CHAPTER 205: CHAPTER 121: FORCED TO ACCEPT

"Major, you are my superior; you can arrange my work schedule, but my personal life does not need to comply with your arrangements," Xia You could be sure that tonight’s dinner gathering and Ren Minghang’s appearance were all orchestrated by Lin Yi.

The restaurant’s parking lot was open on all four sides, with one side facing Bazhou’s protective moat. At night, the sound of the wind layered with the slapping of the water, unceasing, wave after wave.

"As a woman, whether within the military region or in society, if a woman wants to stand firm, she must have a support. Your brother Simon’s issue must be resolved, or it will directly affect your personal development." Lin Yi walked over to the railing near the moat, Xia You hesitated but then, glancing at Xiao Maiqi who was asleep in the car, followed him.

"I don’t need any support. I have completed this mission and I don’t think the work at the military region suits me. I will submit my resignation next week when I return to the military region," Xia Yun’s words were a turning point, but Lin Yi’s arrangement tonight was even more repellent to Xia You.

"Xia You, do you think you can come and go from the military as you please?" Lin Yi’s voice became stern all of a sudden, his pleasant demeanor instantly turned as cold and severe as ice, as he closed in step by step.

"I have that freedom," Xia You, cornered, could only retreat.

"You don’t, even if you do, your family and the soundly sleeping Xiao Maiqi in the car, they don’t. Simon’s case has plenty of evidence; unless a key witness changes their testimony, he’s guaranteed to be locked up for good. In a family, if any relative is involved in a criminal offense, it would ruin everyone else." Lin Yi’s words were like poisoned spikes, each one stabbing deep into Xia You’s heart.

"I can hire a lawyer," Xia You knew what she was saying was futile, but she still tried to argue.

"Ren Minghang is interested in you, if you accommodate him, or if you marry into the Ren Family, this issue will be smoothed over," Lin Yi threw out a sentence that blocked Xia You’s route of retreat and her continuing arguments.

Xia You’s eyes widened, staring at Lin Yi who was only a few steps away from her, her face showing disbelief, resistance, and deep resentment.

The words Lin Yi said were undeniably real, and equally cruel.

Everyone has their own capital, and their own weapons, and someone as insignificant as Xia You could only use herself as the capital to rescue her family.

"Or perhaps, you’re interested in continuing what we started that day," Lin Yi grabbed Xia You’s waist with one hand, pulling her into his arms, whispering in her ear, "I admit, I’m not just ’interested’ in you like Ren Minghang is, there is something wickedly enticing about you."

"Get lost," Xia You exploded like ignited dynamite, struggling, but Lin Yi’s hand gripped her body tightly.

There was no one else in the parking lot. She struggled for a moment and then suddenly started to cry, filled with helplessness and frustration.

Lin Yi didn’t say a word, held Xia You tightly, and gently shook her shoulders, "Xia You, you know your capabilities, you need to make good use of your weapons, and destroy all your enemies."

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a pain in his shoulder. Xia You had bitten into his shoulder, ferociously, as if venting all her frustrations, living by the words Lin Yi just said.

It wasn’t pain, but a more intense pleasure, his mind went blank, and Lin Yi retaliated, holding Xia You tight against the railing, bit her hand in return, his bite was not too deep, easily giving rise to a sultry misconception.

He frequently made mistakes calling out the dish names while ordering just now; all that flashed through his mind was Xia You’s face.

That woman, damned, made him care. Not only her body, but even her eyes carried an enticingly criminal element.

"You’re crazy," Xia You had no choice but to let go, prompting Lin Yi to burst into laughter, very pleased to see the blush on her cheeks.

"You’re crazy too, Xia You. But the words I said just now weren’t false, take a look behind you, then at me, the madman. Make a choice, whether to follow me or Ren Minghang. Whichever you choose, nothing will happen to Simon. However, Ren Minghang will give you a status, while I will not." Lin Yi’s relationship with Xianxian was unbreakable; he needed Xianxian, not because of emotions, but because he knew that maintaining good relations with the David Sect was also important.
