"Mom, don't worry." Bai Xiaoye reassured Zuo Lengyue. She knew what she should do now. "I know that you want to protect Xu Yun because he is the man you love, and I will protect him because he is my brother. No matter whether I acknowledge him as my father or not, I will always acknowledge that Xu Yun is my brother. I will not watch him walk into the fire pit. "
Zuo Lengyue drank the last of the bourbon in the glass. The stone in her heart was finally lifted. With Xiaoye looking after Xu Yun, she was more than a little relieved. Coupled with her secret protection, she believed that they would be able to stop Xu Yun from doing something crazy. As long as Xu Yun did not do anything stupid, she would not regret letting Lin Yonghe go.
It was already very late. Zuo Lengyue was exhausted from the mental pressure and mental struggle of the day. Although Bai Xiaoye liked the current atmosphere, she still asked the waiter to take away the whiskey that was less than a third and personally led Zuo Lengyue to the room that had been arranged.
After returning to the hotel room, Bai Xiaoye poured a cup of hot water for Zuo Lengyue. "Mom, it's late. You should rest early. I will leave first. Tomorrow, I will have a good talk with Xu Yun and try my best to eliminate his dangerous thoughts. If he doesn't have such thoughts, we can be at ease earlier. "
"Xiaoye …" Zuo Lengyue nodded and slowly changed the topic. "Can you not leave tonight? Do you remember when we were young? You and Xiaoqiao always pestered me to sleep with you … "Zuo Lengyue felt a little sad when she thought of that time. At that time, Xiaoye could only call her master like Xiaoqiao, and she was so strict with them.
Now that she thought about it, Zuo Lengyue felt that she really should not have done that. She really wanted to make it up to Xiaoye. Xiaoye was so young back then. Every time she wanted her to sleep with her, she would be sternly rejected. Zuo Lengyue did not dare to imagine what Xiaoye's mental state was like back then.
However, Bai Xiaoye was no longer the little girl who needed a warm hug and motherly love. She was now an adult. She could no longer remember the last time she asked for a hug from the only elder in front of her. To be honest, she really didn't need it anymore. However, Bai Xiaoye didn't have the heart to refuse. Although she didn't need it anymore, she knew that Zuo Lengyue, her master, and her mother needed it …
"Alright, let's talk for a while." Bai Xiaoye agreed easily. "Then I'll go prepare the bath for you first. You've been working hard all day. Drink some water and rest well."
Zuo Lengyue felt her nose turn sour in an instant. She held back the tears that were about to burst out of her eyes and nodded heavily. The sensible daughter in her eyes had really grown up and was much more mature than she had imagined. That kind of relief was something that she could only experience as a mother.
…
Although the relationship between Zuo Lengyue and Bai Xiaoye had eased a lot, Zuo Lengyue still had to leave the next day. She didn't want her existence to disturb Xu Yun or Bai Xiaoye's lives. They were already adults and should have their own lives and their own circles.
Many times, all parents would have a headache when their children grew up. They felt that their children were rebellious and didn't listen to their words or do things according to their instructions. In fact, it wasn't that their children were rebellious. The word "rebellious" was only suitable for parents.
In fact, this so-called rebellion was a kind of growth and a sign of maturity. Everyone would have their own thoughts and judgment when they matured. They would learn to use their own actions to take responsibility for their own lives.
When a person started to pursue their own life, started to have their own dreams and ideals, and then did what they thought they should do, it wasn't that they were rebellious, but that they had grown up.
On this point, all parents in the world were contradictory. They wanted their children to grow up and mature, but they also didn't want them to rebel and not listen to their arrangements.
However, who would know that the price of growing up was the so-called "disobedience"?
Humans were subjective animals. Humans could rule all the creatures in the world. They could lock lions and tigers in zoos for them to admire. It wasn't just because humans were intelligent animals. Another reason was that humans were subjective animals. Everyone would be used to standing in their own point of view to view the world.
Therefore, humans could rule everything. People's thoughts couldn't be forced. This was also the reason why there was no right or wrong in many things. Different people would have different approaches to a matter! It was a very normal phenomenon to seek common ground while reserving differences, especially between parents and children.
Some parents would blame their children for never wanting to communicate with them, but they had never thought about it. Was it because they didn't communicate with their children from the beginning? Or was it because every communication was just a disguised order that caused their children to alienate themselves and stop communicating with them?
Zuo Lengyue didn't educate Bai Xiaoye as a mother, but as a master, she had done everything right. She had always respected Bai Xiaoye's thoughts. Even if her thoughts were wrong, she would let her run into a wall and learn to grow up in adversity. This might be the only thing that Zuo Lengyue felt she didn't need to regret in her life.
Therefore, Zuo Lengyue would still give Bai Xiaoye all the space that belonged to her. What she needed to do was to watch her silently. When Bai Xiaoye needed help, she would still rush out regardless of anything. It wasn't to make up for her, but because she was a mother.
That's right. Every mother in the world was great. Even if a mother had made a mistake that could never be made up for, she was still great.
After seeing Zuo Lengyue off, Bai Xiaoye went to find Xu Yun at once. She needed to talk to Xu Yun frankly. As a younger sister, she needed to talk about their father. Only by doing this could she stop Xu Yun's heart from flying to the Important Criminals Prison on Martifran Island.
… …
Xu Yun's heart had indeed flown away. Since he got the confirmation from Lin Yonghe, his mind was full of questions about the Important Criminals Prison on Martifran Island. It was a place of no return. But if you were an ordinary person, you wouldn't be able to go there even if you wanted to.
Now, although Xu Yun wanted to go to the Important Criminals Prison on Martifran Island to investigate, he didn't even know where Martifran Island was. This isolated island without any coordinates in the Pacific Ocean was a place that didn't exist in the eyes of ordinary people in this world.
Xu Yun now needed someone to tell him the coordinates of Martifran Island. There must be someone who knew this place. And Xu Yun knew a lot of people who knew him. Among the people he knew, there must be many who knew. Wan Kuangxiao must know, Wang Yi might know, Zuo Lengyue must know, and Huangfu Guo might also know. Lin Ge's master, Lu Xuanji, Gu Zuiren, Wu Qiuzi, and so on … They should all know where Marty Francis Island was.
However, Xu Yun was also very clear that although these people knew about it, they would definitely not tell him the location. Even if he talked until his mouth cracked, he was afraid that there was no way he could get anything out of these people.
And once Xu Yun asked this question, they would inevitably doubt his motives. This was the most troublesome thing for Xu Yun. He couldn't ask these people.
Because of this matter, Xu Yun almost racked his brains. Even in a very important meeting this morning, he had been in a state of absent-mindedness. Many times, it was Lin Ge who reminded him that he came back to his senses. Xu Yun knew that he was not in a good state, but he still couldn't control himself to think about this matter.
As soon as he returned to the office, Xu Yun stared at the satellite map of the Pacific Ocean on the computer screen in a daze. He zoomed in on the map, but no matter how close it was, it was impossible for people to eliminate the islands one by one in the vast Pacific Ocean.
The Pacific Ocean was still a sea that had not been conquered by human beings. Its surface area was larger than all the continents on Earth combined. There were more than 25,000 islands of various sizes scattered on the surface of the sea. Half of these islands were still uninhabited. Many of these islands did not have names, and there were many that had not been counted yet.
Because on this ocean, how many islands would sink with the rising tide and rise with the falling tide was a number that no one could be sure of. It was really too difficult to find them by himself.
