This was the first time He Chaoqun had been outside the house since he woke up. Only then did he realize that this place was not unfamiliar to him.
About two villas away from the beach, there was a villa near the beach, which was his private property.
Thinking of this, he suddenly smiled.
There were certain benefits to being rich. For example, he could lie on a piece of driftwood for an entire day and still float to his doorstep.
He turned around and prepared to take Ji Xiaoyue away directly. After all, at this juncture, there was no safe place for the Gu family except for his own home.
When he turned around, he suddenly saw the back of a man on the balcony of a room in the same row.
Judging from his back, this man should be well-built. However, judging from the height of this man who was only half a shoulder above the balcony, he was a little short.
This room seemed to be the one that the Maid had just mentioned. It was their master's room.
The sound of a wheel turning entered his ears.
He Chaoqun suddenly came to a realization.
No wonder she was unwilling to see others. It was probably because of her physical limitations.
Thinking of this, he lowered his head and hurried into the room before the owner turned around to avoid any unnecessary awkwardness if their eyes met on the balcony.
In the room, the light was dim. He Chaoqun's action of drawing the curtains made the light dazzle on the bed a little. However, it quickly returned to silence.
Ji Xiaoyue was still unconscious and did not seem to show any signs of waking up.
He Chaoqun sat by the bed for a while. His stomach inevitably let out a scream.
"Knock, knock, knock." There was a knock on the door.
"Come in."
He quickly looked up and stood up.
It was the Maid. She was holding a tray in her hand and her expression was calm. "Sir, you've slept for so long. You're probably hungry. This is the food prepared by the kitchen. If you don't like it, you can tell me."
There was a salad, a vegetable juice, a curry rice, and a seafood soup.
It tasted good just by looking at it.
He Chaoqun quickly thanked her and walked towards the food that was already on the coffee table in the room.
"I plan to take her away in the afternoon. I won't trouble you too much. Please leave me your contact information. When I get home, I'll come and thank you on another day."
The Maid hurriedly waved her hand.
"No need."
"How can we accept your help? We should be grateful for your help."
"There's really no need. Please continue with your meal."
The Maid immediately turned around and left, as if deliberately avoiding He Chaoqun's gratitude.
The room returned to silence.
He Chaoqun pinched his ears. This was his habit, his habit when he was thinking about things.
The Maid of this house had too much power.
Apart from the matter of saving him, it seemed that no matter what decision she made, it was her own matter. She had never consulted her master.
He Chaoqun felt a little puzzled. He kept feeling that something was not quite right, but he was unable to pinpoint what was wrong at the moment.
In the afternoon, the sun was shining brightly.
The beach was peaceful, and the waves hit the shore. If it weren't for the occasional people walking by the beach wearing overcoats, for a few moments, people would mistakenly think that they could see beautiful women in bikinis here.
The weather forecast announced that it would rain at night. The Maid had already closed the entire villa's balcony. Finally, she pushed Gu Sinian back into the room and poured out two white pills from the medicine box on the tray. When she was about to throw them into the water, Gu Sinian suddenly spoke.
"I can eat it directly. There's no need to put it in the water."
The Maid was slightly stunned and looked at him hesitantly.
"It's too bitter to put it in the water."
Gu Sinian's voice was low, and his eyes were unquestionable. He reached out to her. His strong arms looked like they were weak, but under the effect of the white pills, they were as soft as his legs.
The Filipino maid hesitated for a few seconds, but still handed the bottle cap with two white pills into his hand. She only watched him swallow the pills before she handed him the water with relief.
"Sir, the two people who were saved by the beach have already left. They probably had something urgent and left in a hurry, so they asked me to convey their gratitude on their behalf."
Gu Sinian glanced at the Maid, put the cup on the table, and nodded indifferently.
The Maid said cautiously,
"By the way, Miss said that she wanted to video call you at dinner."
"Okay."
Gu Sinian turned his head to look out of the window, looking indifferent.
The Maid tidied up the tray on the table. When she saw the vitamins at the corner of the table, she asked hesitantly, "Sir, have you taken your vitamins today?"
"Yes, take them away."
"Yes, sir."
After the Maid left, Gu Sinian tried to move his legs, then opened his palm and stared at the two white pills in his palm. A trace of coldness appeared in his eyes.
At the entrance of the Manhattan Beach Villa,
Gu Chi drove a black jeep, and Ye Huanyan and Chen Yin were sitting in the back seat. Both of them had colorful oil paint on their faces, and there were all kinds of ribbons and balloons piled up beside them.
From afar, they saw the security guard at the gate open the door and walk out. He gestured at their car to stop by the side,
"Stop for a moment, sir."
The security guard knocked on the window and looked suspiciously at the two strange women behind the car.
"You are?"
"A friend is holding a party here for the next two days. We came here in advance to help."
"Your friend is …"
"Miss Zhou from Building B over there. She often holds parties …"
"Miss Zhou's friend."
The security guard suddenly showed a look of indifference. He smiled and said, "Then tell me Miss Zhou's phone number and register it first."
"Okay."
Gu Chi fluently gave Miss Zhou's phone number, then filled out the form and handed it to the security guard. The big rocker in front of the door slowly got up, and the jeep drove in.
Ye Huanyan breathed a sigh of relief, as if her heart was still in her throat and could not calm down. She still had lingering fears.
Just as they passed the big rocker, a figure was reflected in the rearview mirror.
The security guard went forward to negotiate,
"What are you doing?"
A familiar voice entered Ye Huanyan's ears. Her eyes froze, and she turned her head abruptly. Her gaze passed through the backseat window,
"I'm a resident here." The young man's voice was very clear,
"Resident?" The security guard looked at him suspiciously.
The people who came and went here in luxury cars. This was the first time he saw someone on foot.
"Surname He, Building B, 3-11. Check it. Do you want to give me your phone number?"
"No, no, Mr. He, right? Come in, this lady is …" The security guard looked at the woman on He Chaoqun's back with a probing expression.
The young man grinned,
"My girlfriend. She drank too much and is throwing a tantrum."
"Do you need help?"
"No, you do what you need to do. I'm going in."
He Chaoqun's figure disappeared around the corner of the main road. Ye Huanyan pulled the car door, but Gu Chi locked it in time. Gu Chi deliberately lowered his voice in the car,
"Don't alert the enemy first. We'll follow them later."
They did not expect to bump into He Chaoqun and Ji Xiaoyue here.
The moment she saw them, Ye Huanyan's face was filled with uncontrollable ecstasy. They were still alive.
