Chapter 83: Chapter 83: I am not your thingIf he finds out who kidnapped her, Zhou Xi would definitely be sent to prison by him, and at the very least, she’d be locked away for several years, perhaps even suffering a great deal.

    Thinking of Zhou Mother’s protective instincts toward her son, Lin Xinlan couldn’t bear to upset her.

    Empathy is tough, if Xiaocong did something wrong and had to be punished, even if she believed he deserved it, she would do everything possible to protect him and minimize his suffering.

    This is a mother’s love, selfish yet magnificent.

    No matter what, since she promised not to pursue the matter, she wouldn’t go back on her word and let Zhou Xi be punished.

    "Rong Shaoze, I know you can’t let this go. But since I was the one kidnapped, and I’m not pursuing it, you should let it go too. I promised them I wouldn’t follow up on this, so no matter how much you ask, I won’t say who it was."

    The man’s face grew dark in an instant, and he looked at her coldly, his thin lips curving into an indifferent arc:

    "Lin Xinlan, are you really not going to tell me who it was? Do you think I can’t find out? If I do find out, I’ll make sure he doesn’t die a peaceful death!"

    Lin Xinlan was startled and couldn’t help but angrily say, "Enough! I was the one kidnapped, not you! I’m not pursuing it, what right do you have to? Rong Shaoze, accumulate some virtue, haven’t you harmed enough people? Aren’t you afraid of retribution one day?"

    "Woman, is that how you should speak to me?!" He angrily grabbed her wrist and pulled her into his arms, his eyes darkening as he glared at her.

    "What do you mean I have no right to pursue it! I think you are mistaken about one thing, you are my possession, and I have the utmost right to deal with your issues, even you don’t have the right to manage your own affairs!" sea??h thё novёlF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    Possession, possession!

    Lin Xinlan got angry as soon as she heard this, "I’m not your possession, I am a person, I am my own!"

    "You are my possession. Have you forgotten? The moment you made that deal with me, you were mine, and everything about you must obey me," Rong Shaoze said, gripping her waist fiercely, his tone domineering and wicked.

    "Let go of me, it was just a transaction, I didn’t sell myself to you!"

    Lin Xinlan struggled hard, but his grip was so strong, she couldn’t break free.

    Suddenly, Rong Shaoze flipped her over and pinned her down on the couch, restraining her movements. His gaze was cold and indifferent, his tone filled with danger, "I’m asking you one last time, who is that man?"

    "I won’t tell!"

    "Are you going to tell me or not?!" he demanded, tightening his grip on her jaw, his tone more fierce.

    When Rong Shaoze got angry, it was terrifying.

    A single glower, just one cold word, could instill fear in one’s heart.

    She had seen his cruel methods. He could, without blinking an eye, deliver a woman to a perverted man to become his plaything.

    Initially, he was high-handed, forcing himself on her without a second thought.

    He was not someone who just talked idly, if he said he would never let someone off, then she believed he would truly not let that person off easily.

    So, Zhou Xi in his hands would definitely not end up well.

    He was not only indirectly responsible for Zhou Yun’s death, but was he also going to ruin Zhou Xi?

    Lin Xinlan’s heart suddenly felt sympathy for the brother and sister; she wanted to protect that boy, the dutiful one with a great mother.

    Looking straight into Rong Shaoze’s eyes, she mustered the courage to say pointlessly:
