"I don't know which side is over there. I only know that every newcomer who comes to the island will be sent to a place by the people of Tianlong Fort. Some people can come back, and some people can't."
The boy unconsciously lowered his voice.
Qin Yiheng's eyes darkened as he stared into his eyes: "How did you know?"
The boy said, "I saw it with my own eyes! I escaped to the edge of the cliff and just happened to see Steward Ji of Tianlong Fort leading more than a dozen people out to sea. One of them treated me to a meal and secretly put money in my pocket. He was taken away, so I went to the edge of the cliff every day to see when he would come back. But I waited for ten days, and everyone else came back, but he didn't."
After he finished speaking, the boy stared longingly at the money in his hand: "Excuse me, can you give me the money now?"
Qin Yiheng handed him the money: "What's your name?"
"Hei Zi." The boy was an orphan, nameless, and always dressed in black; everyone called him Hei Zi. "Can I go now?"
Qin Yiheng stood up: "You can leave now."
Hei Zi stood up, leaning against the wall. After taking a few steps, he suddenly looked back and saw two older men with their hands in their pockets, staring at him with sharp, piercing eyes. He was so frightened that he ran away from the alley.
After the boy left, Qin Yiheng and Gu Yunzhen looked away and each leaned against a wall.
Qin Yiheng asked, "What do you think?"
Gu Yunzhen parted his thin lips slightly: "The rescue is a ruse."
What then is truth?
Qin Yiheng raised a point of doubt: "When you were performing, I heard a man with a Hua-like face ask what kind of instrument it was. Would anyone not recognize the suona?"
Gu Yunzhen objectively stated, "It's possible that we don't know each other."
Qin Yiheng reasoned, "If the rescue was fake, then the people sent back must have been hypnotized, otherwise it's impossible for everyone to stay on this island peacefully. As for those who didn't return, they either stayed at headquarters to work or they died."
Gu Yunzhen nodded.
Qin Yiheng smiled, thinking, "I've searched high and low without finding it, and now it's right here in my hands!"
What are you planning to do?
They will definitely go; their goal is to destroy the Divine Messenger organization.
However, staying at headquarters is fraught with danger, so it is necessary to make some preparations before going.
Gu Yunzhen lowered his eyes and said in a low voice, "Since he said his valuables would be confiscated, it means the money is useful, but the amount given is too little."
"you're right."
Qin Yiheng looked up at the darkening sky, then patted his shoulder: "Thank you for your hard work."
Gu Yunzhen: "..."
For a whole week, Gu Yunzhen followed Qin Yiheng to every street corner to earn money by performing.
The reason for changing locations so frequently is to familiarize themselves with the terrain.
But every time Gu Yunzhen played the suona, Qin Yiheng could see those four people in the crowd: an old man, a middle-aged man, and two young girls.
Through Kuroko's investigation, the identities of the four people were revealed.
The old man's surname is Ding. He used to be one of the twelve stewards of Tianlong Fort. He retired five years ago. The middle-aged man is his son, named Ding Gang.
As for the two young girls, one of them was someone they knew, Martha.
The other one is Ji Tiantian, whose father is Steward Ji, one of the twelve stewards.
Each time the two girls came looking for her, they would put a roll of money in her hat, a roll of one thousand.
Once, upon returning to the hotel, Qin Yiheng asked meaningfully, "When is Wu Bao's due date? Will you be able to get back in time?"
Gu Yunzhen saw through his thoughts in an instant, her voice cold and clear: "Brother Heng, there's no need to test me."
In his eyes, there are only two kinds of women.
One is his wife.
Another type is outsiders who are no different from men.
Qin Yiheng raised an eyebrow and looked at him.
Although Gu Si is Lou Ge's younger brother, in this situation, he unconditionally stands on his cousin's side.
However, Gu Si knew what was going on, so he didn't bring it up again.
With him watching over things, Gu Si could break his legs if he tried anything reckless.
The following morning.
As Gu Yunzhen played, those four familiar faces appeared one after another.
Qin Yiheng couldn't help but marvel once again at the vastness of Gu Si's repertoire.
There hasn't been a single song repeated these past few days.
Especially when he played a war song, the crowd erupted in cheers, with many people shouting and clapping their hands in admiration!
There was an unexpected incident at the end.
Just as Gu Yunzhen was about to leave with Qin Yiheng, the old man suddenly fainted.
"Dad!" Ding Gang exclaimed in surprise.
Seeing this, Qin Yiheng reminded the onlookers, "Call an ambulance."
On the surface, he and Gu Si were still "unregistered" and had no communication devices. In reality, they had asked Hei Zi to buy them three cell phones, the cheapest kind. He and Gu Si had never even seen one, let alone used it. But the situation forced them to each take one, and they gave the third one to Hei Zi for convenience, which unexpectedly gained them a loyal follower.
Ji Tiantian, who was standing nearby, immediately called for an ambulance.
Before the ambulance arrived, Martha saw her brother Parker arrive with seven or eight patrolmen.
Parker pointed at Gu Yunzhen and Qin Yiheng: "Arrest them both!"
"Yes, Young Master."
The patrolmen rushed forward and arrested the man without saying a word.
Two words flashed through Gu Yunzhen and Qin Yiheng's minds at the same time: They're here!
But Martha suddenly blocked their way, looking at Parker in astonishment: "Brother, what are you doing? What did Lou Yi and Wu Jiazhen do wrong that you want to arrest them?"
Parker thought to himself: Their existence is a mistake!
"Hmph, isn't it a big deal that Uncle Ding fainted for no reason?"
Parker spoke with a straight face, glancing at Ji Tiantian secretly, and continued, "Little sister, you and Tiantian should go back to school. Don't go out wandering around all day without a reason. You're corrupting Tiantian!"
He absolutely cannot let this pretty boy continue to boast.
Sweetie can only be his wife!
His supposedly discreet gaze fell on Qin Yiheng, who glanced at Ji Tiantian without making a sound and suddenly realized what was going on.
Martha looked on in disbelief.
It was clearly Tian Tian who invited her out, so what do you mean she corrupted Tian Tian?
Seeing that she was still standing there dumbfounded, Parker glared at her and said fiercely, "Hurry up and leave!"
Ji Tiantian glanced at him indifferently, then took Masha's hand and left.
Parker's men escorted Qin Yiheng and Gu Yunzhen into a black minivan.
"They're not even resisting?"
Parker stood there frowning, regretting that he should have had the patrol beat the two men up before he spoke.
The ambulance arrived after they left.
Ding Gang went to the hospital with his father.
On the other side, Ji Tiantian pulled Masha to the street corner and stopped.
Martha was still sulking.
"My brother is so mean!"
"I'm sorry, Sasha, I made you get scolded by him." Ji Tiantian apologized to her.
Martha said angrily, "It's none of your business. My brother is crazy. He probably can't stand that Lou Yi and Wu Jiazhen are more handsome than him, so he just made up an excuse to teach them a lesson..."
"No way! I'm going back to tell Daddy, and I'll have him beat my brother up!"
Ji Tiantian's eyes flickered, and she pulled her aside, advising, "Sasha, doing this will only make your brother target those two people even more."
