"No more... I don't want it, I was wrong..." Shen Jin choked out intermittently, constantly trying to spit out the medicine in his mouth.
"Swallow it quickly," the man pat...
Chapter 205 The Two Elope Together
Bai Yujin was in a bad mood. He stood there, scratching his head in frustration.
The people nearby didn't dare to go forward and provoke this bad luck.
A moment later, Bai Yujin turned to look at the men under his command, who immediately stood at attention, awaiting his instructions.
"Is there anything we can do for you, Mr. Bai?" someone asked respectfully.
"You all set out to sea immediately and chase after them," Bai Yujin said in a deep voice.
Upon hearing Bai Yujin's words, the group of people were momentarily stunned.
“But Mr. Bai…they’ve been gone for a long time.” After a while, someone answered hesitantly.
Moreover, they didn't know which direction the two people had gone. The sea was so vast; if they really started searching, who knew how long it would take?
"Is there a problem?" Bai Yujin slightly raised his eyes and glanced at them. "Let's set off quickly, maybe we can still catch up! Hurry up!"
“No problem,” the group replied immediately.
Bai Yujin let out a long breath, feeling a tightness in his chest, unable to go up or down, which was extremely uncomfortable.
"Find someone who knows how to sail to take you out to sea as quickly as possible," Bai Yujin continued to instruct.
"Yes!" the men quickly replied and turned to carry out the task.
After they all left, Bai Yujin took out his phone, opened his contacts, and his finger hovered over the screen. He hesitated for a long time but still didn't press the button.
He was now extremely conflicted and hesitant about whether or not he should tell the Rong and Yan families about this. They all thought Shen Jin and Yan Yu were dead, and they would definitely be very happy to hear the news from them now.
However, their actions today clearly indicated that they were deliberately avoiding them, not wanting anyone to know that they were still alive.
Thinking of this, Bai Yujin frowned even more.
I wonder if there are other reasons...
Finally, Bai Yujin withdrew his hand, sighed, and put down his phone.
Today, he actually watched them slip away right before his eyes, without even having a chance to say anything, he was so busy chasing after them that he almost got there... but they still managed to get away.
As Bai Yujin thought about it, he became increasingly frustrated. He clenched his fingers tightly, gripping the phone in his hand so hard that his knuckles turned slightly white.
Afterwards, Bai Yujin stayed by the sea for a long time before returning home.
Bai Yujin was anxious all day, wondering if his men had found them yet.
If it weren't for the circumstances, he would have loved to go find them himself.
That evening, someone called. Bai Yujin had been waiting for this call for a long time, and he answered it immediately as soon as the phone rang.
"So, did you find it?" Bai Yujin asked immediately as soon as the call connected.
There was a moment of silence on the other end.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Bai, we didn't know their destination, so... it's our incompetence that we couldn't catch up." After a while, a voice rang out.
The ocean is so vast, who knows where they might go?
Bai Yujin's last glimmer of hope vanished instantly, replaced by a sense of gloom.
If we fail to capture Shen Jin this time, we may never see him again.
It's unclear why the two of them acted this way.
"Okay, I understand. You guys come back first." In the end, Bai Yujin could only sigh and say.
"Yes," the man quickly replied.
Bai Yujin then hung up the call.
Three days later, Bai Yujin began working on a project he had come to this city for, and went out to sea with several other CEOs.
At the port, the ship was ready, and there were quite a few people going out to sea with Bai Yujin, more than a dozen in total, making up a whole ship.
Bai Yujin, dressed in a sharp suit, stood by the sea, his hair slightly disheveled by the salty sea breeze, but he had no interest in fixing it.
I wonder where those two people went by boat now, and how they are doing. Have they landed, or are they still at sea?
Tsk.
At this moment, someone called out to Bai Yujin.
Bai Yujin snapped out of his daze and looked up to see someone on the boat waving at him: "President Bai, come over quickly, the boat is about to set sail!"
"Okay." Bai Yujin replied, put his hands in his pockets, and boarded the boat.
"Mr. Bai, let's have a meeting here later to discuss how to implement the first phase of the project," someone said to Bai Yujin as soon as he boarded the ship.
Hearing his words, Bai Yujin slightly raised his eyes and glanced at him.
Bai Yujin then nodded and replied, "Okay."
In the past three days, the sudden appearance and disappearance of those two people has made him think of a bunch of random possibilities, and he has even become less attentive to his work.
Once aboard the ship, Bai Yujin went to the deck. The others hadn't arrived yet. Bai Yujin leaned against the ship's railing, enjoying the sea breeze.
Before long, everyone gathered together.
"Come on, let's discuss this," someone said.
Bai Yujin then withdrew his gaze from the sea and turned to walk towards the group.
Afterwards, the group sat down around a table on the deck and began discussing the upcoming maritime project.
"Let's first ask Mr. Bai to share his thoughts," someone said with a smile after a moment.
So everyone turned to look at Bai Yujin.
Bai Yujin's expression remained unchanged, still calm.
"Our destination this time is an isolated island in this sea, Liangdong Island. Our project will also be carried out on Liangdong Island. This project involves a very large investment and has low risk, so I think the Liangdong Island project absolutely cannot go wrong." Bai Yujin spoke directly and solemnly, stating his thoughts.
The other investors listened quietly.
Afterwards, everyone shared their opinions and talked about work, which eventually turned into a casual chat.
"Did you know that Liangdong Island has a very long history?" A CEO said, sipping his coffee and chatting with several others.
"Really? What's the story behind it?" the others chimed in with laughter.
"Yes, what's the story? Tell us about it."
Everyone was chatting enthusiastically, but Bai Yujin had no interest in these idle chatter and stared blankly at the sea.
"This story is about a love story. It's about a junior assassin who tries to assassinate the crown prince but ends up falling in love with him instead," the man replied with a smile.
Bai Yujin was still staring blankly at the deep blue sea.
No one knows where Shen Jin will go, what he will do, or what those people with Shen Jin are doing.
So many mysteries had taken root in Bai Yujin's mind. He had been pondering this question for the past few days.
Those people were still telling stories about Liangdong Island.
The story was almost over when Bai Yujin finally caught up with a few fragmented snippets.
"Anyway, this Liangdong Island is where that little assassin later went into seclusion."
Listening to their words, Bai Yujin smiled slightly, then continued to look at the sea, his thoughts drifting away.
Meanwhile, on the other side...
Yan Yu and Shen Jin have been at sea for three days. During these three days, they have temporarily ignored their encounter with Bai Yujin in the city and have had a great time, enjoying the scenery at sea.
"Ah Jin, come and see!" A tomb raider's voice came from the deck.
Shen Jin quickly responded and then came out of the cabin and headed towards the deck.
Yan Yu also hurriedly followed, but compared to Shen Jin, Yan Yu's face looked a little pale. Everyone had a lot of fun over the past three days, and Shen Jin was also very happy.
However, Yan Yu felt very unwell because he not only couldn't swim, but also got seasick. Today was the third day on the ship, and Yan Yu had only just barely adapted. At least he didn't vomit bile like he did on the first day after boarding the ship.
Shen Jin quickly arrived at the deck, where the tomb raider was. Yan Yu followed behind, but his movements were somewhat slower than Shen Jin's.
"What's the matter?" Shen Jin quickly went over and asked the tomb raider.
As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Jin froze.
Many seagulls perched on the railing in front of the tomb raider. The tomb raider crumbled some bread into crumbs and scattered them on the railing, which the seagulls pecked at incessantly.
“Look, it’s a seagull.” The tomb raider turned around, glanced at Shen Jin, and said with a smile.
He knew that Shen Jin would definitely like these seagulls, so he immediately called Shen Jin over.
In fact, Shen Jin really liked them and thought the seagulls were extremely cute.
"What adorable seagulls! Aren't they afraid of people?" Shen Jin cautiously stepped forward and asked.
At this moment, Yan Yu also came over. Seeing that Shen Jin was carefully heading towards the seagulls, he quickly stopped and didn't want to disturb him.
"These seagulls often eat the food that people feed them, so don't worry, they won't be afraid," the tomb raider smiled and answered Shen Jin.
He had already learned about these things before he went out to sea, so he stood at the railing for a while and attracted a flock of seagulls.
Hearing the tomb raider's answer, Shen Jin felt a little relieved and cautiously walked over. Sure enough, the seagulls did not fly away.
"Here, have a try." The tomb raider handed the bread in his hand to Shen Jin.
“Okay.” Shen Jin took the bread and replied.
Then, Shen Jin carefully pinched off a small piece of bread, crushed it into crumbs in his hand, and placed it on the railing. The seagulls immediately surrounded him.
Seeing so many seagulls circling around his hand, Shen Jin was at a loss and dared not move.
After a while, Shen Jin chuckled and said, "This is so much fun."
Upon hearing Shen Jin say it was fun, Yan Yu, who was not far away, smiled slightly and quietly watched Shen Jin's smile.
"These seagulls are so cute!" Shen Jin said with a smile as he looked at them.
As he spoke, Shen Jin pinched out some more breadcrumbs and sprinkled them on the railing.
A flock of seagulls were pecking at the food on the railing, working very hard.
After a while, once the seagulls had eaten most of the breadcrumbs, Shen Jin's hands were full of breadcrumbs.
Just as it was about to place it back on the railing, the movement suddenly stopped.
A moment later, Shen Jin seemed to suddenly think of something fun, and scattered the breadcrumbs in his hand into the air. The seagulls immediately took flight and surrounded the breadcrumbs.
For a moment, the scene looked spectacular.
Seeing Shen Jin having fun, Yan Yu was also happy. He just watched quietly from the side without saying a word.
Afterwards, Shen Jin played with the seagulls for a long time until they were full and flew away.
The ship sailed at a leisurely pace. Chen Jin seemed to be in a good mood, often gazing out at the sea, watching the rolling waves and the fish in the water.
There are many fish in the sea, and many of them are ones that Chen Jin has never seen before, making it particularly novel.
Yan Yu leaned against the railing with Shen Jin, watching the fish in the sea, but he felt a little dizzy. Although he had taken seasickness medicine, he still couldn't avoid feeling unwell.
Shen Jin turned to look at Yan Yu, then looked back at the sea.
"If you're not feeling well, go back and rest." A moment later, Shen Jin's voice reached Yan Yu's ears.
Upon hearing Shen Jin's words, Yan Yu paused for a moment before immediately replying, "I'm fine."
If it weren't for seasickness, Yan Yu would have been quite happy, because, in his wishful thinking, he couldn't help but imagine that they had been chased by Bai Yujin and had now reached this side of the sea...
It's almost like the two of them eloping together...
Of course, he could only think these thoughts to himself and enjoy them; if he said them out loud, Shen Jin would definitely be unhappy.
Seeing Yan Yu say this, Shen Jin pursed his lips and didn't say anything more. After all, he himself felt that everything was fine, so why should he say anything more?
After a while, the other tomb raiders, who had nothing else to do, came over and started chatting with Shen Jin. Yan Yu watched them from the side, occasionally chiming in with a few words.
Putting aside the fact that he was feeling a little unwell due to seasickness, he was already very happy to be able to have such a normal chat with Shen Jin.
"What's the name of this fish?" Shen Jin asked the tomb raider next to him, pointing to a group of fish swimming together.
"Take it back a little, or you'll fall," the tomb raider warned Shen Jin, then looked down at the group of fish Shen Jin was pointing to.
After watching for a while, the tomb raider chuckled: "We've seen this kind of fish before, but we don't know what it's called. It's quite delicious."
Hearing the tomb raider say it was delicious, Shen Jin suddenly found it amusing.
"You've eaten this before?" Shen Jin asked, somewhat surprised.
"Yes, that's right." The tomb raider nodded with a smile, "We just catch them and roast them to eat."
Listening to the tomb raider's words, Shen Jin found it very interesting.
Afterwards, they continued chatting for a while until the wind picked up and the waves became quite large, at which point everyone went back to the cabin to rest.
Since we weren't going to the island by plane, and the island was quite far away and would take some time to get there, we had to stay on the boat until then.
However, no one was in a hurry; they were all taking their time, since they could enjoy the scenery from the sea anyway.
The tomb raiders bought a map of the sea, and combined it with the ancient map they found in the tomb last time, they have roughly determined the location of the island.
The island had an ancient name called Liangdong Island, but they didn't know exactly why it was named that.
As evening fell and the sea calmed down, everyone came out of the cabin and onto the deck to play.
"We're bored anyway, let's have a barbecue together," one of the tomb raiders said, bringing out a barbecue grill.
They bought a complete range of things because they were planning to stay at sea for many days. If I brought too much food, drinks, and entertainment, I would definitely be bored to death.
Upon hearing his words, everyone else gathered around.
"Great, great, great! I love your barbecue the most!" a newborn child exclaimed in praise.
Everyone else chimed in.
So the barbecue ingredients were quickly set up, and everyone started working together to prepare the barbecue.
Shen Jin and Yan Yu were in charge of washing the vegetables. The two squatted together, washing the vegetables and meat that would be used for the barbecue later with clean water.
The two of them washed in silence, neither of them speaking, and for a moment, the atmosphere was somewhat quiet.
Finally, Yan Yu broke the silence: "The sea is quite fun."
Upon hearing Yan Yu's words, Shen Jin remained silent.
He clearly gets seasick so badly, so this statement sounds obviously false.
Seeing that Shen Jin ignored him, Yan Yu stopped talking and silently washed the vegetables with Shen Jin.
"It's quite fun." In the end, Shen Jin answered Yan Yu's question.
Yan Yu paused for a moment, then smiled slightly, not expecting Shen Jin to answer him.
"Hurry up and wash, everyone's waiting to eat." Before Yan Yu could say anything more, Shen Jin spoke up again.
Yan Yu immediately nodded and replied, "Okay."
So Yan Yu sped up the washing of the vegetables and washed them very carefully.
Shen Jin glanced at Yan Yu, pursed his lips, and then diligently washed the vegetables.
Before long, the vegetables were washed, and the two of them skewered them with bamboo sticks and took them out for the others to grill.
"Alright, alright, you can all just wait to eat," the tomb raider in charge of grilling said to everyone.
Everyone responded excitedly and then waited for his barbecue to be ready.
The aroma quickly filled the air, and before long, many barbecue dishes were ready.
Someone brought out several cases of beer, and everyone sat in a circle, drinking beer and eating barbecue.
Yan Yu ate a few skewers of barbecue silently, but he didn't have much of an appetite because of seasickness.
The others noticed the weariness in Yan Yu's expression and said to him, "Why don't you go back and rest first?"
Upon hearing the tomb raider's words, Shen Jin, who was sitting next to Yan Yu, also turned to look at Yan Yu.
"It's alright, I'm fine," Yan Yu shook his head and replied.
He's been patient and will eventually adapt; things are much better than before now.
On his first day at sea, they knew he was seasick, and Shen Jin and the others had already tried to dissuade him, but he insisted on coming, so they had to endure it no matter how uncomfortable he was.
"Alright, but if it's really too uncomfortable, don't force yourself, just take a rest." Seeing Yan Yu's persistence, the viewers in the live chat stopped trying to persuade him.
"Okay, I understand." Yan Yu nodded in response.
After that, the tomb raiders didn't say anything more and continued eating barbecue with the others.
Yan Yuqiang suppressed the discomfort in his stomach and ate some more barbecue.
There's still some distance to Liangdong Island, and he'll have to get used to it soon.
Shen Jin watched Yan Yu trying to hold on, and felt a strange emotion in his heart, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what it was.
"Aren't you seasick? Eating something so greasy will only make you feel worse," Shen Jin finally said.
Upon hearing Shen Jin's words, Yan Yu was slightly taken aback, then smiled at Shen Jin.
"It's alright," Yan Yu replied.
Shen Jin looked at Yan Yu for a while, especially at Yan Yu's smile, and felt a little awkward. Then he looked away and didn't say anything more.
Afterwards, Shen Jin continued to eat his barbecue in a sullen manner.
While eating, Shen Jin suddenly remembered that he had seen many fish in the sea that day, and he remembered that there were fishing rods and bait on the boat.
"Can I go fishing?" Shen Jin put down what he was holding and asked.
Upon hearing Shen Jin's words, everyone turned to look at him, and Yan Yu did the same.
"You want to go fishing?" someone asked after a moment.
“Yes.” Shen Jin smiled and answered him, his face full of excitement.
He had never tried fishing before, and now that he finally had the chance, he naturally wanted to give it a try.
Another tomb raider took a bite of barbecue and mumbled, "Why the sudden urge to go fishing?"
Shen Jin thought for a moment and replied, "I don't know, I just want to try it out. We can catch some and grill it, right? We're having a barbecue right now, wouldn't it be nice to try some fish from the sea?"
Upon hearing Shen Jin's answer, the tomb raiders nodded in agreement; they also wanted to eat grilled fish.
“I think this is a good idea,” one of the tomb raiders nodded in agreement.
No one else had any objections or tried to stop Chen Jin. Besides, fishing on the boat shouldn't be dangerous, as long as they didn't climb over the railings.
"Then I'll go get the fishing rod." Shen Jin chuckled and got up to get the fishing rod and bait.
"Okay, go quickly," the tomb raider hurriedly said to Shen Jin.
Shen Jin smiled and walked towards where the things were.
Yan Yu watched Shen Jin's actions, hesitated for a moment, and then followed.
"Wait for me," Yan Yu said to Shen Jin.
Seeing the two of them, the tomb raiders laughed again.
Just as Shen Jin came out with his tools to start fishing, one of the tomb raiders warned him, "Be careful, watch your safety!"
“Okay!” Shen Jin replied.
Afterwards, Shen Jin began to study how to use the fishing rod.
Shen Jin pulled out the folded fishing rod, which was not attached to any fishing line. After looking at it for a while, Shen Jin wanted to find some fishing line.
"The fishing line is here." Yan Yu had already taken the fishing line.
Upon hearing Yan Yu's words, Shen Jin was slightly taken aback, then reached out and took the fishing line: "Thank you."
"Let me help you pack it," Yan Yu said tentatively, glancing at Shen Jin.
Shen Jin paused for a moment as he reached for the fishing line, then withdrew his hand and handed the fishing rod he was holding in his other hand to Yan Yu.
Seeing Shen Jin's actions, Yan Yu smiled and immediately took the fishing rod, helping Shen Jin tie the fishing line.
After tying the fishing line and hook, Yan Yu handed the fishing rod to Shen Jin, who took it.
"Alright, go and rest," Shen Jin said, taking the fishing rod from him.
Hearing Shen Jin's words, Yan Yu immediately shook his head: "Shen Jin, I want to go with you."
Shen Jin looked at Yan Yu for a while. Although he knew Yan Yu meant well, he didn't even consider his own condition. He wasn't feeling well, so he shouldn't be so reckless, or he would only cause trouble for others.
"No need, you should go and rest." Shen Jin raised his eyelids and glanced at him. "There's nothing interesting about fishing."
Thinking back to when Yan Yu was still his CEO, the life of a rich man probably included going to get off work and coming home, playing golf, and occasionally going fishing at sea with others.
But Yan Yu insisted on going with him.
Shen Jin's eyebrows twitched a few times. He felt that this person was becoming more and more unreasonable. He said in an annoyed tone, "You'd better take it easy, or we'll have to fish you out if you fall in later."
Yan Yu: "..."
