Chapter 82: Chapter 82: He Won’t Let It GoZhou Xi could tell they were good hearted people; the more he interacted with them, the guiltier he felt and the more he regretted his actions.

    "There’s no need to go to the hospital, but you really need to take us down from here, we aren’t familiar with this place."

    "Of course." Zhou Xi said with a smile, nodding vigorously.

    Lin Xinlan and Qiao Yiyang exchanged glances and couldn’t help but laugh.

    This fortunate turn of events was lucky for Zhou Xi as well as for the two of them.

    Zhou Xi’s mother also insisted on seeing them off. They all boarded the family’s small truck and descended the mountain together.

    When Lin Xinlan returned home, it was already late.

    Lao Gu saw her return, his eyes wide open in shock for a moment before breaking into a joyful smile, "Young Madam, you’re back!"

    "Yes, I’m back." Lin Xinlan said with a slight smile, feeling a sense of relief as if she had been reborn after a calamity.

    "Young Madam, the young master is upstairs in the study. I’ll go and inform him right away that you have returned."

    "No need, I’ll go and find him myself." Lin Xinlan stopped her and then went upstairs to the study.

    She knocked on the door, and Rong Shaoze’s deep voice came from inside, "What is it?"

    "It’s me."

    Suddenly, there was silence inside, and the next second, the door was pulled open. Rong Shaoze’s robust figure appeared before her. His dark eyes surveyed her from head to toe, yet he said not a word.

    Lin Xinlan felt uncomfortable under his gaze, "May I come in and talk to you?"

    "Come in." He stepped aside, and they both sat down by the sofa.

    "Tell me, what exactly happened?" he asked in a low tone.

    Lin Xinlan thought for a moment and said, "It’s all over. I don’t want to pursue the matter. Can you let it go as well? It was just a youth who had temporarily lost his way. His mother pleaded for us to forgive him, and he realized his mistake and apologized to us. So, I don’t want to pursue the matter."

    "We?" Rong Shaoze sensitively caught on to this word, "Who else was kidnapped?"

    "Just an ordinary friend I happened to run into on the street today, and then he got dragged into the kidnapping as well."

    "Was it the fruit vendor, Yan Cheng?"

    Lin Xinlan shook her head, "No, another friend, just an acquaintance. You wouldn’t know him even if I told you. Actually, I don’t even know him well. His being kidnapped today was purely because of my involvement."

    Rong Shaoze saw how indifferently she spoke and did not press on who the person was.

    He laughed coldly, "Lin Xinlan, your heart is far too kind. Someone kidnaps you and then apologizes, and you forgive him.

    If everyone were like you, what would be the need for police? If I were to kill you and then apologize, would you also forgive me and not hold me accountable?

    Besides, do you think the person he kidnapped was just anyone? It was the Young Madam of the Rong Family. You can let it go, but I can’t just let it slide!"

    Rong Shaoze could not hide his anger. When he received the news of her kidnapping, all he thought about was how to rescue her, and he even worried for her safety.

    But she was saying to just forget about it. sea??h thё N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    She might swallow her anger, but he could not!

    Lin Xinlan knew he wouldn’t let things go easily.

    His unwillingness to drop the matter was not truly out of concern or care for her.

    It was because her identity was his wife, and her kidnapping was an insult and a challenge to his dignity and face. That’s why he wouldn’t let it go easily.
