At the exit area of the VIP passage, several men in black suits were waiting solemnly. The leader was a middle-aged man with the most serious expression.
As soon as the gate opened, the tall bodies of two men suddenly appeared and walked out quickly.
Tang Xuyao and Shao Heng walked side by side. They were both wearing single-color handmade windbreakers. They were a little dusty after the long journey, but what they showed in their eyes was not exhaustion, but depression.
He glanced up, and when his eyes touched the group of people, his steps hesitated slightly, but he didn't stop.
"Master Tang!" The middle-aged man at the head led a group of people to salute respectfully, bending down and bowing at a standard ninety degrees, showing absolute loyalty.
Tang Xuyao pursed his lips tightly and narrowed his eyes slightly, with a hint of coldness in his eyes.
Shao Heng looked at him sideways and coughed suggestively.
The visitors were all from the Tang family, and the leader was Mr. Tang's personal bodyguard. Their purpose of coming was obvious, they were to "invite" Tang Xuyao to return to his country.
Tang Xuyao looked at his watch and said coldly, "I will deal with Master Chen's matter first. I will get on the plane in 12 hours without your invitation!"
After saying that, he lifted his legs and left.
The middle-aged man followed soon after.
The group of people walked out of the airport hall. All black cars were waiting outside, and even the driver was uniformly dressed.
All the car doors had been opened in advance. Tang Xuyao made a look and asked Shao Heng to ride in the front car with him, while the others silently got into the car behind.
"Go to Auckland Harbor!" Tang Xuyao ordered the driver.
Without missing a second, the engine was started and their car started off first, followed by the vehicles behind it.
The car moved forward quickly, leaving the scenery on both sides of the road behind one by one. Outside the car window, the weather was a bit gloomy, just like people's mood.

At a quarter past three, the car arrived at its destination.
The Auckland Harbor Bridge connects the north and south banks of Waitimata Harbor. The Harbor Bridge and the ten thousand masts moored at the Auckland Boat Club form a spectacular and beautiful picture, but today's magnificence makes it seem a bit blurry.
The car stopped two hundred meters ahead. Before the driver came down to open the door, Tang Xuyao and Shao Heng couldn't help but get out of the car anxiously. In the distance, they saw the bleak figures of Tang Jia Ningyi and her husband.
The couple suddenly seemed to have aged ten years, staring stiffly at the yacht belonging to Chen Yi without blinking.
It was as if if they kept looking like that, their son would come back.
But, that's impossible.
Tang Xuyao walked straight over and said in a deep voice, "Aunt, uncle..."
Tang Jianing and his wife turned their heads with sadness on their faces, and just nodded, because they were already too sad to speak.
"Aunt, uncle... just leave this to me and Shao Heng... it will be inconvenient for you to do a lot of things here." No one could bear to see the white-haired man giving the black-haired man a favor.
However, Tang Jianing shook his head stubbornly, grabbed her husband's arm, pinched the wrinkles out of the suit jacket, and said with a choked voice, "Chen Yi left nothing behind. This yacht was his last place to stay... I
Now I can only look at it...Xu Yao, help my aunt keep it..."
Tang Xuyao turned around and looked over. The surrounding area of the yacht had been guarded by the police. After all, the body could not be found. They only found traces of a slip by the railing. However, the police had sufficient reasons to suspect murder or something else. This yacht was very likely
It will be sealed.
"Aunt, don't worry, I will take care of it!" Tang Xuyao promised. No matter what the cost, the pure land where Chen Yi stayed at the end must be preserved intact!
Shao Heng has already walked towards the police personnel to negotiate with understanding. Of course, it will take some effort, but it doesn't matter. Let's talk first and then find someone. In the United States, as long as you have money and connections, basically everything can be done.
There won't be much of a problem.
Four hours later, things made progress. Tang Jianing and others were allowed to board the yacht, followed closely by Tang Xuyao and Shao Heng.
As far as he could see, everything was the same as before. Tang Xuyao sat down in the same position as when he came last time. Suddenly, a touch of sadness hit his heart.
Although he and Chen Yi are just cousins and have basically no similarities in personality, it is undeniable that they still have a good relationship, have the same taste, and even like the same person.
Ah……
For some reason, Tang Xuyao suddenly felt dumbfounded.
The fate between people is so strange.
I flipped through the book on the small coffee table and suddenly saw a passage——
I love you, not only because of what you look like, but also because of how I look when I am with you; I love you, not only because of what you do for me, but also because of what I can do for you; I love you,
Because you can call out the truest part of me, and the most beautiful place in my heart is illuminated by your light. - From "Love" by Roy Clift.
Tang Xuyao suddenly understood why Chen Yi put his relationship with Alocasia so deeply in just a few months. This must be the reason.
If emotions and years can be gently torn into pieces and thrown into the sea, then I am willing to remain silent at the bottom of the sea from now on.
Perhaps, this is the ending Chen Yi wants, relief and freedom.
So... what will be his ending... when will he be free... when will he be free...
Looking at the bodyguards from the Tang family, Tang Xuyao pursed his lips and looked coldly.

Twelve hours later, Tang Xuyao boarded a direct flight back to China from San Francisco.
The continuous long-distance flight made him a little tired, the jet lag had not been adjusted at all, his head hurt, and his stomach felt a little uncomfortable, but he still refused to sleep because he would have to fight a tough battle when he returned and he had to be prepared in advance!
The stewardess brought the coffee, "Sir, would you like some sugar?!"
Tang Xuyao nodded, "One, thank you."
When he picked up the coffee cup, he didn't stir it, and the cube of sugar didn't melt at all.
I raised my head and took a sip. Sure enough, it was still bitter.
The bitterness and sweetness of coffee actually depend on how you stir it; and a pain depends not on how you forget it, but on whether you have the courage to start over.
