She knew that if she stayed in that extra second, Yan Xiluo would feel even more guilty.
"Okay, you should tell me if anything happens! And remember to drink the brown sugar ginger soup!"
Yan Xiluo wanted to take a closer look and see if these people had anything in common with the people who had chased her before.
"Mmm, mwah, goodnight!"
After Chen Nanxing finished speaking, she left their room.
"Baby, did you discover something that made you so eager to get rid of her?"
Lan Jingyan sat on the bed and held Yan Xiluo in his arms.
"I haven't found anything, but I want to look at it a few more times to see if I can find any useful clues. I want to see if it's the same group of people who were chasing me before."
Who on earth could know her whereabouts so accurately? Was the cruise ship's arrival a last-minute decision? How come someone is already hunting her down?
Yan Xiluo watched the video repeatedly, zooming in on each detail.
Just when she thought she would find nothing, she discovered that the person who pushed her was the same person who had thrown her into the sea eight years ago; both had a cross-shaped scar on their arms. It was truly terrifying to think about...
Even in such dim light, she still noticed it!
Yan Xiluo's hand holding the phone trembled slightly as memories of the past flooded back like a spring.
"It's him..."
Yan Xiluo spoke slowly...
Who is it?
Lan Jingyan was puzzled. Yan Xiluo seemed to know that person? Her behavior was somewhat unusual.
"He was the man who threw me into the sea eight years ago. I clearly remember that he had a cross-shaped scar on his arm."
Yan Xiluo's voice still trembled. She thought she wouldn't, she thought she was strong enough, but she still remembered the despair of being thrown into the sea...
Words cannot describe it.
"It's alright, Luo Luo. I'll be here for you from now on. No one will hurt you again... I'll deal with it right away. Send me some clearer screenshots of them facing the camera."
Lan Jingyan held Yan Xiluo tightly in his arms and coaxed her softly.
Yan Xiluo lay on Lan Jingyan's chest, listening to his strong and powerful heartbeat, feeling a great sense of security. She quickly took a screenshot and sent it to Lan Jingyan.
It was also convenient to have Pang Jiayi bring his men along, since Pang Jiayi would always travel with Yan Xiluo unless there was a special mission, although they wouldn't appear at the same time.
In addition, Yan Xiluo sent screenshots of these people back to Xi Gang, asking Ai Xue to take other subordinates to investigate and see if there were any other clues.
"Hey, Ayu, there's something I need you to do right away..."
Lan Jingyan immediately instructed Ayu to arrange for people to conduct a secret search on the ship, and also to send people to stake out the docks near the coast, just in case those people escaped.
He took screenshots of the faces of those people in the surveillance footage and sent them to them.
"Okay, baby, you must be tired today. Let me hold you and you can sleep for a while, okay?"
Lan Jingyan noticed that Yan Xiluo's pale face lacked color, so he quickly grabbed a warming belt from the bedside and had her put it on.
"Okay, let's rest together, shall we? You've gone into the sea too."
Yan Xiluo leaned against his chest, speaking in a muffled voice. She felt her head was heavy and drowsiness was creeping over her.
"good."
Lan Jingyan held Yan Xiluo in his arms, and they both closed their eyes, leaving the desk lamp on.
Li Family Villa
"Yueyue, stay at home tonight. Hotels are so uncomfortable! Come stay at home whenever you come to B City. Don't be shy!"
Seeing that it was getting late, Si Yaqin was reluctant to let An Xinyue stay outside, feeling that it was not safe for her to be alone.
"Grandma, isn't this a bit inappropriate?"
An Xinyue felt a little embarrassed and thought it was inappropriate.
"What's wrong with it? Yueyue has stayed here before, and the room you stayed in has always been empty. No one else has ever stayed there."
Every time An Xinyue went to B City to visit Li Mufei, she would stay at her home. Sometimes she would stay with Li Mufei, and sometimes she would stay in a guest room that Li Mufei had specially reserved for her.
"Oh well."
An Xinyue looked at Li Shaochuan, wanting to get his permission before agreeing.
Li Shaochuan nodded in agreement; he couldn't be happier for her to live at his home!
"That's more like it! It's so late, let Shaochuan go with you to get your luggage, or you can get it tomorrow! Grandma loves chatting with you!"
Seeing that An Xinyue had agreed, Si Yaqin nodded in satisfaction and gently held An Xinyue's hand.
"I also enjoy chatting with my grandma."
An Xinyue's smile blooms like a flower, touching people's hearts.
Li Shaochuan was somewhat dissatisfied, and his eyes were conveying a message to Si Yaqin.
Li Shaochuan: Grandma, isn't it my turn now? You've been monopolizing Yueyue ever since you walked in!
Si Yaqin: Look at you, in such a hurry! Where are you going?!
Li Shaochuan: Grandma!
Si Yaqin: Okay, okay! It's your turn!
"Um... Shaochuan, Yueyue is in your care now. You two are free to do whatever you want with her! Grandma is going upstairs to rest now!"
Si Yaqin walked upstairs with a smile.
At this moment, Li Yaosen was painting in his study, Li Shangjue was dealing with some unfinished business, Zhang Yiting had just come out of the shower and was applying a face mask, and Li Mufei and Ning Jiu'an had long since gone off somewhere to be all lovey-dovey.
"Yueyue, do you want to pick up your luggage tonight or tomorrow? It's almost ten o'clock now, don't you want to get some rest?"
Li Shaochuan hoped she would rest early, as 10 o'clock was already quite late.
"I want to get my luggage because I can't sleep well without a steam eye mask."
She felt a bit tired today, and she definitely wouldn't be able to sleep without a steam eye mask, a habit she'd had for years.
Can I order Flash Delivery?
Li Shaochuan felt that it would take about an hour to run there and back, and he could see the fatigue in An Xinyue's eyes.
"The one I'm using was custom-made for me by Luo Luo herself; you can't buy it anywhere else... Let's go get it..."
She's gotten used to that calming and sleep-inducing steam eye mask; the one with the specially blended essential oils smells a bit different from the ones you get elsewhere.
"Okay, I'll go get it then. Would you like something to eat before you come back?"
They came back around midnight snack time.
"Okay, I'd like to try your local specialty grilled fish."
She was also thinking of having a late-night snack, since she couldn't sleep well on an empty stomach.
"Shall we set off now?"
Li Shaochuan picked up the car keys from the table next to him and waved them in front of An Xinyue.
"good!"
The two walked out hand in hand, while others, who had appeared at the stairwell without a word, silently watched. A whole row of heads stretched down the stairs…

"Master, we threw the person into the sea, but... they were rescued..."
He didn't dare to report it anymore. He had finally accomplished something, but it felt like he hadn't done anything at all.
"It's impossible to sneak around unnoticed in a place like that. I just wanted to make her suffer a little. Also, have the surveillance cameras been wiped clean?"
He/She didn't originally intend for her to die now; they wanted to take their time.
To instill fear in her, there will be his/her people everywhere she goes.
