Chapter 3532: Let's Follow Your Plan
Sun Mengmeng is the most capable aide since Xiao Churan's company was founded.
Seeing Sun Mengmeng here, the pure Xiao Churan didn't think much of it.
She even thought this might just be a coincidence.
Unexpectedly, Sun Mengmeng came before her and said respectfully: "Ms. Xiao, I am here waiting for you under the orders of Butler Tang, and I will escort you back to Tang Chen Yi Pin later tonight; I will also accompany you and your parents."
Xiao Churan stared at her in shock, full of questions, but for a moment didn't know where to begin.
Sun Mengmeng reached out to take her suitcase and backpack, somewhat apologetically saying: "Sorry, Ms. Xiao, due to special reasons, I couldn't reveal my identity earlier; I am Butler Tang's subordinate, here to protect your safety."
Xiao Churan came to her senses, suddenly let out a bitter laugh, and said awkwardly: "I thought you were here to spy on me, right? My studio just opened and you appeared; many quit due to pressure, but you never complained, so I thought I finally found a reliable aide—little did I know there was another motive..."
Sun Mengmeng, however, was candid, smiling: "Ms. Xiao, I concealed the truth first; I understand your prejudice against me, I cannot excuse my concealment and deceit, but I can tell you that although I am not a soldier, I have undergone the strictest military-style education and management since childhood, so like soldiers, I regard obeying orders as my duty; the order is to stay by your side, and I must follow it."
Xiao Churan asked her: "If the order told you to kill me, would you do it without hesitation?"
Sun Mengmeng did not answer her pressing question, but replied frankly: "If the order told me to die for you, I would do so without hesitation!"
Xiao Churan didn't expect Sun Mengmeng to give her such an answer.
At that moment, her displeasure and feeling of being deceived instantly vanished.
She understood and accepted Sun Mengmeng; Sun Mengmeng has her own position and stance, she is fulfilling her duty, and here with her, there is naturally no right or wrong.
And her answer was also quite clever: if the order told her to die for herself, she would not hesitate—implying that if ordered to kill herself, she would do the same; for her, killing and dying for someone are no different as long as it's an order.
Thus, she couldn't help but sigh: "You're only in your twenties—how can you be so loyal to them? You're so young, shouldn't you be seeking your own life's meaning?"
Sun Mengmeng smiled and said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Ms. Xiao, my life was given by them; without them, I and my mother would have died long ago; they gave me military-style education from childhood, not to make me repay them in the future, but to enable me to slaughter my enemies—I have done so, and they have not restricted my freedom; I chose to stay and serve them willingly, not only because they treated me with kindness as heavy as a mountain, but also because they are truly good people."
Xiao Churan nodded dazedly and sighed softly: "Well, having you accompany us counts as having a familiar face looking out for us—where is your car parked? Let's go."
Sun Mengmeng smiled and said: "Ms. Xiao, don't hide it from you—I am to accompany you out of Huaxia this time; once there, I and my true colleagues will together take care of you and your family's daily life; for a long time to come, we may all live together."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Churan's heart leapt with joy, but soon sank again as she whispered: "Was it them who had you stay to monitor us? Are they afraid I might lose control and actively contact Ye Chen?"
Sun Mengmeng said: "Ms. Xiao, don't hide it from you—given the crisis the young master faces, even if you completely leave him, it may not be safe; in such critical times, surveillance and protection are essentially the same."
"I understand." Xiao Churan lightly nodded.
Then, Sun Mengmeng led her to the parking lot, where a black business vehicle was already parked.
Sun Mengmeng put the luggage in the trunk, opened the side sliding door for Xiao Churan to board first, then herself took the driver's seat.
Starting the car, Sun Mengmeng said to Xiao Churan: "Ms. Xiao, we tentatively set departure for nine tonight; you and your family need not bring too much—only personal luggage; if you need to bring anything else, just take a photo and send it to me, and I will arrange personnel to come tonight to pack and load the vehicle; items may arrive a day later than you."
Xiao Churan was surprised by the other's professionalism, but after thinking it over, she also felt relieved.
Thus, she asked: "Are we leaving by water route?"
"Yes." Sun Mengmeng said: "The cargo ship is docked at Island City Port; we will arrive in the early hours and board directly."
Xiao Churan said anxiously: "If we take a cargo ship, how am I to communicate with my parents? I haven't told them yet; I planned to say after returning that we're taking them out to play for a few days."
Sun Mengmeng smiled: "Rest assured, our business vehicle has a liftable partition in the middle; tonight, after you let your parents board, you sit in the front passenger seat, and let your parents sit in the rear cabin; when the partition rises, the rear cabin will release colorless, odorless, harmless anesthetic gas, which will make them sleep deeply for a long time; then our vehicle will drive directly into the cargo ship, where there are very good rooms; when they wake up, we will already be in international waters, and you can then honestly explain everything to them—I believe they will understand."
Xiao Churan exclaimed in surprise: "This……this is so simple and brutal?"
"Yes." Sun Mengmeng said: "This is the best method; otherwise, if they realize something is wrong midway, or notice abnormalities when boarding, explaining will be very troublesome; if they secretly contact the young master, the whole plan might fail."
"I understand." Xiao Churan, though simple-minded, still has the big picture.
Under extreme circumstances, extreme measures—given my parents' personalities, if they sensed something off, they would certainly have their own thoughts.
Father clings to his foundation in the calligraphy and painting association and the vanity of coming and going in a Cullinan; Mother clings to the Tang Chen Yi Pin mansion, and even more to Ye Chen such a golden turtle son-in-law.
For Ye Chen's sake, no matter what, we cannot let them cause trouble; the best method is what Sun Mengmeng said—directly let them board the vehicle and fall asleep, sleeping all the way to international waters.
My parents' phones lack satellite communication; once on the high seas, even if they wanted to secretly contact Ye Chen, it would be impossible.
Upon this thought, she said to Sun Mengmeng: "Make sure the anesthetic poses no danger to their bodies?"
"Of course!"
Sun Mengmeng said frankly: "No harm at all—it will only let them experience an unprecedented deep sleep; and rest assured, we have a fifteen-member medical and healthcare team already on board, carrying the most advanced medical equipment, traveling with us; afterward, this team will exclusively serve you and your family."
Xiao Chuan blurted: "This is too much of a fuss—we don't need such trouble; just give us a normal living environment."
Sun Mengmeng said seriously: "Ms. Xiao, or should I call you Lady Ye? You are the young master's wife; we secretly took you and your family away from him, which is already a great betrayal; if we don't take good care of you and your family, how will we face the young master in the future? Moreover, we are not forever preventing you and the young master from meeting; once he completes his revenge plan, everything will be made clear to him, and we will no longer restrict your contact or meetings with him; if during this time we fall short in caring for you and your family, the young master will certainly blame us."
Saying this, Sun Mengmeng added: "Everything for you and your family over there has already been arranged—servants, gardeners, bodyguards, doctors, car drivers, yacht captains, helicopter pilots, even golf, tennis, diving, and yoga instructors, etc. —all are full-time standard staff, and moreover, they are people we have trained for years; after you and your family arrive, you need not worry about food, clothing, housing, transportation, entertainment, or health."
Xiao Chuan blurted: "This……this is too wasteful! Money spent here and there, all of it Ye Chen's money—I……I really can't bear it..."
Sun Mengmeng smiled: "Lady, rest assured—this amount of money for the young master is merely nine cows' hair; put it this way: the money the young master earns in one day is enough for you and your family to live at the highest standard for a lifetime."
Xiao Chuan gasped in disbelief.
But Sun Mengmeng was not joking.
In fact, she was even somewhat conservative.
The young master's money-making ability cannot be measured by conventional business thinking.
She deliberately said frankly to Xiao Chuan: "Lady, actually the young master is not just the heir of the Ye family, nor merely the external grandson of the An family—Isu Shipping, such a huge shipping company, he is its biggest boss; you may not know, but when shipping is most profitable, a single container ship's freight for one voyage can reach hundreds of millions of US dollars, and Isu Shipping has over a hundred vessels under its flag."
Xiao Chuan exclaimed in shock: "One ship, one voyage's freight is hundreds of millions of US dollars? This……is too exaggerated, right?"
Sun Mengmeng smiled: "Saying this sounds too exaggerated, but you may not know—recently, shipping fees surged, the freight for one container from East Asia to the US directly rose to twenty thousand US dollars, and Isu Shipping's largest container ship, when fully loaded, carries twenty-four thousand containers—meaning this container ship sailing from Huaxia to the US earns over four hundred million US dollars in freight, and it's in US dollars; even if it were a money-printing machine, running until it smokes printing money couldn't match this speed."
Sun Mengmeng said nothing else.
She knew that even so, Isu Shipping's profitability still doesn't match Ye Chen holding a Revival Pill auction.
And the living expenses for Xiao Chuan's family of three in Tahiti, even at most, would not spend fifty million US dollars in a year—so this truly is nine cows' hair.
And she told Xiao Chuan about Isu Shipping precisely hoping she would abandon in her heart the idea of seeing Ye Chen again; everyone under An Chengxi knows that An Chengxi hopes Xiao Chuan can live a life of no worries in Tahiti forever, and not turn back to see Ye Chen.
At this moment, Xiao Chuan's expression also showed some wistfulness; she increasingly realized the gap between her and Ye Chen, vast beyond imagination.
After a moment of silence, she said: "Just follow your plan."
