An hour later, Teresa disembarked and boarded a speedboat. Before long, she was on the island where she used to work.
Soon, she was brought to Frillank’s office.
“Hahaha, our beautiful Miss Teresa, welcome back to the Great Britain Life Science Research Institute!” Frillank, leaning back on the sofa with his legs crossed, laughed heartily.
Teresa, with a cold face, asked, “Mr. Frillank, where is my mother?”
Frillank lit a cigar, took a slow puff, and said, “Teresa, don’t worry, your mother is not sick. I’ve just invited her to stay on the island for a couple of days.”
“You should understand what I mean. I’m using this as an excuse to summon you to the island with the intention of luring that Cheng Xiaofan here.”
Teresa sneered, “Do you think Cheng Xiaofan is so easily fooled that he would come here?”
Frillank chuckled smugly, “Teresa, I know Cheng Xiaofan very well. Whether it’s for your boyfriend Han Jie or for you, he will definitely come.”
“Don’t feel any pressure. If Cheng Xiaofan comes, I just want him to help us with something. He won’t be at a disadvantage!”
“As for you, as long as Cheng Xiaofan arrives on this island, I will send you back to China to be with Han Jie. This is a win-win situation. I hope you will cooperate with us!”
“I want to see my mother!” Teresa said.
Frillank’s face darkened. “When Cheng Xiaofan arrives, I will let you and your mother meet.”
He instructed the accompanying Lacey and Tautina, “It’s getting late, you two lead her down to rest!”
“Yes!” Lacey and Tautina responded in unison.
After leaving Frillank’s office, Teresa noticed many armed personnel patrolling in hidden areas.
This was something that had never happened before.
“Tautina, Lacey, why are there so many more armed personnel here?” Teresa asked, puzzled.
Tautina smiled, “It’s very simple. It’s all to welcome Cheng Xiaofan’s arrival.”
Lacey said, “I heard that Cheng Xiaofan is very skilled. Frillank has to be cautious!”
Tautina added kindly, “Teresa, since you are here, you must obey Frillank’s arrangements. Otherwise, both you and your mother will be in mortal danger!”
“As for Cheng Xiaofan, once he’s on this island, it will depend on his fate!”
…
The next morning.
After waking up, Cheng Xiaofan went downstairs and found Shen Ruobing, as usual, transformed into a little chef. With a white apron tied around her waist, she was already busy in the kitchen.
“Master, you’re awake!” Shen Ruobing greeted Cheng Xiaofan with a radiant smile upon seeing him.
Cheng Xiaofan looked at Shen Ruobing and smiled, “Ruobing, seeing you like this, it’s hard for me to imagine that you were an ice goddess in the business world in C City!”
“No matter how I look at it, you’re a gentle and lovely little chef!”
Shen Ruobing chuckled, “That depends on the environment. With Master here, I will always be a gentle and lovely disciple!”
“…” Cheng Xiaofan fell silent upon hearing this.
He couldn’t continue the conversation after his beautiful disciple’s words.
The meaning behind her words was truly endless and thought-provoking.
“Cough, cough!”
Cheng Xiaofan coughed lightly and said, “You’re busy, I’ll go for a walk outside the villa!”
Ring ring!
However, before he could leave, his phone rang.
He took out his phone and saw that it was a call from Teresa.
“Teresa, I just found out last night that you’re back in the country. How is your mother?” Cheng Xiaofan asked urgently after pressing the answer button.
Soon, Teresa’s voice came from the other end of the phone, “Mr. Cheng, my mother is arranged by Mr. Frillank to be on the island. I haven’t seen her since I returned yesterday.”
“Mr. Frillank asked me to call you. He wants to invite you to the island for a visit!”
Upon hearing this, Cheng Xiaofan smiled and said, “Okay, Teresa, I understand. Send me the location to my phone, and please also tell Mr. Frillank that I will arrive this morning!”
“Okay, thank you, Mr. Cheng!” Teresa said gratefully.
Cheng Xiaofan chuckled and said, “Teresa, you are my cousin Bai’s girlfriend. We are family, so no need to be polite.”
“Don’t worry, before I arrive, Frillank won’t harm your mother.”
“After I arrive, he will be even less likely to dare harm you two!”
Snap!
With that, he immediately hung up the phone.
Cheng Xiaofan knew that Frillank must have been sitting nearby, listening with great composure while he was on the phone with Teresa.
The last few sentences he spoke were for Frillank’s ears.
He was indirectly warning Frillank that Teresa was already considered part of his family, and if Frillank dared to harm them, he shouldn’t blame Cheng Xiaofan for being impolite.
“Xiaofan, are you leaving for Great Britain immediately?” At this moment, Bai Yiling appeared before Cheng Xiaofan.
Cheng Xiaofan nodded and said, “Yes, this Great Britain Life Science Research Institute is very well-known in the world, and it is said that some of its equipment is quite advanced. I want to go there as soon as possible to take a look and perhaps ‘borrow’ a couple of machines.”
“Alas, when I was young, whenever a neighbor’s orchard’s fruits were ripe, my hands would itch, and I’d like to lead people there at midnight to sneak some back for a taste.”
“Now my old habit has resurfaced. Old habits die hard!”
What was originally a dangerous matter was described so casually by Cheng Xiaofan.
Bai Yiling said, “Xiaofan, let me go with you!”
Cheng Xiaofan shook his head and said, “Forget it, time is tight this time, so I won’t take you. Next time I have free time, I’ll take you to that island to play for a few days!”
“…” Bai Yiling was speechless.
Her mysterious man’s words were somewhat unreliable. Was he treating the island of Great Britain as his own, where he could come and go as he pleased?
Alright!
If you have the ability, you have the final say!
Just after breakfast, Han Jie rushed over from the construction site.
“Xiaofan, I heard you’re about to rush to Great Britain?” Han Jie asked immediately upon meeting him.
Cheng Xiaofan smiled, “Your news is really well-informed. How did you know so quickly?”
Han Jie said a little sheepishly, “I just texted Yiling a moment ago, asking her if there was any news from Great Britain, and she told me about you going there.”
Cheng Xiaofan nodded and said, “Yes, Teresa called early this morning and said Frillank wants to invite me to his place for a visit. It’s such a warm invitation, I can’t refuse!”
“There’s one thing I can assure you of. Once I get there, I guarantee you’ll see Teresa tomorrow!”
Upon hearing this, Han Jie said excitedly, “Xiaofan, I feel relieved hearing your words. By the way, you’d better ask Teresa to bring her mother here too, so she doesn’t have to worry about two things.”
“Alright, I’ll definitely pass on your message!” Cheng Xiaofan said with a smile.
“Screech—”
In less than ten minutes, the Sky Eagle carried Cheng Xiaofan into the air.
