But before he acted on it, Yu Man had left Yucheng.

Only to encounter her again later, pregnant, conducting prenatal check-ups in a hospital.

He didn’t care that she was close to giving birth, he locked her in the house he had meticulously prepared for her, but she pretended to comply only to escape during childbirth.

Then she threw herself from a building.

At that moment, Zhou Chenyan’s personality twisted completely; he believed Yu Man had betrayed him.

"The memory ends there, Zhou Chenyan."

Zhou Lin’s sudden shout broke the silence, and someone emerged from behind, seizing the gun from Zhou Chenyan’s hand within a second.

At the same moment, something whizzed past his ear, followed by a "bang."

A black hole appeared in Zhou Chenyan’s forehead as blood gushed forth.

Zhou Lin reacted quickly, pulling Lin Yu towards him.

Zhou Chenyan’s body fell backwards into the sea.

Zhou Lin turned his expressionless face towards Meng Qiancheng, and simultaneously, a red dot appeared on his forehead.

"Ah Lin," Lin Yu gasped in shock, stepping in front of Zhou Lin.

The red dot moved to her forehead.

"Meng Qiancheng, is killing your own father not enough, are you going to kill me too?" Lin Yu yelled with all her might.

Zhou Lin steadied her shoulders, soothingly said, "It’s okay."

"But..."

Lin Yu gripped his hand tightly—Meng Qiancheng was capable of such things.

"He wouldn’t dare," Zhou Lin lifted his chin.

Of course, Meng Qiancheng wouldn’t dare because when the red dot targeted Zhou Lin, three red dots appeared on Meng Qiancheng’s forehead.

Precision sniping from all directions.

"Mr. Meng."

Those around Meng Qiancheng began to panic, surrounding him and searching for the opposition’s location.

Their focus was eventually on the car by Zhou Lin’s side.

The distance was significant, and with Zhou Lin’s people all there, they couldn’t approach.

Zhou Lin withdrew his gaze, guiding Lin Yu towards his car.

Calm and composed.

Meng Qiancheng narrowed his eyes, unable to resist saying, "Zhou Lin, do you really think I won’t shoot?"
