Chapter 39: A Passerby in a CEO Romance Novel (39)
In the waters off Morris Island, the helicopter that came to pick up people was shot at. After a sudden jolt, Shen Mubai, who was already eager to kill, was enraged and pressed the red button. A shell fell from the helicopter and exploded directly at the cruise ship below.
With a loud "boom," the cruise ship was destroyed on one side, and the helicopter fared no better; its rotor blades were scrambled by repeated fire and were no longer able to rotate smoothly.
The helicopter was flying erratically over the sea, and the people inside the cabin had already started putting on their life jackets.
If the helicopter had crashed before their own people arrived, they would have been stuck in the sea for a while.
"Miss, Mr. Gu's special assistant said they have already seen us."
After the calm and collected bodyguards from the You family finished their report, Zhang Ze's helicopter appeared in their field of vision.
The two helicopters slowly approached. Since the You family's helicopter was on the verge of being destroyed, the bodyguards flew close to the sea level. As Zhang approached, someone ran down a rope ladder.
After You Wenwen, Gu Yunting, and Shen Mubai climbed the rope ladder in turn, the You family bodyguards also pulled the rope ladder after an emergency stop, and successfully climbed into the cabin.
The helicopter, its rotor damaged, could not withstand the weight and crashed heavily into the seabed.
Looking at the deep and terrifying sea, Gu Yunting's brows furrowed in a cold expression. "Rong... Jing!"
After drugging them, they stole Leyan and arranged for people to shoot them. If it weren't for the fact that the You family's plane was the first to come to pick them up, and they had shells to retaliate, they probably would have all crashed into the sea before Zhang Ze arrived.
Ruthless and vicious.
He truly deserves to be called the Rong family's young heir who surpasses everyone else.
As soon as Shen Mubai boarded the plane, he took the computer from Zhang Ze and started typing away on the keyboard.
"Gu Yunting, go to Haicheng. They are in Haicheng now."
Fortunately, he was prepared and had attached a locator to Le Yan beforehand, otherwise she would have been lost without a trace.
Upon hearing Shen Mubai's words, Gu Yunting immediately signaled Zhang Ze to fly towards Haicheng.
He moved closer to Shen Mubai, his gaze fixed on the computer screen, and asked in a deep voice, "Can you attack the Rong Group's internal systems?"
"Yes, but it will take time."
As Shen Mubai answered, his hands continued to move.
The Rong Group's system firewall is very difficult to break. Even he only found a vulnerability after repeatedly trying to break through it without success.
At this point, by exploring this vulnerability, we can break into the other party's system, but it will take some time.
"Time doesn't matter, as long as it causes trouble for the Rong family."
By creating chaos within the Rong family and luring Rong Jing away, they would be more confident in finding Le Yan and taking her away.
Haicheng is not their territory after all. If they don't divert Rong Jing's attention, finding Le Yan will be as difficult as climbing to heaven.
Gu Yunting's face darkened, and he felt a sense of defeat.
It's laughable that he's three years older than Rong Jing, yet he's repeatedly defeated by him.
Rong Jing truly deserves to be called the heir who fought his way out from among the Rong family's offspring.
Even those who have had it all smooth sailing are still a bit lacking.

News of the attack on the group's internal systems quickly reached Rong Jing's ears. Knowing who was behind it, Rong Jing remained calm and composed.
He wasn't flustered at all, because he directly chose to bring Leyan to the Rong Group as well.
"Come on, let me show you around my company."
With just that one simple sentence, he brought Leyan to the Rong Group.
After glancing around with some curiosity and learning just how enormous the Rong family really was, Le Yan was amazed.
She simply couldn't imagine that the heir of such a powerful family would go to Jiangcheng alone at the age of 16 and live there like an ordinary person for eight years.
Wait... no!
Suddenly, Le Yan's intelligence kicked in. She looked at Rong Jing with a puzzled expression and asked, "You were in Jiangcheng before. When did you come back to Haicheng to take over the family business?"
Upon hearing this, Rong Jing's expression stiffened, and he stared at Le Yan somewhat awkwardly, unsure of how to respond.
Le Yan's intelligence was already on full display at this moment. Without him even having to answer, she guessed it: "Are you referring to the two years you spent studying abroad?"
"They said they went abroad, but in reality they returned to Haicheng."
"They say they're here for further studies, but in reality, they're here to inherit the family business."
Le Yan crossed her arms, convinced that she had guessed correctly.
She observed Rong Jing's reaction and, seeing that he didn't speak, knew that her guess was indeed correct.
Rong Jing looked at Le Yan with some remorse, "I'm sorry, I lied to you."
But he couldn't tell Leyan the truth at the time.
After all, the Rong family is not peaceful, and his position as heir must be fought for, unlike those scions of aristocratic families in Jiangcheng who have a smooth journey and can rise to the top without lifting a finger.
Rong Jing lowered his gaze, concealing the turbulent emotions within, before looking at Le Yan again with a gentle smile, "I've lied to you for two years, now it's time for me to make it up to you."
Deceive for two years, then make up for it for a lifetime—that makes sense, right?
Le Yan pondered for a moment, then shook her head: "There's no need. You're keeping it from me, perhaps for my own good."
Anyone who has read the novel knows that there are many things going on in a large family. Rong Jing has never harmed her; he just didn't tell her some things, so it can't be considered deception.
Moreover, given her mindset at the time, if you really told her the truth, she might even suspect that Rong Jing had lost his mind.
After all, what kind of scion of the richest family in Haicheng would live in such a dilapidated old neighborhood!
Not to mention that when she was in high school, she met Rong Jing because he worked part-time at a bubble tea shop.
Who would believe that the son of Haicheng's richest family would be working part-time at a milk tea shop!
Anyway, Le Yan knew very well that she would never have believed such a thing back then.
Even now, if she hadn't experienced so many strange things, she wouldn't believe it.
Thinking of this, Le Yan subconsciously grabbed Rong Jing's hand, paused, and asked, "Why did you take a part-time job back then?"
Yes, if your family is so rich, why would you need to do part-time work?
Rong Jing chuckled self-deprecatingly, concealing his painful past, and simply replied to Le Yan in a gentle voice, "Perhaps, it was all for the sake of meeting you."
