The boat docked at the reception port of the small island.
Mei Shu and Jiang Hai went down first.
The other two followed closely behind.
The man named Ah Chen gave Mei Shu a very uncomfortable feeling.
Subconsciously, she positioned herself on the other side of Jiang Hai, blocking the man’s line of sight.
“You are today’s guests on the island. If you need anything, you can contact me by phone or use the call service buttons scattered around the island. We will be there for you immediately. Now, it’s your own time. Please enjoy your time on the island,”
the staff said before opening the gate.
After exchanging a glance with Jiang Hai, Mei Shu and he walked through the gate together.
As soon as they set foot here, Mei Shu felt relaxed and wanted to stretch.
It’s no wonder that even with a murder case, so many people are eager to come here for vacation.
The scenery on the island was indeed extraordinary.
The lush greenery, the fresh air, each step forward felt closer to nature.
Without extensive modern technological modifications, it was an authentic forest. Walking through it, one could hear rare bird calls and insect sounds from the city. The verdant grass grew waist-high, yet it didn’t feel tedious. Instead, it added a sense of charm to the place.
Jiang Hai walked ahead of Mei Shu, whispering, “Miss Mei, you need to be careful with that man. For safety, it’s best not to leave my sight.”
Mei Shu gave him a reassuring look. “Don’t worry, as long as we don’t encounter those thugs with guns again, no man is too much for me to handle.” Only then did Jiang Hai reluctantly agree.
The four of them soon arrived at a mansion.
Xiao Yuan let go of Achen’s hand and went to the villa’s entrance. “Ah Chen, let’s stay here. From our room, we can see the scenery of the island.”
With one hand in his pocket, Ah Chen politely pointed to Mei Shu, pretending to be a gentleman. “Let this lady choose first; I’m fine with wherever I stay.” Jiang Hai stepped forward and said, “My sister and I want to stay by the sea. We’ll leave first. Goodbye.”
With that, he half-shielded Mei Shu’s shoulder, leading her away from their sight.
Once they entered the villa closest to the seaside, Jiang Hai removed his hand from Mei Shu’s shoulder with a look of apology. “Sorry, it was just for the situation.”
“It’s okay.” Mei Shu shrugged it off. “Let’s go upstairs and take a look.”
“Sure.” Jiang Hai followed her, and they went straight to a balcony on the top floor.
From this position, they could see the rear of the island.
Mei Shu carefully examined the photos and quickly identified the location where the pictures were taken.
She pointed to one of the landmarks. “Look here, it’s exactly like in the photos.”
Jiang Hai hurried over to confirm. After making sure, he took out a map he had prepared in advance and circled a spot with a red marker. Then he said, “Shall we go and see now?”
Mei Shu nodded.
Since it was difficult to locate from hotels, they decided to backtrack and see exactly which hotel could be seen from this angle.
Unexpectedly, as soon as they went downstairs, they found that Ah Chen and Xiao Yuan arrived uninvited and were leisurely drinking wine in the living room on the first floor.
Mei Shu frowned, her face turning unpleasant. “Who let you in?”
Achen immediately stood up, lifting the wine glass in his hand towards Mei Shu. “Miss, care for a drink?”
“Not interested. This is our place. Please leave immediately,” Mei Shu said bluntly.
If it were outside, she might have ignored the offense considering it was a public place, but being invaded into their private space, Mei Shu felt no need to tolerate him any longer.
To her surprise, the man didn’t show any anger. Instead, he smiled even more cheerfully. “I know you’re blaming us for intruding, but at the moment, there are only four of us on the island. It’s not suitable for you and your brother to stay alone in the room. Why don’t you join us and have a picnic in the yard? How about that?”
Mei Shu walked down the stairs and stood in front of him, a contemptuous smile curling her lips. In a voice only the two of them could hear, she said, “Don’t think I don’t know what you’re thinking. Let me tell you, it’s best for you to stay away from me. I’m not interested in you. If you don’t listen, I will make you regret it.”
The man’s expression changed momentarily, but he quickly burst into laughter. “Look, you’ve misunderstood me. Xiao Yuan and I are lovers. How could I be interested in any woman other than her? Wouldn’t that be the biggest injustice to our relationship? Relax, everyone is here to have fun. It’s better to enjoy the acquaintance than to worry about it, don’t you think?” As he spoke, he offered the wine glass to her again.
Mei Shu glanced at it lightly before retracting her gaze. “You better not have lied. Otherwise, you’ll regret coming to this island..”
