Chapter 776
Fu Zhuo did as instructed and quickly dried himself off.
He looked in amazement at this high-tech dryer, thinking that it would be great to have one installed in his home. This way, he wouldn’t need to towel dry himself after showering, which would be incredibly convenient.
However, while Fu Zhuo was drying himself, his phone in his pocket got ruined and the screen went blank.
Meanwhile, Ye Junqing found out that the video call had been cut off.
“Have we figured out the exact location yet?” Ye Junqing asked desperately.
The navy commander nodded, “Yes, Lord Qing, we have the location.”
Ye Junqing’s expression softened, “Get there immediately!”
On the other side, after Fu Zhuo had dried off, Ye Xingguang led him to the upscale lounge on the upper level.
Once they reached the lounge, Ye Xingguang handed Fu Zhuo a cup of hot tea.
“Thank you.”
After drinking the whole cup of tea, Fu Zhuo, having survived the disaster, began to curse loudly!
As it turned out, Fu Zhuo had wanted to atone for his mistake and gain forgiveness from the big villain. He accidentally found out about a cure for his blood-drinking condition and took a dozen bodyguards to find it.noveldrama
Who would have known, they would encounter pirates robbing a cruise ship on the way? Fu Zhuo’s sense of justice immediately surged. He tried to sneak aboard the ship to save people. but he was severely underpowered. The pirates caught him and his men in one swoop.
Listening to this story, even Ye Xingguang found it embarrassing. How humiliating!
While telling his story, even Fu Zhuo felt ashamed and greatly frustrated, “If Xiao Yun were here, it wouldn’t be this bad!”
Isn’t it obvious? Fu Zhuo is a scholar, while Xiao Yun is a martial artist. Of course, Xiao Yun is a hundred times stronger than Fu Zhuo.
“Who were the people who fell into the water with you? The bodyguards who followed you?”
Fu Zhuo expressed his worry, “Several of the bodyguards can’t swim. I need to check on them. I brought them along with me. If anything happened to them, how could I face their parents?”
At this moment, a guard entered with an update, “Young Master Gui, we’ve rescued all of them. No one is dead, and those who were unconscious from inhaling water have already been treated.”
Gui Baili simply nodded in response.
Fu Zhuo heard the report and breathed a sigh of relief. It was only then that he seemed to notice a very handsome and cold man standing behind Ye Xingguang and reflexively asked, “Little Starlight, who is he?”
Ye Xingguang introduced him, “My loyal servant, his name is Gui Baili.”
After that, she added another sentence cheekily, “He’s not what you’re thinking.”
Fu Zhuo didn’t dare to meet Ye Xingguang’s eyes and wished he could slap himself. He wasn’t as tactful as he thought!
He resolved to pretend to be blind even if he saw Little Starlight with ten or eight men in the future. Otherwise, he couldn’t resist reminding Little Starlight to keep her distance from other men. His well-intentioned advice might cause more harm again.
Fu Zhuo risked his life searching for a cure because he meant well. Ye Xingguang was a very protective person and wouldn’t sit back and do nothing when Fu Zhuo had been thrown into the sea and almost drowned.
She immediately asked Gui Baili arrogantly, “These are my people. They’ve been badly beaten. I want revenge for them at sea. Do you have enough men to take?”
Gui Baili gave a small laugh, seemingly finding her question naive. His brilliant black eyes flashed with a chilling murderous intent, “Your highness, with me here, you can do whatever you want, however you want.”
