CHAPTER 845: CHAPTER 845: DO YOU WANT TO LEAVE HER A WILL?

Lin Xinlan exclaimed, "No, you can’t go! Let’s find a way to lure Yuan Ye here. If you go there, he will surely have set a trap waiting for you to fall into."

This was obvious.

If Rong Shaoze went, it would surely be a perilous journey.

"Xinlan, I must go. If I don’t, he will kill Xiaocong," Rong Shaoze said helplessly.

"...Isn’t there a better way?"

"No, Yuan Ye’s target is me. As long as I go, he won’t make things too difficult for Xiaocong. Xinlan... if I can’t come back... you must take care of our child and live well, understand?"

Lin Xinlan’s eyes widened in terror.

Was Rong Shaoze giving her his last words?

He had always been flamboyant and confident, never conceding.

Why was he saying this now?

"Rong Shaoze, tell me honestly, do you have no confidence at all?" Lin Xinlan pushed him away and asked calmly.

The man’s eyes were deep, "Not really, but I will do my best to rescue Xiaocong. However, Yuan Ye hates me to the bone; he won’t give up until I am dead. So, this trip is very dangerous."

Lin Xinlan was puzzled, "Do you have a grudge against him?"

"Yes." The man nodded and pulled her to sit by the bed.

He held her hand, thought for a moment, and said, "Actually, I learned today that he is someone from my past."

Lin Xinlan did not interrupt him.

He fell into memories and slowly said, "When I first went to the Yanhuang Base for training, my grandmother selected two attendants for me, hoping they would become my right-hand men to help me manage Yanhuang in the future. One of them was Xu Yao, and the other was Han Yi."

"Han Yi was three years older than me, a boy who wasn’t very talkative but was sincere towards others. His personality made everyone like him and enjoy being close to him. Whenever someone got injured during training, he would secretly visit them with medicine. He was good to everyone, and people would confide in him with their troubles."

Rong Shaoze paused, then said self-mockingly, "At that time, I also liked him very much, thinking he was a good friend. Compared to Xu Yao’s cold demeanor, Han Yi was indeed more suited to be my confidant. He was very loyal to me, never disobeying my orders, and had saved my life several times during training. So I trusted him deeply; he was the only person I trusted at the base."

Lin Xinlan’s eyelids twitched, and she suddenly recalled something from long ago.

Rong Shaoze standing on the balcony, speaking to her.

"...Xinlan, you will never know what it means to trust others. So, I’d rather betray the world than let the world hurt me."

At that time, when he said those words, she knew he had once trusted someone and ultimately came to a bad end.

Could it be that Han Yi was the person who made him lose trust in others?

Rong Shaoze lowered his eyes and said flatly, "My grandmother told me that no one in this world can be completely trusted. I didn’t believe it because Han Yi was my only friend, the person most worthy of my trust. After years of spending time together, my trust in him reached a level where I would tell him everything."

"Everyone at Yanhuang knew that my grandmother had something very precious in her possession. But no one knew what it was. However, I knew that it was a treasure map and an ancient martial arts manual passed down from the Xuanyuan Family.
