Disorder in marriage

Yan Zhi wanted to help Zhou Zheng up, but Ling Xiao walked towards her the next second.

She took a step back, and Ling Xiao looked at her with a sorrowful expression. "Xiao Zhi, I like you, why can't you see it?"

Yan Zhi backed away while retorting, "Your kind of liking really gives me the creeps."

"You think I want this?" Ling Xiao opened his arms, a helpless bitter smile on his face. "Only by destroying you will Gu Yunmo abandon you, and only then will you realize that I am the person who cherishes you most in this world!"

He stopped trying to salvage the situation, and Yan Zhi turned and ran. She didn't know how long she could run, but she could stall for as long as she could.

"Xiao Zhi!"

Yan Zhi plunged into the woods. Surrounded by trees, she was too nervous, and with the night already falling, she quickly lost her bearings.

With no cell phone signal, Yan Zhi could only follow the moon in the sky and walk by feeling.

"Yan Zhi! Yan Zhi! Come out! You can't escape! You'll never escape in this lifetime!"

In the quiet surroundings, Lingxiao's low growl sounded like a wild beast lurking in the depths.

Yan Zhi had become a complete stranger to Ling Xiao.

When she was exhausted, she sat down to rest behind a sturdy tree.

She hugged her knees, looked up at the incomplete moon in the sky, and prayed that Xia Linglong would call the police in time so that she and Zhou Zheng could be rescued as soon as possible.

"Xiao Zhi!"

Ling Xiao's voice drew closer to her. Yan Zhi forced a weary voice, glanced at the way she had come, and continued to flee.

Parting a clump of bushes, Lingxiao, carrying a hammer and rope, approached directly.

When Yan Zhi stepped back again, she not only broke a tree branch but also tripped and fell.

"Senior...senior..."

"Xiao Zhi, be good and come with me."

Yan Zhi shook her head. "Senior, calm down! You're committing a crime! You're a lawyer!"

Ling Xiao remained expressionless. "If staying calm could get me you, why would I have ended up like this?"

Seeing that she couldn't negotiate with him, Yan Zhi had no choice but to find a way to fight back. She touched a stone and hesitated before clutching it in her hand.

"Xiao Zhi, come with me. I'll treat you better than Gu Yunmo."

Having no other option, Yan Zhi swung a stone, shouting, "Don't come any closer!"

Ling Xiao stopped, looked at what she was holding, and asked, "Are you going to throw a rock at me?"

Yan Zhi stared intently and said in a deep voice, "Don't force me."

"Xiao Zhi, are you really willing to throw stones at me?"

Yan Zhi's heart was pounding. After a pause, she asked, "What did you do to Niannian?"

Ling Xiao's expression changed slightly. "Xiao Zhi, there are some things you can't understand even if you know them."

Yan Zhi raised her voice, trembling with anger, "She's just a child! How could you do that!"

This matter is also a knot in Ling Xiao's heart. If he had really gone to such a crazy point, he should have strangled Nian Nian on the spot.

But he had a conscience; he had studied law and could uphold the bottom line of humanity.

He knelt down and grabbed Yan Zhi's hand, which she couldn't break free of no matter how hard she tried.

"Please forgive me. I know I was wrong, but I really can't help it. Xiaozhi, you don't understand, I like you. I've liked you since we were in school, I'm crazy about you! Please forgive me! Please forgive me! Don't blame me!"

"Let go!" Yan Zhi's voice was louder than ever before.

But Ling Xiao gripped her shoulders tightly, repeating those crazy words over and over again.

"Lingxiao!"

Ling Xiao finally quieted down, and Yan Zhi's eyes were filled with disappointment and anger. "I feel disgusted just thinking about what I did before you said those words."

Ling Xiao froze, his smile gradually fading. "Xiao Zhi, I'm sorry."

He picked up the rope and put it around Yan Zhi's neck.

Yan Zhi's hands were caught between the rope and her neck. She tried to break free, but was quickly strangled and couldn't breathe.

Once she was weak, Ling Xiao tied her hands and feet with rope and carried her on his shoulder.

"Put me down!"

"Ling Xiao, I considered you a friend, are you trying to make me hate you?!"

No matter what she shouted, Ling Xiao remained unmoved.

She had been running for most of the day, but Ling Xiao easily carried her back to the starting point.

Yan Zhi panicked when she saw Zhou Zheng lying unconscious on the ground.

"Ling Xiao, I beg you, please save Zhou Zheng first! I'll do anything you ask! Don't let him die!"

Ling Xiao then put her down. "Are you serious?"

Yan Zhi nodded, her mouth dry. "Yes! Please save him!"

"it is good."

Ling Xiao wiped away non-existent tears from her face and untied the ropes binding her feet. "You'll stay with me obediently, right? Xiao Zhi, don't lie to me. Do you know what the consequences will be if you lie to me?"

Yan Zhi pursed her lips. "Yes."

Hearing this answer, Ling Xiao smiled with satisfaction.

The next second, he took out his phone and made a call to someone, ordering them to come to him in a commanding tone.

After the call ended, he reassured Yan Zhi, "Don't worry, Zhou Zheng will be fine."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Zhou Zheng, who was lying on the ground, suddenly grabbed Ling Xiao's ankle.

"Stay away from... Xiaozhi."

"Brother Zheng!"

Yan Zhi saw that he was still awake and wanted to go over to check on his condition, but Ling Xiao pulled her behind him.

Ling Xiao kicked his hand away and sneered, "Zhou Zheng, I've actually been annoyed with you for a while now. Using Xiao Zhi as a cover, do you know how much of an eyesore you are?"

Zhou Zheng grinned, his face covered in blood. "I knew it a long time ago! You're furious, aren't you? Serves you right!"

Upon hearing this, Ling Xiao kicked him in the stomach.

Zhou Zheng curled up in pain and coughed several times.

Yan Zhi shook off his hand and knelt down in front of Zhou Zheng, "Brother Zheng! Zhou Zheng?"

"I'm fine..."

Zhou Zheng pulled her close and whispered in her ear, "I called Gu Yunmo, hang in there a little longer..."

Yan Zhi's emotions were complicated, but she was mostly worried about Zhou Zheng.

Ling Xiao pulled her up from the ground, ignoring Zhou Zheng, and dragged Yan Zhi towards an abandoned house.

Yan Zhi looked back every three steps, and Zhou Zheng could only watch helplessly as Ling Xiao took her away.

There was a bed inside. As soon as Yan Zhi entered, Ling Xiao tried to kiss her.

"Senior!"

Ling Xiao's expression was cold and detached. "Xiao Zhi, have you changed your mind?"

Yan Zhi turned her head away, her chest heaving violently. She had only been silent for three seconds when Ling Xiao's patience had already run out.

He pinched her chin and turned her face to face.

"You can't go back on your word!"

Yan Zhi frowned in pain. Just then, a blinding white light shone through the window between her and Ling Xiao.

The sound of the car rolling over the road stopped abruptly. Ling Xiao and Yan Zhi looked towards the light at the same time and saw Gu Yunmo getting out of the car.

Ling Xiao immediately straightened his back, showing no fear. He grabbed Yan Zhi's wrist with the rope as if he had grasped the fruit of victory.

He dragged Yan Zhi out, and stood behind her, his large hand gripping her neck.

"Gu Yunmo, you're too late. Xiao Zhi has already agreed to be with me."
