"For your sake, I will temporarily put aside my grudges and find him."

Chu Wuyang subconsciously clenched her fingers.

She didn't want Yang Jinchu to get involved too much, nor did she want to owe him anything more.

He refused immediately.

"No need. Whether it's to capture Zhou Heng for the Chu family or to find Jing Min... none of this really concerns you. You don't need to—"

"Consider it my way of making amends!"

Yang Jinchu interrupted her without hesitation.

There was a brief silence on the other end of the phone.

His fingers tapped lightly on the table, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.

Her questioning last time made him finally realize that her distrust could also hurt him deeply.

This time, he didn't want to disappoint her again.

There was no selfish motive; I just wanted to make amends.

But Chu Wuyang knew very well that

Even though Jingmin had made so many preparations beforehand, something still happened after he boarded the ship.

This cruise ship is not a place one can easily set foot on.

She frowned slightly and said in a deep voice,

"But getting on the ship isn't that simple; there are risks involved, you..."

Before she could finish speaking, Yang Jinchu interrupted her.

"Yangyang, can you trust me?"

His tone was somewhat forceful.

It sounded like she was sulking, but the last syllable unconsciously softened, revealing a hint of caution.

"In any case, I have a way to get on the ship."

On the phone, the two faced off in silence, neither speaking first.

After a long while, Chu Wuyang took a deep breath.

"Then I'll go with you."

Yang Jinchu instinctively wanted to refuse—the waters on the cruise ship were too deep, and he didn't want her to be in danger.

And then there's the "mark" Jin Bolin mentioned... He didn't want her to get involved in any trouble.

But the words caught in his throat, choked by an indescribable emotion.

She was willing to take the initiative to approach him.

Even if it's just a short-term collaboration,

He didn't want to push him away either.

"good."

He responded softly, his tone carrying a hint of restrained gentleness.

anyway,

He always managed to protect her.

"Imprints" are nothing to worry about.

He'll figure something out; nobody dares to say anything!

After hanging up the phone, Chu Wuyang went straight out of the room.

He went straight to Yan Zhou and Li Yan's room.

She raised her hand and knocked on the door. The people inside seemed to be discussing something in hushed tones.

A moment later, the door opened.

She was met with two pairs of wary and anxious eyes.

"I'm going to go on the ship myself to find Jingmin."

She got straight to the point and informed them,

Yan Zhou and Li Yan were stunned for a moment.

Before I could even be surprised at her plan to board the ship,

Chu Wuyang immediately added,

"Yang Jinchu will go with me, so don't worry, I will definitely find Jingmin."

The two men's expressions changed slightly.

Upon suddenly hearing Yang Jinchu's name,

My first reaction was—it's over.

President Jing is probably going to be furious!

One is a rival he's always been wary of, and the other is a woman he'd rather get hurt than not protect.

These two actually want to team up and board the ship to find him?

If Jing Min knew, he might have targeted them first.

But after calming down,

They had to admit that this was indeed the safest option at present.

They had already learned from Jingmin that

Yang Jinchu's relationship with the cruise ship

In addition, his relationship with Chu Wuyang is special.

Getting her onto the ship was not difficult.

More importantly—regardless of Yang Jinchu's motives,

At least in this matter,

His stance would not contradict Chu Wuyang's.

And will protect Chu Wuyang.

Yan Zhou and Li Yan exchanged a glance.

Even though I knew I would be punished afterward

But Jingmin's safety is the most important thing right now.

They had no other choice.

"……All right."

Li Yan said in a deep voice.

"Madam, please be careful!"

Yan Zhou sighed.

She glanced at Chu Wuyang with a complicated expression, then silently agreed.
