k, feigning innocence to explain how her lipstick ended up in her pocket. That way, she'd appear magnanimous and blameless.If an ordinary person, unable to discern the truth, were to be misled by her,...Luo Ningxi didn't deny it either, and the two of them just remained at an impasse.

After waiting for what felt like an eternity, Luo Ningxi finally got the last concession from Li Bohen.

“I will have the agreement prepared, come back tomorrow.”

After he finished speaking, he got up, his face cold as he adjusted the cuff of his sleeve. He took a beer from the fridge and left the restaurant without looking back.

Luo Ningxi originally wanted to call him back, but the man's departure was so resolute that she could only lower her head and look at the finished egg custard, letting out a soft sigh.

She certainly couldn't wait seven months. Saying that was just to let Li Bochen relax his guard...

However, she didn't expect him to suddenly agree.

……

At the same time, Yu Lan took the address given to her by Yu Chengnan and specifically asked someone to investigate that coordinate.

The results really found that island, and the private investigator also sent photos.

Though the photo is far away and a little blurry, it's still possible to recognize that the person on the island is indeed Li Bochen!

If that's the case, then it definitely won't be wrong!

Kidnapping someone to a deserted island is no small feat. As long as she follows Yu Chengnan's instructions and makes a big deal out of this, even if Li Bochen has his grandfather protecting him, he will be unable to escape unscathed.

Thinking of this, Yu Ran immediately called her subordinates.

"Get me a fleet of ships, planes and news media ready to go with us to the island and find Li Bochen."

She paused, her calculating eyes flashing a hint of coldness. She lowered her voice and warned, "Remember, never startle the snake, nor rouse the old man!"

……

On the island.

After leaving the villa, Li Bochen took a beer to the beach.

Nan Hanchuan sat on the beach chair, his head bowed as he fiddled with his phone. His handsome and alluring features carried a strange heaviness, "I've even switched to a dedicated SIM card, how is the signal still so bad"

Li Boheng walked to his side and didn't speak. He opened a can of beer and finished it in one gulp.

Nán Hánchuan's wicked eyes swept over him, deliberately picking up his phone and waving it. "Old Lì, don't rush to drink your wine. Your rival is about to arrive."

"When did I have a rival in love" Li Bichen took another sip of wine, asking calmly.

Nan Hanchuan stretched out his long finger to his nostrils, cleared his throat and read aloud the message he had just received on his phone.

"Just got word, apparently Yu Chengnan's aunt, Yu Lan, has been secretly contacting a bunch of journalists, and even arranged for planes. Do you think they might be coming to take you down"

Li Bochen raised an eyebrow, his tone laced with arrogance and disdain. "Do they even have the ability to challenge me"

Nan Hanchuan saw his nonchalant attitude and suddenly became interested. "But you've almost bankrupted the Yu Group. Yu Chennan and Yu Ran's family hate you so much they want to kill you. Even a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, I'm afraid it won't be that easy to deal with, right"

So what

Li Bochen's eyes turned colder. "I knew the coordinates of the island would be leaked. As long as they dare to come, I'll let them know the consequences of offending me!"

"Still you, Old Li, ruthless as ever!"

Nan Hanchuan laughed evilly as he raised his beer can to toast with Li Bochen, "But this matter really can't be let Xiao Xixi know, otherwise the two of you will never be able to reconcile..."

"If you speak a little louder, she'll hear you."

Li Bochen retorted impatiently, Nan Hanchuan smiled and closed his mouth, but he didn't notice Su Qiao's shocked expression hidden behind the rocks not far away.

The original plan was for Luo Ningxi to go first and stabilize Li Bochen, while she would get close to Nan Hanchuan to find out when he would return to the imperial capital.

But when she arrived at the beach, Shan Hanchuan was on the phone looking for a signal, not giving her a chance to get near him. Just when she finally waited for him to sit down and was about to approach him, Li Botong walked out of the villa.

Su Qiao could only hold her breath and concentrate, thinking about hiding behind the rocks for a while, but she never expected to hear such news!

The Yu family is really coming!

Her heart pounded with both urgency and excitement; she just wanted to tell Luoningxi this news immediately!

Su Qiao crouched behind the rocks for a while, trying her best to tread lightly, wanting to sneak back into the villa from behind.

Even though she was as careful as could be, the sand beneath her feet still made a slight sound.

Nan Hanchuan immediately sensed something was wrong. He exchanged a glance with Li Bichen, wanting to get up and check it out, but he was held back.

Li Bochen's aura turned colder, a few degrees more frigid. There were some things Luo Ningxi would know sooner or later.

It's also a good opportunity to let her see the true face of Yu Chengnan!

……

In the room, Luoningxi was still pondering over the terms of the agreement when Su Qiao rushed in.

She immediately picked up her water glass and rushed forward, eagerly asking, “What have you found out When is Nan Hanchuan planning to leave the island”

Su Qiao pushed the water cup away, grabbed her hand tightly, and her pretty doll-like face was full of anxiety. "Baby, something big has happened. I heard Li Bochen and Nan Hanchuan talking on the beach, they seemed to be saying that Yu Chengnan is coming to save you!"

Lu Ningxi's eyes lit up instantly, the long-lost hope finally bringing back a few sparks to her gaze. "He found us here Isn't that a good thing"

"No, no, that's not right!" Su Qiao panted, "I heard Li Bochen say he knew the island's coordinates had been leaked a long time ago, and he even said something about what would happen to those who offended him! Do you think Yu Chengnan will be in danger!"

"What!" Luo Ningxi's face changed instantly, the cup in her hand also fell to the ground with a loud crash!

Now Li Bochen can do anything. If Yu Chennan came over rashly, wouldn't he just fall into his trap

Luo Ningxi's heart surged with an overwhelming fear. She absolutely refused to let Yu Chenan once again venture into danger because of her!eceiving payment."Wait until you're so poor you can't even afford to eat before I transfer money to you."Li Bochen gave him a cold glance, his long fingers pinching the glass, the ice inside clinking...
