Never Abandoned You

Upon seeing Su Ci, Father Su was utterly shocked, disbelievingly saying, "How are you here? You're supposed to be..."

Su Ci spoke calmly, "I should be locked in a small room, right?"

Seeing the room's occupants, Gu Dai and Su Ting, Father Su angrily accused, "Have you been making a fool out of me all this time?"

After taking a deep breath, he turned to Su Ci with a cold query, "How did you get out? The video clearly showed you being captured. How did you escape?"

Su Ci turned to Su Ting and softly thanked him, "Thank you, Su Ting."

Su Ting chuckled and shook his head, "It's what I should do."

Gu Dai, observing this interaction, was somewhat puzzled and turned to Su Ting to ask, "What happened here?"

Su Ting explained, "I was uneasy leaving the island and had heard about several suspicious figures in black. I suspected they might be after my brother, so I had my men protect him."
