Lu Anning looked at Bai Yue with confusion on her face. Brothers and sisters understand each other best, so she didn't doubt what Bai Yue said. But, he called her over just to tell her this?

"Just this, you can also tell my fourth brother Gu Feng, after all, he is the person in charge of the entire case."

Bai Yue smiled and said, "Of course, I didn't ask you to come here just for this. I just want to know how you got in touch with Gu Feng."

This question confused Lu An Ning, because she had never contacted Gu Feng on her own initiative. It was Gu Feng who brought people to find her at sea.

"Is this important?"

"Of course! I know that Tang Jingyuan was deliberately putting on a show to let you leave. So, I had my men prepare a boat with nothing on it for you, and I had the guards give you two bottles of water. Otherwise, do you think Rose would easily believe your tricks? No one has ever left that island alive before."

Even if Tang Jingyuan really broke up with Lu Anning, with Rose's personality, she would just kill him and throw him into the sea to feed the sharks, and be done with it.

Release him?

How is that possible!

"If you didn't want me to die, why did you go to the trouble of giving me two bottles of water?"

"Have you ever heard of seeing hope and then falling into despair? Isn't that more interesting than knowing from the start that it's a dead end? This is what I suggested to Rose. It would be boring to just shoot her. Wouldn't it be more exciting to watch you struggle in the sea, die of thirst, starvation, or get mauled by sharks? Of course, I'm even more excited to see how Tang Jingyuan will react when he finds out."

Bai Yue's only goal is to surpass Tang Jingyuan, step on him under his feet, and crush him into the mud so that he will never be able to turn over in this life.

Unfortunately, he failed.

"I've never figured out what went wrong with such a perfect plan? You had no chance to contact the outside world. So, how did you do it?"

Bai Yue has been analyzing this matter and finally attributed this uncontrollable factor to Lu An Ning. He must have underestimated this woman's ability.

"Do you still remember the ring Tang Jingyuan gave me before I left?"

"That ring?"

Bai Yue frowned: "It's obviously just an ordinary ring."

Lu Anning curled his lips. "It just looks like an ordinary ring, but actually, it has a microchip hidden inside. It can transmit a signal as long as there's sunlight. Gu Feng can naturally receive the information through the terminal server, locate my location in real time, and rush to support me as soon as possible."

"Impossible! How could that ring possibly contain a microchip? It's just a plain ring."

"He said it was a wedding ring, and you believed it. How could Jingyuan and I's wedding ring be just a plain ring?"

The more inconspicuous and simple something is, the less likely it is to attract attention. That ring was the latest positioning device developed by Tang Jingyuan and his team, but it was still in the experimental stage and had not yet been launched on the market.

Bai Yue suddenly realized something and collapsed into his chair, laughing to himself.

He actually thought that Tang Jingyuan had no chance of turning the game around no matter what, but he didn't expect that he would be able to turn the tide in the end.

"From beginning to end, I never managed to beat him once. In the last round, I even lost everything I had. It's ridiculous!"

Lu Anning sighed deeply. "You endured so much hardship while carrying out your mission as an undercover agent, and in the end, you ended up being blackmailed. That's the most ridiculous thing. Bai Yue, Jing Yuan never thought of competing with you for anything. It's you who can't get over the pain in your heart."

Bai Yue smiled bitterly: "You are not me, how can you understand how difficult it is for poor people to get out of poverty and turn over a new leaf."

Lu Anning looked at the depressed Bai Yue and pursed his lips.

She was indeed lucky, always meeting benefactors at critical moments, but that didn't mean she didn't understand the hardships of ordinary people. However, no matter how hard it was, it couldn't be a reason to harm others.

Ultimately, it's all because of greed.

Lu Anning didn't try to persuade him any further. Perhaps, one day, Bai Yue would figure it out on his own.

As she left, Bai Yue's firm voice came from behind her.

"Bai Lu will definitely come looking for you! She believes that you ruined her life, and she won't let you off easily."

Lu Anning didn't look back and walked out with firm steps.

As long as Bai Lu dares to show up, just come at me!

Lu Anning didn't react much to Bai Yue's news, but she kept it in mind. After some thought, she even wanted to use this to her advantage. Since her fourth brother was worried about not being able to find Bai Lu, the one who slipped through the net, she might as well take advantage of this...

However, as soon as she proposed this idea, it was unanimously rejected by the men in the family.

No matter what kind of environment Bai Lu is in now, it is a fact that she is hostile to Lu An Ning. Lu An Ning just jumped out of danger, and no one wants her to face any danger again.

"Bai Yue's two words alone are not trustworthy. Big Brother won't let you take risks again!"

"But, as long as Bai Lu isn't caught, no one can rest easy. She's like a ticking time bomb."

"That's not something you should be thinking about."

Now, even Gu Feng denied Lu Anning's idea.

"Little sister, let's analyze the current situation calmly. Bai Lu escaped from the isolated island. Even with her lifeboat, it's questionable whether she could leave the sea alive. Moreover, she still has to find a way to return to Kyoto. Now, everyone is looking for her. Can she really return to Kyoto alive on her own?"

Lu Anning fell silent. She had experienced the harsh conditions of floating on the sea before, and if she wanted to leave alive, she would have to rely on God's blessing. So, even if Bai Lu escaped from the island, her chances of survival were slim.

However, Lu Anning was always worried about that one in ten thousand possibility!

"Once she shows up, she won't be able to escape."

Gu Feng's firm tone dispelled the last bit of doubt in Lu Anning's heart. She shouldn't worry so much.

The task force moved swiftly. The day Tang Jingyuan and An Li were discharged from the hospital was the day Gu Feng and other local forces launched a crackdown. With lightning speed, they caught the entire gang off guard, leaving no one behind.

When Gu Feng sent a message to report that he was safe, Lu Anning and Tang Jingyuan were sitting in the restaurant celebrating their survival.

The days on the island were more like a dream, but Lu Anning always believed that one day he would wake up from the dream. The wine glasses clinked gently, and Lu Anning looked at the handsome face under the light, and suddenly his smile faded.

She said that she would settle the score with this man later.

"Tell me about it!"

"What?"

Tang Jingyuan was stunned. The atmosphere was fine just now, why did they suddenly turn hostile?

"What were you thinking at the time? You're going to send me away first, but what about you? What if Rose doesn't buy your tricks? What are you going to do? Do you know that when you said that, I almost believed it?"

Especially when he said at the end, 'From now on, just treat me as if I'm dead', even when thinking about it now, Lu Anning's heart still aches.

"Tang Jingyuan, we've been through so much together. In your heart, what am I?"
