Pure Love Imprisoned: My Ex-Boyfriend, Who Blamed Me, Imprisoned Me in Love

He Duoye watched the speedboat disappear quickly on the water's surface as the tide slowly receded, reaching his waist.

Several figures slowly approached from the woods on the other side of the beach, finally stopping at the edge of the woods.

He Duoye withdrew his gaze, turned around, and walked towards the shore. Perhaps because his wound had been soaked in seawater, he suddenly felt a sharp, tearing pain in his flesh, so much so that he had to stand still for a while until the pain subsided.

The figures at the edge of the woods were none other than He Duoye's men, including Meizhu.

She was wearing camouflage hiking clothes, her hair was tied up, and her face was pale without makeup. She pulled a towel from her backpack and handed it to He Duoye, saying, "Uncle Kang Nuo was shot in the abdomen but is not dead. His men, as well as the Second Miss's men, are searching the nearby mountains."

Compared to the endless infighting within the He family, killing He Duoye directly in a deserted forest was clearly a more cost-effective approach. However, the forest was too vast, and they searched for dozens of hours without finding a trace of him.

But now that the ship has surfaced and been spotted by drones, people from both sides will soon be chasing after it.

He Duoye wiped his face, his expression cold, with an impatient and violent killing intent suppressed in his eyes. He glanced at the people who came over; they were all veterans who had followed him for several years, and each of them carried a gun.

Uncle Kang Nuo and He Jingjun thought he was alone, but in reality, Mei Zhu and the others had already been hiding in the mountains for a long time. While He Duoye and Lin Mian were sheltering from the rain in the wooden house, Mei Zhu and the others were keeping watch nearby.

This route of departure was the worst-case scenario He Duoye had planned for.

If they're lucky, Lin Mian and Wen Ya won't be discovered, and Lin Mian will catch a plane home from another city without incident. If they're unlucky, they'll have to take a roundabout sea route.

He Duoye knew that someone would definitely be chasing after him, whether it was He Jingjun or anyone else in the He family, they all hoped that he, who didn't care about the He family at all, would die soon.

It would be best if he died in this forest; no one would know how he died.

But He Duoye won't die here; he'll just kill all the filthy things chasing after him.

Lin Mian stayed on the ship's side for a long time. The two men who came to meet her were strangers she had never seen before. They looked at Lin Mian very awkwardly for a while before coming over to let her sit inside.

The ship that actually took Lin Mian away was on a much farther stretch of sea; it would take a speedboat about half an hour to get there.

Lin Mian propped herself up and sat in the cabin, lost in thought. Someone brought her water and food, as well as a clean towel to wipe her body. Lin Mian took the towel and held it in her hand without moving it.

She doesn't want to do anything or move at all right now.

My body, soaked by the seawater, felt heavy, as if I were stuck in some kind of mud, both cold and heavy.

The wind was very strong at sea, and it hurt people's eyes.

In the distance, Lin Mian could vaguely hear the whirring of a drone. She looked up and saw the drone's black dot in the sky a hundred meters away. Someone on the ship said sarcastically, "They've already shot one down, and they still dare to come."

As the man spoke, he held up a drone jammer in his hand.

Lin Mian stared blankly at the drone. The small black dot hovered on the sea surface for a few seconds before seemingly giving up and turning back.

The speedboat cut through the water and sped along, the sea breeze whistling. In a daze, Lin Mian seemed to hear gunshots.

She immediately turned her head and looked at the woods that were already very, very far away.

The distance was too great for her to distinguish whether the dangerous gunshots were just her hallucinations.

The ship Lin Mian was to board was a huge international cargo ship. The two people who took her on board said that the ship would take her directly back to China, and that she should say that she was rescued at sea and had lost all her documents.

Lin Mian, wrapped in a towel, listlessly climbed onto the cargo ship. When she looked up, she was surprised to see a familiar face: Mei Li.

She changed into a neat and simple tracksuit, her face was bare of makeup, her complexion was pale, and her beautiful eyes were red and swollen.

Meili's voice was also hoarse: "Let's go, I'll take you to your room."

Lin Mian followed her and asked, "Have you been crying?"

Mei sniffed, held it in for a second, then couldn't hold it in and said in a tearful voice, "My sister wants to send me away too."

Like Lin Mian, she was arranged to be sent away directly.

Mei Li was in an even worse situation than Lin Mian. She was tied up and forcibly put on the ship, and the ropes were not untied until the ship had gone a very, very long way.

Lin Mian felt a pang of sympathy for Mei Li, but didn't know how to comfort her.

The captain arranged for them to have a room at the stern of the ship, which was a converted office. It had two bunk beds, and all their daily necessities were provided. There was also a separate bathroom and toilet.

Lin Mian stood in the room, carrying only two things: a gun and a cell phone. The gun had been taken away, leaving only an unactivated cell phone.

Mei sat listlessly on one of the beds, her eyelids drooping sadly and dejected. She had cried enough, and now she couldn't shed any more tears.

Lin Mian stood there for a while before remembering that she should take a shower.

She dragged her feet, placed her switched-off phone on another bed, and after searching around for a while, finally spotted the suitcase fixed under the bed. It was the one Lin Mian had used twice before, and the clothes inside were from her wardrobe.

She grabbed a set at random, and as she pulled up the sleeve of the shirt, Lin Mian saw that there was a jewelry box hidden inside, about the size of her palm. When she opened it, ten rings were tightly packed inside.

It was the ten coins that He Duoye had given her before.

The gemstones and diamonds on the ring shone so brightly they were dazzling, making Lin Mian's eyes sting and feel like crying.

She angrily slammed the box shut, threw it back into the suitcase, and took her clothes to the bathroom.

The water on the boat was a bit cold, pouring down from the showerhead, onto the metal floor and walls, and onto Lin Mian's slender back.

She hugged her knees, squatted in the rushing water, and cried in a low voice.

When Lin Mian finished showering, her eyes were red and a little swollen. She came out with her hair still wet and sat down on the edge of the bed.

She should fix her dripping hair, but she's too tired to move.

A towel was then handed to Lin Mian. It was from Mei Li on the opposite bed. Seeing that Lin Mian was stunned and didn't take it, Mei Li unfolded the towel and started drying Lin Mian's hair without saying a word.

Lin Mian wasn't used to others helping her like this, so she took the towel herself.

After wiping herself haphazardly, she draped the towel over her shoulders.

Meili sat next to her, and the two of them stared blankly into silence.

After an unknown amount of time, Mei broke the silence: "What's the thing you most want to do after returning to China?"

If Lin Mian had been asked this question a few days ago, she would have had many things she wanted to do: enjoy a hot pot meal, stroll through the night market, eat her way from one end to the other, indulge in three cups of milk tea a day, and take He Duoye back to her uncle's house...

There are so many things she wants to do.

But now all of these things have suddenly lost their appeal.

Meili stared at her dazed face; her eyelashes were still wet, and her entire eyelids were tinged with a faint red from crying. Meili couldn't help but think that she was just like herself before.

Was she also afraid that something might happen to them?

"you……"

Just as Meili was about to speak, she heard Lin Mian say, "Let's get the documents replaced first. It'll probably be quite troublesome for me in this situation. Once the documents are replaced, then..."

Lin Mian thought for a moment and slowly said, "Go to the phone service center to get a new phone number, then contact the company. If I haven't been fired, I can go back to work. If I have, I'll have to find another job."

Meili stared at her blankly.

Lin Mian turned to her and asked, "And you, what do you want to do?"
