Chapter 283 - ONE INDISPUTABLE TRUTH (1/2)

Hu Lei rushed out of the office and followed the route through which she had been brought through earlier in the day. As she walked, she felt anxious about seeing Zhong Feng. She did not know why she felt so much anticipation.

A small thought arose: what if he did not come? ​​

However, she brushed it off.

Even if he did not come on the ship, she would rush home to him.

Just as she was about to go to the upper deck, she was faced by a group of military men with firearms in hand. The muzzles faced her in unison, causing her to stop.

When she would have explained her identity, one of the men motioned for the soldiers to lower their guns. He lifted the face shield of his gear.

”Jiang Ting!” Hu Lei recognised him right away.

She had not met him numerous times, but she would not forget Beatrice's brother. He indicated for her to follow him while the soldiers went the way she had come in.

”Is there anyone else down there?” He asked.

”There were some mercenaries and the head of the ship. One of the mercenaries turned against his companions and their leader and killed them all.” She explained concisely.

”What about that man?”

”We fought for a while, but he was quite tough. I had the upper hand for a moment, but he had a gun. I don't know if I managed to take him down or not.” She frowned.

As Jiang Ting was about to question her further, she saw two people step out from another part of the ship. However, her eyes were glued to one person.

She felt tears build up in her eyes, and she ran toward him, leaving Jiang Ting with an open mouth. Her feet seemed to grow wings as she ran.

The man opened his arms and she jumped without care into his ċhėst. She did not care about anything anymore as she held him tightly in her arms.

The tears which had stung when she had seen him flowed from her eyes.

She felt like she was home.

They remained in the same position for a while until another person broke the moment with a dramatic cough.

Hu Lei removed her head from the crook of Zhong Feng's neck and glared at Kaito. He always knew how to ruin a moment.

”Don't single people deserve happiness? And where is my hug? I sold my body for your sake.” The self-proclaimed senior brother bickered without guilt.
