“I understand.” Claire nodded slightly.
Then, Sun Mengmeng took him to the parking lot, where a black business car was already parked.
Sun Mengmeng put her luggage into the trunk, opened the side sliding door and let Claire get in first, then she sat in the driver’s seat.
After starting the car, Sun Mengmeng said to Claire, “Mr. Willson, we plan to leave at nine tonight. You and your family don’t need to bring too much stuff, just bring a carry-on bag.”
“If there’s anything you need to bring, just take a photo and send it to me. I’ll arrange for someone to come tonight to pack and load the car. The items might arrive a day later than you.”
Claire was surprised by the other party’s professionalism, but after thinking about it carefully, she felt relieved.
So he asked, “Are we leaving this country by water?”
“Yes,” Sun Mengmeng said, “The cargo ship has already docked at Daocheng Harbor. After arriving early this morning, we will immediately board the ship.”
Claire said anxiously, “If we board the cargo ship, how am I supposed to communicate with my parents? I haven’t told them yet. I was planning to tell them after I got back that I’d be taking them out for a few days.”
Sun Mengmeng smiled and said, “Don’t worry. Our business class cars have a retractable partition in the middle. After you let your parents get in at night, you can sit in the passenger seat and let your parents sit in the back.”
“When the bulkhead is lifted, a colorless, odorless, and harmless anesthetic gas will be released into the rear cabin. This gas will put them to a long sleep. Then we’ll head straight for the cargo ship, which has fully equipped rooms. When they wake up, we’ll be on the open sea. You can tell them everything. I’m sure they’ll understand.”
Claire was surprised and said, “Is this… so simple and rude?”
“Alright,” Sun Mengmeng said, “This is the best way. Otherwise, if they notice something amiss midway, or notice anything unusual while boarding the ship, it will be very difficult for you to explain. If they contact the young master secretly, the entire plan will most likely be ruined.”
“I understand.” Even though Claire was simple, she could still understand the overall situation.
Extraordinary situations require extraordinary measures. Given my parents’ personalities, if they realized something was wrong, they would certainly have their own opinion.
Her father couldn’t bear to part with the foundation he had built at the Calligraphy and Painting Association, and the arrogance of driving Cullinan in and out every day. Her mother couldn’t bear to part with the luxurious house in Tomson Yipin, let alone a wealthy son-in-law like Charlie.
For Charlie’s sake, they must not be allowed to cause any trouble at all. The best way is as Sun Mengmeng said, that is, let them fall asleep in the car and sleep all the way to the open sea.
His parents’ cell phones didn’t have satellite communication capabilities, so once they were out on the open sea, it was impossible for them to contact Charlie discreetly, even if they wanted to.
As soon as he thought of this, he said to Sun Mengmeng, “Are you sure the anesthesia won’t harm their bodies?”
“Of course!”
Sun Mengmeng said calmly, “There’s no harm. This will simply allow them to experience an unprecedented amount of restful sleep. And don’t worry, we have a 15-person medical care team on board right now. They’re carrying state-of-the-art medical equipment and will be traveling with us. From now on, this team will be exclusively serving you and your family.”
Claire subconsciously said, “This is too much trouble. There’s no need to go to all this trouble. Just give us an environment that allows us to live normally.”
Sun Mengmeng said seriously, “Mr. Willson, or should I call you Mrs. Wade? You are the Young Master’s wife. We took you and your family away without telling the Young Master. This is already a huge betrayal. If we don’t take good care of you and your family, how will we face the Young Master in the future?”
“Besides, it’s not like we won’t allow you to see the Young Master. Once the Young Master completes his revenge plan, everything will be revealed to him, and there will be no restrictions on your contact or meetings with him. If we fail to protect you and your family during this period, the Young Master will definitely blame us.”
At this point, Sun Mengmeng added, “We’ve arranged everything for you and your family there. We have maids, gardeners, bodyguards, doctors, car drivers, yacht drivers, helicopter pilots, and even golf, tennis, diving, and yoga instructors.”
“They all work full-time, and we’ve trained them for years. You and your family won’t have to worry about food, clothing, housing, transportation, entertainment, or healthcare once you arrive.”
Claire exclaimed: “This… this is such a waste of money! All the money spent belongs to Charlie. I… I really can’t stand it…”
Sun Mengmeng smiled and said, “Don’t worry, Madam. This amount of money is just a drop in the ocean to Young Master. Put it this way, the money Young Master earns in a day is enough for you and your family to live at the highest standard for the rest of your lives.”
Claire was shocked when she heard this.
But Sun Mengmeng was not joking.
He’s even a bit conservative.
Charlie’s ability to make money cannot be measured by conventional business thinking.
He deliberately said frankly to Claire, “Madam, in fact, Young Master is not only the heir of the Wade family, nor is he just the grandson of the An family. He is the biggest boss of a shipping company as big as Yisu Shipping.”
“I don’t know if you know that when shipping is at its most profitable, a container ship can generate hundreds of millions of dollars in shipping revenue per trip, and Yisu Shipping has over a hundred ships of various types docked.”
Claire asked in shock, “One ship, just one trip costs hundreds of millions of dollars? This is… too expensive!”
Sun Mengmeng smiled and said, “It may sound exaggerated, but you probably don’t know that shipping costs have skyrocketed recently. The cost of shipping a single container from East Asia to the United States has soared to $20,000. And Yisu Shipping’s largest container ship is fully loaded with 24,000 containers.”
“In other words, this container ship’s shipping revenue from a single trip from China to the United States exceeds US$400 million. And that’s in US dollars. Even if you ran a money printing press until it was smoking, it couldn’t print money that fast.”
Sun Mengmeng didn’t say anything else.
He knew that even so, Yisu Shipping’s profitability was not as good as Charlie’s Rejuvenation Pill auction.
The total cost of living for Claire’s family of three in Tahiti would not exceed 50 million US dollars a year at most, so this is really just a drop in the ocean.
The reason he told Claire about Yisu’s Delivery was actually because he hoped Claire would give up on seeing Charlie again.
All of Margaret An’s subordinates knew that Margaret An hoped Claire could live comfortably and peacefully in Tahiti and never come back to see Charlie again.
Claire’s expression was slightly melancholy at this point. She was increasingly aware of the unimaginable distance between herself and Charlie.
After a moment of silence, he said, “Just follow your plan.”
