Chapter 143: Chapter 143 Where the Hell Have You Been?!

At last, she understood why he was speaking with such sarcasm.

It turned out he already knew that she hadn’t gone on a trip.

Lin Xinlan clenched her fists tightly in secret, her palms slick with cold sweat.

"I can explain this..." she lifted her head and tried to say calmly, "I just suddenly didn’t want to go on the trip and wanted to spend a few days alone, so I ended the contract. I didn’t tell you because I was worried you’d make wild guesses, and look, now you’re suspicious of me. I really didn’t go anywhere these past few days, I was just alone and quiet."

She said it as if it was a matter of course.

Rong Shaoze nodded expressionlessly and asked indifferently, "Where did you go alone? Tell me. If you can’t say, then I won’t believe you."

Lin Xinlan had no choice but to think of a few places in B City. As soon as he heard them, he immediately took out his phone to instruct his subordinates to check.

Lin Xinlan’s eyes widened in shock, and she said angrily, "What’s there to check? Rong Shaoze, what do you mean? Don’t you trust me?!"

"That’s right, I just don’t trust you," he said coldly.

"You..." Lin Xinlan didn’t know what to say. She had not expected Rong Shaoze to be so persistent in getting to the bottom of things.

What if he found out about Xiaocong’s existence?

She didn’t want Xiaocong to have anything to do with him; a person like him, so cruel and heartless, simply wasn’t fit to be a good father.

If Xiaocong ended up in his hands, who knew what he would turn him into.

Besides, he might even use Xiaocong as a pawn in his power struggle. Her child, no matter how hard or tired life got, couldn’t become his tool for seizing power.

Lin Xinlan decided then and there that she would rather die than reveal where she had been.

At most, he would just punish her; he wouldn’t truly do anything to hurt her.

The atmosphere in the room was tense, Lin Xinlan looked out the window with a pale face, but inside, she was extremely nervous. Rong Shaoze sat on the bed with a sour expression as if someone owed him millions and hadn’t paid him back.

They both kept silent, worried that speaking up would cause things to spiral out of control.

Rong Shaoze struggled to contain his anger, repeating to himself to give her a chance, to trust her. Even if he wanted to be angry, he had to confirm everything first.

What if what she said was true?

So he couldn’t just punish her without cause; he’d wait for the results to come out...

Suddenly, his phone rang. Lin Xinlan’s heart skipped a beat, and her grip tightened.

Rong Shaoze looked up at her and answered the call with a casual tone, "What’s the result?"

"Young Master Shaoze... We have checked the places the Young Madam mentioned, and she was seen at none of them. No hotel in the vicinity has any record of her either..."

The temperature in the room seemed to plunge several degrees!

Rong Shaoze’s voice grew deeper and colder, "Understood."

After hanging up the phone, he slowly stood up, and his hand suddenly gripped her chin, his expression menacing and terrifying as he demanded with a bloodthirsty look, "Lin Xinlan, I’m giving you one last chance. Tell me, where exactly did you go?!"

Lin Xinlan was frightened by his rage, her body shrank back, and she couldn’t help but close her eyes slightly. Her long eyelashes trembled, betraying her inner fear and unease.

She steadied her breathing and said calmly, "I just walked around, I went nowhere. If you don’t trust me, then so be it."

The man’s eyes narrowed dangerously, and at that moment, he was truly furious, absolutely livid!
