Chapter 45: Returning Home Safely

  This fishing boat is still quite high-end, and it even has an automatic navigation driving function.

  Lin San set up the autopilot and returned to the cabin to continue "torturing" Gao Meng's father and son.

  Poor Gao Meng and Hu Zi were tormented by Lin San until they were neither human nor ghost.

  Two days have passed.

  "Lin San, come quickly!" Gu Jialan suddenly shouted loudly on the deck, her voice filled with a hint of excitement.

  Lin San was eating in the cabin when he heard Gu Jialan's cry for help and immediately stood up and walked out of the cabin.

  Gujalan stood at the bow of the boat, looking straight ahead, his expression unusually agitated.

  "What's wrong?" Lin San asked.

  "What's that?" Gu Jialan pointed ahead and asked.

  Lin San raised his head suspiciously and looked forward: "Land!?" About a few hundred meters ahead, a huge dock appeared, behind which were rows of high-rise buildings.

  "We're finally back on land!" Gu Jialan exclaimed excitedly.

  Lin San walked to the side of Gu Jialan, looking at the increasingly close dock, feeling a little excited. After drifting on the sea for so many days, he finally saw land and could finally go home.

  Half an hour later, the fishing boat docked steadily at the pier.

  Lin San and Gu Jialan climbed up to the dock, Gu Jialan took out her mobile phone from her pocket, found it was out of power, then she looked around for a public telephone and called the police.

  A few minutes later, two police cars came over and after inquiring about the situation, they took Gao Meng's father and son, Lin San, and Gu Jialan to the police station.

  After finishing their statements at the police station, Lin San and Gu Jialan were released, while Gao Meng's father and son were detained directly.

  "What shall we do now?" Lin San stood at the entrance of the Public Security Bureau, turning his head to look at Gu Jialan. Just now, through the introduction of the police, they learned that the city where they were currently located was called Qinglan City, which was far from Lanzhou City.

  "I immediately called my dad and asked him to come pick me up," said Gu Jialan, who then found a public phone and dialed Gu Changfeng's number.

  The phone rang for a long time before it was answered.

  "Hello?" The voice of Gu Changfeng with a slight hoarseness came from the receiver.

  Hearing Gu Changfeng's voice, Gu Jialan's eyes turned red and tears flowed uncontrollably: "Dad..."

  On the other end of the phone, there was a moment of silence, followed by Gu Changfeng's trembling voice: "Jialan... is that really you?"

  "Gu Jia Lan nodded repeatedly: "Dad, it's me.""

  "My daughter, you're still alive!" Gu Changfeng exclaimed excitedly.

  "Dad, I'm sorry, I've worried you for so long." Gu Jialan said with a guilty tone.

  "Jialan, where are you now?" Gu Changfeng asked urgently.

  "I am in Qinglan City......" Gu Jialan described her location.

  "Wait there, I'll send someone to pick you up right away!" Gu Changfeng said before directly hanging up the phone.

  Gujalan gently put down the microphone, wiped away her tears with her hand, and then returned to Lin San's side.

  "How is it?" Lin San asked.

  "My dad said someone will come pick us up right away," Gu Jialan said.

  Lin San let out a sigh of relief: "This is good, this is good."

  About an hour later, a luxurious Mercedes-Benz sped over and screeched to a halt in front of Gu Jialan and Lin San. The car door opened, and out stepped a man in his 30s with long hair and a dignified demeanor.

  The long-haired man glanced at Lin San and Gu Jialan, finally focusing his gaze on Gu Jialan, politely asking: "Are you Miss Gu Jialan?"

  Gu Jialan nodded: "Yes, I am Gu Jialan."

  The long-haired man slightly bowed: "Miss Gu, hello, I was sent by Chairman Gu to pick you up and take you back to Lanzhou City." Gu Changfeng's business had grown very large, with a branch company in Qinglan City as well. The long-haired man was the person in charge of this branch company.

  "Thank you." Gu Jialan said with a word of gratitude.

  "Miss Gu, please." The long-haired man stretched out his hand and opened the rear car door, inviting Gu Jialan to get in.

  "Let's get in the car," Gu Jialan said, turning to look at Lin San. After finishing speaking, he bent down and got into the car, and the long-haired man gently closed the door.

  Lin San walked over, nodded at the long-haired man, then opened the passenger door and bent down to get in.

  "Lin San, come sit in the back." Gu Jialan said suddenly.

  "Ah?" Lin San was taken aback, looking at Gu Jialan with a hesitant expression. Lin San was clear about his own identity - just a small security guard, how could he sit together with Gu Jialan?

  At this time, a hint of doubt also appeared on the face of the long-haired man, who swept a glance at Lin San, moved his lips, wanting to say something, but swallowed it back.

  "Lin San, what are you still dazing about? Come over quickly!" Gu Jialan urged.

  Lin San licked his lips: "Miss Gu, I can just sit in front..."

  Gu Jialan smiled: "Lin San, I'm not a tiger, why are you so afraid of me?"

  "No, I just..." Lin San wanted to explain.

  "Lin San, am I not making sense now?" Gu Jialan waved her hand.

  Lin San was stunned and hastily shook his head: "How could this be? In Lin San's heart, Miss Gu's words are imperial decrees..."

  "Then hurry up and sit down at the back," said Gu Jialan.

  "I..." Lin San glanced at the long-haired man, nodded: "Okay." After finishing, he opened the rear seat door, bent down and sat beside Gu Jialan, but Lin San stuck tightly to the car door, trying to pull open the distance between him and Gu Jialan.

  Gujalan raised her head and glanced at the long-haired man: "Drive."

  "Yes." The long-haired man nodded, got into the driver's seat, started the car and slowly drove away.

  All the way, Lin San's waist was straight, his eyes were fixed on the front, and his forehead was covered with sweat.

  Gu Jialan glanced at Lin San's stiff expression and suddenly burst out laughing.

  Lin San turned his head in puzzlement: "Miss Gu, what are you smiling at?"

  "Haha, laugh at you." Gu Jialan said with a smile.

  "Huh?" Lin San was taken aback for a moment, and reached out to touch his own face: "What's so funny about me?"

  Bai Ledelin looked at Lin Sanyi with one eye and Gu Jialan said: "I laugh at you as a silly fool!"

  "Ah?" Lin San was stunned: "What is a stupid melon?"

  Gu Jialan smiled slightly, turned her head to one side and admired the scenery outside the car window, no longer paying attention to Lin San.

  Lin San was confused by Gu Jialan's actions, slightly furrowing his brow, and secretly pondering in his heart: What does "stupid wooden melon" mean? Is it something edible?

  The long-haired man drove while secretly observing Gu Jialan and Lin San through the rearview mirror. When he heard Gu Jialan scold Lin San as a "stupid wooden melon", the corner of the long-haired man's mouth twitched, and his expression also became somewhat strange.

  After more than 10 hours of driving, Gu Jialan and Lin San finally returned to Lanzhou City, at this time the sky had already darkened.

  Looking out of the car window at the familiar scenery, breathing in the familiar air, Gu Jialan and Lin San were both extremely excited. At one time, Gu Jialan and Lin San thought they would die, never to return to Lanzhou again for the rest of their lives. When people encounter difficulties and dangers, they will especially miss their hometown.

  "Vroom!" The Mercedes-Benz came to a smooth stop in front of the Ding Sheng Group building.

  The car door opened and Gu Jialan and Lin San slowly got out of the car.

  "Jialan!" A surprised voice came from one side.

  Gu Jialan looked up and saw Gu Changfeng running out of the building, looking at her with an excited expression. Gu Jialan's eyes turned red: "Dad!" After that, Gu Jialan quickly ran over and threw herself into Gu Changfeng's arms, bursting into loud sobs.

  "Jialan, my daughter, I thought you were dead." Gu Changfeng tightly hugged Gu Jialan, his eyes constantly streaming with joyful tears.

  Lin San stood aside, watching Gu Changfeng and Gu Jialan embracing each other in tears, his heart also aching.

  "Hello, Chairman Gu." The long-haired man walked over and greeted Gu Changfeng with respect.

  "Thanks for your hard work." Gu Changfeng thanked the long-haired man with a sentence.

  "It is my duty to serve the former chairman." The long-haired man said humbly.

  "After driving for a whole day, you must be tired too. Come on, take Mr. Hu to rest." Gu Changfeng instructed.

  A security guard walked over and respectfully led the long-haired man into the building.

  "Lin San, come here!" Gu Jialan suddenly beckoned Lin San over.

  Lin San was stunned and walked over: "Miss Gu, what's wrong?"

  "Father, this is Lin San. He sacrificed himself to protect me, and that's why I could return safely."

  "Oh?" Gu Changfeng looked Lin San up and down, nodded gratefully: "Thank you, thank you for saving my daughter."

  "Former chairman Gu, you don't have to be so polite. As a security guard, protecting Miss Gu is my duty." Lin San smiled and said.

  " Dwelling on past achievements without being arrogant, that's good, that's good." Gu Changfeng greatly appreciated Lin San's humble attitude.

  "Rumble, rumble......" A sudden clap of thunder echoed through the sky, accompanied by flashes of lightning.

  "It's going to rain, Jialan. Let's go inside the building and talk." Gu Changfeng pulled Gu Jialan along as they walked into the building, with several security guards hastily following behind to escort them.

  "Lin San, you stinky little brat, you're still alive!" A loud roar, a black shadow pounced over and punched Lin San's shoulder.

  Lin San let out a loud cry of pain, looked up and saw that his face suddenly lit up with joy: "Li Cong, you're not dead?"

  Li Cong's face showed a look of discontent: "What? Are you eager for me to die?"

  "Not on the cruise ship, weren't you stabbed? I thought you..." Seeing Li Cong jumping around energetically, Lin San felt especially delighted.

  "It was lucky for me that the knife missed by just a millimeter from my heart, and thanks to timely medical treatment, I managed to escape with my life." Just recalling this incident made Li Cong's heart skip a beat.

  "Lin San!" Zhou Tian led a group of all security guards over.

  "Head of the class, Zheng Guang, Zhang Biao..." Looking at the familiar faces one by one, Lin San's heart was very excited.

  "Lin San, seeing you safe and sound, I'm truly delighted." Zhou Tian said happily.

  "Lin San, where have you been all these days? Why haven't we heard a word from you?" Li Cong asked.

  Lin San let out a wry smile: "This thing is long to say..." Then, Lin San recounted his experiences over the past few days to everyone, but he concealed the stone platform and copper bell he saw on the deserted island.

  After listening to Lin San's account, Zhou Tian and Li Cong let out a burst of exclamations, all saying that Lin San was very lucky to have survived this way, his luck wasn't ordinary.
