Rebirth: What to do if you fall into a wolf's den

Rong Xiao looked at Lu Nanxu's receding back, and an indescribable panic surged in his heart. He suddenly realized that he might really be abandoned in this seemingly gorgeous but actually cold cage.

A mixture of unwillingness and anger surged in his heart, and he shouted almost subconsciously.

"Lu Nanxu, come back! Let me go immediately!"

However, the only response he got was the echo of the empty hall and the occasional sound of wind blowing past the window. It was as if Lu Nanxu had never existed, disappearing without a trace, leaving no trace, and no response.

Rong Xiao's voice echoed in the empty dark hall and eventually turned into a helpless sigh.

He stood there, clenching his hands into fists, his nails digging deep into his palms, but he didn't feel any pain. Time seemed to slow down at this moment, and every second seemed like torture.

Rong Xiao looked around, hoping to find a clue of escape, but there was nothing except those cold decorations.

"Why? Why do you do this to me?"

Rong Xiao whispered to himself, his voice full of confusion and anger. He couldn't understand Lu Nanxu's intentions, and couldn't accept the reality that he was trapped here. But reality was cruel, and he had to face it.

As time went by, Rong Xiao's anxiety gradually escalated. He began to pace back and forth, trying to relieve his inner anxiety with physical movement.

He kept banging on the wall and calling Lu Nanxu's name, but the only response he got was a heavier silence.

"Lu Nanxu, what do you want? If you have any purpose, just say it! Don't torture me like this!"

There was a hint of despair in Rong Xiao's voice. He knew that he might be being used as a chess piece, struggling in some unknown chess game.

However, no matter how he shouted or struggled, no one paid any attention to him. He was still the only one in the hall, lonely and desperate. As time passed, Rong Xiao's physical strength gradually depleted, but he still did not give up hope.

The moment Lu Nanxu stepped out of the dark hall, the night seemed to darken. His steps were steady, with a barely perceptible hint of fatigue, but he could not hide the determination in his eyes.

His steady footsteps echoed in the stairwell until he pushed open the door of the monitoring room, and a tense and solemn atmosphere greeted him.

In the monitoring room, Xin Mujing, Helian Minxiao and Zheng Haoqian were staring at the screen, their expressions revealing different emotions.

Lu Nanxu's arrival instantly focused their attention.

"How is it? Did he explain what happened with Yin Zhiyang?"

Zheng Haoqian spoke first, with a hint of urgency in his tone, as if this question had been weighing on his mind for a long time.

Lu Nanxu shook his head gently, a complex emotion flashing across his brows.

"This guy is very stubborn and extremely cautious in his thinking. It is much more difficult than imagined to get useful information from him." His words showed both recognition of Rong Xiao and a hint of helplessness.

Helian Minxiao's eyes flashed with a sharp light when he heard this. He recalled Rong Xiao's deeds in Europe, especially the brilliant layout of the O'Reilly family, and he couldn't help but feel an urge to compete with him.

"I'll go meet this person." He stood up, his tone revealing unquestionable determination.

As he spoke, he walked to the monitor, and the scene in the dark hall was clearly reflected on the screen.

Rong Xiao was seen sitting in the corner, looking haggard. Although there was still a hint of stubbornness in his eyes, that persistence seemed a little shaky, and he was obviously on the verge of a mental breakdown.

Helian Minxiao stared at Rong Xiao on the screen, a faint smile appearing on the corner of his mouth. That smile showed both respect for his opponent and anticipation for the upcoming contest.

"Rong Xiao, you are a prominent figure in Europe now. I want to see how long you can last."

He turned to Lu Nanxu and the others and said, "You guys continue to monitor, I'll go down and talk to him."

After saying that, Helian Minxiao strode out of the monitoring room, leaving Lu Nanxu, Xin Mujing and Zheng Haoqian looking at each other, each of them filled with expectations and speculations about how events would develop next.

The crisp sound of leather shoes echoed on the spacious and cold marble floor, and each step was accompanied by an irresistible majesty. When the footsteps finally stopped in front of Rong Xiao, the air seemed to freeze, leaving only the subtle tension between the two.

Helian Minxiao stood there, his posture upright, like a sculpture, his thin lips slightly opened, his voice low and magnetic.

"Are you willing to tell me?"

His words were brief and powerful, revealing an unquestionable determination.

He elegantly took out a cigarette and gently held it between his fingers. With a "click" of the lighter, the flame jumped up and lit the tobacco. The smoke then rose up and swirled around him, adding a bit of mystery and indifference to him.

He looked at the person in front of him indifferently, his deep eyes seemed to be able to see into people's hearts.

Rong Xiao slowly raised his eyes, and his gaze met Helian Minxiao's. He couldn't help but tremble slightly in his heart. He didn't expect that after Lu Nanxu, Helian Minxiao would go into battle personally.

He raised a wry smile and spoke.

"Why, Young Master Lu didn't get what he wanted from Rong Mou, so now it's Young Master Helian's turn? Then who will it be next, Young Master Xin or Young Master Zheng?" There was a hint of sarcasm and helplessness in his tone, as if he was tired of such repeated interrogations.

Helian Minxiao's mouth slightly raised when he heard this, but there was no warmth in that smile. He knew Rong Xiao's cunning and caution, so he didn't intend to continue beating around the bush with him.

He said directly: "Since Mr. Rong Xiao is unwilling to talk about his relationship with Yin Zhiyang, then let's talk about what you had someone put into the O'Reilly family!"

After hearing this, Rong Xiao's face suddenly changed, and he looked at Helian Minxiao in shock. He never expected that Helian Minxiao even knew about this.

He tried to calm his inner panic and remained calm: "How did you know?"

Helian Minxiao chuckled, and that smile showed both satisfaction with Rong Xiao's shock and confidence in his own abilities.

"You don't need to know how I know this, but you should be familiar with this thing, right?"

As he spoke, he took out a bag from his pocket and threw it in front of Rong Xiao without any hesitation.

The bag fell to the ground with a dull sound, breaking the silence in the room.

Rong Xiao opened the bag slowly with shaking hands, revealing the evidence he had carefully planned and thought was flawless - things that were enough to subvert the O'Reilly family. His face turned pale as paper in an instant, and his eyes were full of disbelief.

"This... How is this possible? How come it is here with you?"

Rong Xiao muttered to himself, his voice full of despair and unwillingness. He looked up at Helian Minxiao, trying to find a flaw in his eyes, but he only saw endless indifference and depth.

Helian Minxiao looked at Rong Xiao indifferently, as if everything was within his expectations.

"Mr. Rong Xiao, in this world, nothing can be hidden forever. And you are no exception."

His voice was calm and powerful, and every word was like a heavy hammer, striking Rong Xiao's heart.

Rong Xiao was silent for a long time, finally slowly lowered his head and closed his eyes resigned to his fate.
