Jungkook held Lisa in his arms as he climbed up the ladder. Mark followed after.

...

The three of them left the island on the helicopter.

It took two more days before the fire completely stopped.

Thankfully, the location was largely isolated and it did not cause any disturbances.

...

In a blink of an eye, it had been two weeks since Lisa, Jungkook and Mark returned to the country.

After the bullet was retrieved from Mark's arm, he made a full recovery. He then took a team of men with him abroad to destroy Dark Moon's base. As a result, the leader of Dark Moon was now forced to be on the run.

Jungkook remained by Lisa's side in the Yu Ting Villa the entire time.

During the fire, Lisa had to endure the cold water and the lack of food. She had fallen sick the moment she came home.

Thankfully, after a long rest, she had mostly recovered. Her skin had also turned much fairer.

Lisa stood in the old Jeon mansion's backyard. She recalled her father and grandfather's overjoyed reaction when she first made it home.

Jeon Chongshan, Jeon Hong and Ye Yunzhi had also been overwhelmed and it seemed like they were on the verge of tears.

In the period that the two of them had been missing, the five elders were so consumed with worry that they barely ate or slept.

Thus, Jungkook and Lisa stayed in the Brushweiler family's villa for a week before moving to the old Jeon family's mansion so as to spend some time with all of them.

She learned that while they had been missing, the Jeon and Long family had sent out almost all of their subordinates to search for them.

Even her brother, Sehun, stopped searching for Tzuyu to look for her.

After all, her elder brother was certain that Tzuyu was safe from the regular letters she wrote to her parents. Lisa, however, had been completely missing.

Her brother had also been overjoyed by her return and soon returned to busying himself with searching for Tzuyu.

Lisa strolled comfortably in the Jeon family's yard. From afar, Mingyu watched her with a hint of unhappiness in his gaze.

He dearly wished to approach her. However, ever since her return, Jungkook had sent his men to beat him up whenever he tried to do so.

After repeated incidents, he now only dared to watch her from a distance.

She was truly becoming more and more beautiful.

She was now a university graduate. Her grandfather, Jingyuan Brushweiler, had already announced that she was set to inherit the entire Brushweiler Group.

She was the heiress of a powerful family with over a hundred years of history. She was also the world renowned fashion designer, Alice, and the director of Jiao Yang Finance Group.

Moreover, she had married the most revered man in the country, Jungkook.

She had become the most powerful woman in their country.

But this woman used to love him! She was supposed to be his!

Mingyu's gaze was filled with unhappiness and anger.

The Jeon and Long family were far too frightening. In the period Jungkook and Lisa were absent, he had thought that the two families would have fallen into disarray. Although he and Huang Zhishu could not do anything to the Long family, they could have at least attacked the Jeon family.

To their shock, the Jeon family elders were impossible to fool.

While the Jeon family were frantically searching for them, the companies operated as per normal. Even Jungkook's Sheng Shi Group remained at ease without their CEO.

This was because Jungkook had carefully selected capable subordinates and they were able to keep the Sheng Shi Group running efficiently.

With the Jeon family still standing, even if someone tried to cause trouble in the Sheng Shi Group, it would be futile.

He had prayed fervently for Jungkook and Lisa to never return.

However, both of them returned alive and unharmed.
