Lu Lin increased the car's speed.
Meanwhile, Mother Lin dialed Lin Fengzhi's number again, anxiously asking the driver, "Have you seen him?"
Today, the driver took Mother Lin around the city countless times in search of Lin Fengzhi.
Seeing his Mother Lin's pale face in the rearview mirror, he said worriedly, "Young Master, perhaps your phone is broken. You look terrible. Shall I take you to the hospital?"
He didn't understand why Mother Lin insisted on finding Lin Fengzhi today. He rushed over after receiving a call from Mother Lin in the morning. Mother Lin was sitting on a bench on the street, clutching her chest, her face was deathly pale, and she was sweating profusely. He wanted to take her to the hospital, but Mother Lin insisted on finding Lin Fengzhi Mother Lin. She didn't eat or drink anything all day.
The driver worried that before Lin Fengzhi could be found, Mother Lin would collapse first.
In such a big city, finding someone is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Mother Lin rejected the driver's suggestion again. Hearing the mechanical voice saying "the machine is turned off," her heart felt like it had fallen into an ice cave, so cold that her limbs were shivering.
Lin Fengzhi actually lied to her...
Mother Lin's eyes stung with tears. Worried that the driver would notice something was wrong, she quickly turned her head away, forcing herself to suppress her heartache, and urged the driver to speed up.
She was worried that Lin Fengzhi would hurt Yan Heqing again.
The first thing she did in the morning was to have her driver take her to Yan Heqing's residence.
But not only was Lin Fengzhi nowhere to be found, even Yan Heqing was nowhere to be found, and she was too ashamed to contact Yan Heqing.
Mother Lin was lost in thought when a place suddenly came to mind in her weary mind.
She forced herself to sit up, her pale lips trembling as she uttered an address, "Go and take a look at this place."
It was the address where Yan Heqing and Lin Fengzhi when they were children.
With a sharp pain in her heart, Mother Lin pressed heavily to her chest and managed to drink No. 1 Primary School sip of water, preventing herself from collapsing.
No. 21, Yuntan Street Yunwu District.
The site of the fire is now a high-rise apartment building.
The clouds hung low, the streetlights were already on, and people occasionally entered and exited the apartment building.
Lu Lin stopped at the apartment entrance and looked at Yan Heqing. "Should I come up?"
Yan Heqing shook his head, "I'll go up myself."
He was about to open the door when Lu Lin suddenly reached out and covered his hand with hers—warm and dry—but quickly moved it away, saying, "Be careful."
Yan Heqing got out of the car.
He had never been to this place before.
He always remembered his home's address, yet he resisted returning; he both missed and feared this place.
Now that I've arrived, everything has changed.
Yan Heqing looked up and saw the top floor of the thirty-something-story building, but he couldn't see Lin Fengzhi.
At this altitude, humanity is incredibly small.
Yan Heqing withdrew his gaze and strode into the apartment.
He had just entered the elevator when Mother Lin's car arrived. She circled the area but couldn't find Lin Fengzhi, so she was about to move on when suddenly, a figure walked over and politely knocked on the back window.
Mother Lin's breath hitched. She rolled down the car window and looked at Lu Lin with shame and embarrassment, " Mr. Lu..."
Lu Lin cut to the chase, " Lin Fengzhi on the top floor, threatening to jump to his death to threaten Yan Heqing."
Mother Lin felt a wave of dizziness and almost couldn't catch her breath. She could no longer care about etiquette and rushed into the apartment.
The driver was terrified when he heard that.
Lin Fengzhi jump off a building?
He notified Father Lin at lightning speed.
This apartment building targets single working professionals, with units typically ranging from 20 to 30 square meters in size, mostly loft-style layouts. There are over 20 units per floor, but only 4 elevators.
People went in and out, and the elevator ascended extremely slowly. When it reached the 28th floor, the elevator doors opened and closed again, leaving only Yan Heqing inside.
Yan Heqing watched the numbers jump up and down. When they reached the 32nd floor, he turned on his phone to record, put his belt back in, and stepped out of the elevator. It was a desolate, empty rooftop.
Go around to the side, and you'll see Lin Fengzhi standing inside the railing.
The sky was dark, and the tall buildings across the street were lit up with scattered lights. Lin Fengzhi had been staring intently at Yan Heqing ever since he appeared.
His eyesight seems to have deteriorated again; he has to look very carefully and strain to see things clearly.
The wind howled so fiercely up high that it was terrifying, and Lin Fengzhi was blown into a mess.
He gripped the railing tightly, biting his lip, and said, " Yan Heqing, you've finally come!"
Yan Heqing looked at his frantic state, her heart completely unmoved. "Don't you care about Auntie Lin?"
bite.
There was a faint sound of elevator doors opening and closing.
Lin Fengzhi completely oblivious; at that moment, his eyes were only on Yan Heqing.
"Don't change the subject!" he said, his eyes red. "My life has completely changed since you came into my life! Everyone—Mom, Dad, my older brothers, Gu Xingye, and Ge Tongyuan! They all love you and ignore me!"
As she spoke, tears streamed down her face. "I'm not as good as you, I don't have your grades or your eloquence, and you know so many things I don't understand. I'll give them all to you! They can all like you! I don't care, but why!" His eyes gradually turned resentful and jealous. "Why did you have to take Uncle Lu away?"
"I love him so much, but he won't even look at me..." Lin Fengzhi's fingernails scratched at the railing. He didn't understand, he really didn't understand. He and Yan Heqing were twins, so why did Lu Lin only like Yan Heqing and not him?
"Anyway, I died once 13 years ago." Lin Fengzhi blinked away tears, his vision blurring further. He had no other choice but to use his last resort to force Yan Heqing, "I can't lose Lu Lin. If you insist on marrying him, I'll give my life to bless you both."
Yan Heqing's eyes were deep and serious. "If you die, the Lin Family will be the most heartbroken. Don't you care about them at all?"
Lin Fengzhi's voice suddenly became sharp, "Stop pretending to be kind! You'd be happiest if I died! I was so stupid, I always thought you liked me, but you actually hate me! Your adoptive parents were poor and abused you, so you were jealous of my comfortable life. You thought I stole your life, but you hid away and gave me the adoption opportunity, it wasn't me asking you to!"
He became more and more agitated as he spoke, "Why are you blaming me! It was your own choice! And now you have Uncle Lu, you're the happiest person in the world! You have to give Uncle Lu back to me. I don't want any of these things; I can give them all to you!"
