Inside the CEO's office, Murong Aotian was busy dealing with official business, when Housekeeper Li rushed in so hurriedly that he forgot to knock on the door.
"What is it?" "So flustered!" Murong Aotian raised his head, his face filled with anger.
Housekeeper Li had been by his side for many years, always being cautious and meticulous in his actions, and rarely lost his composure like this. He didn't want anyone to disturb him while he worked. It wasn't as if she didn't know.
"Miss Su... It's gone! " Housekeeper Li summoned up his courage and said with a trembling voice.
"What?" Murong Aotian stood up with a "whoosh", and his handsome face immediately turned as black as ink.
"She was staying at the hotel, and I had dozens of people nearby to keep an eye on her. She never left the hotel... " The Housekeeper Li said.
Needless to say, this must have been done by Andy. As expected, the boss of the gang did nothing but show off his abilities. He sent Su Wanbai to Kuala Lumpur, obviously where his men were waiting for him. Mingxiu had never thought that this arrogant foreign kid actually knew how to fight in the military. It seemed that she had been too careless, for him to retreat so quickly from Vancouver made him suspicious instead.
"A living person cannot disappear into thin air. Go investigate it immediately!" Murong Aotian did not blame Housekeeper Li, he stood in front of the window, and looked at the lit night scene in the distance, his eyes filled with anger and ferocity.
Su Wanbai! As long as you are alive, you can forget about escaping from my grasp!
Murong Aotian squinted his dangerous eyes and smiled faintly.
At this moment, in the distant southern hemisphere, Su Wanbai was sitting on a yacht as she headed towards her destination, Sydney.
Su Wanbai was woken up by the bodyguards in the middle of the night. They opened up a layer of the floor and brought her to a passage. John had been waiting for her early. The jet-black surface of the river and the impenetrable darkness of the night made Su Wanbai unconsciously think of those classic escaping scenes from the television.
"John, you don't need to exaggerate so much, do you?" Su Wanbai didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"It's better to be cautious. You know how important you are to our boss!" said John.
"He's the only one …" Su Wanbai said.
John interrupted Su Wanbai and looked at the bodyguards coldly. Although these were all his own people, his boss had told him before that his relationship with Su Wanbai should not be leaked. Perhaps one day, he would have to appear in another identity just to protect Su Wanbai from harm.
Su Wanbai looked at John doubtfully, and the word "sister" was forcefully swallowed.
As expected, the people who were mixed in the underworld were all different from the others. Other than Andy, who was still normal, the others were all weird like this.
Su Wanbai let out a light sigh and fell silent.
After an unknown period of time, Su Wen fell into a deep sleep.
"Miss Su, we're here!" John gently shook Su Wanbai's shoulders.
"Oh." Su Wanbai opened her sleepy eyes, and the blurry image slowly became clear. Through the glass window, a bright and refreshing feeling that had never been there before rushed at him.
Su Wanbai walked to the deck and looked into the distance. There were blue skies, white clouds, clear water and lakeside. The Harbour Bridge and the Sydney Opera House appeared clearly in her line of sight. Su Wanbai opened her arms in excitement and greedily inhaled the salty air. At this moment, my father must be in the sky smiling at her, she is happy, he will be happy!
A familiar voice seemed to sound in his ears: "You're still young, your future days will be more and more beautiful!"
After the yacht docked, Su Wanbai followed John towards a red Ferrari.
"Miss Su, the boss gave you this car, do you like it?" asked John.
"You don't need to be so extravagant, do you? Besides, I'm here to travel, not to flaunt my wealth! " Towards Andy's childish attitude, Su Wanbai didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"Boss said that you must accept this gift, or else you will look down on him." said John.
"Then... "Fine." Su Wanbai shook her head helplessly.
Andy arranged a place for Su Wanbai to stay in a villa that was located at the outskirts of the city. The house was not big, but it was very warm and cozy.
Andy had arranged the rest of the travel for them personally, and it was very tight as well. She knew Andy's intentions. Didn't they say to travel? That should see the scenic spot time to finish, so that she can return to Vancouver. With his protection, Su Wanbai would not encounter any more dangers.
Su Wanbai called Andy.
"Do you want to tire me to death by rushing me out every day?" Su Wanbai asked.
"I'm just afraid that you might have any random thoughts." Andy mischievously laughed.
"Let John take these bodyguards back. I won't be leaving for a while." Su Wanbai's tone suddenly changed, as she became serious.
"Didn't we agree …" Andy couldn't react for a while.
Su Wanbai was straightforward, she did not even give Andy the chance to speak and directly hung up the phone. He really didn't expect that his little brother was so adamant on managing people that even she, as his big sister, had to follow his arrangements. Although she knew that he meant well, she still wanted to take control of her life.
She had wanted to take a break, but she had fallen in love with Sydney from the first moment she saw it. She really wanted to stay. She wanted to live here. This desire was actually so strong, so strong that even she was unable to control it. Or perhaps, there was an invisible thread pulling her towards that dangerous man.
Andy could not refuse her, and could only agree to her request. However, he did not withdraw his bodyguard. If someone wanted to harm her, he could guarantee her safety with his bodyguard.
Fate was such a wonderful thing. On the afternoon of the day that Su Wanbai arrived in Sydney, Murong Aotian also came.
Of course he wasn't here to look for Su Wanbai, she was only here to make a final assessment of the establishment of the branch. Competition in the domestic industry is now so bitter that many big companies are looking overseas. However, investing was a huge gamble. There was no business that could not be won. Old Master Murong had aged, and he was no longer as brave and valiant as he was in the past. In the past few years, his son had made him break out in a cold sweat due to his large movements across industries. This time, it would be too risky for his son to put a third of his money into the Macau branch.
Murong Aotian had personally come this time to give Old Master Murong a peace of mind pill.
Housekeeper Li had already booked a hotel for Murong Aotian, and the location of the hotel was just opposite of Su Wanbai's residence.
At midnight, Murong Aotian stood in front of the window with a cup of red wine.
In the dead of night, he would think about her madly, even if it was just to hold her in his arms and listen to her talk.
In fact, he should have hated her. She loved another man so quickly, without him. Regardless if Andy had been ordered by her to kill him or not, he had never thought of hurting her. In the past, he lived a good life without Su Wanbai. But right now, he couldn't imagine how he would be able to live without Su Wanbai in the future. He knew that she hated him, but he didn't know how to treat her in order to obtain her heart!
Get her heart? Thinking of this, he was shocked by his own words.
Why did he want her heart? Wasn't it enough for someone who had once had her?
Murong Aotian ruthlessly smashed the cup on the ground, the sound of it shattering sounded exceptionally desolate in the silent space.
He took the bottle of wine and tilted his head back, gulping down the entire bottle.
It was good that he was drunk. These inexplicable emotions trapped him tightly, making it hard for him to breathe.
In the early morning, a faint sunlight shone through the window. On the messy bed, Murong Aotian was still deep in sleep. There was a faint smile on his lips, as if he was still immersed in a sweet dream. His long eyelashes left a faint shadow on the bridge of his nose, and her pursed lips slightly parted. His blurry sleep accompanied the cries of the seagulls outside the window, creating an unprecedented tranquility and peace.
"Ding — — Ding — —" A burst of urgent ringing sounds came from his phone.
"Hello, who is this?" Murong Aotian picked up the phone, his voice low and hoarse.
"Brother, it's me. Daddy, he …" "I'm afraid …" It was Murong Aojie's voice that sounded like he was crying.
"Afraid of what?" Murong Aotian sat up with a "Teng" sound, his bloodshot eyes filled with a gloomy aura.
"I'm afraid... I'm afraid it's almost over, hurry up and … "Hurry up and come back!" After Murong Aojie finished speaking, he began to bawl like a child.
Murong Aotian frowned, he hung up and got off the bed.
The old man's body had always been strong and healthy, and he hadn't found any problems during his weekly checkups. They were almost at their limits? How is that possible?
Carrying many questions, Murong Aotian left the hotel at the fastest speed possible.
Sitting in the back seat of the car, Murong Aotian looked outside the window with a gloomy expression. At the first intersection, a familiar figure appeared in his line of sight. Just as he was about to take a closer look, the green light lit up. Murong Aotian rolled down the window and looked out, but the figure had already disappeared.
"Young Master, what's wrong?" Housekeeper Li asked.
Murong Aotian retracted his gaze and frowned.
How is that possible? There were too many people in the world who looked alike. How could he be so sure that she was Su Wanbai from a distance, just by looking at his back? Murong Aotian laughed at himself as the corners of his mouth curled into a bitter smile of disappointment.
As the car gradually drove away, the figure in the distance turned around.
A little white dog barked continuously behind her. She crouched down and the dog jumped into her arms. Looking around, it seemed that the owner of the puppy was not here. Maybe it was a stray dog, Su Wanbai thought as she carried the puppy away. The puppy was very obedient. It narrowed its eyes and docilely hid in the arms of its new owner.
And the new master, was Su Wanbai!
