Chapter 128 True Friendship is Revealed in Times of Adversity (1)
Cai Qingqing was already taller and had a larger frame, and with Yan Zuozuo now pregnant, she was no match for Cai Qingqing and could only let her pull her towards the road.
Yan Zuozuo struggled as Cai Qingqing dragged her along. She was both anxious and scared. "Let me go! Let me go!"
"Shut up!" Cai Qingqing shouted, her face contorted as she looked at her. "If you want to live, come with me. Otherwise, I'll kill you right now!"
Yan Zuozuo's heart was pounding. She tried her best to protect her lower abdomen. She couldn't be nervous or afraid. The more panicked she was, the more she would agitate Cai Qingqing. She had to calm down.
Taking a deep breath, Yan Zuozuo tried to speak calmly, "Cai Qingqing, I'll go wherever you want to go, but please let me go first, okay?"
"No!" Cai Qingqing refused outright, leaving no room for negotiation, and pulled Yan Zuozuo forward even faster.
Yan Zuozuo was in pain from being pulled so hard, and they were about to reach the road, but Cai Qingqing showed no sign of stopping.
Suddenly, she turned around and looked at Yan Zuozuo with a strange expression. "Didn't you want to know what I'm going to do? I'll tell you now."
Yan Zuozuo stared intently at her, her eyes fixed on her alluring face as she approached. She suddenly blew a puff of hot air at her, then giggled, "See those cars on the road? We'll stand in the middle of the road later and see who's luckier, you or me. The one who survives is the winner, you understand?"
Yan Zuozuo shook her head frantically. She didn't understand, and she didn't want to understand at all. This woman was crazy, but she didn't want to be crazy with her. She clutched her stomach tightly, unable to imagine what would happen if she stood in the middle of a busy road.
"Scared already?" Cai Qingqing sneered, her tone dark. "I've ended up like this because of you. If you hadn't shown up, Chi Moqing would definitely have come back to me. It's all your fault, you instigated him to ruin my family. I wish I could kill you right now!"
Yan Zuozuo was stunned, looking at her in horror, "Are you crazy!"
"Heh, yes, I've gone mad. You and Chi Moqing drove me insane. Since you've ruined me like this, I'll make sure you suffer a terrible death!" Cai Qingqing grabbed Yan Zuozuo's arm tightly, shouting. She suddenly pulled her closer, her enormous face looming large in front of Yan Zuozuo, and said with a sinister expression, "Anyway, I'm going to die anyway. Having you and the child in your belly with me is enough. Yan Zuozuo, you'll come to hell with me, come to hell with me, go to hell!"
Cai Qingqing had completely lost her mind. Her face was contorted as she glared at Yan Zuozuo, gritting her teeth as she said, "Doesn't Chi Moqing love you so much? I'd like to see if he'll live on if you die. You've ruined me, and I'll make sure you all suffer a terrible death!"
"You're crazy, you're insane!" Yan Zuozuo's scalp ached from Cai Qingqing's tugging, but she endured the pain and said, "Cai Qingqing, stop being so stubborn. It's not too late for you to turn back now, but if you keep going your own way, you'll be completely ruined."
"Heh, I don't even care about my life anymore, why would I care about being destroyed?" Cai Qingqing sneered, pulling Yan Zuozuo a few steps further into the middle of the road. She looked at Yan Zuozuo with a cold smile, "Are you scared? Then keep being scared. Do you know why I don't kill you now? It's because I prefer to see your fear before you die. I want you to die in front of Chi Moqing, and even if he's still alive, he'll never have a peaceful life!" With that, she took out a dagger from her pocket, held it to Yan Zuozuo's neck, and dragged her into the middle of the road.
This was a highway exit, and the traffic was heavy and fast-moving. Yan Zuozuo was truly terrified; Cai Qingqing was dragging her, and they were almost in the middle of the road. Cars on the highway kept honking their horns and whizzing past them.
Yan Zuozuo skillfully dodged one car after another, weaving through the traffic with narrow escapes. One driver, seeing the situation was getting out of hand, yelled, "Hey, what are you doing!"
Cai Qingqing glared at him fiercely, while Li Shang held a knife to Yan Zuozuo's neck and shouted at the driver, "This has nothing to do with you, get out of here!"
This was a highway, and the driver didn't dare to stop, so he had to proceed slowly and quickly call the police. Other vehicles also noticed the unusual situation on the road and slowed down, some out of curiosity to watch the commotion, others busy calling 110 for help. Even so, traffic continued to flow on the highway.
The situation was dangerous. Some drivers stopped their cars behind the safety lines and got out to try and rescue Yan Zuozuo. She was a heavily pregnant woman; a mishap could result in the death of both mother and child. But Cai Qingqing, holding a knife, stood in the middle of the road threatening, "Nobody come any closer, or I'll stab her to death!"
More and more drivers stopped on the highway, none daring to approach rashly, fearing that Cai Qingqing might actually do something serious. The police immediately pulled up the surveillance footage, recognized Cai Qingqing and Yan Zuozuo, and then notified Chi Moqing.
The onlookers were discussing it animatedly and becoming increasingly anxious.
Cai Qingqing narrowed her eyes, gripping Yan Zuozuo tightly to prevent her from escaping. She warily looked around at the people, "Why isn't anyone driving? Get in the car! Everyone get in the car! This is a highway exit! Come on, come on, run me over..."
"Girl, if you're having trouble thinking about something, don't do anything foolish. Put the knife down right now," someone nearby advised.
"I'm not thinking anything of it. I don't even want to live anymore, so what's there to be upset about? None of you stop me, go get the car and ram it into me, come on, come on!" Cai Qingqing shouted, then burst into maniacal laughter, brandishing the knife and nearly slashing Yan Zuozuo's face several times, making those around her tremble with fear.
The entire highway exit was completely paralyzed as people rushed off to watch the crazy spectacle, and some even filmed it and posted it online.
Yan Zuozuo clutched her stomach, not daring to look at the dagger in Cai Qingqing's hand. She bit her lip tightly, afraid that Cai Qingqing would accidentally drop the knife on her.
Upon receiving the call from the police station, Chi Moqing immediately rushed over. He was terribly worried the entire way; his palms, forehead, and even his back were drenched in cold sweat. He had never been so afraid of anything before. If anything were to happen to Yan Zuozuo, he couldn't even imagine what he would become.
He felt his heart stop beating, and he forgot to breathe. He just kept pressing the accelerator, faster and faster! He didn't care about his own safety at all, only thinking about getting to Yan Zuozuo's side as soon as possible.
Meanwhile, traffic police and criminal investigation team rushed over at the same time. Seeing the shocking scene before them, no one dared to step forward rashly. They could only try their best to persuade Cai Qingqing and hope that she would change her mind.
However, the results were minimal.
Chi Moqing finally arrived and, upon seeing Cai Qingqing holding Yan Zuozuo hostage, shouted, "Cai Qingqing!"
Cai Qingqing looked in the direction of the voice and saw Chi Moqing standing in front of the crowd. She was stunned for a moment, then her eyes reddened, and her lips trembled as she softly called out, "Moqing..."
The crowd turned to look, and some recognized Chi Moqing, the renowned president of the Chi Group and the male protagonist of the recent viral toilet incident. The crowd began to stir.
Chi Moqing's eyes were fixed on Yan Zuozuo, silently telling her: Don't be afraid.
Yan Zuozuo looked at her, and her fear suddenly seemed to be calmed down. She wanted to believe in him, no matter what!
Cai Qingqing noticed the exchange of glances between the two, and her anger flared even more. She tightened her grip on Yan Zuozuo's neck, her other hand gripping the dagger tightly, and glared at Chi Moqing with a sinister look. "You've finally come."
Chi Moqing's heart was clenched tightly. He saw Yan Zuozuo's face turn red from Cai Qingqing's slap, and a surge of tension rose in his heart. He roared at Cai Qingqing, "If you have any hatred or resentment, come at me! Let her go!" As he spoke, he moved closer to Cai Qingqing.
As soon as Cai Qingqing saw him coming, she immediately roared, "Stop! You're not allowed to come any closer! If you take another step, I'll kill her right now!" Her dagger was pointed at Yan Zuozuo's chest, and she glared at Chi Moqing with a twisted expression.
Chi Moqing paused, hesitant to take another step. His hands, hanging limply at his sides, clenched tightly. No matter how agile his movements, he dared not gamble with Yan Zuozuo's and the child's lives. They were his everything; he couldn't afford to take that risk!
Yan Zuozuo felt her breathing becoming increasingly difficult, and Cai Qingqing, due to her emotional agitation, tightened her breathing even more. She had a feeling of oxygen deprivation, her mind went blank, and everything went black before her eyes.
"Cai Qingqing, let go!" Chi Moqing noticed Yan Zuozuo's change and shouted. His worried eyes were fixed on the dagger in Cai Qingqing's hand, and he dared not move.
Cai Qingqing looked down at Yan Zuozuo's distressed appearance and suddenly seemed to understand why Chi Moqing had lost control. She chuckled and said to Yan Zuozuo, "Are you feeling unwell? Don't worry, I'll relax a bit. After all, I haven't planned to let you die like this yet."
She indeed relaxed her grip, and Yan Zuozuo's breathing returned to normal, and her complexion gradually returned to normal as well.
Cai Qingqing looked at Chi Moqing with a defiant gaze: "Don't you love this woman very much? I'll give you a chance. Find a dagger and cut yourself. I'll let her go whenever I'm satisfied."
"No! I won't allow it!" Yan Zuozuo roared, looking at Chi Moqing in terror. "Don't listen to her, she won't let me go!"
"Shut up!" Cai Qingqing gritted her teeth, the sharp dagger suddenly moving to her neck, then looking at Chi Moqing with a half-smile, "Dare you?"
Chi Moqing narrowed his eyes, took a deep breath, and tried to calm himself down before looking up at Cai Qingqing. "I promise you! But there's no dagger here. Why don't you give me the dagger you have, and I'll show you how to use it."
"Hahaha! Chi Moqing, do you think I'm a fool? I'll give you a dagger so you can save someone? Dream on!" Cai Qingqing sneered. "I'll give you three minutes. If you can't make the first cut, I'll make this woman die with me!"
Cai Qingqing was very agitated, and she made a half-hearted gesture with the knife towards Yan Zuozuo's neck. With a hissing sound, a long gash appeared on her neck, and bright red blood immediately gushed out.
"Ah!" Yan Zuozuo cried out in pain, gasping for breath.
Chi Moqing could no longer remain calm; he was on the verge of exploding, but he dared not move and could only watch helplessly as Cai Qingqing went mad.
"Chi Moqing, are you going to cut or not?" Cai Qingqing roared, looking at Chi Moqing with agitated emotions, waving the dagger in mid-air, which was truly frightening to see.
"I'll cut!" Chi Moqing said firmly, immediately searching for a dagger. He was willing to give up his life to save Yan Zuozuo!
