Meng Wen had already made it clear to him that he, a grown man, had no reason to slander Yu Wan, and Ji Kong believed him.

Therefore, although they had Yu Wan with them, they did not allow her to move around freely.

After Gu Shiyi and his group learned about Tianlong Fortress.

A group of men sat in the restaurant, reflecting on their experiences.

"I never expected Miss Ji to be so righteous."

"Sacrificing one's own family for the greater good is always easier said than done. Miss Ji is truly admirable!"

"Fu Lin is the head of the Divine Envoy Organization. She has harmed countless people for her own selfish reasons. Her crimes are punishable by death, yet some people are willing to break the law to rescue her. Compared to Miss Ji, she is far inferior!"

Everyone else knew he was talking about Yu Wan.

After all, Yu Wan almost harmed Meng Wen's team, so it's understandable that everyone harbors resentment.

Yu Wan never expected to hear such words when she sneaked out!

Which Miss Ji?

Sacrificing family for the greater good?

Yu Wan's gaze was fixed on Ji Kong's retreating figure. Was he thinking the same thing? Letting her ignore her mother's life and death, and live a carefree life on her own?

Yu Wan roared at them angrily, "No matter how bad my mother is, she is still the one who gave me life and raised me. If I don't even save her, what difference is there between me and an animal?"

With a snap!

Someone slammed their hand on the table and stood up: "Who among the people your mother killed wasn't born of parents? Do you think you, Yu Wan, are the only one who's so noble?"

Yu Wan pursed her lips: "I didn't say I was noble!"

"Are you implying that the people your mother killed deserved it, and the others you killed while trying to save her also deserved it? That only your and your mother's lives matter in the whole world, and everyone else is just grass, okay?!"

"Then what do you expect me to do?"

Yu Wan's eyes were bloodshot as she glared at the speaker with resentment: "Would you only let me go and stop targeting me if I died like that Miss Ji?"

"Bah! Miss Ji helped Fourth Young Master and Master Heng conquer Tianlong Fortress, what could you do? You are not worthy to be compared with Miss Ji!"

Upon hearing the words "Fourth Young Master," Yu Wan's eyes flickered, and she suddenly laughed abruptly: "That Miss Ji died for the Fourth Young Master? The Fourth Young Master will probably remember her for the rest of his life, right?"

She thought of Shangguan Wu's happy smile.

Wasn't Shangguan Wu pregnant?

If she knew that the Fourth Young Master had a fleeting affair while out and about, would she still be able to laugh?

You must understand that the living can never win against the dead!

Yu Wan couldn't wait to return to the capital.

She wanted to tell Shangguan Wu this good news herself!

Gu Shiyi and Meng Wen felt that Yu Wan's smile carried a hint of malice, and it was still directed at the Fourth Young Mistress (Miss).

The others remained silent, clearly agreeing that Miss Ji died for the Fourth Young Master.

In their view, this is nothing.

Because they were all willing to risk their lives for the Fourth Young Master!

The next moment, Yu Wan stared intently at Ji Kong: "If I die, will you remember me for the rest of your life?"

Ji Kong was stunned.

Yu Wan suddenly rammed into a bulkhead.

Upon seeing this, Gu Shiyi and Meng Wen immediately got up to help.

Ji Kong was closer, and when he saw them get up, he reacted quickly and rushed forward to stop Yu Wan.

Yu Wan was stopped by him, raised her hand and punched his chest, complaining aggrievedly, "You want me to die? If I die, it will all be over. Didn't you want me to die? Why did you save me?"

Gu Shiyi and Meng Wen exchanged a glance and both frowned.

Ji Kong suppressed his impatience and advised, "Miss Yu, no one wants you to die. Can you please be a little more sensible?"

"Hehehe, am I not thinking straight?"

Yu Wan laughed, tears streaming down her face, and looked at them with teary eyes: "You all think Miss Ji is righteous, noble, and charming."

I haven't saved as many people as she has, so I don't deserve to live in this world. I am lowly and worthless. She is a cloud in the sky, and I am mud on the ground, aren't I?

Gu Shiyi and Meng Wen remained silent.

Yu Wan's crying made it seem as if all these men were ganging up on her, a girl!

The other men looked embarrassed and exchanged glances.

Only Ji Kong and Yu Wan were somewhat familiar with each other, and in the end, everyone's pleading eyes all fell on Ji Kong.

Ji Kong sighed: "No one said that. Don't overthink it. Go back to your room."

"I……"

Yu Wan had only uttered one word when suddenly her eyes rolled back and she collapsed to the ground.

Ji Kong caught her with lightning speed.

"I'll take her back to her room," Ji Kong said to everyone, then picked up Yu Wan and carried her to her room.

After staring at him for a few seconds, Gu Shiyi looked back at Meng Wen and asked, "What do you plan to do?"

"Back then on Pirate Island, it was indeed she who pleaded for us, and that's why the pirates let us go. I owe her a favor, and as long as it doesn't violate my principles and morality, I will do something for her."

Meng Wen owed Yu Wan something and would repay her, but then suddenly changed the subject: "But she did something wrong, so she should be punished."

Gu Shiyi reminded him, "The Fourth Young Mistress is pregnant, so don't tell her about this for now."

Meng Wen nodded solemnly: "I know what's important."

He only reported good news when he sent messages back to the capital, never bad.

Fortunately, Shangguan Wu was unaware that Gu Yunzhen had disappeared at sea.

If she knew, she would be incredibly worried.

If Shangguan Wu were to have a miscarriage, she would be unable to participate in the perfumery competition, let alone reach the finals, thus blinding the foreigners.

This year's international perfumery competition was full of surprises.

Only two perfumers from China made it to the preliminary rounds, but they unexpectedly made it all the way to the finals to compete for the championship against the apprentice of the president of the Perfume Association!
