Half an hour later, the hovercraft carrying Lin Yun and Xia Qingqing rendezvoused with the one carrying their families over the open sea.
Lin Yun's and Xia Qingqing's parents were initially shocked by the existence of these hovercraft, but over the course of the journey, they had mostly come to accept them. Once they knew the identity of who they were meeting, they all became very warm and polite.
Lin Yun's younger sister, Lin Duoer, and Xia Qingqing's younger brother, the fifteen or sixteen-year-old Xia Xiaotian, adapted quickly. They were quite excited during the journey and were extremely thrilled when they saw Lin Yun.
Lin Duoer called out 'brother' incessantly, cheerfully inquiring about all sorts of things.
Xia Xiaotian enthusiastically called Lin Yun his brother-in-law. However, perhaps due to unfamiliarity, he didn't have as many questions as Lin Duoer. He merely listened attentively and watched Lin Yun with adoration whenever Lin Duoer asked Lin Yun something.
Once Lin Yun and Xia Qingqing switched to the higher-end hovercraft, they quickly headed in a particular direction.
The speed of six thousand kilometers per hour was not to be taken lightly.
Two hours later, they arrived in a place in the Middle East.
"Boss, you're here?" Zhao Gang was thrilled to see Lin Yun and his party arrive.
"Uncle, auntie, sister-in-law, Duoer..." Zhao Gang then greeted the rest of the people around Lin Yun.
"Gangzi, why are you here?" Lin Duoer exclaimed in surprise.
"Gangzi..." Xia Qingqing also greeted him in surprise. She knew that Zhao Gang was Lin Yun's good friend, and they had once had meals and conversations together. She also knew that Zhao Gang had gone to Shen City a few days ago.
She didn't expect that Zhao Gang was already here.
As Xia Qingqing finished speaking, she looked around at the surrounding environment. There were only a few dilapidated buildings, some teenagers standing at attention in an open space, and some practicing a variety of movements.
There were black, white, and Asian people. In total, there were about several hundred people, and they all had serious expressions on their faces. Even when Lin Yun's group was talking, none of the teenagers so much as glanced in their direction.
"A few days ago, I sent Gangzi here to handle some things," Lin Yun smiled.
But he knew that even if he had gone earlier, it wouldn't have made a difference because, as Jiang Yan said, they had already laid their hands on Qi Weiwei by the time she made the call.
After Lin Yun brought her to Qingyun Hotel, he had been feeling that her condition wasn't right.
Thank goodness for the presence of Qi Weiwei's mother, which allowed Qi Weiwei to hold on, but after her mother recovered from her illness, Qi Weiwei's condition began to deteriorate again, seemingly wanting to isolate herself from the world.
Because Lin Yun had cured Qi Weiwei's mother, Qi Weiwei seemed to want to repay him and proposed to work for him. But considering Qi Weiwei's condition, Lin Yun didn't think it was suitable for her to work. Still, outright refusal might make things worse.
At that time, Zhao Gang went to Shen City. Lin Yun thought about it and simply brought Qi Weiwei over with Zhao Gang.
In his opinion, perhaps a change in environment would improve Qi Weiwei's state.
Zhao Gang was someone Qi Weiwei didn't know, so she wouldn't feel out of place around him.
The distance was so far, and Qi Weiwei's mother, who was now her emotional pillar, naturally had to come along.
However, Lin Yun had overlooked their meal problem, especially Qi Weiwei's mother, who had just recovered from a serious illness, needed special attention to this aspect.
"Brother Lin, Sister Qingqing, you are here..."
At this moment, a soft voice sounded.
A beautiful girl walked over from behind the crowd, bowed her head, and whispered.
"Weiwei, you're here too?" Xia Qingqing grabbed the girl's arm excitedly and said.
Her tone was soft, mixed with a hint of pity.
Xia Qingqing knew Qi Weiwei, and she was also aware of what Qi Weiwei had gone through, she felt extremely sorry for this girl and had spent a long time comforting and accompanying her.
Although she had left Shen City only a little over two hours ago, Xia Qingqing knew that they were thousands of miles away from Shen City, and even farther from Huaxia. In such an unfamiliar place, seeing a familiar face made Xia Qingqing happy.
In Qi Weiwei's hand, there was a basin of clothes. She was probably doing laundry just now. However, Lin Yun glanced at it and found these were not women's clothes in the basin, but men's. They were not the clothes of her and her mother.
