s a goal, he must achieve it. He had the intention to frighten Lin Meng again, and he truly scared her once, feeling satisfied in his heart. However, his desire couldn't be fulfilled. This is a man wh...As he spoke, a tinge of sadness crept into Lin Meng's voice. As he continued, he couldn't hold back the tears any longer and silently let them fall. Rong Ling was heartbroken at this sight, reaching out to gently wipe away his tears.

"Rong Ling, I don't even know what to do. I feel like I have to help the Jiang family, but you... you..."

She choked back a sob and suddenly reached out, pulling him into a tight embrace as if he were her most precious treasure, something she could never let go of.

"I don't want to leave you…" she murmured softly, feeling as if her words were tearing at her heart.

He felt a mixture of tenderness and satisfaction in his heart. He knew that this woman would never leave him. But the Jiang family, using Jiang Polang's affection to coerce her, pushing her to this point, was truly despicable!

When he thinks the woman he's tormenting is so easy to bully! If he wants to take her, he has to get past him first!

"Little darling, I swear, when that happened to you, I didn't know, and I never wanted you dead!"

Even though he almost offered her his whole heart, she still ruthlessly rejected him. Then, she disappeared without a trace. At that moment, he was filled with rage and wanted to kill her, but that was just a momentary fit of anger! How could he possibly want to hurt her!

"I believe you," Lin Meng said with certainty. "You're not that kind of person, I believe you. But Rong... what about Third Uncle..."

Rong Ling's face darkened. He understood in his heart that it was most likely his third uncle who had sent someone to kill her. After all, he always wanted what was best for him and didn't want him to be held back by a woman. So if this truly was orchestrated by his own third uncle, then this knot would be very difficult to untie.

"Jiang Yichen asked me to help, and I feel like I should. Otherwise...I...I'd be letting Xiaolang down. My life is his gift after all. And --" biting her lip, Lin Meng forced a chill into her heart with a nasal tone. "And, Third Uncle really did some terrible things back then!"

What are you going to do!

Lin Meng was speechless for a moment. She took a deep breath and shook her head desperately.

I don't know, I don't know. I should deal with my uncle, but he treats Youyou, Haohuo, and you... Today again... He did it again, I... I can't do it!

He felt a wave of relief and couldn't help but lower his head to gently kiss her hairline. This was his woman, his little sweetheart!

"Stupid, you've been used!"

She froze suddenly!

What does this mean!

But then I heard him say again, "Jiang Yancheng is going to harm you!"

She raised her head and looked at him in bewilderment.

He touched her small face and calmly analyzed the situation for her.

“If you really listened to Jiang Yancheng and stole the documents from your uncle, if your uncle gets into trouble, you will definitely not escape. Some institutions in the country are not just for decoration; they will definitely find out about you. He, Jiang Yancheng, has worked at the Ministry of Public Security for so many years, he naturally has his skills to clear himself of suspicion, but what about you then How do you escape suspicion Moreover, he specifically asked you to steal documents about the South China Sea. That information is very important. If it falls into Jiang Yancheng's hands, your uncle will definitely be brought down. But, Xiaoguai, you, who stole this document, will bear a much greater charge than your uncle, and it will be infinitely more dangerous for you. Perhaps one moment they find out about you, the next they could take you out and shoot you!”

He tightened his grip, suddenly clamping down on the back of her head, and stared at her sternly.

"Do you know this!"

Lin Meng's eyes, wide with intense fear, blinked rapidly as she shook her head violently.

She never expected this!

Rong Ling let out a cold snort, the lines on his face tightening, transforming into sharp, icy blades. His handsome eyes narrowed, revealing a deep and sinister intent.

"Humph, the Jiang family is trying to kill you. They are truly vicious!"

Lin Meng trembled her lips, mumbling. "No...not..."

But her wandering eyes betrayed her suspicion. For Rong Ling had analyzed the situation correctly, and she couldn't find any reason to refute him.

“Your life was saved by Xiao Lang, but that wasn't his willing choice! The Jiang family is using this to coerce you. Helping them is understandable, it’s human nature. But they want to use you to do dirty things, tarnish your reputation and even threaten your life That's absolutely unacceptable!”

"I..."

Lin Meng gritted her teeth, a chill running through her. Then, she quickly made a decision in her heart.

I called Brother Jiang, and I think he's not that kind of person. Maybe it's just Jiancheng's one-sided idea!

"That's father and son!" Rong Ling coldly identified.

Lin Meng stopped moving and watched him quietly.

He sighed and spoke, defeated by the sorrow and helplessness in her eyes.

"Alright, you go ahead and hit it!"

Lin Meng immediately lowered her head, clutching at her own skirt with her hands, just like a child who had done something wrong.

He found it amusing. His own woman, he wasn't going to have trouble controlling her, nor would he need to bind her tightly and isolate her from everyone else.

"Go and ask for clarification then," he coaxed her back.

She moved her slender fingers, continuing to tug at the hem of her own clothes. Only after he reached out and gently pushed her did she slightly raise her head, her beautiful eyes secretly looking at him, as if anxiously seeking confirmation of his true intentions.

Then he smiled, his tone noticeably warmer this time.

"Go."

Only then did she suddenly raise her head, her face glowing as she looked at him. After nodding curtly at him, she twisted her small waist and went to take out her phone from the handbag beside her.

That's how it was, like a little girl who had finally received permission from her elders.

He rested his hands, fingers lightly propping up his chin, against the edge of the sofa, and gazed at her languidly.

She took her phone, turned around and ran toward him. She sat down on his lap, twisting her waist, and snuggled into his arms. He slightly parted his thighs to let her sit between them, while at the same time, he gently encircled her waist with his arm.

She tilted her head slightly, glanced at him again, as if confirming his attitude one last time, and then dialed the phone number.

"Brother Jiang, it's me, Mengmeng!"

Jiang Chengfeng answered the phone, his heart neither joyful nor sorrowful, with a flicker of anticipation but also an underlying sense of resignation. After all, the news he received was that she had gone back to Rong Ling and remained by his side outside the detention center after he was taken into custody. Finally, they left together once more.

He even got some details: she kissed him while crying, and said she would stay with him forever, going nowhere!

This is a detention center that is creepy, chilling, constricting, and filled with a sense of despair!

And she, so bold, so unrestrained!

He went mad with jealousy, burning with hatred to destroy Rong Ling!

Her love is beyond words.

If you don't let bullying disappear from this world, how could he possibly get into her heart!

"I have a question for you," she said.

He coldly curled the corner of his mouth and said only one word. "Say!"

Because he was carrying too much pressure, and she hit him like that, today he really didn't have any patience for her!

"Your father came to see me yesterday afternoon, you know!"

"I know." He answered very coldly.

"Then your father let me...let me..." Lin Meng hesitated.

But Jiang Chengfeng remained silent, only waiting!

Lin Meng suddenly grabbed Rong Ling's big hand that was resting on her lower abdomen, squeezing it tightly. She told herself, don't be afraid, she still had a man, she still had her own home. So, don't be afraid, ask, just ask.

"Your father told me to steal San Bo's files, preferably about the South China Sea. Do you know anything about this!"

She asked, her pretty face instantly becoming solemn.

With her ears perked and a tight grip on her phone, she could feel the sweat forming on her palms.

She was very nervous, afraid she might hear a disappointing answer!

For a long time, or perhaps not that long, she heard the unique voice of Jiang Chengfeng coming from the receiver. But this time, it carried a faint coldness.

"Got it. Then your decision!"

Lin Meng's disappointment overwhelmed her sadness in an instant. Almost gritting her teeth, she questioned him with reddened eyes.

"Don't you know that I could end up in prison for this, even sentenced to death"

Jiang Chengfeng suddenly frowned and vehemently retorted, "No!"

This is just a test from the father to Lin Meng, to see if she truly wants revenge for Xiao Lang. As for Rong Sanbo's evidence, they already have quite a bit, so they don't need what she brought. They've looked at it and would only burn it with fire. What they value is not the outcome, but the process of her doing this. The father gave her two days, is she spending all that time thinking about these things Doesn't she know how he feels about her! How could he possibly let her die!

"It's not that it won't happen just because you say it won't!" Lin Meng was angry.

He also got angry. "I said no, and I mean no."

And, uncontrollably blurted out, "Are you this cowardly! This is just about stealing a document, where's your sincerity!"

Lin Meng's face changed instantly, her eyes turning red in an instant as she roared angrily.

"I'm not afraid of death, if you want it, I'll give my life back to Ah Lang!"

"What nonsense!" Rong roared angrily, his arm tightening around her waist.

Jiang Cheng immediately bristled like a cat whose fur was standing on end. His hair stood up all over, almost as if it were about to explode.

"Rong Ling is beside you! You told Rong Ling everything!"

He exploded with rage!

This woman, how could she tell Rong Ling!

She betrayed his trust!

He trusted her so much that he told her everything, even though doing so risked jeopardizing the carefully laid plans at home.

But she agreed to him not saying it, yet she said it!

How could she say that!

She betrayed him!

"Lin Meng, you made me -- despair -- to the -- extreme!"

With each syllable, Jiang Chengfeng almost gritted his teeth as he roared. His voice was so loud that through the phone speaker, it clearly reached Rong Ling's ears. He raised an eyebrow, a bloody killing intent flashing in his heart, a frost settling on his face.

"The river rides the wind, don't come to scare my woman!"

Seizing the phone from Lin Meng's hand, Rong Ling opened his mouth with a sinister smile.

"Don't just because Jiang Po Lang saved Meng Meng's life, you treat her as a beast of burden!"

“Damn it!” Jiang Chengfeng’s eyes were blazing with fury. “Don’t get cocky, I won’t let you get away with this!”

This has completely blown things up.

Rong Ling sneered, wildly accepting the challenge. "Come on then, show me what you've got!"

Lin Meng, who had been shaken by Jiang Chengfeng's words, immediately became flustered upon hearing this. She reached out her hand to take the phone from Rong Ling's grasp.

Rong Ling didn't give Lin Meng a chance to continue talking to Jiang Chengfeng, quickly and decisively ending the call!

Lin Meng snatched the phone and saw that it had already been hung up. She was anxious and grabbed Rong Ling's arm, urging him, "Don't fight with Big Brother Jiang, you two don't fight, please don't..."

Then he hastily wanted to make a phone call. Rong Ling reached out and stopped him.

"Even after all this, you still gave him a call!" His tone was full of displeasure.

"I can't let the two of you fight," she stated firmly.

He rudely burst her unrealistic bubble. "That's absolutely impossible. He and I are definitely going to fight. The game has already begun, and he started it!"

Lin Meng gasped in fright, her narrow eyes filled with panic. Her little face was also covered with a look of distress.

He couldn't bear it after seeing it.

"Don't like that." He took in a chill, gently stroking her little face and soothing her. "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid..."

But the expression on her face gradually shifted into one of sorrow, a helpless, unyielding, inescapable sorrow!

He frowned, his face coming closer, pressing against hers, so close. His monstrous eyes stared deep into her.

“I know, you still can’t let go of your feelings for Jiang Po Lang, and you’re still grateful to the Jiang family. But Xiaoguai, I don’t owe him or the Jiang family anything”—he said, kissing her hard—“But the Jiang family wants to deal with me, and I can’t just sit back and wait!”

The expression on Lin Meng's face grew increasingly sorrowful.

He understood her dilemma, but she was his woman and she would always stand by his side. He doubled down!

"Little one, do you remember when we were in America, I almost got shot!"

Lin Meng's pupils shrank suddenly. With her intelligence, how could she not understand what Rong Ling was referring to at this moment

She shook her head, timidly wanting him not to say it out loud.

But, he wouldn't allow her to be timid.

“They are Jiang’s family, Jiang Yancheng and Jiang Chengfeng who drank it. Although I don’t have 100% evidence, everything I can find points to this father and son! Also, you remember that man could have shot, but when he saw you, he fired a shot into the ceiling instead. Do you remember!”

Lin Meng nodded heavily. This scene was so profound that it would definitely be something she would never forget in her life!

"What do you think the reason is!"

She closed her eyes bitterly, a few tears welling up at the corners. They lingered there, poised between falling and staying put, just like her own wavering heart. The more she knew, the more she felt trapped like a helpless insect in a spider web. The harder she struggled, the tighter the web ensnared her until she was left with no strength to fight, only waiting for the final judgment of death!

"I was shot before, on New Year's Eve that night, but I didn't tell you!"

She suddenly clutched his hand tightly, very tightly.

"Several times, if I hadn't been lucky, I probably would have been killed already!"

She was so scared that her face turned pale. Her poor little hands trembled uncontrollably!

He fell silent, giving her time to slowly process his heavy words.

After a long time, she apologized, carrying the weight of deep fatigue.

"I'm sorry, Rong Ling, I seem to have... dragged you down!"

"Don't talk nonsense!" he immediately scolded her. This wasn't what he wanted to hear. "You are my wife, don't talk about being a burden or not. That's foolish!"

She smiled softly, but it was a faint smile, still bitter. This bitterness was like an invisible finger, tugging at his heartstrings. He looked at her slender neck, where even with the best anti-inflammatory ointment, faint traces of finger marks remained, and his cold heart began to waver.

He dragged her down, and he was still at it!

She has narrowly escaped death several times because of him. That's enough!

His woman should be able to smile happily from now on!

"Little darling, listen to me!"

He cupped her face.

For you, as long as the Jiang family doesn't go too far, I can endure him, let him, avoid him, allow him, respect him, or ignore him!

Tears of emotion welled up in Lin Meng's eyes.

She knew men's arrogant nature well, they never allowed anyone to step on their heads. His words were beyond her expectation, touching and surprising. It also made her realize how difficult his life must have been.

For her, this is what he endures!

He was never a man who could “bear it”!

Rong Ling kissed her again, reaffirming. "For you!" on Lin Meng. But now, with no one daring to touch Lin Meng, even if Rong Ling gave up on her, Lin Bao couldn't expect to gain anything else from her. Therefore, he had to cling tightly to Rong Ling's...
