Capítulo 2631: Chapter 2567: Exceptionally Quiet

If he had knowledge of this, he would surely be overjoyed as well, wouldn't he?

Observing Chiang Xiao's evident happiness, Ding Haijing's lips moved, yet he refrained from speaking.

Could this young lady genuinely be in such a buoyant state of mind?

Matters were not as straightforward and pleasant as she seemed to imagine.

Nevertheless, witnessing her current cheerful disposition, he found himself unable to spoil her mood. Furthermore, her belief was not entirely unfounded; individuals like Hu Xiangyong were indeed under surveillance by a special forces team.

As long as Chiang Xiao herself remained unremarkable, no issues should arise.

It was perfectly fine, provided she was not the type of person to attract undue attention.

That very evening, a celebratory dinner was indeed on their agenda.

Chiang Xiao, concerned that a young woman associating with three young men might appear too conspicuous, extended an invitation to Wang Yi and Chen Yin.

She also resolved against traveling to D State, despite knowing that Jiang Liu should be with Lu Shuangshuang at that particular time. However, with Sun Han and his companions in close proximity to Jiang Liu, and given that it was broad daylight, the beach, being a tourist destination, was expected to be teeming with people.

With such a multitude present, what possible actions could Lu Shuangshuang undertake?

Yet, both Chiang Xiao and Jiang Liu had underestimated the sheer audacity of Lu Shuangshuang and the Lu Family.

Originally, this locale was indeed a popular tourist spot within D State. Typically, fishing boats would frequently pass through, and some individuals would charter vessels for leisure excursions in the vicinity.

However, on this particular day, as Jiang Shiheng steered their boat, accompanied by Sun Han and the others, towards this stretch of coastline, he perceived an unsettling anomaly.

"Sixth Young Master, why are there no fishing boats in sight? Is it typically this tranquil here?"

Sun Han scanned the surroundings, a sense of unease growing within him.

The Sixth Young Master had mentioned the previous night that this was a tourist area.

Why, then, was there no one visible at present?

Jiang Shiheng's brow furrowed.

During his previous visits, there had always been a considerable number of people around.

Another bodyguard, equally perplexed, chimed in, "It's not usually this quiet; this place typically bustles with activity."

Therefore, the current stillness was indeed highly unusual, was it not?

Sun Han's vigilance immediately heightened.

"Everyone remain alert, and do not stray from Sixth Young Master's side."

A bodyguard voiced his concern, "Sixth Young Master, perhaps we should return?"

The moment these words were uttered, the boat lurched violently, as if it had struck a submerged reef, producing a harsh grinding sound.

The vessel then shuddered once more.

"Be careful, Sixth Young Master!" Sun Han exclaimed, steadying Jiang Shiheng as he lost his footing.

"The boat has struck a reef, and the hull is compromised," a bodyguard stated, his expression shifting as he pointed to a section of the deck.

Having grown up in D State, they were, in essence, children of the sea and proficient swimmers. Moreover, the boat was already quite close to the shore, rendering a leaking vessel not an immediate critical danger.

However, their ability to return to the opposite shore was now completely nullified.

The boat might hold together long enough to reach the land, but it certainly would not survive the journey back, regardless of any efforts.

Thus, their only viable option was to press forward, with no possibility of retreat.

Sun Han knitted his brows.

Such a remarkable coincidence?

Was this an unfortunate accident, or was it a deliberate act?

There was no time to delve into the specifics of the situation presently; their sole course of action was to make haste towards the beach.

Gazing towards the shore, not a single soul was to be seen. The gentle sea breeze whispered across the pristine, fine sand of the utterly deserted beach.

Ascending from the beach, a small island came into view. From the boat, a diminutive stone pavilion was discernible.

Beyond the stone pavilion, a portion of a building peeked out from amidst the foliage.

A bodyguard remarked, "Sixth Young Master, do you recall the small temple situated there? It's also considered a tourist attraction by sea. Within the temple premises are a few guest rooms; occasionally, travelers unable to secure passage back choose to stay at the temple."

Jiang Shiheng's eyes gleamed.

At that precise moment, dark clouds rapidly coalesced overhead, swiftly eclipsing the sun. The sky plunged into sudden darkness, and the storm at sea began to intensify, growing more tempestuous.
