"Why are you here?" Lin Mo asked with an indifferent expression, his clean and clear eyes looking at Du Ruoxi, then immediately furrowed his brows.
Lin Shanshan was unexpectedly not with them.
"I wanted to ask you the same thing." Du Ruoxi rolled her eyes in annoyance.
Weiwei frowned, her delicate eyebrows lifting slightly, a hint of coldness in her eyes, "Why else would he be here? It must be because he's afraid of the Wei Family's retaliation, so he's hiding on this deserted island."
Lin Mo glanced at her, a flash of coldness in his eyes.
Weiwei trembled slightly as she saw Lin Mo's eyes, a chill running through her whole body.
"I'm here for my own reasons. As for the Wei Family, they'd probably wet themselves seeing me, let alone seek revenge," Lin Mo said coldly.
"Ha, all talk and no action. If the Wei Family really came, you'd be the first to run away," Du Jie shook his head, a scornful look on his face.
Even Du Xueqi and Du Ruoxi didn't believe Lin Mo's words. The Wei Family was the number one family in Fu Province. Why should they be afraid of you after you beat Wei Ya like that?
"Boasting in front of girls just makes you look disgusting," Du Feiyu said with a sneer, a glint of wisdom in his eyes.
Lin Mo couldn't be bothered with them; if they weren't Lin Shanshan's relatives, he would have smacked these flies into the sea long ago.
"By the way, where is Shanshan right now?" Lin Mo asked directly, his brows furrowed while staring at Du Ruoxi.
"Shanshan is on the cruise ship," Du Xueqi said crisply.
Lin Mo nodded, "Shanshan is on the cruise, just where I need to find her."
"You still dare to go on the cruise ship? The Wei Family is there too. Won't they throw you into the sea to feed the sharks the moment they see you?" Du Jie exclaimed, his eyes wide.
Lin Mo snorted, "Even if I gave the Wei Family ten times their courage, they wouldn't dare."
"Ha, anyone can boast," Du Jie muttered, curling his lip.
A trace of coldness flashed through Du Feiyu's eyes. "Since you want to go to the cruise ship, we'll take you there, but if the Wei Family gives you trouble, don't blame us." Du Ruoxi hesitated for a moment, biting her thin lips and thinking, "Shanshan is on the cruise, and since Shanshan has agreed to Du Li and Ma Yan's request, I reckon Du Li will give Lin Mo a hand out of consideration for Shanshan's request. It's better to resolve the situation sooner, rather than let Lin Mo hide on the deserted island."
Not just Du Ruoxi, but the others also sneered to themselves, looking at Lin Mo with contempt or disdain.
He probably couldn't stand staying on the deserted island any longer and had no way to leave Xiazhou, so he had no choice but to take this opportunity to ask the Du Family to plead for him and have the Wei Family let him off the hook.
The speedboat was returning, Lin Mo sat motionless at the front, his black hair constantly being blown by the sea wind. His gaze, however, was like a sharp treasure sword, aiming far away at the luxurious cruise ship.
At that moment, Lin Mo had released his Divine Sense, completely enveloping the luxurious cruise ship within it.
The cruise ship had ten floors, equipped with a music bar, a hotel, an indoor swimming pool, and a gym, as well as a Chinese restaurant and a café. The level of luxury was beyond the wildest dreams of the ordinary person—it was the power of capital.
Lin Mo's Divine Sense entered a luxurious private box, where Lin Shanshan and a middle-aged couple sat. Today, Shanshan was dressed exceptionally beautifully, her makeup applied flawlessly, her hair twisted into intricate designs, clad in a white, diamond-studded evening gown with white lace gloves on her hands. Seated on the sofa, she furrowed her brow tightly and gently bit her moist lower lip, a trace of sorrow hanging on her pretty face.
The woman sitting next to her was glittering with jewels, dignified and opulent, and a hint of jealousy arose in her eyes as they fell upon Shanshan.
This jewel-adorned woman was Ma Yan, the current wife of Du Li, and a daughter of a prominent family. It was her involvement that had caused Du Li to forsake the chance to be with Shanshan's biological mother, making Shanshan follow Lin Mei.
"Shanshan, today, Master Li Mingjun will come in person. You must perform well and strive to secure this marriage." Du Li, holding a cigar between his lips, spoke, and white smoke billowed out of his mouth as he revealed a hint of seriousness on his face.
"I know," Shanshan muttered, looking down, her eyes revealing a deeper shade of sadness.
Immediately she lifted her head and looked at Du Li, "If I marry Li Mingjun, will you really not cause any trouble for Brother Mo? And what about the Wei Family..."
"Hmph, you still dare mention that brat? He had the audacity to cripple my son." Ma Yan's eyes flashed with anger and resentment, her tone icy.
Du Li glanced at his wife and frowned, "Xiao Mo is Shanshan's cousin; let's save face for Shanshan on this matter. Don't bring it up again."
Ma Yan snorted coldly and fell silent, but inwardly she thought, "Once you are married off to Han Country, will you still have any say over Lin Mo's affairs?"
"As for the Wei Family, naturally, I will plead on Lin Mo's behalf. However, even if they don't kill him, they will surely subject him to some humiliation," Du Li pondered aloud.
Lin Shanshan sighed and stayed silent.
This whole scene was captured by Lin Mo's Divine Sense. Standing on the speedboat, Lin Mo's palms curled slightly, clenching into fists, his sharp nails digging into the flesh of his own palms without him even feeling it.
"Li Mingjun?" Lin Mo furrowed his brow, "Du Li, how dare you force Shanshan to marry someone from Han Country."
A fierce blaze of rage ignited in Lin Mo's chest as if to scorch the heavens themselves.
Lin Shanshan, having never even seen her own birth mother, was treated by Du Li as a tool for political exchange.
"Heh, Du Family, how will you explain yourselves?" Lin Mo chuckled coldly, the chill in his eyes almost tangible.
"Is Shanshan getting engaged on the cruise ship today?" Lin Mo asked Du Ruoxi indifferently, hands clasped behind his back and turning his head.
Du Ruoxi looked at him surprisedly, "How did you know about this?"
Having said that, she nodded and added, "Shanshan agreed to the marriage out of fear that Du Li and Ma Yan would seek revenge against you for Du Chengwen, and also because he wants the Du Family to plead with the Wei Family on your behalf."
"Shanshan, it's all because Brother Mo didn't reveal my true identity to you. Otherwise, you wouldn't have to endure such humiliation for my sake," Lin Mo shook his head, with a tinge of self-reproach in his voice.
Du Jie watched them, utterly baffled, and then couldn't help but burst into laughter, "Man, what a waste for you not to be on stage. What 'true identity'? Are you some retired super special forces Soldier King from Huaxia, or a world Assassin hiding among us, or perhaps an exceptional master who has descended from the mountains?"
