You Mingxu was shaken. She bit her lower lip and said, "Yin Feng, stop this madness. Your actions are criminal. Let me go before things become irreparable. Do you hear me!"
Yin Feng seemed not to have heard her; his deep black eyes stared at her, and slowly started to smile. He said, "Axu, you now know my deepest secret. I need to know, are you still willing to go along with me?"
You Mingxu remained silent.
She watched as the light in Yin Feng's eyes gradually dimmed.
"So, I still… don't have what I want?" he said softly. "In all these thirty years, nothing I've yearned for has ever been mine."
With that, he stood up to leave.
You Mingxu said, "Stop right there!"
He paused.
You Mingxu said, "How long are you planning on keeping me here? Yin Feng, stop digging yourself deeper! Stop straying further! If you let me go now, I promise you... I won't press charges. Let this whole matter go to rest. But if you keep holding me captive, there genuinely will be no turning back!"
