"When you want to experience life quickly, you’ll come to thing."
Lin Xinlan felt a chill run down her spine, and Qiao Yiyang’s expression made her feel terrified.
"What do you mean by that?" she asked stiffly.
The man smiled faintly, but there wasn’t a hint of humor in his eyes:
"Xinlan, I told you not to be afraid, this thing really isn’t anything scary. You just need to experience it for three months to see if Rong Shaoze truly loves you. If he doesn’t, come find me, and I’ll give you the antidote. If I’m dead, well, after three months, you can come down and join me. Remember, only I have the antidote, no one else does."
Lin Xinlan listened with her hair standing on end, so if Qiao Yiyang didn’t offer her the antidote, she only had three months to live?
Her heartbeat almost came to a stop.
Qiao Yiyang was a madman, a madman!
"You’re killing me, how could Rong Shaoze not truly love me! You just want me to die without the antidote, don’t you?! Aren’t you afraid that you won’t die but I will?!"
Qiao Yiyang confidently said, "That won’t happen. With a face like yours, Rong Shaoze will definitely be disgusted; he won’t continue to love you. Xinlan, promise me, if he stops loving you, come find me immediately. No, you won’t be able to find me. I’ll be dead, and then, after three months, once you’re down there, will you accept me?"
Lin Xinlan grabbed his sleeve in desperation and asked, "What will my face become? A monster?"
She shook her head in disbelief.
"I don’t want to become a monster, Qiao Yiyang, if I turn into a monster, I’d rather die!"
The man stroked her face with a smile, speaking softly, "How could you become a monster? You’ll still be you, always you. Xinlan, promise me, if he despises you, once you’re underground, you’ll choose me, you’ll be with me, okay? I love you so much, won’t you give me a chance?"
"I won’t! Give me the antidote, give it to me now!" Lin Xinlan tore at his clothes, crying out.
"How can you do this to me, Qiao Yiyang, you’re killing me, I don’t want to become a monster, I don’t want to!"
"Ah, like I said, you won’t become a monster." Qiao Yiyang sighed softly and suddenly knocked her out with a blow.
Lin Xinlan slumped into his arms, her face caressed by him, his gaze tender.
"Xinlan, I know, if I ask you to come down with me now, you definitely won’t agree. Even if you did, you wouldn’t stay with me because your heart belongs to Rong Shaoze. But when you find out he doesn’t love you, will you continue to love him? Xinlan, I’ll be waiting for you down there, waiting for you to fall in love with me."
Looking up, he said to the silent bodyguard in the passenger seat, "You’ve been with me for a while, always loyal. You can go now, no need to die with me. Xiaofan, you too. They’re after me; if you escape, they might not utterly destroy you."
"BOSS, I won’t leave. We can fight our way out, and we’ll find a way to escape!" the man stated firmly.
Qiao Yiyang shook his head, "It’s impossible to escape. Do you really think you can evade the joint pursuit of the Phoenix and the Mafia?"
The man choked, knowing they were trapped, with death as their only exit.
They were not gods; they simply didn’t have the means to escape.
With the Phoenix and the Mafia joining forces to hunt them down, they would be caught no matter where they fled to.
