Zhou Yi's voice, for Lin Zhizhi, had a kind of trust that made her instinctively feel at ease.
Under his comfort, Lin Zhizhi leaned obediently in his arms and stopped moving. However, she grabbed the hand of Zhou Yi's clothes as hard as if she wanted to tear it.
She was still afraid.
Afraid that none of this is real.
Her panic was conveyed to Zhou Yi.
He raised his hand and patted her back gently, and continued to comfort her softly: "Don't worry, it's okay, no one will hurt you again."
"You're really here..."
Lin Zhizhi put her head on his chest, her eyes were red, and she felt like crying.
As if she was telling Zhou Yi her grievances, she told him: "I thought... I was going to be finished... They forced me to marry Jiang Yan. If I didn't agree, they put me under house arrest and controlled my free movement. , and also took away my mobile phone and prevented me from contacting the outside world..."
Lin Zhizhi spoke tremblingly, her tone choked with sobs.
No matter how wronged she was before, she was not willing to show her weak side in front of those people.
But for some reason, she couldn't control herself in front of Zhou Yi.
Zhou Yi's heart clenched as he listened to her mute cries.
How dare the Lin family treat her like this!
Zhou Yi couldn't imagine how Lin Zhizhi could persevere until now under the pressure of those wolves.
His voice was also a little hoarse, and he hugged her tightly, "I know, I know everything. I checked before I came here. I guessed that you must have been forced. will come to save you.
It's okay now. Can you tell me what happened? Also, how did you get the injury in your mouth? Are there any other injuries on your body? What exactly have they done to you? "
Zhou Yi thought of the blood stained on the napkin just now and couldn't be sure whether Lin Zhizhi was also injured.
He was very worried about Lin Zhizhi's condition.
This caring tone made Ling Zhizhi once again unable to hold back the sourness in her eyes, and tears rolled down her face.
She sobbed and told Zhou Yi, "There are no other injuries. As for the injury on my mouth, I bit it myself..."
Thinking of the scene during the day, Lin Zhizhi did not regret her decision at that time.
When Zhou Yi heard this, his heart ached, "What's going on?"
Lin Zhizhi said: "Jiang Yan came to force me again. He said that after getting married, he would take me abroad to settle down and would never come back again. He would spend his whole life with me. I didn't agree, and I was very afraid of really I would be taken away by him, so I just thought...I thought...it would be better not to live..."
Because there was a wound in her mouth, every word Ling Zhizhi said would be drawn to the wound on her tongue. She was so painful that she couldn't speak clearly, but she still stumbled through the words.
Zhou Yi heard clearly.
His heart couldn't help but beat a little.
It's hard to imagine how desperate Lin Zhizhi felt at that time.
How dare that beast Jiang Yan force her like this!
He even tried to take her abroad!
"Although this is the case, but you..."
Zhou Yi couldn't help but look at her, "How could you do such a stupid thing?"
Ling Zhizhi had such a determined temper. If he had come a little later, and if her suicidal behavior had not been stopped, would he never be able to see her again in this life?
Zhou Yi felt scared for a while thinking about it.
When Lin Zhizhi heard his words, her tears suddenly fell even harder, "But, there's nothing I can do..."
It's not like she didn't have the extravagant hope that she would be saved.
But good luck does not happen to a person every time.
Lin Zhizhi's initial expectations had been dashed as early as this half month.
Zhou Yi felt his heart throbbing when he heard her crying.
He raised his hand to wipe her tears and comforted her softly, "Don't cry! Go on, why did they force you to get married? Why did you come back here suddenly? Was it their plan?"
"Um!"
Lin Zhizhi nodded, "They are all here for money."
"My uncle used to run a small company. This year's profits were very poor. He encountered an economic crisis and is now almost bankrupt. After Jiang Yan found out about this, he approached them and promised that he could make a sum of money. Funds to help them tide over the difficulties, provided that I marry him.
That amount of money is not a small amount. Even if the bank is willing to give my uncle's family a loan, they won't be able to get that much money. Jiang Yan also said that my uncle's family doesn't need to pay back the money.
My uncle's family agreed, and they started to go to my parents. After hearing this, my parents disagreed, and then... they took my parents under control, and then used this as a threat to call me back.
Half a month ago, I received a notice and hurried home. When I got here, I was controlled by them..."
Recalling the scene that day, Lin Zhizhi felt a little sarcastic.
She laughed at herself and said, "How afraid are they that they won't be able to keep me? The Lin family arranged so many bodyguards inside and outside, and then Jiang Yan mobilized my uncle's family, as well as my grandparents, to do ideological work for me. …”
Zhou Yi clenched his fists tightly and wished he could beat Jiang Yan and Uncle Lin's family on the spot.
At the same time, when he heard that Lin Zhizhi's grandparents were also involved, he was even more furious, "Your uncle's family is so greedy for money, why are your grandparents like them?"
Ling Zhizhi sniffed and sneered: "Because they favor boys over girls and only like my uncle's son. My granddaughter was almost thrown away when she was born...
For them, my current value is that I can exchange money for their eldest grandson. Why do they care about this? "
If not, she wouldn't want to come back when she grows up and becomes independent.
After listening to Lin Zhizhi's words, Zhou Yi's eyes darkened.
He no longer knew how to feel sorry for this little girl who seemed strong but was actually fragile.
Zhou Yi could only comfort her: "Don't be afraid now. Since I'm back, no one can force you to marry someone you don't like, and no one can force you to do something you don't want to do. Let's go, I'll take you away now." !”
Zhou Yi moved swiftly and directly picked the person up, intending to leave.
Lin Zhizhi was moved, but she tightened her grip on his clothes and said anxiously: "No, special assistant, I can't leave yet..."
Zhou Yi looked at her doubtfully and asked, "Why? Are you still staying here?"
His brows darkened.
Ling Zhizhi knew that he was worried about her, so she quickly explained to him, "I also want to leave, but my parents... are still in their hands!"
If she just leaves on her own, when the Lin family finds out, their anger will be implicated on her parents.
Zhou Yi also realized this.
He frowned and asked Ling Zhizhi, "Do you know where your parents are now?"
