thump thump thump...

A sudden knocking sound came from outside the door, as if each knock was striking Dongfang Yerong's heart.

He immediately glanced at Li Baobei, who was still fast asleep, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank goodness she wasn't woken up."

His relaxed nerves tensed up instantly, and his eyes became sharp and alert.

He stood up quietly, his steps very soft, as if afraid of making the slightest sound.

One step, two steps...

He slowly approached the door, secretly trying to figure out the identity and purpose of the person outside.

Finally, Dongfang Yerong arrived at the door.

He took a deep breath, steadied himself, and then carefully reached out to grasp the doorknob and turned it gently.

The door opened a crack, and through the narrow gap, Dongfang Yerong saw a blurry figure standing outside.

Because it was still early morning and the light was quite dim, and the person outside was wearing a veiled hat, he couldn't see their face clearly at first, but they looked somewhat familiar.

"Master, a thug just passed by, but don't worry, I've already taken care of him." The war slave knelt on one knee and respectfully reported the situation.

He You nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.

He remained seated in the sedan chair, his face cold and expressionless, as if what had just happened had no effect on him.

In fact, this sudden change did not disrupt his original plans.

"Let's go," He You ordered in a calm and indifferent tone. As soon as he finished speaking, the coachman waved his whip, urging the horses to continue forward.

The wheels rolled, making a creaking sound that broke the silence of the night.

The ornately decorated carriage slowly drove through the empty streets, heading towards the outskirts of the city...

The moonlight shone on the car roof, casting a cool, clear glow.

He You leaned back quietly in her chair, her eyes closed, but her thoughts had already drifted far away.

Nan Nan...

As night deepened, the carriage moved further and further away, disappearing into the vast darkness...

*

The sky was already glowing with golden light.

"That's great! Dark Silence, you're still alive!"

Dongfang Yerong's voice trembled with excitement, his face beaming with joy, and his eyes sparkling with surprise.

The appearance of Anji finally put a weight off Dongfang Yerong's heart. He knew that as long as Anji was alive, Nannan might not suffer so much in the future.

"Miss, is she... alright?" Anji's voice trembled slightly.

"She's still alive, and everything's fine," Dongfang Yerong replied softly.

Upon hearing this news, his dark eyes lit up instantly, filled with surprise and disbelief.

As long as Li Baobei is still alive, their adventure to come to the South China Sea will not have been in vain.

"Then how did you survive?" Dongfang Yerong couldn't help but ask curiously, her tone full of concern.

Anji took a deep breath and slowly recounted his experience: "I was in dire straits, but luckily, a passing fishing boat found me and rescued me. Since then, I've been searching for you in this small town..."

In the early morning, sunlight streamed through the window into the room, and Li Baobei slowly woke up.

The room was empty at the moment.

She rubbed her eyes, stretched, and after washing and dressing herself, she walked towards the door.

As soon as Li Baobei stepped outside, she saw Dongfang Yerong sitting in front of the hall with a person wearing a veiled hat.

The person was dressed in black, tall and slender, making it difficult to discern their gender at first glance. Li Baobei curiously observed this mysterious figure, secretly guessing their identity.

Just then, Dongfang Yerong looked up and saw Li Baobei. A joyful smile immediately appeared on his face, and he shouted, "Nannan, come down quickly, look who this is!" His voice was full of excitement and anticipation.

Hearing Dongfang Yerong's call, Li Baobei quickly went downstairs and came to them.

Meanwhile, the darkness beneath the veil was also silently watching Li Baobei.

Seeing Li Baobei's rosy complexion and radiant spirit, Anji was filled with joy.

That's wonderful, Miss is safe and sound, everything is fine.

Anji slowly removed her veil, looking at Li Baobei with tender eyes, "Miss~"

Li Baobei looked at Anji, her mind still blank, but when she saw the person wearing the veil, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.

She gazed at the person in front of her, a feeling of indescribable intimacy welling up inside her, but the memories in her mind seemed shrouded in a fog, unable to surface clearly.

She frowned, racking her brains to find a clue in the chaos, but to no avail. This left her feeling confused and embarrassed, and a troubled expression appeared on her face.

Amnesia is absolutely awful! It's as if the whole world has become strange and distant, and all the people and things that were once familiar now seem as illusory and fragile as bubbles.

This feeling of powerlessness tormented her, gradually giving rise to fear and unease.

Upon seeing this, Dongfang Yerong quickly explained Li Baobei's amnesia to Anji.

He quickly comforted Li Baobei, saying, "Don't worry, we'll help you regain your lost memories, Nannan."

"Mmm," Li Baobei replied weakly.

Anji felt a little relieved after hearing this; as long as everyone was safe and sound, that was enough.

The three of them ate together and then decided to leave the small seaside town.
