An Exclusive love-Chapter 430 - Anthony Was Dead
Chen Chen secretly hid herself in the washroom and called Ah Zi but it didn’t get through.
“What should I do… what should I do… did I rape Brother Xiao Rui or not?” She hit her head on the wall. She remembered Ah Zi had told her that she would feel painful after that. But she didn’t feel the pain. But… what if Jiang Rui did a nice job?
She buried her face.
Outside the door came Jiang Rui’s voice. “Are you ready? We are going to see the corals today.”
She took a deep breath and decided to face it! Chen Chen pulled the door open. “I’ll be responsible!”
Jiang Rui stopped for a minute and then the smile in his eyes spread out. “How do you plan to be responsible?”
“Um…” Chen Chen thought for a second and said, “Just as you say.” Then she stared. “But you can’t tell my parents.”
If I told them, I would be exposed… Jiang Rui thought in mind.
“Okay, it will be our secret.”
Chen Chen reached out her little finger and said, “Pinkie swear!”
“Pinkie swear.” Jiang Rui tried to stop his intention to smile. “Get changed. We are about to set out.”
Seeing the clothes that Jiang Rui prepared for her, Chen Chen was surprised. It was a matching outfit that had red checks.
“What’s wrong? You don’t like it?” Jiang Rui saw her holding the clothes without a move.
Chen Chen shook her head. “No, I thought you don’t wear this kind of clothes!”
“It is a holiday now. I can wear anything.” Jiang Rui narrowed his eyes. “You don’t want to wear it?”
Thinking about that she might have forced him to sleep together, she didn’t dare to say no…
“Haha, I’ll get changed now!” Chen Chen flatteringly ran in.
They rode the electric bicycle out of the garden and saw many policemen cordoning off the road.
“What happened?” Chen Chen blankly looked at him. Jiang Rui stopped the car and said, “Let’s have a look there.”
Many visitors were there to observe what had happened and a villa was especially surrounded. That woman, Han Xueying, whom Chen Chen saw yesterday was talking to the police about something while crying.
When she saw them, she screamed and pointed at Jiang Rui. “That’s him. He was the one who quarreled with my boyfriend yesterday.”
Feeling Chen Chen’s tremble, Jiang Rui held her into his arms with his eyes turning dark. “Don’t be afraid. It has nothing to do with us.”
“Sir, we have several questions that need your cooperation and answers.” The policeman walked to them.
Jiang Rui nodded. “Please tell me what happened first.”
“Mr. Latin Anthony who had lived here was murdered last night.” The cop took a look at Han Xueying who wouldn’t stop crying. “When his girlfriend found him in the bathtub, his throat had already been cut off.”
Jiang Rui said calmly, “Last night, we stayed in our own villa. The waiter who served our dinner can prove for us.”
“After that?” The cop’s recording pen stopped. “You didn’t get out?”
“We are here to spend the honeymoon. There is only one place we’ll stay at night.” Jiang Rui looked at Chen Chen and her face obviously turned red as expected.
The policeman saw that too and smiled kindly, “Then there is no witness. It is quite tough to deal with. Because when you haven’t arrived, many people said that you had fought against the man yesterday in the hotel.”
“Though there is no witness, there are all cameras around our villa. You’ll know after you see the videos.” Jiang Rui pointed at the camera, which was hidden on the gate of the garden.
“That’s great!” The policeman was happy to see that. “Thus our work can be easier. At last, we have to ask you to not leave the island before getting our notification.”
Jiang Rui replied casually. “No problem. We’ll stay here for half a month.”
“Can I talk to that miss for a second?” Jiang Rui asked again, “After all, we are both Chinese.”
The cop was satisfied that Jiang Rui was so cooperation so he gladly agreed. Jiang Rui pulled Chen Chen to walk to Han Xueying.
“You… what do you want to do?” Han Xueying was a bit scared. She had hatred. Why did the man treat her like that? Since the man was so ruthless to her, she could give him some trouble.
Jiang Rui looked at her ironically. “Your boss didn’t tell you to stay away from me?”
“I don’t know what you are talking about.” Although Han Xueying replied like that, she became frightened inside.
“You have offended me.” Jiang Rui said coldly, “You only need to understand that.” He finished the words and dragged Chen Chen to leave before she had any reactions.
After they left the place, Chen Chen asked curiously, “Brother Xiao Rui, do you have any secrets that you haven’t told me?”
“Haha, it’s nothing.” Jiang Rui parked the electric bicycle at the dock.
Chen Chen pouted. “You lied. If you don’t tell me, I won’t get into the boat.”
“Get in first and then I’ll tell you about it.” Jiang Rui held her. “I didn’t mean to keep it from you but it has nothing to do with us. I just knew about it when I asked your father yesterday.”
Jiang Rui told her about Anthony’s real identification and how he died. Chen Chen said angrily, “That woman is shameless. She wanted to frame us again.”
“She can only say that.” Jiang Rui dressed her in a life jacket and added, “Don’t think about that anymore. Get ready to set out!”
At that time, Han Xueying received a call from Anthony March who was the master in the Anthony family for now.
“You did a great job. Now You can choose whether to leave or to come back with me. I’ve put an amount of money into your account.” March sounded very happy. From the day on, no one would threaten his status.
Han Xueying was still thinking about Jiang Rui’s words in the morning and answered absent-mindedly, “I don’t want to come back now.”
“Okay.” March said quickly, “As a reminder, there is a Chinese couple on the island these days. You should stay away from them.” He knew Han Xueying had been spoiled by men as a beauty, so she was quite proud. But some men just didn’t buy it.
Hearing this sentence, Han Xueying felt surprised. “Chinese couple? What do you mean?”
“You’d better not scheme on that man. He is very complicated and has his way on both sides. You’re not qualified to mess with him.” March said it like a joke, “I haven’t tasted you yet, so I don’t want you to die out there.”
Han Xueying trembled. “You’re afraid of him too?”
“I won’t offend him unless I have no other choice.” March finished his words and hung up.
What to do… Han Xueying felt anxious.
The man March talked about must be Jiang Rui. She had not only offended him but also tried to scheme him. Han Xueying circled twice from where she stood. Then she bit her teeth and started to pack Latin’s luggage. The guy carried much money and jewelry with him.
Jiang Rui and Chen Chen didn’t come back until the dusk.
“Put them in the shallow water outside of the villa and put them back into the sea when we leave!” Chen Chen leaned on Jiang Rui’s body to look down. The man carried two buckets in his hands. Inside them was all they reaped the whole day.
Chen Chen asked after her own words, “They won’t die, right?”
“No.” Jiang Rui looked at the buckets which were full of clown fish of all colors and several starfish and corals. “But, you can’t show them to others.”
It was not allowed for the guests to get corals from the sea privately in the Great Barrier Reef. They could take them back because of their special identifications.
“I know! I know!” Chen Chen said proudly, “I have read the instructions in your room. It is said that we’ll be fined heavily if we get caught.” She happily sat on the electric bicycle, “It is great to have a privilege!”
Jiang Rui knocked on her forehead. “See how complacent you are.”
“Today, I’m too tired. We have to change the schedule.” Chen Chen didn’t care to refute his words. She mumbled herself. “We should go to the bonfire party tomorrow. We can go for a meal in that Dark Mountain Cliff later and we can do a massage there!”
When passing by Anthony’s villa, they just came across the cop they had talked to in the morning.
“Sir, sorry to interrupt. We have investigated the monitor. Now you are free to go anytime you want.”
Jiang Rui expressed his thanks and asked him, “Is there anybody who still lives here?”
“The dead man’s girlfriend has left. She said that she wanted to get her parents here.” The policeman nodded to them after his words and left.
Chen Chen looked at the villa, “She is pretty fast. There definitely won’t be anyone living here for a period.”
“Let’s go.”
To get changed, Jiang Rui still prepared a couple’s suit. But the one Chen Chen was wearing was a long skirt with belts. When the wind blew, it was like she was flying up. She circled and said casually, “You can’t have arranged all the clothes in couple’s suits?”
“Yeah.” Jiang Rui answered calmly, “Do you remember that you still owe me three requests?”
Chen Chen’s face fell. “I thought you forgot about it!”
“Now I’ll name the first one.” Jiang Rui curled his lips. “The clothes we’re going to wear these days have to be arranged by me. You are not allowed to refuse it.”
“Okay!” Chen Chen nodded instantly. It was just a couple’s suit. She wouldn’t be afraid if he didn’t feel strange about it…
After dinner, Chen Chen was ready to enjoy the famous massage there when Jiang Rui said, “Go home. I’ll massage for you.”
“You know how to massage?” Chen Chen didn’t believe and stared at him cautiously. “You’re still mad at me for my yesterday’s behaviors, right? So you will strangle me when you do massage for me.”
Jiang Rui frowned and said, “What nonsense you are talking about. Hurry up. It’s time to go back.”
“No, I don’t want to.” Chen Chen stood still.
The man’s eyes turned dark. “The second request is that I will do massage for you during the time we are on the island.”
…
Now she had no chance to reject and had to follow Jiang Rui back into the villa, depressed.
In the shallow water area of the villa, there were corals and colorful fishes swimming around. And the round-shaped lamp floated in the middle of the sea water, which made it vague and mysterious.
Chen Chen wrapped herself in a big bathrobe and slowly moved to him.
“Take it off and get down.” Jiang Rui was standing in the water in a pair of black swimming trunks and pointed at a sling chair on the water surface.
“I can just wear it…” Chen Chen’s whole face was red.
Jiang Rui said intentionally, “You grew up on an island. What is so bashful for you to wear a swimming suit?”
The bathing suit was no big deal, but she had never worn such a scanty bikini! Chen Chen screamed silently. The bathing suit Jiang Rui prepared for her was a suit of red bikini which was connected with only one string. She was too bashful to wear such a bathing suit.
“Yesterday…” Chen Chen shivered at the man’s scary words.
“Yesterday, you saw me completely naked.”
It was no time for Chen Chen to cry. She made up her mind, tore off the bathrobe, jumped into the sea and quickly leaned on the sling chair. Then she covered her body with the bath towel.
“I’ll start now.” Jiang Rui smiled silently. He poured the essential oil into his hands and pressed onto the white skin on her back…
