Ye Xiu looked frustrated. Hadn't they agreed to go to the Ye family's old house in Nanyang? He had gone through so much trouble to follow Lin Jiu to such a desolate island, and now why was he saying no?
"Xiao Jiu, we agreed that since I went through so much trouble to find you..." Ye Xiu suddenly stood up and closed the laptop screen in front of Lin Jiu.
Lin Jiu raised his eyes, his gaze filled with sinister intent.
"Xiaojiu, no matter what happens, don't forget that I am on your side. When you encounter difficulties, I will be the first to stand up and help you solve your problems."
"Okay, then if you help me solve one of my problems now, I will go to Nanyang." Lin Jiu turned on the laptop screen. The progress bar on the screen had reached 100%, and a map popped up instantly. Several locations were marked with red crosses on the map.
"Xiaojiu, I knew you were in trouble." Ye Xiu quickly moved closer to Lin Jiu and looked at the screen. "What is this? A map?"
Lin Jiu tapped a few times on the keyboard, and the map on the screen continued to zoom in. "Help me find someone."
"Huo Shen?" Ye Xiu didn't know why he blurted out this name.
Lin Jiu breathed a sigh of relief. "You're smart. Get ready and we'll set off immediately."
Lin Jiu hit the Enter key, and all traces of her use of the computer were automatically destroyed.
"You, Xiaojiu, you are injured!" Only then did Ye Xiu see the gauze on Lin Jiu's neck.
"It's nothing, I cut it myself." Lin Jiu stood up and walked out of the room, preparing to say goodbye to the little boy and his mother.
"Who would believe that I cut my own neck? It's not like I wanted to commit suicide." Ye Xiu muttered to himself dissatisfiedly, then followed Lin Jiu to say goodbye to the little boy and his mother.
"Girl." The little boy's mother handed Lin Jiu a medicine box. "Here are some medicines to disinfect wounds, enough for a week. Also, the reason you fainted this time is not malnutrition. Be sure to go to a big hospital for a checkup when you have time."
"Thank you, Auntie." Lin Jiu patted the little boy's head. "You are very talented. I will contact you on the dark web after I finish dealing with this matter, Bingren."
Ye Xiu followed Lin Jiu out of the clinic. It was already dark and a light drizzle was falling.
Lin Jiu put on the hood of his sweatshirt and walked into the alley.
"Xiaojiu, I love the alleys when it rains the most. Holding a red umbrella, how romantic it is!"
Lin Jiu didn't know why, but he really wanted to confront Ye Xiu, but when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back.
Suddenly, she felt something blocking her head and looked up to see a red umbrella.
Ye Xiu stood beside her and held an umbrella for her.
"Where did you get the umbrella?"
"The aunt at the clinic gave it to me just now. See, she knows me very well."
"Childish." Lin Jiu pulled his hood and buried most of his face in the shadow of the hood.
Ye Xiu didn't say anything else, he just held the umbrella for Lin Jiu and followed her wherever she went.
Suddenly, Lin Jiu's cell phone rang.
It was a message sent to her by Si Yun, telling her that the manager of a store on the island had found out that a group of strangers had been entering and leaving an abandoned factory on the island a few days ago.
The address sent was the same as the location marked by Lin Jiu.
Lin Jiu suddenly stopped and said, "Put away the umbrella. We're almost there. Red is too conspicuous."

Nameless Island Clinic
The little boy sat in front of the computer and opened the dark web. He was particularly looking forward to the big sister called Xiaojiu to send her a message on the dark web as soon as possible.
Suddenly, there was a loud noise and the door of the clinic was kicked open.
A man wearing a mask and a brown windbreaker stepped over the collapsed door of the clinic.
