Su Yuxi pursed her lips and didn't ask anything more, but once suspicion arose, it was hard not to be suspicious.

After she returned to the villa, Wan Qianqian squeezed in as well, insisting that she sleep with her tonight so as not to let her overthink things.

Su Yuxi had originally planned to go out tonight. She knew Wan Qianqian's personality well, and if she refused too obviously, it might arouse Wan Qianqian's suspicion. After thinking it over, she could only accept it, but she still wanted to struggle a bit: "Is Principal Lin willing to let people go?"

Wan Qianqian scoffed: "Why should that brute care so much? I'll sleep with whoever I want."

Su Yuxi lowered her eyes, her gaze darting around rapidly, and nodded slightly to her, which was considered an agreement.

After taking a shower that night, the two lay in bed. There was no signal on the entire island, and their expensive cell phones were now useless bricks in their hands.

Outside the window, the sea breeze howled, as if another heavy rain was about to come.

The weather at sea is so unpredictable; one moment it's a clear, starry sky, and the next it could be a raging storm.

The two lay on their sides, their eyes meeting. Su Yuxi looked at her best friend with clear eyes, feeling extremely conflicted, unsure whether to use her charm on her.

If you use it, it means you don't trust her, and it's a silent questioning of their friendship.

But the weasel spoke with absolute certainty.

Looking back on everything, it was all too coincidental. She couldn't eat or sleep until she got to the bottom of it.

"Xixi, what are you thinking about?" Wan Qianqian looked at her quietly, her face full of confusion, as if she was troubled by something. This girl had a little secret about her.

How can this be?

Su Yuxi snapped out of her thoughts, bit her red lips, and looked at her without hesitation. Suddenly, her deep gaze became as unfathomable as the sea, and her pupils seemed to be a huge vortex, spinning rapidly.

Wan Qianqian felt a wave of dizziness and blurred vision. Her smile faded and her gaze became vacant, as if something had entered her brain and was controlling her nerves. She struggled for only a few seconds before falling asleep along with that consciousness.

Seeing that it was almost time, Su Yuxi spoke gently, her voice as soft as the wind, coaxing her: "Qianqian, relax, don't be nervous. Just answer whatever I ask you, okay?"

"Okay." Wan Qianqian replied absentmindedly, at this moment she was like a puppet, without any independent consciousness.

She would say whatever Su Yuxi asked her to say, and do whatever she was asked to do. Even if she was asked to jump into the sea, she would not hesitate for a moment.

Why are you trapping me here?

A struggle flashed across Wan Qianqian's blank pupils, but she was no match for Su Yuxi's charm. She mechanically replied, "Because it's dangerous outside, I can't go out."

Su Yuxi frowned, puzzled as to why she said that: "What dangers are there outside? Who told you there are dangers outside?"

Wan Qianqian continued to answer blankly, "Fu Huaijin only asked me to come over, I don't know what danger it is."

Su Yuxi breathed a sigh of relief. Although she didn't know what danger it was, at least Qianqian wasn't lying to her.

After confirming her answer, she blinked twice, breaking the spell that connected the two of them.

The instant the connection was broken, Wan Qianqian's pupils contracted sharply, then quickly dilated, and finally slowly returned to normal. She then closed her eyes and went to sleep.

"Go to sleep, get a good night's sleep, and you won't remember anything when you wake up tomorrow."

Su Yuxi gently patted her back to help her fall asleep peacefully. She stopped when her hand got tired, and a little guilt rose in her heart as she looked at the sleeping person.

She lay flat on her back, her eyes fixed on the ceiling, a soft sigh escaping her lips.

Night deepened quietly, and as the storm outside gradually subsided, it was almost one o'clock in the morning.

Su Yuxi, lying on the bed, was like a clock that had been set. When the time came, she suddenly opened her eyes, turned around and lightly got out of bed, and went to the dressing room to change into a simple outfit.

Perhaps because it had just rained, she shivered from the cold when the sea breeze blew outside. She thought to herself, "Why can't we do this during the day? Why do we have to do it secretly at night like thieves?"

It was pitch black outside, so dark you couldn't see your hand in front of your face.

There's something wrong with it.

Su Yuxi rubbed her arms to warm her body and walked outside despite the cold. There was no internet on the island, so the surveillance cameras installed in the trees were practically useless.

As long as she avoided the bodyguards who patrolled from time to time, she could walk out as if she were in her own backyard.

However, unbeknownst to her, Lin Xiao saw Su Yuxi sneaking out in the middle of the night on the surveillance camera. He initially thought she just couldn't sleep and was just wandering around, so he didn't pay much attention to it.

Two minutes later, when I looked back, she had already walked out of the outer perimeter and was even moving further out.

His expression hardened, and he exuded an extremely low pressure. He immediately got up and walked outside.

As Su Yuxi was about to step out of the light, a smug look appeared in her eyes. She thought it wouldn't be difficult for her to get out.

Just as she was getting carried away with her triumph, a tall figure suddenly appeared and blocked her way.

Already feeling guilty, Su Yuxi was so frightened that her heart trembled violently. After seeing who it was, she was furious: "In the middle of the night, instead of sleeping in your room, you come out to scare people. Are you sick in the head?"

Suddenly, as if realizing that she had also been out in the middle of the night, her face flushed. She coughed lightly and said, "Well, I just couldn't sleep at night, so I came out for a walk. It's nothing, you can go back now."

Lin Xiao didn't move, his voice turning cold: "Go back."

He was already annoyed enough by seeing a young girl, and now she was out running around at night, clearly looking for trouble, so naturally he wasn't going to be polite.

Su Yuxi choked, moved her mouth as if to refute, but after thinking about it, she realized that her whereabouts had already been exposed, and it was unlikely that she could run away again.

To avoid alerting the enemy, she glared at Principal Lin, snorted coldly, and turned to walk back.

This also signifies that tonight's escape attempt has failed.

On the way back, she kept thinking about one question: she had been paying attention to her surroundings the whole time, so why hadn't she heard Lin Xiao's footsteps approaching? Was he a ghost? He walked without making a sound.

Once back at the villa and closing the gate, she suddenly remembered that she could use her charm, so she obediently ran back.

She pounded her head in frustration, wondering why she hadn't remembered it earlier.

Su Yuxi spat inwardly, cursing under her breath as she went back to sleep.

The next day, she took the opportunity to go out for a stroll again, but after yesterday's incident, Wan Qianqian kept a close eye on her and didn't give her any chance to be alone.

Unfortunately, she could only wait until evening.

This time she was smarter. They had orchestrated all those things to control her. The network malfunction was definitely fake. Everything about her was under their surveillance, which is why Principal Lin was able to discover her so easily last night.
