She sat up with her swollen forehead supported, and looked around at the unfamiliar environment with her eyes that had not yet regained clarity.

Seeing that she woke up, Bai Ya quickly let go of the hand that was pulling the man's collar, walked over quickly, holding a small flashlight, and pulled up her eyelids to see the reaction of her pupils.

After confirming that everything was OK, he felt relieved, put the flashlight back into his pocket, and asked.

"Do you feel any discomfort?"

Qi Yan was dazzled and blinked hard a few times before shaking his head, pinching his eyebrows and lying back down.

"What is this?"

There was no emotion in her voice, just the hoarseness of having just woken up.

At this point, Bai Ya's temper, which had just calmed down, flared up again. She glanced at Zuo Yu who was adjusting his collar, and her meaning was obvious.

you say.

Zuo Yu received the signal, pulled his torn coat up to his head, and looked outside with a wry smile.

"Where else could it be..."

As he said this he pulled up the window.

The wet and salty sea breeze, the sound of waves crashing, and the shrill and loud cries of a few seagulls are heard in my face.

"Where do you think this is?"

Zuo Yu stood in front of the window, letting the salty wind and the sound of the waves blow in, and asked back.

Qi Yan ignored him, stared at the ceiling of the cabin, closed his eyes, and sighed imperceptibly.

Bai Ya next to him rolled her eyes at him and added.

"Shen Rao used drugs on you. Logically, the drugs shouldn't work on you, but you've been too tired and nervous lately."

"But he still has a conscience. The medicine has no side effects. He just feels dizzy for a while."

"Yesterday he sent people to surround the top floor. To be on the safe side, we did not resist. Now his people are in control of the ship. We don't know where they are going, but judging from the direction of the route, it should be Country B."

Country B is on the other side of the ocean.

If you really want to go there, it will probably take about a month to sail on the sea.

By the time we reach the shore, it will be too late.

Qi Yan opened her eyes and suddenly remembered the ward last night. There was a strange medicinal fragrance, but because she was in the hospital and Shen Rao was sticking to her, her thoughts were interrupted.

I don't take it to heart.

She laughed angrily.

She never thought that the most harmless puppy could do this to her.

Qi Yan stood up, put his hands on his bent knees, and looked up lazily.

"How long have you been off the high seas?"

"Ten hours."

Bai Ya looked at the watch on her wrist, then turned to look at her.

"Are we going to go back? If we go back now, the earliest we can do so is tomorrow afternoon."

Although she thought Shen Rao was fooling around, she would be happy if Qi Yan could give up this task.

After all, the risk is so high.

Everything was apparently about to end, but suddenly a mission to protect Young Master Shen popped up. Bai Ya must have been very unhappy.

Qi Yan’s vacation is over, and so are they!

Thinking so, she said so.

"Why don't we just give up this mission and go to Country B to have fun."

Who cares about the life or death of that second-generation rich kid?

He was the one who pushed Qi Yan away, so he couldn't blame others.

Qi Yan put his hand on his chin and looked at her, his lips slightly parted and his voice clear.

"Okay."

"real?!"

Bai Ya’s eyes widened. She didn’t expect Qi Yan to actually agree.

There was a subtle arc at the corner of Qi Yan's mouth, and his tone was neither salty nor bland.

"Give up the mission voluntarily and let the Elders Council remove me from my position."

"..."

"forget it."

Bai Ya shut up and started picking at the buttons on her white coat.

Forgot, there are also those old guys.

Qi Yan stretched out his slender legs from the bed, stood in place, stretched his stiff body, and rubbed his wrist slowly.

"You need to go back soon," she paused, her indifferent voice tinged with anger, "You disobedient child need to be taught a lesson."

Bai Ya and Zuo Yu's eyes met, and they both saw two words in each other's eyes.

'Ugh.'

Qi Yan was angry.

It's not just ordinary anger.

This understanding was confirmed when she knocked down the strong man who was trying to stop her with one punch.

Bai Ya carefully stepped through the crowd of fainted people, while Zuo Yu strolled around leisurely with his hands in his pockets.

Qi Yan, who had a cold face in front, was like a human killing weapon, not giving the other party any chance to pass on the message.

Not long after.

They were the only three people still standing on the boat.

Perhaps because they knew Qi Yan's strength, there were many people on the boat, but it was all useless.

Qi Yan squatted beside one of the men in black, looking at him with fear.

Pulling the corner of his shirt, he slowly wiped the dirt off his hands.

Only after wiping it all clean did he stand up, his eyes cold and calm.

"Don't worry, I'll pay for the medical expenses, compensation, and dry cleaning."

The man in black couldn't control the shaking, as if he was shouting in fear, as if he had seen a monster.

Qi Yan was no stranger to this kind of look, and she walked away without even glancing at him.

As she walked, she lowered her head and lit a cigarette that she had picked up from somewhere.

He glanced at the endless blue sea and slowly exhaled the lingering smoke.

He just took a glance and then turned back indifferently.

The leather boots stepped on the wet deck, the steps were steady and casual, and the friction sound came from near and far.

Until it disappears completely.

The empty cab.

Bai Ya was studying the instruction manual while Zuo Yu was counting the looted communication equipment beside her and raised his eyebrows.

"Can you drive it?"

"Of course not, it's just that it hasn't been sailed for a long time, and this ship is different from the previous ones!"

Bai Ya closed the instruction manual and almost understood it. She raised her hand to turn the steering wheel and head back, not forgetting to instruct Zuo Yu who was idle to show her the route map.

……

Imperial capital, yesterday.

It was dark in the early morning, and there was no sign of dawn yet, but Gu Yan was woken up.

He stayed in the psychological clinic at night and did not go home because he was busy looking up new medical research data on narcolepsy.

At this moment.

He got up from the lounge and opened the door with half-opened eyes.

Shen Rao, wearing only a thin hospital gown and a coat, with a pale face and no expression, appeared in front of him.

At this time, the snow was falling heaviest, and his body was inevitably covered with some white.

It just melted slowly and stained my coat, soaking it all over.

Gu Yan felt dizzy for a moment and took off his glasses to wipe them.

Seeing that it was Shen Rao, he quickly stepped aside to welcome him in, picked up the kettle, and made him a cup of hot tea to warm him up.

"Aren't you in the hospital? Why are you here so late? Can't sleep again?"

Recently, Shen Rao's insomnia has improved, and his manic condition has been well controlled, and he rarely comes here.

This early morning visit.

Gu Yan couldn't help but worry that something had happened again.

Shen Rao held the cup of hot tea, feeling the warmth coming through the cup, but no matter how warm it was, it couldn't dispel the coldness that was constantly corroding from within.

He lowered his eyes, his gaze was deep and calm, his cold facial features were quiet, and he looked lifeless.

Like a beautiful doll that had lost its soul, it was wooden and motionless, staring at the snow outside the window with unfocused eyes.

Shen Rao in this state.

Gu Yan had seen it before, but felt that it was a little different.

He sat opposite and waited patiently.

Ten minutes later.

Shen Rao turned his eyes away, and his pupils regained focus.

He took a sip of hot tea, and the warmth slid down his esophagus into his chest, but he felt no comfort at all.

The tone is deep and no ups and downs can be heard.

"Remember the hypnosis fifteen years ago?"
