She didn’t know what he had been through.
But precisely because he had lived in darkness, he should understand the terror of darkness.
What he should do was not to make more people live a life like his own, but to strive to escape from the past and start a new, bright life.
Lin Xinlan lowered her gaze and said indifferently, "Qiao Yiyang, life is very short. If you truly hate the world of darkness, then you’d better find a way to escape from it and start living the life you want sooner. If you really like everything you have now, then I have nothing to say."
Having said that, she turned around and walked out of his study.
Lu Xiaofan stood at the door, Lin Xinlan just glanced at her and left.
"Qiao Yiyang, she’s right, if you don’t like it, get rid of it all as soon as possible," Lu Xiaofan came in and said indifferently.
The man’s face was expressionless, and he glanced at her coldly: "My business is none of your concern."
"But I know that you have never been happy. A third of your life is already over, and for the rest, you can decide for yourself to live the life you want most," Lu Xiaofan was not a person of many words, nor did she ever advise Qiao Yiyang on anything.
But this time, she wanted to persuade him.
Because she also hoped that he could be happy and free.
A dim and unrecognizable glint flashed through Qiao Yiyang’s eyes, and he pressed his lips together, saying nothing.
Lin Xinlan felt so cowardly, thinking if she died, they would stop fighting, and not so many people would die because of her.
But she couldn’t bear to die.
There were still so many things in the world she couldn’t let go of, so many things she was attached to, how could she bear to die?
Besides, Qiao Yiyang’s madness for her was his own doing; she really didn’t need to take all the blame onto herself.
After figuring this out, the guilt in Lin Xinlan’s heart wasn’t as intense.
But she still hoped, the war would end soon.
Qiao Yiyang deliberately spread the rumor that he and Lin Xinlan were sharing a bed every day, in order to make Rong Shaoze lose his patience and come to him on his own.
But two days had passed, and there was no movement from Rong Shaoze’s side.
Just as he was about to take the next step, his private phone suddenly rang, the ringtone piercingly sharp.
After answering the phone and hearing the report from the other end, his face instantly darkened, his eyes filled with stormy clouds.
Rong Shaoze, you’re ruthless!
Lu Xiaofan also received the news on her end, she looked at Lin Xinlan and said coldly, "There’s been an incident!"
Lin Xinlan was startled and asked anxiously, "What happened?"
Every day she lived in fear, worried that something bad would happen.
"Rong Shaoze somehow got wind of the locations of our two important bases in North America and this morning, he secretly released poison gas into both bases. Now, a hundred people at both bases have been poisoned."
Lin Xinlan’s eyes widened in shock, not knowing what to say.
He must be close to losing his mind, as he still couldn’t save her...
Lu Xiaofan’s eyes narrowed with a cold light flickering within, "If I’m not mistaken, there’s an internal traitor within the Mafia bought off by Rong Shaoze!"
Lin Xinlan was still at a loss for words.
An internal traitor within the Mafia led to a hundred people being poisoned, and now everyone was in danger, distrusting everyone around them except for themselves.
