Chapter 407: Chapter 407 Su Tongxin found out

“Sports car?”

Upon hearing their conversation, she looked to the direction of the car immediately.

She saw a sports car racing towards the harbor.

Su Tongxin’s heart pounded frantically.

Chen Hao? Is it Chen Hao?

Su Tongxin took a step forward.

The car stopped in front of her.

A young man clutching a bouquet of flowers walked out from the car.

The romantic scene made the crowd gush with envy.

“Sorry Lili, I’m late!”

The young man took down his sunglasses and smiled.

“Oh darling, don’t be sorry. You rushed here from faraway to send me off, I am more than happy for that!”

Yang Huali skipped and danced toward the man.

Walking past Su Tongxin, she sneered, “This is my boyfriend, what are you doing standing here? You thought it was your rich boyfriend?”

Yang Huali’s vanity was satiated.

She initially thought the spotlight would be on Su Tongxin. After all, her boyfriend’s background was too powerful.

But it was exactly what she assumed—people like Young Master Chen were way out of league for Su Tongxin.

In the end, he didn’t bother to come. It was all Su Tongxin's wishful thinking.

Even though Yang Huali lost to Su Tongxin in her career, her relationship was better than hers. Of course she would gloat.

“Which rich man are you talking about?”

Yang Huali’s boyfriend held her hand and asked.

“Ha! Someone has an incredibly rich boyfriend, and claimed that he is willing to come and send her off but he didn’t even turn up!”

Yang Huali purposely raised her voice.

Su Tongxin almost burst into tears.

It was not because of Yang Huali’s jibes. Instead, it was because Chen Hao didn’t pick up the phone and forgot the promise that he made last night.

Is it possible that he doesn’t love me anymore?

Various thoughts raced in Su Tongxin’s mind at this moment.

“Hand in your phones. For the crew members involved, verify your identity and board the ship!” At this time, a member from the expedition team announced.

Su Tongxin and her team boarded the ship.

When the ship set sail, Su Tongxin was hoping that a miracle would happen.

Chen Hao will appear at the last second. He promised me that he will come. He had never lied to me.

As the shore became further away from her sight and vanished into the horizon, Su Tongxin could not hold back her tears anymore.

At the harbor, the crowd was starting to disperse.

Just then, another sports car raced toward the harbor.

The value of the sports car attracted everyone’s attention.

A young master and an elderly man walked down from the car.

But there was no trace of the cruise ship anymore.

Damn!

Chen Hao punched the car angrily. He was late.

On the way there, Chen Hao tried to call Su Tongxin, but her phone was switched off. He would have met her if he had reached earlier.

Most importantly, he failed to keep his promises.

Just this morning, when Chen Hao opened his eyes, he saw Zhao Yifan laying on top of him.

Chen Hao knew that he was being framed. He scolded Zhao Yifan and rushed to the harbor immediately.

Fu also waited for him the entire night.

Chen Hao was guilt-stricken.

If it weren’t for his sympathetic nature, he wouldn’t have fallen for Zhao Yifan’s schemes.

Chen Hao could imagine Su Tongxin’s disappointed and anticipating expression before boarding the ship. His heart ached the more he thought of her.

He finally sat down angrily at the harbor.

He had no other choice apart from waiting for Su Tongxin to be back after a few days, and he would explain everything to her.

……

A day passed by quickly. The cruise ship reached the deep sea at night.

It was a tranquil night. They could hear the wind blowing outside.

“Tongxin, don’t brood on what happened during the day anymore. It’s been a tiring day. Come eat something!”

Su Mengmeng took some food for her. Su Tongxin had been very down for the entire day.

“Okay.”

Su Tongxin nodded.

“It’s so boring here! Why did the team confiscate our phones?”

Su Mengmeng seemed to have lost her soul without her phone around.

“Needless to say, I’m sure they want to prevent the disclosure of confidential data of the expedition.

They are so strict—they even took my watch away!” Wu Wenwen said.

“By the way, they claimed that they are here to examine the quality of the ocean, but that didn’t seem to be the case. They looked ruthless and cold, like soldiers,” Su Mengmeng analyzed, trying to distract Su Tongxin.

“Why did you say so?” Wu Wenwen asked, surprised.

“My brother is from the army, so I can tell. If it's just examining the quality of the ocean, they wouldn’t need so many strict procedures. Guess what I saw just now when I went to their meeting room to move some stuff?” Su Mengmeng lowered her voice and said.

“What?” Su Tongxin and Wu Wenwen raised their heads and asked.

It was true that they noticed the expedition team being mysterious today. They spent a whole afternoon researching something anxiously.

“I saw a building plan that they were using during the meeting. You reckon they are here to find some hidden castles under the sea?” Su Mengmeng laughed.

Su Tongxin and Wu Wenwen looked at each other, speechless. It was getting more eerie as Su Mengmeng elaborated.

“Are you serious?”

“Of course it’s true, I am not joking! They even warned me sternly after that. I was shocked so I left immediately. ” Su Mengmeng stuck her tongue out.

“Well it’s none of our business anyway. Let’s just carry out our work responsibly!” Su Tongxin said wryly.

Wu Wenwen and Su Mengmeng nodded.

There were sudden footsteps approaching their room, followed by several knocks on the door.

They opened the door and saw Yang Huali crossing her arms in front of them.

“What are you doing here?” Su Mengmeng asked.

“I am just here to inform you that Professor Shen is starting a meeting soon!” Yang Huali announced indignantly.

Su Mengmeng smiled complacently. “Sure, tell him we will be right there.”

Yang Huali rolled her eyes and left.

Professor Shen was the leader of the expedition team.

In his seventies, he found some sponsors and formed this team. He was an experienced and strict academia.

Su Tongxin respected him as he was very knowledgeable.

Soon, everyone gathered in the meeting room.

Including Su Tongxin and her team, there were a total of 32 members in the room.

Nothing important was discussed. They merely emphasized on some issues to take note during this expedition.

However, halfway through the meeting, Professor Shen suddenly coughed vigorously while scratching his neck.

As Su Tongxin was sitting next to Professor Shen, she shot a glance at the back of his neck nonchalantly.

And she froze at what she saw.
