Hong Kong is in full swing

Huo Chuyan flicked the ash off his cigarette and said, "Your punishment isn't over yet."

Yu Wan's thoughts were slow. "What punishment?"

Huo Chuyan teased her lips, "You should know it yourself, right?"

Yu Wan stared at him blankly for a moment, then loosened her arms around his waist.

The water ripples gently.

There was a knock on the door.

Wei Size asked outside the door, "Mr. Huo, Miss Yu, do you need help now?"

Yu Wan suppressed a hum and buried her head in his chest.

The body temperature of the person in his arms was scorching. Huo Chuyan pressed her back against the wall and said, "Who knows?"

There was silence outside the door for two seconds, and then he spoke again: "Then, please ask Mr. Huo to tell Miss Yu that no matter what you need, you can contact me directly. I will handle it. I will also give her an explanation for what happened today."

"What statement?"

There was silence at the door for a moment, and then a few words were thrown out.

"It's all up to Miss Yu."

Huo Chuyan looked down at the weak and boneless person in his arms.

"How do you want to decide?"

Wei Size waited outside the door for a while, but received no response. He paused, then turned and left.

The captain asked hesitantly, "Do you really want to tie up Master Duan?"

Wei Size slowly took out a cigarette and lit it, "What else?"

"But the Duan family..."

Wei Size glanced at him sideways, "What's the Duan family? What's Duan Yu?"

Smoke lingered in front of his sarcastic eyes. "Whoever sits in that position is Young Master Duan. Sometimes, even a son has to give way. Do you understand?"

The captain was so frightened by these words that his scalp went numb. "Master, are you really going to do this for a woman..."

Wei Size's eyes swept across the surveillance camera specially installed at the top of the corridor, and he chuckled lightly.

"I'm not doing this for her. Hold your hand out."

His words were gentle, but the way he tapped the cigarette butt against someone's palm revealed a certain harshness.

The pain from the local skin tear made the captain sweat profusely, but he didn't dare to cry out in pain.

"It's not a good habit to cling to the powerful."

"Remember, this is my territory."

Wei Size patted his face gently and said, "Don't do it again."

"Yes Yes."

It was already night when Yu Wan woke up.

The spacious room was silent. She propped herself up, her eyes scanning the unfamiliar layout as her consciousness gradually returned.

She and Huo Chuyan...

Her slender fingers clenched the sheets, and her mind began to buzz.

I heard the sound of someone turning the door lock, and my body pulled up the quilt and lay back down faster than my consciousness.

She regretted it the moment she lay down.

This is the perfect time to explain things to Huo Chuyan. What is she hiding from?

But what could she explain to Huo Chuyan?

Does it explain why she did this to him? Was it because she fell into Qiao Wang's trap?

Or promise that she would take responsibility for it?

Will he take responsibility for himself?

She had no idea what he was thinking.

My thoughts were as tangled as paste, and my heartbeat became more and more violent as the footsteps approached.

do not care.

Since she did that to him, she should take the responsibility and never shirk it.

She gritted her teeth and lifted the quilt, "Huo..."

The words were on the tip of his tongue, but he swallowed them back when he saw the face of a strange woman.

Judging from his attire, he should be a waiter on the ship.

The other party was startled by her movement.

"Miss Yu, Young Master Wei asked me to come and see how you are doing. Do you need a cup of sobering soup?"

Hangover soup?

Did Wei Size think she was drunk?

Then does Huo Chuyan and her...Wei Size know?

There are many doubts in my heart.

Yu Wan said tentatively, "I'm fine. Thank you, Master Wei, for your concern. By the way, besides the hangover soup, does Master Wei have any other instructions?"

"Young Master Wei said he didn't know how much you could drink, so he wasn't prepared enough and scared you. He said he would apologize to you after you woke up. He also said Young Master Duan had already left by boat and wouldn't bother you again."

Hearing this, Yu Wan concluded that Wei Size didn't know that she had been drugged, or he knew but didn't reveal it.

She planned to find another opportunity to investigate this later.

But what about Duan Yu rowing?

"If I'm not mistaken, the nearest island is at least a thousand kilometers away. Are you sure Young Master Duan rowed back alone?" Yu Wan asked.

"Yes." The waitress replied with a smile: "Master Wei said he wanted to experience the sport of ocean currents, so he left in a kayak."

Yu Wan was completely stunned.

A journey of a thousand kilometers would take seven or eight hours even if one drove without sleep. Duan Yu actually rowed back?

Yu Wan looked at the impeccable expression on the waitress's face and slowly lowered her eyes.

Hong Kong Island was experiencing a typhoon, and it was impossible for Duan Yu to go home in such weather.

The most logical explanation, then, is...

He was thrown from the boat.

The person on the entire ship who is capable and most likely to do such a thing,

only one.

That is Huo Chuyan.

In the quiet room, the sound of the heartbeat was unusually clear.

A bunch of questions before my eyes seemed to converge into one question:

why?

Why did Huo Chuyan do this?

She wouldn't be so naive as to think it was for herself.

Although she had spent two nights with him, she knew in her heart that it was just a short-lived dream.

Not really.

She wasn't important enough for Huo Chuyan to personally teach Duan Yu a lesson.

After much thought, there is only one most reasonable answer - that is conflict of interest.

As the leader of the entire port city's shipping industry, the Wei family has cooperated with its rival, the Duan family, but the competition for interests behind the scenes is even more intense.

Hong Kong Financial News once reported that the Wei and Duan families had been fighting each other to the death in order to seize the mainland market, and they had deep resentment in private.

Unfortunately, the strength of both families should not be underestimated, and it was difficult to determine the winner in the ongoing tug-of-war. It was not until Wei Size, the eldest daughter of the Wei family, married into a wealthy family that the onlookers began to get restless and turned to the Wei family.

From then on, the two families drew a clear line between them, the Wei family entered the upper class, and the Duan family retreated to the second line.

But business competition is not a one-time thing.

The Duan family was once a leader in the shipping industry. Naturally, they are unwilling to see their decline to this point, and their secret moves have never stopped.

If Yu Wan remembered correctly, the recent Hong Kong financial report mentioned that the Duan and Wei families were once again competing for the same project, and this time, the Duan family seemed to have the advantage.

Therefore, Duan Yu's lesson by Huo Chuyan this time was probably just an example to be used as an example.

As a "gift" to celebrate the birthday of the Wei family boss.

Thinking of this, Yu Wan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

It is meaningless self-consolation to imagine that Huo Chuyan is doing this for oneself. Huo Chuyan is like the moon hanging in the sky.

Even if she is lucky enough to touch it, it does not mean that the moon belongs to her.

All she can do is keep working hard to chase the bright moon.

He hoped that one day, fate would allow her to be closer to him.
