Chapter 296 Danger (1)
Chapter 296 Danger (1)
"Do you really think I don't know what you've been doing all these years? If it weren't for the Chi family, I would have divorced you long ago. I'm warning you now, either tell me where Yan Zuozuo is, or go and divorce me right now, and from now on, your affairs will have nothing to do with me!" Father Meng pulled Mother Meng and walked out.
His mother was in pain from being pulled so hard, but she wouldn't leave. "Let go of me! I won't go! I won't get a divorce..."
"Then tell me where Yan Zuozuo is?" Meng's father glared at her. If she handed Yan Zuozuo over to Chi Moqing now, he might be lenient. But if they waited until Chi Moqing found her, it would be too late.
Despite her desperate pleas, Meng's mother refused to divorce him or reveal Yan Zuozuo's whereabouts. She shoved Meng's father and turned to run away. Meng's father grabbed her, shouting, "You won't talk? I'm calling the police right now! Let's see if you'll talk then!"
As Mr. Meng reached for his phone, Mrs. Meng froze, then lunged at him to grab it, pleading, "No, you can't call the police... We've been together for so many years, how can you bear to see me in jail? I beg you, please don't call the police, we'll leave the country right now, no one will know..."
Mr. Meng said with a cold face, "I am going abroad, but not with you." As he spoke, he tried to make another phone call, but Mrs. Meng tried her best to grab it and smashed his phone on the ground.
Father Meng was furious, his face turning ashen. Over the years, Mother Meng had caused him no end of trouble, and he had cheated on him countless times. He had tolerated it before because the Chi family protected her, but now the Chi family probably wouldn't indulge her anymore. If she still wanted to cause trouble, she shouldn't blame him for being impolite!
Who is Chi Moqing? If he isn't told soon, Chi Moqing might find someone on his own. Then, not only will Meng's mother be implicated, but he himself will be. No matter what, he must warn Chi Moqing before he finds him; perhaps he can still have a chance to survive.
Mr. Meng kicked Mrs. Meng aside and reached for the landline to make a call, but before he could even press the button, the landline rang first. He thought it was Chi Moqing and his heart skipped a beat—had they found out so quickly?
wrong!
If Chi Moqing had really found out, he wouldn't have called; he would have already sent someone to deal with them.
So this phone call...
Meng's father picked up the receiver with trembling hands, only to hear a strange, deep voice coming from the other end. It was probably edited, and it sounded chilling: "If anything happens to Yan Zuozuo, your whole family will be executed!"
Meng's father's face turned deathly pale instantly. Oh no, they'd been discovered!
"Who are you?" His voice trembled.
The other party scoffed disdainfully: "I released Yan Zuozuo an hour ago. Otherwise, I would have killed one member of the Meng family every ten minutes, starting with your father."
Upon hearing this, Meng's father froze, a terror emanating from his very bones, engulfing him instantly. Strangely, he simply believed the person on the phone would keep their word.
His teeth were chattering, and he couldn't help but ask, "Who are you? How do you know these things?"
"Master J!" The other party simply said these two words and then hung up the phone, leaving only a strange dial tone.
Upon hearing this, Meng's father was struck dumb, as if by a bolt from the blue, and collapsed to the ground.
Although Meng's father had never met J, he had at least heard of his great reputation.
J, the dignified CEO of Steman, has connections in both the legitimate and underworld circles. He is practically all-powerful. Not to mention Chi Moqing, even the combined forces of several large families spanning multiple continents might not be a match for J.
This enigmatic and mysterious man actually called and spoke highly of Zuo Zuo. If he hesitated any longer...
Before Meng's father could speak, Meng's mother rushed over, anxiously asking, "Whose call was that? What happened?"
With a loud slap, Meng's father struck Meng's mother across the face, saying viciously, "Quickly, release Yan Zuozuo!"
Mother Meng was stunned: "She caused our family to be destroyed, how can we just let her go like this?"
"I told you to release him, so release him now!" Meng's father said angrily. If they didn't release Yan Zuozuo, their whole family would die!
Meng's mother stared at him quietly for a while, then suddenly stood up and said, "Because of this woman, our whole family is ruined. I'm going to kill her right now!" After saying that, she ran out frantically.
"No!" Meng's father stood up in a fluster and chased after the person, but by the time he got out, Meng's mother had already gotten into the car and sped away!
Mr. Meng was terrified. He knew Mrs. Meng well; she was a woman of her word, and killing someone was as easy for her as crushing an ant. When Meng Xinyu had hit and killed someone in a car accident and fled the scene, she not only didn't blame her, but also cleaned up the mess as if nothing had happened, showing no remorse whatsoever.
Ruined!
If he can't stop Meng's mother now, the entire Meng family will be waiting to collect their corpses.
What should we do now?
Chi Moqing sat in the police station, his face ashen. The police chief, seeing him like this, was terrified. He wished he could just take off his uniform and run away; President Chi was simply too frightening.
"You all better hurry up and get this sorted out within an hour, or you'll all be fired!" the police chief said angrily.
Chi Moqing had been sitting there motionless for a full half hour without saying a word. Stephen and Ou Luhan were on tenterhooks. They would rather Chi Moqing explode than remain motionless like this, which was terrifying.
"President Chi..." Stephen coughed lightly, just about to speak, when Chi Moqing's phone rang. He stiffened and quickly answered, "Uncle?"
“Mo Qing, let me be honest with you first, this matter really has nothing to do with me. I've already forced your aunt to release Zuo Zuo, but she won't listen and even said she'd kill Zuo Zuo. You can't blame me for this…”
Upon hearing Yan Zuozuo's name mentioned, Chi Moqing asked with a serious expression, "Where did she hide Zuozuo?"
"I don't know, it really has nothing to do with me... Mo Qing, you have to believe me, even if you gave me ten lives, I wouldn't dare to kidnap Zuo Zuo, I..."
"Alright, let me know if you find out anything about Auntie's whereabouts. That's all." Chi Moqing narrowed his eyes.
"Okay, okay, if it were me... Hello, hello, hello..." When Mr. Meng saw the phone, Chi Moqing had already hung up. His face turned ashen. If it weren't for the investigation of the Meng family's company and his current travel ban, he would have run away long ago. Damn it, damn it, it's all that old woman's fault! What should he do now?
Just as Meng's father was at a loss, the door to the police chief's office was pushed open, and a man dressed in black walked in, whispered a few words to Ou Luhan, and Ou Luhan's eyes lit up.
"We've found Zuo Zuo!"
Chi Moqing immediately stood up: "Where?"
"Come with me!"
Meng's mother was practically frantic, running recklessly down the highway, constantly watching the cars behind her, terrified that Meng's father would catch up. If he did, her plan to kill Yan Zuozuo would likely fall through.
This useless man! She's been with him her whole life, and he's never acted like a man. Now that their family is about to be destroyed, he still has no sense of responsibility. He deserves to be cuckolded!
And that damned Yan Zuozuo! Not only did she ruin their marriage with the Ou family, but she also caused their family to be destroyed. She absolutely cannot let her go. Even if it costs her own life, she will take revenge on Yan Zuozuo!
Twenty minutes later, the car stopped in the wilderness outside the city. Meng's mother carefully got out of the car, dragged a large pile of bloody flesh from the trunk, and struggled to carry it to the coffin.
This forest is infested with jackals, tigers, and leopards; it's a wildlife sanctuary. If Yan Zuozuo dies here, no one will know. She prepared this coffin after Meng Xinyu was imprisoned, intending for Yan Zuozuo to die slowly in fear.
However, she has changed her mind now. She can't wait that long any longer; Yan Zuozuo must die, she absolutely must die!
Yan Zuozuo lay in the coffin, holding her breath and listening intently to the sounds outside. Had someone come to rescue her?
No, no one touched the coffin at all. Instead, they placed pieces of something reeking of blood next to it.
There were just wolves howling here; if we add meat on top of that...
Her heart skipped a beat. They weren't here to save her; they were here to take her life!
Yan Zuozuo's nerves tightened even more. She felt like she was really going to die. Even her breathing became rapid. But her hands and feet were tied and her mouth was sealed. She couldn't resist at all.
Silence reigned all around, and faintly, it sounded like the howling of wolves again...
A wolf's howl?
As Meng's mother dragged the last piece of meat to the coffin, she heard wolves howling. A panic gripped her; she was going to kill Yan Zuozuo, not have her buried with her. She cautiously looked around, but seeing no tigers or wolves, she ran towards the car. But she couldn't bear to see Yan Zuozuo devoured. Staring intently at the coffin, she made a decision: she locked the car doors, sat inside, and waited to witness Yan Zuozuo's tragic end.
Yan Zuozuo ruined their family and caused their deaths. Even killing her wouldn't be enough to vent their hatred!
Yan Zuozuo, this is what you deserve, you can't blame anyone else!
Ouch!
She really saw wolves and tigers approaching, their eyes glowing a hazy green. Only then did Mother Meng realize she was afraid; it was pitch black all around, and she couldn't even tell which way was which. Seeing the wolves and tigers closing in step by step, she began to retreat.
Since Yan Zuozuo can't escape anyway, she might as well leave first.
Mother Meng pressed the accelerator hard, trying to escape. But suddenly she found that the car wouldn't start. What was wrong? She tried again and again in a panic, but the car remained motionless.
The tigers and wolves were getting closer and closer to her; there were only two at first, but suddenly there were two more.
"No, no... I don't want to die..." Thinking of this, she took out her phone and frantically called her father, but suddenly realized that there was no cell phone signal.
As the tigers and wolves approached, Meng's mother huddled into a ball, trembling as she prayed, "The meat is there, don't come any closer... go away, don't come any closer..."
However, as soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly looked up and saw a dark shadow rushing towards her, with a pair of shiny green eyes.
"No!" Mother Meng screamed, and then fainted from fright.
Yan Zuozuo was also frightened by the noise outside. Just a wall away from her, three or five wolves were eating meat, looking quite ferocious.
She trembled with fear, her face deathly pale. What if the wolf wasn't full and snapped the coffin in two with a single blow?
She felt the breath of death slowly approaching her...
