Priceless Baby: 101 Bedside Stories

“Go and tell Bruce that either he kills me and waits for my brother’s revenge, or take the money, exchange hostages, and let me return home in one complete piece. It’s true that I’m under your control now. However, as long as I’m alive, if I, Ye Tingyun, desire to find someone, then time is the only problem.”

Ye Chu smiled with a tinge of mockery. “You are very generous.”

“Yes, I’m someone who’s easy to negotiate with.”

After listening to Ye Chu’s recount, Bruce sneered. “The Second Master of the Ye Family has always been a cunning old fox. Don’t trust even a single punctuation in his words. The styles of the two brothers are very different. Ye Ling does not go against his words. Everything he says is the truth. He exerts pressure with his absolute capabilities and does not bother to lie. On the other hand, Ye Tingyun is an old fox. His words change depending on the people he talks to. I’m already showing him face by allowing him to breathe.”

Ye Chu bit onto an apple. “I think that he’s not wrong. If his injuries were not treated, then he will indeed become disabled. His entire leg will be useless. If there are any further delays, his limbs will have to be amputated. If I’m Ye Tingyun, it would be an easy task to let bygones be bygones, as long as you be kind and let him go home in one piece. You didn’t intend to kill him anyway, so why let him become a disabled person?”

“Ah Chu, you really care about Ye Tingyun.” Bruce looked at her with a cold smile.

Ye Chu said, “I’m thinking on behalf of the people on this boat. If you don’t intend to kill him, then don’t seek your own death. Achieve your goal and then embark on separate paths. Otherwise, order me to kill Ye Tingyun. If my eyebrows even furrow, then I’m not called Ye Chu!”

Bruce said, “You…”

He was extremely angry, but there was nothing he could do. Ye Chu said, “You are the captain. Decide for yourself.”

She left dashingly. Ye Tingyun finally got a chance to communicate with Bruce face-to-face. Bruce also finally agreed to permit Ye Tingyun to leave the boat and seek treatment at the island’s hospital.

This storm had caused many people on the boat to suffer from injuries of varying degrees. They all needed medical treatment. In addition, they needed to repair the ship. There were not a lot of technicians on the island, and the boat was overly big. The repair could not be completed within one or two days. Taking this opportunity, the crew could also relax onshore and spend some time away from the ocean.

Ye Chu kept an eye on Ye Tingyun.

If they went half a day later, Ye Tingyun’s leg would not be saved. Luckily, he was sent here in time. Although the medical equipment on the island was not fantastic, treating his wound was not a problem.

The nurses on the island were pretty and had good figures. When they treated Ye Tingyun, they shaved his beard as well, revealing an exhausted yet handsome face.

Ye Chu said, “You are quite good-looking.”

Ye Tingyun said, “My brother’s better-looking.”

“Bruce said that even a single punctuation of your words cannot be trusted. Do you lie regularly?” asked Ye Chu.

Ye Tingyun said, “I never lie.”

He paused. He noticed something. This violent little Loli was actually very naive. She viewed problems in a straight line, never beating around the bush. In his opinion, it was a miracle for such a person to exist.

“You never left the ocean?”

“Never,” said Ye Chu. “As far as I remember, I have always been at sea. I only go onshore to replenish supplies, at most for one or two days.”

Ye Tingyun smiled slightly and looked towards the window. As expected, only someone who had always been at sea and did not interact with people would be so naive. “Bruce was right.”

“What?”

Ye Tingyun thought silently, Don’t even trust a single punctuation of what I say!
