After arriving on the island, a black luxury car personally took Lu Zhiwei to the villa located in the middle of the island.

A magnificent Gothic building comes into view.

The intricately carved golden gate opened.

Maids in uniforms and bodyguards in black suits stood in two rows, respectfully welcoming her arrival in the villa's courtyard.

"Welcome, young mistress."

The loud, unified voices made Lu Zhiwei's expression froze.

"Don't call me 'Young Madam,' I'm not your young master's wife," Lu Zhiwei emphasized.

A smartly dressed, imposing middle-aged woman stepped forward: "Young Madam, our young master said that the first woman brought to this island is the mistress of this place, and also his wife. I am the island's housekeeper, named Daisy. You can tell me if you need anything."

Lu Zhiwei gave the housekeeper a deep look; she had a harsh face and seemed difficult to get along with.

She didn't say anything and went straight into the house.

Daisy quickly caught up with her, introducing the room along the way: "Madam, your room is the master bedroom upstairs, and the walk-in closet is the first one on the west side. The bedroom is fully equipped with all the necessities, and the clothes, shoes, hats, and jewelry in the walk-in closet are all the latest seasonal styles..."

"I need a cell phone." Lu Zhiwei had no interest in the clothes or accessories.

All she needs now is a mobile phone to connect with the outside world.

Because she was unsure if the clues she left on Ruixi's tombstone would be discovered, and fearing that Luo Xiu would find out, her message was too obscure, and no one except An'an could understand it.

“Young Madam, there are no electronic products on the island, not even internet, so I’m afraid this cannot meet your needs.”

"Then how do you contact Luo Xiu?" Lu Zhiwei asked curiously.

What era are we living in? How can we survive without the internet?

Furthermore, she didn't believe there were no cameras on the island; where there are cameras, there must be internet access.

“We will have helicopters flying out every day to report to the young master. Ten kilometers away from this island, martial law has been imposed. No one other than Young Master Luo is allowed to approach the island at will. Helicopters and speedboats are not allowed.”

Lu Zhiwei roughly understood the situation and didn't ask any more questions.

While Luo Xiu was away, Lu Zhiwei thoroughly explored the entire villa, inside and out, and then took a walk around the island.

Daisy followed her the whole way, but because she was older than Lu Zhiwei, she couldn't keep up with Lu Zhiwei's stamina.

She never expected that such a delicate young lady could walk so well.

I didn't feel tired even after walking all day.

“Daisy, I also want to go see the highest point on the island. Will you come with me?” Lu Zhiwei pointed to the highest point on the island.

That's the highest point on the island, offering a panoramic view and allowing you to observe any ships approaching the island.

Daisy stood with her hands on her hips, shaking her head repeatedly: "I can't walk anymore, young mistress. If you want to climb the mountain, you can do it yourself. I can't."

"Alright, I'll go by myself then." Lu Zhiwei left Daisy behind and climbed to the top of the mountain in one breath.

Standing on high ground, Lu Zhiwei could indeed see patrol boats constantly circling the island, all of them bodyguards under Luo Xiu's command, each carrying a machine gun.

If any outsiders try to break in, they will open fire and kill them.

After coming down from the mountain, Lu Zhiwei returned to the villa, took a shower, and then went downstairs for dinner.

Dinner was exceptionally lavish, featuring both Chinese and Western dishes, filling the table to the brim.

There are servants serving dinner; the steak is cut, the shrimp is peeled, and even the fish bones are removed.

Lu Zhiwei rested her chin on her hand, watching the servants bustling around the dining table: "I'm not without hands, why are you going to such lengths?"

Daisy explained with a smile, "The young master specifically instructed that your hands are precious. Since he's not here, we must take care of you in every detail without any mistakes."

"No need, I can do it myself." Lu Zhiwei was used to being independent.

She has no shortage of servants at home, but they have never eaten like this before.

Even Lu Anyu, she always taught him to eat by himself, without needing servants to chase after him to feed him.

If she continues to be served like this, she will become a useless person, even worse than her son.

"That won't do. If the young master finds out, we'll be thrown into the sea to feed the sharks." Daisy looked troubled and firmly refused to let her do it herself.

"Heh, that's something he'd do. But there are cameras here, so how would he know?" Lu Zhiwei deliberately probed, wanting to see if Daisy would reveal the truth.

“There are spies everywhere here, and someone will report to the young master at any time. You'd better not make things difficult for us.” Daisy, as expected of the head of the entire island, spoke with perfect discretion.

Lu Zhiwei put down her cutlery, immediately losing her appetite.

"Young Madam, what's wrong? Is the food not to your liking? Shall I have someone make another one?"

Daisy saw that she had put down her cutlery, alarm bells went off, and sweat poured down her forehead.

The young master instructed that the young mistress's food intake at each meal must be reported truthfully.

If she doesn't eat well, they will suffer too.

Lu Zhiwei noticed Daisy's nervousness.

"Send someone to inform Luo Xiu that I miss him and want to see him. If you go and inform him, I'll eat obediently." Lu Zhiwei picked up her chopsticks and fiddled with them in her hand.

“It’s getting late, the young master should be busy with official business and we shouldn’t disturb him,” Daisy said, clutching her apron.

"It's okay, he'll be very happy if you pass on this message." Lu Zhiwei encouraged her to go and deliver the message.

"Then you should eat well." Daisy finished speaking, then turned and walked out of the restaurant, sending a bodyguard out with her.

When Loshu received the message from the private island.

He was dealing with a mountain of official business in the study of the Luo family's old house.

Upon hearing that Lu Zhiwei missed him, he couldn't contain his excitement and put down his work to leave the study.

Assistant Eisen followed him downstairs: "Mr. Luo, the police have been focusing their investigation on the Luo family's businesses these past few days. We can't let our guard down. You can't leave now."

"She said she missed me." Luo Xiu's mind was filled with this sentence.

Lu Zhiwei had never said that to him.

“She said that on purpose. She doesn’t actually want to see you; she just wants to lure you over and ruin the Luo family’s big plans,” Eisen repeatedly reminded Luo Xiu.

Luo Xiu pursed his thin lips slightly: "I know."

Eisen: "I know you still..."

“Eisen, do you know how hard it is to hear those words from her? I might only hear them once in my life. Even if it's a dream she wove for me herself, I'd gladly enter into it.”

Luo Xiu walked with one hand in his pocket toward the helipad behind the old house, where private planes that could fly directly to the private island were parked.

Eisen was frantic, racking his brains for a way to keep Luo Xiu.

At that moment, the gate of the old house was violently smashed open by a heavy off-road vehicle.

The car drove into the yard.

Several burly men carrying guns got out of the car.
