Chapter 835: Don’t Do Things In The Name Of Love
At that time, it was like being pushed down to hell. He was willing to live and die with Leng Zhiyuan, and ultimately, she was just an outsider.
These few days, she did not sleep. She was tormented by jealousy, worry, guilt, uneasiness, pain, and all sorts of other feelings. She felt tortured.
She had decided that if Zhou Yao really died, she would not stay alive either.
Even if he only liked Leng Zhiyuan, she’d chase after him and follow him all the way to hell.
She could not lose him.
Zhou Yao watched Leng Zhiyuan leave until her figure disappeared from sight. Only then did he look at Han Xuan as he started walking. “I have something to tell you.”
Han Xuan quickly moved her feet and followed.
…
The pair reached a sealed little house, and Zhou Yao stood with his hands clasped behind his back.
Han Xuan looked at his handsome back, then she walked forward and reached out to hug him. She lay her face against his back. “Big Brother Zhou, I missed you so much these few days. I was worried that something bad happened to you…”
Zhou Yao stood there unmoving. “Hah…” he let out a low laugh. “If anything would have happened to me, it would be thanks to you.”
Han Xuan’s face turned white. She let go of Zhou Yao, and in a trembling voice, she said, “Big Brother Zhou, what do you…mean?”
Zhou Yao slowly turned around. His long, narrow, black eyes stared at her beautiful face like a hawk. “Oh, that’s right. You just wanted Leng Zhiyuan to die. You did not think that I would be involved.”
Han Xuan stepped back a few steps. “Big Brother Zhou, I don’t understand what you are talking about.”
“Han Xuan, are you still going to quibble at such a time? Exactly how much do you hate Leng Zhiyuan that you wanted her to go and die!”
“I didn’t! Big Brother Zhou, you need to have evidence before speaking. There were so many eyes watching outside the base. I didn’t do anything. The soil under Leng Zhiyuan’s feet loosened, and she fell down by herself. Did she complain to you? Did she speak ill of me? She’s wronged me!” Han Xuan screamed, out of control.
“Enough! Did you let that private doctor capture you on purpose? You think I can’t tell! Han Xuan, you think everyone is as stupid as you!” Zhou Yao raised his voice and shouted.
The atmosphere instantly became tense. They looked at each other, his eyes were blazing with both disappointment and anger. Han Xuan averted her gaze with effort, the rims of her eyes had turned red.
Zhou Yao took two steps forward. “Han Xuan, can you still recognise yourself? Where is that Han Xuan who lost her brother at the age of 14 but still lived on bravely? The 18-year-old who lurked beside Scorpion and strived to study medicine. Where did that intelligent and tenacious Han Xuan go? Han Xuan, I don’t recognise you anymore. You are blinded by jealousy and have lost your wisdom. You have started on the path of no return. Aren’t you letting your brother down like this?”
The tears in Han Xuan’s eyes started falling forcefully. That’s right, was this still her?
Now she was despicable, so unbearable. She was Han Hong’s little sister. She was eager to excel, and she was supposed to be virtuous. How did she become like this?
“Big Brother Zhou, do you know why I’ve changed? That is because I love you and can’t lose you.”
Zhou Yao pressed his thin lips into a deep, straight line. He slowly replied, “Don’t do things in the name of love. No one needs such selfish and extreme love.”
He strode away.
“Big Brother Zhou…” Han Xuan called out to stop him. “What are you going to do? Will you expose me and hand me in?”
Although she’d been caught by the private doctor on purpose, upon being involved with these terrorists, her life would be over and it would taint her whole life.
Zhou Yao stopped but did not look back. He sneered, “You don’t care about Han Hong’s reputation, but I still do”
Han Xuan breathed a sigh of relief. He meant that she would not be handed in.
“But this is the last time. Pack up. Someone will pick you up in the morning. Leave T-City, and never come back.” Zhou Yao left.
Leave T-City…
Never come back…
Han Xuan suddenly sagged to the ground. Her hands and feet were cold, as if her blood had coagulated. He was actually sending her away.
Although he didn’t say it, he never wanted to see her again.
How could he be so cruel?
Han Xuan burst into tears.
…
Zhou Yao walked out, and Xiao Zhi went up to meet him. “Major General.”
“Send someone to check on the background of the private doctor.”
“Major General, haven’t we already found out that this private doctor is a habitual international criminal who specializes in provoking conflicts between countries to plan terrorist attacks? It was not surprising that he chose to act on Russians with special identities. Is there anything suspicious about this?”
Zhou Yao’s eyes flashed. “I want to know if he has anything to do with Scorpion.”
“That’s hard to say. We haven’t found any information yet.”
Zhou Yao nodded. “The night that the private doctor was arrested and brought back to the military base, was he locked up in the same place as Han Xuan?”
“Yes, the cells at the base are all temporary and in the same area.”
Zhou Yao fell into a deep thought. He was very clear of what Han Xuan was thinking. When she was attacked, she purposely went to him with the intention to be caught by the private doctor. Her purpose was simple and direct; she wanted to get rid of Leng Zhiyuan using the private doctor.
Then why was Han Xuan sure that the target of the private doctor was Leng Zhiyuan?
The only explanation was that on the night of her detention, Han Xuan had a talk with the doctor, who’d cleverly led the conversation and told her.
That’s the problem. The personal doctor’s target was very clear; it was Leng Zhiyuan.
But why was it Leng Zhiyuan?
Was it really like what the private doctor said. Did Leng Zhiyuan really send people to find out his bottom line and take him by surprise so that he would fail?
He did not agree.
These terrorists just wanted real gold and silver. Every time they made a move, it was always a big move. It was impossible for it to be over some personal grudge. The base was a wall of iron. The private doctor dared to attack at the base which was as good as committing suicide. They committed suicide all for Leng Zhiyuan?
But compared to Leng Zhiyuan, didn’t the private doctor think that he was more worth killing?
He had arrested the private doctor himself, but as he stood in front of the doctor, the doctor seemed to regard him as nothing.
What was the real objective of the private doctor?
Was he working for Scorpion?
It was hard to say.
Scorpion’s number one target was himself, while Leng Zhiyuan was his beloved woman.
Zhou Yao felt that he had walked into a huge fog.
“Forget it. You don’t have to worry about it. I’ll investigate with due diligence.”
…
Leng Zhiyuan came back to the house. She had not been there in a long time, ever since she had come to stay for several days last time.
She looked around. The room was clean and tidy. A quilt folded into tofu cubes was on the bed, and a set of men’s toiletries were in the bathroom.
