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

Chapter 106 Deviation (28)

Under a clear and sunny sky, Yan Zhen and Bian Yuan arrived in Yancheng after a one-and-a-half-hour flight.

After reaching the shore, Yan Zhen and Bian Yuan parted ways.

Yan Zhen took his ID card and went to a nearby service center to get a replacement SIM card and then bought a new phone.

The moment the signal was restored after inserting the SIM card and turning on the phone, dozens of missed calls flooded in.

There were letters from Ming's mother, from her eldest brother Ming Yirong, and from Zhou Yanhe, an editor at the publishing house.

Yan Zhen first called the publishing house back. During the call, her phone kept notifying her of new incoming calls.

She finished her work at a leisurely pace and hung up the phone. The next moment, her phone rang. It was Zhou Yan calling.

Yan Zhen slid down to answer the call: "Hello."

Zhou Yan asked angrily, "Where did you go?"

"Just came out for a walk to clear your head. Is something wrong?"

"You've been gone for over a month. Do you even remember that you're mine now?"

Yan Zhen chuckled and said, "What, you've made up with Su Er, and now you have the leisure to meddle with me?"

Zhou Yan paused, his tone becoming more subdued: "You'd better come back right now, or don't blame me for being rude!"

"Don't worry, my mom is still in Fengcheng. I have no intention of running away," Yan Zhen said slowly. "I don't want to stay at home because I don't want to smell your stench. It's disgusting."

"you……"

"Just wait, I'll be back in a few days."

After Yan Zhen finished speaking, she hung up the phone quickly, giving Zhou Yan no chance to retort.

Just a short while later, Ming's mother called.

After the call connected, she asked, "Xiaowei, why has your phone been off? Is something wrong?"

"No, is there something you need from me?"

Ming's mother hesitated for a moment and then said, "Actually, it's nothing..."

Yan Zhen was too lazy to argue with her and simply said, "Then I'll hang up."

"Hey, hey, Xiaowei," Ming's mother quickly stopped her, "It's like this, I haven't had my chemotherapy this week yet..."

"Oh," Yan Zhen said coldly.

Ming's mother was taken aback, not expecting her to react this way. At the same time, she realized that her daughter really didn't want to spoil her anymore.

She gritted her teeth and bluntly stated, "I have no money left."

“I’ve transferred the money for chemotherapy to your card on time,” Yan Zhen said. She had set up a scheduled transfer and would transfer 3000 yuan to Ming’s mother’s bank account every week.

“Your dad took the card,” Ming’s mother said, sobbing softly. “He…”

"That's your problem." Yan Zhen interrupted her, having no patience to listen to her complaints. "I've said it before, if you don't get a divorce, I'll only give you money for chemotherapy. Whether you can keep the money or not, whether you go for chemotherapy or not, is none of my business."

Upon hearing this, Ming's mother burst into tears: "Xiaowei, how could you do this? I raised you with so much difficulty, and you..."

"Stop playing the victim, I don't have time for that." After saying that, Yan Zhen hung up the phone and blocked Ming's mother's number.

After doing all that, she picked up her bag and went to check into a nearby five-star hotel.

After spending the night in Yancheng, Yan Zhen noticed at noon the next day, while having lunch at the hotel's buffet restaurant, that two men were suspiciously observing her from a few tables away.

She calmly finished her lunch, checked out of the hotel, and walked out. Sure enough, the two men quietly followed her.

--coming.

Attracting the attention of these people was one of her two purposes for leaving the island.

After the last incident of someone trespassing on the island to conduct a search, the police on the island have increased their vigilance. If they find three or more people coming to the island together, they will conduct identity checks and questioning.

These people dared not confront the police, lest they escalate the situation and implicate the people behind it all.

Unable to openly arrest people on the island as before, they sent someone disguised as a tourist to wander around the fishing island a few times.

However, the island is quite large, and the houses are scattered. Although the people who landed on the island were certain that Zhou Rang was on the island and that he was accompanied by a woman, they were still unable to get close to him.

Yan Zhen's trip off the island gave them an opportunity—since they couldn't land on the island, they might as well capture this woman and lure Zhou Rang out.

Yan Zhen pretended not to notice, turned into a pharmacy, and came out with a dark plastic bag in his hand.

She carried the heavy plastic bag back to Yancheng Wharf and found Uncle Hui waiting there.

"Uncle Hui, when are we leaving to go back?"

Uncle Hui looked up at her, a hint of hesitation flashing in his eyes: "In another half hour."

Yan Zhen nodded. Just as she was about to board the fishing boat, Uncle Hui suddenly stood up: "Miss Ming, it's still early. Would you like to go for a stroll some more?"

Upon hearing this, Yan Zhen raised an eyebrow slightly.

In the original story, Uncle Hui is not a good person.

In the original story, Zhou Rang and Su Er stayed on the island for a while, and after their injuries had almost healed, they planned to return to Fengcheng.

On their way off the island, they boarded Uncle Hui's boat, but were intercepted by the villains halfway there. Zhou Rang nearly lost his life, but fortunately, his men arrived in time to save them.

Uncle Hui betrayed them under the lure of profit, and cooperated with the villains in an attempt to make Su Er and Zhou Rang die at sea without anyone knowing.

Judging from Uncle Hui's current reaction, he is probably following the original story and has once again committed the act of betrayal.

Yan Zhen knew that his advice to "take a walk" was not out of a pang of conscience to stop her from boarding the boat, but because he was worried that something might happen to her on the fishing boat, and if Zhou Rang couldn't find her afterward, it would inevitably implicate him.

After all, the surveillance footage showed her boarding the boat at Yancheng Wharf, but she disappeared upon returning to the fishing island. Although Uncle Hui could explain that she fell into the water and went missing, and cooperate in staging a scene of a failed search and rescue, he would still get into some trouble.

It would be best if something happened to her in Yancheng.

Yan Zhen knew exactly what Uncle Hui was up to, but she had no intention of letting him have his way.

"No need, I've bought everything I need. I'll get on the boat first and wait for you. We'll set off once you're done."

After saying that, she boarded the ship.

Uncle Hui: "..."

Before long, the fishing boat set off.

After sailing for some distance, Yancheng Wharf gradually disappeared from sight. As the fishing boat reached a certain sea area, the sound of a speedboat came from behind.

Yan Zhen turned around, and a speedboat was rapidly approaching them.

Soon, a speedboat blocked their way. As soon as the man on the deck spoke, Yan Zhen recognized him as the man who led the search of the residential area that night.

“Ming Yiwei, right? Come with us.”

Yan Zhen sat calmly on the fishing boat, his expression composed: "I'm not going."

“You have no choice. Either you come here obediently, or we’ll come and get you.” The man grinned maliciously. “But when we get here, the treatment will be different.”

Yan Zhen stood up and turned to look at Uncle Hui not far away: "Did you bring these people?"

Uncle Hui avoided eye contact, not daring to meet her gaze.

This attitude was tantamount to acquiescence, and Yan Zhen then asked, "Are you familiar with this sea area?"

Uncle Hui nodded subconsciously.

Yan Zhen smiled slightly: "Then come with me."

After she finished speaking, she opened the plastic bag, took out a large-capacity liquid bottle, and smashed it hard onto the deck.

The glass bottle shattered, liquid splashed everywhere, and a strong smell of alcohol filled the air.

Uncle Hui realized what she was about to do, his pupils contracted, and he shouted "No!" as he rushed over to try to stop her.

But he was a step too slow. Yan Zhen took out a lighter, lit it, and threw it into the alcohol. The flames instantly spread across the entire deck.
