Quick Transmigration: Why did you provoke him? He's love-struck!

Chapter 108 Deviation (30)

The landlord stood next to Zhou Rang, wanting to say a few words of comfort, but didn't know where to begin.

At that moment, a hissing sound came from the walkie-talkie in the cockpit. After a burst of static, the police officer connected the signal, and a hoarse male voice came through.

"Ahem, I'm Chen Hui."

The police officer perked up and quickly asked, "Brother Hui, where are you?"

Hearing the commotion, Zhou Rang and the landlord quickly entered the cockpit.

The three men huddled in the cockpit, nervously staring at the walkie-talkie.

"The fishing boat caught fire, and Miss Ming and I jumped into the sea. We were rescued by a nearby fishing boat. Our current coordinates are..." Uncle Hui gave out a series of coordinates, which were not far away.

Zhou Rang quickly grabbed the walkie-talkie: "Where's Ming Yiwei? How is she? Is she alright?"

A jumble of noises came from the other end of the walkie-talkie, and a few seconds later, Yan Zhen's voice came through: "I'm fine."

These three words were like a reassuring pill, instantly calming Zhou's anxiety.

"I'll pick you up."

"it is good."

After informing the coast guard that Uncle Hui and Yan Zhen were still alive, the spare boat set off for Yan Zhen's location.

The backup boat arrived at the location in less than half an hour.

It was a dilapidated fishing boat, but much larger than Uncle Hui's broken boat. Zhou Rang was the first to board. He glanced at the deck and, seeing no one, immediately went into the cabin without waiting for anyone on the fishing boat to call him.

When he saw Yan Zhen, soaking wet and huddled in the cabin wrapped in a blanket, his Adam's apple bobbed, and his eyes reddened again.

Yan Zhen saw him standing still, staring at him intently. In just a few seconds, tears rolled down his cheeks as he blinked.

She was slightly startled.

Where's the aloof and domineering CEO we were promised?

Why did you suddenly turn into a crybaby?

Although she thought that way, Yan Zhen knew that she had probably scared him quite a bit this time, so she took the initiative to stretch out her arms to him and make a hugging motion.

Zhou ran over and pulled her into his arms, hugging her tightly.

What does it mean to lose something and then get it back?

That's probably it.

He held Yan Zhen in his arms, choking back tears.

Yan Zhen let him hug her, gently patting his back to comfort him, "I'm sorry, did I scare you? My new phone fell into the sea again, otherwise I should have contacted Yudao earlier..."

Zhou Rang shook his head, his voice trembling with tears: "It's good that you're alright."

Upon seeing this, the police officers and the landlord who came in later wisely went out to look for Uncle Hui on the deck.

After a while, Zhou Rang calmed down. He asked the fishing boat owner for a towel and knelt down behind Yan Zhen to dry her half-dry hair.

He asked about the incident involving the fishing boat, and Yan Zhen organized his thoughts and gave a half-truth, half-lies.

"It's the same group of people who broke into my house last time. They chased our boat in a speedboat and wanted me to go with them. I guess they wanted to capture me so they could threaten you into leaving the island."

“Uncle Hui’s fishing boat couldn’t outrun them, so I had to set the boat on fire. They didn’t dare to get close. Uncle Hui took me and jumped into the sea to escape. Nearby fishing boats received the distress signal and rushed over to rescue us.”

Zhou Rang felt both heartache and guilt: "I'm sorry, I've dragged you into this."

Yan Zhen shook his head: "It's alright, we're out of danger now."

Zhou Rang was silent for a moment, then said, "Their target is me. Even if you go with them, they won't dare to do anything to you. I will go and rescue you..."

"No." Yan Zhen interrupted him, her gaze unwavering. "I won't let you get into such a dangerous situation."

Zhou felt a warmth in his heart and his mind went blank. He pulled her into his arms and said, "Ming Yiwei, let's be together. I'll go back with you to get a divorce, and then we'll get married."

"it is good."

She agreed so readily that Zhou Rang was stunned, after all, he had come up with a whole bunch of reasons to slowly persuade her.

"You agreed?"

"Hmm." Yan Zhen pursed his lips and looked away shyly. "When I fell into the sea and was about to drown, all I could think about was you. The thought of never seeing you again made me feel so regretful and sad... The books are right, life is only a few decades long, and once you die, you can't come back. I want to be brave and be with the person I love."

Joy exploded in his heart like fireworks. Zhou Rang could hardly believe his ears, and his eyes welled up with tears again: "Xiao Wei... thank you!"

Seeing that he was about to cry again, Yan Zhen immediately cupped his cheeks: "Crying again? Are you made of water?"

Zhou Rang then suppressed his tears, leaned over and pressed his forehead against hers, gently rubbing it.

Yan Zhen remembered something, pushed Zhou Rang away and asked in a low voice, "Um, you said before that your assets are pretty good... is that true?"

Zhou Rang nodded: "You need money?"

Yan Zhen rubbed his hands together, looking embarrassed. "I told Uncle Hui I would compensate him with a boat before he agreed to burn it to drive those people away. I just asked them and they said a boat costs this much."

She held up five fingers and waved them in front of him, saying pitifully, "I didn't expect it to be so expensive, I don't have enough money on me."

Zhou Rang was amused by her embarrassed look and held her fingers in his palm: "I'll take care of it."

Yan Zhen breathed a sigh of relief and turned her back to Zhou Rang, who continued to dry her hair.

When Zhou Rang couldn't see her, she became nonchalant.

The second thing to do after leaving the island was to use "faking death" to force Zhou Rang to do something.

Having experienced losing and regaining something, he should now make up his mind to leave the island.

-

Yan Zhen was right. After returning to the fishing island, Zhou Rang first took her to the clinic for a check-up.

After confirming that she was alright, he borrowed the clinic doctor's phone to make a call.

When they got home, he said seriously, "Xiao Wei, we can't stay on the island any longer. We need to leave as soon as possible."

Those people know they're on the island, and they've openly clashed with them; sooner or later, they'll find their way to the island.

Yan Zhen nodded: "Okay."

"I've already contacted my men, and they'll come pick us up in a helicopter."

Yan Zhen's expression froze.

Helicopter?

Wouldn't that mean flying straight back to the Zhou family in Fengcheng?

If she were to brazenly return to the Zhou family with Zhou Rang, and their identities as niece-in-law and uncle were exposed, Zhou Rang's wicked mother-in-law would probably beat her to death and cleanse the family before he even realized what was happening.

Moreover, it's uncertain whether Zhou Rang can accept her as his nephew's wife; he will face opposition from the entire clan.

Zhou Rang doesn't mind that she's married, but he might not be able to get over the fact that the girl he likes is his nephew's wife.

If he can't withstand the pressure of immorality and sever ties with her, Zhou Yan will definitely not let her go.

No, she can't appear at the Zhou family's house at the same time as Zhou Rang, at least not now.

Seeing Yan Zhen frowning and his eyes darting around, Zhou Rang asked, "What's wrong?"

Yan Zhen bit her lower lip and whispered, "I'm afraid of heights."

"Afraid to fly?"

“Okay.” Yan Zhen said again, “You go back first, I’ll take the spare boat out of the island.”

Zhou Rang shook his head: "Let's take the spare boat off the island together."

Having experienced such a terrible thing, how could he feel at ease letting Yan Zhen leave the island alone?
