Chapter 908: You Are My Person Now

Countless terrifying thoughts flashed through her mind in an instant.

Cai Xiaotang stared blankly at the eyes mere inches away, having already imagined countless outcomes in her heart. Of course, she was not foolish enough to think the other party truly had any feelings for her.

But... since he had said it like that...

What if she really put on a tacky and infatuated act?

Would he think she was throwing herself at him... and just discard her?

That would be even more of a loss than a gain!

How exactly could she ensure her own safety to the greatest extent?

Just as Cai Xiaotang was thinking this, she heard him urge in a low voice: "What is it? Unwilling?"

"I..."

There was simply not that much time to think; Cai Xiaotang could not deliberate any further and could only follow her intuition to ask along with his words: "Are there any benefits to being your person?"

"Benefits?"

Linke's gaze paused slightly, as if he had not expected her to say that.

Then, he suddenly laughed out loud.

"Being with me, the benefits are naturally too many to count. The most important one... is that I can help you get rid of that scumbag. Don't you want to see it?"

He deliberately steered the topic back to Li Xiao.

Cai Xiaotang knew he was doing it on purpose.

But since the words had already been spoken, she could only bite the bullet and continue.

"Of course I do."

She replied with a straight face, her body swaying uncontrollably.

Her physical strength was reaching its limit.

Under high-intensity tension, the last string pulling at her nerves was about to snap.

Immediately after, she saw the person in front of her reveal that uncomfortable smile again.

"Alright, then it's settled."

Linke's tone was incredibly casual.

As he spoke, he actually closed the distance between them once more!

"From now on, you... are my person."

As he said this, he leaned in slowly, seemingly wanting to touch the corner of Cai Xiaotang's lips with his own.

His eyes were also fixed directly on hers, full of probing and provocation.

Cai Xiaotang's breathing even stopped.

Nothing remained in her mind but refusal.

No...

She did not want to be kissed by a man she didn't know!

But... but...

Cai Xiaotang's brain was a mess, and feeling that the other party truly had no intention of stopping, a flash of inspiration suddenly struck, and she jerked her head away!

"Achoo!!!"

She let out a huge sneeze.

From the corner of her eye, she saw the person mere inches away indeed stop his movements.

Taking advantage of the moment he didn't speak, Cai Xiaotang hurriedly said: "I have a cold, I've been running a fever for the past two days. If you don't want... to be infected by me, you had better not touch me..."

By the time she finished speaking, she had no strength left.

Her vision began to flicker between light and dark, her ears were buzzing, and she had no extra energy to think about anything else.

So uncomfortable...

She felt like... she really couldn't hold on much longer.

The last scene before her eyes seemed to be the man in front of her saying something.

But Cai Xiaotang did not hear a single word clearly; finally unable to hold on any longer, her head tilted, and she fainted directly.

Two hours later—she woke up groggily on a large bed.

The sight of the snow-white ceiling and an environment that was no longer dim made her freeze for a moment, unable to react for a while.

Where...

was she?

Could it be that while she was unconscious... Li Xiao had already rescued her?

A surge of wild joy erupted in the depths of Cai Xiaotang's heart!

She then sat up from the bed abruptly!

Immediately after, she felt a sudden wave of dizziness!

"Ugh..."

She let out a soft groan of discomfort, only then realizing that the surrounding environment was unfamiliar.

But she was indeed no longer in the previous basement, but had been moved to a bright room.

Looking out from the window, there was a strange lake.

And a glaring lock on the railing outside the window.

No...

She was still in the hands of that psycho man.

Was it because she fainted that he had a sudden burst of kindness and placed her in a room?

Cai Xiaotang instantly became guarded, not quite understanding the intention behind the other party doing this.

What is this supposed to be?

Treating a captive well?

Just as she was thinking this, she heard the door behind her suddenly being opened by someone!

Cai Xiaotang turned around immediately, and sure enough, she saw that familiar fox mask again!

There were still people standing on both sides outside the door, all holding weapons in their hands.

One look was enough to know they were deliberately posted here to guard her.

"Awake?"

Linke was very satisfied with Cai Xiaotang's terrified and bewildered appearance; as he spoke, he beckoned toward the outside of the door.

Immediately after, a man also wearing a mask walked in from outside.

He was carrying a tray in his hands.

Cai Xiaotang looked over subconsciously.

Then she saw that there was actually food and medicine placed on it!

She widened her eyes abruptly and did not speak.

Linke, however, said calmly, "You had a fever just now; you can eat the food and take the medicine yourself, right?"

Cai Xiaotang subconsciously gripped the bedsheet beneath her tightly and looked at the tray hesitantly.

This person... could he really be this kind-hearted?

Could it be that he poisoned the food, or perhaps it was some kind of drug that could control her?

As Cai Xiaotang thought this, her nose keenly caught the aroma of the food.

Her stomach, which had not had any food for nearly a whole day, let out a soft growl uncooperatively, sounding exceptionally loud in the room.

Cai Xiaotang: "..."

Could it get any more embarrassing?

Her stomach was just too shameful!

The next second— "Heh..."

Linke suddenly let out a scoff and took two steps forward.

"So guarded against me? Aren't you already my person? What?

Afraid I've poisoned it?"

Upon hearing this, Cai Xiaotang was instantly choked up, rendered speechless by his words.

His... his person?

She had thought he was just deliberately toying with her before...

Could it be that he was for real?

How could this be possible?

"I..."

Cai Xiaotang still dared not trust the person before her, and even less dared to eat anything he gave her.

But then she heard the other party suddenly continue in a slow, leisurely manner: "You fainted suddenly just now, so I didn't have time to tell you my rules. As for me, I only like people who are obedient. As long as you are obedient, everything is easy to discuss. If you are not obedient... then according to my rules, for a first offense, it is usually to cut off a finger..."

"I'll eat!!!"

Cai Xiaotang made her choice immediately without waiting for him to finish speaking.

This person must be a psychopath!

Cutting off a finger if she doesn't eat!

What kind of crappy rules are those!

He really is sick!

He is the one who is truly a gangster!

Her eyes were filled with complex emotions of fear, unwillingness, and anger, yet she had nowhere to vent them.

Linke, however, was extremely satisfied and tilted his chin toward Cai Xiaotang's direction: "Take it over to her."

The man holding the tray, however, did not move.

"Sir, you..."

He looked at Linke hesitantly, stopping mid-sentence.

"Hmm?"

Linke responded with a sound.

With just that short syllable, the man immediately lowered his head and carried the tray over according to his wishes.

Cai Xiaotang glanced at it subconsciously.

Only then did she discover that there were cold medicine and fever-reducing medicine all complete, and the food also looked like it had just been made, still steaming.

If she didn't know she had been kidnapped, she would have almost suspected whether she had encountered some "kind-hearted person"!

But...

This psychopath must have his own agenda!

She must be careful at all times!

Cai Xiaotang stared at the food, somewhat lost in thought.

The next second— "Why aren't you eating? Are you waiting for me to feed you?"
