After listening silently to Wei Jing'an's story, Shu Ran took out the photos and handed them to him.

"I also rescued three more men. See if you recognize them."

I reached out my uninjured arm to take the photo; the cold air against my skin sent shivers down my spine.

"know!"

Aunt and Ye Xuan are still alive! Wei Jing'an's eyes reddened.

"what? What?"

Guo Zilin finally woke up, and looked up blankly to see a room full of people.

He awkwardly wiped away his drool, one hand still tightly wrapped around his chest, refusing to let go.

"I'm sorry, I haven't been getting enough rest. I don't know why I feel particularly at ease here."

So I fell into a deep sleep.

"Uncle, Aunt is still alive!"

"Really!" Guo Zilin exclaimed in surprise. "How is Lingyin? Is she safe?"

"Ms. Wei Lingyin had a gunshot wound on her leg, but it has been treated. As for the other two young men, the one with a tough appearance was shot near his heart and cannot be moved for the time being; he needs to rest. The other one, who looks somewhat sleazy, only had a knife wound on his arm."

After pursing his lips, Wei Jing'an said, "Comrade Shu, the one wounded by the gun is one of our own, named Ye Xuan. The other one who was stabbed is a member of the 'Little Life' group who infiltrated the group. Please take him into custody, as I'm worried he might tip off the US and the 'Little Life' group."

"Alright, I've got it. You all continue to recover. Once Comrade Ye Xuan is able to move, I'll take you back to Hong Kong first, and then you can take a ship back to China."

Shu Ran has many legal shipping routes, but this does not include the current Xia Kingdom.

Without a word, they suddenly flew into Xia Kingdom's airspace? Shu Ran didn't want to court death; she hadn't lived enough yet.

-

The next day, Shu Ran drove to Uncle Yu's place again.

After a long while, Shu Ran came out of the small dark room, took off her gloves and casually threw them into the trash can that had suddenly appeared.

Inside was that short young man.

"The interrogation is over. Take care of it now!"

Shu Ran didn't condone violence, nor did she want to get her hands dirty, so she used a truth-telling talisman and found out everything she wanted to know.

Those rascals are still up to no good! It's better to just blow them up!

"How are they both recovering?"

"Miss Wei is recovering well and has explained everything you asked her to do. Mr. Ye should wake up tomorrow. If he needs to be moved, he'll probably need to rest for another two days."

It's been too long; it's better to leave sooner rather than later.

Shu Ran turned and went to Ye Xuan's room, where she fed him half a pill.

"Any recent developments? Has anyone come to search the premises?"

"Not yet, everything remains the same."

Logically speaking, the person has been rescued by her for almost a day, so why is there no news from the US?

Did they think the person had fallen into the sea and died?

Shu Ran was puzzled, but it was good that no one was searching her. She should leave as soon as possible! If the others realized what was happening, it wouldn't be easy to leave openly with them.

"Bring the two of them to the small house before 5 a.m. tomorrow."

After finishing her business here, Shu Ran drove back to the small house.

The plane was still parked by the roadside, and Shu Xiang was resting inside.

The fuel tank is full, and with the addition of a special energy source, it can fully support the plane's return to the port city from here.

"We're leaving early tomorrow morning. Are there any people who want to go back to China? It will be difficult to change routes along the way."

When Shu Ran returned, she ran to the bedroom to tell the two of them about her decision.

Unsure of the situation of the other teams, Wei Jing'an couldn't ask Shu Ran to pick them up.

He had no idea whether he was dead or alive, where he was now, or whether he had been caught.

"Not at the moment, thank you both for your help."

"Don't be so polite, just focus on recovering!"

Shu Ran offered a word of comfort and then left the bedroom.

Guo Zilin followed Shu Ran out as well.

Yunxi was cooking in the kitchen. He had already taken apart the shrimp that the two of them had eaten yesterday.

Yunxi took a section of shrimp meat, cut it into small pieces, and mixed it into the filling. She prepared to wrap it into dumplings for the two people inside.

Having spent so much time in the sea, the cold seeps into my bones, and I need to eat some "yang" foods to nourish myself.

"Are you alright?"

Shu Ran turned around and asked Guo Zilin behind her.

"I'll go help out in the kitchen. I really feel bad leaving Brother Yun to do all the work by himself."

Guo Zilin was much more normal today; he no longer clutched his stomach, which seemed like a blatant attempt to cover something up.

Using her mental energy, she saw that the giant shrimp had already been put away, and there was nothing in the kitchen that was not meant to be seen. Shu Ran nodded: "Go ahead! The kitchen is over there."

Some were recuperating, others were cooking, and Shu Ran had nothing to do. Since it was still a while before dinner, she simply changed her shoes, grabbed her clips and bucket, and went out.

We were just enjoying the beach near the entrance, but we hadn't had enough fun yesterday before we went to rescue someone.

They ate a piece of shrimp meat each morning, noon, and night, which nearly removed the cold from their bodies.

The next morning, Uncle Yu personally brought the two men over with two trusted confidants.

After carrying the person onto the plane and settling them in, Uncle Yu led them off the plane.

Before setting off, Shu Ran stopped in her tracks.

"Do many people know about the rescue? Be careful. Things that can be solved with money are minor. Spend money if you need to, I'll reimburse you."

"Don't worry, Master. I only use trustworthy people to handle these matters. I've managed things well here over the years, and it's unlikely that anyone will come looking for trouble."

Shu Yu was confident in that much.

"Okay, feel free to contact me if you need anything."

After giving her instructions, Shu Ran boarded the plane.

The journey took more than ten hours, and the weather cooperated well, allowing the Shuxiang to drive very smoothly.

They took the person back to their residence in Repulse Bay, where there were fewer people.

They were arranged to live in an annex building, with four people staying there, and two more people were assigned to take care of the disabled people in the house.

"You should focus on recovering. If you need anything, just come to me. If you need to go out, contact someone, or have any other needs, just ask the housekeeper to make arrangements."

"Okay, thank you."

"Thank you."

"I don't need anything for now, thank you!"

Another one fainted; he was too weak to recover.

After settling in, Shu Ran and Yun Xi returned to the main building.

It's not far; it's only a ten-minute walk.

She has already wasted two of the ten days she was all allotted for free access to Scene 1.

Shu Ran couldn't wait to go in and take a look with Yun Xi, as she hadn't even opened her newbie gift pack yet!

I originally planned to shower and change before taking off my clothes, but there were always people around, so it's been delayed until now.

Everything was ready, and Shu Ran opened her system inventory to receive two newbie gift packs.

One of them was Yunxi, who pushed the gift bag with his name on it to him.

Shu Ran focused all her attention on the gift bag in front of her.

A worn-out fishing net, a gold-plated fishing rod, and a box of bait.

The fishing net was tattered and torn, with a large hole in the middle. It couldn't even catch trash, let alone catch fish.
