After breakfast, Fu Cheng accompanied Lu Zhengqian to inspect the island's environment. Gan Tang walked slowly behind them. Reaching a three-way intersection, Fu Cheng stopped and said, "Godfather, this fork in the road has many strange rocks and scenic spots. A water channel could be built along the terrain; it would make a nice garden. Would you like to take a look?"

These roads were all inspected and slightly repaired by Fu Cheng yesterday.

Lu Zhengqian waved his hand: "Let's look at the address first, then we'll look at it again when we get back."

"Dad, let me go see for you!" Gan Tang had long since given up on going with them.

Although all the evidence told her that this was her biological father, Gan Tang couldn't feel any fatherly affection when she looked at him. Instead, she felt very uncomfortable because she had to act.

Lu Zhengqian thought it was a good idea and pointed to Mo Huaixing behind Gan Tang, "You go with Miss."

"No need, there's definitely no danger in places that my brother has already checked." Gan Tang said, rubbing her stomach somewhat awkwardly, implying, "I'm a little uncomfortable."

Mo Huaixing lowered his head and said respectfully, "I'm waiting for Miss here."

Fu Cheng led Lu Zhengqian toward the main road. Gan Tang turned to look at Mo Huaixing and asked, "If I'm in danger, will you save me?" Without waiting for his reply, she walked toward the side road on her own.

After winding around several narrow stone walls, we came to the surging sea.

Gan Tang leaned against the smooth stone wall, one hand supporting her lower back, closed her eyes, and listened to the sound of the sea.

The sound of footsteps on the sandy ground was very faint; if you weren't paying special attention, you wouldn't be able to hear it at all.

It's finally here!

Gan Tang smiled slightly, pressing a gun against the newcomer's forehead. "Who are you?"

The newcomer wore a black mask, black sunglasses, a black trench coat covering his head, and black leather gloves, completely concealing his identity. However, judging from his muscular physique, he was clearly a man.

"I...I..."

"What?"

A sharp pain shot through her wrist. When Gan Tang looked up again, the man had snatched the pistol from her hand. She had anticipated that Lin Shuang's mastermind wouldn't let her off easily, and she had expected him to target her again. But she hadn't expected that even with a gun, she was no match for the man's strength.

The man threw the pistol on the ground, took out a strip of cloth, tied it to Gan Tang's mouth, then turned on the camera hanging around his neck and began to undress Gan Tang.

"So what if she's Lu Zhengqian's daughter? Let's see if you still dare to disobey now."

The steel-like strength overwhelmed Gan Tang, leaving her utterly powerless to retaliate. Suddenly, a large rock slammed into the man, causing him to stagger back two steps.

Yuan Biao lifted a large rock and hurled it at the man again. The man bent down to pick up his pistol, but Gan Tang slipped to the ground and quickly kicked the pistol away.

The large rock exploded near the masked man, who then fled in panic.

"Young Miss!" Yuan Biao knelt down to help Gan Tang up. Gan Tang's clothes were torn, and Yuan Biao took off his coat to put it on the young lady, but after taking off the coat, he dared not put it on.

Gan Tang didn't notice his movements, picked up the pistol and walked back.

"Yuan Biao, thank you. How did you know I was here?"

“I am your bodyguard, of course I have to protect you.” At this point, Yuan Biao said with some grievance, “You don’t allow me to follow you, so I can only protect you from a distance.”

Gan Tang turned her head to look at Yuan Biao and tentatively asked, "Did your fourth uncle tell you to do this?"

Yuan Biao chuckled and said, "Fourth Master certainly gave instructions, but I was genuinely worried about you."

"Fourth Uncle is so good to me." Gan Tang nodded thoughtfully. Could it really not be him, but Fu Cheng?

Seeing that the young lady was ignoring him, Yuan Biao felt a little disappointed and said with a forced smile, "You are Mr. Fu's daughter, so of course Fourth Master treats you well. He also asked me to report your safety to Mr. Fu from time to time."

"Report to Mr. Fu?" Gan Tang suddenly stopped and turned to look at the spot where the masked man had disappeared.

Yuan Biao realized he had exaggerated and shrank back, saying, "I meant to tell Brother Ali. You know, small fry like us aren't qualified to see Mr. Fu."

Gan Tang withdrew her gaze and instructed, "Don't mention today's events."

"But……"

"But what? You're my bodyguard, whose orders should you take?"

Gan Tang shut him up with one sentence. Just as he was about to continue walking back, he saw Mo Huaixing walking towards him.

At this moment, Gan Tang's neck was covered in red marks, and her neatly arranged white dress was still disheveled, with a button missing from the collar.

Mo Huaixing walked up to Gan Tang, his gaze quickly shifting away as he bowed his head respectfully, looking as if he wanted to ask but dared not.

"What are you looking at? Haven't you ever seen people on a date before?" Gan Tang glanced at him awkwardly, then pulled Yuan Biao's hand and walked forward.

Yuan Biao looked at his hand, which was being held tightly by the young lady, and felt as if he were floating on air.

What did the young lady say? A date? With me?

"Ouch! Who the hell threw that stone on the road?" Yuan Biao stumbled, nearly falling, and carefully steadied Gan Tang. "Miss, the road is rough, please be careful!"

Mo Huaixing kicked away the pebble he had thrown away, turned his head to look at the place where Gan Tang had been attacked, and couldn't help but sigh: What a courageous little girl.

The situation was still unclear, and Gan Tang dared not let Lu Zhengqian know, fearing it would cause more trouble. Looking at her wrinkled dress, she said to Yuan Biao, "Go find Mo Huaixing and tell him to tell Mr. Fu that I have a stomachache and have to go home first."

"Yes!" Yuan Biao turned around and went to find Mo Huaixing.

Gan Tang turned a corner and arrived at the three-way intersection where she separated from Lu Zhengqian and Fu Cheng. Lin Shuang stood at the intersection, carrying a shopping bag, looking around, seemingly having been waiting there for quite some time.

What are you doing here?

"I'm looking for Mr. Fu, but I don't know where he is!" Lin Shuang saw Gan Tang as if she had seen a savior. "I saw that Mr. Fu was not wearing much when he came out, and I was afraid that he would get cold later, so I specially brought two coats. Please take them to him for me, and don't say that I brought them."

At this moment, Lin Shuang was covered in a strong perfume scent, which made Gan Tang want to stay away from her.

"He's over there!" Gan Tang pointed to the main road, puzzled. "Why didn't you see him off yourself?"

Lin Shuang looked embarrassed. "You know, he hasn't really wanted to see me these past few days."

Lu Zhengqian is currently preoccupied with the woman he loved more than 20 years ago and is indeed unwilling to see Lin Shuang. But isn't Lin Shuang that person's woman? Why is she so concerned about Lu Zhengqian?

Gan Tang pointed to her skirt: "My clothes were torn by a tree branch, I need to go back and change."

“Yes, her neck is all scratched red. I’ll go deliver it myself. I brought some ointment, you can apply it first.” Lin Shuang said, taking out the ointment from her bag and applying it to Gan Tang.

"Thank you!" After applying the ointment for only a few strokes, Gan Tang politely pushed her hand away, said goodbye, and left.

The sea breeze howled, causing the leaves to sway in the wind. A dark brown, triangular snake's head emerged from the silvery tree, its red tongue flicking as it lunged at the sweetgum tree.
