Chapter 413 What does missing mean?

The next second, the hatch opened again from the outside.

The captain brought two bowls of noodle soup and placed them on the dining table. "Second Master, the inspectors have disembarked. We'll be leaving in ten minutes."

Liang Chihui's arms still restrained He Sang. If he didn't move, she couldn't move either.

"The kitchen has cooked seafood noodles. I'm not sure if they suit your taste. The ingredients are fresh, so you can try them."

The captain handed him chopsticks, but he refused.

"What kind of seafood did you cook?"

"Shrimp and clams." The captain glanced at He Sang. "Assistant Fan told me that Miss He is pregnant, so I specially picked out seafood suitable for pregnant women to replenish her nutrition."

Liang Chihui lowered his eyes, "Are you hungry?"

He Sang followed his heartbeat, steadily and flexibly, penetrating her again and again.

Although his strength was not great, the muscles of his chest were broad and strong, so that He Sang was buried too deep and too tightly in his arms, and he could hardly breathe.

“Not hungry…”

She was so nervous that her face turned pale. Liang Chihui gently patted her back and said, "For the sake of the child, you have to eat even if you are not hungry."

"Yes, it's very hard for a pregnant woman to travel by boat. You've eaten well, so you have the strength to carry it," the captain advised her. "The harbor is shallow, the waves are small, and you don't feel it. But after an hour of sailing, when we enter the sea, the harbor is deep, the waves are big, and we'll be tossed around like that. That's not going to be comfortable."

He Sang knew that the piece of meat in her belly was Liang Chihui's bargaining chip, and she was Liang Chihui's hostage.

He would tie her up wherever he went.

Liang Chihui picked up the noodles, wrapped a clam meat in it, blew it cool and fed it to her lips, "Be obedient and force yourself to eat it."

She swallowed it without chewing, like swallowing medicine.

"You have to chew it, otherwise you'll get indigestion." He patiently soothed and coaxed, "Want to eat shrimp?"

He Sang shook his head, "I feel sick."

Liang Chihui paused, suddenly realizing something, and ordered the captain, "Cook a bowl of sea cucumber porridge, and use less salt. She doesn't eat shrimp."

"Okay." The captain tiptoed out of the cabin.

"Is he one of your men?"

"No." Liang Chihui obviously didn't want to say more. He just gave her a perfunctory no and remained silent.

Liang Chihui has a wide network of contacts, both in the business world and the black market. As for the officialdom, Liang Jing and Liang Jishen are better than him. Since ancient times, favors have been exchanged for connections. The captain took the risk to protect Liang Chihui, so he must have received favors from him and was returning the favor.

"He Sang." Liang Chihui suddenly called her name.

She froze.

"You were trying to expose me just now, weren't you."

A ray of light shone through the cabin window, and the scorching white waves and the evening sunlight entangled with each other, sprinkling on Liang Chihui's body, so secretive and cold.

"no."

"Really?" His voice was as clear and magnetic as ever. He didn't oppress or intimidate her, but he had a terrifying aura. "Once we get ashore in another province, someone will escort us out of the country. I'll allow you to have the child and treat you well. I'll give you whatever you want. The only condition is that you stay by my side wholeheartedly."

Liang Chihui was like the best of the best, gentle and elegant. Even in the face of adversity where good or bad luck was uncertain, he remained gentle and unhurried. He Sang began to feel unsure whether Liang Jishen was his match.

She said nothing, her whole body tense.

"Do you understand?" The man gently stroked her cheek, his expression filled with tenderness. "Don't even think about going back to the Third Brother. You've been with me for two months now. Even if he believes you're innocent, will the outside world believe it? Rumors will spread that you've had an affair with the two brothers and are unworthy of the bright and graceful Third Brother. As time goes by, won't he harbor resentment and bear a grudge?"

He Sang felt a chill in his chest.

She couldn't help but shudder.

Liang Chihui's eyes flashed with pity, and his lips touched her forehead, "I'm sorry, my words were too harsh."

He paused for a moment. "I just don't want you to betray me again, even though you're in Cao's camp."

The coldness seeped out of He Sang's bones, and he twitched uncontrollably.

Liang Chihui lifted her chin, gazing at her delicate and beautiful appearance, and a little bit of subtle stubbornness, "You have betrayed me three times. If you do it a fourth time, I'm not sure what I will do."

She fell back onto her back and into his eyes.

The twilight is deep, and he is deeper than the twilight.

"Some people love their children so much that they love everything about them. I'm not one of those people. I have no feelings for the child." He stroked her brow with his thumb. "I have feelings for the child's mother, so I accept everything she has. If she keeps draining my emotions and trampling on my boundaries, the child will only become more of an eyesore."

Liang Chihui stared at her like this for a long time, then hugged her tightly, as if to embed her into his bones.

He Sang watched the last ray of sunset disappear into the sea level.

......

Liang Jishen came out of Liang Jing's petition building and was greeted by Cheng Xun and Vice President Jiang. "The provincial government has summoned you to a meeting. They have a new task for you."

Cheng Xun opened his tablet's email inbox. "The vice-chairman of Heya Insurance Group is under investigation by the Anti-Corruption Bureau. It's mainly due to a trust fund scandal. This industry is treacherous, especially for the middle class and those who have just crossed the high-net-worth threshold. Many have lost everything. Most of the money has been transferred overseas, mostly to the United States and Australia, and recently to Southeast Asia and Malaysia. Insurance company executives have invested their money in overseas factories, tourism, and the beauty pageant industry. These areas are very convenient for money laundering."

Liang Jishen glanced through the email. "Was it from Lao Zhang?"

"He nominated you, and the provincial government made the decision after careful consideration." Vice President Jiang explained the inside story. "You'll be appointed Vice Chairman of Heya Insurance, working undercover. The provincial government will secretly support you with a large insurance order as a reward for your achievements, and your position will naturally be secured. At Heya, the better the performance of an executive, the more qualified they are to connect with foreign forces. There's a lot of money to be made overseas. The previous Vice Chairman made five million yuan in three months on a business trip. It was all hard-earned money! If it were recovered, it would be at least tens of billions."

Liang Jishen handed the tablet to Cheng Xun, "Dock, lock, freeze, and catch them all."

Vice President Jiang smiled and said, "You are an expert."

He buttoned up his suit and said, "I'm going to work at Heya, and you're in charge of Zhonghai Group?"

"How could I possibly be capable of taking on the leading role at Zhonghai?" Vice President Jiang waved his hand awkwardly. "Zhonghai has been nearly cleaned up, and the province has someone else to take your place."

Liang Jishen buttoned up his shirt and opened the car door. "Let's go to Bixi Mansion."

Just as Cheng Xun was about to start the engine, a Hongqi HS7 in glory blue drove into the compound from west to east and blocked his way.

"Third Brother." Zhao Kai got out of the car. "He Sang... is missing."

Liang Jishen's face grew colder and colder, as if frozen. "What do you mean by 'disappeared'?"
