Chapter 232: Please, Don't Leave Me

The moment she saw Sheng Yu, intense emotions surged within Zhu Yuan, and her eyes instantly turned red.

How could he...

In such a short time, he could not possibly have rushed back from the Sheng Group; his appearance here meant that his leaving today was merely a smokescreen he had set.

He just wanted to catch a turtle in a jar!

Anything she could figure out, Sheng Yu could only have thought through more deeply.

Having been out of contact with the outside world for so many days, someone would surely come looking for her.

Her brother, her grandfather, Song Ci, and Ji Xiang must all be worried sick.

It was just that she had not expected the person who found this place to be Pei Ling.

But even so, she had still been intercepted by Sheng Yu; was she truly unable to leave this place?

At the thought of having to remain in this place, Zhu Yuan subconsciously took a step back.

The trembling of her body and the cold sweat on her palms were all felt by Pei Ling.

He could not help but grip her hand tighter.

Fortunately, the bullet did not hit him; in the instant he barely dodged it, the bullet still grazed the skin on the back of his neck—he could feel the pain and smell the scent of blood, but to him, this was nothing.

The most important thing was that since he had promised not to abandon her, he would certainly not leave her to her fate.

He had come to save her and take her away; if he couldn't rescue her, what kind of man would he be?

And the moment Sheng Yu saw Zhu Yuan's reddened eyes, he frowned—was she going to cry again?

But right now, compared to her crying, he was even more afraid of her leaving.

His Yuanyuan, how could she leave him?

"Yuanyuan, come here." He reached out toward Zhu Yuan.

Gunshots rang out incessantly all around, yet in the center of the smoke, the atmosphere was deathly silent.

Pei Ling's lips were a bit pale; he curled them in a mocking smile and gripped Zhu Yuan's hand tightly, "She is mine now."

Zhu Yuan's hand was gripped painfully, but it made her heart calm down.

She did not correct Pei Ling's words, but instead looked at Sheng Yu; though she wanted to be calm, her voice was a trembling sob the moment she spoke: "Are you trying to put me under house arrest again?"

Seeing their hands clasped together, a ruthless killing intent flashed in the depths of Sheng Yu's eyes.

But when he heard Zhu Yuan's sob, he did not want to frighten her; he suppressed his surging killing intent and lowered the hand holding the gun, "I said, it is to protect the safety of you and the child."

The child!

The expression on Pei Ling's face stiffened slightly; Zhu Yuan's hand was gripped painfully, and as soon as she frowned, Pei Ling loosened his grip.

No wonder her complexion was poor; she had tried to vomit several times but held it back.

However, having grown up in an environment like the Pei Family, things like blood ties and family affection were just disgusting to him.

He tightened his grip on Zhu Yuan's hand, met the cold, piercing gaze of the man opposite him, and signaled for Pei Li to prepare to break through the encirclement; as he looked at Sheng Yu, he also noticed that his men were already closing in again.

Zhu Yuan was held against his chest with his arm around her shoulders for protection; seeing this, Sheng Yu's sinister eyes revealed pure killing intent!

The moment he drew his gun, Pei Li's expression changed, and he fired at the opposite side while shielding Pei Ling.

Sheng Yu's bodyguards all charged forward together; at the critical moment, Situ shot Pei Li!

With the sharp pain in his shoulder, Pei Li gritted his teeth.

He had to help the Second Master rescue Miss Zhu today; Miss Zhu would surely persuade the Second Master to live well, and only with Miss Zhu by his side would the Second Master truly be happy.

However, there were more and more of Sheng Yu's men; this villa was Sheng Yu's territory, and for them, unfamiliar with the terrain, there was no advantage.

Just as a group of bodyguards in black climbed out of the surrounding vehicles and drew their guns toward Pei Ling's side, Zhu Yuan grabbed Pei Ling's hand and pressed his pistol against her own head.

Sheng Yu's expression changed abruptly, and he shouted sternly: "Stop!"

Bang!

Pei Ling turned his hand, and the bullet flew off-course!

The next second, Pei Ling shoved her hand away, his face deathly pale from being frightened by her actions, "Are you fucking crazy!"

The hand holding the pistol trembled from lingering fear; if he had reacted even a second slower just now, that bullet would have struck her head, and she would have died without a doubt!

The gunfire in this small area ceased; because of Zhu Yuan's actions, no one dared to fire again.

Zhu Yuan could not feel the pain in her fingers; she breathed powerlessly and laughed as if she had nothing left to lose, tears falling like broken beads, "Don't force me."

For so many days, she had never considered such a desperate measure, because she still held a shred of leeway for Sheng Yu; after all, they had truly loved each other.

They did not have to reach this point.

He could have clearly let her go.

Yet he had to force her into a dead end!

"Yuanyuan, how dare you!" Sheng Yu's face was as dark as ink; the moment all his anger surged into his heart, a wave of lingering fear crept into his mind, yet he could only repeat, "How dare you!"

And Pei Ling, holding Zhu Yuan's hand, narrowed his eyes.

The timing was just right!

Suddenly, the roar of Harley motorcycles echoed one after another on the mountain road; the black motorcycles cut through the smoke, arriving with the speed of lightning!

The killers on the bikes, wearing helmets, swept Sheng Yu's men with gunfire!

Gunfire continued all around, yet Sheng Yu's gaze remained locked onto Zhu Yuan.

The lingering fear faded, and upon seeing the determination in Zhu Yuan's eyes, his numb heart felt a sudden, sharp pain.

There was not a trace of love left in her eyes.

Yuanyuan, don't leave me—

The moment Sheng Yu opened his mouth, a bullet struck his chest!

Not far away, Secretary Jiang, who had climbed up the hillside and broken through the encirclement, held up his smoking pistol; seeing Sheng Yu hit, a look of joy appeared on his face.

The Sheng Group could finally return to the hands of Mr. Sheng!

When that time comes, he will be able to enter the Board of Directors, become a member of the Board of Directors, and no one will ever look down on him again!

But the next second, with a bang of a gunshot, he fell to the ground in response.

A hole exploded in his forehead, and fresh blood gushed out, but no one cared.

On the other side, Zhu Yuan froze in place.

She saw Situ and Enzo rushing toward the man; that man who once commanded the winds and clouds was kneeling on the ground, his white shirt stained red with blood at his chest.

He... had been shot.

Zhu Yuan's face turned deathly pale, her whole body felt icy cold, and her vision went black in waves.

Pei Ling was quick-witted and pulled her into his arms; the Bodyguard beside him instantly stepped forward to protect his surroundings, escorting him as he took Zhu Yuan into the car.

"Bring Pei Li back alive." After leaving those words behind, Pei Ling stepped on the accelerator.

Watching helplessly as Zhu Yuan was taken into the car by Pei Ling, the man kneeling on the ground with cold sweat on his forehead had thin lips devoid of any color, and his scarlet eyes on his pale face seemed as if they could drip blood.

"Young Master Yu!"

"Young Master Yu!"

Situ and Enzo were pushed away by the man; fresh blood dripped from his chest onto the ground, but he ignored it, pulled open the car door, sat inside, didn't fasten his seatbelt, and floored the accelerator to chase after them!

The car sped away, the blood from Sheng Yu's chest flowing more and more, his complexion already showing a sickly pallor; he gritted his teeth, staring at the rear of the car in front, and a single tear slid down his face.

Yuanyuan, don't leave me!

I beg you, don't!
