Chapter 667 - Stalemate (2/2)
His voice was loud and strong. The surface of the sea seemed to be affected by his emotions. It had just turned calm but waves started to appear.
The boat moved up and down in a bobbing motion.
Their hearts sank deeper and deeper.
Ye Lun replied, “Alright.”
About half a second later, he instructed his men then spoke to Bai Muchuan.
“I’ll get Teacher Xiang out now.”
…
There were two men guarding Xiang Wan in the cabin.
She had heard what Bai Muchuan had said, as well as Ye Lun’s reply.
However, she wouldn’t be able to make a sound until one of the henchmen removed the cloth they stuffed in her mouth.
She was still a little dizzy and confused over what had happened that night.
She had been sleeping throughout the journey as she was drugged. She had a splitting headache ever since she woke up. Earlier on, she looked on helplessly when they dragged a woman out. She wore similar clothes and was of similar build as her. Xiang Wan then realized what Ye Lun wanted to do but there was nothing she could do about it.
One of the most terrible experiences a person could go through was having no control over their own actions and words.
“Come out, Teacher Xiang.”
Ye Lun was standing at the entrance of the cabin. His hands were in his pockets; he was wearing a casual smile like an extremely polite gentleman.
“Both of your hubbies are calling for you.”
Xiang Wan lifted her eyelids. “Your words sound a little sour?”
Ye Lun narrowed his eyes slightly. “It’s not sour, it’s sweet. Teacher Xiang should take the chance to fully experience this sweet taste, for you might not taste it again…”
Xiang Wan remarked, “You’re vicious.”
Ye Lun let out a cold sneer and shrugged his shoulders. “I did all these to protect myself. Teacher Xiang, surely there’s no need to mind these details?”
Details?
So attaching a bomb on her waist was called a ‘detail’.
Xiang Wan pressed her lips together as she walked out of the cabin.
A verbal argument was meaningless.
She didn’t want to engage in that.
…
Xiang Wan walked on the deck. She could clearly see the vast, boundless sea, yet the atmosphere was so tense that her breathing was not smooth.
She lifted her head and suddenly realized that the night scenery with the moon was especially beautiful.
The round moon hung high up on the sky and the silvery light was being reflected on the sea; the shimmering waters rippling with the waves.
The scene was actually picturesque.
Xiang Wan could feel the weight on her waist. She took a puff of breath and took two steps forward to look at the boat before her.
The distance was still far away and she couldn’t see how the situation was.
But she knew that Bai Muchuan was just over there. She was separated from him for not sure how many days already. He was there now, to save her.
Being the girlfriend of a detective really was an endless, risky cycle…
She didn’t know why she showed a smile as Ye Lun passed the megaphone to her from his henchmen.
“Bai Muchuan.”
Xiang Wan tried to call his name and realized that her voice had gone hoarse.
“I’m here, Xiang Wan.” Bai Muchuan replied instantly.
It felt as though he was standing beside her.
Xiang Wan paused for a moment. “Have you recovered from your cold?”
“…”
