A life of financial freedom

"Faster, faster!"

The car sped through countless red lights, but Chu Fang continued to urge the driver, the car's speed soaring.

... ...

Rumble... ...

The rain poured down, with thunder and lightning.

Zhong Tingyue escaped from the confined space. She looked around, surrounded by jungle. Unable to determine her location, she could only try her best to escape.

Zhong Tingyue ran desperately through the forest, her feet sinking into the muddy, decaying leaves, mud splashing everywhere. Rainwater streamed down her ink-black hair, her fair feet struggling to lift and fall in the mire.

She bit her silver teeth, her delicate face filled with determination and strength.

"Huff, huff, huff... ..."

"I can't die here!"

"I still have so many things to do, haven't supported my parents, haven't realized my personal value, haven't married Mr. Chu, haven't had the crystallization of our love."

"If I die, how heartbroken would my parents, younger sister, and Mr. Chu be?"

"I must live on!!!"

Zhong Tingyue had just woken up after being drugged, her body without strength. Relying on her strong will, she took one step, then another... ...

The rain lashed down, the ground slippery and muddy. In a moment of carelessness, Zhong Tingyue fell.

She couldn't stand up, nor could she take another step.

Then, Ye Zhijie's footsteps approached.

She quickly hid behind a tree, large raindrops falling.

The raindrops soaked Zhong Tingyue's hair, a few strands sticking to her face, yet still unable to conceal her innate beauty.

Zhong Tingyue looked at the sky, dark clouds gathering, with thunder dragons flashing.

The figure of her Mr. Chu appeared in her eyes, and this time, time seemed to stand still, and slowly move forward.

Zhong Tingyue recalled her life with Chu Fang, their happy days, how beautiful she looked in her wedding dress, the tension before their relationship was confirmed, the unease of meeting Chu Fang for the first time... ...

Chu Fang once said, "Before I die, I must take you with me, let's go to the Yellow Springs together."

At the time, Zhong Tingyue retorted, "No way!"

"No way or not, it has to be!" Chu Fang forcefully hooked her finger, swearing to the heavens, "From this day on, we two will become sworn siblings, not seeking to be born on the same day of the same month of the same year, but seeking to die on the same day of the same month of the same year."

Rainwater soaked her bright and deep eyes, adding a bit of blurriness and sadness to her gaze.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Chu, I broke my promise."

Ye Zhijie wandered around, his voice echoing, "I know you're nearby, and can hear my voice."

"Come out."

"Hiding is meaningless, I will eventually find you."

"If you continue to hide, once I find you, I will torture you severely, making you wish you were dead."

Zhong Tingyue held her breath, trying not to make a sound.

"Indeed, you have guts!"

"Since you won't appear, then I will kill your husband... ..."

Hearing this, Zhong Tingyue couldn't help but make a soft sound.

"Hehe... ..."

"I found you."

Ye Zhijie discovered Zhong Tingyue hiding behind the tree, came in front of her, the corner of his mouth slightly raised, outlining a creepy arc.

"You can't escape!" Ye Zhijie held a cold, gleaming knife in his right hand, the blade reflecting a chilling light under the lightning.

Ye Zhijie raised the cold knife, wanting to kill Zhong Tingyue, the latter's eyes lit up.

"Right now!"

Zhong Tingyue grabbed a stick about the thickness of a fist next to her, and struck Ye Zhijie's ankle.

At this time, the rain poured down, on this muddy mountain road, it was extremely slippery.

Faced with this stick, Ye Zhijie couldn't balance himself, fell to the ground, Zhong Tingyue squeezed out the last of her strength, desperately forward, snatched the cold knife from Ye Zhijie's hand, and stabbed it again and again.

Puchi, puchi, puchi... ...

Ye Zhijie lost his struggle, and also lost his life.

Zhong Tingyue took advantage of his unpreparedness and killed Ye Zhijie.

But she wasn't happy, not even a little emotional, because she had no strength left in her body, unable to leave this desolate place, unable to send messages to the outside world.

This destined that she would also die here.

Zhong Tingyue fell to the ground in a disheveled state, her delicate skirt covered with thick mud.

She closed her eyes: "Mr. Chu, goodbye... ..."

Rumble... ...

The rain became more intense, as if the Milky Way had fallen.

"Zhong Tingyue, Zhong Tingyue... ..."

Zhong Tingyue quietly waited for death to arrive, her husband's voice appearing in her mind, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, like a new moon blooming, gentle and bright.

"Being able to hear Mr. Chu's call before death is worth it."

Suddenly, Zhong Tingyue opened her eyes: "No, how is this sound so real? It's not a fantasy."

She struggled, her voice hoarse: "Chu Fang... ..."

Soon, a handsome man appeared in her eyes, soaked to the skin, his clothes clinging tightly to his body, water droplets falling from the corners of his clothes in strings, his brow furrowed, his eyes full of anxiety and unease.

Zhong Tingyue's eyes were instantly lit up, revealing a row of white and neat teeth, that smile as bright as the blooming flowers in spring, bright and moving.

A pair of shallow dimples appeared on Chu Fang's face.

The two's eyes met, and they smiled together.

Smiling and smiling, Zhong Tingyue's eyes became wet, her strong face became soft, her pupils filled with grievances: "You bastard, why are you only coming now!"

Even when she was kidnapped and chased by Ye Zhijie, Zhong Tingyue didn't shed a tear. At this moment, seeing Chu Fang, the tears in her pupils poured out like a burst dam.

Chu Fang took off his coat and draped it over Zhong Tingyue's shoulders. He said softly, "I'm sorry."

"I don't accept it!"

"Then how can you accept my apology?"

"You must love me, only be good to me, spoil me, don't lie to me; every thing you promise me, you must do... ..."

Yang Meina, He Yi, Wu Di, Wang Wenhao and a group of searchers ran over, and saw Zhong Tingyue lying in Chu Fang's arms, saying unreasonable things.

They looked at each other and smiled together.

The followers cooperated with each other, set up a rain shelter, sheltered from the heavy rain, and also preserved the relevant evidence at the scene, and the doctor also began to examine Zhong Tingyue's body to see if there were any injuries in all aspects.

Fortunately, Zhong Tingyue had no other problems except for being physically weak.

Soon, the police from the jurisdiction came, looked at the scene in front of them, Zhong Tingyue was being served and examined by everyone, while Ye Zhijie was lying in a pool of blood, dead as could be.

Chu Fang told the whole story, many police officers looked at each other, somewhat at a loss.

Kidnapping someone and being killed in self-defense, does he even know how to play?

Many police officers discussed it and came to Zhong Tingyue and said, "Ms. Zhong, please come with us."

"What do you mean?" Chu Fang stood up, facing the leader.
