Chapter 387: Chapter 387: He’s Dead, I Want to See His Corpse

Her vision was a bit blurry, and it took her a while to adapt before she could clearly see the person sitting beside her.

A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, "Qiao Yiyang, why is it you?"

She tried to sit up, but her arm was sore and weak.

Qiao Yiyang quickly pressed down on her shoulder, "Don’t move. Your arm was dislocated and has only been put back in place not long ago. You’ll need a few days to fully recover."

Lin Xinlan suddenly remembered Rong Shaoze. Ignoring the pain, she grabbed his arm tightly and asked nervously, "Where is Rong Shaoze? Rong Mingyan wants to kill him, has he escaped?"

Then she remembered that Qiao Yiyang and Rong Mingyan were in league. She briskly withdrew her hand and shifted her body backward, eyeing him warily.

"Qiao Yiyang, who exactly are you? Are you part of Rong Mingyan’s crew?"

Qiao Yiyang looked at the spot she had just grabbed, a trace of dimness flashing through his eyes.

He knew she would ask him this and keep her distance from him.

Looking up at her, he spoke indifferently, "Xinlan, I won’t lie to you. I am indeed with Rong Mingyan. However, his intent to kill Rong Shaoze is his personal vendetta, and it has nothing to do with me. I hope you won’t hate me for it."

Lin Xinlan asked in shock, "You are also...a member of the Mafia?"

"Yes."

Lin Xinlan bit her lip tightly; she now hated Rong Mingyan and the Mafia the most.

If it weren’t for them, Rong Shaoze wouldn’t have met with disaster...

"Qiao Yiyang, tell me the truth, how is Rong Shaoze now?" she asked cautiously, dreading to hear bad news.

Qiao Yiyang’s eyes grew cold, and he stood up, "You care about him that much? He has hurt you several times, almost costing you your life; why do you still care about whether he lives or dies?! Xinlan, now that you’re free from him, you won’t ever have to suffer his harm again. Are you happy?"

"I’m asking you, how is he now?"

"What if he’s dead?"

A tremor ran through Lin Xinlan’s heart. She tried hard to suppress the unease within her and said lightly, "If he’s dead, I want to see his body for myself; otherwise, I will never believe he’s dead."

"You..." Qiao Yiyang choked with emotion, and he bellowed in anger, "What’s so good about him? He was so cruel to you before; why do you still care about whether he lives or dies?!"

Lin Xinlan shook her head, saying blankly, "You don’t understand; you’ll never understand."

He had deeply hurt her, but he had also risked his life for her twice.

Sometimes, bitter hatred can turn into love; it’s just that the hatred has been too deep and too long, so she was unwilling to admit that she had fallen in love.

Only when it’s gone do you realize that all the damage becomes irrelevant.

What’s important is to have that person alive and standing before you, safe and sound.

And besides, if the person is gone, what use is her hatred? There’s no one left to bear it...

Seeing her like this, Qiao Yiyang was even more angry; he thought she would be glad that Rong Shaoze was dead.

At least she would be happy if Rong Shaoze died.

But her reaction was nothing like what he had imagined.

"Xinlan, forget about him. He was shot and then jumped into the sea. Mingyan’s men searched tightly for two days and didn’t see any sign of him; it’s not possible he had a chance to reach shore. So, he’s definitely drowned and sunk into the ocean, becoming fish food," Qiao Yiyang said.

Lin Xinlan clenched her fists tightly, biting her teeth hard, her heart aching sharply.

Thinking of Rong Shaoze struggling in pain in the sea, she felt an unbearable ache...
