Chapter 277: Chapter 277: Letting You Understand My World

"Alright, for your sake, I’ll let him go today. But you are never to plead for him again, and you are not to seek death for anyone else, got it?"

He nearly spoke the latter part between clenched teeth.

"Mm." Lin Xinlan softly replied, her hand clutching his clothes, her body still trembling slightly.

She had not yet recovered from the shock she had just experienced.

Rong Shaoze hooked his lips into a smile, though it was a reluctant one: "You don’t have the guts, yet you dare to think about suicide. You really are a woman in need of disciplining!"

He picked her up horizontally, turned his body to block her line of sight, preventing her from glancing at Qiao Yiyang.

Turning his head slightly, he softly said, "Let the man go."

"Yes!"

Lin Xinlan really wanted to take a look at how Qiao Yiyang was, but Rong Shaoze explicitly refused to let her, so she had no choice but to hold back, otherwise his anger, which he had difficulty suppressing, might flare up again.

After the pair left, the bodyguard released Qiao Yiyang, patting him forcefully on the shoulder with a harsh warning, "Behave yourself in the future, and if you dare to harbor any inappropriate thoughts again, you’ll see how Shaoze will deal with you!"

Qiao Yiyang calmly straightened his suit, his eyes dark and deep, his face expressionless.

What he was thinking, nobody knew.

Looking at the open door, he straightened his spine and walked out with determined strides, his demeanor utterly indifferent...

Sitting in the car, Lin Xinlan leaned against the back seat, her gaze falling outside the window.

The events of today had shaken her. She did not like Rong Shaoze’s cruelty and ruthlessness, but equally, she was relieved that he had listened to her today and spared Qiao Yiyang.

But would such a thing happen again in the future?

She could handle it once, but she really worried she might not cope a second time...

Rong Shaoze saw her daydreaming and reached out to hold one of her hands, controlling the steering wheel with just the other hand.

"What are you thinking about?"

Lin Xinlan pulled her thoughts back and said lightly, "Nothing at all."

The man clearly did not believe her words: "Were you scared today?"

"..."

"You won’t have to deal with this kind of thing in the future, don’t worry, I can’t bear to scare you."

Lin Xinlan tilted her head slightly: "Rong Shaoze, what exactly is your world like?"

He glanced at her, his lips curving into a smile: "Why, have you decided to learn more about me?"

"Are you in the mafia? Do you have your own gang?" she asked tentatively, a hint of caution in her eyes.

What if he feared she would leak information and decided to silence her?

"The mafia?" He laughed, amused, "Have you been watching too many TV dramas? Tell me, what is the mafia?"

Lin Xinlan was taken aback, and honestly said, "It’s a gang that engages in illegal activities."

"Hmm, not a bad definition. However, if that were the case, then the world would be full of mafia organizations. No one is entirely righteous; everyone has their own position; it depends on how you understand it. Perhaps in your eyes, I should be considered the mafia."

What does he mean ’should be’?

In her eyes, he was.

"Xinlan, in time, I will gradually let you understand my world, but not now. Can you understand that?" he asked gently.

Lin Xinlan hadn’t intended to learn about his world; her question was just casual.

"Mm." She nodded slightly, that sufficed as an answer.

The two did not speak further, but the atmosphere was not silent; instead, it was a natural quietness.

Lin Xinlan quietly leaned back in her seat, watching the landscape outside, her mood gradually settling.

The incident that had just occurred had also exited her mind, becoming a fragment of the past.
