It was just a very ordinary little yellow flower. Compared to the various bouquets of flowers that Mu Chenfei had received in the past, this was almost the least presentable flower. But at this moment, it was clear that this twenty-year-old girl was somewhat moved.
More obviously, if this almost life-dependent state continued, it wouldn't take long, perhaps just two or three days, before this girl, who was like a princess, would feel that this man was the most perfect man in the world—brave, good at fighting, considerate, and with strong survival skills. Yes, if placed in a primitive society, he would be a top-notch human being!
But the words Bak said next completely changed her mood: "But there's another option, to go home right now. Can your family contact a doctor?"
Mu Chenfei, who was probably sick, wasn't as sharp as yesterday: "Huh? Can... can we go back?" She finally reacted, noticing that the T-shirt Bak was wearing was the one Uncle Cheng had worn yesterday, and the jeans weren't his: "They came? They solved it?"
Bak casually threw away the herbs he had found: "Yeah, let's go. It's all over." He seemed to have never considered that staying longer would likely make this princess-like girl depend on and even fall for him. He just wanted to go home early to avoid worrying his parents.
Mu Chenfei stopped completely: "Really?"
Bak looked around, seeing nothing that needed to be taken, and let go of Mu Chenfei. He went over to pick up the suit and work clothes used last night, grabbed a pack of cigarettes, and after some thought, took an extra pack and put it in the suit pocket. Then he extended his hand: "I'll carry you out, I won't touch... " The girl had already extended her hand.
Mu Chenfei accepted the carrying plan without hesitation. Bak carried her and quickly walked to the other end of the small island. She didn't think much about it, and following the previous mood, she didn't feel as if she had been so averse to or resistant to this back. She naturally leaned her head on his shoulder, as if she were taking a nap, and even fell asleep!
Actually, the island was no bigger than a soccer field. It didn't take long to reach the rubber boat on the shallow beach, with an electric motor placed on the shore. Bak put the drowsy girl on the boat, draped the suit over her, and told her to hold the lapels: "Hold tight, there's some wind on the lake." He then picked up a few metal tools, quickly wiped and disassembled them, and threw them into the water. Finally, he picked up the motor, turned it on, fixed it to the back of the rubber boat, and lowered the propeller end. The rubber boat sped away.
Mu Chenfei felt the wind blowing fiercely on her back. She looked up at the island that seemed like a dream, then squinted to look at the land on the shore, which felt very unreal. She held the suit with her left hand, lowered her head, and with her right hand, hidden in the suit, she held a herb she had picked earlier. After a while, she spoke softly: "Did you... kill someone?" The screams had left a deep impression on her.
Fortunately, she was sitting at the front of the boat, and even a low voice could be heard. The electric motor wasn't very noisy. Bak's expression was exaggeratedly surprised: "Did I? No, I didn't. You don't know, right? It was just a car accident... Go home, have a good sleep, and you'll still be your princess, nothing happened, right?"
Mu Chenfei, almost for the first time, looked directly into Bak's eyes. Those bright, smiling eyes seemed much younger compared to his dark appearance. She hesitated and nodded: "Yeah, it was a car accident..." She tried to smile in response, but it was difficult.
Bak, like a hypnotist, said: "Sometimes after a car accident, it's not easy to find a place to report it, so you have to walk a long way. Having a fever and a cold is normal. I accidentally found you, and getting some reward is fair, right?"
Mu Chenfei looked at him and repeated: "Yeah, there's a reward..." This was very certain.
Then both of them were silent.
The electric motor's power was actually quite small. It took about an hour to get there, and it would take about the same time to go back. The two of them were silent the whole way. For Mu Chenfei, it was like a world turned upside down, returning from that unreal world to her own.
But Bak was used to it. For him, it was more like a self-study class to maintain his combat skills...
In Bak's memory, the seven people he saw at the kidnapping scene yesterday were all dead. It was probably because they couldn't contact this side last night, so they came early in the morning to check the situation. The key point was that there were only two subordinates on the other side, so the three of them came to the island, which stopped Bak's original plan to leave the island and continue to hunt down the other survivors.
A little delay just meant digging holes to bury the bodies and clearing out pockets, and stripping off clothes. It was really hard to carry much in big shorts.
So when the rubber boat rushed onto the stone beach on the shore, Mu Chenfei could habitually extend her hand to let Bak help her down. Standing on the stone beach, watching Bak deflate and fold the rubber boat, her proud expression gradually returned, but her focused eyes were always on Bak.
Bak folded the rubber boat, picked up the motor, and at the tip of the road by the shore, a Volkswagen Passat was parked. He found the car key from a bunch of keys, opened the trunk to put the things inside, and opened the driver's seat. But he found a few large bags in the back. Mu Chenfei stood by the back door, her expression clearly demanding that Bak clear the back. She was used to sitting in the back, except when she drove herself.
This is how rich people behave!
Only nouveau riche would sit in the front passenger seat!
So Bak took the black large bag out and put it in the front and the trunk. As expected, the size and weight indicated it was full of money, roughly estimating a few million: "Wow, you already got the advance payment?" It seemed that Uncle Cheng and the others didn't give up. They had already received the money but didn't run away with it, of course, now no one could run away.
Mu Chenfei sat in the car indifferently: "If you want it, take it!"
Bak knew his limits: "This is ransom money, I won't touch it." Curiously, he opened the bag and was surprised to find Hong Kong dollars, thousand-dollar bills, which greatly increased the value of the money: "All in cash! Does your family have so much Hong Kong dollars?" In mainland cities, who would stockpile Hong Kong dollars for no reason?
Mu Chenfei still had that expression: "Subsidiaries and branches of various groups collect some cash, right... I didn't ask, but some financial companies dealing with funds have Hong Kong dollars?" Her tone was indifferent.
Bak put the bags on the roof in the passenger seat. Mu Chenfei looked at the bags next to her and still felt a bit disgusted: "Take them all!"
Bak sat in the driver's seat: "Just bear with it... call your family." He took out four phones from his pocket and put them on the center console. These were the phones he had found on the three men, including two from Uncle Cheng.
Mu Chenfei still picked through them with her fingers before taking a flip phone and dialing a number. As soon as the call connected, she started crying!
Perhaps only by hearing her family's voice did she truly believe she had returned to her original world!
A world reborn!
