She spoke, "Regardless of whether you believe me or not, I truly did not collude with the Mafia to harm Rong Shaoze..."
She recounted everything from beginning to end, not hiding any of the details.
"The truth is just , from start to finish, it was all Rong Mingyan and Qiao Yiyang’s conspiracy. They came prepared, and in the end, Rong Shaoze also came to know about their scheme."
Tao Hua and Xu Yao exchanged glances, their eyes heavy with significance. Without speaking, they both understood what the other was thinking.
Tao Hua slowly stepped forward, approaching Lin Xinlan, and looked down at her condescendingly, "Is everything you said true? Before the incident, did you really not know there was a tracking device in your arm?"
Lin Xinlan shook her head, "I really didn’t know. Everything I’ve said is true, if there’s even a half-truth, may thunder strike me down, and may I never die a good death!"
"Oaths are the most useless things," he scoffed coldly, his eyes flashing fiercely, his wrist flipping, and a handgun suddenly pressed against her forehead.
"I’ll ask you one more time, how did you conspire with the Mafia to harm Shaoze? If you don’t tell the truth now, I’ll kill you!" he barked sharply, his voice filled with lethal intent.
Lin Xinlan stiffened all over, staring at him with shock in her eyes, "You don’t believe what I’m saying?"
"Do you think we should believe what you say? Lies, anyone can craft them! You hate Shaoze so much, you’ve long wanted to put him to death. If you had the chance to kill him, to get away from him, you certainly wouldn’t miss it. You must have colluded with Qiao Yiyang long ago, you deliberately implanted a tracking device in your arm to follow Shaoze to the meeting place, all to ensnare him in one fell swoop, right?!"
Every statement Tao Hua made was an accusation of her supposed crimes; he had already convicted her of causing Rong Shaoze’s death.
Unable to help herself, Lin Xinlan sneered coldly, straightened her back, her expression indifferent, "Since you refuse to believe me, just kill me then! No matter how much more I say, I guess you won’t believe me."
"You think I don’t dare to shoot?!" Tao Hua tightened his grip on the gun, slightly pulling the trigger.
Lin Xinlan slowly closed her eyes, her trembling lashes betraying the panic within her.
In the face of death, no one is not afraid, but she was just a bit braver than most.
Xu Yao stepped forward, grabbed the handgun, and said indifferently, "Killing her would be too easy for her. Watch me..."
As soon as the words left his lips, he lifted Lin Xinlan’s arm, swung it forcefully, and her entire body flipped over the railing, plunging downward!
The scream hadn’t yet come out when her body suddenly stopped falling!
Xu Yao hadn’t let go; he was holding onto her hand, suspending her, preventing her from falling into the sea.
Lin Xinlan, with her soul almost frightened out of her, her heart raced, almost leaping out of her throat.
"I’ll give you one more chance. If you don’t talk, I’ll throw you down!" Xu Yao’s cold voice sounded over her head.
Looking down at the great sea beneath her feet, a natural fear arose in her, her body tense, and she dared not move a muscle.
She hadn’t expected that they would treat her this way.
Taking a deep breath, she repeated herself, "What I’ve said is all true, I did not collude with the Mafia, nor did I ever harm Rong Shaoze."
"Woman, you don’t seem to know how to swim," Tao Hua said, arms braced on the railing, a faint smile on his lips, "Do you know what the consequence of falling down there would be?"
Of course, she knew; she would be drowned alive.
"No, not drowned," Tao Hua, as if reading her mind, knew what she was thinking.
"You’ll be eaten by sharks, torn into pieces, and die a painful death."
