The cruise restricted area, Meng Yiren and Lu Xing got into an argument.
Meng Yiren said angrily, "I've searched every corner of this cruise ship and can't find Yan Jue. He must be on board."
"Captain, they're blocking this area, there must be something fishy. They might be harming my boyfriend, you have to help me." Su Dan Novel Network
Yes, Meng Yiren had summoned the captain.
Unfortunately, the captain greeted Lu Xing politely.
"So it's Mr. Lu, may I ask why you are surrounding the restricted area?"
Lu Xing had already made arrangements with the captain, landing the helicopter on the cruise ship. They were acquainted.
Lu Xing said, "My boss is enjoying the scenery up there and doesn't like to be disturbed."
"Oh... this restricted area has safety hazards, it's indeed safer with more people on guard. However, you still need to remind your boss to come down soon and be careful."
"Of course."
...
Chatting idly, the captain turned to leave.
"Hey, you haven't solved my problem yet, you can't leave," Meng Yiren pressed.
The captain was very speechless and was about to find an excuse to dismiss her when he suddenly saw the person she was looking for appear.
"There, the person you're looking for is over there. I've solved the problem, I'll be going now."
Following the captain's gaze, she saw Yan Jue, whom she had been searching for all night, finally appear.
His eyes rippled with doting waves as he thoughtfully helped Tang Xiaomin down the stairs.
After descending, their hands naturally intertwined, tightly clasped, looking intimate and sweet, like a couple in love.
That scene made Meng Yiren furious.
She stepped forward to confront him.
"Yan Jue, you disappeared for a night, I searched for you all night, I didn't even sleep."
"But you were being intimate with her behind my back, what do you mean?"
Yan Jue said calmly, "It's obvious, I'm with her."
He was blunt, not at all reserved.
Together, such a jarring phrase.
"I'm your girlfriend, how can you be with her? Do you want to have your cake and eat it too?"
Facing Meng Yiren's accusations, Yan Jue's gaze grew colder.
"Your one-sided story might not be true. Most importantly, my heart tells me I have no feelings for you."
"And I don't think I would like your type."
...
It was a heart-wrenching blow; she had schemed for everything but couldn't get the desired outcome.
Meng Yiren's feelings at this moment were indescribable.
"You don't believe my words, but you believe Tang Xiaomin's?"
"You haven't known her for more than twenty-four hours since you met. Why do you believe her and not me?"
Yan Jue's gaze sharpened, and he said coldly.
"What makes you so sure that this is our first meeting?"
This question was sharp and brutally stripped away Meng Yiren's pretense.
Smart people knew what was going on.
Meng Yiren's furious gaze fell on Tang Xiaomin.
"It was you, you deliberately sowed discord between us!"
Tang Xiaomin sneered inwardly, feeling helpless.
If she had openly sowed discord, it would have been counterproductive.
"You're overthinking it."
She wasn't as foolish as Meng Yiren.
"It must have been you!"
Meng Yiren said agitatedly to Yan Jue, "Yan Jue, don't believe her. She's best at sowing discord. She's torn her own family apart, she's a bad person."
"Yan Jue, you must not be deceived by her..."
"Enough!" Yan Jue rebuked.
"She hasn't said anything. On the other hand, you have many flaws."
"Yan Jue, I didn't."
"I really didn't. I saved you. If I had bad intentions, I could have just left you there."
"Yan Jue, think about it carefully, isn't that right."
...
Yan Jue didn't want to listen to Meng Yiren's sophistry anymore, finding it annoying.
He pulled Tang Xiaomin and left without looking back.
Meng Yiren, unwilling to give up, tried to pursue them, but several fierce-looking men in black immediately surrounded her.
"Lu Xing, what are you doing?"
Lu Xing said impatiently, "After Mr. Yan went through a great tribulation, Zhong Li and I personally searched the scene carefully and did not find him."
"I presume you must have taken him away before us."
"Now Mr. Yan has amnesia. I don't think it's a side effect of his tribulation. Erasing memories is your specialty. Based on what you just said, this matter is your doing."
Lu Xing's ability to be trusted by Yan Jue was undeniable, and his reasoning skills were unquestionable.
Meng Yiren's face turned pale, as if she had been severely struck.
"You're making things up, I don't know what you're talking about."
"Besides, even if I took Yan Jue, I did save him once."
"After he met Tang Xiaomin, would he forget his benefactor and turn against me, his rescuer?"
Lu Xing shook his head repeatedly, utterly speechless.
"Stop right there, it's too early to talk about ingratitude."
"Whether you saved him or harmed him, I will thoroughly investigate. You'd better pray that you were kind and truly had no ulterior motives."
"Otherwise, your fate will be the most tragic."
Meng Yiren sensed something was wrong and intended to escape.
Lu Xing was prepared and had his men surround her.
Just as she was about to run, she was handcuffed with dark, cold chains.
"This is the Soul-Snatching Lock. As long as something belongs to the underworld, you cannot break free. Give up any thoughts of escaping."
"Take her away!"
"Lu Xing, I've known you for years, you can't treat me like this."
"Lu Xing, no!"
...
Listening to Meng Yiren's wails, Lu Xing sighed and muttered to himself.
"I gave you a chance to start over, but you were ungrateful and chose the worst path."
"You refused the path to heaven and forced your way into hell, harming yourself and others."
...
The helicopter left the luxury cruise ship and flew towards the direction of Modu.
Upon landing, it was already four in the afternoon.
Tang Xiaomin brought Yan Jue home.
This was also the first time she had voluntarily brought Yan Jue back to the Tang family.
The greatest affirmation she could give him at the moment was to bring him home to meet her family.
"Sit down and rest. I'll make you some tea."
After making a cup of tea, Tang Xiaomin called everyone in her family to inform them to come back.
Then, she tied on an apron and threw herself into the kitchen.
Ten minutes later, the villa door opened, and a handsome man wearing a fedora walked in.
In the living room, the two men's eyes met, and they appraised each other with a complex gaze.
At this moment, Tang Xiaomin came out of the kitchen with a spoon, preparing to go to the warehouse to find seasonings.
Seeing an extra man in the living room, she was visibly stunned.
"Who are you? What's your business here?"
Upon hearing this, the man in the hat put on a stiff, triumphant smile.
"It's only been a while, and you don't recognize me."
