Seeing that Gu Jinlan was distracted, William asked with concern: "Are you still sad in your heart?"

Gu Jinlan came back to her senses and asked, "Why should I be sad?"

William said: "Whether it's Master Shi or the friend you contacted, no one came to see you. Do you feel abandoned in your heart?"

Gu Jinlan was stunned.

I have to admit that William is very smart. He guessed that she contacted Si Mo and placed his hopes on Si Mo.

But precisely because William was too smart, he conceitedly thought he saw through everything.

Being overconfident may backfire.

She didn't feel abandoned.

She has enough trust in Shi Ye, Si Mo, Qing Li and others.

I was distracted just now only because I was worried that Si Mo and Qingli were in trouble.

William said: "It is their loss to lose a good girl like you who is so loyal and righteous."

Gu Jinlan smiled and said, "How do you know that I value friendship and loyalty?"

William lowered his eyes and looked at the necklace on Gu Jinlan's neck. "If you were not trustworthy enough, Ni An would not give you such an important necklace."

"Although you have been acting very well these days, I know that your heart is not here at all."

William looked around with a smile in his eyes. "You look around every day, looking for a way to leave, right?"

"You want to leave so badly, but you didn't even exchange Niane's whereabouts for my freedom. If you're not a good girl who values ​​friendship and loyalty, what is she?"

Gu Jinlan smiled perfunctorily, "Since Mr. William thinks so highly of me, I will accept this compliment."

In order to survive, she always had to be polite to William on the surface.

Now she is unable to move around easily, and if she really angers William, he can find ways to kill her.

Cutting off the antidote to the neurotoxin in her body or sending her back to the organization would make her life worse than death.

Haicheng.

Shanian came back from fishing, happily carrying a basket of catch back to her beachside villa.

"Nono, go take a shower and change your clothes first. Mom will make you something delicious later."

"Okay." Fan Yunnuo, sweating profusely, ran upstairs to the villa.

Xia Ni'an was carrying seafood to the kitchen, and suddenly she noticed a tall black figure sitting on the sofa in the living room. She was so scared that she shivered and the basket in her hand fell to the ground.

After taking a closer look and recognizing that the person sitting on the sofa was Shi Ye, Xia Nian breathed a sigh of relief and patted her chest with lingering fear.

"Master Shi, why are you here?"

Shi Ye stood up and walked towards Xia Nian, "I don't have your contact information, so I can only come to you directly. I'm sorry to scare you."

Xia Ni'an quickly smiled and said, "It's okay. I just scared myself."

This beachfront villa is under the name of Master Shi. Master Shi has the freedom to come and go in his own house. How can she have the nerve to blame him?

Shi Ye stopped and looked down to see a crab crawling onto his leather shoes.

He squatted down, picked up the crab and put it back into the basket, then went to pick up the conch next to it.

"Master Shi, let me do it. Don't dirty your clothes." Xia Nian quickly put all the spilled seafood back into the basket.

Shi Ye wiped his fingers with a handkerchief, watching Xia Ni'an's skillful movements, "It seems that you have already gotten used to your current life."

If it weren't for the necklace, he would find it hard to believe that Shanian would be the pampered princess of the Roland family.

Although she no longer deliberately darkens her skin and makes herself ugly like she did in the southwest, she already has a more down-to-earth air.

Shanian put the basket on the table with a happy look on her face, "Of course, with my son by my side, I will feel very happy and satisfied no matter what kind of life I lead."

Shi Ye nodded gently, "I'm sorry to bother you."

"Master Shi, don't be so polite. You and Lanlan are my mother and I's benefactors. If it weren't for Lanlan finding such a good place for us to live, we wouldn't even have a place to stay now."

Shi Ye's lips curled up into a smile, "You are so content with the status quo, don't you want Fan Lang to be punished? Are you planning to live here forever with your son?"

Xia Ni'an was stunned for a moment, and looked at Shi Ye with a puzzled look, "Master Shi, has something happened?"

When they were in the southwest region before, Master Shi didn't talk much to her.

Today, the Tenth Master came to see her alone and asked these questions suddenly, which gave her a strong sense of foreboding.

"Lanlan was detained by your brother." Shi Ye directly and simply explained Gu Jinlan's situation.

Xia Ni'an was shocked. "Master Shi, what did you say? My brother? He detained Lan Lan? How could it be? And I have several brothers. Who are you talking about?"

Shi Ye said: "It is absolutely true. Lan Lan had an accident in Country M. Because of the necklace you gave her, she was rescued by your brother, but your brother left her behind."

Shanian's expression suddenly became secretive, and she bit her lower lip lightly, "Are you talking about... William?"

Shi Ye nodded slightly, "You guessed it even though I didn't say his name. It seems like you know his style of doing things very well."

Xia Ni'an frowned tightly, "He does have a strong desire for control and possession. I'll call him right away and ask him to release Lan Lan."

After saying that, Xia Ni'an immediately took out her cell phone, but she heard Shi Ye say, "Are you sure that a phone call from your sister who ran away from home can make her change her mind?"

Xia Nian was stunned and looked up at Shi Ye's sharp eyes.

She really wasn't...sure.

From childhood to adulthood, she could not influence any of William's actions and decisions.

Shi Ye added: "He asked me to pick up Lan Lan alone."

"What?" Xia Ni'an was stunned. "So... he detained Lan Lan for you?"

"I still don't know what his purpose is." Shi Ye said, "I came to see you today just to ask you."

Xia Ni'an blinked blankly, "I don't know either..."

Shi Ye asked: "Does he have a grudge against the Shi family? Or, have I ever offended him in something?"

Shanian still looked confused. "I'm sorry, I... I really don't know anything... William's affairs are all secrets in our family. He is the son of my aunt Alice. In fact, no one in our family knows who his father is. We only know that he is an oriental man. When I was a child, I was the closest to William among all my brothers and sisters, but even I have never seen his father."

Shi Ye sighed softly, "Don't blame you. In fact, I expected it. You can't give me any clues here."

Considering Shanian’s current age, she was only eighteen or nineteen years old when she left home.

What can a little girl of eighteen or nineteen know?

He looked at Shanian deeply, "I came here today mainly to ask you to go with me, are you willing?"
