Chapter 875: Not convinced? Kill him (95)
Zhong Fanle heard the hidden meaning in her words, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, revealing a half-smile. He continued, "My cat, I will naturally cherish and protect it. But since it has chosen me as its owner, it should stay by my side and not show any disobedience. If it wants freedom, wants to play, or even wants to leave my side, it must first obtain my permission."
Having said this, Zhong Fanle paused for a moment, then continued in a cold but firm tone, "Otherwise, this cat would be of no use to me, and keeping it would be redundant."
Xing Rong stared at Zhong Fanle, giving him a serious look, as if trying to discern more from his eyes. After a moment, she slowly spoke, "Actually, have you ever considered that this kitten might not consider you its master, but rather its companion?"
"After all, even if you have absolute power over it, it doesn't mean you are superior to it."
Zhong Fanle's smile vanished upon hearing this, replaced by a look of disdain. He raised his chin proudly and retorted, "A master is a master, and a pet is a pet. Whether human or animal, everyone should clearly understand their own identity and status."
Seeing him say this, Xing Rong didn't say anything else.
Zhong Fanle's men had already searched every corner of the room, but couldn't find what they were looking for. They looked at each other, then returned to Zhong Fanle's side.
Before leaving, Zhong Fanle specifically instructed Xingrong's housekeeper to take good care of Miss Xue and stressed that if anything happened, he must report it to him immediately. As soon as he finished speaking, he led his men away.
Although the housekeeper didn't know what was going on, she still obeyed Zhong Fanle's orders. So, after Xing Rong finished his meal, the housekeeper still stood quietly by the side, with no intention of leaving.
Xing Rong noticed the housekeeper standing there, her eyes flickering slightly. She said to him gently, "Go and have a rest. I'll call you if I need anything."
Upon hearing this, the housekeeper immediately declined politely, "No need, Miss Xue. Mr. Zhong has instructed me to take good care of you. I'm here, so you can ask me to do anything more conveniently."
Seeing this, Xing Rong smiled helplessly, "But I want to rest now. You can't stand here forever, right?" As he spoke, Xing Rong's gaze slowly moved down and landed on his legs that could not move.
In an instant, her eyes dimmed, revealing endless dejection and sadness. She smiled self-deprecatingly, "I'm just a cripple, and this wheelchair is just an ordinary one. Even if I want to go out for a walk, I still need you to help push me. Otherwise, my range of movement is limited to the size of this room."
The housekeeper was flustered by Xing Rong's words. After thinking about it, she felt that what Xing Rong said made sense. After all, there were surveillance cameras everywhere outside. As a big target like her, she would definitely be discovered as soon as she left the house.
So the housekeeper said nothing more, turned around and left silently, closing the door.
The moment the housekeeper left, the emotion in Xing'an's eyes seemed to be blown away by the wind, vanishing without a trace in the blink of an eye. Her face quickly returned to calm, even with a hint of indifference, as if nothing had happened.
Xing Rong turned her wheelchair so that it faced the balcony. She stared quietly at the turbulent sea outside the window. The waves kept rolling, sometimes rising high into the sky, and sometimes violently crashing against the side of the ship, making bursts of dull sounds.
Xing Rong's gaze moved with the rise and fall of the waves. She seemed to be able to feel the tense undercurrent on the ship from the surging sea water.
Since the head chef has become someone else's "dish", it means that she is definitely not the only doctor on the ship who can perform organ transplant surgery, and Zhong Fanle is probably not the only patient who needs a transplant surgery.
So……
Xing Rong: Xiaowei, do you know where this ship’s destination is?
Xiaowei: I don't know. Zhong Fanle always mentions that place, but he never says where it is. I just know it's an island. And you're on the high seas now!
