Nangong Shuangshuang was locked in a closed room and tied to a chair. She was nervously staring at the screen in front of her: "Second Brother, are you alright? Have I caused you any trouble?"
"What do you think?" Nangong Jue took a deep breath. He did crave family affection, but his father, whom he should have admired, was cold-blooded. Only his younger sister had shown him kindness, and he remembered it all. Therefore, he couldn't ignore her this time.
"I'm sorry." Nangong Shuangshuang gave a bitter smile. "Someone said you were in trouble yesterday, but I couldn't get through to you on the phone, and I didn't know Fang Ming's number, so I could only come over to check on you. I never expected..."
"I will get you out," Nangong Jue said, about to hang up the phone.
"Second Brother," Nangong Shuangshuang suddenly called out to him, "I'm sorry."
Nangong Jue hung up the phone immediately.
Princess Diana called soon after: "Do you believe me now?"
"I told you, I agree to your request. Now, tell me, where will we exchange them?"
"As you probably guessed, we're already in international waters," Princess Diana smiled. "Then let's go to Hoss Island. It's a private island I just bought last year, and it's very close to international waters, making it convenient for your evacuation..."
“Princess Diana is truly thoughtful. I would feel embarrassed if I disagreed. Okay.” Nangong Jue smiled as well. “Time.”
“I’ll be waiting anytime, but I hope you can bring your wife with you, after all…” Princess Diana sighed, “I really want to see her.”
"Don't even think about it."
“Perhaps you could ask your wife; maybe she’d be willing to come. After all, there are two of us here.” Princess Diana laughed, then slammed down the phone.
Nangong Jue closed his eyes briefly, then opened them again with unwavering determination. This time, he was determined to resolve everything so he could marry Alan without any worries. He already owed her a wedding once, and he absolutely couldn't miss it this time.
Le Yao received a text message informing her that Shuo Shuo and Nangong Shuangshuang were in her possession and that she needed to personally bring the treasure map and key to exchange them.
She hurriedly dialed the number back, but couldn't get through, so she had to contact Nangong Jue instead.
"Alan, I don't want you to go." Nangong Jue quickly returned to Longting; there were some things that needed to be said in person.
"No, I'm going." Le Yao was adamant. "This is my business. Of course, you'll say that those people have broken the law, so it's under your jurisdiction. But ultimately, it's because of my family, so I have to go." This was what she, having taken over Han Binglan's body, should do for her—help her find out the truth about her origins.
"But……"
"Nangong Jue, I feel it's necessary to tell you a... secret." Le Yao hesitated for a moment, but still decided to be honest with him.
Nangong Jue's brow twitched, and for some reason, he suddenly felt a little scared: "Alan, since it's a secret, there's no need to..."
“I think I should tell you this. If I keep it from you, I might never have peace of mind for the rest of my life.” Le Yao pulled Nangong Jue to sit down. “And it wouldn’t be fair to you either.”
Nangong Jue stared into Le Yao's eyes for a long time before finally nodding: "Okay, I'll listen to you."
