Chapter 233 Su Qingge worried: You mustn't go, it's too dangerous.
"Where are you going...?"
Su Qingge's voice was terribly hoarse, filled with the sound of sobbing.
That trembling voice, filled with despair and fear, was like a rusty knife, piercing deeply into Lin Zhou's most tender heart.
Lin Zhou froze.
The black travel bag he was carrying seemed to weigh a ton at that moment.
He slowly turned around and looked at the thin and fragile woman in front of him.
Su Qingge walked barefoot on the cold floor.
She wasn't wearing a coat; her thin silk pajamas looked so helpless in the air.
Her beautiful peach blossom eyes were red like a rabbit's, and tears fell like broken beads.
"Wife..."
Lin Zhou's Adam's apple bobbed, and he was about to make up a reason for going on a business trip to another city.
"You lied to me!"
Su Qingge suddenly took a step forward.
She hugged Lin Zhou's waist like a frightened little animal.
Because she rushed too hard, she crashed heavily into Lin Zhou's strong chest.
"I heard everything..."
Su Qingge buried her face tightly in Lin Zhou's cold tactical jacket.
Her hands were wrapped tightly around Lin Zhou's lower back, her knuckles turning white from the extreme force.
She cried her heart out, her tears instantly soaking through the fabric of Lin Zhou's clothes.
"I overheard what you and Uncle Chen were saying at the corner of the stairs."
"What drug wolves, what Las Vegas, what K Organization!"
"Lin Zhou, are you crazy! Those are a bunch of ruthless killers!"
Su Qingge looked up at Lin Zhou with tears streaming down her face.
His eyes were filled with heartbreaking pleading.
"You mustn't go! Please, I beg you, don't go!"
"It's too dangerous there. If you go alone and something happens, how will Nuonuo and I survive?"
Seeing his wife in such a state of collapse, Lin Zhou felt an overwhelming pang of heartache.
He loosened his grip on the travel bag.
With a "thud," the bag fell onto the carpet.
He reached out and cupped Su Qingge's tear-streaked face in his hands.
"Qingge, listen to me."
Lin Zhou's voice was extremely gentle, trying to soothe her nearly collapsing emotions.
"I'm not going to my death, I'm going to resolve a problem. I'm confident I can get out unscathed."
"I won't listen!"
Su Qingge shook her head desperately, tears flying everywhere with her movements.
This is a cold and aloof female CEO who is usually decisive and ruthless in the business world.
At this moment, she felt as humble as a little girl afraid of losing everything.
"I don't want the status of being the young mistress of a multi-billion dollar conglomerate anymore."
"I don't want Starry Sky Media to become the number one in the domestic entertainment industry anymore."
"We want none of it—the theaters, the copyrights, even all the Lin family's money!"
Su Qingge gripped Lin Zhou's arm tightly, her nails almost digging into his flesh.
"We'll donate all the money, or give it back to them."
"We took Nuonuo and hid in a small city where nobody knew us."
"You keep cooking for me, I'll just find a job at a small company."
"Lin Zhou, as long as the three of us are safe and sound together, I'm willing to eat simple meals every day!"
Hearing these words, Lin Zhou's heart suddenly clenched.
With a wife like this, what more could a husband ask for?
This foolish woman was actually willing to give up the immense wealth and power that were within her grasp for him.
Lin Zhou took a deep breath.
With his rough fingertips, he gently wiped away the tears from the corners of Su Qingge's eyes, bit by bit.
Then he pulled her into his broad embrace with all his might.
His chin rested between her hair.
Lin Zhou's voice became incredibly steady, conveying an undeniable sense of responsibility and authority.
"fool."
"If this is just a business dispute that can be resolved with money, I, Lin Zhou, will not be stingy with a single penny. Why not just throw it all at them?"
"But Qingge, this isn't about money."
A chilling glint flashed in Lin Zhou's eyes, but his tone remained gentle.
"The other side is a bunch of mad dogs with no bottom line who treat human life like dirt."
"They carry the blood debt of dozens of members of the Lin family on their shoulders."
"Even if we hand over all our assets, they will never let us go."
Lin Zhou pulled Su Qingge away from his arms slightly.
He stared intently at those swollen, red peach blossom eyes.
"Yesterday afternoon, that one-eyed killer was already standing outside Nuonuo's kindergarten."
"He's looking at our daughter."
"He's staring at my bottom line with the eyes of someone eyeing prey!"
Su Qingge trembled. When she heard that Nuonuo was being targeted, a look of extreme fear flashed in her eyes.
As a mother, this was something she absolutely could not tolerate.
"This group of people is like venomous snakes hiding in dark sewers."
Lin Zhou gritted his teeth and spoke slowly and deliberately.
"As long as they are alive, this sword hanging over our heads could fall at any moment."
"We can hide for a year or two, but can we hide forever?"
"Can you tolerate Nuonuo being surrounded by layers of bodyguards every day on her way to school, and even having to be on tenterhooks when going to the amusement park?"
Su Qingge fell silent.
Her tears were still flowing, but the grip on Lin Zhou's arm loosened slightly without her realizing it.
She is an extremely intelligent woman.
She knew Lin Zhou was right.
Taking a step back won't bring you a brighter future; it will only lead to further exploitation and relentless destruction.
"Therefore, I cannot back down."
Lin Zhou's eyes became more resolute and cold than ever before.
"If I back down, you and Nuonuo will be in greater danger."
"I am your husband and Nuonuo's father. Since those bastards dare to set their sights on you..."
"Then I must take the initiative and personally break their spines, one vertebra at a time!"
"I will eradicate this danger at its root and nip it in the bud!"
Lin Zhou's words struck Su Qingge's heart like a heavy hammer.
This man is risking his life to fight for a stable future for the mother and daughter.
Su Qingge stopped trying to stop her.
She simply hugged Lin Zhou even tighter, as if she wanted to etch his scent into her mind forever.
"Then promise me..."
Su Qingge closed her eyes, and tears silently streamed down her face.
"You must come back safely."
Lin Zhou cupped her cheeks.
A very deep and heavy kiss was placed on her forehead.
This kiss contained both tenderness and resolve.
"Wait for me at West Hill Fortress."
Lin Zhou released his grip and picked up the black travel bag from the ground again.
"Give Nuonuo a kiss for me, and tell her that Daddy went to beat up the big bad guy for her."
Lin Zhou turned around and didn't look back.
He strode down the stairs with long, firm steps.
Old Chen was already standing at the villa's entrance, respectfully opening the door of the bulletproof SUV.
In the polar night before dawn, a cold wind blew against Lin Zhou's cool face, which was covered by a baseball cap.
He threw his travel bag into the car.
I turned around and glanced at the beautiful figure standing behind the curtains on the second floor, silently shedding tears.
Lin Zhou lowered the brim of his hat, concealing the overwhelming murderous intent in his eyes.
He made his final promise to the endless night.
"When I come back, I promise you, I won't be missing a single hair."
