Billionaire's Long Journey of Chasing His Love-Chapter 746 - 625: You two look so alike! (Second update)
Haotian Emperor hesitated briefly but ultimately nodded in agreement.
After they made their arrangements, Haotian Queen prepared to leave. She had to say goodbye to Tong Yao first.
Everyone had already heard from Tong Airui that Danton had been found. By this time, the hall was already buzzing with excitement.
Tong Yao wanted to accompany them, but Haotian Queen gently turned her down. She still had two pregnant women to attend to here.
Eventually, Long Che, Mi Xiaotian, Raindrop, Tong Aino, Jimo Shanshan, and their family boarded the plane.
Before the plane took off, Tong Airui made a phone call to Mai Zekai, but it was Ruan Hanmo who answered, saying the surgery had already begun.
Everyone’s expressions immediately grew solemn, but fortunately, the two children helped lighten the mood, and they finally made it to Crescent Island.
Ruan Honglang and Shui Hui personally went to the airport to welcome them.
Ruan Honglang spoke with a face full of guilt, "I had no idea the two children rescued were Haotian Prince. I almost threw him into the sea!"
Long Che patted his shoulder and laughed, "Luckily, you didn’t throw Danton into the ocean."
Haotian Emperor and Haotian Queen expressed their heartfelt gratitude. No matter what happens to their son in the future, the fact remained that people from Crescent Island had saved him.
The car soon arrived at the hospital, and everyone hurriedly rushed into the elevator. Tong Airui, worrying about his wife who had just completed a long plane ride, felt distressed since she hadn’t had a chance to rest before coming straight to the hospital.
Yi Luowa noticed his concern and smiled as she shook her head. After hearing the news that her brother was still alive, her joy had overshadowed her exhaustion.
Ruan Hanmo, waiting outside the operating room, saw them arrive and strode over to meet them.
"Is there any news from inside?" Ruan Honglang asked.
"No," Ruan Hanmo shook his head.
"No news is good news! Where’s your sister? We have guests, and she hasn’t bothered to come and meet them," Ruan Honglang said irritably as he glanced around.
"Dad, don’t bother looking for her. She’s so nervous that she had a stomach cramp. I asked a doctor to administer a calming injection, so she’s resting for now."
Haotian Queen, upon hearing this, cast a puzzled glance at her daughter, Yi Luowa, who smiled knowingly. A young girl who gets this nervous over her brother—it hardly needs explaining!
Ruan Honglang sighed and began introducing everyone to his son one by one. Ruan Hanmo couldn’t help but secretly gasp. These were all major figures comparable to Uncle Ziye. For them to come to Crescent Island—it truly elevated the island’s status.
After Ruan Hanmo greeted everyone, Tong Airui said solemnly, "Hanmo, can you tell us what happened at the time?"
"Sure." Ruan Hanmo led everyone into a VIP hospital room. Once they were seated, he began recounting the events.
"That day, our ship had just entered the Western Ocean when it was attacked by a pirate ship. These pirates were unlike ordinary ones; their weapons were more advanced than regular military-grade equipment. Thankfully, we were carrying superior weapons as well. After fighting hard for more than two hours, we managed to defeat them. When we boarded the pirate ship to search for survivors, gunshots rang out from below the deck.
I, along with An Yang and our team, went to investigate. There, we found two people lying in pools of blood. One of them was Prince Danton; the other had just shot him before committing suicide. To be honest, I initially thought it was an internal conflict among the pirates and had mistaken Prince Danton for one of them. If not for An Yang insisting we save him, Prince Danton might have sunk into the ocean along with that ship."
After his account, everyone exhaled in relief. Thank goodness, thank goodness!
Haotian Queen tightly clasped Ruan Hanmo’s hand, "You and your sister are Danton’s saviors, which also makes you heroes to our family. Thank you so much."
"Haotian Queen, hearing you say that makes me feel ashamed—it wasn’t me, it was my sister who insisted..."
"Wah wah... Ruan Frog, where the hell were you? You dared to give me an injection to make me sleep! Wah wah... When is Handsome Brother coming out of surgery?!"
"Second Miss, we have distinguished guests..."
The crying outside ceased abruptly. Moments later, Ruan An Yang’s voice could be heard, "Are all these attendants brought by them? If they’re not with them, send them away from the operating room. Don’t scare my Handsome Brother!"
"Go check on her," Ruan Honglang signaled his son.
Ruan Hanmo quickly stepped out of the room.
Yi Luowa stood up, "Mr. Ruan, please let Miss Ruan come in. We’d all like to thank her personally."
Ruan Hanmo turned back and smiled, "No thanks needed. I’ll bring her in so she can meet everyone."
After her son left, Shui Hui gave an apologetic smile, "An Yang is still a child. I’ve spoiled her too much, so she lacks decorum. If she acts improperly, I ask for your forgiveness."
Long Che chuckled, "She’s your daughter in your later years; naturally, it’s normal to pamper her. From her voice, she seems to have a strong sense of justice."
Ruan Honglang gave a bitter laugh, "A sense of justice? More like a bandit’s temperament!"
Long Che laughed, "That also takes after you!"
Ruan Honglang, rendered speechless for a moment, finally retorted, "No wonder you get along so well with that rascal Leng Ziye. You both are equally annoying with your words!"
"Haha..." Long Che laughed and turned to Shui Hui, "Old Ruan must’ve suffered under Ziye again, huh?"
Shui Hui pursed her lips, "Every time he visits the imperial capital, he’s sent packing back home embarrassed. But he still goes anyway—it’s shameless."
"Haha..." Long Che laughed joyfully, "That Ziye, his mind is as small as a needle’s eye. Next time, I’ll talk to him on your behalf."
"Don’t bother, no need to say anything. Someone naturally deals with him!" Ruan Honglang laughed, "Piss me off once, and Crescent Moon keeps him out of the bedroom for ten days—haha..."
"You sure are ruthless!"
As the two chatted and laughed, Ruan An Yang followed her brother into the room. She blinked her big dark eyes at everyone before breaking free of her brother’s hand and attempting to run.
"An Yang, don’t be rude!" Shui Hui scolded sharply.
An Yang pursed her lips, "I wasn’t trying to run. I just noticed that you haven’t served tea to the guests yet—I’ll go prepare some."
"Go inside. I’ll take care of it," Ruan Hanmo said, dragging her into the room.
Ruan An Yang nervously rubbed her hands together, unsure of where to look. Suddenly, she bowed deeply to everyone, "Hello, everyone!"
"Hee hee... Hello, older sister." An Yang didn’t even check who she was addressing, and her bow happened to be aimed at Sanyu, who giggled, slid off her grandfather’s lap, and ran over to Ruan An Yang, "Pretty sister."
Ruan An Yang’s cheeks turned bright red as she looked at Sanyu, "Hee hee... Is sister prettier, or are you prettier?"
"...We’re equally pretty!" Sanyu grabbed Ruan An Yang’s hand, "Stand straight!"
Ruan An Yang laughed and asked, "Why?"
"Mama says we should thank you," Sanyu cheerfully looked to her mom, "Mama~"
Yi Luowa smiled and stood up, giving Ruan An Yang a formal bow, "An Yang, thank you for saving my brother."
Ruan An Yang quickly dodged to the side, "No, no, I didn’t do anything."
Sanyu glanced at her brother as Ziyan ran over, pulling his sister’s hand and turning toward Ruan An Yang, "Thank you, sister!"
"Ah, you little ones, why are you thanking me? No need for that!"
Ziyan looked up at Ruan An Yang and laughed, "Hee hee, then can we play together?"
"Sure! What do you want to play? I have guns, cannons, and even a boat that can fire torpedoes,"
"An Yang!" Shui Hui scolded, "Stop talking about such things with children. Go and greet Uncle Long Che, Haotian Emperor, and Haotian Queen."
"Oh..." Ruan An Yang sneaked a glance at Haotian Queen before quickly looking over at Yi Luowa, then toward Sanyu, "You all look so alike!"
Apparently, she had been so nervous she hadn’t even noticed what anyone looked like until now.
"Luowa, the surgical light has turned off!" Kou’er shouted from outside the room.
