Life and Death Insurance – CH 064

Chapter 64

“You should remember Yu Xiaowan, right? Let me tell you, she’s my younger sister!”

Yu Xiaowan?

Ling Zhengzhong had seen her photo a few days ago… So he remembered the name vividly, but what did that have to do with harming him?

Seeing Ling Zhengzhong’s bewildered expression, Cheng Jing gritted her teeth and said, “You beast in human clothing! Not only did you toy with my sister’s feelings, but after finding out she was pregnant, you kicked her away, causing her to bleed profusely during her abortion and die on the operating table. You can’t possibly understand how I felt then, watching my dearest person die, unable to do anything—you’ll never understand that helpless despair! At that moment, I swore I would never let you go. Since my sister died because of you, I will never let you live so freely in this world!”

This story sounded so tragic…

But wait, wait, all of this has nothing to do with him. He’d only just learned the name Xiaowan.

Seeing Cheng Jing’s near-hysterical agitation, Ling Zhengzhong instinctively took a step back. This woman was insane; was she planning to resort to violence? Even though he was injured, he was still confident he could defeat a woman.

Anger contorted Cheng Jing’s face, but she still sneered, “You deserve to die, and that woman who seduced you into abandoning my sister deserves to die even more! I studied voice acting in college; imitation is my forte. I merely impersonated you on the phone, and that stupid woman immediately ran to her death. I easily dealt with her, yet you always manage to escape… But this time, Ling Zhengzhong, your luck won’t be so good, hahaha…”

Not wanting to continue talking to this crazed woman, Ling Zhengzhong coldly said, “My luck is much better than you think, and besides, I have nothing to explain to you. I think it’s better to hear you tell all the facts in court.”

He turned to leave but heard Cheng Jing laugh loudly behind him. “Ling Zhengzhong, do you think you still have a chance to leave here? Don’t you feel your heart racing and yourself feeling excited?”

What did that mean?

Ling Zhengzhong stopped and turned around, looking at Cheng Jing suspiciously.

His heart was indeed pounding wildly, accompanied by a pleasant, almost euphoric feeling. This exhilarating mood made him feel like he could jump up and cheer at any moment.

Could this crazy woman have put something in his juice?

He seemed to be having a lot of bad luck lately, always getting drugged…

Seeing Ling Zhengzhong’s question, Cheng Jing chuckled, “That’s right, I put a hallucinogen in that juice. Actually, I wanted to put poison in it, but I couldn’t get my hands on it. Ling Zhengzhong, you must be under the spell by now, right? Look, isn’t the sunset in front of you beautiful? Don’t you want to become one with it? What are you waiting for? Why don’t you fly over there right now…”

Cheng Jing’s voice suddenly transformed into a delicate and elegant seductive tone, as if hypnotized. Ling Zhengzhong couldn’t help but turn his gaze to the distant scenery.

He couldn’t let this woman manipulate him; she was lying, he couldn’t listen…

But the scenery over there was truly beautiful. It seemed as if colorful flowers, grasses, and trees were swaying freely in the wind. In the distance, a rainbow arched across the sky after the rain, merging seamlessly with the green grass. He could even hear the clear chirping of summer insects, making him long to go and see…

Yes, go and see!

Ling Zhengzhong felt his heart pounding faster and faster, a throbbing sensation as if it were about to burst forth. The cells in his brain began to dance with excitement, pulling his nerves ever closer to the peak of his impulsive urge.

“Yes, just like that, keep walking, up to the platform, and then jump into nature’s embrace, walk…”

Cheng Jing’s enchantingly gentle voice echoed behind Ling Zhengzhong, making him even more excited.

A smile gradually appeared on Ling Zhengzhong’s somewhat dazed face. He spread his arms wide, gesturing as if to say, “This way I can fly over, right? Like a bird soaring in the sky! Flying…”

Just then, the rooftop door was kicked open. Cheng Jing turned around in surprise and saw Xiang Tian running out of the building.

“Don’t go!”

Cheng Jing rushed forward to stop Xiang Tian, ​​but he slapped her aside. Her head hit the half-open doorframe, and she immediately went limp.

“Zhengzhong!”

Ling Zhengzhong had already climbed to the edge of the platform. Fortunately, it was about a foot wide, allowing him to maintain his balance. However, seeing his trembling steps, Xiang Tian’s heart leaped into his throat.

“Xiang Tian, ​​you’re here? Come and see! The view from here is truly beautiful…”

Seeing Xiang Tian, ​​Ling Zhengzhong was even happier. He had finally discovered such a beautiful view; of course, he had to share it with his beloved.

He turned to face the balcony and made a takeoff gesture. “Hmm, this is a good starting point. If I could fly, the feeling would be amazing…”

“Zhengzhong!…”

Seeing Ling Zhengzhong’s dazed expression, Xiang Tian was anxious but dared not act rashly. He slowly moved towards the edge of the platform, softly saying, “That’s not a good view. I have a better place. Come down, and I’ll tell you…”

“Then let’s go see it together later. Come over here first, okay?”

No one noticed that Cheng Jing had struggled to her feet. Seeing Ling Zhengzhong’s swaying figure on the balcony, a cold smile involuntarily appeared on her face.

Judging from the situation, Ling Zhengzhong would jump soon. She had to seize the opportunity to leave.

Of course, he wouldn’t notice Cheng Jing’s departure. Xiang Tian’s entire focus was on the man walking a tightrope on the rooftop. He dared not provoke Ling Zhengzhong too much and could only continue to soothe him with words.

“Zhengzhong, can you come down first?”

“Okay.”

This time, Ling Zhengzhong readily agreed, but he stumbled backward. His left foot tripped slightly on his right ankle, and he staggered, barely managing to regain his balance. This made Xiang Tian’s heart pound again.

“Zhengzhong!”

Ling Zhengzhong swayed back and forth, a sensation that excited him, but Xiang Tian’s tense expression made him raise an eyebrow in surprise.

The little hamster’s face looked grim. Was he angry…? Actually, he just wanted to experience the feeling of flying; he’d come back to him after he was done…

Seeing Xiang Tian’s attempt to stop him, Ling Zhengzhong instinctively tried to back away. But just then, he felt a slip under his neck. The silver chain Xiang Tian had given him had inexplicably broken, and the bullet-shaped pendant fell to the ground with a crisp, continuous clinking sound.

In an instant, his somewhat dazed mind seemed to be reawakened. Almost as soon as the pendant hit the ground, Ling Zhengzhong jumped off the platform. He had to retrieve the bullet; it was the talisman the little hamster had given him, and he couldn’t lose it.

Seeing Ling Zhengzhong jump back onto the platform, Xiang Tian’s heart sank. Unfortunately, he didn’t have time to catch him, because Ling Zhengzhong’s foot was on the broken chain. The round silver bead made him slip, and he fell heavily to the ground, his forehead hitting the floor. The unfortunate Ling Zhengzhong fell unconscious again.
