Married to My Ex-Fiancé's Cousin-Chapter 945: An Eye for an Eye

She wanted to see what kind of person could be so lawless as to do this to Lin Xiang, actually plotting against Lin Xiang.

Although Zhou Yixiu is no longer in the spotlight, that’s only in regard to the other four great families.

After all, his father is still Zhou Jilin, and most people wouldn’t dare to bully Zhou Yixiu.

As Zhou Yixiu’s wife, Lin Zhenyu naturally wasn’t afraid of trouble.

She was quickly taken away by someone.

Lin Xiang, however, was sent to the Lin Family.

When Lin Zhenyu was taken out of the car, the sky had already turned completely dark.

"Madam Zhou, please." Considering she was pregnant, the man was quite polite to Lin Zhenyu.

Seeing these people, Lin Zhenyu slowly sensed that something was amiss.

She initially intended to make trouble, but now she felt more like a hostage.

Nonetheless, since she was already here, she had no choice but to follow them inside.

"Sir, the person has been brought in."

In front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, there was a man in a suit drinking tea while looking out at the dark night.

Hearing the voice, the man turned around.

Seeing this person, Lin Zhenyu’s anger flared up immediately, "It’s you!"

Qi Cheng calmly looked at Lin Zhenyu and pointed to a seat beside him, "Please sit, Madam Zhou."

In contrast to Lin Zhenyu’s agitation, Qi Cheng’s demeanor was very composed.

Lin Zhenyu was in no mood to sit down; she glared at Qi Cheng, "Was it you who caused Lin Xiang’s situation?"

Was he doing this to Lin Xiang for revenge?

Although Lin Xiang shouldn’t have provoked Qi Cheng, Qi Cheng had no right to do this to Lin Xiang, did he?

Qi Cheng looked indifferently at Lin Zhenyu, not responding to her questions.

Lin Zhenyu had met Qi Cheng before and hadn’t thought he was so cold back then.

Just moments ago agitated, she calmed down after meeting Qi Cheng’s gaze, though her back was now covered with a chill, "What do you want by bringing me here?"

Qi Cheng sneered, "What, is Madam Zhou afraid?"

"Did you deliberately use Lin Xiang to lure me out?" Lin Zhenyu finally sensed something was off.

Otherwise, how did Qi Cheng appear just when she went to find Lin Xiang?

"Lin Xiang’s situation wasn’t my doing. She ended up like this because of her own actions, it has nothing to do with me." Qi Cheng was only able to find Lin Xiang because he’d had someone watching her ever since she went missing, knowing Lin Xiang had been imprisoned by Yun Qinghang for a long time before being taken to a villa in the suburbs for a lengthy period.

Even though Qi Cheng was aware of these things, as they didn’t concern him, he left them be.

Now hearing Lin Zhenyu lay all the blame on him, he kindly offered an explanation.

"It has nothing to do with you? Do you think I’ll believe that? Are you saying you weren’t the one who called me to the suburbs today?"

"Yes! It was me who leaked the information to your subordinates." Qi Cheng had Zhou Jinlian mediate this matter, as Lin Zhenyu’s subordinates were also part of the Zhou Family.

Zhou Jinlian was easier to control.

However, Qi Cheng didn’t think he had done anything wrong.

He looked at Lin Zhenyu, "Don’t you think you should thank me for finding your sister?"

Lin Zhenyu stood silently, watching Qi Cheng.

This scene wasn’t unfamiliar to her.

Back when Ji Yunhuan, with her child, was bound and taken to a villa in Huai Xi by Zhou Yixiu, the atmosphere was just like this.

Now, listening to Qi Cheng, Lin Zhenyu couldn’t help but break into a cold sweat, "Did you specially use Lin Xiang to lure me out just to bring me here?"

"Madam Zhou is a smart woman." Although Lin Zhenyu refused to sit down, Qi Cheng had already seated himself.

He didn’t conceal his intentions; he specifically brought Lin Zhenyu here today.

"Qi Cheng, I know you’ve had grievances with Zhou Yixiu, but those are matters between men, there’s no need to involve me, is there?" Lin Zhenyu’s demeanor was no longer as agitated as before; instead, she became very calm.

Because she knew Qi Cheng had suffered a lot at Zhou Yixiu’s hands, she was very afraid of what Qi Cheng might do to her.

No matter how bold a woman once was, once she became a mother, it was as though she suddenly had a vulnerability, and Lin Zhenyu was no different at the moment.

She didn’t care about anything else, not her dignity, grievances, or hatred. All she hoped for was to safely give birth to her child.

Qi Cheng chuckled meaningfully, "It seems Madam Zhou is afraid?"

This remark from Qi Cheng made Lin Zhenyu feel even more endangered.

She felt her back prickling with goosebumps, "Yes, I’m afraid. I shouldn’t have come here. If I had known it was you, I wouldn’t have come. I’m Lin Xiang’s sister, I just wanted to seek justice for her. I’m looking for the person who harmed her. Since you said it wasn’t you, can I leave now?"

"I’m afraid not, you won’t be able to leave for now. You’ll have to stay here as my guest until my matters are settled." Back then, Zhou Yixiu had said the same thing to Ji Yunhuan.

Lin Zhenyu stared intently at Qi Cheng, her face turning pale, "Do you really need to trouble a woman like this?"

"Didn’t Mr. Zhou do the same thing by kidnapping my wife and child? Now Madam Zhou knows the fear. I suppose you can comprehend Yunhuan’s feelings back then?"

It was obvious Qi Cheng intended to settle old scores.

Lin Zhenyu could very well see his purpose.

He seemed like someone who had been deeply hurt and was now acting without restraint, disregarding any consequences.

Such a person is particularly frightening.

Because he has gone through the most extreme and terrifying experiences, you don’t know where his boundaries lie, nor can you be sure of what crazy things he might do.

Lin Zhenyu bit her lip and asked, "Do you intend to settle old scores?"

"Mm-hmm."

"Qi Cheng, during the time you were recovering from your wounds, even though Yixiu didn’t send you home, he still had doctors save you, and I’m sure you’re aware that if not for this, you might not be alive now, right? You can retaliate against him however you wish, but for the sake of him having saved you, can you let me go?"

"He saved me?" Qi Cheng chuckled softly, "What Mr. Zhou did to me, I will never forget. Besides, all my current circumstances are thanks to him. I wasn’t planning anything, but he kept provoking me over and over."

Had Zhou Yixiu not continuously used Cheng Yanxi to taunt him, he wouldn’t have thought of doing these pointless and troublesome things.

Wasn’t that man provoking him?

From Qi Cheng’s perspective, he was simply doing what he ought to do.

Lin Zhenyu looked at Qi Cheng, "So what do you want?"

"Nothing much," Qi Cheng smiled, "Didn’t I tell you, I just wanted to invite you over as a guest. Don’t worry, I know Madam Zhou is pregnant, and I will ensure you and your child are well taken care of."
