Chapter 460: Chapter 460: Prefer to Hear the Bad News First

He had regained consciousness only a couple of days ago and was aware that he had been unconscious for quite a while, roughly two months.

The first thing he did upon waking up was to ask where Lin Xinlan was.

Tao Hua said, Lin Xinlan was alive and well, at his own home, very safe.

He felt relieved but didn’t immediately contact her, instead focusing on rehabilitation to regain his agility and strength.

In the past few days, he had been exercising his body relentlessly, as if he were on a mission. His plan was to seek revenge on Rong Mingyan and Qiao Yiyang as soon as he recovered his strength!

He already knew that Qiao Yiyang was the Mafia’s godfather and was aware of their past conspiracies.

They had schemed against him, harmed the people around him, and nearly cost him his life. This vendetta was something he had to avenge, to let them know that provoking him, Rong Shaoze, would only result in their descent into hell!

Tao Hua, sitting on the side and counting for him, reached five hundred and saw him switch hands and continue. He couldn’t bear to watch anymore.

"You’ve just come to, and your body is still weak. Isn’t this a bit too reckless?"

The man’s eyes were deep, disregarding his words.

Sweat trickled down his well-defined muscles, forming a puddle on the smooth floor.

After completing five hundred push-ups with one hand, he not only didn’t lie down but appeared even more vigorous.

Tao Hua yawned lazily, checked the time on his watch, and a sly spark flashed in his eyes.

He thought it was about time.

Just then, Xu Yao pushed the door open and made eye contact with him. Their gazes intertwined, hinting at cunning and complicity.

"Shaoze, I’ve just received two pieces of news, one good and one bad. Which one would you like to hear first?" Xu Yao asked nonchalantly, arms crossed over his chest.

From his tone, one could not sense the urgency or significance of the situation.

He sounded as casual and ordinary as if he were discussing the weather.

However, Rong Shaoze knew him well, and with a slight frown, he stood up, wiped his face with a towel, and took a big gulp of water from an opened bottle before speaking in an unhurried voice, "Tell me the bad news."

They shared a common trait: a preference to hear the bad news first. The explanation was simple: good news remains good even if untold, but bad news might worsen if ignored.

Xu Yao and Tao Hua exchanged glances once again, amusement flickering in their eyes.

"Are you sure you want to hear this bad news?"

"Speak!" Rong Shaoze said coldly, his gaze dark and piercing.

Tsk tsk, this man had become someone entirely different since waking up, radiating an aura of someone who’d walked through hell, a fierce warrior ready to fight.

Xu Yao curled his lips in a smirk, taking pleasure in the misfortune before even uttering the news.

"Actually, it might not be considered bad news, but I still think it’s necessary to tell you. After all, she was with you for a while, even became your wife, and you two had your good times..."

Related to Lin Xinlan?

Rong Shaoze’s gaze suddenly became grim; with a sharp look, he warned Xu Yao to speak quickly and get to the point!

Xu Yao no longer beat around the bush, saying succinctly, "This afternoon at two o’clock, in the church by the Nansha Seaside, your ex-wife will be marrying another man. And that man is Qiao Yiyang."

Rong Shaoze’s pupils contracted sharply, and with a forceful squeeze, the plastic bottle burst with a pang, water splashing in all directions!

As he continued to tighten his grip, the shrivelled bottle made a brittle creaking sound, like a last-ditch struggle for life, sending shivers down one’s spine.

Tao Hua shrank his neck.
