The strips of cloth in their mouths were already soaked with saliva, looking somewhat disgusting.
The waiter hesitated for a moment, then chose to first untie the sheet from the man’s body before gently waking him up.
“Sir, it’s already morning. Would you like to go back to your room and rest for a while?”
“Hmm?” Ah Chen opened his eyes dazedly, feeling a splitting headache and unable to muster any strength in his body.
The waiter sighed and went to wake up Xiao Yuan with the same gentle tone. “Miss, do you need me to help you back to your room to rest?”
Xiao Yuan’s eyelashes trembled slightly as she opened her eyes. She was facing the window, and the glaring sunlight made her instinctively squint. “Where am I?”
“Do you not remember what happened last night?” the waiter asked strangely.
The ropes on Xiao Yuan’s hands and feet had been untied by now. She raised her wrist and saw the red marks left by the bindings. Memories of last night quickly flooded back, and her eyes, filled with confusion, instantly turned full of hatred. “Where are they?”
The waiter paused. “Are you referring to the other two people who came to the island with you? They’ve already left.”
“Left?” Ah Chen stood up fiercely, but the next moment, he sat back down on the chair due to weakness in his limbs, feeling embarrassed. “Damn it, next time I see them, I’ll kill them for sure!”
“Do you need us to call the police? What happened to you two last night? How did you end up tied up here?” The waiter was concerned about their condition, helping them to the sofa. When he saw Xiao Yuan’s exposed body, his face couldn’t help but blush.
Ah Chen took the iced tea brought by the waiter and drank it in one gulp. Only then did his burning throat feel a bit relieved, and he continued to ask, “When did they leave?”
The waiter politely replied, “Just now.”
“They can’t have gone far.” Ah Chen quickly signaled to Xiao Yuan beside him and said, “Let’s follow them. Those two didn’t come out to play on the island at all last night. Now they’re leaving so hastily, it’s definitely not just for a simple vacation. They must have some other purpose. But no matter what they want to do, since they dared to treat us like this, don’t blame us for ruining their plans!”
Xiao Yuan nodded vigorously in agreement. “This grudge must be avenged. I’ve never failed to conquer a man!”
The waiter, upon hearing this, smiled awkwardly and said, “Do you still need us to call the police?”
“No need.” Ah Chen straightened his clothes, staring expressionlessly at the waiter. “Remember, you didn’t see anything just now. Otherwise, I’ll take your life! Understand?”
“The third rule of the island staff code is to unconditionally protect the privacy of guests. You can rest assured of this.” The waiter maintained a polite smile on his face.
Ah Chen was satisfied. “Alright, it’s none of your business here. Go prepare the boat to leave the island. We’ll leave immediately.”
The waiter quickly said, “Alright, please follow me to the island’s exit.”
Outside, the sun was shining brightly, and the waves were gently lapping against the boat, causing it to sway from side to side, but it was quite pleasant.
Mei Shu squinted her eyes, enjoying this rare tranquility.
But Jiang Hai looked guilty, blushing so much he wished he could bury his head in the ground and never show his face again.
Mei Shu chuckled and patted his shoulder.
Jiang Hai, immersed in his own world, was startled by her sudden movement.
Mei Shu withdrew her hand helplessly. “You don’t have to do this. Nothing really happened last night, right?”
“It’s all because of my carelessness. I actually let those two guys in and almost let them succeed!” Jiang Hai’s face turned even redder at this point, perhaps because he remembered the embarrassment of being caught by Mei Shu last night, and he lowered his head in shame.
Mei Shu sighed and gently persuaded, “Everyone makes mistakes. Honestly, I also paid attention to the outside movements last night. I really didn’t hear any footsteps, and besides, even if I did, it wouldn’t have been of any use. The result is good enough. Those two guys probably got screwed up last night, anyway!”
Thinking of those two people, red-faced and eager but unable to touch each other, she couldn’t help but laugh.
To deal with scoundrels, you have to fight fire with fire!
This time, let them taste the bitterness of being drugged!
Jiang Hai still couldn’t get over his self-blame. With a “plop,” he knelt down in front of Mei Shu. “Miss Mei, you should punish me. Otherwise, I’m afraid I’ll live in guilt for the rest of my life.”
Mei Shu quickly helped him up. “Why should I punish you? You’ve been diligent and responsible. I’m grateful to you!”
“But I…”
Mei Shu interrupted him. “Don’t tell me that taking care of me and protecting me is your duty. Even if I were your boss, your own safety should be more important than anything else.. You need to prioritize yourself, understand?”
