Chapter 208
"I didn't! I wasn't hanging out with anyone from the beginning to the end. It was just an accident! Zhong Ling, did you not believe my explanation from the beginning?"
Ruan Xiaoxiao broke down and cried. The worst thing she had done abroad was to make a bunch of bad friends because she was too lonely. Then that night, she drank too much at her birthday party because she was emotionally depressed and was almost taken advantage of by other men.
But the fundamental reason for that matter was that he didn't care about her enough. She was obviously his girlfriend! But he was busy with his studies, graduation and those messy topic analyzes all day long. When did he ever care about her wholeheartedly?
The two of them had been abroad for so long, but the number of times they saw each other in a week could be counted on one hand! How could he treat her like this? If he hadn't failed in his responsibilities as a boyfriend, would she have made friends with those messy people out of frustration? Would she have let others take advantage of her?
It was clearly him, he was the one who didn't care about her enough from the beginning. She had clearly been trying very hard to keep up with him, but she just couldn't. As her boyfriend, why couldn't he stop and wait for her?
Ruan Xiaoxiao cried until her eyes were red, she felt wronged and resentful, she looked at him with red eyes, her tears kept falling down, she cried to him, "Now I have become a vicious and selfish woman in your eyes, right? But you once liked me, and you even wanted to propose to me!"
"But what about now? Just because of a high-ranking princess you've only known for a few months, what has become of you?"
Ruan Xiaoxiao asked while crying, as if she wanted to vent all the grievances and resentments in her heart over the past few months at once, "You have been bewitched by a princess and you don't even want to see me! Have you forgotten that I am your legitimate girlfriend?"
She desperately needed to vent, tears still falling, "You think I've become bad and unworthy of you, right? But half of the reason I'm like this is because of you!"
"You're the one who left me alone abroad. You're the one who fell in love with someone else. It's all your fault. How can I bear this? Why can't I find someone to teach her a lesson?"
As Zhong Ling listened to what she said, his face became colder and colder. In the end, he sneered and seemed exceptionally calm. His calmness at this moment formed a sharp contrast with the emotional breakdown of Ruan Xiaoxiao opposite him. He even seemed a little cruel to her.
Zhong Ling sneered, and simply found it ridiculous. Does he look stupid? How could she say such a moral kidnapping? From the beginning to the end, her choice was all caused by herself, and had nothing to do with others.
"Don't make yourself sound so pitiful and wronged, and don't blame others for your stupid behavior. Ruan Xiaoxiao, you are already a 26-year-old adult, not a 16-year-old minor. No one will pay for your irresponsible behavior!"
"Do you think I'm stupid? Would you be morally kidnapped by what you said? Let me tell you, no one forced you to make a choice from the beginning to the end, and the choice you made has nothing to do with anyone. It's purely your own stupidity."
Ruan Xiaoxiao opened her eyes wide, as if she couldn't believe that he would say such cruel words, and tears fell one by one.
Zhong Ling's expression became colder and colder. "Why are you crying so hard? The person who made the mistake not only refuses to repent, but also harms others with a clear conscience. What qualifications do you have to feel wronged? Is it because you are thick-skinned or shameless?"
"I did like you, and I was ready to propose to you when I was abroad. That's a fact, I don't deny it. But now we have broken up. Even if it was a misunderstanding, we have definitely broken up! If you are dissatisfied with me, you can tell me directly instead of attacking innocent people behind their backs."
"What on earth is supporting you to become so lawless and wantonly control and play with a person's life?"
The more Zhong Ling spoke, the deeper his voice became, and his eyes became more obscure, especially when he was looking at the man in front of him who had no intention of repenting. He only felt that the anger in his heart was burning more and more intensely.
"As for the little lesson you mentioned, Ruan Xiaoxiao, I really should let you see how terrifying and disgusting the scene that happened that day was for a girl!"
He seemed unable to control his emotions whenever he mentioned the scene of that day. Zhong Ling had never been so angry before, and had never shown such a cold and disgusted look and expression to her.
Ruan Xiaoxiao was frightened by his look for a moment and took a step back unconsciously.
She just stared at him blankly.
Zhong Ling's eyes flashed fiercely, "You prepared six men for her. Do you know what those men were going to do to her? The little lesson you mentioned is to let those six men inject her with drugs and prepare to kill her? If I hadn't gone in time, do you think she would still be alive?"
"Ruan Xiaoxiao, this is the lesson you mentioned. Do you still feel wronged?"
Ruan Xiaoxiao's pupils dilated instantly, and she was a little bit unbelievable.
As Zhong Ling spoke, he suddenly grabbed her wrist. The force was so strong that Ruan Xiaoxiao felt pain and her face turned pale in pain. He seemed to be unable to control his temper and said something to her with a tone that was colder than ever before.
"If you really feel so wronged, I can also let you feel the fear she experienced at that time.
Zhong Ling really didn't understand how a person's temper could become so bad. She was obviously not like this before. Apart from being a little willful, she was even very soft-hearted. But such a soft-hearted girl almost destroyed another girl's entire life with just a flick of her hand.
Ruan Xiaoxiao seemed shocked by these words, and also seemed frightened by Zhong Ling's sudden fierce expression. She subconsciously tried to pry open the hand that was tightly clenched on her wrist, but because of the other party's overly calm and serious expression, she finally couldn't help but burst into tears out of grievance.
Her fingers were trembling slightly, and her face turned pale from crying. She shook her head vigorously, trying to explain, "I didn't, Zhong Ling, I really didn't. What men? You can't frame me. I really didn't let those men hurt her! I just asked them to pretend to be guests and go to her workplace to make things difficult for her. At most, they forced her to drink some wine, but isn't her job to accompany her drinking?"
"The worst thing I could think of was to complain to her and make her lose her job. How could I do such a cruel thing?"
"Zhong Ling, believe me, I really didn't, I really didn't let anyone inject her with any drugs, and I didn't let those men bully her..."
At the end of the conversation, Ruan Xiaoxiao's tears kept falling from her eye sockets like beads with a broken string. She felt so wronged and scared that her emotions collapsed. She had no idea what Zhong Ling was talking about.
She did ask someone to teach her a lesson, but the lesson she said was just some insignificant hardship and punishment. How could she be so bad? She didn't even say she wanted to inject any drugs, let alone kill her...
That's why she felt wronged from the beginning, thinking that Zhong Ling was making a big deal out of nothing, questioning and accusing her indiscriminately for a princess, and not even showing any mercy, but she didn't expect the result would be like this.
Ruan Xiaoxiao tried hard to control her emotions and explained to him, her voice becoming increasingly blocked and choked, "Zhong Ling, can you believe me? Even though I hate her, I really never thought of hurting her in this way. I'm really not such a vicious person, you know, you know my character..."
Zhong Ling frowned, watching her crying with such fear, regret and sadness, how could he not see that she was not sincere? If she was not lying, then someone was making it up?
He listened to the crying voice and suddenly felt annoyed. He raised his hand and pushed the person away, then said, "Tell us everything you have done from beginning to end."
By the time Ruan Xiaoxiao told Zhong Ling everything, he was basically certain that the worst outcome was caused by the poor communication between the two sides.
Ruan Xiaoxiao initially wanted to complain to Yanyan under the pretext of teaching her a lesson, but after contacting the middleman, the information conveyed was not accurate enough. In addition, the people the middleman found were obviously not good people. They were all a group of criminals who were paid to do things, and those people thought that a lesson was to teach them a lesson severely, so that night such consequences occurred.
But no matter whether she meant it sincerely or unintentionally, the injuries Yanyan suffered that night were all real.
Zhong Ling's face became more and more ugly because the matter became more and more difficult. He had clearly promised to help Yanyan deal with this matter, but now it seems that under such circumstances, it is unlikely to send the culprit behind the incident to the police station.
He had no substantial evidence at all, and since he couldn't find the middleman, he didn't have sufficient evidence to prove his guilt. The only reason he recognized the number was because he had a close relationship with Ruan Xiaoxiao, so he subconsciously remembered the other number.
But now, that number has been canceled, those who actually did it have been locked up, and there is too little evidence, so it is basically unlikely that Ruan Xiaoxiao will pay the price for her mistake.
This situation made Zhong Ling feel irritated for a while.
You know, when he didn't know who was behind the brutal attack, his original plan was to make the mastermind pay the same price. If there was no way to send the person to the police station, he could deal with the other party in his own way.
But now, it was impossible for him to do such a thing to Ruan Xiaoxiao in his own way, because no matter what, this matter was related to him.
If it weren't for him, Ruan Xiaoxiao wouldn't have done such a terrible thing. He wasn't responsible for her behavior, but he couldn't do anything about her. But what about Yanyan? Could she just let go of the injuries she suffered?
Zhong Ling put away the expression on his face, lowered his head and pondered for a long time, then looked at Ruan Xiaoxiao opposite him, whose crying had stopped, but who was in a state of great confusion and regret, and felt slightly irritated.
He suppressed his emotions, his eyes became cold and calm, and he said, "Whether you did it on purpose or not, it has already happened. You can't just say sorry and completely erase the harm this incident has brought to others. Ruan Xiaoxiao, you have studied law for so many years, and you know that your behavior does not constitute a serious infringement even in the legal sense, right?"
Hearing this, Ruan Xiaoxiao's body trembled slightly. Indeed, he was right. She deliberately used an overseas number to avoid being held accountable later. After the number was cancelled, even the call records were deleted. It was difficult for ordinary people to find the records. If Zhong Ling hadn't happened to remember the number, he probably wouldn't have known that the person behind it was her.
Without evidence, even if he really wanted to seek justice for the woman, he had no way to convict her.
What's more, the princess didn't suffer any harm. At most, she was just frightened, and this time, she really didn't expect things to be so serious.
Seeing her evasive look, Zhong Ling roughly guessed what she was thinking, and looked away in annoyance, "I will tell this to your uncle. He should be preparing for a promotion soon. Even if there is no evidence, if this matter gets out of hand and the scandal spreads, your uncle's promotion will probably not be smooth. I will ask him to send you abroad, and you are not allowed to come back in the future, let alone think about hurting others again."
This is the best solution he can think of at the moment. He can't do anything to her, but that doesn't mean he can't send her away. With such a time killer staying next to him and Yanyan, who knows what she will do in the future?
So, sending them away is the best solution.
But I can’t tell Yanyan about this.
When Zhong Ling thought of this, he frowned unconsciously and felt a little uneasy in his heart, but he really couldn't do anything for the time being.
Ruan Xiaoxiao, who was sitting opposite him, was stunned when she heard this. She looked at the man in front of her with disbelief and asked in a hoarse voice, "Send him abroad and never let him come back?"
"Are you going to tell my uncle?"
After she finished speaking, her voice became choked with sobs. Her uncle was the most important person in the Ruan family. He was involved in politics and had always been strict and upright. Moreover, he was indeed preparing for a promotion recently. If he knew about this, no matter on what level, she would never have a good life in the future.
Ruan Xiaoxiao's tears immediately came out. She felt an endless grievance and resentment in her heart. "Send me abroad? Zhong Ling, how could you do this to me? This is my home, where are you going to take me?"
"I've already explained to you that I never intended to hurt her. If you really don't feel relieved, I can even apologize to her in person! But you're sending me abroad. What will I do alone in the future?"
Ruan Xiaoxiao's resentment was about to overflow. She originally felt a little guilty, but Zhong Ling's behavior only made her feel that he was heartless and ungrateful. She did something wrong, but it was not irreparable, and it did not cause any substantial harm to the other party, right? Didn't he save her in time? Why did he send her away?
"I came back this time because I have decided not to leave. My parents are getting old, and I am their only daughter. Zhong Ling, I don't want to stay alone abroad. Please, I really know I was wrong, and I can apologize. Please don't send me away like this."
She cried and shook her head, reaching out to grab Zhong Ling's sleeve, but failed. Zhong Ling looked at the time, obviously a little impatient, he turned his head to look at her, his voice somewhat mocking,
"Do you think this punishment is too severe? I just had someone send you abroad. Don't make yourself sound so pitiful. You are not innocent at all for what you did."
Zhong Ling even felt that the punishment was not severe enough. Even if she was sent abroad, he did not feel relieved at all. Instead, he felt even more suffocated, as if a thorn had pierced his throat, making him feel indescribably depressed.
She didn't pay any price at all, but Yanyan almost lost her life because the other party's family background was not simple. This is the reality.
Zhong Ling took a deep breath and suddenly didn't want to get involved with her anymore. His face suddenly turned cold, and he suppressed the strange emotions in his chest bit by bit. Finally, he said in a cold voice:
"You have no choice but to go if you don't want to. Go and tell your uncle. You committed this crime yourself, and you will bear the consequences yourself."
But what kind of consequence is this? The person who hurt Yanyan is not only unharmed, but is also hiding abroad and escaping justice. She even feels wronged and has never apologized.
If Yanyan knew about this, he didn't even dare to think about her reaction. She might think that he was deliberately covering up for her.
When he thought of this, Zhong Ling felt a heaviness in his chest.
He did not continue to dwell on it. There was no point in talking about it any further. The Ruan family would not really convict Ruan Xiaoxiao, let alone impose any substantial punishment on her. It was inevitable that she would be treated lightly.
Zhong Ling had to admit the fact that he could not retaliate privately, not only because this incident was caused by him, but more importantly, some things were not as simple as he thought. After all, the Ruan family was not that easy to provoke.
Zhong Ling frowned, and under the light, his dark eyes clearly revealed a hint of irritability.
He turned around and put the document away, his expression slightly restrained. This matter might need to be kept secret from Yanyan, at least not for now.
Zhong Ling no longer cared about Ruan Xiaoxiao who was crying behind him. He drove all the way back home. It was almost seven o'clock when he got home and it was already dark.
Usually when he got off work, there was no one at home. Mrs. Zhang would be there occasionally, but she would usually leave early on Friday afternoons. In the past, when he came home late, the huge house was always dark and extremely quiet. He didn't think there was anything wrong with this situation, and instead enjoyed that peaceful environment.
However, things are a little different now.
When the car parked in the yard, I saw that the lights in the living room were on. The warm white light reflected on the cold gray curtains on the windows, and there was an inexplicable warm scent of fireworks.
Zhong Ling opened the door and didn't see anyone, but he heard some noises in the living room. After listening carefully, he found that it was the sound of a melodramatic fairy tale drama that was very popular recently being played on TV.
He thought Nan Yan was watching TV, but when he got closer, he found that the TV was on, but the person sitting on the sofa had fallen asleep. He found it a little funny and looked at his phone again. It was so late and she was still asleep. It seemed that she stayed up late again last night. He didn't know when this fairy cat who liked to stay up late would be able to adjust its sleep and rest schedule.
Zhong Ling walked over lightly, knelt on one knee at the edge of the sofa, raised his hand to carefully push away the loose hair covering her face, and couldn't help pinching her face.
"Are you sleeping here to wait for me, Yanyan?"
Zhong Ling reached out his hand and rubbed his girlfriend's lips, then leaned over and kissed her. The sleeping fairy felt the weight on her body and turned over unhappily. The sofa was not that spacious, and as soon as she turned over, the thin blanket on her body fell off.
Zhong Ling saw that she was not wearing pajamas, but a loose, everyday T-shirt with a cat pattern printed on the chest, and only a pair of light cotton and linen shorts underneath.
As she turned over, her originally loose T-shirt was lifted up halfway, revealing her slender and soft waist.
Zhong Ling glanced down and just happened to see the light purple lace bra faintly visible on her chest. It was a limited edition fairy style, which he had just bought at the mall two days ago.
He just stretched out his hand, intending to cover the person's clothes, but when he touched the soft and delicate skin, he unconsciously touched the waist. He couldn't help but rub it for a while, and his fingers wanted to explore upwards along the hem of the clothes.
"Zhongling?"
She called out his name in a daze.
"Yeah, it's me. I just got back."
Zhong Ling could also hear her mumbling softly, but he didn't know what she was saying. Although she was awake, she still had the habit of staying in bed and refused to get up.
Nan Yan would be taken advantage of if she didn't react to such an obvious movement. When the other person bent down and kissed her slowly, she pushed her chest twice in annoyance, but he didn't push her away. Instead, his hands moved slowly up along her waistline, and his fingers were cool, making her feel a little itchy.
Nan Yan finally couldn't help it this time, she opened her eyes, her eyes full of dissatisfaction after being disturbed from her sleep, she slapped his hand away, and shouted with a little annoyance:
"Zhongling."
"Well, what's wrong?"
How dare this guy ask her what's wrong?
Nan Yan simply wanted to hit him.
Zhong Ling, who was addicted to the kiss, felt his girlfriend's lack of cooperation and her breathing became a little rapid. He couldn't help but move forward and kiss her slightly open lips. He held down her outstretched hand and covered it with half of his body. At first, he just tried it lightly, but gradually he became dissatisfied.
He felt that human nature might really be double standards and contradict what he had said before. He said that she didn't have to revolve around him and could have her own private space, but when she always treated him so calmly, he would feel dissatisfied. No matter how close they were, it was not enough. He hoped that she could care more about him and be closer to him.
But she didn't seem to have much desire for him, which troubled Zhong Ling. Adult men and women have sexual desires, which is not shameful, on the contrary, it is normal, but Yanyan is not so enthusiastic about this. Is it because his skills are not good enough? Or did he not make her feel comfortable that night?
Nan Yan was completely awake now. She was awakened by the sticky kiss. She had no way to push him away. She could only glare at him unhappily and asked, "Are you done kissing? You're very heavy."
Zhong Ling then stood up and supported her head on both sides, being careful not to press her hair. There was a faint aroma of coffee in his mouth that flew towards her face. Then he buried his head again, rubbing his tall nose against her chin, kissing her closely and closely, and asked her:
"Have you taken a shower? You smell so good."
Nan Yan tilted her head to smell the smell on her body. "I haven't washed it yet, but it always smells like this? The scent of shower gel. What happened to you tonight?"
Feeling a little overexcited for no apparent reason?
Zhong Ling did not answer her question. He lowered his head and kissed her earlobe again, then slowly moved down her neck. Her fluffy and dry hair rubbed her neck, making it itchy.
Nan Yan subconsciously wanted to push his face away.
Zhong Ling then raised his head. His eyes were focused and gentle, especially when he was staring at people. It was difficult for people to look away and it was also difficult to refuse his request.
He didn't know what happened tonight. He didn't know if it was because of Ruan Xiaoxiao's matter. He always felt inexplicably uneasy in his heart. When people feel uneasy, they will subconsciously want to hold on to the thing or person next to them that they are most afraid of losing.
He subconsciously wanted to get close to Yanyan.
Nan Yan clearly felt the strange reaction. She heard his breathing become more rapid and his voice became hoarse, as if it had some kind of penetrating power. Especially when it hovered in her ear, it was filled with a strong desire. "Give it to me? I will wear it this time. I have prepared it in advance. I have a box in a few minutes."
He looked different from his usual calm state. His eyelashes were drooping, his black hair was scattered in front of his forehead, and the tip of his nose was a little wet and flushed. He squinted his eyes, and Nan Yan happened to meet his eyes that were so sticky that they seemed to be pulling strings.
Is this person serious?
This is a bit strange. Wasn't he quite calm and restrained in the past two days?
Nan Yan felt that she might have guessed something, but she didn't show it. She put her arms around his neck and kissed the corner of his eyes. Because of this initiative, Zhong Ling could feel his heartbeat speeding up slowly, but soon he heard her rubbing his nose to refuse, "No, it's my period, and I've been feeling a little uncomfortable these days."
She seemed to do it on purpose, deliberately looking at his embarrassed expression, and there was even a slight smile flashing in her eyes.
Zhong Ling frowned, feeling somewhat regretful.
But counting the days, it seems to be coming soon.
To be honest, he didn't know much about girls' menstrual period. He only had a vague idea in his mind that it was indeed not suitable to do such things during the menstrual period. The girl would feel uncomfortable and might even have abdominal pain. Of course, he was reluctant to do it.
But he really wanted it tonight. Since the last incident, the two of them had never been so close again.
Zhong Ling was worried that his excessive demands would cause the other party to be disgusted, so he usually restrained himself. At most, he just kissed, and if he needed it, he would solve it himself. But tonight, perhaps he was too stimulated, and it was inevitable that he could not control himself.
So he lowered his head and kissed her lips again. The soft touch made him somewhat fascinated and obsessed. He said in a low, hoarse voice, "Can you help me? Just get it out."
Nan Yan thought that it was reasonable for her to blush at this time.
But she looked up and saw Boss Zhong frowning. His eyes were so calm, as if what she said was just a very common thing. Nan Yan couldn't help but glare at him. This guy was getting more and more shameless. She asked him again, "Is five minutes enough for you? It's getting late. I have to get up."
Five minutes... Zhong Ling's expression froze strangely. What could he do in such a short time? Would a normal person work at this speed? Zhong Ling even wondered if Yanyan had any misunderstanding about him? Was he so unbearable in her eyes?
Zhong Ling frowned and hesitated for a moment, but something is better than nothing. Solving the problem by oneself and having a girlfriend willing to help are obviously two different experiences. He has never tried this before.
He buried his head in Nan Yan's neck and sniffed it gently, a bit like sniffing a cat, sniffing the soft fragrance that was faintly diffused from the neck, and his voice slowed down, "Okay, then I'll try. It may not be that easy. You have to understand."
The agreed five minutes was dragged into half an hour. Nan Yan was held tightly around the waist and almost sat on his lap. In the end, she felt that her waist was about to be broken.
…
After this matter was resolved, Zhong Ling's mood improved visibly. He no longer had the frowning and depressed look he had at the beginning. He tidied up his messy clothes meticulously.
He took Nan Yan's hand and went to the sink again. Perhaps he knew that he had gone too far this time, so he squeezed the hand sanitizer and washed away all the remaining traces carefully, and then wiped his hands with a towel.
Zhong Ling even smelled her fingers, washed them twice to make sure there was no peculiar smell before letting her go. Then he began to apologize, "I'm sorry, I will pay more attention next time."
This kind of person is probably the type who admits his mistakes and corrects them, but makes the same mistake again next time.
Nan Yan looked obviously unhappy.
After glaring at him, she turned her head away and didn't want to pay any attention to him.
Zhong Ling curled his lips. He actually quite liked making her angry. She looked much more lively than before, not as gentle and quiet as before. She seemed very close to him, but in fact there was always a thin film between the two of them.
After dinner, Nan Yan finally had the chance to ask the questions in her heart. The two of them sat on the sofa and watched TV. Zhong Ling was very well behaved at this time. He held her waist and did not do anything excessive. He just bent down and kissed her forehead occasionally, which felt a little wet.
Nan Yan asked him, "Did you encounter anything unhappy today?"
It was clearly a simple sentence to inquire about information, but it was misinterpreted by the other party. Zhong Ling looked down at her and even smiled, "Are you concerned about me?"
Nan Yan paused for a moment, and couldn't help but reach out and pinch him, "Zhong Ling, please speak properly."
Zhong Ling hissed and touched the merciless little hand again, but his expression didn't change much, he was still smiling, "Okay, it's nothing."
"It's just some minor troubles at work. It's not a big problem. I can handle it myself."
Nan Yan was puzzled, "Is that all?"
Zhong Ling chuckled, "What else could it be?"
"I thought it was the Zhong family who made things difficult for you."
Hearing this, Zhong Ling frowned, but soon relaxed. He smiled at Nan Yan and said, "No, I am already an adult. No matter how powerful the Zhong family is, they can't control me. I can support you with my own ability."
Nan Yan nodded without hesitation. After hesitating for a moment, she suddenly turned around and kissed the corner of his mouth. This action surprised Zhong Ling. He looked down at her, and then heard her voice softly saying, "If you encounter anything unhappy in the future, you can tell me, don't keep it in your heart. We are now... a couple, and we will get married in the future."
She paused for a moment, held his hand with her fingers, and put it against her face, "I promised you that I would be with you. I will always love you in the future, as long as you don't lie to me, okay, Zhong Ling?"
"...Um, no."
After Nan Yan's probing, she felt that it was not the Zhong family's affairs that bothered him, so it was most likely Ruan Xiaoxiao's affairs, so she asked again, "By the way, you said before that you would help me find the mastermind behind those people. Have you found out? Do you have evidence to convict him?"
When Zhong Ling heard this, the fingers that had been pinching her paused for a moment. Although they quickly returned to normal, Nan Yan obviously felt it.
This guy must be upset about this matter tonight. It seems that he did find out something.
Why didn't he tell her directly? Was it because he couldn't help her deal with the matter? Or was it because he was soft-hearted and couldn't be cruel to his ex-girlfriend whom he once liked?
Nan Yan felt that she had finally caught his little braid, and all her efforts were not in vain.
Zhong Ling didn't know whether he was afraid of seeing her disappointed look or worried that the incident would affect the peaceful life they finally had. He lowered his head and remained silent for a moment, but finally chose to keep the matter secret.
"I'm sorry, it may not be easy to find evidence for that matter. The only confirmed information is that the person behind it was a third-party contact found online, so it is difficult to verify."
"Yanyan, I'm sorry..."
Zhong Ling was obviously in a bad mood when he said this.
Nan Yan saw that the man seemed a little depressed, so she reached out and rubbed his face, smiled and comforted him, "It's okay, I don't mean that you must find that person. You don't need to apologize to me. This matter itself is very difficult, and it is not your responsibility."
She spoke in a softer voice, comforting him while also speaking to herself, "At worst, I will try to be more careful in the future and not give others the chance to hurt me. Besides, aren't those people also locked up?"
The people she was talking about were the ones who committed the crime in the club that day. Zhong Ling saw that although she was smiling, there was still some uneasiness in her eyes. This was normal. No one would feel at ease when there was someone secretly wanting to hurt or retaliate against them.
He reached out and held Nan Yan in his arms, resting his chin on her shoulder. "You can rest assured about this. I won't give that person the chance to hurt you again."
