Jia led a large group of people and left in a grand procession.
Fu Baili also said goodbye to Wu Fangming before leaving.
Wu Fangming was left alone sitting in front of the villa, which gave him a somewhat lonely feeling in the autumn wind.
Wu Fangming lowered his eyes, seemingly lost in thought.
A rustling sound came from the bushes in the backyard.
"Who goes there!"
The man instantly became alert, and his weapon was immediately ready.
"Xiao Wu, Xiao Wu, it's us."
Aunt Wu's voice came from not far away, and next to her was Chuanliu, who had been missing for many days.
"Girl!"
Wu Fangming's face lit up with joy, and his tightly furrowed brows finally relaxed.
Chuanliu, who had not eaten for several days, was extremely weak. His pale lips opened and closed, as if he wanted to say something but had no strength at all. His thin body seemed as if it would fly away with a gust of wind.
Wu Fangming quickly came forward, picked up the girl, and carried her back to the villa.
Aunt Wu quickly made some thin porridge and fed it to Chuanliu.
The girl collapsed from exhaustion and fell into a deep sleep.
"Aunt Wu, how did you find her?"
Wu Fangming voiced his doubts.
Aunt Wu looked at the unconscious girl with pity. "After you were taken away, I was terrified and hid in my room. After a long time, I suddenly heard a noise outside the room. I thought you had come back, so I secretly went out to see what was going on, and I saw Xiao Liu lying on the ground."
You have no idea how weak Xiaoliu was; she was completely unresponsive. I was so worried. Then, just as I was about to go out and get her something to eat, I saw a group of menacing-looking people walking towards us. I quickly grabbed Xiaoliu and hid outside the house.
"You mean Chuanliu suddenly appeared at home?"
"Yes, I was really surprised at the time. Was that why those people treated Kosode so badly?"
Aunt Wu seemed to recall the horrifying scene she had just witnessed: a living person dying right in front of her. She shuddered in fright, but the tragic image of Xiaoxiu before her death lingered in her mind.
Wu Fangming shook his head. "Don't overthink it. It's because of her."
Ultimately, greed knows no bounds, and Kosode's self-perceived "comeback" became the root cause of her downfall.
The two stayed with Chuanliu until very late, and only returned to their own room when Aunt Wu was already dozing off.
Wu Fangming sat by Chuanliu's bedside, reviewing everything that had happened in the past few days.
As reality overlapped with his memories, Wu Fangming felt somewhat down, his thoughts drifting back to before he arrived on the island.
...
"Brother Fang Ming, what kind of house do you dream of?"
A girl wearing a floral island-style dress and a large straw sun hat walks barefoot on the beach.
Her flowing hair swayed gently in the evening breeze, and her bright, expressive eyes blinked, captivating the man's heartstrings.
Wu Fangming walked behind her, wearing a floral shirt of the same color as the girl's.
He carried the canvas bag for the girl, walking slowly and steadily, a happy smile on his resolute face.
"Brother Fang Ming? Brother Fang Ming?"
The woman waved her hand in front of the man a few times, "What are you still standing there for? You big idiot."
She giggled, covering her smiling lips with her delicate hand.
Wu Fangming snapped out of his daze and chuckled, "The ideal house? It must be a copper-walled, iron-walled house made entirely of vibranium, impenetrable by tanks and bombs, and capable of absorbing energy for its own use."
The woman playfully hit him, the force more like a coquettish gesture. "Aren't you annoying? I'm being serious. My ideal house is right by the sea like this. We'll build a wooden cabin, watch the sunrise in the morning, and the sunset in the evening. We can also go beachcombing, catch hairy crabs, and eat octopus sashimi..."
She excitedly imagined, as if she could already see the happy scene of the two of them living here in the future.
As the girl jumped, the floral skirt created ripples.
Wu Fangming was immersed in happiness, enjoying his rare vacation and precious time with her.
Just wait a little longer, and soon they won't have to brave gunfire every day anymore, and they'll be able to realize their dream.
He wanted to protect her and cherish her for the rest of his life.
A woman was wading in the water by the waves, with a man beside her.
Suddenly, an infrared beam struck Wu Fangming's back, which the woman noticed immediately.
"Brother Fang Ming! Watch out!"
Wu Fangming immediately turned around and, following the laser beam, spotted the sniper hidden in the bushes.
The woman looked terrified and, without thinking, pushed him aside.
Little did they know that the sniper's real target wasn't Wu Fangming; the infrared beam veered towards the woman.
"Bang!"
At that moment, it seemed as if the world had fallen silent.
A black bullet pierced the woman's chest, and bright red blood bloomed tragically through her long dress.
The woman lay on the ground with her eyes open, dying before she could even say a final goodbye to Wu Fangming.
When Wu Fangming chased after him like a madman, the sniper had already disappeared.
When he returned home in anguish and despair, he found the WD investigation team waiting in the living room.
The WD Investigation Bureau told him that they had all the jobs he had previously taken, and according to international law, only death awaited him.
When they took out their task lists, Wu Fangming was stunned.
This information is only available to the management of the mercenary group you belong to.
The next moment, he guessed who was behind her assassination.
Once the rabbit is dead, the hunting dog is cooked; once the birds are gone, the bow is put away.
He never expected that the mercenary group he had always trusted could be so ruthless and heartless!
He was unwilling to accept this; he didn't want to die like this.
At this point, the WD Investigation Bureau gave him another option—Paradise Island.
This wasn't the first time he'd heard the name Paradise Island, but he'd previously thought it was just a rumor, since he'd never heard of anyone actually experiencing it.
But when this option appeared before him, he made the choice without hesitation.
He wants to live.
There are always more choices to have while alive than while dead.
So he boarded the ship on his own initiative.
As the cabin panel slowly lowered, a playing card representing the "10 of Spades" came into view.
Paradise Island, is it? He's here.
...
Lost in thought, Wu Fangming came to his senses and stared at the woman on the bed.
Chuanliu's long eyelashes covered her face, and she breathed quietly like a baby, her originally fair skin appearing even paler and weak.
He thought to himself, "I must take the girl to exercise when I have time."
With that small frame, it's obvious that it doesn't see the sun often. How will it survive on Paradise Island?
Although the two haven't experienced life-or-death separations, they've been through so much since arriving on the island, and the bond between them is growing stronger and stronger invisibly.
A thought silently sprouted in my mind:
This time, he was determined to protect her.
Just then, Chuanliu slowly opened his eyes and drank the water that Wu Fangming handed him before speaking, "I'm sorry to have troubled you, Brother Fangming."
