131: Chapter 131 Su Baobao Ran Away 131: Chapter 131 Su Baobao Ran Away The moon is dark and the wind is high.
Zhu Feng Island is enveloped in darkness, utterly silent.
Su He and three others successfully landed on the island.
Fei Yang and Fei Yue didn’t expect it to be so easy to set foot on the island.
However, there was a moment of panic in between, and they still feel lingering fear now.
Zhu Feng Island is surrounded by sea on all sides.
Previously, Su He didn’t tell them that the defenses are weakest in the northwest direction, especially at night, with very few guards and even no one at times.
That’s because there are groups of sharks in the seas to the northwest.
Normal people wouldn’t land on the island from there, as they could end up completely obliterated.
But Su He is different; she makes the impossible possible.
“Young Madam, what did you scatter into the sea just now?” Fei Yue asked curiously.
Just moments ago, as their kayak entered halfway into the sea area, they felt something approaching on the water surface.
She and Fei Yang looked and felt a chill down their spines.
The two are not cowards, but in that moment, they were truly terrified and their hair stood on end.
There was not just one shark, but a whole group.
They directly surrounded their small kayak, creating a sense of “lambs entering a tiger’s den.”
Yet, Su He remained unexpectedly calm, and then, they saw her take out a bottle of unknown powder from her pocket and scatter it into the sea.
The next second, the sharks automatically swerved away.
Su He replied indifferently, “It’s a specially formulated powder.
When this group of sharks smells it, they get scared and automatically leave.”
Both of them suddenly understood.
At the same time, they couldn’t help but admire Su He.
This was their first encounter with Su He.
Although they had known for a long time that their master was married, they had never seen Su He in person.
Seeing her today, she truly was different from other women.
To enter the island from the northwest, they needed to traverse a stretch of jungle to reach the center of the island.
This jungle wasn’t as simple as it looked; one can’t just cross it casually.
Su He gave Bai Yang a look and he immediately understood.
He then took out a small bottle from the pocket of his assault jacket.
It contained transparent capsules.
He poured out three capsules and gave one each to Fei Yue and Fei Yang.
“Swallow it,” Bai Yang simply stated, and then he too swiftly ingested his own.
Though perplexed, both swallowed the capsules.
“Don’t worry, it’s not poisonous.
At night, this jungle emits a mist that, once inhaled, causes hallucinations.
At the lightest, it leads to fainting; at worst, it results in madness and harming others,” explained Bai Yang: “What we just ingested is the antidote, only our boss has this.”
Both nodded in understanding.
While they talked, Su He already started walking toward the entrance of the jungle.
“But, Young Madam hasn’t taken it yet,” Fei Yue said, looking towards Su He’s retreating figure.
Bai Yang pocketed the medicine bottle and caught up, saying along the way, “The boss’s body is immune; the mist doesn’t affect her.”
“…”
So far, everything here seems to be going smoothly.
However, the atmosphere at Yilie Pier is not so relaxed.
It feels tense and fraught with hostility.
“Young Master Ye, this business deal, you won’t be losing.”
Jiang Yan sits opposite Ye Jiuqing, his demeanor exuding nobility and dominance.
Helian Lu sits in the middle like an arbiter.
With formidable figures on both sides, he feels quite uneasy.
But he is curious, so he stays put.
These days, it’s not easy even to be a spectator!
“Yes, I also think it’s a fair deal,” Helian Lu chimed in: “Aren’t you always keen to make money?
Here’s money coming to you freely.
You’re not interested?”
As soon as the words fell, a streak of cold light shot through.
Ye Jiuqing’s gaze was icy, as though it could freeze a person into an ice sculpture.
Helian Lu cleared his throat and touched his nose: “I didn’t say anything wrong.”
Ye Jiuqing’s voice was cold and harsh: “It’d be better if you lost that mouth of yours!”
A posture as if to swallow someone alive whole.
Helian Lu sighed, “Can’t you be a little milder?
No wonder you can’t find a wife at the age of twenty-eight.”
“…”
“Young Master Ye, do you have any concerns?”
Jiang Yan’s attitude was always neither cold nor hot, yet just right, making it impossible to pick faults.
Therefore, even if Ye Jiuqing disliked him, there was nothing he could do.
He pushed his tongue against his back molars, his thin lips curving into a sinister, faint smile: “I have no concerns, I just simply don’t want to sell to you, is that not allowed?”
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yan chuckled lightly: “You don’t want to sell to me?
Then Young Master Ye still has concerns, why not speak them out?”
Ye Jiuqing’s blue eyes were as deep as the ocean, making one dizzy from just a glance.
His gaze was sharp and unyielding: “I’m curious, you’re a businessman, what use do you have for firearms?”
Jiang Yan replied methodically: “People are multifaceted, and so naturally can an identity be.
Just like you, Young Master Ye, on the surface, you are the leader of the mafia, but how many identities you have behind you, I suppose I need not spell it out, right?”
Ye Jiuqing’s eyebrows tightened subtly without a change in expression.
This man before him was even more scheming.
But how did that matter?
This was his turf.
Ye Jiuqing’s blue eyes carried a sinister aura, the corners of his mouth lifting into a bizarre, evil smile.
“Heh, I said I won’t sell, and I won’t!”
“Also, do you know what Su He and I are to each other?”
Jiang Yan: “I know, the relationship between senior brother and sister.”
Ye Jiuqing laughed upon hearing this.
“Are you sure?”
Jiang Yan did not respond, instead, he slightly raised his eyebrows, signaling him to continue.
“She probably never told you that she was my first woman, did she?” Ye Jiuqing’s blue eyes flickered with mockery.
“Pfft…”
Helian Lu, who was drinking water on the side, suddenly heard such a shocking statement and couldn’t help but spit it out.
He even choked and coughed a few times.
The originally serious and eerie atmosphere turned somewhat comical at that moment.
“Cough, Ye Jiuqing, are you getting crude?” Helian Lu opened his eyes wide, curiously looking at the gloomy-faced man and laughed unabashedly: “F*ck!
When did this happen?
How did I not know about such a big deal?”
Ye Jiuqing’s fair and bewitching face tensed severely.
If possible, he wished he could shoot this guy in front of him!
“Either shut the hell up or get the hell out!”
Helian Lu awkwardly said, “What did my mouth do to you?
I’ve never been ousted like that before; perhaps you could demonstrate how?”
Ye Jiuqing pressed his tongue against his cheek, almost rolling his eyes.
Damn it!
Helian Lu was just running his mouth and didn’t push it further.
Jiang Yan remained unchanged in expression, calmly saying: “Then it seems I know a different person than you do.
My wife and I are each other’s first love, we met when we were very young, and got married at the legal age.
Just that in the past few years, we both were busy with our careers and seldom met.
Although we met infrequently, I trust my wife’s character, and also, I’ve always been the man in her heart.”
The man, though seeming calm on the surface, exuded a strong sense of possessiveness.
Every word he spoke seemed to convey to Ye Jiuqing that “Su He has always been my wife.”
Ye Jiuqing looked at Jiang Yan’s face and suddenly thought of that child.
And to speak of it, he quite resembled him.
He snorted with a laugh: “But during that time, it was me who was with her.
You wouldn’t know, she usually has a cold demeanor, but under me, she was shy like a blooming bud, enchantingly beautiful.
These four years, we were inseparable, like glue.
A few months ago, she returned to the country; was it to divorce you?
That’s because she agreed to marry me.”
Ye Jiuqing became more excited as he spoke, seeing Jiang Yan’s usually unflappable eyes starting to ripple with disturbance.
Helian Lu watched, stunned.
What was this guy thinking?
“Ah-choo!”
Su He and others were navigating through the jungle when suddenly she felt a tickle in her nose and sneezed twice in succession.
“Boss, are you okay?” Bai Yang asked somewhat worriedly.
“I’m fine, we’re almost there, let’s pick up the pace.” She raised her hand, rubbed her nose bridge, and spoke in a low voice.
“…”
Ten minutes later.
The four of them emerged from the jungle.
Subsequently, they were adeptly led by Su He to the back of a villa.
Su He lowered her voice and said, “Just wait outside, I’ll go in by myself.”
Fei Yang: “Young Madam, let me go instead, if anything happens to you, we won’t be able to explain it to Master.”
Su He spoke without any superfluous words: “I know this villa better than any of you, and even if I’m found, they won’t do anything to me, but it’s different for you.”
Fei Yang wanted to say something, but Bai Yang covered his mouth and whispered in his ear, “Just listen to our boss, alright?”
Fei Yang: “…”
Everyone hid in the shadows, watching Su He’s slender figure moving swiftly through the night.
Her movements were agile, and she disappeared in a flash due to her incredible speed.
Fei Yang and Fei Yue kept their eyes fixed on that fleeting shadow, both of them stunned once more.
They hadn’t expected Su He to be so skilled.
For a moment, both felt that they couldn’t match her speed.
Su He went around to the other side of the villa and climbed up to the second floor balcony via the pipe.
It was a guest room in the villa.
The room was pitch-dark.
She gently pushed open the French window and stepped inside with graceful steps.
There were no servants in Young Master Ye’s villa because he didn’t like having them around, so apart from himself, no one came to the villa.
The servants would only come to clean when he was not present.
However, there were many cameras.
But, to prevent her from hacking the surveillance on Zhu Feng Island, he had almost all the cameras on the island turned off.
Just in case, she still took out a modified mini computer from her tactical jacket pocket.
After confirming that the villa’s surveillance system was turned off, she then opened the room door and stepped out.
Being familiar with the villa’s layout, she quickly searched inside and out but didn’t find Su Yimo.
She even searched the villa’s basement but didn’t see any trace of the little guy.
Her brows slightly furrowed.
Where had Ye Jiuqing hidden the little guy?
…
“Jiang Yan, in reality, you and Su He don’t have much of a relationship.
Otherwise, why didn’t you appear when she was pregnant?”
“It was me who was with her from pregnancy to childbirth.
Where were you then, huh?”
Ye Jiuqing’s lips curled up with a mocking smile.
“Actually, you probably don’t even know that she was kidnapped once during her pregnancy.
That time, she nearly lost the baby, although I wish that the baby had died during the kidnapping, unfortunately, someone else died for him.”
His tone was gloomy and cold, his words heartless.
Hearing this, Jiang Yan knitted his brows slightly.
Indeed, he knew nothing about this matter.
During those four years, he had restrained himself from inquiry about her.
It was to avoid too much contact and connection with her.
The matters from the past were still unclear, and he had a lot to handle during those four years, plus he could not let others see his vulnerability.
Jiang Yan tightened his eyelids for a fraction of a second then swiftly returned to calm.
Looking at Ye Jiuqing’s smug smile, Jiang Yan seemed unaffected.
“It seems I should really thank Young Master Ye for taking care of my wife these past few years.
As a token of gratitude, I am willing to pay double the price for this deal,” the man said nonchalantly and generously.
He paused briefly then added, “However, no matter how these four years have been, she has always been my wife.
She was in the past, she is now, and she will be in the future!”
The man’s deep black eyes met his overly seductive blue eyes, his presence overwhelmingly powerful.
In terms of aura, actually, neither was inferior to the other.
Jiang Yan’s edge was controllable, while Ye Jiuqing’s was always out in the open.
When it comes to staying calm, naturally, Jiang Yan was better.
Whatever Ye Jiuqing said, he kept his composure, at most only slightly furrowing his brows.
Helian Lu had the most say in this.
He watched as Ye Jiuqing got furious due to Jiang Yan’s words.
He suddenly stood up with a “swoosh”.
“You’re talking shit!”
“She can only be mine!”
Ye Jiuqing glared at the calm man across from him.
Helian Lu: “…”
“In this day and age, are we so blatant and righteous about stealing someone else’s wife?” he muttered softly.
But even if he spoke softly, in such a small space and distance, anyone not deaf could hear.
“Bang!”
Ye Jiuqing kicked the table in the center, making a loud noise.
Jiang Yan sat firmly, his expression unflustered.
Helian Lu patted his chest, “Crap!
Can’t you be gentle?
How many times have I told you?
With your temper, what woman would want you?
Who isn’t afraid of domestic violence these days?”
“With your fiery temper, not only women, even men would run away upon seeing you.”
Helian Lu’s mouth was freaking noisy; he shot him a glance, his gaze dark and menacing: “Shut up!”
Helian Lu pouted and made a zipping motion with his hand.
Just then, a ringtone sounded.
Jiang Yan calmly took out his phone.
Seeing it was Su He calling, he didn’t hesitate to answer.
“Hello.”
Moreover, his tone softened as he spoke.
Upon hearing this, Helian Lu’s eyes lit up instantly, gazing at Jiang Yan who was on the phone, his eyes gleaming with the light of gossip.
At this moment, Su He was still in Ye Jiuqing’s villa.
She was in the same room where Su Yimo had been detained; she found the little guy’s green hat there.
That was enough proof that the little guy had been here.
“Husband, the baby isn’t at Zhu Feng Island, I suspect Ye Jiuqing took him away too, have you guys left yet?”
Su He spoke somewhat anxiously, so she didn’t notice that she had subconsciously changed her way of addressing Jiang Yan.
The man’s thin lips curved slightly, but a peculiar look flashed through his eyes.
Because Su He wasn’t in the hotel, it looked like she must have followed them to Zhu Feng Island.
He hadn’t expected her to stay obediently at the hotel.
“Alright, got it.”
After speaking, he hung up the phone.
Immediately after, he sent a message with a calm expression then put away his phone.
Jiang Yan looked up at Ye Jiuqing and smiled, “Young Master Ye, what would it take for you to sell the goods to me?”
Seeing him steer the conversation back, Ye Jiuqing’s fury heightened.
“I’ve said I’m not selling, are you deaf?”
“Why not?”
“I just don’t like you, is that reason enough?”
Jiang Yan, not mincing words, said, “Okay, then you should be able to sell to Helian Lu, right?”
Ye Jiuqing: “What do you mean?”
Jiang Yan: “You sell to Helian Lu, and then he resells to me.
That way you won’t be annoyed, and you’ll even make some money.”
“…”
At the east side of the pier.
In a small metal hut, Su Yimo was sitting inside, staring down a man.
“I need to go to the restroom.”
The man, visibly annoyed, said, “Just do it right here.”
“No, I want to go to the restroom, otherwise let me out.
Our teacher said that we shouldn’t relieve ourselves just anywhere in the room, otherwise we’re not good children.”
Su Yimo’s eyes twinkled, “If you don’t let me go, I’ll dirty my pants, and I’ll cry very loudly.”
The man couldn’t win over him, thinking he was just a little kid without much cunning, so he let him go.
The man took him out to an open space outside.
“Do it here, quickly.”
“Okay.”
The little guy leisurely pulled down his pants and squatted.
The man glanced at him, before he could speak, Su Baobao looked up innocently, “Uncle, I need to defecate, could you get me some toilet paper?”
The man frowned upon hearing that: “Such a little brat, so freaking much trouble!”
Then, a strange odor began to spread.
The man covered his nose, disgusted, “Wait, I’ll get it for you.”
As the man turned around, Su Baobao took out a few tissues from his pocket.
By the time the man came back, Su Baobao had disappeared.
Fuck!
The man searched around but couldn’t find him.
He immediately called Ye Jiuqing.
On the cruise ship, receiving the call, Ye Jiuqing instinctively glanced at Jiang Yan.
Jiang Yan met his gaze, but nothing could be read from him.
Ye Jiuqing gritted his teeth: “Search, if you can’t find him, don’t bother coming back!”
“Yes, Young Master Jiuqing.”
