But no matter what, he was just a child. Even if something happened to the Song family’s children, with her father’s stubborn temper, he would definitely not mobilize so many people to create such a big commotion.
What they had to do was not a small matter, they had to intercept the ship at sea.
There was only one cruise ship going out today, and that was a cruise ship under Bai Han.
Bai Han controlled half of the underworld forces in the south of China. He had infiltrated the networks of the underworld of the entire world and was considered a powerful force. Even the Song family dared not touch him.
If he did not find the person he was looking for and offended Bai Han, things would not be easy to handle. Everyone knew that Bai Han had a strange temper and his whereabouts were mysterious, he had only met him a few times and did not have any deep ties with him.
“Ms. Nangong.” Zuo Ming ran over and stopped a distance away from them. He looked at her pleadingly and said, “Please persuade the Sixth Master to come back. The storm outside is too strong. I’m afraid he’ll catch a cold if this continues.”
Nangong Lengyu had long noticed that Huo Ci was standing on the deck. The man’s tall figure stood firmly like a statue even in the hurricane. Even the soldiers standing on the deck began to sway from the strong wind, but he remained unmoved.
When Nangong Lengyu called him for help, Song Shu thought that the two of them might have rekindled their old relationship. When he saw them appearing in the military zone together, he was almost certain.
After all, they used to love each other so much. How could they not feel anything when they met again?
Besides, the two of them already had a daughter and a grandson. With a child, it would not be easy to cut off ties with each other.
“I understand.” Nangong Lengyu had to persuade him even if it was for Xiaoqi’s sake. The temperature was fluctuating throughout the day, and when the storm hit, the temperature would definitely drop. The human body would not be able to withstand such exposure.
“Ms. Nangong.” Zuo Ming saw that she was about to leave and hurriedly handed her a raincoat. On a stormy day at sea, umbrellas could not provide any protection. They could only use raincoats to block the rain.
Nangong Lengyu shook her head and walked straight into the heavy rain. She stood beside the man and looked into the distance like him. Apart from the huge waves on the sea, she could not see anything else.
Huo Ci sensed the woman’s arrival and frowned. From the corner of his eye, he glanced at the person standing beside him. The wind was strong, causing her frail body to sway in the storm.
How could she be so thin and small? She was like a thin piece of paper, a gust of wind could have blown her away. But she stood her ground, rooted to the spot as if nails had grown beneath her feet.
“Huo Ci, let’s go back first!” Nangong Lengyu’s voice was very deep. It was not loud, but every word seemed to have a penetrating power. It was not masked by the storm and he could hear it clearly.
“Okay.” Huo Ci turned around and left.
However, at the next moment, the woman beside him staggered. Her legs seemed to sway and she lost her balance. She was about to fall to the ground.
Huo Ci quickly turned around and hooked his arm around the woman’s waist, he reached out and pulled her into his embrace. Why was her waist so thin? It was as if he could grab it with one hand. She was so thin that his heart started to ache. He covered up his bewilderment and let go of her out of politeness, asking in a deep voice, “Are you alright?”
Nangong Lengyu shook her head. After being drenched in the rain and suffering from the cold, her clothes were soaked. Her body was somewhat stiff and her limbs seemed to be numb. She stood rooted to the ground as though her legs were filled with lead. She could not take another step forward.
“Brother Song.” Nangong Lengyu called out to Song Shu, hoping for his help.
Before Song Shu could get to her side, Huo Ci had already bent down and picked her up by the waist. The way he carried her was frighteningly domineering, his big hands held her waist tightly to prevent her from moving.
“Let go of me.” Nangong Lengyu did not want him to touch her. She struggled for a while and was annoyed. “Huo Ci, let go of me.”
“Yu’er.” Huo Ci suddenly leaned close to her ear and said softly, almost like he was reminiscing about the past. Instantly, he recalled the memories shared by the two of them. It didn’t matter if it was good or bad memories.
Nangong Lengyu’s body stiffened again, and her eyes were filled with anger. “Huo Ci, don’t touch me.”
“Ha!” Huo Ci stuck the tip of his tongue against his teeth. His smile was cold and teasing as he leaned into her ear once again. The wind and rain were very cold, and his breathing became even hotter. “Tell me, which part of you haven’t I touched before?”
If Nangong Lengyu had the strength, she would definitely slap him in the face. However, at that moment, her entire body seemed to be frozen stiff and her limbs were no longer under her control. She did not know why such a situation would happen either. It made her feel worried and afraid. She felt grief and indignation as she shouted, “Scram!”
Song Shu was not a nosy person, but Yu’er called out to him. He walked forward and stopped Huo Ci, who had already entered. “Hand her over to me.”
Huo Ci glanced at him coldly and called out for Zuo Ming.
Zuo Ming immediately stopped him. “General Song, please wait.”
Song Shu’s stern face was filled with anger. “Move.”
Zuo Ming said, “General Song, don’t make things difficult for me.”
Song Shu knew that he couldn’t beat Zuo Ming. The man was previously known as Team Leader Long, part of a mysterious combat organization in China. Later, for some unknown reason, he gave up his bright future and followed a person like Huo Ci. He wasted all his good skills for no reason, it was a pity.
The military doctor had already rushed over. After giving Nangong Lengyu a look, he looked at Huo Ci and said, “Madam Nangong’s body is showing signs of stress after getting drenched in the rain. She’ll be fine after getting warmed up. Drink the medicine first to warm up your body and stomach.”
Nangong Lengyu did not want Huo Ci to see her like this, nor did she want him to look at her. However, in the room, other than her, there was only Huo Ci. The military doctor had already left.
Huo Ci prepared the flu medicine using hot water and passed it to her. “Drink it while it’s hot.”
Nangong Lengyu’s furrowed brows never relaxed. However, her body belonged to herself, so she had to take care of her own body before looking for Xiaoqi. If she were to collapse right now because of the rain, even she would look down on herself.
After she drank the flu medicine in one go, she saw the man take out a candy from somewhere. His slender fingers peeled the candy and placed it in her hand..
