Chapter 180 Haha, the Mo Sect is really something else!

Before Xiao Yichen could answer, the people from the Xiao family's Mo Clan arrived.

Soon, several speedboats sped over, drifting and stopping around them, splashing water everywhere. The sound of helicopter rotors grew louder as they approached from afar.

"..."

Fang Ke was caught off guard and was drenched in water, feeling completely refreshed.

She spat out the water with a blank expression, coldly observing the scene, as if hundreds of Interpol agents had been deployed to apprehend a wanted criminal.

"Hehe, the Mo Sect is really something."

As Fang Ke spoke, she released Xiao Yichen and even straightened his collar.

Xiao Yichen: "..."

"Mr. Xiao, you're not angry, are you?"

Seeing that he was staring at him fiercely, Fang Jian continued to laugh and said, "You can get angry about this? Then why don't you turn yourself over and over and whip your corpse?"

"I was just doing what you did. You can't be so hypocritical, don't you think?"

Xiao Yichen's expression froze, clearly indicating that he had been hit where it hurt again.

He clutched his chest and coughed violently, his whole body arching, while his men had already boarded the ship.

"Young Master!"

Xiao Yichen waved his hand to tell them not to come closer. He was leaning against the railing of the ship's side, one long leg bent, and had been panting for a long time. Only after his breathing gradually calmed down did he look up at Fang Ke.

After a long silence, he finally spoke, his pale lips pressed together, "You said you were in a car accident, when?"

Fang Ke lifted his eyelids. "What? Don't tell me you're targeting me just because I was in a car accident and my memory is messed up? What's wrong with you, young master?"

Xiao Yichen remained silent, as if he had thought of some difficult point, his brows furrowing more and more tightly.

Fang Ke sat on the speedboat with her legs crossed, watching the men in black suits carefully help Xiao Yichen up.

Two men with fierce-looking faces and cold expressions were staring at Fang Ke warily. One of them even had his hand on his waist, as if he could pull out a weapon and point it at Fang Ke's head at any moment.

Xiao Yichen simply said, "Let her go."

They dared not disobey, and only glanced coldly at Fang Ke, "...Yes."

Everyone took Xiao Yichen with them and quickly withdrew, leaving Fang Ke alone in this sea area once again.

Fang Ke was quite tired after all that activity that afternoon, especially the rapid descent after jumping into the sea, which had taken a huge toll on her physical strength.

She lay on her back on the deck, quietly for half an hour. The sky was still clear and blue, but the sun slowly emitted an orange halo, and a large expanse of romantic sunset clouds appeared. It was sunset.

Only then did Little B dare to catch her breath and say, "Thank goodness, I thought it would immediately turn into negative infinity. Xiao Yichen's favorability fluctuated, but thankfully it remained the same."

Fang Ke found it amusing, "How much fluctuation are you talking about?"

"...fluctuations within plus or minus 1 point are actually equivalent to no movement."

Little B was furious, "Are people's hearts made of stone?"

“.

Fang Ke recalled the prompt the main system gave her that day over the Alps.

[Xiao Yichen is an extremely shrewd and suspicious person. Although your suspicions have been temporarily shaken, you remain his primary suspect.]

Fang Ke chuckled dismissively, "Let's take a gamble."

Little B quickly put on a smile and asked, "Do you have some plans?"

"My plan is complete."

Little B: "?"

No, your plan was to lure people to the deep sea, kick them off the ship, and leave them to struggle desperately in the ocean, nearly dying – that was your plan!

Little B couldn't believe it. "If he can increase his favorability rating by going back like this, what kind of ultimate masochist would he be?"

Fang Ke lazily raised her eyebrows, seemingly unconcerned, and said, "Just wait and see."

When she drove the speedboat back to the cruise ship, she was met with a barrage of angry words from Su Xiaohe.

Where did you run off to?!

"You just left hundreds of thousands of viewers in the live stream standing there like that!?"

"I've received so many complaints that my phone is practically ringing off the hook, you know that?!"

"Chasing dolphins? You think you're chasing ghosts? Where are there dolphins in Binhai? Find me and I'll eat shit!"

Fang Ke: "...There's no need to work so hard."

"You still dare to grin like that!"

Su Xiaohe was so angry he could hardly breathe, and finally he could only say, "Don't you dare act on your own again! What if there's a safety problem if you go out alone without anyone with you!"

"This is the ocean!"

Su Xiaohe then noticed that her hair was also wet, but her body didn't look wet; it seemed as if she had already dried off.

"You've gone into the sea?" he asked, frowning.

"Ha, if I go into business, what chance do the others have?"

"..." Su Xiaohe roared, "Try smiling like that again!"

Fang Ke could only say, "Someone else just drove by in a speedboat and splashed me with water. Don't worry, I'm not stupid."

Su Xiaohe finally breathed a sigh of relief and remembered the person he had forgotten. "Why are you the only one here? Where is Xiao Yichen?"

Just as Fang Ke was about to shrug and say he didn't know, Xiao Qin came running out with her phone in hand.

"Uncle Fox, I called my brother, and he said he's going back to the villa to wait for us."

"Uncle... alright, as long as he's not missing, that's fine. But look at you all, one by one, lawless, disregarding organization and discipline!"

"Sister, don't run around like that next time. We were all so worried!" Xiao Qin nodded, looking at Fang Ke with a face full of disapproval, clearly having already gone through a round of anxiety.

Fang Ke smiled and then said to everyone, "I'm sorry, I won't run around alone next time."

Little B: "...Just keep lying to them."

Everyone relaxed then, and Fang Ke pulled Xiao Qin over to ask, "Did you have fun?"

Xiao Qin's attention was diverted, and she excitedly told her how exciting and fun the water activities were today.

In the middle of the trip, the hovercraft they were riding in capsized, and they all fell into the water like dumplings being dropped into a pot.

Fang Ke frowned. "Are you alright?"

"No, I was wearing a life jacket! It was so much fun! You don't know how much fun Brother Yichuan and Sister Sitong had. It was because two tourists behind them were too excited and kept taunting the boat driver, saying, 'Hurry up, hurry up!' Did they not eat? Does that mean they can't drift and fly?"

"Haha, the driver behind us got really angry and drove incredibly fast, which is why we capsized."

Speaking of this, Song Yichuan and He Sitong launched into another tirade of complaints.

"I think those two are travel bloggers. They deliberately provoked the boat owner today. What idiots, risking their lives for material!"

Thanks to those two idiot tourists, they were all forced to go into the sea today.

Su Xiaohe laughed and said, "But the show was also very entertaining. That live broadcast saw a peak in viewership."

They chatted, drank, and ate snacks on the yacht deck, enjoying a leisurely time.

As the sun began to set, the sea voyage came to a successful end, and the yacht slowly set off back.

Su Xiaohe clapped his hands and said, "Everyone, take a shower and tidy up when we get back. There won't be any other activities to bother you tonight. There's a rare stargazing concert in Binhai today, which only happens once a month. Let's all go check it out."

"Yay!"

"Director, at least show some humanity!"

"Are you sure there are no events? Don't lie to us."

Back at the villa, Xiao Qin was the first to push open the wooden gate to the courtyard and began calling for Xiao Yichen.

"Brother, are you there?!"

She called out several times but received no response, which she found strange. "Didn't he come back? But he told me he went back to the villa."

Song Yichuan said, "Did you go out again? Maybe you were bored and went for a walk around the neighborhood."

"You think he's as self-disciplined as you, Brother Yichuan? My brother is very lazy, a homebody, so he definitely wouldn't run around."

Song Yichuan scratched his head and went with her to look for it.

Fang Ke had just entered the room when she looked up and saw Xiao Yichen standing on the stairs with a normal expression. He had changed into a black casual knit sweater and trousers.

Fang Ke's eyes met Xiao Yichen's. Both of their eyes were dark, and neither could see what the other was thinking, but they both tacitly pretended that nothing had happened.

Fang Ke then called out to Xiao Qin, who was still searching aimlessly in the living room, "Your brother is here."
