Lu Wanwan suddenly turned around, and a familiar tall figure imdiately ca into view.
His expression was like eternal ice, as if the blindingly hot sunlight around him could not disperse the chill.
"Gu Annan, listen to ." She didn’t have ti to consider his current emotions, "I’ll definitely explain to you later, but first, send soone to bring Wen Qiao back."
His dark eyes looked coldly and sharply at her, staring for a mont.
When Lu Wanwan looked at the sea again, she saw several ships already speeding across the water in the distance.
The sound of rapidly rotating rotors echoed from above, as several helicopters took off from the island and flew toward the distance.
The speedboat was already out of sight at the horizon where sea and sky t, but if Gu Annan sent soone to chase her, she believed it would be brought back.
"You’ve already sent soone..." Lu Wanwan breathed a sigh of relief. Facing his gaze again, her tone changed slightly, "I can explain these things."
"You really need to explain properly." He said with a slight curl of his thin lips, pointing to the car, "Get in the car first."
Lu Wanwan knew that being discovered by him now, rather than confessing herself, surely added so discomfort.
She got into the electric cart and quickly and simply recounted what had just happened.
"I also don’t know why Xiao Ye didn’t bring her back but drove away instead, maybe..." Lu Wanwan lowered her eyes, considering another possibility, "maybe it was Wen Qiao’s request."
It seems she hadn’t given up on leaving Ji Shaoyang even now.
After all, since the matter has been exposed, coming back now would make it difficult to find another opportunity to escape next ti.
She would rather risk being found by Cesar than ask a stranger to take her away?
Gu Annan got on the car and dialed the phone, his voice ice-cold, "Make sure to bring her back, no matter the cost."

The speedboat sped through the sea, Wen Qiao’s hair was blown into disarray by the sea wind, making her look more distressed.
"Thank you." Wen Qiao looked at the stranger beside her.
She initially thought he was sent by Ji Shaoyang or Gu Annan, because when she was brought onto the speedboat, she saw Lu Wanwan pleading with this person.
But he said it was Lu Wanwan who asked him to take her away.
"Is it alright to leave like this?" Wen Qiao said with a slight tremble, "I didn’t get a chance to pick up the passport she gave earlier."
Xiao Ye glanced at her and still said nothing.
Seeing his deanor, Wen Qiao knew he wasn’t easy to deal with, and since he wouldn’t answer these questions, she decided to drop it.
The speed of the speedboat was incredibly fast, and it wasn’t long before it veered towards a small deserted island ahead.
She found it odd, but rembering he said he was a friend of Lu Wanwan’s, she didn’t want to cause trouble and quietly followed him ashore onto the island.
Eventually, she noticed there were marks from the earlier shooting on the speedboat, guessing that the boat might not hold up much longer.
Wen Qiao followed him inward.
"The helicopter is just ahead." The person beside Xiao Ye whispered, at which Xiao Ye nodded slightly.
Wen Qiao felt a bit at ease, realizing there was indeed a helicopter here.
"Miss Qiao, are you tired?" Xiao Ye suddenly spoke, and his pace slowed a bit.
Wen Qiao frowned upon hearing this address, "Sir, I’m not tired, you..."
This address could only be used by soone close to a particular person.
Perhaps it was a coincidence, but she couldn’t help feeling a bit nervous inside.
"Qiao." A familiar yet cold voice like a midnight nightmare, with its unique accent, slowly ca from ahead, "Long ti no see."
