Chapter 109: Chapter 109 All the photos were destroyedLin Xinlan bid farewell to Qiao Yiyang and headed home alone.

    Ever since Rong Shaoze was rumored to have contracted AIDS, he had been staying at home, hardly ever going out. Now that the rumors were dispelled, he could feel relieved to go out and have fun.

    Plus, having been confined at home for over a month, now that he was free to go out, of course, he wanted to enjoy himself.

    When Lin Xinlan returned home, Rong Shaoze was still out having fun and hadn’t come back.

    That night, he didn’t return, staying out all night.

    After breakfast, Lin Xinlan made plans with Qiao Yiyang and Zhou Yu, and then left the house.

    They arrived together at the entrance of the police station, where Lin Xinlan formally met Zhou Yu for the first time.

    He was just a nineteen-year-old boy, but quite tall, probably around one-eighty-something, with a strong build, just like his brother Zhou Xi, both well-built men.

    The three of them entered the police station together. Lin Xinlan and Qiao Yiyang spoke highly of Zhou Xi, persuading the police to consider pleading for Zhou Xi to the judge.

    Qiao Yiyang even suggested hiring a lawyer for Zhou Xi, which moved Zhou Yu greatly.

    Upon leaving the police station, Zhou Yu asked them to wait for a moment, then ran off somewhere; after quite a while, he came back with a bag of items.

    "Miss Lin, Mr. Qiao, these are all the photos. I’ve deleted the negatives from the phone, and as long as these photos are destroyed, no one will know about that incident."

    Lin Xinlan laughed, "You really are quite cautious of us."

    He even knew to hide the photos rather than carry them with him.

    Zhou Yu’s face turned red with embarrassment, "I’m sorry, I was just afraid that you might go back on your word, and I really want to save my brother."

    Qiao Yiyang took the bag and pulled out the photos.

    In the photos, he and Lin Xinlan were in bed together, both bare-armed, clinging closely to each other—evidence of what had transpired was apparent at a glance.

    Such photos, if they were to spread online, would leave both him and Lin Xinlan without a shred of dignity, and even Rong Shaoze would lose face.

    The Rong Family would be furious.

    Lin Xinlan felt relieved that Zhou Yu had not released the photos, or else the Zhou Family would certainly face severe retaliation.

    Qiao Yiyang took a lighter, set the photos on fire one by one, and then disposed of them in the trash can.

    All of the photos were destroyed, and Lin Xinlan breathed a sigh of relief.

    When she got back home, she saw Rong Shaoze sitting on the sofa with a sullen expression. She wondered who had upset him again.

    "Come here." Seeing her enter, he motioned to her indifferently.

    Lin Xinlan felt a bit apprehensive, wondering if she was the one who had provoked him again.

    She went over and sat beside him. The man wrapped his arm around her waist, pulling her into an affectionate embrace.

    But the look in his eyes was cold and somewhat gloomy, a stark contrast to his affectionate actions. S~ea??h the N??eFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    "What’s wrong?" Lin Xinlan asked nervously.

    She was already afraid of Rong Shaoze, this unpredictable man. No one knew what he might do next.

    "Lao Gu said that you came back very late last night, didn’t you?" he asked coldly.

    Lin Xinlan tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, replying lightly, "Yes, I went to discuss Zhou Xi’s case yesterday, so I was delayed a bit longer than expected."

    "Ha, but you left yesterday at noon, right? From noon until night, nearly ten hours, were you discussing his case the entire time? What is Zhou Xi to you, that you go to such lengths?" Rong Shaoze laughed coldly, his voice soft yet chilling to the bone.
