This was because when he looked up and spotted her, before he noticed her disguised look, she had already observed his seemingly calm, yet actually flabbergasted expression.
The moment he saw her, he was disappointed, surprised, and bewildered… Although he still had that solemn expression, she could see his various emotions hidden under that serious-looking face.
Therefore, she immediately retreated, asked Sanji to hold Chi Yang off for at least an hour, and then hurried back to the country via private jet.
Although the flight route was different from the sea route and required some detours, it was much faster. An hour was more than enough time for her to fly back to Camino.
Moreover, there was no signal in City B, and the service in the ferry she asked Sanji to board them on was also blocked. Therefore, when Chi Yang called her, they should have only just entered the territorial waters of Camino.
