Chapter 128: Let Go of That Girl!

This morning, after Wang Jianqiang entered the water, he didn't swim to the deep area to dive and fish as usual. Instead, he quietly kept an eye on the old man's secretary, Su Wan.

Since the three foreigners who sneaked into the camp at night to abduct people were killed by Chen Mo, the survivors, now free from threats, spread out along the beach to find more food. Each person was responsible for a section, rather than moving together in groups, which was highly inefficient.

This division of labor allowed each person to find much more food than before, but it also made Wang Jianqiang's actions much easier.

He swam in the sea, quietly following Su Wan to a shallow area scattered with many rocks. When he found that she was completely out of sight of the others, an excited look appeared on his face as he eagerly swam towards the shore.

When he stood up in the shallow water, Su Wan, not far away, still hadn't noticed his arrival. She was focused, half-squatting in the knee-deep water, searching for food under the rocks.

After surviving on the deserted island for over a month, Su Wan's appearance was no longer as glamorous as before.

The elegant and fashionable image of a career woman was completely gone.

The knee-length pencil skirt was inconvenient for movement. At this moment, Su Wan didn't care about her appearance anymore. To facilitate her activities, she had already torn the hem, and the extensive daily search for food had further enlarged the tear. Now, the slit in her skirt reached up to her thigh.

As she half-squatted in the knee-deep water, her entire smooth and slender leg was almost completely exposed. The torn skirt hem floated in the water, swaying with the waves and occasionally revealing more of what lay beneath.

After more than a month of living outdoors, Su Wan's skin was no longer as fair as before. Under prolonged exposure to sunlight, it had turned a healthy wheat color, yet still evoked endless imagination.

Su Wan's white shirt was also wet from the splashing waves as she leaned forward and busily worked.

The wet parts clung tightly to Su Wan's body, perfectly outlining her graceful figure. Her beautiful face, accentuated by her focused expression, appeared even more charming. Her long hair hung beside her slender neck, swaying like waves in the sea breeze, making her look like a daughter of the sea—romantic, elegant, and captivating.

Focused on collecting food, Su Wan was unaware of her captivating appearance at that moment. She also didn't know that Wang Jianqiang, who should have been hunting in the sea, had quietly approached behind her.

Seeing Su Wan's beautiful and graceful figure ahead, Wang Jianqiang's desire burned like flames. His eyes turned red, and he could no longer hide his intentions. He stepped through the water eagerly towards Su Wan.

Not far away, Su Wan heard the sudden sound of water behind her. She turned her head in confusion and finally saw Wang Jianqiang quickly approaching.

The puzzled expression on Su Wan's face quickly disappeared as she realized something was wrong.

First of all, Wang Jianqiang should be fishing in the sea at this time, not here. Even if he caught something, he should return to the camp, not come to her.

Recalling Wang Jianqiang's recent strange looks at her and his undisguised greed on his face now, Su Wan had a bad feeling.

Seeing Wang Jianqiang striding towards her without stopping, Su Wan quickly stood up, abandoning the crab she had just caught. She secretly picked up a stone from the water and hid it behind her, looking at Wang Jianqiang with a guarded expression.

"Why are you coming over here?"

Su Wan asked, pretending to be casual.

Wang Jianqiang seemed unaware of Su Wan's small movements. He continued to stride through the water towards her, grinning smugly and speaking in a frivolous tone.

"To find you!"

Wang Jianqiang's answer made Su Wan's heart sink. His posture indicated that he wasn't just coming for a chat. At this moment, they were the only two here. If he had any bad intentions, no one could stop him.

But she would never let him succeed!

Thinking of this, Su Wan tightened her grip on the stone hidden behind her and looked at Wang Jianqiang with determination.

"Don't come any closer!"

Su Wan sternly warned.

Wang Jianqiang sneered coldly, but his steps didn't stop.

"Stop struggling. Obey me, and you'll suffer less."

"You're no longer the chairman's secretary here. That old man can't protect you now!"

"If you don't want to starve and suffer every day, you'd better listen to me!"

As Wang Jianqiang spoke, his voice became harsh, and his expression grew increasingly sinister.

In the company, he had always been attracted to the graceful and gentle Su Wan. He had tried to please and approach her, but Su Wan had always treated him coldly. Although they were both close to the chairman, their interactions were minimal, as if Su Wan never regarded him as a bodyguard, which left Wang Jianqiang resentful.

Su Wan was highly valued by the chairman. Even his own son was severely reprimanded for flirting with her, let alone Wang Jianqiang. So, he could only admire Su Wan's tall figure from afar, never having the chance to get close.

But now, on this lawless island where strength determined everything, no matter how proud and cold she was before, she would now be at his mercy!

Seeing Wang Jianqiang completely drop his façade and approach her with a sinister desire, Su Wan bit her lip.

She had initially hoped that Wang Jianqiang's intentions weren't as she feared, but his words shattered her last bit of hope.

She knew all too well that even if she turned and ran now, she would never outpace Wang Jianqiang, whose physical prowess far surpassed her own. He would easily chase her down and pin her to the ground. Given that, she might as well fight with everything she had. Even if it meant death, she refused to submit!

Though trudging through seawater slowed him down, Wang Jianqiang quickly closed the distance between them. Just as he reached out with a leering grin to grab Su Wan, her right hand—hidden behind her back—suddenly moved.

Gritting her teeth, Su Wan mustered all her strength and swung the rock in her hand straight at Wang Jianqiang's head. She knew exactly what awaited her if she fell into his clutches.

Clearly, with no hope of rescue, he had cast aside all morality and law, acting without restraint.

She had long noticed Wang Jianqiang's predatory interest in her, though she hadn't paid it much mind before. But now, with no laws or rules to hold him back, she had no choice but to rely on the most primal and direct method to fend off his assault.

Her usually delicate body erupted with desperate strength as she swung the palm-sized rock with all her might toward his head. Just as the rock was inches away from striking him, a thick, powerful hand suddenly clamped around her slender wrist. No matter how hard she strained, the rock remained frozen in place, unable to advance even an inch closer to its target.

Wang Jianqiang gripped her wrist, a smug smirk twisting his lips as he glanced dismissively at the rock in her hand. Then, his gaze—filled with predatory intent—locked onto Su Wan's panicked yet beautiful eyes. Slowly, with a sinister grin, he spoke.

"You thought this would work on me?"

Su Wan quickly steadied herself, meeting his stare with unwavering defiance. Her eyes burned with resolve, even a hint of grim determination.

With her right hand trapped, she refused to surrender. In a flash, she jerked her knee up, aiming a vicious kick straight for his groin—the most vulnerable spot on any man. A solid hit there would bring even the strongest man to his knees, howling in agony and completely incapacitated.

Had it been anyone else, after thwarting Su Wan's premeditated strike and seizing her, they might have been caught off guard by this sudden, lethal counterattack—collapsing in pain before they realized what happened.

But Wang Jianqiang was no ordinary man. As a top-tier bodyguard and a master of hand-to-hand combat, his reflexes were razor-sharp. The moment Su Wan moved, he anticipated her attack.

His left hand still held her rock-wielding wrist, raised between them, while his free right hand shot downward, intercepting her strike before it could land. His fingers clamped around her ankle, stopping her attack cold.

Now, Su Wan was truly desperate. Both of her sudden, all-out attacks had been effortlessly blocked by Wang Jianqiang, and now she was completely at his mercy. With her strength, there was no way she could break free from his grip. Was she really going to be ruined by him today? 

**"You're just asking for more suffering!"** 

Wang Jianqiang's expression darkened, a cruel glint flashing in his eyes. 

With both hands still gripping Su Wan's wrist and ankle, he shoved her backward with force, sending her crashing into the seawater. 

The waves drenched her clothes completely, her hair clinging to her delicate face, leaving her in a pitiful state. But Su Wan had no time to care about her appearance. The moment she was free from his grasp, she scrambled to her feet, splashing through the water in a desperate attempt to escape. 

A mocking smirk played on Wang Jianqiang's lips as he watched her flounder. With long strides, he pursued her through the surf. 

The resistance of the water slowed them both, each step a struggle. Su Wan gritted her teeth, pushing forward with everything she had, but the sound of Wang Jianqiang's splashing footsteps grew louder, closer—until a sharp, searing pain erupted in her scalp. 

A powerful yank on her hair sent her stumbling backward, her escape cut short. Wang Jianqiang had grabbed her by the hair, his grip unrelenting, dragging her to a halt. 

Just as he began pulling her toward the shore, a voice—cold and laced with killing intent—cut through the air behind him. 

**"Let. Her. Go."** 

Wang Jianqiang didn't seem surprised. Instead, a sinister smile curled on his lips, as if he had been waiting for this very moment. 

Still clutching Su Wan's hair, he turned his head, his gaze shifting toward the dense woods lining the beach. 

Under Wang Jianqiang's scrutinizing stare and Su Wan's desperate, hopeful gaze, a tall figure clad in black emerged slowly from the shadows of the trees.
