Chapter 626: Chapter 626 Because I Have Someone to Love

The Mafia had a mole inside, leading to the poisoning of a hundred people; now everyone was in danger, trusting no one but themselves.

Qiao Yiyang had predicted such a scenario; this time, the Mafia was truly defeated.

With no choice but to retreat to their stronghold in Rome, they would find death awaiting them here.

In North America, they no longer had the strength to resist and could only withdraw.

The poisoned individuals didn’t even know what poison had afflicted them, leaving them weak and aching all over, with their bodies festering.

Qiao Yiyang had sought the best doctors to treat them, to no avail; all they could do was wait for their bodies to decay and then slowly die.

Soon enough, Rong Shaoze sent word that if Qiao Yiyang handed over Lin Xinlan, he’d provide the antidote.

The lives of a hundred people hinged on Qiao Yiyang’s decision.

Rong Shaoze had pushed Qiao Yiyang into a corner with no way out.

He had to hand over Lin Xinlan; otherwise, he would incite the wrath of many and could forget about remaining the godfather of the Mafia.

By then, protecting Lin Xinlan would be out of the question, let alone protecting himself.

Upon learning of this, Lin Xinlan sighed and said to him, "You should have quit a long time ago, not waited until today."

Qiao Yiyang looked at her and smiled faintly, "Xinlan, but I don’t want to let go of you at all."

"Qiao Yiyang, what’s the point of holding on to me incessantly?!"

Lin Xinlan became angry and spoke coldly, "I don’t like you; you’re wasting your efforts on me. Why can’t you look more towards those around you? Lu Xiaofan loves you deeply; she can give you what you want. If only you’d give her a chance, I believe you could fall for her as well."

"And what about you? Why won’t you give me a chance?" Qiao Yiyang asked in a deep voice.

Lin Xinlan pursed her lips, turned her head away, refusing to look at him, "Because I have someone I love."

"So do I, I also have someone I love, and I can’t give her a chance either."

When it comes to feelings, they’re indescribable when it’s personal, but when it comes to others, the reasons are aplenty.

Lin Xinlan said evenly, "You’re right, I shouldn’t impose my feelings on you. Whomever you love is none of my business, and similarly, my love is my own affair."

The man’s lips thinned, and he looked down to shield the depth in his eyes.

Qiao Yiyang agreed to trade Lin Xinlan for the antidote, setting the exchange for the next day at a predetermined location.

Though Lin Xinlan didn’t show it, she was thrilled inside.

She would soon see Rong Shaoze.

——

The next day, a helicopter was parked on the roof of the villa.

Qiao Yiyang went to the roof with a bodyguard, Lu Xiaofan, and Lin Xinlan.

Seeing the helicopter, Lin Xinlan had a bad feeling and asked in confusion, "Where are we going?"

Qiao Yiyang glanced at her and responded lightly, "Back to Rome."

Lin Xinlan paled with shock, "Wasn’t today supposed to be the day you trade me for the antidote?"

"Someone has already gone in your place."

"What do you mean?" Lin Xinlan suddenly realized, "You had someone impersonate me to exchange for the antidote?!"

Qiao Yiyang didn’t say anything, which was as good as confirming it.

Lin Xinlan turned to run, but Lu Xiaofan blocked her path, saying sternly, "You’re not allowed to go anywhere; you’re coming back to Rome with us!"

She turned, asking Qiao Yiyang angrily:
