Here is the translation:
Actually, Hong Jiaxin was still angry, but after hearing Luo Yang say he could save her parents, she suppressed her rage and temporarily called a truce with him.
Luo Yang gently stroked Hong Jiaxin's soft back, as if to comfort her.
In truth, he hadn't yet thought of a way to rescue the Hong Zhong couple.
For now, to make Hong Jiaxin obedient, he had no choice but to coax her with a benevolent lie.
In fact, Luo Yang felt that even if he found the Hong Zhong couple, it would be difficult to bring them away.
From the tone in the phone call, Luo Yang vaguely sensed that if the Hong Zhong couple wanted to leave, no one would necessarily stop them.
Their situation seemed more like a soft imprisonment rather than a complete loss of personal freedom akin to kidnapping.
As for the reason behind it, Luo Yang couldn't figure it out either.
All this time, Luo Yang had been pondering the reasons for the Hong Zhong couple's disappearance.
