130: Chapter 130 He Feels Ashamed 130: Chapter 130 He Feels Ashamed Su He and the others arrived in Y country at eleven o’clock at night.
Twenty-one hours had passed since Su Yimo had been taken away.
Bai Yang had arrived in Y country one step ahead of her.
Walking shoulder to shoulder with Su He was a man exuding the air of a king.
His face was as handsome as a crafted jade, with thick eyebrows and starry eyes, and his whole being radiated nobility and solidity.
He was struck dumb.
He knew Su He was married.
But he had never seen her in person before.
This was his first time meeting Jiang Yan, and the overpowering aura he exuded made him feel suffocated.
He coughed lightly, looking at Su He: “Boss, I’ve arranged everything, Young Master Ye won’t know that you’ve already arrived in Y country.”
Su He saw his hesitance and her expression darkened, “Speak your mind.”
Bai Yang spoke somewhat timidly: “It’s just that, we can’t get onto Zhu Feng Island right now.
Young Master Ye has given orders that no one is allowed onto the island without his command.”
Zhu Feng Island was Ye Jiuqing’s territory, and its defense system was the most advanced and high-end.
Ye Jiuqing’s order was obviously directed at her.
Although she knew every detail of the island, caution was still advisable; she shouldn’t barge in rashly.
She really couldn’t understand, what exactly did he want to do?
Su He’s face darkened, “Find a way to contact him!”
Bai Yang nodded: “Okay.”
The group checked into a hotel.
Jiang Yan had some food sent up, and the two of them ate a little.
Su He leaned on the sofa, looking at the man pouring water for her.
From the beginning to the end, he had never asked about Ye Jiuqing.
“Have some water.”
The man handed her the glass of water he had just filled.
She took a sip and handed it back.
“Don’t you want to ask who Ye Jiuqing is?” Su He blinked, looking at him.
The man held the glass she had just sipped from and drank it all in one go.
He glanced at her, his eyes tender: “You’ll tell me when you’re ready, I won’t force you.”
“Even if you don’t tell me, I will have someone investigate,” he added after a moment.
Su He pondered for a while before speaking: “He’s my senior brother.
Both of us were trained by the same person.
I’ve known him since I was seventeen.
However, he is quite paranoid, almost to the point of madness.”
Jiang Yan sat down beside her, his long arm casually resting on the back of the sofa, and his hand gently touched the back of her head.
“Are you worried he might hurt the little guy?”
Hearing this, Su He responded, “I’m not quite sure.”
Ye Jiuqing was unpredictable, with moods that changed drastically.
At this moment, she couldn’t guess why he had taken Su Yimo.
In the past, she deliberately kept him away from Su Baobao for a reason.
Jiang Yan pinched the back of her neck: “Alright, leave this to me.
Go get some sleep.”
The man stood up, bent down, and carried her into the room.
He gently placed her on the bed, tucked her in, and kissed her forehead.
“You’re not alone, you have me, so sleep peacefully.”
His warm eyes watched her, gently stroking her soft hair.
Su He blinked her long lashes, murmuring an “Mhm.”
Jiang Yan stayed with her until she fell asleep.
From the flight up to now, she hadn’t closed her eyes.
He knew she had been keeping her nerves tightly wound; her relaxation and calm were all a facade.
Once she truly relaxed, she quickly drifted into sleep.
Jiang Yan got up and tiptoed out of the room.
Outside, Jiang Feng was waiting with a man and a woman.
The gentle glow around the man dissipated, replaced by a chilling, powerful aura.
The three of them were used to it.
They stood straight, side by side, and called out in unison: “Master.”
Jiang Feng was the first to speak: “Master, we’ve found the information.”
As he spoke, he passed over a folder.
“Ye Jiuqing, a citizen of Y country, an orphan, adopted by the father of the Y country mafia, Ron, at the age of eight.
He took over the mafia at eighteen and became the new Godfather, known as Young Master Jiuqing.
In terms of style and methods, he is even more violent, cruel and cold-blooded than his adoptive father.”
In short, he could only be described as insane and twisted!
Moreover, no one in Y country dared to provoke him; they would rather take a detour upon seeing him, fearful of accidentally becoming a restless spirit.
Jiang Feng added another sentence: “Zhu Feng Island is Young Master Jiuqing’s lair, equipped with the most top-tier defense system.
Within a ten-kilometer radius, any approaching creature will be detected immediately, and upon discovery, an alarm will sound.”
In other words, before they even reached the island, they would have been shot into a hornet’s nest.
The man’s slender fingers flipped through the documents in his hand, quickly scanning them.
The man’s gaze stayed dark and deep as he stared at a photo in the documents, silent.
At this moment.
Inside the villa on Zhu Feng Island.
Su Yimo was locked in a room.
The little guy lay on the bed, eyes fixated on the ceiling.
His small hand touched his round belly, so hungry.
Who knows which wire that weird uncle crossed, he wouldn’t even let anyone feed him.
He whimpered softly, “┭┮﹏┭┮ baby is so hungry, I miss Mommy so much…”
Thinking about it, he fell asleep.
Downstairs in the villa.
Ye Jiuqing sat on the sofa.
“How is the child?”
His voice was very low, as if enveloped in a thin layer of ice, giving one the feeling of being in the midst of a blizzard.
“Reporting to Young Master Jiuqing, he is not crying or causing trouble, just lying on the bed by himself.”
Ye Jiuqing responded with an “Oh,” somewhat surprised.
This kid’s temperament is somewhat similar to that dead girl Su He.
After a while, a man walked in.
“Young Master, I have a matter to report.”
Ye Jiuqing’s face was stern, and with his lips barely moving, every word he uttered was tinged with coldness.
“Speak!”
“Prince Helian just called, wanting to meet you.
He said, he wants to discuss the latest batch of firearms with you.”
Ye Jiuqing’s face, fair like jade, was as cold as a robot.
The man then added another sentence: “Prince Helian also mentioned, the location is up to you.”
Ye Jiuqing: “Tell him, tomorrow night at ten, Yilie Pier.”
“Yes, Young Master Jiuqing.”
——
In Country Y in October, the morning air carried a trace of coolness.
Last night, Su He slept very deeply, all the way until dawn.
As she opened her eyes, what she saw was Jiang Yan’s handsome face.
She was held in the man’s embrace, and he was like a furnace.
Overnight, stubble had emerged on his jaw again, and she reached out to touch it, finding it prickly.
Her hand traced along the contours of his face.
She had never thought before, that one day she would have such close contact with Jiang Yan.
Originally, she thought that when she came back this time, they would divorce when the time came.
Go their separate ways, not bothering each other.
But many things have veered off from her expectations.
She never expected that the man before her had always liked her.
Because of her parents’ affairs, as soon as she understood matters between men and women, she was very resistant and opposed to feelings.
For those promises of eternal love and undying loyalty, she was genuinely uninterested.
The man’s dark and long eyelashes quivered slightly, and his eyes, bleary, opened.
Their eyes met.
Su He, encountering the man’s deep and dark pupils, was like a kitten caught sneaking a treat, somewhat embarrassed.
“Did I wake you?”
Her hand was still on his cheek, and just as she was thinking of withdrawing it, the man’s warm palm covered hers.
“No.”
The man’s voice was husky, with the magnetism of first waking in the morning.
It was so softening to hear.
Su He’s ears embarrassingly softened.
Their hot breath intertwined, causing her heartbeat to race.
Jiang Yan saw her slightly reddened earlobes and the corner of his mouth lifted in a slight smile.
Then, gently, he placed a kiss on her forehead.
Su He, startled, immediately withdrew her hand from his palm and coughed lightly: “I’m getting up now, if you’re still sleepy, just sleep a bit longer.”
With that, she quickly slipped out of his embrace, threw off the bedcover, got down to the floor, and ran towards the washroom.
Standing in front of the washstand, she looked at her reflection in the mirror with flushed cheeks.
She slapped her cheeks with both hands and muttered, “Su He, when did you become so useless?
Blushing at the slightest thing, it’s so embarrassing!”
After brushing her teeth, she took the opportunity to shower, having fallen asleep last night without washing.
This man didn’t mind; he had held her as they slept through the night, which was indeed rare.
After she finished washing up, she found no change of clothes and had to step out wrapped in a bathrobe.
They had arrived in such a hurry yesterday that they brought nothing with them.
As she pushed open the bathroom door, Jiang Yan was standing there, startling her.
“I’m done washing up, it’s your turn now.”
She came out and made way for him.
But the next second, the man pulled her back inside.
“Dry your hair first, I’ve had someone prepare a change of clothes for you, you can change later.”
Before she could ask, the man’s low, magnetic voice sounded close to her ear.
Su He blinked and watched him skillfully find the hairdryer and plug it in.
Soon after, the buzzing sound of the hairdryer filled the bathroom.
Su He obediently stood in front of him, letting him fiddle with her hair.
Forty minutes later.
The two sat in the living room, eating breakfast brought by the service staff.
Half an hour later.
Jiang Feng arrived with Fei Yang and Fei Yue, along with Bai Yang.
“Master, Young Madam.”
Su He had never met Fei Yang and Fei Yue and was slightly startled.
“Master, we’ve been searching all night but haven’t been able to figure out the island’s map, there’s too little information about Zhu Feng Island,” Jiang Feng said.
Su He lifted her eyelids and looked toward the man beside her, asking, “What are you planning to do?”
Maps of Zhu Feng Island were impossible for outsiders to collect, and even if they did, they were fake.
Young Master Ye valued his life and was always careful in his affairs, never disclosing any information about his location.
Jiang Yan said, “Tonight, I’ll be meeting with Prince Helian from Country Y and Young Master Ye, so he will temporarily leave Zhu Feng Island.
During this period, I’ll keep him occupied; we’ll have people infiltrate the island.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Su He looked grave and said, “No, you can’t meet him.”
Jiang Yan noticed her upset demeanor and asked, “Why?”
Su He was taken aback.
Why?
She surely couldn’t say it was because of a dream she had last night?
She had a bad dream the night before.
“There is no why,” she could only excuse herself on the spot.
A glint of stardust passed through the man’s dark eyes, and the corners of his lips curled into a gentle tone, “I know you’re worried about me, don’t worry, nothing will happen to me.”
Jiang Feng was already used to the tenderness of his boss.
But Fei Yang and Fei Yue were dumbstruck.
Was this really their cold and unfeeling Master?
Bai Yang didn’t feel much different, the only feeling was that he seemed to see a hint of shyness in his boss.
It was unprecedented.
“…”
Su He couldn’t argue with him and had to agree.
At the same time, she provided him with the true map of Zhu Feng Island and the positions of all the secret guards on the island.
Jiang Feng was taken aback, “Young Madam, how do you know everything so clearly?”
Before Su He could answer, Bai Yang spoke up for her, “Because all the secret guards on the island were placed by my boss in the past.”
Jiang Feng and the others were stunned: “…”
Su He stated calmly, “However, I am not sure if Young Master Ye has made any changes.”
After all, he knew that she was aware of everything on the island.
Given the game he was playing, it was unlikely he would allow her to land on the island so easily.
Jiang Yan: “Leave this to them, you don’t have to worry, just wait in the hotel.”
Upon hearing his words, Su He gave a subtle nod, “Oh, got it.”
Until nine o’clock at night.
Jiang Yan finally left the hotel with Jiang Feng.
Su He sat in the hotel room, and about twenty minutes later, someone knocked on the door.
She got up to open it.
Bai Yang, dressed in a black assault jacket, stood outside.
“Boss, we can leave now.”
Su He nodded.
The two left the hotel together and then boarded a black sedan.
In the car.
Su He asked, “Still no contact with him?”
Bai Yang replied, “Young Master Ye has blocked all our channels and isn’t answering our calls.”
Su He pressed her tongue against the corner of her lips, a hint of unusual color flitted through her eyes: “Don’t let me see him!”
Bai Yang felt a chill at the back of his head and silently stopped speaking.
He really didn’t understand why Young Master Ye would catch Xixi for no reason.
Isn’t this just digging his own grave?
The night shrouded every corner.
Ten o’clock.
Yilie Pier was brightly lit, a row of bulletproof luxury cars entered the dock.
After disembarking from the car, Ye Jiuqing walked towards a ship and then boarded it.
Helian Lu had arrived early; seeing him arrive, he merely greeted him simply.
Ye Jiuqing sat down, cocked a leg over the other in a lazy manner, and looked at Helian Lu nonchalantly.
Helian Lu sighed involuntarily when he looked at Ye Jiuqing’s face, pale as a demon.
This man really was born beautiful.
Sometimes, when he saw him, he even felt inferior.
“Speak up, I’ll give you just ten minutes,” Ye Jiuqing arrogantly said, his tone laced with a frosty aloofness.
Helian Lu was no longer surprised by his attitude.
“Tonight, it’s not me who wants to talk to you; someone else wants to talk to you.”
No sooner had Helian Lu spoken, than Ye Jiuqing’s brow furrowed, and the icy glint in his eyes deepened.
“Helian Lu, are you playing with me?”
“How could this be called playing?”
Helian Lu shrugged his shoulders innocently, and said earnestly, “What I’m doing is setting up the connection for you, expanding your pathways.”
In the whole of C country, indeed everybody was afraid of Ye Jiuqing.
But Helian Lu alone was not.
Ye Jiuqing kicked the table in front of him, causing a loud bang.
“Do I damn need you to set up connections for me?
Huh?!”
Helian Lu didn’t even blink an eye.
Other people would have gone weak in the knees upon seeing Ye Jiuqing get angry.
He clicked his tongue and said in a casual tone, “Look at you, always cursing people and getting angry.
Be careful, or you’ll end up with a face full of wrinkles, unable to get a wife, and without a wife, you won’t be able to continue your family line.
When you die one day, your fortune will be passed on to someone else, how big of a loss would that be, right?”
“Are you damn sick?”
“How did you know?” Helian Lu pretended to be surprised: “I just got diagnosed with a cold stomach the other day.”
Ye Jiuqing: “…”
Ye Jiuqing used his tongue to press against his cheekbones and gave him an idiot’s glance, then stood up, ready to leave.
But just as he rose, a dark shadow appeared.
“Young Master Ye, sorry to keep you waiting.”
Jiang Yan, dressed in a black suit, appeared before Ye Jiuqing.
The aura emanating from him wasn’t the least bit weaker than the other two in the room; in fact, it made the entire cabin feel even more oppressive.
Ye Jiuqing narrowed his eyes slightly, scrutinizing the man before him.
He looked somewhat familiar; he seemed to have seen him somewhere.
Facing Ye Jiuqing’s scrutiny, Jiang Yan felt no pressure.
He introduced himself naturally and simply: “Jiang Yan.”
Jiang Yan?
Ye Jiuqing frowned, icy blue eyes filled with coldness that could send shivers down anyone’s spine.
“What is your relationship with Su He?”
Jiang Yan spoke elegantly and composedly: “She is my wife.
Why, does Young Master Ye know my wife?”
Helian Lu suddenly smelled a strong scent of gunpowder and a hint of juicy gossip.
“…”
Meanwhile, Fei Yang and Fei Yue were shocked to see Su He, who was supposed to stay at the hotel, appearing here.
“You are not familiar with Zhu Feng Island, and even with my map, it would be difficult for you to sneak onto it.
You’d probably be discovered before you even got close,” Su He said calmly: “And the night security is stricter than during the day.”
“I have a way to get on the island, but I don’t need that many people.” Her gaze swept sharply over the dozens of people behind them.
For some reason, Fei Yang and Fei Yue actually felt Jiang Yan’s presence emanating from Su He.
In the end, she only brought three people to the island.
