Rong Shaoze was a trouble that nobody dared to provoke.
Nobody would intentionally antagonize him; everyone avoided him like the plague. She was too foolish, actually believing his words and making a transaction with him.
From then on, she no longer had any choices to speak of. Because she was nothing but a puppet in Rong Shaoze's hands, and if he became unhappy, a simple snip of the strings would destroy her.
"Then tell me, what exactly do I have to do for you to let me go?" Would her surrender suffice?
Twenty years in prison, she couldn't handle that. Her child, during those twenty years, couldn't be without a mother.
And her own mother, she couldn't be left uncared for either…
Rong Shaoze was a bit surprised at her compromise, but more satisfied.
