Chapter 231: The wooden beauty of Young Master Sheng
Chapter 231: Dream-Like Appearance
The long night finally passed.
Dawn arrived.
Sunlight streamed through the window, and Jiang Chenchen, having consumed half a bottle of wine, remained unusually calm.
Outside the door, there were pounding sounds.
The captain of the guard shouted warnings.
She held the hunting rifle, ready for whatever came.
Jiang Chenchen walked to the window, looking at the vast sea. Beyond enduring one more night, victory awaited her.
In the deep blue sea, something seemed to be approaching.
Waves surged, reminiscent of a dream she once had. A gigantic sea creature appeared suddenly before her eyes. However, it wasn't a sea monster but a super yacht!
As it came closer, she finally saw the people on the yacht's deck.
He was still draped in black, with the flag fluttering behind him, emitting a cold and imposing aura. But with the sunlight shining on him, a fusion of extreme white and black, against the backdrop of the turbulent deep sea, he became the most dazzling presence in this summer.
She suspected that the effects of the half bottle of wine were playing tricks on her, making the person she wanted to see appear in this dream-like way.
Her heartbeat accelerated abnormally, and the pain in her heart became more pronounced.
She covered her chest, watching the person in the distance. For the first time, she deeply realized that she didn't want to become his family out of dependence but because she genuinely liked him.
Even from afar, she felt an ecstatic joy, despite the pain in her heart.
The door behind her was forcefully kicked open, and a swarm of people rushed in, aiming their guns at her.
However, Jiang Chenchen was prepared. She shattered the glass with the hunting rifle, jumped down from the window, and landed on a platform on the 10th floor.
The assistant and the guards exclaimed, rushing to the window to see her jumping onto the platform, shattering the glass, and flipping into the 10th floor.
The room where a woman had allegedly committed suicide.
In this room, people were lying on the bed or around it, sleeping deeply.
Weren't these the people like Xiaoqiu?
She approached Xiaoqiu, tested her breathing, which was long and steady in deep sleep.
Was this the room where all those eliminated in this game were transferred and placed? She didn't have time to see how many people were here. She opened the door and rushed out. There were no guards on the 10th floor.
All the guards were on the 11th floor!
They were currently coming down to intercept her. So, Jiang Chenchen didn't take the elevator; instead, she used the stairs. She slid down the banister, and those chasing from the stairs below couldn't catch up with her speed, but a bullet swept past her within range.
However, an urgent command came over the intercom, prohibiting shooting.
Watching her speed increase, she eventually disappeared from their sight.
...
Jiang Chenchen successfully descended without any hindrance and arrived on the deck of the first floor. She saw a familiar face negotiating with others, and she suddenly slowed her pace.
Indeed, it was him, not a dream.
He was really there.
As his cold gaze swept over, she met his eyes. In the vastness of the sea, it seemed like nothing else mattered; her eyes only saw him, the most dazzling existence in this world, bathed in the sunlight like the sun.
Even though it had only been two nights, it felt like a long time.
She felt like crying.
Sheng Mingsi walked toward her with a stern expression. His tall and handsome figure was exceptionally eye-catching on this deck. The chilling aura pervaded his whole being, but when he approached Jiang Chenchen, that icy sharpness vanished, leaving only a cautious fear.
He reached out and pulled her into his arms, holding her tightly.
In that warm embrace, with a familiar scent, Jiang Chenchen buried herself in his arms, tears streaming silently.
The long night had passed, and brightness was before her.
"Ah Si..." she called out.
Looking down at her, he gently stroked her face. The broken glass had scratched her cheek, leaving fine marks on her fair skin. His hands trembled uncontrollably. His pitch-black eyes showed a hint of red, and his voice was filled with unrestrained self-blame, "Chenchen, I arrived too late. I'm really at fault."
Jiang Chenchen quickly shook her head, rubbing her eyes. Her voice was joyful, "No, thank you for coming, Ah Si. I'm so happy. You're right in front of me, and all of this is not a dream."
Sheng Mingsi learned about the cruise arranged by his mother as soon as he received the information and immediately abandoned a crucial business trip. It was undoubtedly a design by his mother to delay him.
And this time, Gu Mingmei also deceived him.
He originally believed that his trustworthy elder sister wouldn't lie to him. Yet, she deceived him to cooperate with their mother, fabricating false information.
And in two nights, so many unexpected and irreparable things could happen.
He hated himself a bit. Why did something that could be avoided have to happen?
"Chenchen..."
His eyes were bloodshot, and he held her shoulders, his tone cold yet resolute. "This kind of thing won't happen again in the future, even if she's my mother, it's unforgivable!"
No one could harm her! Not even his mother!
Guards from the security team rushed to the entrance of the deck. Jiang Chenchen was afraid they would open fire, and there was no cover on this deck, making the target clear.
She immediately turned around, reaching out to shield Sheng Mingsi. She addressed them, "Don't shoot!"
She intended to drop the hunting rifle in her hands but was taken by Sheng Mingsi.
His sharp gaze swept forward.
The muzzle of the hunting rifle aimed at the face of the captain of the security team. Sheng Mingsi, with a noble and indifferent posture, asked coldly, "Who was about to shoot?"
"No, no, no!! There was no intention to shoot. It's all a misunderstanding!"
The captain of the security team quickly holstered his gun, raising his hands, looking terrified, and said to the others, "Put your weapons down!"
In the midst of a chaotic mix of fear, everyone raised their hands to show sincerity.
No one dared to offend Sheng Mingsi, the young master of the imperial capital. At this moment, it was evident that his anger was rising uncontrollably, and whoever crossed paths with his gun would be damned!
But there was no intention to move the gun an inch.
The captain was sweating coldly. "Young Master Sheng..."
Sheng Mingsi stared at him with cold eyes, his expression indifferent. "Come over and explain what happened here, and I will spare you."
The captain had already explained part of it to the captain. Still, he wanted to hear what methods his mother had used to what extent.
The captain didn't dare to delay even a moment and hurriedly approached, explaining everything voluntarily, fearing that he might annoy Sheng Mingsi if he were even a second late.
However, Sheng Mingsi didn't let him speak first. Instead, he reached out to touch Jiang Chenchen's head and whispered, "Chenchen, are you tired? Go to the yacht and rest. I'll be right there."
"Ah Si..."
Jiang Chenchen looked up at him, always a bit worried about him.
Sheng Mingsi ruffled her hair gently, his voice softening, "Be obedient."
Meeting his gaze, Jiang Chenchen nodded. As she followed Wu Bi down to the yacht, she said to him, "I'll wait for you."
