"Why are you here?" Mu Qi grabbed the cruise driver's collar, his gaze cold and piercing.
"Brother, relax, relax. I'm not with that woman. Time is of the essence, untie me quickly. I'll take you to my cruise ship, I'll take you back."
The cruise driver looked at Mu Qi seriously, with a hint of anger, veins bulging on his neck as he spoke.
Mu Qi tightened his grip on the driver's collar, his brows furrowing even further, his expression impatient and disgusted. "I asked you why you are here?"
"Oh, come on, brother. Why do you keep harping on that question? That's not the point at all!"
Seeing Mu Qi's stubbornness, the cruise driver's eyes flickered, looking extremely guilty.
After all, if he hadn't had a malicious thought back then, he would have been living it up with the money Yun Shudian had given him.
"You're not going to talk?" Mu Qi raised his fist and, without warning, landed a left hook on the cruise driver.
The cruise driver crumpled to the ground. Just as Mu Qi was about to follow up, the driver finally relented.
"I'll talk, I'll talk."
"I'm just a cruise driver who takes guests sightseeing on a fixed route. I never expected that woman to bring you onto my cruise that day and offer me more money if I drove the ship here.
I don't earn much doing this, so when the woman said that, I agreed.
But after arriving at this island, I saw you were dazed and clearly not yourself. I planned to take you back first, and then call the police.
I didn't expect that woman to be watching you so closely and find us so quickly.
That's how she took my phone, tied me up, and locked me in this room."
As the cruise driver recounted his story, Mu Qi's lips gradually curved upwards, until a smile overflowed from his face.
The cruise driver, unable to get up from the floor, didn't notice Mu Qi's smiling expression:
"So, sir, I imagine you've long wanted to stop that pervert from insulting you. Hurry and untie me, I'll help you escape this place."
The cruise driver finished speaking, and Mu Qi's smile faded. "Meddling."
Mu Qi glanced at the water Yun Shudian had left for him on the ground, then walked over to the cruise driver and bent down, hoisting him onto his shoulder with one arm.
Gran Island was an uninhabited area. It was better to make this person disappear than to let Nian Nian worry about him every day.
"What are you doing? Where are you taking me?" The cruise driver struggled restlessly on Mu Qi's shoulder.
"Shut up!" Mu Qi threatened in a cold voice, quickly picking up something he had spat out and stuffing it back into the driver's mouth.
His robust physique, his oppressive aura...
The cruise driver felt that something was increasingly wrong.
Wasn't he brought to the island because he was set up by that perverted woman?
The further they walked, the more terrified the cruise driver became. He struggled with all his might, tried to scream, but ultimately couldn't make a sound.
"Mu Qi!"
Just as the cruise driver was on the verge of despair, Yun Shudian's voice suddenly rang out from behind them.
Mu Qi's tall frame stiffened, then he abruptly threw the person on his shoulder to the ground and retreated a considerable distance.
Yun Shudian didn't notice Mu Qi's small movement. Her face was a little pale as she looked at him, "Mu Qi, I can explain."
"Explain what?" Mu Qi strode quickly in front of Yun Shudian.
Mu Qi's tone was gentle, but Yun Shudian's complexion didn't improve. She felt as if she had done something wrong and couldn't face Mu Qi.
Yun Shudian took a step forward, pressing her small face against Mu Qi's chest, her arms wrapped tightly around his waist. "Mu Qi, listen to me."
Mu Qi held Yun Shudian's wrist and gently removed her hands from his waist.
A chill went through Yun Shudian's heart, and she then clasped Mu Qi's hands tightly.
Yun Shudian's lips moved, but she couldn't utter a word.
She had tied the person up here, only coming at night to deliver water and food. These were facts.
In her previous life, Yun Shudian would never have been this nervous. After all, in her previous life, she wouldn't have considered what Mu Qi would think of her.
If there was any major mistake in Yun Shudian's actions, it wasn't really.
But now, Mu Qi's position in Yun Shudian's heart was too high. In her mind, the person who could be worthy of Mu Qi should be as pure and flawless as an angel.
Now, it was as if her ugly side had been exposed to Mu Qi without any reservation. Yun Shudian's heart was in turmoil, and uncontrolled emotions killed her composure.
"Mu Qi."
Yun Shudian softly called Mu Qi's name, then quickly fell silent again.
"Mhm."
Mu Qi responded, then with his other hand, he placed it under Yun Shudian's hips and suddenly lifted her up.
Yun Shudian gasped. Before she could react, Mu Qi had already carried her to the table and was kissing her passionately.
"Mmm." Yun Shudian hadn't yet emerged from her nervous and dejected mood. Facing Mu Qi like this, she could only passively endure in a state of helplessness.
"Nian Nian, this is an uninhabited area. This person spoke ill of you. Don't worry, I'll throw him into the sea, and no one will ever know."
Mu Qi breathed heavily and leaned close to Yun Shudian's ear, his voice exceptionally gentle.
Mu Qi paused for a moment. Before Yun Shudian could fully comprehend his words, he continued, "If you don't like it, I'll have someone take him away."
Yun Shudian moved away from Mu Qi slightly, her face etched with suspicion. "How will you have someone take him away?"
In an instant, Yun Shudian shifted from a feeling of dejection and insecurity to an even deeper fear.
Mu Qi's breath hitched, his Adam's apple bobbed, and he averted his gaze from Yun Shudian. "I..."
"You're planning to escape, aren't you? When did it start? How do you plan to do it?"
Yun Shudian excitedly shook Mu Qi's shoulders, her voice choked with emotion, tears streaming down her face.
Mu Qi was momentarily flustered by Yun Shudian's intense reaction. Sudan Novel Network
At this moment, the cruise driver, who had been casually thrown to the ground by Mu Qi, gradually regained consciousness...
