The secret room was so quiet that even the sound of a pin drop could be heard. After a brief moment of distraction, Yi Jie read the second letter. The paper was very new and it was written recently.

Yi Jie:

You may be curious about why I wrote to you. To you, I am just someone you have met twice.

Actually, I recognized you when we first met. I watched your English speech competition and was shocked. My heart was surging following your speech and I can't forget it until now. You are someone I admire very much.

It should have been a happy thing to meet my idol, but when I found out that you were staying at Cheng Jiahui's, a smaller B&B, I didn't dare express any emotion. I couldn't bring danger to you.

However, when you entered this island and met Cheng Jiahui, danger began to accompany you. I can't control all this, because I have never been a person with decision-making power, so all I can do is to help you at the most critical moment.

No matter how you leave the island, I will hand these two letters to you. I hope you can convey my true feelings. I believe in you. After all, I don't believe that someone who can speak such magnificent patriotic words does not have a spirit of great love in her heart.

In life, there are always many things that are beyond one's control. Of course, my inability to control myself will be despised and condemned by everyone, and this is as it should be. Every day is in sober pain, and this feeling is really hard to bear.

Let me tell you my story. I once had an ordinary but happy family. My father was a junior high school chemistry teacher and my mother was a nurse. We were not rich, but at least we had enough food and clothing. They had a good relationship and loved me with all their heart. I think I was lucky.

People often say that happiness will spread infinitely. I think, for my family, it will always stop when I was eighteen years old.

I still remember that day was the summer vacation after I graduated from senior high school. As usual, my parents took a boat to leave the island to go to work. I was watching TV at home with the watermelon cut by my mother next to me. I really wished time would stop at that moment, if only they hadn’t come back.

Cheng Jiahui and her men kidnapped me, and used me as a hostage to threaten my parents, asking them to make drugs for the organization. The reason was that one of their drug makers died on the workbench, and they picked and chose my parents on the island.

Mom and dad were extremely anxious. They handed over all their savings but there was nothing they could do. They couldn't even call the police, so they had no choice but to take this path.

The pain did not stop there. My mother was forced to become addicted to drugs by Cheng Jiahui in order to tie our family to this ship forever. Do you know how much hatred I felt in my heart when I saw that my father tried everything to stop my mother from going crazy when the drug addiction attacked her?

My mother still couldn't give up her drug addiction. My father couldn't bear it and stopped controlling her. So she died in the spring of the year before last, with not much flesh left on her body.

My father gradually became numb, never caring about his own health, just hoping that I could live a safe and healthy life on the island. But what is the meaning of living in such humiliation? Whenever I see news about drug-hunting police officers who died and family tragedies caused by drugs on TV, my heart feels like it is fried in a frying pan and I can't calm down for a long time.

Dad's health is getting worse and worse. I don't know how long he can hold on. I have been waiting for someone who is worthy of entrustment and trust. When I saw you, I felt that I could take a gamble.

When I saw you bring your sister out of the mist safely and come to check the tires on the landslide the next day, I knew I had made the right bet. You are such a smart person.

I know you understood my hint at that time, but it's normal that you don't believe it, so I can only find a chance to give you the letter later. Please believe me, if you are in danger, I will do everything I can to help you escape from here. I don't want you to suffer like my family.

Finally, I have to tell you secretly that I later saw the admission letter that Cheng Jiahui had withheld. Do you know which university I was admitted to? Haha, it was the Public Security University. I cannot realize my ambitions in this life, but I only hope that I can fulfill my wishes in the next life, live up to my family, live up to the world, and become a great hero.

Written by Huang Biao

Yi Jie's heart was broken after reading the letter. If all this was true, she couldn't imagine how Biaozi had managed to survive all these years.

Taking a deep breath, Yi Jie took out a dagger and pointed it at Biaozi's neck: "Please forgive me, I have to be cautious. I won't block your mouth, but if you yell, I will kill you!"

Biaozi softened his eyes and nodded.

Yi Jie pulled her socks off bit by bit, and Biaozi remained very quiet throughout the process.

"You are calm and rational, which is great." Biaozi showed his signature grin again, and his white teeth made Yi Jie's eyes sore.

"Thank you for the compliment. I want to know how we can get out." Yi Jie turned her face away slightly. She felt that Biaozi probably didn't want to see the sympathy in her eyes.

"Do you believe me?" Biaozi asked urgently.

"Let me hear your plan first." Yi Jie's tone was calm.

"Okay, my plan is, you send me up, I'll find a way to divert their attention, and then use the key in your hand to drive my electric boat to the dock, leave the key there, and you drive the boat away by yourselves." Biaozi said slowly.

"It sounds good, but I'm sorry, I can't trust you completely. Once you go up and tell on me, my cousin and I will be dead." Yi Jie looked at Biaozi sharply.

Biaozi said helplessly: "You really have no other choice but to trust me. You may still think that you can rob a boat and leave at the dock tomorrow, but I tell you, half of the residents on this island work for Cheng Jiahui, and the other half have been bribed and don't care about anything. The armed forces on the island are far beyond your imagination. There are hundreds of people with guns. No matter how lucky you are, you can't escape unscathed."

Yi Jie took a deep breath, they were so rampant. You have to know that even a small county's public security bureau does not have this many people equipped with guns. It was really beyond her imagination.

"I originally went out to move the boat, but I didn't expect to be dragged in by you. We don't have much time left. Don't worry about it. You can't afford to waste it." Biaozi's tone became impatient.

Yi Jie thought for a moment, pretended to reach into her pocket, took out an unsealed mint candy from the system backpack, and stuffed it into Biaozi's mouth.

"Do you feel a lot more relaxed now and have endless energy? This is not ordinary candy, it is poison. If you don't take the antidote after three days, you will die suddenly. I am the only one who has the antidote. You may not believe it, but you have to believe the changes in your body. The candies you usually eat don't have such effects, right?" Yi Jie looked at Biaozi straight.

Unexpectedly, Biaozi obediently chewed the candy, swallowed it, and said with a grin: "It's delicious. I believe you. I will eat whatever you feed me."

His unreserved trust made Yi Jie feel at a loss. She was most afraid of encountering a sincere villain!

"Now, hit me and make me look as miserable as possible."

"Ah?" Yi Jie thought she had heard it wrong.

"Get started!" Biaozi said again calmly.

"Okay, alright," Yi Jie uncertainly threw a punch at Biaozi's face, without using much strength.

"Hiss, you can focus more!"

Yi Jie flexed her wrists. If that was the case, she would not be polite. It was the first time she met someone who wanted to be a human sandbag.

Boom! A heavy punch!

Three minutes later, Biaozi began to doubt his life. He had never expected Yi Jie to be so strong. He just shouted in his mind to hold back and not to use so much strength. When Yi Jie said in a nonchalant manner that she had only used 50% of her strength, his face turned red.

After spitting out the blood foam from his mouth, Biaozi asked Yi Jie to untie him with his red and swollen face.

"Wait here. In half an hour, go to the dock and leave by boat." Biaozi's last look was full of nostalgia, and Yi Jie grabbed him.

"You're going to be okay?"

Biaozi laughed again, "It won't be worse than sudden death anyway. Have a good rest. You will be tired later."

Yi Jie just watched Biaozi leave. He walked farther and farther away in the darkness like a lone hero, walking alone, tenacious and brave.

Haiyan Factory conference room.

"What? You met Yi Jie and the others at Huihe Primary School?" Cheng Jiahui stood up suddenly from her chair.

Uncle Huang touched Biaozi's injured face with a look of heartache, and took out iodine from the medicine box to apply medicine to him.

"Yes, Yi Jie was very strong. I couldn't defeat her at all. I managed to escape by luck. They probably feared that they would be exposed, so they didn't chase me." Biaozi said, pretending to be angry.

"That's true. Ali said that Yi Jie's strength is indeed terrifying. But after being discovered by you, they probably won't dare to hide there anymore. No wonder we couldn't find them before. Ah He and the others have been searching in the woods. But it's good that we can reveal some of their tracks. At least they should be very panicked now. Let me think, where will they go after leaving school?" Cheng Jiahui tapped on the table, making a clacking sound.

"The granary, the granary in the opposite direction of the school is easy to hide. At worst, it's in that area. There are many buildings over there, so it's very convenient to hide." Biaozi guided.

"Indeed, that is indeed the most likely place. I will notify Ah He and the others to arrange for everyone to go there to encircle and suppress them. No, I will lead people there myself to see how they die." Cheng Jiahui said excitedly, as if Yi Jie and the other person would kneel down and beg for mercy in front of her in the next second.

"I'll come over after I treat my wounds, sister Dian, please spare their lives and let me beat them up to my heart's content. I can't take this beating in vain." Biaozi said viciously.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, just come over quickly." Cheng Jiahui left the meeting room in high spirits.

"You, why are you like this..." Uncle Huang was about to scold Biaozi, but he felt a sharp pain in his neck and then lost consciousness.

"I'm sorry, Dad. This may be the last time I call you. I hope you can sleep well and live peacefully every day." Biaozi wiped away his tears and hid him in the basement of the sea salt factory, locking the door tightly. Then he rushed to move the electric boat without stopping.

In the secret passage, Yi Jie woke up Li Beibei and briefly told her the next plan. Li Beibei immediately became alert. Such a big thing happened during the time she was asleep.

"So, we're going to run to the docks now, right?"

"Yes, half an hour has passed." Yi Jie took out the chameleon cloak and put it on the two of them.

Yi Jie looked back at the secret room and left with Li Beibei.

This guy had just moved his boat and arrived to join the main force.

Cheng Jiahui stood outside the granary with a frown on her face. When she saw Biaozi, she asked in confusion, "Where's Uncle Huang? Why can't I see him?"

"My father is a little tired, so I let him rest at the salt field. He is middle-aged anyway, so he can't help much if he comes." Biaozi replied calmly.

However, Cheng Jiahui noticed Biaozi's slightly swollen eyes.

"Oh? Really? Uncle Huang usually treasures you like the apple of his eye. Now you are injured and come to arrest people. How can he be at ease? Also, have you been crying? Why?" Cheng Jiahui shouted!

Biaozi was in a state of panic. He did not expect Cheng Jiahui to be so observant. He calmed himself down and said quickly, "The wind blew the sand and blinded him. It's nothing else. It was my dad who did not allow him to come."

Cheng Jiahui suddenly laughed: "Everyone who comes from the sea salt factory will take a shortcut. There are residential areas nearby. Where can you get sand, unless you take a long way to the dock."

Beads of sweat slid down Biaozi's face, and Cheng Jiahui's mind suddenly became clear. She walked to Biaozi and sniffed hard.

"It smells like iodine, sweat, and... the salty, damp smell of the sea! You really went to the beach!"

She tried to call Uncle Huang, but no one answered. At this point, Cheng Jiahui understood everything.

She smiled cruelly, "Okay, very good. The traitor is among us. He usually pretends to be stupid, but he is actually very smart. He is worthy of being a quasi-public security student in our drug dealer circle. It would be a pity if he didn't go undercover."

"Come on, brothers, take him and bring his weapons with me to the dock." Cheng Jiahui gave the order.

Yi Jie had just boarded the boat and sat in the driving seat when she found the key left by Biaozi.

"Xiao Jie! They are chasing us!" Li Beibei exclaimed.

Yi Jie looked back and saw Cheng Jiahui walking in front of her from a distance, with two people beside her dragging scarred bodies, all of which were newly injured. The people following behind were all holding guns or machetes.

Oh no! Yi Jie inserted the key like crazy, pulled the handle, and prepared to escape. The loud noise of the engine came into her ears, and Yi Jie manipulated the steering wheel.

"Yi Jie, if you run now, your good teammates will not survive." Cheng Jiahui shouted and waved to the people behind her to run forward quickly.

"Yi Jie, run! Don't worry about me! If you get caught, you will really let me down!" Biaozi endured the severe pain in his face and roared with all his strength.

Yi Jie no longer hesitated, increased the horsepower, and the boat sailed out of the dock.

Cheng Jiahui's eyes were about to spit fire. She took out the gun, pointed it at Biaozi's head, and pulled the trigger.

"Oh!"

When the gunshots rang out, Yi Jie's back stiffened. She controlled her shaking hands and shouted to Li Beibei, "Sister, lie down, don't show your head!"

Li Beibei fell to the ground in panic. She saw with her own eyes a living person being killed.

"Xiao Jie, Biaozi is dead." Li Beibei cried.

"Yeah." The wind blew on Yi Jie's face, blowing away her tears.

"Bang, bang, bang!" Continuous gunshots rang out behind her. Yi Jie clumsily adjusted the steering wheel to dodge dangerously.

"Are you still fighting here? Are you crazy? Go get the yacht and chase them!" Cheng Jiahui ran over angrily and kicked Ah He.

"Yes!" Ah He hurriedly took the three of them and ran to drive the yacht.

Cheng Jiahui stared at Yi Jie's receding figure, biting her lips until they bled: "Pack up everything. If Ah He and the others don't come back within an hour, we have to move immediately."

"Yes!"
