Jiu Zhongnian was taken away by the prison guards.

Jiu Shiyi also left. He got into the car, feeling empty inside.

A short while later, he received an email from Yu Bingxue, reporting new progress on the project on the outlying island.

Jiu Shiyi suddenly snapped out of his daze and quickly replied to the email, arranging a time to return to the island.

He looked out the window and muttered to himself, "I did nothing wrong."

Whether he was a genius or not, he would live a glorious life. At the very least, after his death, there would be a grand farewell ceremony and a eulogy full of merit.

There are relatives and friends who are worried, and friends who shed tears.

...

After hearing about this, Jiu Yebai was quite impressed with Jiu Shiyi.

“He really went to see Jiu Zhongnian. Just for that, he’s good enough to be my brother,” Jiu Yebai said.

Jiu Nanxun said with heartache, "Little Yi keeps everything to himself and doesn't say anything. He's so sensible. We should care for him more, sigh..."

"Jiu Zhongnian is dead. Jiu Zhongjing is a miser. As long as he has the Jiu family's small fortune, he's quite content. Grandpa Jiu only had three sons, and all the good genes went to our dad. We should be grateful..."

Indeed, Hisaichi Mori and them were from completely different dimensions.

As she spoke, Jiu Nanxun looked up at the upstairs and pouted, "Why are my sister and brother hiding in the study again? Is there something we can't hear?"

Jiu Yebai glanced at her. "It's not that you can't listen, but that even if you did, you wouldn't understand it."

Jiu Nanxun threw a cushion at him, "What are you so smug about? Your older sister and older brother didn't call you, did they?"

Jiu Yebai retorted, "That's because I don't get involved, not because I don't understand. I have a lot of things to do."

Jiu Yebai was holding a computer, and he was indeed busy. He had recently been upgrading the electronic defense network of the island.

A moment later, the doorbell rang.

Since we're already inside the manor, we must know each other.

The maid went to open the door.

Jiu Nanxun peeked in and saw a cool-looking girl with short, ear-length hair. The first thing she looked at when she walked in was Jiu Yebai.

Kunan Kaoru: "Ah, your name is... Hibari, right?"

She remembered Lark; they had even been to the X Sea together, but they weren't very close and didn't have much time to talk on the ship.

Jiu Yebai suddenly looked up, nearly dropping his laptop! "You, you, what are you doing here?!"

The lark said, "I'm looking for you."

"What do you want from me?!" Jiu Yebai asked with a strong reaction.

Kunan Kaoru looked at Kuya Shiro strangely, then at Hibari.

Her second brother... why is he acting a little strange? The atmosphere between the two of them is also a bit odd.

"I……"

Just as Yun Que was about to speak, Jiu Ye Bai suddenly rushed over, carrying a computer in one hand and grabbing her with the other, pulling her upstairs.

Kunan Xun was even more surprised. What was going on?

Kuyabai ran back to the bedroom with Hibari in one breath and slammed the door shut.

"Who sent you?" Jiu Yebai threw his computer on the table and scratched his hair in frustration.

The lark stood in the room, his gaze slowly sweeping across every corner, a habit he had developed for his profession, but now he looked more carefully.

Finally, her gaze fell on the bed.

The gray bedding was perfectly neat, without a single wrinkle, and even the blankets were folded into neat squares, giving it a very obsessive-compulsive feel.

She couldn't help but glance at Jiu Yebai, the corners of her mouth slightly curving upwards, a small smile.

Jiu Yebai saw it.

She hadn't done or said anything, but her expression almost made Jiu Yebai jump up. "What are you laughing at?!"

The lark stopped laughing very quickly.

Jiu Yebai was the cleanest boy she had ever seen. His face was clean, his eyes were clean, and his room was clean. She really liked him.

Jiu Yebai quickly noticed that Yun Que didn't say a word, just stood there, his eyes wandering around, staring at his things, looking at each one for a long time.

Jiu Yebai felt as if his privacy had suddenly vanished.

After a while, Yun Que looked at a shelf with many figurines of various characters. There were a lot of figurines of a loli character, which were obviously from the same person.

She has a fantastic figure and always carries a large sword; clearly, she is the kind of person Jiu Yebai admires.

Following Hibari's gaze, Kuya Shiro also saw the figurine she had bought a long time ago.

His face flushed suspiciously, a hint of anger in his eyes.

He suddenly walked over, blocking the figures, "Don't let her small size fool you, she's a fierce killer..."

It was because of her overwhelming combat power that Jiu Yebai became particularly fond of her during that period, and he kept buying the official merchandise that the company kept releasing.

It's definitely not because she has a slim waist, big breasts, or is sweet!

Hibari looked at Kuya Shiro, and pursed her lips slightly, "I can kill people too..."

Very powerful.

However, Yun Que felt that this was not an advantage, and she did not want to use it to win Jiu Ye Bai's favor.

"Whether you're good at killing people or not has nothing to do with me," Jiu Yebai said.

The lark looked somewhat dejected.

Jiu Yebai ignored her expression and turned his head away. "Do you need something from me? If it's something you need to take responsibility for again, you'd better not say anything."

Yun Que's voice was quite pleasant, but flat and emotionless, making it impossible to guess whether she had something on her mind. "I have other tasks and can't come to see you for the time being. I wanted to see you before I left."

It turned out to be a farewell.

Jiu Yebai frowned, somewhat stunned.

When Lark goes on a mission, it will definitely be kept secret, and the duration cannot be revealed. This certainly means that she won't suddenly appear and say anything strange.

This is good.

But why did Jiu Yebai still feel something was wrong? He didn't feel very comfortable.

Just then, the cat suddenly knocked on the door, "Little White, open the door!"

Jiu Yebai was startled by the knocking. He looked at Yun Que, wondering how he would explain if the cat saw Yun Que in her room.

So, on a whim, Kuyabai pushed Hibari and shoved her into the bathroom.

The next second, the cat opened the door and came in by itself.

Jiu Yebai quickly closed the bathroom door.
