Lu Xingzhi turned on the bedside lamp and let Xu Dongqin find a place to sit in the room. He got up and went to get a silk scarf for Jiang Yao, then handed the thermos flask to Jiang Yao. The water in the flask had been filled before going to bed, so it was still warm.
"Mr. Lu, did you guess that I would come back?" Xu Dongqin looked at Lu Xingzhi's reaction and knew that his actions were within his expectations. "Since that's the case, Mr. Lu should have guessed my purpose for coming."
"How would I know if you don't tell me?" Lu Xingzhi would say that he didn't know even if he knew. If Xu Dongqin didn't ask him personally, how could he beat down his arrogance and drive?
Xu Dongqin looked at Lu Xingzhi, who was feeding Jiang Yao water, and his eyes darkened. Lu Xingzhi had answered too quickly, so he wasn't sure if Lu Xingzhi really didn't know or if he was faking it.
"Mr. Xu, since you're here, just tell me what you want. It's so late at night. If you don't sleep, as a pregnant woman, I can't not sleep." She was woken up in the middle of the night. Even after drinking water, her voice still sounded a little soft and delicate from just waking up.
Lu Xingzhi's temples throbbed when he heard that. He reached out and squeezed Jiang Yao's hand. He didn't want her voice to be heard by other men. It was exclusive to him.
Since Jiang Yao had said that, even if Xu Dongqin felt that Lu Xingzhi was asking the obvious, he still had to put his difficulties on the table and ask for help.
"It shouldn't be hard for the two of you to guess my current difficulties. I can't contact anyone outside the island, and I can't leave the island. Although the boss hasn't given the order to do anything to me, it's only because I, Xu Dongqin, am the second-in-command of the organization and was personally promoted by my foster father. He doesn't dare to openly cause internal strife in the organization because he's afraid that my foster father will blame him when he wakes up. He's also afraid that the elders in the organization won't accept him because of this. However, he thinks that I was the one who changed the drug and wanted to kill him, so he'll find a way to deal with me sooner or later."
Xu Dongqin clenched his fists. "I can't kill him openly. He has many other sinister ways to kill me. So, I have to leave the island as soon as possible. I hope the two of you can help me."
Jiang Yao turned her head to look at Lu Xingzhi. She wasn't sure what Lu Xingzhi was thinking, so it was best for her to remain silent and let Lu Xingzhi deal with Xu Dongqin.
However, even after Jiang Yao looked at Lu Xingzhi for a few seconds, he didn't seem to have any intention of saying anything. He held her hand and looked down at it, fiddling with it as if he was holding a rare treasure. He couldn't bear to part with it.
"If you can help me, I can provide you with weapons, including the new weapons that our base has developed. I can also provide you with money and gold. As long as you ask, I, Xu Dongqin, can afford it," Xu Dongqin said. "I can even promise you that as long as I, Xu Dongqin, become the boss one day, I, Xu Dongqin, promise that the organization won't offend your country. As long as your country's people don't take the initiative to offend people from our organization, we won't touch any of your country's citizens."
Ignoring the weapons and money, Jiang Yao felt that the latter promise was really too tempting.
