Manipulate My Heart [操纵我心] [GL]

Chapter 11

"Bohan, I don't think this is as impossible as you do." Shao Xinyan stroked her chin, standing up and pressing her palms against each other in deep thought. "After all, anything is possible. Technology has developed pretty far today..."

"You just said that Chen Guanzong was a member of the ethics committee. What if he was opposed to this? What if he didn't agree with controlling someone's body? But that doesn't make sense. That was a big business conference. It'd have been hard to deceive everyone. There were so many reporters at the scene."

"......"

"..."

Shao Xinyan furrowed her eyebrows, silent. Her mind was going a hundred miles an hour. It was a mess.

Finally, she said, "The weekly news never mentioned what medical project was being invested in."

"Only the attendees would know. The weekly news only mentioned that this conference had happened. They typically won't go into detail."

"Why don't we pay Chen Guanzong's home a visit?"

Shao Xinyan suddenly turned around as she posed the question. Zhou Bohan was a bit taken aback at this, and he stared blankly at Shao Xinyan.

"Huh? But the guy is a millionaire... How are we supposed to get in?"

"As cops. You haven't been suspended. Apply for a search warrant and have Li Hao inform the officers in Z City. We'll drive over," Shao Xinyan explained. "Chen Guanzong must have something that'll help us. We have to investigate before things cool off."

"Who the hell would be able to stand this suffocating kind of love?! Isabella, you're in no place to discuss anything about love. You don't even know what love is!"

"Then help me understand." Isabella propped her head up with her slender hand, staring at Zhuo Shixue with those affectionate eyes and coquettishly continuing, "I'm willing to learn from you."

"You..."

Zhuo Shixue didn't know how to react to this flirtatious response. Isabella seemed to enjoy her helpless look and how she'd tied herself up. She lowered her head and glanced at her Rolex watch. It was getting late.

There was no rush.

"I'll take you home. It's late."

"No! If I get into your car, you'll take me back to your place..." Zhuo Shixue said accusingly. "It'll be like every other time I've escaped from you."

"I've never punished you, Xiao-xue. I just want to bring you home."

"You've never punished me?" Zhuo Shixue didn't understand how this woman could just lie so smoothly. "You—"

"Say it. What did I do to you?" Isabella smiled deviously. She knew that Zhuo Shixue wouldn't dare expose their affairs in such a public setting.

Zhuo Shixue's face flushed red. She wanted to lay it all out in front of everyone; she wanted to tell everyone that this woman was a demon. Call the police! Arrest her!

What had she done? Every time Zhuo Shixue had run away, Isabella would comfort her, promising never to act like that again, she really wouldn't! Zhuo Shixue had believed her. The minute they got home, Isabella would fuck her and lock her in the room until she was ready to go mad. Then she would reward her, brainwash her, and punish her, all until she lost control of herself.

She had almost gone insane from it all. Her mind was barely there.

She'd run away for three years this time. She wasn't sure what would happen if Isabella recaptured her.
