After Zhou Xiran hung up the phone, she slid her finger across the screen and continued to make the next video call.

She leaned back comfortably in her chair and the video was quickly connected.

In the office, the bookish man sat at the desk, his eyes behind his glasses revealing a bit of concern.

"Have you been wronged?" he asked softly, with obvious worry in his tone.

Zhou Xiran shook her head and forced a smile.

"I'm safe now. As for the grievances..." She paused, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes, "I can only swallow them. How can there be no grievances that cannot be expressed?"

Hearing this, the man's eyes softened. He pushed his glasses and seemed to want to say something, but in the end he just sighed softly.

"How is mother?" Zhou Xiran looked to the other side of the screen, where her father was.

Zhou Xiran found that his father seemed to have aged a lot, the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes were deeper and his hair was much whiter.

"It's been checked out, everything is fine." The bookish man explained, "They are arranging to pick her up, don't worry."

Zhou Xiran looked at her father, seeming to want to say something but stopping herself.

She knew that her father must have known everything, including the fact that her mother had been betrayed by people close to her.

"Your mother was betrayed by the people around her." The father's voice was low, "They wanted to use your mother to deal with you. But, I'm glad you're okay."

A warm feeling surged in Zhou Xiran's heart, but at the same time she felt a pang of sadness.

"I will be more careful," she said affirmatively, "and won't let something like this happen again."

This matter is neither complicated nor simple.

The lady went out traveling, but was betrayed by people around her and was temporarily detained in a room. Then a group of people came and threatened her, asking her to provide some information and forcing her daughter to do certain things.

As for what happened to my daughter, I don’t know.

As for how outsiders knew they were on the ship, the leak was not from Zhang Fan's side, but from his daughter's side.

In other words, he learned about his daughter's whereabouts through his wife, and then figured out where his daughter was, and eventually came up with such a big conspiracy.

Those guys had already made plans, covering the land, sea and air. They formed a big net and tried to kill both of them first, but then the nuclear bomb went awry.

The bookish man pushed his glasses. This was not only directed at Akbang, but also at himself. If it weren't for that kid Akbang, he would have been finished.

Mr. Zhang's godson is indeed very powerful and was able to complete an epic reversal.

And they successfully returned to Phoenix, which made those people lose face.

Seeing his daughter's current appearance, he felt relieved. This must have been done by his opponent, who wanted to disrupt his Taoism and make him do something to bring him down.

But it was obvious that those people underestimated the strength of that kid Akbang. If they couldn't deal with him, they couldn't deal with themselves.

He is immortal and cannot shake himself.

Who could have imagined that a carefully prepared nuclear bomb could not be detonated?

This is something no one expected.

Zhou Xiran hung up the phone and found out what was going on.

Betrayed?

I'm glad my mother is okay. The opponent has revealed a lot of things. Of course, we are not sure whether he did it on purpose.

We had already determined who it was, but this could also be a conspiracy to make the people on our side kill each other.

They planned everything, but in the end they couldn't have anticipated how terrifying that man was.

He defeated two masters of the Holy See, Adam and Arthur both died in his hands, and a traitor was also killed. In the end, the nuclear bomb did not explode.

This was something they couldn't calculate. Zhou Xiran finally understood that no matter whether he was a magician, a tantric monk, or a sect, they couldn't calculate anything about that man!

In the words of the master, that is the person who is obscured by heaven and cannot be predicted by anyone.

So the group in the dark failed.

The night is like a painter, using deep blue as ink to quietly spread out its painting across the sky. Star-like lights begin to outline the city, adding a bit of liveliness to this quiet night.

Zhou Xiran slowly moved to the balcony, placed her hands lightly on the railing, and looked through the tranquility in front of her to the world that was both familiar and unfamiliar.

The south side of Phoenix City has been completely transformed after years of polishing and hundreds of billions of funds poured in by the Xia Kingdom, like a shining pearl inlaid on the coastline.

The sea view is sparkling, showing an unprecedented prosperity and harmony.

The powerful infrastructure capabilities of the Xia Kingdom are fully demonstrated here, turning this land into a new world full of exotic customs, which is breathtaking.

When Zhou Xiran's gaze tried to penetrate this bustling scene and look towards the north, the peace in his heart couldn't help but ripple.

There, completely different from the peace in front of us, the place was shrouded in the shadow of war, with soldiers fighting and the air filled with smoke.

It is a stark contrast that although this is a paradise, the other side of the world is experiencing a completely different fate.

Standing here, Zhou Xiran couldn't help but feel a lot of emotions.

I once thought that I was a trend-setter of the times and could leave a deep mark in the torrent of history.

But at this moment, facing this vast universe and complex and ever-changing world, I began to feel my own insignificance, as if I were just a tiny speck of dust in the long river of history.

The night was still dark, but a bright light lit up in Zhou Xiran's heart.

He used to be so arrogant that he thought he was the best in the world and that the four major groups were just a toy in his hands.

After going through so much, I realized how insignificant I am. The only thing I’m thankful for is that I wasn’t so stubborn anymore. I gave in, slowly giving in.

There is no one path that goes to the end, people always have to grow.

It was only after I encountered a strong obstacle that I slowly gave in.

You have to admit it, others are indeed better than you.

Hearing footsteps behind her, Zhou Xiran turned around suddenly. It was not because she was afraid that a stranger would come over, but because strangers could not enter here.

She looked at the person who came with an embarrassed expression.

"Can you please not appear behind me in the future? I'm scared."

Zhou Xiran looked at Zhang Fan with embarrassed blush.

Zhang Fan had just returned from dinner with Da Jun. This was the second-tier sea view. The first-tier sea view was allocated to Xia Hun mercenaries, with enough seats reserved. The second-tier commercial sea view rooms were at the back.

Many of the villas in front have not been occupied yet. They are all on the front line and we haven’t had time to enjoy them yet.

Zhang Fan was stunned for a moment, and seemed to understand what Zhou Xiran meant.

"I plan to go to the north. Everything has been arranged here. They seem to be targeting you, so be more careful."

Zhang Fan said.

Zhou Xiran nodded.

"Not coming." Seeing Zhang Fan walking forward, Zhou Xiran's face changed with fear.

Everyone knew what the two of them did on the cruise ship, and now I can't even stand steadily.
