Chapter 99: Chapter 99: Enjoy the Big Gift Brother Lin Has Prepared for You

Cheng Zhiwei didn’t think twice before slapping Zhou Lin across the face, her long hair shadowing her chilling expression. She almost trembled as she screamed, "My sister is in danger right now, I must go save her. Zhou Lin, can you stop your revenge against me and let me go save her?"

As she spoke, tears spilled from her eyes, her tone shifting from shrill to pleading.

"Zhou Lin, I’m begging you," she pleaded, her legs nearly giving out and almost bringing her to her knees.

Zhou Lin stretched out his hand, lifting her by the waist, and, taking her phone with his other hand, he directly called Secretary Zhang. As soon as the call connected, without waiting for a response, he ordered him to call the hospital’s director to arrange security to rescue Cheng Zhiyin from her room.

Secretary Zhang agreed in a rush, arranging the call while swiftly getting dressed. His mind wandered, gossipy thought flitted through: was Young President Zhou using Young Madam’s phone to make a call at this hour? Could it be that the two of them were already staying together in one room?

But then he thought about how Young President Zhou had been returning to Sparkling Sky City these past few days. Could it be that he finally saw Young Madam’s worth?

Zhou Lin tossed Cheng Zhiwei’s phone aside and went to the closet to fetch some clothes for her, placing them on her lap with a stern tone, "It’ll take you at least half an hour to get there; by then, everything will have been over. Wouldn’t calling the police or informing security be stronger than you going out like this? Even if it’s a matter of utmost urgency, put your clothes on properly."

Just wearing a spaghetti strap nightgown, her fair arms and shoulders exposed, the slightest movement risked revealing too much.

Cheng Zhiwei had calmed down, holding the clothes, her voice hoarse with gratitude, "Thank you."

Zhou Lin let out a scoff, laden with irony, and turned to leave, "Get dressed properly, I’ll take you there."

"Okay."

In five minutes time, Cheng Zhiwei was fully dressed, from head to toe. As she left the room, she encountered Zhou Lin waiting outside, who said, "Let’s go."

The car lights cut through the veil of rain, heading for the hospital.

The windshield wipers methodically swept across the glass, while Cheng Zhiwei twisted her fingers together, her voice barely audible, "I’m sorry for misunderstanding you."

She thought he wouldn’t let her go save Cheng Zhiyin, and had struck him as well.

Zhou Lin’s voice was unusually warm in the rainy night. He mockingly chuckled, "In your heart, I’m always this kind of person. I’m used to it."

Sarcastic as it was.

Cheng Zhiwei glanced at him, then back at the windshield wipers, wondering if it was because he had finally done something decidedly human that she suddenly felt an urge to converse, "That day three years ago, I truly didn’t drug you, and I don’t know how we ended up together. The incident with Seo Zhenzhen and forcing you into marriage with me... Although I’m innocent in these matters, I still owe you an apology."

The events of three years ago were the origin of all their troubles, previously a topic that would make anyone grind their teeth in rage. Now, it felt like speaking about it from another lifetime.

Upon bringing up the issue, Zhou Lin responded with a rare calmness, "I’ve investigated; I didn’t find any clues."

There were no surveillance tapes, no eyewitnesses.

They seemed like two lovers, naturally coming together when passion peaked.

Cheng Zhiwei sighed. If there had been clues, they would have reached a conclusion long ago, rather than ending up in such a mess.

They quickly arrived at the hospital.

Cheng Zhiwei rushed into the ward, where Cheng Zhiyin had already been rescued by security and was now lying on the bed, crying.

"Sister."

"Zhiwei." Cheng Zhiyin couldn’t stop crying, her face marked with several new bruises.

"I’m late; how is the child? He was getting better, wasn’t he? Why did he lay hands on you again?" Cheng Zhiwei asked with concern.

And it happened right in the hospital.

Cheng Zhiyin endured her grief and spoke with difficulty, "He was drinking, burst in and questioned me why I was going after Xiao Ru, Xavier Russo is the woman he kept outside, and she’s already pregnant. He cursed at me for not being able to have children and even accused me of wanting the Gao Family to end with him."

"What a scumbag," Cheng Zhiwei cursed angrily, "He has the nerve to feel superior for having a mistress."

Even if Cheng Zhiyin couldn’t have children and he wanted a divorce, it should have been discussed properly. He should have spoken openly about it. Why did he have to resort to violence and use such despicable methods?

"Sister, I found out about this before, but I didn’t tell you because I saw you still had hope for him," Cheng Zhiwei recounted the whole story. How to handle this affair was for Cheng Zhiyin to decide, "I went to that woman and gave her a choice. It seems she’s made her decision now."

"You knew all along?" Tears glittered in Cheng Zhiyin’s eyes, "No wonder you said those things last time. You should have told me sooner."

"Sorry, sis."

"I don’t blame you. I just feel I was too naive," Cheng Zhiyin said with a bitter smile, full of sorrow.

After a long time of comforting her, Cheng Zhiyi finally fell asleep.

Cheng Zhiwei instructed the nurse to take good care of Cheng Zhiyin. When she went outside, Zhou Lin was still there, apparently on a phone call about something.

Cheng Zhiwei waited for him to finish before she approached and asked for the car keys; she wanted to find that woman.

"I know the address. I’ll take you there, and then I need to go to the company," Zhou Lin said.

"Alright."

Getting into the elevator, she went straight to the floor Xiao Ru was on, as per the apartment number Zhou Lin had given her. Cheng Zhiwei didn’t ring the doorbell; she knocked on the door directly.

Soon, the door opened, and Xiao Ru stood there, asking indifferently, "Young Madam Zhou is here. If there’s something to discuss, please come in."

Cheng Zhiwei furrowed her brows, suddenly overcome by a bad feeling.

Before she could react, Xiao Ru had already pulled her inside.

Stumbling a few steps to steady herself, she saw two men sitting on the couch across from her. As soon as they saw her, they stood up immediately.

And on the other side was Bai Zhuzhu.

Cheng Zhiwei took a few steps back, warily eyeing them, "What do you want?"

Bai Zhuzhu covered her mouth and laughed heartily, "Tell me, if a video of you messing around with a man gets out, will the Zhou Family still acknowledge you as Young Madam?"

A bomb went off in Cheng Zhiwei’s head as the conversation she had overheard that day in the private room suddenly echoed in her mind.

"Bai Zhuzhu, you wouldn’t dare," she said sternly, "That’s illegal."

"Illegal, oh I’m so scared," Bai Zhuzhu feigned a terrified exclamation, "You’re really naïve. Didn’t you ever wonder how I got out so easily, and just now who it was that brought you here?"

Cheng Zhiwei’s face turned deathly pale.

Zhou Lin?

"When you made my sister disabled years ago and forced him to marry you," Bai Zhuzhu said with malicious glee, "Brother Lin has always been one to hold grudges. Do you think he would let you off so easily? Didn’t you hear it too, the other day? He agreed to He Lanzhi’s suggestion."

"Oh yes, I can also tell you, my sister hasn’t gone abroad at all. Brother Lin has been hiding her at He Lanzhi’s place, just waiting for you to vacate the spot," Bai Zhuzhu continued.

Cheng Zhiwei’s hands clenched into fists. Her heart felt as if it was being squeezed by an invisible hand, agonizingly painful, "Seo Zhenzhen is at He Lanzhi’s house?"

"Yes, you didn’t know? Cheng Zhiwei, enjoy the grand gift Brother Lin has prepared for you."
