The two maids were slightly stunned. One of them quickly waved her hand and said, "Miss Xi, we're just the maids here. How would we dare to let you go? Besides, we can't let you go. We are even required to secure a pass just to be allowed to enter the certain areas."
The other maid said, "Miss Xi, I really don't understand you. Mr. Nangong is a handsome and wealthy man. The Nangong family is very influential in Singapore. Countless women want to marry him. The opportunity is yours for the taking, yet you still want to escape from marrying him. You don't know how lucky you are." The maid sighed in frustration.
Mu Ru heard listened to the two maids. She knew that there was no point in asking them for help. They were telling the truth. They couldn't help her because they were simply lowly servants.
If they were on land, she would have tried jumping down from the upper floor and escaping on her own.
However, she was on a cruise ship in the middle of the vast sea. Even if she jumped from the deck, she would be rescued by Nangong Xun's people and still end up marrying him.
If Nangong Xun wouldn't have her rescued, she would drown and die because she had never learned how to swim. She would probably drown in less than a minute.
She was only nineteen years old, and she was supposed to be celebrating her birthday on that day. She was so young, and she really didn't want to die. However, if she remained in that ship, she would have to marry Nangong Xun that night.
She was confused and pondered on what to do. She wondered if she had to resign and give in to fate and obediently marry Nangong Xun. That would make her the young madam of the Nangong family.
Dongfang Yu gazed at the pitch-black surface of the sea. Then, he turned to Uncle Liu, who was sitting beside him, and asked, "Have you investigated everything? Was she really kidnapped by that bastard Nangong Xun and brought to a cruise ship?"
"Yes," Uncle Liu answered respectfully. "I found out that Nangong Xun didn't accept Xi Yuancheng's payment of two hundred million, which was meant to be payment for damages after Nangong Xun's engagement to the First Madam was broken off. Not only did Xi Yuancheng simply accept the two hundred million from the Dongfang family, he also didn't tell us about it. It's obvious that—"
"I understand." Dongfang Yu waved his hand and said, "Immediately book the fastest yacht you can find. I want to chase after her. Tonight, I have to bring her back no matter what."
"But..." Uncle Liu paused for a moment before continuing. "This is clearly a trap. Nangong Xun is simply waiting for you to get caught in it, and—"
"Stop talking," Dongfang Yu quickly interrupted Uncle Liu. His face was blurred under the hazy moonlight. In a low voice, he said, "Uncle Liu, I have to go and find her. The Dongfang family cannot afford to be embarrassed over this! Xi Muru is the eldest young mistress of the Dongfang family. That is an undeniable fact. If she becomes the young mistress of the Nangong family, we will be a laughingstock. How then will the Dongfang family secure influence over the Jianghu?"
Uncle Liu was shocked. He quickly took out his phone to call his subordinates. He asked them to arrange for two of the fastest yachts to be sent over as soon as possible.
