The moment they stepped out of the restaurant, Uncle Lu released his grip on Lin Lang.
Lin Lang snorted heavily, straightened his clothes, and put on an act. "I wouldn't mind, but do you dare board my ship?"
Yan Xianjue smiled and made an inviting gesture. "Please."
Watching the bodyguard vehicles gradually close in around them, Lin Lang flicked his sleeve and walked ahead.
Yan Xianjue followed at an unhurried pace, listening as Uncle Lu quietly reported that they had rescued her, but she was still on the cruise ship and refused to leave with them.
Yan Xianjue was so angry he laughed.
She really thought she was all that, didn't she?
Once aboard the cruise ship, Yan Xianjue saw her sitting there perfectly unharmed, still shouting, "I did everything you told me to do! You promised me before!"
The man seated across from her looked utterly speechless.
Yan Xianjue was equally speechless, especially when he heard Lin Lang's slightly gleeful voice.
"Yan Xianjue, this isn't my problem. She refused to leave on her own."
Upon hearing Yan Xianjue's name, Mrs. Fang's gaze flickered guiltily, but she quickly seemed to think of something and became righteous again. She even took the initiative to complain to Yan Xianjue. "Little Yan, you're finally here! They kidnapped me!"
She raised a finger and casually pointed at the people stationed throughout the cruise ship.
Lin Lang seemed to have returned to his own territory, and his entire body relaxed.
The tension from earlier was gone from his face.
He even seemed quite eager to watch Yan Xianjue make a fool of himself.
Hearing Mrs. Fang's shameless accusation, he curled his lips mockingly. "The surveillance footage of Mrs. Fang voluntarily boarding the ship this morning is still here. Are you already trying to bite back?"
