Chapter 871 - The Feelings That You Have For Him Are True (2/2)

He was never afraid of pain. Old Master Zhou hit him till his flesh bled, and he did not even clench his teeth, and now…he must be in so much pain. What kind of pain was he bearing?

Leng Zhiyuan picked up one photo. It was how he looked after he fainted. She used two hands to cup this photograph against her chest. The tears in her eyes flowed out, as she softly choked up.

Han Xuan stood outside the door as she watched her cry. At this moment, she should have felt extremely happy, but when the woman that was always confident and haughty in front of her finally lowered her head down, the glistening tears in her eyes flowed down relentlessly. She was crying. She was crying! Haha! She finally made her taste this painful feeling.

She should have felt happy, but she was not able to feel happy at all. It turned out… It turned out that this woman could give Zhou Yao this amount of warmth and gentleness.

Han Xuan turned her gaze away forcefully. She smiled boldly as she controlled the tears in her eyes, and she said, “Miss Leng, I probably have to disappoint you. The kind of poison on Older Brother Zhou’s body, I can only temporarily control the poison for now and prevent his death, but talking about creating the cure, I am also helpless. After all, most of the blood in Older Brother Zhou’s body has already died.”

Leng Zhiyuan did not raise her head. She only maintained the same posture and buried her head into her kneecaps as she sobbed.

Han Xuan glanced over at her, and a delighted glow appeared in the bottom of her eyes as she said, “Miss Leng, with me around, at least I can guarantee that Older Brother Zhou will not die, and now, you should not be worried about Older Brother Zhou, but you should be worried about the Zhou family! The Zhou family has been involved in both the military and politics for all these years, and I do not know many of their enemies are all jealous of them. That incident that happened in Bin Jiang Island, they all managed to overcome it, but this time, thanks to you, the Zhou family has been implicated again, and those political enemies are striking and attacking them once again. Let’s see whether you alone are enough to ruin the entire Zhou family!”

Han Xuan shook her sleeves and left.

…

Leng Zhiyuan was done crying. She stretched her hand out to put all of the scattered photos into the envelope, and her slim arms embraced her kneecaps as she sat in a daze.

But very quickly, someone else came over. It was Leng Hao and Ye Xiaotao.

“Zhiyuan!” The two of them stood outside as they called out for her.

Leng Zhiyuan raised her head up before she got up and walked over to face both of them. Her voice was slightly hoarse as she said, “Older Brother, Xiao Tao.”

Leng Hao’s entire face was solemn, and he said, “What is going on exactly?”

“Older Brother, Zhou Yao was poisoned on Bin Jiang Island, and now the poison is coming into effect. I’ve been locked up. I think that it will be hard for me to escape this time, and someone has to take responsibility for him getting poisoned this time.”

“So you asked Ah Chen to help you with something?”

“Yeah.” Leng Zhiyuan nodded her head and said, “Over the past few days, Zhou Yao was behaving too abnormally. I already had a bad premonition and already lost out twice, so this time, I made preparation beforehand. I asked Ah Chen to do two things. Firstly, I applied for Overseas Special Protection for Father. With this, even if the matter that happened on Bin Jiang Island necessitates investigation into Dad, we can guarantee that Dad will not be shifted, and to a person in a vegatative state, whether they investigate or not would be just a formality. Dad will be left by our side and receive the best care that he is able to get. Secondly…”

“Secondly, you asked Ah Chen to take your name out of the Leng family’s register. Zhiyuan, do you know what this means? In the future, you will not be the daughter of the Leng family anymore!” Leng Hao bellowed out.

Leng Zhiyuan looked at her older brother’s grim expression as she curled the corners of her lips up and said, “I know. Only by doing this, I can guarantee that no matter what happens, I will not implicate Older Brother or the Leng family. Dad is not able to do anything. In the future, the Leng family will depend on you. You have to be good!”

“Zhiyuan, you are being way too stubborn. No matter what you did, you did not discuss it with Older Brother at all. Could you have thought that Older Brother would throw his younger sister away? You don’t have to worry. I will definitely think of a plan to rescue you…”

“Older Brother!” Leng Zhiyuan was extremely serious as she interrupted him and said, “If you are really doing this for my good, then please don’t intervene in my matters. Don’t waste my hopes that I have for you, and don’t let down my hard work and conscience.”
