"Yes, there's some progress. Ayi brought back news," Qiu Hu didn't say much. She called everyone in the room together.
The three, who had been cooped up at home for too long, perked up when they learned that things seemed to be progressing. These past few days, Qiu Hu hadn't let them touch these things, fearing they might expose themselves, since someone was watching them.
"Ah Yi, you tell us!"
"Okay, let me tell you. What I'm about to say might surprise everyone here. I haven't been here for the past few days because I've been following Lin Ning."
Ayi has exceptional reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance abilities; he tracked Lin Ning without the other party noticing at all.
"Lin Ning? Sister Yi, why are you following my brother?" Zhao Shi had always trusted Lin Ning and asked, puzzled.
“Little brother, you might not believe what I’m about to say even more,” A-Yi said, looking at Zhao Shi’s expression of complete trust in Lin Ning, feeling a pang of pity.
"My old friend's son?" Qiu Jing asked curiously.
"Yes, you may not believe it, but it's true."
Ayi put on a serious expression, no longer acting like before, and continued, "I've been following him these past few days, and he's still wandering around the island as usual. A child accidentally spilled juice on his trouser leg, and he glared at the child fiercely until the child cried. Only when the child's parents came looking for him did he put on that refined expression."
After saying that, he looked at Qiu Hu and said, "Ah Hu, I think our Lin Ning from before was all an act."
Qiu Hu: I told you so.
Lin Ning was someone they met when they were studying abroad. She had been pursuing Qiu Hu for a long time, and as a result, she also treated A Yi, who was by Qiu Hu's side, very well.
"Afterwards, the child's parents came, apologized to him, and left. During that time, he received a phone call from someone he knew, who seemed relaxed."
"Later, Ah Hu asked me to search his room, so I went into his room and searched it when he was not there. I found a cell phone, but it was not the same one he used to answer calls outside."
"I copied the contents of his phone recording and then left."
"Later we found out that his phone had only one problem: he received several calls, including one from a foreign country, K country."
"You guys understand, right? Country K!"
Zhao Shi understood immediately; it meant his brother had betrayed him. He jumped up and objected, "Impossible!"
The couple at the table also began to persuade him not to react so strongly.
“But that’s the truth, Zhao Shi, you have to accept it!” Qiu Hu also advised Zhao Shi.
“He has the ability to judge for himself, and the facts are already in front of him,” Ning Yizhan said, looking at his future brother-in-law, who still had a bit of a childish air about him.
"But he was very good to me."
“But that doesn’t mean he won’t do it,” Ning Yizhan continued to criticize him.
After a long struggle, Zhao Shi reluctantly accepted the situation and decided not to waste any more time. "So what do we do now?"
He's not stupid; there's definitely more to the story.
“Alright, let’s continue with what’s next. I believe the Colin family has already infiltrated the area, and their goals are nothing more than two things: to find Dad and the antidote.”
"There's no cure for that poison. It was my first time making poison, and I only made one dose. How could I possibly research an antidote for a bad guy? I lied to him when I said I had an antidote, otherwise we wouldn't have survived this long!"
Everyone: ...A brilliant plan.
"But I bet he's about to die. He's really useless. After all these years, he still hasn't been able to develop an antidote," Qiu Jing muttered contemptuously.
"Alright, let's put this problem behind us; there's no solution." Qiu Hu stepped forward to take charge.
"What I'm thinking about is the next step: to lure the snake out of its hole. I don't know how many people on the island are watching us, or how many people outside the island are watching us, but this is the only step we can take so far."
Qiu Hu had considered simply driving Lin Ning away, but the trouble would never end, would it? Before long, Colin's men would come back with a vengeance, so it would be better to wipe them all out in one fell swoop.
How do we lure the snake out of its hole?
"This depends on Zhao Shi!"
"Okay, I can do it!"
Qiu Hu explained the whole plan to him, telling him to pretend he knew nothing. Because he was unhappy about being locked up by Qiu Hu, he started to escape and find Lin Ning, using Lin Ning to tell him about the current situation.
"I understand," Zhao Shi said, still feeling somewhat down.
“Go out tonight! It’s late at night, the time will be just right,” Qiu Hu said, giving him no time to feel sad.
"Wow, so fast? Okay!"
That evening, A-Yi ate dinner there before heading back, but on the way back, something unexpected happened...
Later that night, after his enemies gave him some more instructions, Zhao Shi went out. In the quiet of the night, he made his way to Lin Ning's room without any problems.
"Ding-dong, ding-dong," the doorbell rang for more than ten seconds before Lin Ning opened the door.
As soon as Lin Ning recognized him, Zhao Shi hugged him tightly, his voice tense, "Brother, I've finally found you."
Lin Ning was also quite surprised to see Zhao Shi. She pulled him away and asked in surprise, "Zhao Shi, why are you back?"
