Chapter 153 Being threatened
Lin Xingran took a deep breath, her voice as hoarse as an ancient zither string eroded by time, and it sounded with difficulty in this silent cave: "What's the point of you telling me this?"
"Huo Yan took away everything that belonged to you. Aren't you angry at all?" The mysterious man's voice was as cold as the chill wind blowing from the abyss of the underworld, carrying with it a bone-chilling chill and irresistible temptation.
Every word he spoke was like a sharp ice knife, piercing straight into Lin Xingran's heart.
The low voice echoed faintly in the cave, hitting the cold stone wall and bouncing back, forming a creepy echo.
"The Huo's Jewelry should have been yours, and his hundreds of billions of assets should have been yours too. But what happened now? He just took a villa and sent you away. Don't you feel angry at all?"
The mysterious man's words were like surging waves, one higher than the other, impacting Lin Xingran's mental defenses. His eyes flashed with greed and resentment, and that light seemed particularly eerie and terrifying in the dim cave.
Lin Xingran's expression remained as cold as ice in the cold night, without the slightest change. Her eyes were cold and firm, like an unshakable iceberg, and she said coldly, "I'm not short of money, so don't try to sow discord between us."
However, her heart was not as calm as it seemed on the surface. Her thoughts were like silk threads blown by the wind, intertwined and entangled.
The mysterious man did not give up because of Lin Xingran's refusal. His eyes flashed with strange light, like a poisonous snake waiting for an opportunity in the darkness.
"You are not short of money, but what about your best friend Qiao Qin? You have both been played around by him before, don't you want revenge?"
His voice was full of malice and incitement, as if to completely ignite the anger deep in Lin Xingran's heart.
In the cave, the burning fire made crackling sounds, and the jumping flames were like naughty elves, trying hard to break free from their restraints.
The orange flames flickered in the darkness, lengthening and shortening the figures of the two people, projecting them onto the stone wall, forming twisted and strange shapes. Sparks flew everywhere, like a falling meteor in the night sky, disappearing in an instant.
The mysterious man's excited and strange laughter echoed in the cave, as if countless invisible hands were tightly strangling Lin Xingran's throat. Every laugh was like a sharp knife, ruthlessly cutting through her soul, making her feel endless fear and disgust.
"Take away everything from him and leave him with nothing. This is the best way to take revenge."
The mysterious man's words were like a curse, drilling into Lin Xingran's ears word by word, deeply hurting her nerves. His expression was distorted, and his eyes revealed a crazy desire, as if he had already seen Huo Yan's miserable appearance.
Lin Xingran frowned slightly, with disapproval written all over his eyes.
Her gaze was like cold lake water, calm and yet bottomless. However, she knew very well that she couldn't provoke this crazy person in front of her, so she chose to remain silent.
Lin Xingran clenched her hands unconsciously, her nails digging deeply into her palms, causing a slight pain but also making her mind clearer.
There was a moment of silence, and the atmosphere in the cave seemed to freeze. Time seemed to stop at this moment, with only the sound of the burning fire and the heavy breathing of the mysterious man intertwined.
The mysterious man gradually returned to normal. He slowly reached out his hand and gently stroked Lin Xingran's cheek. The cold touch made her tremble all over, and fear and terror surged into her heart again like a flood.
She wanted to dodge, but found herself as if bound by an invisible force and unable to move.
"Be good and do what I say, otherwise..." The mysterious man glanced at Lin Xingran's lower abdomen. His eyes were meaningful. Although he didn't say anything, the threat was self-evident.
The corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a sinister smile that made people shudder.
Lin Xingran covered her stomach with trembling hands, as if protecting the most precious treasure in the world. With a pleading look in her eyes, she whispered, "What do you want me to do?"
There was a tremor in her voice, which was the fear of the unknown and the worry about her child.
"It's very simple. Go to Huo Yan's office and help me steal something." The mysterious man's voice was low and hoarse, as if he was telling a secret that could not be told.
His eyes were fixed on Lin Xingran, not missing any slight change in expression on her face.
Lin Xingran nodded without hesitation. Her idea was very simple. She wanted to calm the person in front of her first, and then after she saved the child and escaped, it would be her business as to what to do next.
There was a gleam of determination in her eyes, the determination to protect her child and herself.
However, the mysterious man suddenly took out his mobile phone and pressed the play button.
The recording contained the voices of two people, including Huo Yan's life experience and the conspiracy just now. The voice echoed in the cave, as if it was a judgment on Lin Xingran. Every word was clearly audible, like a heavy hammer hitting her heart.
"Don't try to play tricks on me. If you don't do as I say, this recording will be posted online. Do you think Huo Yan will believe what you say? Or will he think you are too threatening and get rid of you himself?"
The mysterious man's words were like a heavy hammer, hitting Lin Xingran's heart again and again. His expression was smug and ferocious, as if he had already taken control of everything.
"Don't think it's impossible. You know better than me what kind of person he is. He will do anything to achieve his goals. Hahahaha, I'm kind of looking forward to the scene where you guys kill each other."
The mysterious man's laughter echoed in the cave, hoarse and unpleasant, like the devil's laughter. The laughter was full of madness and twisted pleasure, which made people shudder.
The hoarse and unpleasant laughter echoed in the cave, and every note was like a sharp thorn, piercing Lin Xingran's heart. Her face was as pale as paper, and her body trembled involuntarily, as if she was in a world of ice and snow.
madman!
This is a lunatic!
Lin Xingran's heart suddenly sank to the bottom of the valley. Her whole body was shaking. A chill spread from the soles of her feet to her whole body, as if to freeze her blood.
She clenched her teeth and tried to keep herself calm.
She regretted it, regretted her momentary curiosity, regretted running to this place and putting herself in such danger.
Lin Xingran looked at the crazy man in front of her, her heart filled with despair and self-blame.
