Lu An'an calmly put her phone back in her pocket, strolled over to Zhu Ze with composed steps, and said in a calm and even tone, "Let's go."
Zhu Ze's eyes flickered slightly, a hint of surprise flashing across them, clearly not expecting Lu An'an to be so calm.
Having some doubts in mind, I asked the question.
"Miss Lu doesn't seem surprised by my appearance?"
Lu An'an glanced at him lightly, a faint, almost imperceptible smile curving her lips: "The abacus beads have hit my face, what's so surprising?"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Ze was slightly taken aback, then lowered his eyes and smiled gently, saying in a warm voice, "Miss Lu is indeed clever."
He paused, then smiled and said, "Ms. Lu, for our mutual safety, we'll have to temporarily confiscate your phone. We hope you can understand and cooperate."
[Tsk, the same old phone-confiscation trope.]
Lu An'an chuckled inwardly, but remained outwardly calm, obediently handing over her phone without the slightest hesitation or struggle.
Zhu Ze frowned slightly. Lu An'an's unexpected compliance made him feel a strange, indescribable feeling.
He reached out and took Lu An'an's phone, instinctively wanting to unlock it to check, but as soon as his fingertips touched the screen, Lu An'an gently pressed down on it with her slender hand.
He looked up and met Lu An'an's cold and warning eyes.
"Assistants, I've already handed over my phone, but isn't it a bit too much to ask to unlock it?"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Ze paused slightly, then smiled apologetically and tossed his phone into the sealed bag. "Miss Lu, I apologize for my rudeness. Please come with me."
After speaking, Zhu Ze led Lu An'an across the other side of the airport and onto a waiting private jet.
As the plane slowly took off, Lu An'an's gaze swept over Zhu Ze, who was engrossed in reviewing documents across from her. A thought crossed her mind, and she asked curiously, "What's your relationship with Pei Sheng?"
Zhu Ze paused abruptly as she turned the page. Without answering her question, she slowly raised her eyes, a hint of inquiry in her gaze, and asked in return, "Why do you ask that, Miss Lu?"
Lu An'an lowered her eyelids slightly, her gaze flickering gently between her eyelashes: "It's just curiosity. You've done everything for Pei Sheng that he shouldn't have done, why? Did he save your life?"
"It's because Master once..."
Zhu Ze and Lu An'an's eyes met in the air. At that moment, his thoughts suddenly became blurred. He uncontrollably wanted to reveal his secret, but just as the crucial words were about to spill from his lips, he suddenly froze, his mind instantly clearing and his gaze returning to its original clarity.
His surprised gaze swept over Lu An'an, and a slight panic involuntarily rose in his heart. After calming down, he spoke slowly, his tone full of meaning: "Miss Lu's hypnosis skills are quite good."
Lu An'an slightly pursed her lips.
"Likewise, I was also a little surprised that you were able to break free from hypnosis so quickly."
Both master and servant are abnormal. The master cannot be hypnotized directly, but the servant can regain consciousness on his own.
Speechless. It seems to have stripped me of all my strength and resources.
Morozawa cautiously withdrew her gaze, and the mistakes she had made in the past now found a reasonable explanation.
He recalled the meaningful conversation between Pei Sheng and Lu An'an in the hospital room last time, and Zhu Ze felt a sudden chill. He realized that he might have underestimated Lu An'an's expertise in hypnosis from the very beginning. Back then, when he heard Pei Sheng imply that Lu An'an's hypnosis was futile, he had felt a hint of contempt. Now, however, he realized that Lu An'an's hypnosis skills were superior to his own. At least he couldn't successfully hypnotize someone without external help.
Morozawa's eyes flickered slightly.
It seems that he should try to avoid making eye contact with Lu An'an in the future.
After realizing that she couldn't get any more information out of Zhu Ze, Lu An'an got tired of dealing with him and simply closed her eyes and went to sleep.
There was a moment of silence on the plane.
After an unknown amount of time, Lu An'an was woken up.
"Ms. Lu, we've arrived. You can get off the plane now."
The moment Zhu Ze approached, Lu An'an instinctively became alert, her eyes snapping open. The dagger she had been hiding in her sleeve was pressed against Zhu Ze's neck, then she casually withdrew it.
"I'm sorry, Assistant Zhu, this is a habit I've developed over the years. For your safety, I suggest you stay away from me next time."
After saying that, she slowly stood up and walked leisurely towards the cabin door.
Behind him, Morozawa touched the scraped spot on his neck and couldn't help but gasp, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.
The moment Lu An'an stepped out of the plane, she saw four bodyguards waiting on the tarmac. After she got off, one of the female bodyguards smiled and stepped forward, saying politely, "Welcome to Wuming Island, Miss Lu. Please get in the car. Your master is waiting for you."
Lu An'an frowned.
You're saying this is an island?
The female bodyguard gave a formulaic smile: "Yes, Miss Lu, this is the master's private island, extremely secluded. Please rest assured, the security measures here are very thorough. You don't need to worry about safety. The entire island has everything from defense to service. If you have any needs, just give the order, and we will do our best to take care of it for you. You don't need to worry about it yourself."
"As for how to leave the island, we have planes and boats available for you to choose from. If you wish to return, you only need to discuss it with the master. We wish Ms. Lu a pleasant stay on the island."
Upon hearing this, Lu An'an raised her eyebrows slightly, a subtle look flashing in her eyes.
[Pei Sheng is quite good at finding subordinates. Look at what he's saying: the island is highly secluded, outsiders can't find it, and the security measures are excellent. His words imply, "We outnumber you, you can't compete." He also says I can't escape, and even evacuation will depend on Pei Sheng. Tsk tsk, no wonder Pei Sheng likes to delegate everything to his subordinates. They're all quite clever.]
She nodded, accepting reality. "Alright, let's go see your master."
Upon hearing this, the female bodyguard politely gestured for Lu An'an to get into the car, and then Zhu Ze also got in, and the group drove away from the helipad.
Along the way, Lu An'an observed the deployment around the island without making a sound. Basically, there was a patrolling bodyguard group every hundred meters. A trace of solemnity flashed in her eyes.
Security on this island is indeed as strict as she said. Hopefully, Ayan will bring more people with her when she comes.
Her mind was racing as the car slowly pulled up in front of a villa built by the sea.
The female bodyguard helped Lu An'an out of the car and said with a smile, "Miss Lu, please come with me into the villa for a simple makeover. After that, you can go to the beach to have dinner with your master."
Lu An'an narrowed her eyes slightly, her brows inadvertently revealing impatience.
"What kind of person is Pei Sheng? Do I have to do my makeup and hair just to have a meal with him?"
"Make him crawl!"
