"Stop! Don't run!" A shout resonated, followed by frantic footsteps, as if they were chasing someone. Those who were camping nearby froze in place.
Liu Yuexin stood up first. Since their arrival, she had found this island to be weird. Could there be an ambush set up here for a robbery?
Such audacity, to commit a crime at her tourist spot, she wanted to see who was so bold!
But the person ahead was running faster and faster, Liu Yuexin was barely able to keep up. At some point, the person in front halted abruptly. The dim light did not reveal a woman standing behind all of them.
Seeing the person stop running, someone spoke, "Rumor has it that President He is worth billions, but today I'm afraid he's going to die in my hands!"
"Our boss is about to become the ruler of City A! Congratulations boss!"
Liu Yuexin stood flabbergasted, not catching everything they said, except their intention to kill someone.
The person referred to as "Boss" suddenly lifted a stick, seemingly gathering all his strength for a strike.
Without time to respond, Liu Yuexin quickly ran up and blocked the man.
A refreshing scent filled the air, as the man casually glanced at the woman who had taken the blow for him.
The assailant with the stick was also startled, unable to withdraw, but he lessened his force. Regardless, the stick still landed hard on Liu Yuexin's back.
Liu Yuexin let out a grunt, turning around to give them a lesson. But a pair of hands quickly grasped hers and pulled her into a run!
The group behind them snapped back to reality and started to chase after them.
Liu Yuexin struggled a bit, this was her turf, why should she run?
The man suddenly stopped, speaking with a gloomy tone, "There's no way forward."
An abyss-like cliff stretched out in front of them.
But behind them, a group of people had already surrounded them. The man in front snickered cruelly, "Aren't you very powerful? Well, maybe if you surrender now, I might just spare your life."
Seeing the man remain silent, Liu Yuexin refused to show weakness, "Do you know who I am? My father just bought this place, this is all my territory now!"
"I don’t care who you are! If I dare to kill him, why would I be afraid of you?"
Liu Yuexin suddenly realized the seriousness of the situation. She really was foolish. Why didn't she bring people with her?
Only then did the man behind her speak disdainfully, "Let her go. Whether it's one on one or all of you together, I'm game."
There was no detectable emotion in his voice, yet it exuded a demonic charm and a touch of arrogance. Liu Yuexin couldn't help but shiver.
The man leading the group hesitated for a moment, knowing he couldn’t beat He Nanzhu. He gestured to the people behind him, and they all came swarming at once.
He Nanzhu swiftly sprang into action, his moves chillingly decisive, each blow causing lethal damage.
But, under such circumstances, no one had the time to appreciate his flair.
As more and more people surged forward, He Nanzhu, with a swift rotation, charged towards the cliff. Seeing this, Liu Yuexin quickly rushed forward, subconsciously reaching out to grab him.
"Ah!"
The sudden fall sent chills down Liu Yuexin's spine, prompting her to scream. A pair of hands pulled her into an embrace and Liu Yuexin fiercely hugged the man's waist.
The two disappeared at the edge of the cliff together.
"Boss, they've fallen down!" One of them peered into the abyss below.
"Blimey, such a high cliff, if they don't die, they'll end up in a vegetative state!"
"Who dares to challenge our Boss in City A hereafter!"
Hearing their crooked discussions, a man, addressed as the "Boss," finally displayed a smug smile on his face.
...
When she woke up, it was already noon. Liu Yuexin looked around to find they had landed in the sea. She remembered they both had fallen whilst clinging to each other, being pounded by the sea waves before they hit the ground.
Only then did Liu Yuexin get a closer look at him. The man was wearing a black T-shirt, the blood stains on him effectively hidden by the washing of seawater.
She found a clear-cut face as she looked up, lips tightly closed, eyebrows slightly furrowed as if ready for a fight at any moment.
But nevertheless, he was good-looking...
"This man..." Liu Yuexin said, shaking her head helplessly.
Alright, might as well do a good deed. She should first see if there were any houses nearby.
Dragging her exhausted body, Liu Yuexin took a roundabout walk, but were there any signs of human habitation? Not even a cell signal, as if she had stepped into the primitive ages.
What to do? This man can't die, she couldn’t possibly be left here alone.
Thinking of this, Liu Yuexin’s eyes filled with tears, as she blankly stared at the unconscious man before her.
She was so scared, feared of dying just like that. She hasn't even gotten married yet...
Tears streamed down her face rapidly until a pair of hands reached out, and with a slight push, Liu Yuexin unexpectedly fell into a man's embrace.
As the man savored the long-awaited scent, his eyebrows gradually relaxed. A curve formed at the edge of his lips, and a pure voice rang out, "Why are you crying."
Liu Yuexin's brain seemed unresponsive, she nervously lay there, her ears filled with the man's powerful heartbeat. She was at a loss for what to do.
"Do you know where this is?" the man asked again.
Liu Yuexin finally rose awkwardly, "It's my first time here, how could I know the way?"
The man also stood up and spoke lightly, "Looks like I'm going to starve here with a strange woman..."
"Hey! What do you mean? They said you're the President He or something, right? You are so capable, would you starve? Or are you not as great as they say?"
Seeing the little woman getting flustered, He Nanzhu no longer teased her, "Someone will come to rescue us before dark."
Liu Yuexin was skeptical, "Really?"
He Nanzhu nodded, no longer caring about her doubtful gaze. He began to strip off his clothes.
"What are you doing? Pervert!" Liu Yuexin quickly turned her head away.
"Can't you see I'm injured? My clothes are difficult to get off because they're wet, it's extremely uncomfortable."
"But... you can't just undress in front of me!"
The man simply chuckled, "In reality, there's not much difference from you being undressed right now..."
After saying that, his gaze openly raked over her, revealing the beauty of her perfect figure.
Liu Yuexin quickly covered her chest and turned her head away.
He NanZhu sized her up, his eyes darkening, "Are you from the Liu family?"
Liu Yuexin nodded, "Yes, what's up?"
It was not surprising that He NanZhu recognized her. After all, the Liu family was a prominent figure in City A.
He NanZhu chuckled lightly, his hands elegantly tucked into his pockets, "The fact that the second Miss Liu doesn't recognize who I am indicates that the Liu Family is due for bankruptcy!"
Why should I recognize you! Are you so great? Did the Liu Family provoke you? Looks like I've saved the wrong person! Liu Yuexin shot him an indignant look.
The second Miss Liu? How did he know she was the second lady? Her sister was their father's illegitimate daughter, and for the sake of maintaining his reputation, their father had never made it public.
And there he stood, He NanZhu, watching her with a bemused smile, not uttering a word.
Just as Liu Yuexin was about to ask him how he knew, the sound of a helicopter gradually filled the air.
Liu Yuexin looked up, watched a plane land and a man disembarking from it.
Liu Yuexin was stunned, "You are... Ji Cheng...?"
She had only seen this man a few times on television. Her friend Qingqing had always mentioned how handsome he was...and now she was seeing him in person...
