Chapter 334: Bringing Gifts for You

Seeing that Liu Kangbo had been thrown off the ship, the guests on board didn't care that the cruise ship had started moving again. They hastily put on their clothes and jumped up and down, yelling loudly. They hoped to tell the people on the destroyer behind them that they had thrown Liu Kangbo into the sea!

At just the right moment, Macedonia's voice came over the broadcast: "I'm very satisfied with everyone's cooperation. Now that everyone is safe, the missile launch system has stopped its countdown. The cruise ship will arrive at the port in a little over an hour. Have a pleasant journey, everyone."

This news immediately relieved everyone on the cruise ship. Whether they were guests, former bodyguards and staff of the Liu family, or servants, they all felt lucky to have saved their lives. As for Liu Kangbo, who had drifted far away on the lifeboat, they had long since forgotten about him!

Just roll as far away as you can, but don't get yourself involved again!

As the atmosphere on the cruise ship began to improve, the guests started cursing loudly at the Liu family father and son. Some discussed whom the Liu family had offended, and so on.

At that moment, a military armed helicopter suddenly took off from the destroyer behind them and quickly flew over the cruise ship. In just over a minute, it hovered over the ship.

Some guests on the cruise ship were afraid, fearing that the helicopter's two machine guns might start spitting bullets, and the cunning pirates might use guns instead of missiles.

"Quick, hide!" several people shouted loudly, and the guests finally reacted, rushing into the cabins in panic.

The deck of the cruise ship was in chaos. As the helicopter descended, its loudspeaker began to sound: "Miss Anxin and Mr. An Zaihuan, please come forward. The captain requests your presence."

The voice spread across the cruise ship, and the guests immediately focused their gaze on An Zaihuan and Anxin, father and daughter standing in the corner.

Anxin had anticipated this and was not surprised at all, while An Zaihuan was sweating profusely. Could it be because they had taken care of the Liu family's people and were now targeting the An family? Was it because the two families had almost formed an alliance, so they were considered together for retaliation?

An Zaihuan regretted deeply. What kind of trouble had he caused, going through so much trouble to marry off his daughter, only to encounter such a situation? He hurriedly shouted, "Don't look at us like that! We haven't become in-laws yet! We have nothing to do with the Liu family!"

But the guests paid no attention. They had just retracted the missiles. What if they launched them again if they defied them?

"You better leave when told! Hurry up!"

"Are you trying to get us killed?! Move quickly!"

The helicopter was now only about twenty meters above the cruise ship's deck. It lowered a sturdy rope ladder, obviously waiting for the An family father and daughter to board the helicopter.

An Zaihuan saw a group of people glaring at them and didn't know what to do.

Just as he was about to ask his daughter Anxin what to do, he saw that Anxin had already ignored him and was walking towards the rope ladder on her own.

"Anxin! Don't go! You'll die if you go!" An Zaihuan hurriedly grabbed Anxin's hand and said.

"My dear father, do you really think staying here will keep us safe? Besides, how do you know going there will mean death? Maybe the captain over there is someone we know, wanting to catch up with us?" Anxin looked at her biological father with a hint of sarcasm. In the past, she had only complained to him, but since being forcibly kidnapped to Sakura, then coerced into marrying Liu Yun, Anxin finally understood her position in her father's eyes.

A father who treated his daughter as a bargaining chip, never considering her feelings. Though she couldn't hate him to the point of cutting ties, it was clear he didn't deserve much respect from her anymore.

An Zaihuan's face alternated between pale and blue. Seeing the guests around them almost rushing to bind him onto the plane, he could only follow Anxin heavily step by step to climb the soft ladder.

Under the relieved eyes of the guests, Anxin and An Zaihuan boarded the helicopter one after another.

The helicopter did not linger much, flying directly back to the missile destroyer behind them.

Upon boarding the helicopter, An Zaihuan immediately felt an atmosphere different from what he had imagined. Whether it was the Caucasian soldier in camouflage who welcomed them on board or the military personnel piloting the aircraft, they all smiled warmly and seemed friendly.

Could it really be an acquaintance catching up? An Zaihuan had to think so, but he couldn't understand. He didn't know anyone who would be so audacious as to act as a pirate. Captain Macedonia? He didn't recognize anyone!

Anxin, however, was joyful. She knew Yang Chen's promised "spectacular wedding" would be special, but she hadn't expected such a domineering elopement, even involving nuclear warheads. It was all too exaggerated!

During the helicopter flight, the destroyer had stopped on the sea surface, far apart from the cruise ship, standing alone in the ocean.

When the helicopter landed on the deck of the warship, a group of people was already waiting.

An Zaihuan followed Anxin off the helicopter with an uneasy heart.

As soon as he got off the plane, An Zaihuan saw his restless daughter rush like a joyful little bird toward a man opposite, throwing herself into his arms. Her entire body wrapped around the man's neck, passionately kissing him in public!

An Zaihuan froze on the spot, forgetting everything around him, staring dumbfoundedly as his daughter openly kissed a man, his mind going blank.

Yang Chen was also caught off guard. He was about to say something when he saw Anxin, draped in a coat with her hair still in a bridal high bun, rushing toward him like a koala, her center of gravity hanging on him.

From the kiss, Yang Chen could feel Anxin's ecstatic and surging love. It was a rich mixture of gratitude and intoxication, something Yang Chen thoroughly enjoyed.

"Darling, let's save the kisses for later. We can't have any public displays on the deck," Yang Chen chuckled as he caressed Anxin's fair cheek.

Blushing, Anxin realized she had been too carried away. After getting off the plane and seeing Yang Chen, he seemed to be the only person in her world. Without much thought, she had rushed to kiss him.

It was only now that Anxin noticed there were several men and women standing behind Yang Chen, each with different appearances and attire. She shyly separated herself from Yang Chen and nodded politely at them.

Only now did An Zaihuan recognize who his daughter was embracing. The young man in the simple black jacket and light-colored suit pants, with a fairly ordinary appearance—wasn't he the one who had spent the night with Anxin at the hotel and was later taken to the police station? An Zaihuan's heart trembled. He had thought that young man was just an ordinary arrogant youth, but now it seemed completely different. Could today's events have been orchestrated by him? Who was he exactly?

Yang Chen, with one arm around Anxin's waist, turned to introduce the people beside him to Anxin, speaking in English since they were from various parts of the world. Anxin, being an international flight attendant, naturally understood several foreign languages.

"This redhead is called Soren. You can just call him Red," Yang Chen said.

Soren, with his impassive face, nodded sincerely at Anxin. For this steel-like man, even bowing his head slightly was a great sign of respect.

"And this bald chubby guy is Macedonia. This ship is his crew's 'borrowed' property, which we'll return later," Yang Chen continued, pointing to the grinning Macedonia.

Macedonia, puffing on a cigar, frowned slightly upon hearing this. He lowered the cigar and said, "Oh no, Yang, I think 'borrow' would be a better term. The Hatakaze is too small. We don't need to sneak it back. At the very least, our Mossad should be stealing cruisers. Destroyers are too cheap for us. We're just borrowing it temporarily, and the Self-Defense Force guys haven't said no."

"They haven't noticed," Soren added.

Ignoring them, Yang Chen pointed to a tall, handsome Caucasian man with blond hair and a peculiar coin-shaped earring.

"This is Edward. He's the type who always finds trouble for himself. Also, he's quite stingy. He flew over from England just to freeload here. You can totally ignore him," Yang Chen said.

Edward didn't mind at all and gentlemanly smiled, "Miss An, I have no gifts for our first meeting. I promise to bring you one next time."

"Hmph." Upon hearing Edward's words, Jane, who hadn't been introduced yet, gave him a disdainful look. "Edward, cousin, you've owed me a birthday gift for seven years already. If you're unwilling to give gifts, stop talking about giving them."

With that said, Jane ignored Edward's embarrassed expression and turned to Anxin with a smile. "Nice to meet you for the first time. You can call me Jane."

Anxin exchanged greetings with the four of them with smiles. Finally, she couldn't help but glance at Jane a few more times. This young Western woman dressed casually, but couldn't hide her noble and elegant temperament. Especially her beautiful sapphire-like blue eyes exuded wisdom, showing she was no ordinary person. Clearly, in Anxin's eyes, Jane was an envy-inducing seductive beauty. Anxin wondered what relationship Jane had with Yang Chen.
