After Jiang Qiao and Jian Ling finished their meal, they strolled out and, after finding out the location of the fish farm and the sailing times to the island, headed towards the fish farm.

Actually, the fishing grounds weren't far away, and in Jiang Qiao's opinion, the island was quite large, with many families living there, and it had mountains, water, and fields.

Last night it was too dark, and she wasn't very familiar with the area, so she assumed it was similar to the island where they were stranded last time. Little did she know, she was just making assumptions.

Jiang Qiao and Jian Ling separated halfway. Jiang Qiao was responsible for keeping an eye on the earlier boat, while Jian Ling went to check on the fishing grounds.

Dou Yanhua had taken a train yesterday and then got up early this morning to catch a bus and a boat, so she looked sleepy the whole time she got off.

Seeing Dou Yanhua, Jiang Qiao felt a weight lifted from her heart. It seemed her assessment was correct; this person really did intend to escape. She just didn't know what their next move would be.

However, Dou Yanhua seemed to be all alone when she came out, with no one to help her carry her luggage. When Jiang Qiao saw Dou Yanhua, she didn't move. She didn't believe that the people from Cobra would be so comfortable letting a girl come over.

Jiang Qiao crouched down, watching the passengers disembark one after another. She observed each person carefully, not missing a single one.

Among these passengers, one man caught Jiang Qiao's attention. He was in his forties and dressed like an old farmer, but his face didn't look like that of someone who toiled in the fields.

Jiang Qiao had the most contact with farmers who worked in the fields every day, because the hardships of labor and life left many marks on their faces.

The person in front of me clearly doesn't look like someone who does farm work, but his attire and the basket he's carrying on his shoulder just seem out of place.

Because the other person's posture was all wrong; the basket was spinning uncontrollably in the air, which clearly indicated that they were not someone used to farm work.

Especially the way the other person looked at him. As soon as he got off the boat, he looked around and then locked his eyes on Dou Yanhua in front of him. Obviously, something was wrong with this person. Jiang Qiao was very sensitive to people in the same industry. This man had been trained.

As for the others, Jiang Qiao had observed them. They were impeccable in both their attire and demeanor. The fishermen, who worked year-round, had chapped faces from the constant exposure to the sea wind. Even if their faces were bare, their appearances perfectly reflected their years of labor. The way they walked and carried things was also very much in line with their status.

After making the assessment, Jiang Qiao followed the group of people forward.

The man didn't interact with Dou Yanhua at all; instead, he followed the people outside. Jiang Qiao watched as Dou Yanhua went into a house.

She didn't pay much attention; as long as this woman was on the island, she was afraid the other woman wouldn't be able to find her. Following behind the man and seeing where he went, Jiang Qiao was stunned. Just who was this person? He went straight to the team; did this person know someone in the brigade?

The key point is that Jiang Qiao doesn't know whether the other party is friend or foe. To be honest, she can't understand why the other party is going there so casually. Is it to see an old friend?

However, before Jiang Qiao could figure it out, she saw the team members seeing someone off, pointing in the direction of the fishing grounds, and then she saw the man thanking the other person.

There aren't many people outside right now, and Jiang Qiao can't get close enough to follow them, so she can only pin her hopes on Jian Ling.

Sure enough, Jian Ling didn't disappoint Jiang Qiao's expectations. She had been wandering around the fish farm when, by sheer coincidence, she ran into that man.

Jian Ling was dressed very plainly, and more importantly, she was quite old, with several wrinkles on her face. Even though the man saw her, he didn't take her seriously. There were many staff members at the fish farm, and he assumed that Jian Ling was out on business.

However, if Jiang Qiao were here, it would most likely arouse the other party's suspicion.

Jian Ling came with a mission: to observe people. She could get a general idea of ​​their character with just a glance. The person she met clearly had a similar vibe to her.

The other person's eyes weren't on the fishing grounds, but rather on the surrounding area, but Jian Ling walked past without glancing to the side.

After the man turned into the fish farm, Jian Ling observed from outside for a while before seeing Jiang Qiao rushing over.

Seeing Jian Ling beckon to her, Jiang Qiao quickly went over and asked, "Did you see that man?"

Jian Ling nodded, and Jiang Qiao told her what he had seen, "Aunt Jian, I'm thinking of taking direct control of Dou Yanhua. What do you think?"

Jian Ling nodded. "It's good to control Dou Yanhua. With someone like that in our hands, those people won't act rashly. As for this man, I reckon he probably has other accomplices. Let me take a look first."

Jiang Qiao nodded, then handed Jian Ling a few sheets of paper. "Use whichever identity works best for you."

After taking the items, Jian Ling glanced at Jiang Qiao and said, "Be careful. We don't know the situation here, let alone how many of their accomplices there are."

Jiang Qiao nodded. "Be careful yourself, and try not to do anything. I don't know how these people managed to send people out; we need to investigate before we can say anything."

Jiang Qiao turned around and walked back. When she arrived at the house where Dou Yanhua had gone, Jiang Qiao's eyes lit up and she turned around and went to the old lady's house.

The mother and daughter had returned from their beachcombing trip, and the old lady was quite concerned about whether Jiang Qiao and the others had found the person.

Jiang Qiao shook her head. "I couldn't find out, and I don't know where the problem is. Anyway, there's no such name. It's really a headache."

Grandma, may I ask if there are any other people around here besides the fish farm?

The old lady nodded. "Of course there is. There's another island nearby, but it's not as big as ours. I don't know if someone sent it there."

"If you go there, you'll have to wait another day. Boats don't go that way every day, but there happens to be one tomorrow. If you want to go, my daughter can take you."

Jiang Qiao nodded. "We'll talk about this when my mother gets back."

Then Jiang Qiao started chatting with the mother and daughter, mainly to inquire about information and also to find out what kind of family Dou Yanhua had gone to.

When Jiang Qiao learned that the man from that family was the captain who sailed to another island, she suddenly understood.

"I saw a pretty girl go to their house this morning. I don't know if she's a relative or a family member."

The girl named Hua'er pursed her lips, clearly not fond of this family.

The old lady sighed, "The captain worked outside when he was young and knows more people than people on our island, so it's normal for him to have guests."
