Cheng Shang suddenly knelt on the ground, trembling hands reaching to pick up Seo Zhenzhen’s photo, "Zhenzhen... She’s your daughter too, how could you treat her like this."
Guo Cuihua wouldn’t let him pick it up.
As they scuffled, Cheng Shang pushed Guo Cuihua to the ground, causing a splash of rainwater to erupt.
Cheng Zhiwei and Cheng Zhiyin hurried over to help Guo Cuihua up.
Cheng Shang held the photo to his chest and with his other hand seized the opportunity to firmly grasp Cheng Zhiwei’s wrist, dragging her toward the railing as he shrieked, "Go to hell."
Cheng Zhiyin’s face changed, "Zhiwei."
She tried to pull Cheng Zhiwei back, but the crazed Cheng Shang was very strong, and with the rain making their hands slick, she couldn’t hold on.
Cheng Zhiwei was dragged away.
A feeling of imnse weightlessness hit her, then suddenly vanished.
Cheng Zhiwei looked up to see Zhou Lin’s horrified expression through the rain; almost his entire body was over the railing, both hands holding onto her, his legs being firmly held by a bodyguard.
She wanted to ask if he had found the children, but the heavy rain was so fierce she could hardly open her mouth, managing only to firmly grasp onto Cheng Shang below.
Zhou Lin understood her intention and quickly said, "They’ve been found."
While holding onto Cheng Zhiwei, Cheng Shang struggled fiercely, attempting to pull her down with him, but in the process, accidentally dropped Seo Zhenzhen’s morial photo.
"Zhenzhen," Cheng Shang watched in disbelief as Seo Zhenzhen’s morial photo shattered, and rage filled his eyes, "Cheng Zhiwei, you deserve to die."
He struggled harder.
Cheng Zhiwei was being held tightly by Zhou Lin, Cheng Shang’s struggles only made Cheng Zhiwei’s grip on his hand slip little by little.
It would be certain death if this continued.
"Cheng Shang, stop moving," Guo Cuihua, being held by the railing by a bodyguard, shouted loudly, "She’s dead, do you want to pay with my life too?"
"Cheng Shang, if we’re both dead, who will burn incense and paper money for her during festivals? Do you want her to suffer even in the afterlife?" Tears, or maybe rain, ran down Guo Cuihua’s distressed face, "If you dare to die today, I’ll jump after you."
The person Cheng Shang owed the most in his life, besides Seo Zhenzhen, was Guo Cuihua. At her words, his struggling diminished considerably.
Cheng Zhiwei felt it and, gritting her teeth, said, "Cheng Shang, don’t you want to avenge Seo Zhenzhen? If you die, I’ll still be alive and well, and I’ll have two more children, tornting Zhou Ruoki relentlessly."
Her last words infuriated the already suicidal Cheng Shang, who yelled loudly, "Cheng Zhiwei, you dare."
Cheng Zhiwei sneered, "You’ll be dead, what can you do about it?"
With one hard tug, Cheng Shang grabbed Cheng Zhiwei, "Then let’s die together."
Cheng Zhiwei was terrified; she hadn’t seen her children safe and sound with her own eyes yet, but she had no choice but to try to remain calm, mocking Cheng Shang.
"You’re not even looking at how many people are holding up here. If you’re capable, go ahead and pull us all down, or just fall and die yourself while I’ll still be living well."
The sound of fire engines and police sirens tore through the veil of rain, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
When Cheng Zhiwei was pulled up, her feet hitting the concrete, her legs gave way and she collapsed to the ground.
Her body uncontrollably began to tremble.
Zhou Lin held her tightly, his heart finally back in place, his voice shaking, "It’s okay now, it’s okay."
"Where are the kids?" Cheng Zhiwei asked urgently.
Zhou Lin said sothing, but Cheng Zhiwei shook her head blankly and took out her hearing aid.
The rain was too heavy; the hearing aid was useless.
Zhou Lin kissed her forehead and whispered into her other ear, "They’re safe, we’ll talk about everything else when we get back."
Cheng Shang, being held back by the police, still tried to approach but received a hard slap from Guo Cuihua, "Cheng Shang, snap out of it."
Cheng Zhiwei barely stood up and walked over to him, looming over and threatening, "If you want Zhou Ruoki to have a good life with the Zhou Family, then you better go back to your hotown with Mom and behave. I might even kindly take him to visit you sotis. Otherwise, get ready for him to scrub dishes and sweep floors, enduring hardship at the Zhou Family."
Cheng Shang instantly quieted down, yet his gaze at Cheng Zhiwei was still full of hatred.
Cheng Zhiwei struggled to stand, she needed to imdiately rush ho to see her children.
Zhou Lin picked her up decisively,"First to the hospital."
How to deal with everything going forward would depend on Cheng Zhiwei’s physical condition.
Cheng Zhiwei said, "Let send a video to Aunt Wang."
Zhou Lin nodded.
"Zhiwei, thank you," Guo Cuihua ca over to express her gratitude, her tears flowing non-stop.
If Cheng Zhiwei had been ruthless and let go at that mont, Cheng Shang would have fallen to his death, and no one could have blad her.
But not only did she hold on, she even deliberately said those words to provoke Cheng Shang, giving him the will to live.
Even though Cheng Shang staying alive ant trouble and danger for her.
Cheng Zhiwei pointed to her ear and shook her head.
She couldn’t hear, but she could vaguely guess Guo Cuihua was thanking her.
Guo Cuihua was right, no matter how Cheng Shang mistreated her, she could never erase his life-saving act and over twenty years of raising her.
This ti, it was her way of repaying him.
Having reached the car, Zhou Lin wrapped Cheng Zhiwei in a blanket before giving her the phone.
Cheng Zhiwei made a video call and saw the frightened, pale faces of Cheng Yang and Cheng Xing, her heart aching imnsely. Zhou Lin comforted them and promised to be ho soon, and that barely cald the children.
Cheng Zhiwei, looking at the images on the screen, suddenly grabbed Zhou Lin’s sleeve and asked with parted lips, "Where’s Qiqi?"
In the video, Cheng Yang and Cheng Xing could be seen sitting close to each other on the couch, but Zhou Ruoki was not there.
Despite their estrangent, Cheng Zhiwei could not truly ignore Zhou Ruoki.
After Zhou Lin asked, Cheng Yang seed to rember Zhou Ruoki, looked around, and shook his head, "I don’t know, Xingxing and I were together, we didn’t see him."
Zhou Lin’s face grew grim at once.
Cheng Zhiwei saw it and asked cautiously, "Is Qiqi missing?"
Zhou Lin took the phone, ended the video call, and directly called Wang i, telling her to search for Zhou Ruoki with the bodyguards outside.
But even after Wang i and the bodyguards thoroughly searched the house, Zhou Ruoki was nowhere to be found.
A great anxiety rose in Cheng Zhiwei’s heart, urging Zhou Lin to go ho.
Nearing the gate of Sparkling Sky City, Cheng Zhiwei glanced out the car window on a whim and imdiately spotted a small, curled-up figure under a tree by the roadside.
Her heart skipped a beat, and she shouted loudly, "Stop the car, stop the car."
Zhou Lin, who was reviewing various ssages, looked up in confusion, "Zhiwei, what’s wrong?"
The car stopped, and Cheng Zhiwei had already flung open the door and dashed out, "Qiqi."
Zhou Ruoki stood up in bewildernt.
Cheng Zhiwei halted, her pupils constricting sharply, and she scread, "Qiqi, run!"
Not far away, a man in a black hoodie was walking briskly towards them and started to jog when he saw Cheng Zhiwei.
