Chapter 368: Oath in the storm
Chapter 368 The Oath in the Storm
His eyes were as if he wanted to eat someone. He pursed his lips and watched her cough without saying a word.
The more urgent Xia Ling asked, the uglier his expression became. When the rescuers came to her with an empty stretcher, he even coldly stepped away and moved away.
Xia Ling was like a drowning person. She grabbed the rescuers beside her and asked, "Do you know how Li Lei is doing? Tell me, please tell me!"
“You mean the person our other helicopter went to rescue? Don’t worry, I’ll use the communication device to ask you later…”
“Let’s see who dares to tell her!” Pei Ziheng suddenly became angry.
Everyone was silent.
The team member who was talking to Xia Ling looked at her apologetically and said nothing.
Xia Ling was carried onto the helicopter in a daze. Her whole body was fixed with temporary splints, making her unable to move. Unable to turn her head, she could only stare at the empty ceiling: "Pei Ziheng, where are you? Tell me...tell me about Li Lei's situation..."
One sound after another, repeated, my throat gradually became dry and hoarse.
The helicopter took off with a huge roar.
She heard someone reporting something to him, "Coma..." "Li Lei..."
Scattered words floated over.
Xia Ling strained her ears to listen, but the roar was so loud that she couldn't hear it clearly no matter how hard she tried. Pei Ziheng seemed to have ordered something to the rescuers, and they said, "Yes." Then there was a long silence.
"Pei Ziheng..." she coughed and murmured, "tell me..."
He finally came over, leaned down beside her, and said, "Li Lei is not dead."
She was ecstatic and struggled to turn her eyes to look at him.
There was no expression on his face, "But the situation is very bad. He is unconscious and his vital signs are weak. The rescue team judges that he may have serious internal injuries and needs timely rescue."
Xia Ling’s heart was hanging in the air again: “Save him!”
"Yes, but Xia Ling," Pei Ziheng stared at her and called her name one by one, "How can you guarantee that you won't return to him after I rescue him?"
She was stunned, and shuddered as she thought of Pei Ziheng's harsh methods.
"You..." she closed her eyes and said bitterly, "I have fallen into your hands, can I still escape?" What appeared in front of her eyes was the villa at that time, a cold and huge bedroom full of monitors, gold chain…
That was her eternal nightmare.
But he said, "I don't have to lock you up."
Xia Ling was stunned again. What new trick did he want to play?
"You can continue to sing and do what you want, just like a long time ago, before those things happened." His voice gradually softened, "Xiao Ling, don't be angry anymore, let's live a good life."
Zhi Qi?
So, in his eyes, all this was just her venting her anger?
My chest felt tight and painful, and countless turbulent waves rolled through my heart, making me breathless.
Seeing that she remained silent, Pei Ziheng continued: "You have to swear a vicious oath that you will never leave me." "What if I say no?"
“That villa has been empty for two years, and everything in it is still the same. If you move back in, you won’t have to spend much time cleaning it up.”
This threat is simple, yet effective.
"Okay, I swear..." She said slowly in a weak voice, "I, Xia Ling, my name is Ye Xingling in this life, I swear here that I will never leave Pei Ziheng, otherwise, I will be thundered... Well ”
He covered her mouth with his hand.
Xia Ling looked at him in confusion, his face was terrifyingly gloomy.
"Xia Ling," he said coldly, "don't try to escape by death again. I will not give you a second chance. No one can kill you. This oath does not count."
When she swore the oath, she didn't think too much. It turned out that thunder and lightning could also be used as a means to escape from him. The price of death was too tragic. How could she try it unless she was forced into a desperate situation? But...she looked at the gloomy and angry face of the man in front of her, and waves of fear surged into her heart. She didn't know what would be waiting for her when she went back this time. Maybe suicide was also a good choice.
"Xia Ling." As if he could see through her thoughts, he clamped her chin and raised it, "You must swear two oaths, first, not to commit suicide, and second, not to leave. Your life will not count. —I want you to swear on Li Lei’s life that if you violate your oath, he will die in the streets and he will not die a good death!”
This madman…
How could she swear on Li Lei's life? !
Xia Ling shook her head desperately and struggled in his hand. No, she didn't swear!
"Don't tell me." His sigh seemed to come from the boundless hell, and he slowly released his grip on her, "Li Lei is still on another helicopter. Guess what will happen if the rescue fails?"
"You beast!" Xia Ling screamed after understanding the danger in his words, "The Li family is a gangster! If Li Lei has any shortcomings, they won't let you go!"
Pei Ziheng smiled gently, looking at her as if he were looking at an ignorant child: "I know that the Li family is a gangster, and I also know that Li Lei has an uncle who is the godfather of the mafia, but I know even better," He paused and said, "This is a place in the country that is difficult for black forces to touch. The family that can make all the changes here is named Pei."
He was very patient, just as he was when he taught her to read and write: "Yes, if I were to go out and kill Li Lei today, I would cause some trouble. But now it's him who comes to her door, life or death is uncertain, and he's trying to save her." He died quietly in the process - what reasons do you think they can use to prosecute? "
"They want to deal with people, do they need a reason?!" Xia Ling was shaken by what he said, but her words were tough.
Pei Ziheng smiled again, becoming more and more cheerful: "Xiao Ling, singing is still suitable for you. As for intrigues..." He looked at her dotingly, "Would you like to bet which force can shake me after Li Lei dies here? ? - Guess, is it his good brother Li Feng, or the out-of-reach mafia? "
"You!" Xia Ling was anxious and angry, her chest rising and falling rapidly, "Pei Ziheng, do you think forcing me to swear will work?! Tell you, I don't believe this! I don't believe it!"
“Two lives are human beings,” he stared at her, as if he wanted to see into the depths of her soul, “How could you not believe in the gods and ghosts in the sky?”
She was said to be a dead end, yes, how could she not believe it?
What happened to her was too bizarre, including rebirth, fate, being orphaned and widowed, and having a brother who was a national master. It was as if there was a master in the dark, and the invisible laws of heaven and earth were controlling everything. Even though people all over the world looked down upon those illusory things, she didn't dare not believe it or be disrespectful.
She even remembered a joke many, many years ago: [Zi Heng, if one day you stop loving me, I will jump from here and make you regret it for the rest of your life. ]
At that time, she pointed to the high stage with one finger and turned to Pei Ziheng with a smile.
What is said to be a true prophecy, it is enough to do it once.
