The bodyguards quickly stepped forward and, as before, gently lifted Lu An'an up.
However, at this moment, Lu An'an was in a state of agitation because of Pei Sheng's words. She only wanted to beat someone up. She threw away the bodyguards who approached her with one hand each. Just as she was about to step over and beat Pei Sheng, Pei Sheng's persistent threat made her stop.
"An'an, be good, otherwise, I can't guarantee that something else might happen in Beijing."
Lu An'an suppressed her anger, took a deep breath, slowly lowered her clenched fist, and coldly swept her gaze over Pei Sheng with an icy look. Before she could utter her sarcastic remark about national essence, she was interrupted by the sudden roar of a helicopter in the distance.
Lu An'an looked up and saw several helicopters circling and approaching the cruise ship menacingly.
The helicopter leading the way opened its cabin door wide, and a familiar figure came into view.
When Lu An'an saw the person's appearance, she panicked.
[Damn it, how did they get here so fast? That damn Pei Sheng, who knows what he's up to? Should we send them back the way they came?]
She frowned, but her gaze instantly hardened into a resolute expression.
Pei Sheng anticipated that A Yan would come. I'm afraid that what he wants to do will implicate A Yan. Later, once I can understand A Yan's thoughts, I'll send them back, telling them I can handle it myself. I must make sure they live well.
Before Lu An'an could even process the thought, Fu Zhiyan's disapproving voice echoed in her mind.
I disagree. We've already come all this way; there's no reason for us to not play and then fly back.
Lu An'an: "..."
The expression on her face was slightly distorted.
[Is this cheating? How can their thoughts be so clear from such a distance?! Is this even possible?!]
Just as the two were exchanging a silent blow, the helicopter hovered steadily above the cruise ship, casting a shadow.
Pei Sheng recognized the person above the helicopter, raised an eyebrow, a hint of hostility flashing in his eyes, and said with a half-smile, "Tsk, although I knew he would come, seeing him in person still makes me very unhappy."
At this moment, Zhu Ze, who had been standing in the background, slowly stepped forward, his calm voice carrying an imperceptible unease: "Master, should we take this opportunity to kill them?"
Pei Sheng continued to wipe the water droplets off his body slowly and deliberately, his tone calm and even: "No need, just let them land. I'm going to change my clothes. After all, we have distinguished guests. Tell the people below to prepare everything that needs to be prepared, so that our distinguished guests do not feel slighted in the slightest."
After saying that, he glanced at Lu An'an, who was staring blankly at the people on the helicopter, and a faint sneer appeared on his lips. He then said again, "Keep a close eye on them and don't let any unrelated people get close."
Zhu Ze frowned slightly, his dark and unfathomable gaze falling on Lu An'an. The moment Pei Sheng looked over, he quickly lowered his eyelids and nodded gently in agreement with a submissive posture.
Pei Sheng's cold gaze swept across Zhu Ze's face, as if he could see through Zhu Ze's thoughts, and he warned in a low voice, "Xiao Yi, don't do anything unnecessary."
Zhu Ze's body trembled almost imperceptibly, his hands unconsciously clenched into fists and hung at his sides, a trace of unwillingness flashed in his eyes, and he finally whispered, "This subordinate... understands."
Pei Sheng then turned around and strode steadily toward the cabin.
As Zhu Ze watched Pei Sheng's figure disappear on the deck, he immediately turned and gave the bodyguards a look. All the bodyguards gathered on the deck instantly formed a circle around Lu An'an. With synchronized movements, they silently drew their guns from their hiding places, and the dark muzzles of the guns were all pointed at the helicopter not far away, ready to fire.
Lu An'an was startled by the commotion. She quickly scanned the deck and realized that Pei Sheng was nowhere to be seen. She frowned and asked Zhu Ze, "Zhu Ze, where is your master?"
Zhu Ze replied gently, "Miss Lu, the master went to the cabin to change his clothes in preparation for welcoming our distinguished guests. Would you like to change your clothes as well?"
Lu An'an rolled her eyes and said sarcastically, "Oh~ Pei Sheng is quite girlish, he must have studied dress-up games quite a bit."
A gentle smile appeared on Morozawa's lips, but he did not respond.
Lu An'an raised her chin at the bodyguards surrounding her, who were arranged in a circle around her, and asked, "Was this arranged by your master, or did you take it upon yourself to do so?"
Zhu Ze's smile widened. "Ms. Lu, in order to avoid a tense standoff between us and to ensure a smooth and harmonious exchange, I suggest you temporarily side with us. This way, we can protect you and put everyone here at ease, right? Of course, more importantly, we need to make room for everyone to disembark."
Lu An'an sneered: "Suggestion? Zhu Ze, your shamelessness is truly impressive."
Zhu Ze's smile remained unchanged as she replied politely, "Miss Lu is too kind."
Lu An'an narrowed her eyes slightly, her gaze meeting Fu Zhiyan's as they exchanged a silent, intimate message.
You promise me that you will follow my orders in all subsequent actions and will not make decisions on behalf of the organization without my consent.
〖……I promise. 〗
Only after receiving Fu Zhiyan's assurance did Lu An'an slowly walk behind Zhu Ze, surrounded by bodyguards.
However, when Lu An'an saw everyone on the plane disembark, the corner of her mouth twitched involuntarily.
Good grief, is this the finale? The main character, the villain, and the supporting characters are all here.
Opposite her, Fu Zhiyan, Lu Wenjing, Lu Yanli, Lu Xunran, Lu Yubai, along with Gu Tingyan, Jin Yan, and the ever-active Qi Rang, were all present and gathered on the deck.
Lu An'an's speechless gaze met the worried eyes of Lu Wenjing and the others in the air. A pang of sorrow welled up in her heart. She let out a soft breath, then cast a reassuring look at them before asking Fu Zhiyan a question that was hard to put into words.
【Seriously, do you think I'm throwing a party here? Why did I bring everything?】
Fu Zhiyan blinked her innocent-looking eyes and quickly explained.
"They insisted on coming, and with so many of them, we're bound to have a strong presence. With so many of us against Pei Sheng, it's a piece of cake."
Lu An'an's eyelids trembled slightly.
[That seems to make sense?]
"Clap clap clap—"
A burst of applause broke the silence of the arrogant swordsman on the deck, and everyone's eyes involuntarily turned to look in the direction of the sound.
Pei Sheng had changed into an extremely eye-catching dark red suit. He clapped his hands, a playful smile on his lips, and walked leisurely towards the crowd.
His gaze swept over the faces of Fu Zhiyan and the others, his eyes flashing with an unfathomable light, and his tone was ambiguous: "Not bad, it's lively, and quite a few people have arrived."
