The firelight from the fireplace reflected in his eyes, making her feel warm.
Huo Shen pulled Lin Jiu to the sofa and let her sit on him.
"This will be our little home from now on." Huo Shen said, burying his head in Lin Jiu's shoulder.
"I plan to leave here tomorrow and go to the imperial capital." Lin Jiu looked at the flames in the fireplace, his eyes gradually becoming empty.
Huo Shen was stunned for a moment, then touched Lin Jiu's head and said, "Okay, let's go to the imperial capital."
That night, Lin Jiu woke up many times and saw that Huo Shen beside him had fallen asleep.
The phone next to him lit up.
Lin Jiu picked up his phone and stood up.
"Baby, where are you going?" Huo Shen grabbed Lin Jiu's wrist.
"Bathroom." Lin Jiu squeezed the phone tightly.
"Okay, go quickly and come back soon." Huo Shen stared at Lin Jiu's back until she walked into the bathroom.
Five minutes later.
"Bao! Are you still in the bathroom?"
Huo Shen immediately stood up and strode towards the bathroom. The bathroom door was locked from the inside. "Bao, are you there?"
Huo Shen knocked on the bathroom door. There was no sound from inside, so he kicked the door open.
"precious--"
The restroom was empty.
There was only a line of words written on the wall with laundry detergent: "I'll be back soon after I take care of something."
A small window in the bathroom was open, and it was obvious that Lin Jiu went out from here.
Huo Shen's eyes dimmed. "Bao, this is your home. Why leave in this way? It's so dangerous."
The next second, Huo Group’s cars were all over every street in Bincheng.
Huo Shen demanded that even if he had to turn Bincheng upside down, he must find Lin Jiu.

Ben Thanh Pier
Lin Jiu drove a stolen taxi and rushed to the abandoned dock in Bincheng.
The docks are full of scrapped ships waiting to be destroyed.
If Lin Hong hadn't sent her the video of Su Moyun being kidnapped, she wouldn't have been so anxious to rush to the place Lin Hong mentioned.
Maybe Lin Hong met a master in prison. On the way to the dock, every time Lin Hong sent a message to Lin Jiu, the IP address displayed was not the same location, which made it difficult for Lin Jiu to determine his location within a few minutes.
As soon as Lin Jiu drove the car into the dock area, Lin Hong sent a WeChat message.
XX: [Did you bring what I wanted? ]
Nine: [I have already signed the transfer agreement for all shares of the Lin Group. I will give it to you only after I confirm that Su Moyun is fine.]
XX: [There's a wrecked ship with a blue flag on it to the east of the dock. You can get on board directly.]
Lin Jiu drove the car to the east side of the dock, and there was indeed a broken boat with a small blue flag.
It's a clear night, and the river is sparkling.
After getting off the car, Lin Jiu looked around and saw only countless rusty broken ships.
Only the boat with the small blue flag was still intact.
This boat is much larger than a fishing boat and has three decks.
Lin Jiu narrowed his eyes. Such a big ship would attract too much attention. How could he escape?
There must be something fishy going on!
She boarded the boat from the stern as Lin Hong requested.
Soon after we got on board, the boat started.
Is there anyone in the cockpit?
Lin Jiu drew out his dagger and walked cautiously through the corridor.
The first floor is the guest rooms, and there are small rusty doors on both sides of the corridor.
Soon they arrived at the cab. Lin Jiu kicked open the iron door of the cab. There was no one inside and the rudder was turning by itself.
There was a note taped to the console.
[Lin Jiu, please wait here. I'll be there shortly.]
Lin Jiu checked the ship's control console and found that the unmanned driving mode was turned on.
It seems that although this ship has been scrapped, it still has a relatively high-end configuration.
