The only mercenary who could communicate with her saw that she looked haggard and tired, and tried to persuade her in a low voice.

It was the first time he had met such a stubborn person. They had searched the entire island in the early morning. If the person she was talking about was still on the island, he would have been found.

But now they searched back and forth along the original route three times but still couldn't find the person she was looking for.

The answer was obvious: either the man was so disfigured and rotten that she couldn't recognize him, or he might have been eaten by the residents of the island who ate raw meat all year round.

Of course, there is another possibility, that is, he, like Ruan Zheng, was rescued from the island.

Ruan Zheng shook her head, her small face showing stubbornness. "I'll pay you more. Can you help me search around the island again? I don't believe he's dead. He..."

"Sorry, this is not a question of adding money." The man refused directly and decisively.

After he finished speaking, he pointed to a large group of islanders in front of him who were staring at them.

With a serious expression, he said, "Those residents have been following us for three hours, all of them are watching us eagerly, and their numbers are increasing.

Even if we had guns, it would be a tough battle if all the islanders rushed over.

Most importantly, we cannot guarantee your safety if a war breaks out, so Ms. Ruan, please think twice."

The man's words were powerful and Ruan Zheng looked towards the scary residents not far away in a trance, her eyes somewhat empty and distracted.

Yin Junye, would he... really be eaten alive by those people?

"Ugh! Ugh!"

The helicopter landed safely in Jinghai territory. Ruan Zheng vomited all over the place as soon as she got off the plane. Her little face was completely drained of blood and turned as pale as paper.

"Ms. Ruan." A low voice sounded in her ears.

Ruan Zheng turned her head and saw that it was a mercenary handing her water. She said softly, "Thank you."

The man nodded politely, then said, "See you later." Then he turned and left.

Seeing him about to leave, Ruan Zheng said anxiously, "Sir, I don't know your name yet."

Hearing this, the man paused, turned his head slightly, and said, "My code name is Jifeng." Then he completely disappeared from Ruan Zheng's sight.

It was already bright by this time.

Ruan Zheng took a taxi back to the old residential building, but there was no one in the house.

Taking out her cell phone, she called Li Qin...

Jingle bell, jingle bell.

A crisp sound interrupted Pei Linxiao's movements, and Li Qin under him was suddenly startled. She turned her head and saw the word "Ruan Zheng" flashing on the screen. She pushed him away fiercely.

He opened his phone and said, "Hey, Ruan Zheng, are you back? Are you hurt? Are you being bullied?"

Li Qin choked up as she spoke. In her entire life, she had never felt that any night was as long as last night.

It felt like she was walking on a road that would never end. It was dark and eerie, making her physically and mentally tense all the time.

Of course, while her spirit was suffering, her body was also suffering, because that bastard Pei Linxiao...

"I'm fine. Where are you, Xiaobao, and Aunt Li? Where are you now?"

"I..." Li Qin almost blurted out that she was in a wolf's den, but luckily she stopped herself at the last minute. "I'm out on business. As for my mom and Xiaobao, they should be at the mall. Don't worry, I'll be back soon. By the way, I'll bring you anything you want to eat."

Pei Linxiao, who heard the girl's words, felt a little jealous. What a heartless little ungrateful person. He thought that he was no less helpful than Ruan Zheng in terms of care and help.

But looking at her, the only person on her mind was Ruan Zheng, and he, the man who contributed both money and effort, seemed to be just a decoration.

"Then please bring me some pan-fried buns and millet porridge. I also want some plums."

Li Qin: “…”

"Have you started having morning sickness? Is it severe? Do you want me to go to the hospital with you later? Oh, forget it, forget it. You wait for me at home first, I'll talk to you when I get back." Li Qin said anxiously and hung up the phone.

Then he looked at Pei Linxiao, who was already dressed neatly, and said in a soft voice, "Brother, can you remove my handcuffs now?"
