The hand gripping his collar loosened, and Zhan Nanting abruptly stood up, raising the hand holding the pistol once more, pointing it at Zhan Minglei's head.

"Master Lei!" Han San called out anxiously, "Master Lei!"

The man must have heard his shouts, because he slowly raised his eyes. But the next second, a gunshot rang out in the corridor.

The bullet struck Zhan Minglei squarely between the eyebrows. In the instant blood splattered, he was killed instantly, his eyelids closing heavily.

In that instant, Han San's pupils widened in horror, and he cried out in anguish, "Master Lei!"

The entire corridor was filled with the strong smell of blood. Zhan Nanting's hand, which was holding a pistol, twitched, paused for about two seconds, and then slowly lowered.

Behind him, a series of hurried footsteps approached. He lowered his eyes and looked at the man lying dead on the ground. At that moment, Zhan Nanting's expression was somewhat inscrutable.

However, as Han San ran over, Zhan Nanting turned around expressionlessly.

His deep gaze slowly moved upwards, and he finally looked at Rong Chang in front of him.

This was the first time he had seen her since he arrived.

Of course, when he met her gentle gaze, his originally dangerous and bloodthirsty eyes instantly turned into tenderness.

"Master Lei, Master Lei."

Behind him, Han San was heartbroken.

A cold wind blew through the corridor, and Zhan Nanting finally strode towards Rong Shang.

Halfway through, Jiang Shaoyao, who was already quite frightened, screamed. He pressed one hand on the cold ground and slowly sat up against the wall behind him.

Zhan Nanting lowered his eyes and glanced at him, then looked at the half-broken wooden door on the right, pursed his lips, and ultimately said nothing.

When he reached Rong Shang, he reached out and pulled her into his arms.

The man who had just killed without blinking an eye was now filled with love and tenderness in front of Rong Shang. "Why didn't you tell me you were coming up here? I've been looking for you for so long."

If we hadn't searched everywhere and couldn't find her, and hadn't checked the surveillance footage...

Nan Ting cannot arrive at this battle so quickly.

"I'm sorry, I didn't think it through."

She raised her hand and gently patted his back, saying lazily, but her slow gaze inadvertently fell on Jiang Shaoyao.

Of course she considered it; if she had told Zhan Nanting beforehand that she was here, she wouldn't have been able to deal with Jiang Shaoyao.

She then handed the wooden box in her arms to Zhan Nanting and said with a smile, "Returning it to its rightful owner."

“This…” Zhan Nanting looked at the wooden box in Rong Chang’s hand and frowned. “How did it end up with you?”

“Look, he’s here to steal the Spirit Pearl.” Raising her chin, Rong Shang gestured in Jiang Shaoyao’s direction.

Then, seeing Jiang Shaoyao take a step back in fear, she added, "But I've already dealt with him."

...

Thus, at their engagement banquet, Rong Shang, taking advantage of Jiang Shaoyao's desire to steal the Spirit Pearl, deliberately lured him into a room and gave him a severe beating.

Oh, by the way, it was she who lured away the men in black guarding the room.

Zhan Nanting lured out Zhan Minglei and secretly sent people to follow them, which allowed him to capture them all in one fell swoop.

Having avenged their great grudge, Zhan Nanting and Rong Shang stood embracing on the deck of the cruise ship after the engagement banquet ended and all the guests had left.

It was late at night, and as a sea breeze blew by, Rong Shang heard him say softly, "I'm sorry."

"Um?"

"I ruined the engagement party."
