"Well, get ready. We need to transfer the people before they go out to the high seas."
As Qiao Mingye was speaking, he turned around and saw Xia Wan'er coming out.
He waved his hand to let his subordinates go first, then stood up and took Xia Wan'er into his arms.
"Why did you come out?"
Remembering that she hadn't taken a shower yet, Xia Wan'er quickly pushed him away: "I want to use your room to take a shower."
Qiao Mingye saw through her little thoughts and helped her open the door while holding back his smile.
"I'm right outside, call me if you need anything."
"good."
Xia Wan'er nodded quickly and closed the door.
I just heard Qiao Mingye say that everyone must be evacuated before 11 o'clock, and there are less than three hours left.
In less than twenty minutes, after rubbing herself hard and changing into dry clothes, Xia Wan'er simply wiped her hair and came out.
Ran Qin and Nan Yu were eating in the living room.
Seeing Xia Wan'er coming out, Nan Yu waved her hand and said, "Sister Xia, come and eat."
"Where is your boss?" Xia Wan'er sat down at the dining table and looked around, but didn't see Qiao Mingye at all.
Ran Qin helped her fill a bowl of porridge, placed it in front of her and said, "Nanfeng said something about a change of plan, and it seems something happened again, so he was called away. Before he left, he asked us to tell you that you should just wait for him here."
After hearing this, Xia Wan'er no longer had the mood to eat.
But she couldn't help, she could only try not to cause them any trouble.
"Don't be afraid, Sister Xia, Ayu will protect you." Nanyu patted his chest.
"Okay, I'm not afraid."
Picking up the bowl, Xia Wan'er asked, "Ayu, how were you arrested?"
Nanyu opened his eyes wide, thought for a moment, and said angrily, "They are all liars. They lied to Ayu that Ran Qin was in trouble, and even stabbed Ayu with a needle. Ayu was so angry that he couldn't even eat."
"Don't be angry, Sister Xia will help you fight back."
"Sister Xia is so nice. The food smells good again. Come eat quickly, Sister Xia."
Looking at the big chicken leg that A Yu picked up for her, Xia Wan'er touched his head.
Turning his head, Ran Qin absentmindedly poked at the dumplings in the bowl.
"What's wrong?" Xia Wan'er also picked up a chicken leg for her.
Ran Qin came back to his senses and lowered his head guiltily: "I'm sorry, if it weren't for me, you wouldn't have been implicated by me."
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Xia Wan'er was angry and amused, "How do you know that they are bad people?"
"That being said, it's still my responsibility." Ran Qin pursed her lips.
Xia Wan'er put down the bowl and asked, "Speaking of you, there is something I'm curious about. How much older are you than Gu Qin?"
Ran Qin didn't expect her to ask this suddenly. She was stunned for a moment and said, "Two months."
"When the Gu family adopted you, Gu Qin was already quite old. Since they already had a daughter and loved her so much, why did they adopt you? Since they adopted you, why didn't they make it public and didn't let you say you were a member of the Gu family?"
"I don't know either, but it has been like this since I was a child. Maybe I'm not good enough and not worth telling others." Ran Qin pursed her lips.
Xia Wan'er frowned, feeling that it was unlikely.
It is unlikely that she was marrying for a replacement. After all, Gu Qin said she was Qiao Mingye's childhood sweetheart. If she had been engaged to Shangguan Rong, she should have said so when he first mentioned it.
The marriage should be arranged later.
If it's not for a replacement marriage, then what is it for
There was no answer available for the time being, so Xia Wan'er felt it necessary to wait until everyone returned to land and then ask Qiao Mingye to help investigate.
After finishing the meal, I packed up my things and sat and waited for a while. It was almost ten o'clock, but Qiao Mingye and Nanfeng still hadn't come back.
Xia Wan'er was getting restless, and just when she was about to give up, there was a knock on the door.
As soon as I opened it, I saw Nanfeng standing at the door with a large bloodstain on his clothes.
