My eyes gradually became firm.
I said word by word: "I don't like any other necklaces, I only want that one. I want you to return it to me, otherwise..."
"What else?" Yan Meng frowned.
I put down the bowl and chopsticks in my hands, and said calmly: "Otherwise I will go on a hunger strike and let you watch me become a monster because of you."
Yan Meng's anger rose instantly.
He frowned, his expression stern: "Are you threatening me?"
I met his gaze fearlessly. "You were the one who asked me to stay. You were the one who told me you'd give me whatever I wanted. What? You're going to break your promise right after you said it?"
Yan Meng stared at me, choked by me and speechless.
In the end, he couldn't do anything to me. Even though he looked reluctant, he still had to compromise.
He called someone in and ordered, "Bring me the necklace from my study drawer."
Soon, the servant brought the necklace and presented it to Yan Meng.
When I saw the necklace in the servant's hand, my eyes lit up instantly.
That was indeed my necklace, with Lu Zhiyuan's wedding ring hanging on it.
Yan Meng saw my expression. He suppressed his anger and coldly ordered the servant, "Give her the necklace."
I took the necklace and held it carefully in my hand as if I had found a treasure.
Yan Meng urged me with a serious expression: "Can we eat properly now?"
I stuffed the necklace under my pillow and then picked up the dishes again.
Yan Meng watched me finish my meal, and then asked the servants to clear the table.
There were only him and I left in the ward, and the silent awkwardness made me feel depressed.
I said to Yan Meng calmly, "I'm tired and want to rest. I can't sleep well if you stay here."
A hint of loss appeared in Yan Meng's eyes, but he didn't say much and turned around and left the room.
After the door was closed, I immediately took out the necklace from under the pillow, rubbed the ring with my fingers, and fell into deep thought.
Yan Meng took great pains to bring me out of the hospital, simply because he wanted to possess me, so he must have wanted me to be alive and well, rather than just a cold corpse.
And the hunger strike I just used as a test has proved that my guess is correct.
Yan Meng didn't want to see anything happen to me, otherwise he would have let me go on a hunger strike. He had thousands of ways to keep me alive anyway.
And I just happened to be Yan Meng's weak spot. I could take advantage of him by acting like a rogue. As long as my demands were not excessive, he would not refuse me.
Thinking about this, I gradually made up my mind.
Yan Meng will obey me anyway, so I might as well stay here peacefully on the surface and let him relax his guard against me.
Then I would take the opportunity to explore the surroundings, figure out where I was, and then look for a chance to ask for help or escape.
Having made up my mind, I put the necklace back on my neck.
As I stroked the wedding ring with my fingers, I couldn't help but think of Lu Zhiyuan.
I don't know where Lu Zhiyuan is now. Is he safe? Is Zhuo Hai and the others' plan going smoothly?
If I could get Yan Meng to let down his guard against me, perhaps I could find out something about Mr.'s organization.
Yan Meng is here now. If there is any new development in the organization, you will be informed of Yan Meng as soon as possible.
So I should keep a close eye on Yan Meng's whereabouts and find an opportunity to slip away.
This can be considered as helping Zhuo Hai and Lu Zhiyuan.
