When the Maid came back, Gu Sinian had already pushed the wheelchair back into the room. He leaned against the windowsill and looked out of the window in a daze. When he heard the sound of footsteps, he asked,
"How is it?"
The Maid was stunned and hurriedly said,
"They're fine. The doctor came to see them. They just fainted after floating on the sea for too long. It's a man and a woman. They're probably a couple."
"Well, arrange a room for them to stay until they wake up."
The Maid nodded. She didn't dare to go against Gu Sinian's opinion. When she left the room, she called Gu Duo.
"Miss, Mr. Gu asked me to pick up two people who fell into the water on the beach today. Do you think …"
"Who are they? Have you checked their identities?"
The tone on the other end of the phone was very vigilant.
"A man and a woman. It looks like they're a couple. They floated to the beach. Maybe they're tourists who fell into the water nearby. They were almost dead. The doctor gave them intravenous fluids and they got better. By the way, they're Chinese."
"Chinese?" Gu Duo pondered for a few seconds. "He asked you to save them after seeing them?"
"No, Mr. Gu saw them on the balcony. He only saw two shadows on the beach. He hasn't seen them yet."
"If he wants to save them, let him save them. Just don't let him come into contact with those two people. When they wake up, ask them to leave quickly."
Gu Duo was a little impatient and coldly warned,
"I'll be back in two days. Keep a close eye on him. If anything happens, you know the consequences …"
The Maid repeatedly responded on the other end of the phone.
After hanging up the phone, she opened the door and was about to ask Gu Sinian what he wanted to eat for lunch.
However, he spoke first.
"She agreed?"
The Maid was stunned for a few seconds and nodded embarrassedly.
"I won't come into contact with those two people. Take good care of them and send them away when they wake up."
The Maid's expression changed slightly and revealed a look of astonishment.
These words were almost exactly the same as Gu Duo's request.
If it weren't for the top-notch sound insulation in the room, she almost thought that Gu Sinian was eavesdropping.
"Okay … I … I understand, Mr. Gu."
…
"There are more than 50 villas on the beach where the ship docked. It won't be too difficult to search them one by one, but I'm afraid that we will alert the enemy. So, my suggestion is to find a way to hack into the property management center of these villas, and then investigate from the owners."
Behind Gu Chi was a drawing board, which served as a blackboard. On it was a simple map of Manhattan Beach. More than 50 villas were marked and numbered on the map.
Ye Huanyan and Ling Han sat side by side on the sofa. Chen Yin sat on the single sofa with the fried chicken wings she had just bought and was fighting with Naonnao to eat.
After listening to the analysis, Ye Huanyan asked.
"When will Gu Duo be back?"
"I'm not sure. She's still in the country now. Pleasure Group has been in a lot of turmoil recently. Because it's involved in the arms trade, the entire group has been suspended. The Industry and Commerce Bureau is also investigating them. Gu Duo is trying to find a way to clear her name, but the father and son of the Wen family seem to have realized that they've been fooled. Now they're biting on her and refusing to let go."
"That means we still have time."
"Not necessarily." Ling Han frowned and explained.
"When the equity change was announced, it was transferred to Gu Duo's name. In the end, the transaction was actually transferred to Umbo's name. So, if they want to investigate her, they won't be able to find anything. Plus, with her nationality, she can leave at any time."
Ye Huanyan also frowned.
"So, if she leaves tonight, we have less than two days at most."
"Let's split up."
Gu Chi interrupted. "How about this, Mr. Ling, you stay here and contact Xiaobo. At the same time, you keep an eye on Young Master. Let the two of them find a way to hack into the property system. I'll take Second Miss and Xiao Wu to these villas to check one by one."
"Okay." Ye Huanyan nodded.
"I have no objections." Chen Yin looked up at Gu Chi.
"It's fine as long as we can go out. It's too stuffy here."
"What about you? Can you stay here and accompany Naonnao?"
Ye Huanyan looked at Ling Han with a hint of worry in her eyes. Her gaze fell on his legs.
Ling Han nodded. His voice was low.
"Don't worry about me. I'll stay here. You guys do what you need to do."
Ye Huanyan retracted her gaze from his legs. Although she tried to hide it, there was still a hint of sadness.
Ling Han seemed to have seen through her thoughts. He reached out and pulled her into his arms. He patted her shoulder.
"I'm fine. After these things are over, I'll go to the hospital for a re-examination. We still have a lot of time. I can slowly do the rehabilitation treatment."
Just like the five years you spent with me.
Ye Huanyan nodded. Looking at the map drawn by Gu Chi in front of her, her eyes became more determined.
..
In a Manhattan beach villa.
The first ray of sunlight shone in through the curtains of the room, illuminating his delicate features. The young man frowned and raised his hand to cover his face. Then, he slowly opened his eyes.
In front of him was a bedroom decorated in a simple European style. The environment was very unfamiliar.
He Chaoqun sat up abruptly, lifted the quilt, and got out of bed. He quickly walked to the door and opened it. There was a corridor outside. The wooden floor was shiny. Only a door at the end of the corridor was open. Voices came from it.
He hurriedly took two steps. Before he reached the door, he saw the door open. A fat figure walked out. It was a Filipino maid. She spoke fluent English. She was probably afraid that he would not understand, so she made some hand gestures.
"You're awake?"
"Thank you. Did you save me?"
Seeing that He Chaoqun could speak English, the Maid breathed a sigh of relief and stepped forward.
"You're welcome. Our Sir saved you. But our Sir doesn't like to meet outsiders, so I'm sorry. When your companion wakes up, you have to leave."
He Chaoqun nodded hurriedly and asked, "Where's my companion?"
The Maid pointed to a room behind him that was adjacent to the previous room. "There."
He Chaoqun thanked her and turned to walk toward the room.
After jumping into the sea, he quickly found Ji Xiaoyue. At that time, he was very far away from the beach of the Four Seasons Villa, and there was no time to return. The He family's boat was nearby, and the sea was very turbulent. He took Ji Xiaoyue and floated in the sea for a long time. Fortunately, he found a piece of driftwood and floated down with the current.
Hunger and cold made the two people's physical strength plummet. In the end, He Chaoqun found a way to untie his belt and tied their hands together. He clasped the driftwood tightly and fainted.
When she woke up, she was saved by this unknown man on Manhattan Beach.
"This lady choked on water. The doctor came to see her. He said that she will wake up later, so you don't have to worry."
The Filipino maid explained a few words. He Chaoqun thanked her and she left.
Ji Xiaoyue's bedroom was decorated exactly the same as the one he woke up in. Even the pot of green plants in the room grew in the same position.
He glanced at Ji Xiaoyue, who was still unconscious, and let out a long sigh.
He had done his best and lived up to his conscience.
The sun was shining brightly on the windowsill. He carefully opened the balcony door and walked out. Manhattan Beach was opposite.
