For Xu Yun, the past few days at sea were like a good dream. Gu Qiya, a female arms dealer whom he had met by chance, had given him unexpected help. In the end, when Xu Yun said that he was going to leave, she didn't say anything. Instead, she filled Xu Yun's small speedboat with fuel in advance and changed all their life jackets.
For all that Gu Qiya had done, Xu Yun could only thank her from the bottom of his heart. However, Gu Qiya smiled and said that it was nothing. This was called fate. If it were someone else, she might not have saved them. If it weren't for her, Xu Yun might have gotten into bigger trouble. It was fate that arranged for them to meet. That was all.
Zuo Meiyan and Xia Qiuyu didn't want to hear those sour farewells, so they got on the speedboat early under Gu Qiya's arrangement. Lin Ge also hugged Owen and the others and said goodbye. This group of mercenaries were forthright men, so Lin Ge got along well with them. When it was time to say goodbye, this group of forthright mercenaries was a little reluctant to part.
Xu Yun was the last to return to the speedboat. When he was alone, Gu Qiya said something to him. Xu Yun didn't respond, because he didn't know how to respond.
Under the skillful operation of Lin Ge, the speedboat soon sailed into the territorial waters of Hua Xia. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, they tried to avoid the patrols of the navy and the coast guard as much as possible. Because the speed of the small speedboat was fast enough, after a few minutes, the people on the arms ship could no longer see the small speedboat.
The speedboat slowly became smaller and finally disappeared into a small black dot at the horizon. Gu Qiya breathed a sigh of relief. She had never experienced this feeling of reluctance before. She felt that even if Xu Yun stayed on this boat, even if it was three months or three years, she would have endless things to say to him.
"Miss Gu." Owen suddenly came up to her. There were some things that he wanted to say, but he didn't because of the timing. Now that the "guests" on the ship had left, he finally could not help but remind her. "I know the real reason why you took over the arms trade. You just don't want to stay at home so that you can have a legitimate reason to avoid some people. But this is only a temporary solution. You can't avoid it forever … I've been with the boss for so many years. After you entered the family business, I've been working under you. I know you. Please believe me. I'm saying this for your sake. Even if you don't understand what I'm saying, you should think about the boss and the industry … Some feelings can't be touched. "
Gu Qiya turned to look at Owen. She did not expect the leader of the mercenaries to be such a meticulous person. He could even tell what a girl like her had been thinking for the past two days. Indeed, after she entered the family business, Owen had always been her right-hand man. Most of the time, Owen had even done more than her bodyguard, Fu Li, who had been by her side since childhood.
"I'll think about your words." Gu Qiya said, "But you also know that feelings can't be forced. Although I've never set foot on Hua Xia's land, I know a lot of Hua Xia's ancient proverbs. There's a saying that goes, 'A melon that's forcefully picked is not sweet.' I'd rather drift on this damn sea than go back to cater to a guy that I don't like from the bottom of my heart. "
Owen shook his head helplessly. If the boss had a way, he would never have put Miss Gu in such a difficult position. However, there were too many things in this world that were too complicated. It was not something that could be explained in one or two sentences or events. The relationship between people was even more complicated.
In life, there were things that one had to do, and there were reasons that one had to sacrifice for a certain purpose.
Gu Qiya was not ready to sacrifice her personal happiness for the industry, but at the same time, she did not want to sacrifice the interests of the industry for her own personal happiness … It was a very contradictory thing, so she chose to escape and took over the business on behalf of her father.
Just as Owen said, hiding was only a temporary solution. It could not solve the problem.
"Don't worry, I know what I should do and what I shouldn't do." Gu Qiya's gaze drifted into the distance. "But it's okay to think about it, right? If I don't even dare to have my own thoughts, then what's the point of me living? You just have to do your own things. You don't have to worry about my affairs. "
Owen did not say anything else. He silently turned and left. Gu Qiya was indeed a capable woman. At least, her courage and ability were far superior to many men in the Gu family. This was the most basic reason why she could lead them.
…
After a lot of hardships, Xu Yun and the others finally landed. Although the speedboat that they drove back from Japan was not bad, it could not be driven home and could only be abandoned. As for the five million dollars that Gu Qiya did not keep, Xu Yun wanted to return it to Eguchi Nago.
But the other three did not think so. Lin Ge was even more blunt. "No matter what, you cured Eguchi Nago of her black magic. Eguchi Kogoro should pay some money. Not to mention this, even if he pays twice as much, if we don't go to Japan to help him, his daughter can't be saved. "
"Obviously, this is what you deserve," Zuo Meiyan said. "He doesn't deserve it because he didn't do anything. You saved the eldest daughter of the Eguchi family, so five million dollars is really not much."
"In that case, Xia Qiuyu should take the money." Xu Yun said, "I went to Japan for the Qi Consolidating Grass, not to save people."
Xia Qiuyu waved her hand. "Don't drag me into everything. I really don't understand you. Who would complain that they have too much money these days? Only a weirdo like you. If you really feel that you have too much money, charter a plane to take us back to Koto. "
"Seriously, let's go back to Koto first." Zuo Meiyan stretched. "I really don't have the energy to do anything after sitting on the boat for a few days. Do you see the big billboard over there? Dongtai Chinese Sturgeon Nature Reserve. We are in Suhang now. It's still a long way to go back to Jibei. "
"Yes, that's the important thing." Xu Yun also knew that it was crazy for the four of them to wander around with millions of dollars. "Take a taxi to the high-speed railway station and try to get back before dark."
Since the Great Master had spoken, everyone immediately took action and once again set foot on the Expedition Path. In the high-speed railway carriage, Zuo Meiyan and Xia Qiuyu both closed their eyes and fell asleep. Lin Ge was carrying the money box anyway, so they did not need to worry.
Xu Yun, on the other hand, is fiddling with that small transparent glass bottle in his hand. Looking at the dozen or so black Qi Consolidating Grass seeds in the bottle, he didn't expect that whether or not he could recover his martial cultivation aura, he actually had to rely on such an unremarkable little thing. He could only rely on Ruan Qingshuang to cultivate the Qi Consolidating Grass in a short time.
