But now, she is half on the beach and half in the water.

The gentle waves lapped against the shore, as if playing with her.

It seemed to have completely forgotten what it looked like as a demon last night.

Yun Suiwan, exhausted, sat up and looked at the boundless sea before her and the unnamed island behind her.

She came back to life.

But it seems she was washed ashore on some kind of island.

It was so quiet that she could hear her own breathing.

Xiao Wu, Lin Zhibai, Shen Xinghui, and everyone else on the ship, are they all alright...?

She was a little scared, but not panicked.

She believed that rescue would come.

What she needed to do was to make sure she was alright before the rescue arrived.

She first washed her face with seawater, and after rousing herself a little, she began to look around the island.

At the same time, she recalled the map she had seen before going to Lili Island.

She remembered that all the islands in this area had names and labels; there were no deserted islands at all.

In today's booming tourism industry, deserted islands in the waters surrounding cities have long been treated as gold mines and developed into resort destinations.

Sure enough, when she climbed to a high place, she saw scattered houses, patches of flowers, and numerous pedestrian paths in the distance.

She breathed a sigh of relief.

"Who are you?" a crisp voice suddenly rang out.

Yun Suiwan turned her head and saw two boys carrying bamboo baskets full of flowers passing by not far away.

"I..." For a moment, Yun Suiwan really didn't know how to explain her identity.

“I know, were you blown here by the typhoon?” a boy said confidently. “I met someone who was blown here by the typhoon last year, just like you.”

Yun Suiwan gave him a thumbs up; he had guessed correctly.

However, she was a little curious: "What does 'like me' mean?"

"Just as pathetic as you."

Yun Suiwan: ...

"Do you need to stay at a hotel?" another boy said. "My family owns a hotel."

Yun Suiwan's eyes lit up. What was there to wait for?

"A hotel?"

The proprietress, who is 160cm tall and weighs 160kg, stood on the steps and looked Yun Suiwan up and down.

"The hotel only has the top suites left, 500 a night, 20% off for monthly subscriptions, pay in full upfront, no credit allowed." The landlady was quite straightforward.

“It’s not expensive,” Yun Suiwan said casually, “but I don’t have any money with me right now.”

"I'm sorry, I didn't bring any money. You'll have to find another place." The proprietress turned to leave.

“Mom,” the boy said, standing up for Yun Suiwan, “she was blown here by the typhoon, which is why she didn’t bring any money. If you don’t let her stay, she will have nowhere to eat and nowhere to sleep.”

"You brat!" the landlady snapped, "I'm running a business, not a charity. Everyone who was blown in by the typhoon is staying here for free. How am I supposed to support you?!"

"You wait."

The boy turned and darted into the house, emerging with a piggy bank in his hand.

"There's enough money in here to stay for several days." He stuffed the piggy bank into the landlady's hand.

The proprietress was stunned. "Wow, she's brought out all her savings."

“Sister,” the boy said, “you’ll stay in the suite on the top floor.”

Yun Suiwan looked at the boy gratefully, "I will thank you."

She wasn't trying to take advantage of anyone; she just desperately needed to take a shower, eat something, and rest.

Once inside the room, she picked up the phone and called home.

After a long while, the other end of the line finally answered the phone.

Hello, who is this?

"Aunt Zhang, it's me."

"...Young Miss!" Aunt Zhang was stunned for a moment before she reacted, and she was so excited, "Young Miss, we've been looking for you! We've been looking everywhere for you!"

As she spoke, Aunt Zhang's voice choked with emotion.

"I'm fine," Yun Suiwan reassured Aunt Zhang.

"Who are all the people who are busy looking for me?" Yun Suiwan asked.

“Young Master Lin, and Young Master Shen, but Young Master Shen is in the hospital; he's injured.” Aunt Zhang replied.

Lin Zhibai and Shen Xinghui are alright!

Yun Suiwan was relieved; after all, they were trying to help her!

She then confirmed that Da Wen and Xiao Wu were both alright, and breathed a sigh of relief!

"Oh, right," Aunt Zhang continued, "Young Master Lu has also come twice and asked about some things. It seems he's been looking for you quite diligently."

Lu Dongjue!

Where did he get the information from?!

He didn't go that day!

Why are you looking for her now?

“Aunt Zhang,” Yun Suiwan instructed, “I’m fine. Just give this phone number to Lin Zhibai and have him bring Dawen and Xiaowu to pick me up at the address provided.”

"Also, don't tell Lu Dongjue about this, and remember to tell Lin Zhibai as well."

Aunt Zhang agreed to all of them.

After hanging up the phone, Yun Suiwan relaxed completely. She needed to rest and recuperate, and was just waiting for Lin Zhibai to arrive.

...

Lin Zhibai felt relieved after learning the news.

He had just woken up on the rescue ship when he learned that Yun Suiwan had disappeared. His mind immediately went blank.

He would rather it was him who disappeared!

At least this way his family would worry about him, instead of the current situation where several elders are putting pressure on him...

Of course, he didn't want anything to happen to Yun Suiwan either.

"Young Master, it's confirmed. Here's the address." The subordinate handed Lin Zhibai a slip of paper.

Lin Zhibai glanced at it and didn't recognize the name of the island.

“It will take at least three days to depart from the nearest dock,” the subordinate continued.

Lin Zhibai was stunned for a moment, feeling quite sorry for Yun Suiwan.

Yun Suiwan was swept quite far by the sea.

She's lucky; if something had gone wrong along the way, things might be very different now.

Just as Lin Zhibai was feeling a wave of fear, several people walked in from outside, led by Lu Dongjue.

"Lin Zhibai, is there any news about her?" Lu Dongjue asked bluntly.

His information network is quite extensive!

Ke Yun emphasized on New Year's Eve that Lu Dongjue was not allowed to know her address!

The two of them had a fight, and the people around them were forced to get caught in the crossfire!

"I didn't," Lin Zhibai feigned ignorance. "Did you?"

His subordinate glanced at the note in Lin Zhibai's hand and was quite impressed.

The young master is indeed quite adept at lying through his teeth.

But Lu Dongjue wasn't stupid; he could tell at a glance.

Lin Zhibai was anxious and needed to find a way to destroy the evidence of the note in his hand as soon as possible.

Lu Dongjue is right in front of you; stuffing it into your pocket or throwing it in the trash would be too conspicuous.

He glanced at the fruit plate beside him, and on a whim, picked up an apple seemingly casually with the hand holding the note.

Lu Dongjue frowned: "I heard you went to the Yun family today. What did Aunt Zhang say to you?"

While munching on an apple, Lin Zhibai said, "Oh, Aunt Zhang asked me to make sure I find Wanwan."

"Is that really the case?" Lu Dongjue stared intently at Lin Zhibai, as if he had discovered something.

“Of course…” Lin Zhibai’s heart tightened, followed by a fit of coughing.

Oops, I accidentally bit the note.

His instinctive reaction was to spit out the apple he was eating.

Naturally, the note was exposed.
