Su Ziqing felt that her situation was somewhat dangerous.
She reached out and poked his chest. "Gong Chengjue, are you jealous of a waiter?"
Is he kidding me?
Gong Chengjue whispered domineeringly in her ear, "I'm jealous of all the men around you."
Su Ziqing chuckled.
His eyes were beaming with joy as Gong Chengjue carried her straight to the bed...
Su Ziqing's eyes widened, "You..." What did you just do on the boat?
Gong Chengjue proved with his actions that he was really hungry.
By the time she had rested, it was already dinner time. Well, to be precise, Su Ziqing was woken up by her own hunger.
God knows how exhausted she was...
She had barely moved when Gong Chengjue pressed her down with his hand, saying, "Ziqing."
I'm hungry.
Gong Chengjue then opened his eyes. "Okay, get up and eat something."
……………………
Gong Chengjue suggested bringing dinner to the villa, but Su Ziqing, sensing his wolfish nature, decisively rejected the suggestion and instead headed to the restaurant.
There weren't many people in the restaurant. Apart from the waiters, there were only two or three tables of guests dining there. It's estimated that everyone had their dinner delivered to the villa.
After Su Ziqing finished ordering, Gong Chengjue's phone rang again.
Su Ziqing looked up at him.
Gong Chengjue looked at the caller ID on his phone; it was Gong Changfan calling. He stood up. "It's my uncle calling."
Su Ziqing nodded.
"Miss Su, this blueberry ice cream on the island..." A handsome waiter suddenly appeared out of nowhere, holding a menu and introducing the food to Su Ziqing.
Su Ziqing felt that this man seemed a little too 'responsible'. Just as she was about to say something to him, she noticed something glowing on the menu in his hand.
Su Ziqing instinctively dodged to the side.
The bodyguards who remained immediately warned Su Ziqing, "Miss Su, be careful."
When the handsome waiter's first move failed, he immediately followed up with a second.
Gong Chengjue was on the phone when he glanced over and saw this terrifying scene. He immediately rushed inside.
Unexpectedly, the bartender's expression suddenly changed, and he turned to Gong Chengjue.
For a moment, the restaurant was filled with the sounds of shattering cups and breaking porcelain.
"Chengjue, be careful." To Su Ziqing's surprise, even the guests she thought were dining at the restaurant had all transformed into highly skilled assassins.
When they came to the restaurant, they had four bodyguards with them, except for two who stayed at the villa.
Normally, four bodyguards would be enough, but with so many people around, four people immediately appear very weak.
Even though Gong Chengjue and Su Ziqing were both capable fighters, facing an assassin who wanted to kill them was extremely dangerous.
Gong Chengjue has no chance of returning to Su Ziqing's side, and it would be difficult for him to even take another step forward.
Suddenly, danger lurked everywhere. Just then, the restaurant was plunged into darkness, giving the vulnerable Su Ziqing and her companions a chance to catch their breath.
Su Ziqing never expected that she would encounter such a mess of things when she brought Gong Chengjue here for vacation.
And they were ambushed by the other side. Does that mean all the guests from the past two days have been taken into custody?
The situation didn't give her much time to think; gunshots rang out overhead...
Su Ziqing crouched on the ground, using the overturned chair as cover, when she suddenly heard a startled shout, "Mr. Gong!"
What happened? Did something happen to Gong Chengjue?
The gunshot...
Su Ziqing bit her lower lip, her eyes still adjusting to the darkness. At this moment, she could only vaguely see the fighting outside.
What about the other people on the island?
Are they all dead? Can't you hear what I just heard?
Finally, a commotion came from outside, like a belated response from the island's staff. As for security... who would risk their life to get in at this time?
Su Ziqing heard the bodyguard shout that Mr. Gong was injured and to call a helicopter and a doctor...
"Retreat!" She also heard the numerous assassins shout.
Su Ziqing rushed out and saw Gong Chengjue lying in a pool of blood.
Tears streamed down her face. "Chengjue, don't scare me."
This time, the assassins really went to great lengths. Several bodyguards were injured while trying their best to protect him, but they still couldn't protect him well enough, and Gong Chengjue was injured.
"I'm fine." Gong Chengjue touched her head, his hands were sticky. "No vital organs were injured."
He was wearing a bulletproof vest, but before he could tell her that, she burst into tears, crying uncontrollably. "I shouldn't have suggested coming to the island for a vacation, knowing that danger was everywhere..."
Knowing full well that Gong Changming was truly desperate and reckless at this point, she still...
“Miss Su,” one of the injured bodyguards reminded Su Ziqing, “Mr. Gong should be taken to the hospital now.”
The staff on the island, having just experienced a life straight out of a movie, were only now realizing, "There's a helicopter on the island, arrange it immediately."
…………………
Hospital
As Gong Chengjue said, he was wearing a bulletproof vest; otherwise, he would probably be...
So although she was injured and is currently undergoing surgery, the doctor assured her that her life would not be in danger.
"Miss Su, it's Mr. Gong on the phone." The bodyguard handed Gong Chengjue's phone to her. "It's a call from the head of the family."
Su Ziqing's expression was frighteningly calm. She took a deep breath and answered the call from Gong Changfan. "Mr. Gong, hello, this is Ziqing."
Gong Changfan's heart tightened when he heard Su Ziqing's voice. "Something happened to Chengjue?"
"...Yes, she's in surgery now, but the doctor said there's nothing life-threatening, so don't worry." Su Ziqing felt like all her strength had been drained away.
"He...sigh, he just won't listen. How can he leave the capital at a time like this?!" Gong Changfan said with a mix of worry and anger on the other end of the phone.
Su Ziqing could hear the blame in his words.
They remained silent and did not respond.
“He originally said he would be back today,” Gong Changfan said, “but he said you were on vacation too.”
Su Ziqing's eyes welled up slightly. If she continued to maintain her aloof demeanor, would he have returned to the capital today?
She suddenly regretted inviting him to the island and even setting aside two days to spend with him. If she had continued to ignore him, wouldn't he have returned to the capital long ago?
Su Ziqing's silence prevented Gong Changfan from uttering any more words of blame. He simply said, "Call me when it's convenient for him to make a phone call."
"Okay," Su Ziqing replied.
The operating room lights went out, and Gong Chengjue was wheeled out by a nurse. Although he was only partially anesthetized, he was quite energetic. When he saw Su Ziqing's worried eyes, he smiled.
"You're still laughing!" She burst into tears.
Gong Chengjue said, "Don't cry, don't cry." He just didn't want her to worry...
