Zhao Feiyan took Chen Linyun's right hand into hers and clasped it.  Her eyes reflected solemnity of a mother who's simply grateful to the person who saved her son.  "Then we owe you a lot, son.  If it weren't for you, Minhe would not be able to go back to us."

"I had not done anyting out of the norm, Mother.  Even if it's not Brother-in-law I would still have done what I have done.  The first time I heard about the pirate attack at that place I had alrady been quite interested.  I vowed to myself to go check on it."

"Actually, going there was just a side itinerary during my business trip.  Xue Jinxu didn't know about this place.  I wouldn't want to keep a secret from her but if I had told her, she would have thrown a fit and would not have allowed me to go there out of worry."

"Her worry was not unfounded, though.  My accident seemed to be connected to it as well, although we couldn't be so sure."

"Right." Xue Minhe agreed.
