Chapter 201 Destination

Zhang Lingwan stared at her, and Lu Zi felt a chill run down her spine, but more than anything, she was furious.

"What do you mean by looking at me like that, Zhang Lingwan?"

Before she could react, a dagger was pressed against her neck. He whispered, "That rainy night, I saw the red raincoat. After investigating for so many years, I finally know who sent him. It was you, Lu Zi. Only you have such methods."

Lu Zi looked at him in horror, "Are you crazy?!"

"Hmph, look what I've been through! I've gone mad! I want Qiao Xiao, or I'll kill you and expose everything you've done. I can do it, Lu Zi, I can do it."

"Put the knife down! Let's talk this over."

"Put down the knife and we have nothing to discuss. Give me some money right now and send me somewhere else!"

Lu Zi: "Okay, okay, I'll arrange it right now." She didn't expect Zhang Lingwan to be so crazy.

Soon, Lu's mother came to the rescue. She brought a sum of cash and a prepared ship, and told Zhang Lingwan that she had arranged everything.

Mother Lu: "Zhang Lingwan, put down the knife now. I have already prepared everything according to your instructions."

Zhang Lingwan glanced at the box. "Open it for me."

His eyes lit up when he saw the cash inside, and he pulled Lu Zi onto the boat with him. He said to Lu Zi, "Let him drive the boat."

Lu Zi: "You haven't let me go yet."

"Stop talking nonsense and tell him to drive the boat, or I'll kill you."

Lu Zi cried and said to her mother, "Mom, make him drive the boat, or I'll die."

Mother Lu thought to herself, "No, if the boat leaves, we might not see Xiao Zi again." She remained silent and did not give any orders to anyone.

Seeing this, Zhang Lingwan lightly made a cut on Lu Zi's neck. As Lu Zi screamed in agony, Lu's mother realized what was happening and shouted, "Quickly, make him start the boat!"

At a command, the boat set sail.

Zhang Lingwan led Lu Zi to wander around the boat.

Lu Zi broke down crying, "Quickly stop the bleeding, I'm dying!"

Zhang Lingwan ignored her cries, tied her up with the ropes on the ship, and then took her to the control room. He discovered that the huge ship was controlled by only one person. He thought to himself, "Something's wrong. This person is not right."

He searched everywhere, worried that someone might be hiding in the shadows and trying to assassinate him, and eventually found a woman who was tied up in one place.

"Who is she?" he asked the hostage, Lu Zi.

Lu Zi looked at the woman in front of her in surprise. The emotion reflected in her eyes did not seem like that of a stranger, and Zhang Lingwan clearly noticed this.

Lu Zi slowly said, "Chen Jiyan..."

Chen Jiyan—the reporter who reported her for bullying Qiao Xiao. Lu Zi thought, "Why did Mom tie this woman up here? Mom?!"

Zhang Lingwan looked at Chen Jiyan, her doubts growing even stronger.

Just then, the ship's loudspeaker suddenly blared, revealing Lu's mother's voice: "Zhang Lingwan, I've planted a time bomb on this ship. It will explode in half an hour. If you release my daughter, I can spare your life."

Zhang Lingwan's face turned deathly pale instantly; he hadn't expected Lu's mother to be so ruthless.

Lu Zi screamed in terror, "Mom, are you crazy? Cancel the bomb!"

Lu's mother said with heartache, "This is necessary so that you can get rid of him completely."

Zhang Lingwan gritted his teeth, looked at the knife in his hand, then at Lu Zi and Chen Jiyan, and suddenly, he used the knife to cut off Lu Zi's little finger.

Blood splattered rapidly as a two-centimeter-long piece of the little finger was severed.

"Are you trying to play dirty with me?! Lu Zi's mother, look at your daughter's fingers! Next time, it'll be your daughter's head!"

When Lu's mother heard her daughter's agonizing screams, she panicked instantly. This was not the state of an ordinary person; Zhang Lingwan was a psychopath!

"Okay, okay, I won't press the button. I beg you to release my daughter." Mother Lu said urgently, her heart breaking.

Zhang Lingwan: "Listen to me, set sail quickly."

As the ship sailed into the distance, and the signal gradually weakened, Zhang Lingwan lowered his guard. He tied Lu Zi and Chen Jiyan to a cabin one after the other, and then went to the captain's control room.

Where is our ship?

Captain: "We are currently heading towards XX island nation. It will take us another two or three hours to get there."

"Keep driving."

He went back to check on the two hostages. "Where's Chen Jiyan?"

After closing the door, several figures appeared in front of him.

"How did you end up here?" He stared intently at Zhong Huanli and Qiao Xiao's faces.

Qiao Xiao: "You killed Astor, didn't you, you beast!"

Zhang Lingwan: "Xiao Xiao, you misunderstood me. I just didn't want you to be too sad. That dog was going to die anyway, it couldn't be saved."

Qiao Xiao's eyes were bloodshot, and her pupils suddenly contracted. "Go to hell!"

"You want me to die? Why?! By what right?! I became like this because of you! I went crazy because of you, Qiao Xiao, how could you be so selfish?" Zhang Lingwan stared at him with wide eyes as if she were crazy, her bulging eyeballs were inexplicably terrifying.

Zhong Huanli looked at Qiao Xiao's grief-stricken face and said, "You should disappear, Zhang Lingwan. It's a tragedy that this world has data programmed by you."

Zhang Lingwan sarcastically remarked, "You speak like God, Zhong Huanli. Why are you still alive?!"

Upon hearing this, Qiao Xiao slapped him across the face, her eyes filled with malice as she glared at him, her hand still trembling with anger.

Zhang Lingwan, unwilling to give up, gazed at her tenderly: "Xiao Xiao, why can't you ever see me? Why? Am I really that unimportant to you?"

Qiao Xiao slapped him again, chuckling a few times. "I hate you, I hate you! You knew Astor was my last hope! You killed him with your own hands!"

Zhang Lingwan: "It's a beast!"

Qiao Xiao roared, "He's not! He's my only friend left." Holding the blade stained with Asdor's blood, she walked towards Zhang Lingwan without hesitation, "I must avenge this."

Zhang Lingwan turned and ran away, but Zhong Huanli walked in one direction at an extremely fast speed and kicked her, breaking Zhang Lingwan's leg.

At this moment, Qiao Xiao, standing beside Zhong Huanli, coldly stared at this beast waiting for its death.

"Have you forgotten, Qiao Xiao, who helped you when you were helpless?"

“Yes, help me. When you helped me, there was a tracker in the food you fed Astol, right? You cut open Astol’s stomach right in front of me, do you think… I’ll forget?” she roared, on the verge of collapse.

Zhong Huanli put her arm around her shoulder, trying to calm her down.

Qiao Xiao: "I really wish I could forget that scene. I really wish Astaire were still alive, but he is gone. Even if I run away, I can't change the fact that he died."

"To forget hatred is to betray yourself, you deserve to die!"

Zhang Lingwan hurriedly blurted out, "I witnessed who killed Zhong Yan back then, and I can tell you the answer!"

Zhong Huanli said in a cold voice, "You can talk about this after you're dead."

After listening to Zhong Huanli's words, Qiao Xiao asked, "Brother, so you know who it is, right?"

"Hmm, do you believe me, Xiaoxiao?"

"I believe you!" With that, she plunged the dagger into Zhang Lingwan's body. Blood trickled down the tattered fabric and dripped onto the ground.

Zhang Ling screamed in agony, while Qiao Xiao watched him coldly from the side, her eyes fixed on him…

At this moment, Zhong Huanli's fair fingers brushed against Qiao Xiao's fingertips, and he said gently, "Give me the knife." Qiao Xiao did as he was told.

Zhong Huanli's originally indifferent face instantly turned gloomy. He ran the blade across the trembling face and said coldly, "How many lives have you killed, Zhang Lingwan?" His eyes were as cold as ice in a ravine.

Zhang Lingwan's crazed eyes immediately turned cold. "What are you saying!"

Qiao Xiao: "Zhong Huanli has told me everything. You were at our house that night. Zhong's father wouldn't have died, but you stabbed him to death with your own hands! The murderer in red was also killed by your sneak attack."

Zhang Lingwan's pupils constricted sharply as she looked at Zhong Huanli in horror, "You were there that day! Weren't you?!"

Zhong Huanli's eyes were filled with hatred. "Die, Zhang Lingwan, you've ruined everything."

Zhang Lingwan: "Why?! Why?! I did everything for you, Qiao Xiao, you can't treat me like this."

"Everything?! Everything I have was destroyed by you."

With a roar from Qiao Xiao, Zhong Huanli delivered a fatal blow, killing Zhang Lingwan instantly.

Qiao Xiao wept bitterly, "This is too easy for him, letting him die so easily, Father Zhong... Asdor..."

After dealing with Zhang Lingwan, Qiao Xiao opened the door.

Inside the door, Lu Zi and Chen Jiyan were tied to the ground, their faces filled with fear. They trembled as they stared at the brother and sister in front of them, their hands stained with blood, filled with grief and despair.

Qiao Xiao looked at them coldly as she approached Lu Zi step by step.

"You ruined my face, how should I repay you?"

"I didn't do it! I didn't mean to! Please forgive me!"

Qiao Xiao felt nauseous looking at Lu Zi's face, which was crying her heart out.

Zhong Huanli looked at Qiao Xiao with concern, "Xiao Xiao, are you tired? Let me do it."

Qiao Xiao: "How could that be? I've been wandering for so many years, just for this moment."

She smiled radiantly and plunged the knife in with all her might, blood splattering everywhere. Chen Jiyan, who was standing nearby, was so frightened that he fainted on the spot.

Suddenly, the ship's intercom came on: XX has arrived at its destination.

Zhong Huanli pulled Qiao Xiao off the boat. He used his strength to turn the bow of the boat around, and with a snap of his fingers, he moved the unconscious Chen Jiyan to another location.
