"Who am I? Guess who I am?" the man asked, his voice clear and melodious, matching his appearance but not quite matching his actions.
Ye Xinning coughed, thinking to herself that this person really had a lot of leisure time. In her current situation, her heart was in turmoil, so how could she possibly be in the mood to guess who he was?
"Sir, I really don't know you. I don't know where I've offended you that you want to kidnap me?"
The man suddenly laughed, his eyes narrowed, and his voice was languid, "I can tie you up whenever I want. Do I need a reason?"
Ye Xinning, "..."
"You know me?"
"Welcome to France, nice to meet you, Ningning. Do you like the gift your brother gave you?"
elder brother?
Ye Xinning almost fainted again from those words.
"What did you say? Brother?"
The man nodded with a smile, "What a pity, I'm only meeting my sister now."
"Wait, what kind of brother are you to me?"
Ye Xinning felt that at this moment she truly embodied what it meant to be bewildered by the wind, both physically and mentally.
elder brother?
Could it be that Dad has already married and had children in France?
That's not right. Even if he's married and has children, he's still her younger brother, not her older brother.
Or is it that Dad was married and had children before he met Mom?
The man smiled without saying a word and returned to his seat.
Ye Xinning became anxious upon seeing this.
"Say something! You're Dad's son, aren't you? Dad's always kept me from coming to France because he didn't want me to know he had another son here, right?"
Why do you talk so much?
Ye Xinning, "..."
This was the first time someone had ever complained that she talked too much. Ye Xinning was so angry that she trembled all over. Just thinking about how she and the man in front of her were half-siblings gave her a headache, and she just couldn't accept it.
"Are you really my brother?"
The man, who was very impatient just a second ago, suddenly changed his expression and smiled warmly, "The real deal."
"Then why did you kidnap me?" Ye Xinning continued to ask.
The man chuckled softly, a smile playing on his handsome face as he innocently said, "I told you, this is a gift for my sister."
Ye Xinning, "..."
Is this a gift that will kill her the moment we meet?
This gift is a bit too expensive.
"Boss, it's almost time. We can't delay any longer," the man next to him suddenly said, his eyes fierce.
The man said calmly, "What's the rush? The person hasn't even arrived yet."
"Do we really have to wait for them to come? If they do come, will we still have an advantage?"
"That's exactly what I want."
Ye Xinning vaguely heard their conversation amidst the sound of the wind.
he?
Who is it?
Who are they waiting for?
Ye Xinning had too many questions in her mind. "You kidnapped me here as a bargaining chip?"
She called out to the person below, trying to strike up a conversation.
The man glanced up at her. "What do you think?"
"So you're saying you won't hurt me, and you'll let me go once you get what you want?"
The man couldn't help but laugh out loud, his tone mocking, "I want the stuff, and I want your life too."
He said it with a smile, but Ye Xinning felt that this man was far from being as harmless as he seemed. When he said he wanted to take her life, he wasn't joking.
Ye Xinning's face grew increasingly grim. Could it be that she was really going to lose her life here today?
But what exactly is going on?
Kidnapped out of nowhere? An older brother suddenly appears?
The man stopped talking to her and sat in his chair smoking, which made Ye Xinning increasingly uneasy.
She was in an unfamiliar place, and there was only the sea below; it was impossible to expect her to save herself.
Now she can only pin her hopes on Ye Xiaoxiao, hoping that Ye Xiaoxiao will discover her disappearance in time and notify Shen Lin promptly.
Sinking...
When the name appeared in her mind, Ye Xinning was stunned for a moment.
She and Shen Lin were divorced, and she had decided to let go of the past. But even under these circumstances, when she encountered danger, her subconscious thought was still of Shen Lin.
Ye Xinning smiled inwardly. No matter how she tried to convince herself to let go of Shen Lin, the truest reaction deep in one's heart cannot be faked.
What she cares about most is still that man.
Thinking about her unpleasant parting with Shen Lin this morning, Ye Xinning thought to herself that if she had known she would be kidnapped and her life would be in danger, she should have said more to Shen Lin.
As Ye Xinning was thinking this, the sudden sound of a car brought her back to her senses. She looked up and gazed in that direction.
The car drove straight this way and finally stopped beside the boat.
Ye Xinning perked up and watched as the car door opened and a man got out.
The distance was too great for Ye Xinning to see the person's face clearly, but she knew it wasn't Shen Lin.
She lowered her head in disappointment. What had she been hoping for?
Ye Xiaoxiao might not tell Shen Lin about her disappearance, and even if she did, Shen Lin might not come. Even if he did come, it would be impossible for him to find out so quickly.
What Ye Xinning didn't notice was that the other car door also opened, and a man got out as well.
It was Shen Lin, whom she had been longing for.
The arrival of Shen Lin and Gu Shilin attracted the attention of the men on the ship.
"Boss, someone's here."
The man looked at Shen Lin and Gu Shilin. He knew Gu Shilin; he was the second young master of the Gu family and the future head of the family.
As for the men around Gu Shilin...
"Who are you?" the man asked, looking at Shen Lin.
"Who I am is not important, what matters is that you touched my person."
A familiar voice rang in her ears. Ye Xinning, who had been waiting in despair for her turn, suddenly looked up. Not far away, Shen Lin was wearing a black trench coat, and his figure was so familiar.
Ye Xinning was stunned for a moment; he had arrived.
He really came.
Even though he was in a foreign country, and even though they were divorced and had no relationship whatsoever, he still came.
They risked their lives to save her, giving her hope once again.
Ye Xinning's hands, hanging limply at her sides, were clenched tightly, and her eyes were somewhat red.
All the previous tension and anxiety seemed to ease the moment I saw Shen Lin.
There was a strange sense of conviction that if Shen Lin came, she would be alright.
Meanwhile, Shen Lin watched from afar as Ye Xinning was tied up at sea, so high up. She had always faced this alone before; how terrified she must have been.
At this moment, Shen Lin suddenly felt a little regretful. He should have waited there with Wen Zhu after dropping her off at her destination in the morning. If he had waited there, she wouldn't have been kidnapped and wouldn't have had to face it alone.
Thinking of this, and looking at the man on the ship again, Shen Lin exuded a bloodthirsty coldness.
Release them.
