682 Taste Of Jealousy (1/2)
Zhou Jinhai was still kneeling on the floor with his eyes blankly staring ahead. Niu Peizhi closed the lid of the laptop and patted his head like he was a dog as she said, ”If you had agreed like this from the very beginning, we wouldn't have come to this point.”
”You won't touch her now, right?” he didn't forget to confirm. Niu Peizhi shrugged her shoulders and walked off with a burst of light laughter that froze his heart.
Rushing to his feet, he ran out of the house. His brain was buzzing. He felt clammy and there was cold sweat glistening on his face. It felt like a nightmare to him. He truly didn't believe a word his mother said. Until today he might have lived with the misconception that he knew his mother but no more.
With trembling hands, he started the car and drove off in a hurry. He didn't know how many signals he broke, he didn't even care about the speed as he tried to reach for help as soon as possible. While parking the car before a manor, his whole body jolted ahead and he even hit his forehead against the steering wheel. But none of that mattered as he unbuckled his seatbelt and ran inside.
”Slow down, young man!”
As he bumped into someone, he apologized and tried to pass but the person held his arm and stopped him.
”What's the rush, Jinhai? Who are you looking for?”
”Ying... I want to see Ying. She can help me. She can definitely save her.”
”Ying is out of the country though,” came the reply.
”What?” his whole body shrouded in despair. Suddenly recalling something, he looked up at Xin Xiaoli's face and held his hand begging, ”Li Ge, help me. Please! Please, save her!”
”Speak human and stop crying,” said Xin Xiaoli as he patted his back to soothe him. Only then did Zhou Jinhai reiterated everything to him without hiding a word.
”Although mom said she'll let her, I don't trust her. Not anymore. She won't let her go unscathed.”
Xin Xiaoli's face hardened and his eyes darkened. He took his phone and made a phone call. Zhou Jinhai didn't hear the content of the call but he did remember how Xiao Li dragged him along to his own car and drove towards a hotel. While Zhou Jinhai might not have the power to know where his mother took Chen Xiu, Xin Xiaoli was different. It didn't even take him long to learn about the location.
He could vividly recall the moment when Xin Xiaoli's bodyguards had already burst through the hotel door and took down those three men hired by his mother. He stood frozen at the door staring at Xiu's lifeless body. The only consolation he got was that her inner clothes were still intact.
