Chapter 242: Chapter 242: Leave with Xiaocong Immediately

"Do you have any idea what you’d lose if this isn’t resolved? You good-for-nothing brat, go, we need to come up with a solution at once!"

Rong Shaoze had no choice but to follow his mother back to the Rong family’s old house, pressured by Rong Mother.

—————

In Rong Father’s study, the three of them began to discuss countermeasures.

Rong Father suggested using money to bribe the media and relevant departments to suppress the incident.

Rong Shaoze shook his head, however, "Dad, the person behind this obviously came prepared. He must have already made the contacts. If we start to bribe others now, it’s likely going to be very difficult. We might even botch it."

"Shaoze is right, this approach won’t work, and moreover, we’re out of time," Rong Mother said, nodding her approval.

"Then let’s release the photos of Lin Xinlan’s affair to the public and let everyone know it’s her fault."

Rong Father was ready for a desperate measure, as long as it didn’t harm his son’s reputation.

Rong Shaoze still shook his head, "Dad, whether or not she has wronged me, it’s a fact that I hurt her. If it comes out, both she and I will be disgraced. It’s the worst option."

"If this won’t work and that won’t work, what do you suggest we do?"

Rong Mother stood up, saying, "Calm down. I’ll make a cup of tea for you and your father. Keep talking."

She left for the kitchen and, after preparing two cups of tea, she made a phone call to her assistant.

"Arlene, I need you to do something for me right away..."

Inside the villa on Yan Mountain, Lin Xinlan was also on the phone.

"Mom, it’s me."

"Xinlan, what’s the matter?"

Lin Xinlan spoke in a low and grave voice, "Mom, take Xiaocong and leave today. Go to the small town where Dad used to live, and don’t tell anyone where you’re going. Also, travel by car the whole way. Don’t use an ID card, and don’t leave any clues or traces. I’ll come to find you after a while."

Mother Lin was startled when she heard this.

"Xinlan, what happened?!"

"It’s nothing, don’t worry. It’s not what you think. I just want to get away from someone, someone very powerful. But I’m worried about you and don’t want him to find you, so I want you to leave first. Mom, I’ll be okay. Someone is willing to help me, and nothing will happen to me. You and Xiaocong leave tonight and don’t tell anyone, understand?"

"Xinlan, don’t scare me. What exactly happened? Are you keeping something from me, did you offend someone you shouldn’t have?"

"No, I swear I didn’t. Mom, please don’t ask any more questions, just do as I say. And don’t call me on this phone again. Throw away your SIM card, stop using it. Once I’ve dealt with things here, I’ll come to find you both."

But Mother Lin was far from reassured; the more she heard, the more frightened she became.

"If you don’t explain exactly what’s going on, I won’t leave. Xinlan, are you in danger? I can’t abandon you alone, I can’t let anything happen to you!"

Lin Xinlan’s eyes reddened, and she took a deep breath, her voice choked with emotion, "Mom, I’ll tell you the truth. That person is Xiaocong’s father, I don’t want him to find Xiaocong..."

"What did you say?!"

"Mom, I absolutely can’t let Xiaocong fall into his hands. Please help me hide Xiaocong, don’t let him be taken away..." As she spoke, Lin Xinlan broke down in tears.
