In the vast expanse of smoke, they could vaguely see a boat passing by not far away from Ye Huanyan. Her exclamation was drowned out by He Chaoqun's sudden attack. He lowered his voice and mixed it with the waves. "Don't make a sound. That's … my family's boat."
Ye Huanyan's eyes were red. She looked in the direction where Ji Xiaoyue was drowned by the waves. Her face was drained of color.
"I will bring her back."
After saying this, without waiting for Ye Huanyan's response,
With a "plop", He Chaoqun's red life jacket was all that was left in front of her eyes. The night was about to break, and a wisp of white light appeared in the east. The waves were surging, and the smoke had dissipated. After the smoke had dissipated, there was no trace of anyone on the surface of the sea.
He Chaoqun had already adjusted the direction of the speedboat. Ye Huanyan looked in the direction he had jumped in disbelief. Her eyes were filled with tears. When she turned around, Chen Yin was holding Naonnao tightly. Her expression was very complicated. She opened her mouth and finally spat out a sentence. "Damn it, if only I could swim …"
When the speedboat docked at the harbor, it was already bright.
Ye Huanyan got off the boat first and took Naonnao from Chen Yin. Then, the three of them took a taxi directly to the hotel in downtown Los Angeles.
"Won't anyone discover us here?"
Chen Yin sent Naonnao into the room. After coming out, she stood in front of the window and carefully opened the curtains.
"No, this is a long-term suite rented with the identity of Gu Liu. If anything happens, the family will have a place to stay. Before we came, my father told me, so it's absolutely safe here."
Chen Yin breathed a sigh of relief. She turned around and sat down in front of the coffee table. "Two days ago, I thought that it would be great if I could be born a rich young lady like you. I could eat and drink well every day and order the servants around in the villa. I could stay in the villa for the rest of my life and not go anywhere."
"And now?"
Ye Huanyan looked at her, slowly exhaled, and said faintly, "You've completely given up on this idea."
"You can't really put it that way. I just suddenly understood the saying that benefits and risks coexist."
Chen Yin didn't even finish middle school before she ran out of home to become a hooligan, so this kind of words was really not something she could say. Ye Huanyan was a little curious, so she casually asked, "Which book did you see this in?"
"No." Chen Yin smiled embarrassedly, scratched her head, and explained, "It was in prison … After you left, another academic finance professor came to our prison. He was old and seemed to be involved in a money laundering case. In the end, something happened and he was brought in. At that time, big sister said that a knowledgeable person might not be able to live a peaceful life."
Ye Huanyan clenched the cup in her hand. Although Chen Yin was usually carefree, she was particularly sensitive now. Seeing Ye Huanyan's expression change and stop talking, she regretted speaking without thinking. She hurriedly said, "Sister Yan Yan, I didn't mean that. Uncle and Auntie will definitely be fine. They didn't do anything wrong."
"Xiao Wu, sometimes, even if you didn't do anything wrong, there will still be people who want to push the blame to you and splash dirty water on you."
"Sister, I …"
"I know that's not what you mean. I don't have the ability to care about my parents' matters. Since they stayed, they must have a way to solve their predicament. What I'm worried about is Xiao Yue and Xiao Qun."
The sea looked very gentle when it was calm, but most of the time, it was not gentle to land animals.
…
On the second floor of a seaside villa in Manhattan Beach.
A strong man with a pale face was placed in a wheelchair and pushed to the balcony on the second floor to bask in the sun.
"I'm going to make a trip to China. You stay here obediently. When I'm done with everything, I'll take you back to the Four Seasons Villa that you miss so much."
Gu Duo stood behind him in a long black dress, looking calmly at the sea in the distance. "Brother, I said before that no one in this world is more compatible than us."
A cold laugh came from in front of her.
Her eyelashes trembled slightly. "Why? Do you think we're not compatible?"
Gu Sinian closed his eyes and didn't say a word.
Gu Duo walked around the wheelchair in front of him and slowly squatted down to be level with him. She held the armrests on both sides of the wheelchair and looked up at him. "Brother, you're laughing coldly. Do you think I'm wrong?"
Gu Sinian still maintained that mocking look. His lips were dry, but he didn't seem to want to move at all.
Gu Duo's grip on the wheelchair gradually tightened. She gritted her teeth and said, "You're not going to talk?"
"…"
"Okay."
She got up slightly and moved towards his pale lips, but he easily avoided her by tilting his head.
His eyes were full of disgust.
"Gu Sinian, I said before, don't look at me like that again."
Gu Duo's eyes gradually filled with madness. She held Gu Sinian's cheek and kissed him without any pattern. She was clumsy and rough, infatuated and crazy.
Gu Sinian's entire body could only move from his neck up. He couldn't muster up any strength at all. The only part of his body that could move, his neck, was also under Gu Duo's forceful control and was bullied at will.
After struggling for a long time, he suddenly stopped moving, allowing her lips to crazily fall on his cheeks and lips. His response, however, was only an indifferent expression.
Gu Duo gradually stopped. She hugged Gu Sinian's neck and almost hung on him. Her eyes were full of grief and she repeated every word, "I said before, I hate you looking at me like that."
It was like looking at an unwanted stray dog by the roadside, even more pitiful.
The sound of the door slamming echoed on the balcony.
Gu Sinian knew that she would be gone for a long time this time, and his chance to escape was probably only in the next few days.
…
Four Seasons Villa. In the wee hours of the morning, the United Nations Public Prosecutor's Office surrounded the entire Four Seasons Villa. He Xiao followed behind the person in charge of this operation, Mr. Smith, and walked into the magnificent Four Seasons Villa.
Gu Ling and Wen Yi were both dressed up and sitting on the sofa, looking like they had been waiting for a long time.
"Mr. Gu Ling, you are suspected of smuggling arms. Please come with us to cooperate with the investigation."
Smith's fluent English sounded in the hall.
He still had a bit of respect for this "stock god" who used to be famous on Wall Street.
Gu Ming stood up, but his eyes were fixed behind Smith. "Okay, but before you leave, it seems that someone has something to say to me."
Smith's eyes were slightly sluggish. He subconsciously looked behind him and frowned. "He, do you have anything to say?"
"Mr. Smith, please take your people and wait outside. I have some personal matters to discuss with my friends. It won't take too long."
Smith nodded and walked out with his people.
Only He Xiao and his two former friends were left in the huge East Villa living room. The atmosphere was tense.
