Chapter 261: Chapter 261: His Background is So Complicated

Dozens of lives, all gunned down. Rumor has it, he was the one who did it.

"I also suspect it was him, only he could kill so many people in one night."

Lin Xinlan’s eyes widened in shock, speechless with horror.

Rong Mingyan continued, "Rong Shaoze is actually a gang leader, but no one knows how extensive his power is, nor what he actually does. But dealing in drugs, arms, and ammunition, he has definitely been involved in those trades. He used to be very arrogant, but in recent years he has become more restrained, no longer striking fear into people’s hearts as he did before. Just because he’s more low-key now doesn’t mean he’s any less dangerous. He’s merely a lion at rest. At the end of the day, he’s still a lion, a very dangerous one. So, you don’t need to question whether he would do something to Yiyang or not."

Lin Xinlan’s hands trembled as she clenched them tightly, feeling as if this were some fantastical tale.

In her eyes, Rong Shaoze was just a willful and authoritarian scion, a wealthy man. She had never imagined that his background was so complex.

The things Rong Mingyan spoke of were only things she’d seen in novels and on television.

She really couldn’t believe that Rong Shaoze was such a dangerous person.

Black Society... Gang leader...

She had gotten herself involved with someone so terrifying.

Xiaocong must not fall into his hands at any cost, her son must not have any ties with the black society.

The black society is so dangerous; lives could be lost at any moment, or even entire families wiped out. If anything happened to Xiaocong, she wouldn’t want to live either.

Lin Xinlan’s face became increasingly pale, looking very unwell.

Rong Mingyan asked with concern, "Are you alright?"

She came back to her senses and shook her head calmly, "I’m fine. Mr. Rong, I’m willing to go and exchange Qiao Yiyang. But before that, I’d like to go to one place first."

"Where?"

...

Night descended.

A black sedan arrived at the Nansha seaside and slowly came to a stop.

Lin Xinlan got out of the car, wearing nothing but a simple white T-shirt, black jeans, and a backpack. Her hair was tied back into a ponytail with a hair band.

The sea breeze blew her bangs as she squinted her eyes, looking around.

Rong Mingyan also got out of the car and surveyed the surroundings.

At that moment, several sedans sped towards them, their glaring headlights forcing Lin Xinlan to shield her eyes with her hand.

"Screech—" The cars came to a halt simultaneously, Lin Xinlan removed her hand and squinted to look, recognizing Rong Shaoze’s personal car at the front at a glance.

The man sat inside, his piercing gaze visible through the windshield, along with his expressionless face.

He stared at her, his eyes glinting with a cold light, dark and chilly, as if he were terrifying enough to devour someone.

Lin Xinlan gripped the straps of her backpack and turned her head to say to Rong Mingyan, "Mr. Rong, please wait here for me; I’ll go and make him release Qiao Yiyang."

"Alright," Rong Mingyan nodded slightly.

Rong Shaoze in the car didn’t move; his arm rested on the steering wheel, his eyes fixed on her, unblinking.

Lin Xinlan steeled herself and walked over; the car door opened automatically, she bent down to get in and sit down, then the door closed and locked itself.

A jump ran through her heart, but she forced herself to face Rong Shaoze and asked, "Where is Mr. Qiao? Rong Shaoze, I have shown up, now you let him go. It was I who asked him for help, none of this has anything to do with him, don’t hurt him."

"Heh," the man smirked coldly, looking at her with a dark and somber gaze.
