Wang Chao was dumbfounded!
What just happened?
Wasn't Scarlett just threatening to kill him?
How did she suddenly do this?
While he was still confused and puzzled, he suddenly felt a sharp pain on his lips.
His expression changed, and he quickly pushed Scarlett away.
He touched his lips and saw blood all over his hand.
Scarlett had actually bitten his lips, causing them to bleed.
"This is punishment for silently leaving me!" Scarlett wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and glared at Wang Chao.
However, behind the anger in her eyes, there were also many regrets and sadness of unrequited love.
"So, are we even now?" Wang Chao asked.
"We're barely even," Scarlett stared at Wang Chao, her gaze still icy, and said, "Why can't we kill Joseph?"
"He has a new drug that my friend desperately needs," Wang Chao truthfully replied.
"Your friend? Is it a woman?"
"Yes!"
"Have you had sexual relations with her too?"
"..."
Wang Chao was speechless, "What are you talking about? I just genuinely wanted to help this friend. She really needs Joseph's assistance."
Scarlett stared into Wang Chao's eyes for fifteen seconds, then sighed and said, "It seems like you really like her."
"Huh?"
"When you talk about her, there's something in your eyes that wasn't there when you looked at me before."
"What is it?"
"Hmph, even if I told you, you wouldn't understand."
Scarlett pouted and glared at Wang Chao, "Men like you can't control your own 'dick,' and yet you're so cold and heartless. You play with a girl and then just leave, taking no responsibility!"
"Talking to a playboy like you feels like an insult to me!"
Wang Chao: (￣ェ￣;) .
Damn it!
This is downright humiliating!
He had actually considered taking responsibility for Scarlett, but then he found out he had become the third party involuntarily. He hadn't even confronted Scarlett about it, and now, how did everything become his fault?
"Alright, I'll spare Joseph for your sake."
Scarlett sheathed her sword and smiled coquettishly, "But as a condition, I need you to accompany me tonight."
Accompany her, for a night?
Why does that 'one' word easily lead to other associations?
Wang Chao shook his head, "I can't tonight, I really can't get away."
"Tomorrow night?"
"Not tomorrow night either!"
"When will you be available then?"
"It might have to wait until after we disembark."
"Okay, I'll make an appointment with you after we disembark. It's been so long since we've seen each other, we must find a place to catch up."
Scarlett looked at Wang Chao, and a glimpse of tenderness and love flickered in her eyes.
Although she resented Wang Chao for leaving without a word and completely disappearing, today, after seeing Wang Chao with her own eyes and knowing that he was safe, the resentment in her heart disappeared without a trace.
In its place was a sense of anticipation, looking forward to reliving the past with Wang Chao.
Wang Chao was speechless, "We can catch up, but you're already married and have children. If we go beyond that, it might cross a line."
"You know I'm married?" Scarlett's eyes subtly changed, and then, she suddenly felt a sweet and blissful sensation in her heart.
Wang Chao knew she was married and even knew she had a child, which meant that over the years, Wang Chao had quietly kept an eye on her, warming her heart.
Wang Chao looked at Scarlett and nodded.
After all, they had fought side by side, risked their lives, and made love many times as good comrades. Even after he left without a word, he still paid attention to Scarlett's well-being.
Even occasionally, when Scarlett was in danger during missions, he would lend a helping hand.
Scarlett's joy in her heart grew even stronger at his words.
She walked over and kissed Wang Chao again, saying, "With you saying that, I won't harm the target you're protecting this time."
"The person I'm protecting is not Joseph," Wang Chao said.
"Regardless of who you're protecting, I won't touch him."
"Aren't you afraid of trouble from your employer?"
"Other than you, no one dares to trouble me! Well then, my dear Mr. Li Donghai, see you after we disembark!"
Scarlett's gaze at Wang Chao clearly held both love and a hint of resentment. However, as a spy, she was particularly free-spirited and didn't cling to Wang Chao excessively. After agreeing on a meeting time after disembarking, she kissed Wang Chao on the cheek and then bid farewell, disappearing without a trace.
"Foreign women are indeed very open-minded. They dare to love and hate. They already have husbands and children, yet they still want to be intimate with me. I can't stand it."
Wang Chao looked at Scarlett's slender figure with a curved waist and plump buttocks. He wiped the red lipstick marks from his mouth and face and shook his head.
Western education is very different from Eastern education.
He had encountered many Western beauties who, regardless of everything, dared to love and hate. Once they fell in love, they would throw themselves into the relationship, even if it had no future. They would still enjoy the process.
Even if they were already married, when they encountered true love, they would risk everything for a passionate love affair.
Eastern concepts of love, on the other hand, tend to be more traditional and moral, with the pursuit of only loving one person for a lifetime. Once married, most people would consider their partner and relationship to be unchangeable for life.
"It's a pity that nowadays, many people have changed. Desires run rampant, and when faced with temptations, some people can't resist and make mistakes."
"Once they make a mistake and their spouse finds out, their family is lost, and their fortune may be lost as well."
Wang Chao turned his head to look at the men and women enjoying themselves in the debauched party and shook his head inwardly, thinking, "No wonder wealthy and influential celebrities are unwilling to get married. They're all pleasure seekers and don't want to be restrained."
In this day and age, with the invasion of Western culture and beliefs, the beautiful concept of loving only one person for a lifetime in traditional culture has been completely diluted.
Some people can love multiple people in just one night!
"Help!"
"Is anyone there? Mr. Joseph has fainted!"
Just as Wang Chao was preparing to leave, suddenly, a terrified scream came from Joseph's room. Accompanying the scream was a disheveled beauty rushing out, her face pale, panic-stricken, shouting, "Help! Is there a ship doctor? Please come and save him!"
Joseph had indeed encountered trouble.
Wang Chao remained calm and walked up, saying, "I am a doctor, let me take a look."
"You're a doctor? That's great! Please come in and see how Mr. Joseph is."
The anxious beauty, upon hearing Wang Chao's words, was overjoyed and immediately grabbed his hand, leading him into the room.
Once inside the room, Wang Chao immediately saw Joseph lying on the bed, blood seeping from the corners of his mouth, breathing rapid and irregular, like a candle flickering in the wind, on the verge of extinguishing.
Moreover, Joseph's eyes were tightly shut, his face contorted in pain, as if enduring immense torment.
Beside him were traces of blood he had vomited, a horrifying sight.
A well-dressed, attractive female celebrity stood by his side, her face filled with fear and unease, her complexion pale.
"When did he become like this?" Wang Chao asked.
"He... he was perfectly fine just now, playing a board game with us, that flying chess. But then, when we were playing together, he suddenly spat out blood and passed out. We couldn't wake him up no matter what."
The female celebrity who had brought Wang Chao inside looked pale and pleaded with anxious eyes, "Doctor, he... he won't die, right?"
As soon as this was mentioned, both female celebrities trembled, overwhelmed with fear.
They had only come aboard the ship to have fun and play games with the wealthy individuals, earning some extra money and networking opportunities.
If Joseph were to die while playing games with them, how could they bear the responsibility?
If the incident were to become known, how could they continue making money in the entertainment industry?
Wang Chao walked over, grabbed Joseph's wrist to check his pulse.
The pulse was weak and feeble!
It indicated that Joseph's heart was also having problems!
Then, he conducted a full examination of Joseph's body, and only then did he relax and say, "Don't worry, he has organ dysfunction, which caused the blood to attack his heart, leading to loss of consciousness. But he is not in life-threatening danger."
After speaking, he took out silver needles he had obtained from the ship's medical room and swiftly inserted them into several acupoints on Joseph's body, protecting his heart and ensuring that Joseph wouldn't die.
Upon hearing Wang Chao's reassurance, the two female celebrities finally breathed a sigh of relief, collapsing to the ground, drenched in sweat, gasping for breath.
The sight of Joseph losing consciousness and vomiting blood had terrified them, leaving their minds blank, almost suffocating.
Now that they knew Joseph wouldn't die, they finally let go of their worries. Their hearts raced, pounding out of their chests, their bodies soaked in sweat.
It must be uttered that these two female celebrities were exceptionally beautiful, with melon seed faces, big eyes, fair skin, and captivating features. They had slender waists and curvaceous figures, undoubtedly goddess-level beauties.
After treating Joseph, Wang Chao glanced at the two women and uttered lightly, "Mr. Joseph is fine now. He will wake up in about an hour. You do not need to worry."
"That's good, that's good." The two women, relieved from their terror, patted their chests, feeling lucky.
After chatting for a while, Wang Chao learned the names of the two women. One was Han Qiuju, and the other was Song Yingya, both actresses with some fame in the entertainment industry.
Looking at them, Wang Chao suddenly thought of Wang Zuxian and Yang Mi and could not help but ask, "In your industry, do celebrities often engage in such activities?"
"Did Wang Zuxian and Yang Mi, have they done this sort of thing?"
