Qiao Jing decided to stay by the sea to search for the missing person from Xingluo Island, arranging for Lian Shun and Ying Ying to escort the three children who had been taken hostage back home.
Lian Shun knew Qiao Jing was deliberately setting him up with Ying Ying, so when he left, he made a gesture to Qiao Jing behind Ying Ying's back: Thanks, bro!
Qiao Jing gave a faint smile, watching Lian Shun and Ying Ying leaving. He turned his gaze back to the boundless ocean. Thanks to Lian Shun's quick thinking today, otherwise, the situation would have reverted to the state before he and Gu Ling went to Xingluo Island to rescue people--a total mess. Whatever the case, he and Lian Shun had been good friends for many years, so the mutual understanding was still there.
