Lin Ruanruan, wearing a swimming ring, was taught to swim by Huo Qi, proving that she really was lazy.
Her hands and feet were really out of her control, and with Huo Qi next to her, she couldn't concentrate on studying at all.
"Brother Huo, why don't you swim and I'll practice by myself?"
Huo Qi patted her head. "It's okay, I'll stay right here with you. You're more likely to get into trouble swimming by yourself."
Are you tired?
Lin Ruanruan nodded, "I'm tired."
Huo Qi led Lin Ruanruan ashore and draped a towel over her. "Then I'll take you for a ride on a jet ski to relax."
Lin Ruanruan nodded quickly. She was fine with anything, but she wasn't going to learn to swim anymore; swimming was too difficult.
Huo Qi drove Lin Ruanruan at breakneck speed, Huo Qi was having a great time, but Lin Ruanruan regretted it.
She should have gone back to her vacation villa to sleep. This was too exciting...
Huo Qi patted Lin Ruanruan's hand, "Scared?"
Lin Ruanruan nodded, "A little bit, can we go back a little slower?"
"Of course you can."
Finally back on shore, Lin Ruanruan's legs went weak, and Huo Qi picked her up in a princess carry.
She buried her head in Huo Qi's chest, feeling a little embarrassed. What should she do?
Suddenly, Lin Ruanruan noticed something out of the corner of her eye and looked towards a corner. She seemed to have just seen a familiar face.
"What's wrong?" Huo Qi asked.
Lin Ruanruan was about to shake her head, but stopped herself in time. "I just saw someone whose profile looked familiar, a bit like Xu Chaosheng."
"But wasn't it rumored that he was sick? He didn't even take the college entrance exam this year, so why is he here?"
Upon hearing this, Huo Qi's eyes darkened for a moment, then he composed himself and said, "Never mind him, let's get ready and go to the restaurant for dinner."
Lin Ruanruan nodded. Huo Qi carried Lin Ruanruan back to her room and then went out. Lin Ruanruan took a quick shower, changed into a floral dress, and dried her hair until it was half dry before going out.
As soon as she stepped outside, she saw Li Qin looking anxious. "Ruanruan, have you seen Fang Lan?"
Lin Ruanruan shook her head. "What's wrong?"
“We were swimming together just now, and then Fang Lan went to the restroom on the shore and disappeared. She didn’t answer my calls.”
Lin Ruanruan's almond-shaped eyes widened, and she quickly looked at Huo Qi beside her, "Brother Huo, let's go find Fang Lan together!"
Huo Qi had just received the news, and he shook his head, "Too late."
Lin Ruanruan looked at Huo Qi in confusion, "What do you mean?"
"Fang Si sent me a message saying that someone had kidnapped his brother, but his men couldn't catch up, and told the rest of us to be careful."
Lin Ruanruan dug her nails into her palm. "What do you mean his men didn't catch up? This island belongs to Brother Fang Si. His men are everywhere. How could anyone possibly have a chance to take advantage of us, unless..."
A sharp pain shot through her palm, and Lin Ruanruan's mind cleared, unless Fang Si did it on purpose.
She looked at Huo Qi anxiously, "Brother Huo, why?"
Huo Qi frowned and reached out to grasp Lin Ruanruan's hand. "Don't worry, Fang Si has already gone after them."
But Lin Ruanruan was still worried. She sat in the living room biting her nails. Why, why did she deliberately give herself away and let Fang Lan be kidnapped?
Will Fang Lan be alright? Who kidnapped him?
Lin Ruanruan's eyes widened as she thought of that profile. Xu Chaosheng?
The Xu family?
Lin Ruanruan let her thoughts wander. The Fang family suddenly became active in the upper class of Nan Province, and everyone knew that the youngest son of the Fang family was Fang Lan.
The Xu family has problems. The Liang family's human trafficking and Xu Yelu's death sentence are both closely related to the Xu family.
Secretary Fang is the most likely person to reach that position next...
Lin Ruanruan's hands trembled slightly, and tears streamed down her face. Fang Sige could never catch up with Fang Lan.
Huo Xian looked at Lin Ruanruan with concern, "Ruanruan, don't cry. Brother Fang has already contacted the Coast Guard. Fang Lan will be fine."
“How could nothing possibly happen?” Lin Ruanruan’s tears streamed down her face. “This isn’t our country’s waters. It’s teeming with pirate ships and black market cargo ships. Besides…”
Moreover, Fang Lan could very well be used as bait, which makes Lin Ruanruan uneasy. What if the people who kidnapped Fang Lan removed some of his body tissue to threaten Fang Guowei?
They won't kill Fang Lan, but Fang Lan will definitely not have an easy time.
For the first time since recovering, Lin Ruanruan was so resentful of her own uselessness. Her best friend was in trouble, and she could only wait in the same spot, only to be met with Fang Si's fruitless return!
Sure enough, all they got was a disheveled Fang Si. "They moved too fast, and even teamed up with the surrounding pirates to confuse us. I don't even know where Fang Lan is now."
Lin Ruanruan remained silent, her eyes staring blankly at a point in the air.
Huo Xian was somewhat worried about Lin Ruanruan's condition. "Ruanruan?"
Lin Ruanruan came to her senses and looked at Fang Si, only to see him leading Huo Qi upstairs to say something. "Xianxian, you go back to your room first, I'll go ask."
After saying that, Lin Ruanruan caught up with the two of them. Fang Si looked at Lin Ruanruan and sighed, "Little sister, you should go back and rest first. I'll arrange for you to return tomorrow..."
Before Fang Si could finish speaking, Lin Ruanruan slapped him across the face. Fang Si's head was turned to the side by the slap, and he was a little stunned.
Lin Ruanruan's breathing became rapid and heaving, her eyes reddened, and a deep-seated rage surfaced within her. "It was you, wasn't it?"
"It was your orders that caused the people protecting Fang Lan to relax their guard, which allowed the kidnappers to succeed!"
"He's your brother! Why did you treat him like this? Even if you wanted to lure out the people behind him, there were many other ways. Why did you sacrifice Fang Lan!"
