"Wanwan!" The moment I fell into the sea, I heard several people calling my name.

I know I can't jump across such a distance, but this way I can free Ge Zeyu from Fu Xinyi's threat and also get closer to their ship.

If Ge Zeyu is fast enough, he can rescue me, and we won't be held hostage by Fu Xinyi anymore.

Because my hands and feet were bound, my body kept falling, as if it were a bottomless abyss. The feeling of suffocation gradually came over me, and I saw two figures swimming quickly toward me.

Let my consciousness completely disappear. When I regained consciousness, I looked at the sunlight above me and couldn't help but smile. But the moment I turned my head, the smile on my face froze.

Because the person sitting next to me at this moment was not Ge Zeyu but Fu Xinyi, after seeing the expression on my face, he asked knowingly, "Aren't you disappointed? Your childhood sweetheart wasn't fast enough, and in the end, I was the one who saved you!"

It would be a lie to say I wasn't disappointed, but I didn't want him to see it, so I just said to him sarcastically, "I never imagined my life was so important to you!"

Before I could finish speaking, Butler Zhao suddenly drew his knife and came over, grabbing my hair and holding the knife to my neck. "Young Master, this woman is a menace. As long as we keep her with us, that Ge fellow will keep biting us like a mad dog. The best way is to get rid of her here and send the body back. That way, Ge won't be in the mood to chase us anymore."

"No!" Fu Xinyi suddenly stood up, quickly walked towards me, grabbed the arm of the butler Zhao, and stared at him with a gloomy look, saying, "She's mine!"

The steward Zhao finally let go reluctantly. I noticed that the group of people were starting to harbor some resentment towards Fu Xinyi. And we were now in a mountain range.

For the next few days, I was still tied up. Even when it was time to eat, these people would not let go of me. Fu Xinyi would sit next to me and feed me.

From their conversations, I gradually learned about what happened that day. After I fell into the water, Fu Xinyi, Ge Zeyu, and the others all jumped in. Because of me, many people died on Fu Xinyi's side. Of the more than one hundred people he originally had with him, only seven or eight remained.

Fu Xinyi took advantage of the chaos to board the yacht, and then we arrived in this desolate mountain area where no one cares. They planned to cross this mountain range to the west and reach foreign territory.

Some of them are mercenaries, and some are foreign nationals. Ge Zeyu has a special identity. If he wants to save me, he must stop us before Fu Xinyi crosses the boundary marker. Otherwise, Ge Zeyu's identity will cause a lot of trouble.

Hearing them say that, I tried to stall for time several times, but they saw through my plan. These past few days, I've heard them say things like, "The people behind are catching up again."

I was chained up like a dog, with Fu Xinyi pulling on the other end of the rope. I had bruises of varying degrees on my cheeks and body. The men didn't slow down, and their expressions grew increasingly serious.

Finally, around noon, Butler Zhao looked relieved and told us that we would reach the boundary marker in another hour.

The moment Butler Zhao finished speaking, a gunshot rang out, and the group immediately went on alert. I saw Ge Zeyu and Xu Qing, and just as I was about to get up, Fu Xinyi grabbed my neck and held me down tightly.

Seeing Ge Zeyu and Xu Qing chasing after them, the group became increasingly nervous and panicked. They fought and retreated at the same time. The steward Zhao's gaze towards me became increasingly hostile, and more and more people around him fell down.

At this moment, he was hiding behind a big tree, with Fu Xinyi and me next to him. I was being held tightly by Fu Xinyi and couldn't move at all.

Butler Zhao suddenly raised his weapon and pointed it at me. "Young Master, I've said it before, this woman is a menace. Only her death can hold back the Ge family. You can't be soft-hearted this time!"

My blood seemed to freeze instantly. I knew that this mistake would mean certain death. Killing me would slow down Ge Zeyu and the others, making it easy for Fu Xinyi to leave.

Could it be that after all my efforts, I still can't escape my fate?

I took a deep breath, suppressing the fear and unease in my heart. As Ge Zeyu and Xu Qing's men drew closer, the murderous intent in Butler Zhao's eyes grew stronger.

With a loud bang, I instinctively closed my eyes, but felt no pain for a long time. When I opened my eyes in confusion, I saw the butler, surnamed Zhao, staring at Fu Xinyi in disbelief.

I turned my head and saw Fu Xinyi's gun pointed directly at the direction of the butler Zhao from before, so he killed his own man?

My mind was filled with confusion. Had Fu Xinyi gone mad? Killing even his own people?

"You..." I only managed to utter one word before Fu Xinyi had already wrapped his arms around my waist, resting his head on my shoulder, his warm breath on me. "I've said it before, you're mine, and no one but me can touch you."

My body was stiff, and I felt a mix of emotions I couldn't quite describe.

When the others saw that Steward Zhao was gone, the three or four people who had been struggling to hold on could no longer continue and turned to run away.

Ge Zeyu had already surrounded us with his men, but because I was being held in Fu Xinyi's arms and he still had a weapon in his hand, Ge Zeyu didn't dare to make any rash moves for the time being.

I could feel the weapon I had just used still carrying a trace of heat, pressed against my chest. When I looked up, I met Fu Xinyi's eyes, which were bloodshot and filled with resentment.

"Wanwan, I didn't think you were smart before, I just thought you were incredibly stupid. But later I realized I was wrong about you. If I had nurtured you earlier, maybe we would already be a couple."

His tone was light and casual, but it gave me goosebumps. I took a deep breath to suppress the irritation in my heart. "You're wrong. I was really stupid before. Otherwise, how could I have been so easily fooled by you and Bian Jiahui?"

We both know that what we call "the past" actually happened in a previous life.

Fu Xinyi's smile gradually faded, and she stared into my eyes as she asked, "You should like me, so why do you like Ge Zeyu, that good-for-nothing second-generation official? I've become outstanding and rich, so why do you still look down on me!"

He asked me persistently, again and again, until finally, he slowly said, "Now I'm asking you one last time, do you want to come with me or not?"
