Chen Zhe was unaware that Yang Yun had waited for him all night. At that moment, he was holding Xie Yuhan, sitting on a large rock and watching the moon in the gentle breeze and beautiful night.
"Xiaoyu, if you're worried about me and other women, I swear to you, I, Chen Zhe, will only love you for the rest of my life. I will never love another woman. If I break this vow, then let me..."
Chen Zhe didn't say what he was going to say next because Xie Yuhan had already covered his mouth.
She shook her head slightly.
"Chen Zhe, I don't need you to swear an oath, I believe you."
"Little Rain..."
By the moonlight, seeing Xie Yuhan's affectionate eyes and her lips that were moving uncontrollably with emotion, Chen Zhe could no longer resist and lowered his head to kiss her.
At first, Xie Yuhan was worried about being seen by her grandfather and struggled a little, but then she cooperated with her body's honest reaction.
After a long while, the two parted ways.
Staring at Chen Zhe with such intense gaze, Xie Yuhan felt shy and shrank into his arms.
"You're always bullying me..."
How could I bear to bully you?
Chen Zhe pulled her close, holding her tightly in his arms, unwilling to let go for even a minute. He had held several women before, but he had never felt as at ease as he did now.
He felt that Xie Yuhan's body was so compatible with his, and he was deeply infatuated with her temperature and her scent. In the past, the women who were with him were all after something from him.
Some were after fame, some after profit, some hoped to help her, and others might have wanted to use their bodies to comfort her broken heart.
Xie Yuhan was different. She never asked anything of herself, but it was precisely because she didn't ask that Chen Zhe wanted to give her everything.
Looking at the low mountain peaks in the distance standing in rows like soldiers, and the faint city lights flickering like the light of hope, Chen Zhe felt a surge of pride.
He suddenly stood up.
He said in a loud voice.
"Xiaoyu, do you believe me?"
"Huh? Believe what from you?"
Xie Yuhan was a little confused.
"I have a part in the future of the East China Sea! Do you believe me?"
Xie Yuhan nodded.
I believe you.
She truly believed it, because her grandfather had once said that Chen Zhe had the destiny of a Qilin (a mythical creature), and that people with such a destiny would not be content with the ordinary, and would always have benefactors to help them along the way. If such a destiny existed in ancient times, he would at least be a regional lord, or even the ruler of a country.
"Really? You really believe me?"
Hearing Xie Yuhan's unwavering belief in him, Chen Zhe was moved and grasped her hand. He had never boasted like this in front of outsiders before. He always maintained a humble and amiable demeanor, but inside he was passionate. He knew he could accomplish something big, something spectacular.
"Yes, I believe you!"
Xie Yuhan nodded without hesitation again.
"It's so kind of you!"
Chen Zhe hugged Xie Yuhan tightly, smelling her faint, elegant, and charming scent, similar to osmanthus. He felt a surge of desire, wanting to discuss the fun of microbial exchange with Xie Yuhan.
As Xie Yuhan felt Chen Zhe getting closer and closer to her face, her body began to heat up. She gripped Chen Zhe's arm tightly with her fair hands, neither resisting nor agreeing.
Of course, Chen Zhe took this as tacit agreement.
Just as the two were getting closer, another cough came from not far behind them, followed by Xie Laodao's voice.
"Xiaoyu!! Why aren't you back to sleep yet? What are you doing outside?"
Upon hearing Xie Laodao's voice, the two of them sprang apart like springs.
Xie Yuhan quickly stood up from the rock and patted the dust off her bottom.
With her face flushed, she said, "I...I have to go back now. My grandpa is calling me. You should go back too."
Chen Zhe felt a little disappointed.
He wanted to stay here tonight, so he told Zhang Kai to come back in the morning.
However, Xie Yuhan didn't try to stop him, so he couldn't just go in against his will, especially since he knew that Master Xie wouldn't agree.
"Okay, I'll watch you go in."
"You go back first, I'll watch you leave."
"It's alright, I'll watch you go in."
"I'll watch you leave; you should go back soon."
"I'm not in a hurry, Brother Zhang is waiting for me at the foot of the mountain."
Xie Yuhan hesitated for a moment, then nodded; "Then I'll go first?"
"Okay, go back now. I'll come find you again tomorrow."
"Okay, I'm really going back?"
"Let's go back."
Chen Zhe said with a smile.
Xie Yuhan looked back every few steps, finally disappearing reluctantly at the door.
Seeing that Xie Yuhan had gone back, Chen Zhe sighed slightly and, after thinking for a moment, called Zhang Kai.
Zhang Kai said he would be there shortly.
Chen Zhe also planned to take this opportunity to go down the mountain.
...
When Chen Zhe got back to his building, it was already past 3 a.m. After Zhang Kai drove away, Chen Zhe was about to go upstairs when a person suddenly appeared in the darkness of the stairwell while he was waiting for the elevator.
Without saying a word, the man pressed a small knife against Chen Zhe's waist, and Chen Zhe's heart skipped a beat as he sensed the danger.
He raised both hands.
"Friend, don't be impulsive, do you want money?"
It's so late at night, and the other person came up to me with a knife but didn't immediately attack. It's probably a robbery. Losing some money doesn't matter, as long as I'm alive, that's all that matters. What bad luck! Just now, to find an excuse to tell Hu Ling that I was drinking, I went to the convenience store to buy a bottle of beer, took a few sips, and Zhang Kai just left at that time. A Bao is upstairs now, and I can't contact him. There's no one here to help me.
"I don't want money, I want you to come with me."
The other person's deep voice made Chen Zhe feel uneasy. He didn't want money, so was he planning to kidnap him? Who wanted to kidnap him? Guan Yingjie or Shen Xin'ang? It was possible.
"Friend, can you tell me who your boss is? So I'll have some idea."
"You don't need to know this. Just come with me obediently."
To urge Chen Zhe on, the knife pressed against his back moved slightly.
"Okay, okay, I'll go with you. Don't be impulsive."
"I won't hurt you as long as you come with me."
"That's good. Where's your car?"
Chen Zhe asked.
"It's right at the intersection around the corner, very close."
This man was very cautious and had a very good temperament. No matter how Chen Zhe spoke to him, his knife never left Chen Zhe's side.
Chen Zhe tried to escape several times, but he was well controlled each time.
"Don't worry, you're not in any danger if you come with me. I have no intention of harming you."
"Brother, your knife has never left my side, so I find it hard to believe you when you say that."
"My boss just wants to say a few words to you. After he finishes, I'll send you back safely."
The fact that the other party didn't directly attack him even though they could have stabbed him to death, and even said such things, made Chen Zhe a little unsure of what to do.
Guan Yingjie and Shen Xingang should both want him dead, so this man isn't one of theirs.
If they're not one of their people, then who is it?
Chen Zhe was a little confused, but oh well, since there was no chance to escape, he might as well go and see. He also wanted to know who the other party was.
The man was very cautious; he even handcuffed Chen Zhe's hands when he got into the car. Clearly, he was a professional in this line of work and wouldn't leave any room for maneuver.
Chen Zhe raised his hands.
"Brother, is it really necessary to go this far? Now that I'm in your car, I'm not going to run away. Why are you doing this?"
The man didn't reply to Chen Zhe, but instead started the car and drove away quickly.
After driving for 20 minutes, the car suddenly turned onto a road, winding and turning until it arrived at a place Chen Zhe didn't recognize. However, he could sense that it was very close to the river, because he could hear the sound of ships.
The man indeed stopped the car by the river.
He opened the car door and said, "Mr. Chen, please get out. My boss wants to see you."
The man pointed to a ship docked not far away. Chen Zhe frowned slightly, hesitated for a moment, and then got out of the car. The man led him to the ship. Two men who looked like bodyguards were standing next to the gangplank. After the man brought Chen Zhe over, the two men searched Chen Zhe's body. After finding no dangerous items, the two men stepped aside.
The man who had brought Chen Zhe shoved Chen Zhe.
"Go ahead, my boss is waiting for you."
