No one knew that he had bought this island. He originally planned to give it to Xia Tang after making some changes to it, but he had not gotten it done in time.

Tangtang had been implicated by him and they had gotten into a car accident together.

At that time, someone had tampered with their car.

After arriving in Harbor City, he attended Old Master Huo’s birthday celebration. When he saw his old family, they still looked familiar. When Old Master Huo mentioned Huo Ze, they all looked sad.

Within a short period of time, he was unable to tell who was so vicious and wanted to kill him.

The saddest were his parents.

. 

The two of them looked much older than before. His mother had a lot of white hair on her temples. When Old Master mentioned him, his mother lowered her head and couldn’t help but wipe her tears.

Now that the time was ripe, the development of the Huo family in Yan City had attracted the attention of the Huo family in Harbor City. Once he entered the Huo family in Harbor City, he would definitely find the murderer who had harmed him back then!

Huo Heng’s eyes flashed with hatred.

After the speedboat had gone some distance, his rising emotions gradually calmed down.

He increased the speed of the speedboat.

At this moment, a panicked shout was heard. “Help, help—”

Huo Heng heard a familiar voice and looked outside. He saw a speedboat heading toward the deep sea.

There was a slender figure standing on the speedboat. The girl’s hands were tightly gripping the railing, her long hair was messed up by the sea breeze, covering her face. Huo Heng couldn’t see her face clearly.

But from her panicked voice, he could tell that she was in danger!

Without any hesitation, Huo Heng turned the speedboat around and chased after the speedboat.

…

The sky was gray, as if a thunderstorm was rolling in.

Xia Cha gripped the railing tightly, her heart in her throat.

She felt dizzy and her palms were covered in sweat.

She did not know if she was going to die in this deep sea.

She also did not know whom she had offended that they would use such a method to mess with her.

Just as Xia Cha was in despair, she saw a speedboat turn around to chase after her.

Xia Cha could not see the person on the speedboat clearly, but a glimmer of hope rose in her heart.

However, the speedboat Xia Cha was in was very fast. The speedboat behind her chased for a long time but could not catch up.

Boom, boom.

A deafening thunder sounded.

A storm was coming.

By then, it would be even more difficult to rescue her.

Huo Heng suddenly increased his speed to the maximum. The speedboat that was originally behind Xia Cha whizzed in front of her.

“Hold on tight to the railing.”

Huo Heng roared.

Hearing Huo Heng’s order, Xia Cha gripped the railing tightly.

At that moment, Huo Heng’s speedboat hit Xia Cha’s speedboat.

Xia Cha’s mind went blank for a few seconds.

Until the man shouted again, “Jump! Jump down quickly.”

Xia Cha was like a puppet being controlled. Before she could think, she jumped into the sea.

The moment she jumped into the sea, the two speedboats seemed to have collided again.

The moment she was enveloped by the cold seawater, Xia Cha felt suffocated.

She knew how to swim, but she was not very skilled.

After the shock, her head and limbs were slower than usual.

She seemed to have completely lost her train of thought and could only allow her body to sink continuously.

The salty seawater drowned her head and stole her breath.

She sensed the danger of death.

She waved her hands wildly, but she could not control her sinking body.

Just as she was feeling hopeless, a slender and strong arm reached out toward her.

She grabbed onto the man’s neck like an octopus.

The man’s body seemed to stiffen for a moment, but he quickly carried her to the surface.

When she encountered fresh air, she was like a fish without water, opening her mouth and gasping for breath.

“Heck…” She rested her chin on the man’s shoulder. Her face was pale and she looked weak.

“Do you want to strangle me to death?” After some time, she heard the man’s lazy teasing.

Xia Cha found the man’s voice familiar. She looked up and glanced at him.

Seeing that handsome face, Xia Cha was stunned for a few seconds.

She quickly let go of the man’s neck.

But her body was sinking into the sea again.

Her survival instincts were strong as she hugged the man’s waist.

The man narrowed his long and narrow peach blossom eyes, the corners of his lips lifting into a charming smile. “Throwing yourself into my arms, huh?”

Xia Cha glared at him.

She wanted to let go, but at this moment, she couldn’t.

Her long eyelashes that were stained with seawater were like the wings of an injured butterfly, trembling and extremely fragile.

Huo Heng rarely saw her like this, so she must have really been frightened this time.

No longer teasing her, he carried her to his speedboat.

He carried Xia Cha to her seat. He didn’t say anything when he saw how weak she looked. He turned and handed her a jacket.

Xia Cha’s slender shoulders were draped with his suit jacket. She raised her hand and wiped the water droplets on her face, staring blankly at the man driving the speedboat.

He stood there, his wet clothes sticking to his tall body, making him look even taller.

Water droplets fell from the top of his head and slid down the contours of his smooth and handsome face. His eyes were looking in front of him. His eyelashes looked long and thick from the water…

She had always known that he was handsome and flawless.

But in the past, she had never liked him.

But now, her heart was racing.

Xia Cha’s ears slowly became hot.

Huo Heng glanced at Xia Cha and saw that her head was lowered and her ears were unusually red, as if they had been roasted.

He walked over and touched her head.

Her hot skin felt cool against his palm. Xia Cha froze.

She looked up at the man with her thick and long eyelashes and pretended to be fierce. “What are you doing?”

Huo Heng raised his eyebrows and smacked his lips. “You’re really good at turning your back on me.”

Xia Cha bit her pale lips. “Thank you for saving me. I just…”

Huo Heng knew that she had only hugged him because of her survival instincts. Now that she had recovered, she naturally disliked his touch.

Huo Heng shrugged, as if he didn’t take her bad attitude to heart. “I saw that your ears were very red, so I thought you had a fever.”

Xia Cha lowered her eyes, not knowing what to say. She stood up and said in a low voice, “I’ll go out and get some air.”

Under his gaze, Xia Cha escaped from the driver’s seat.
