After Sī Yèhán finished speaking, he had the girl support his shoulders and helped her take off her tattered grass shoes, personally putting the new shoes on her.
After changing the shoes, her feet immediately felt soft and comfortable. Yè Wǎnwǎn hesitated and asked, “Um… why did you bring these?”
Lín Quē, from behind, spoke softly, “Not only that, there are clean clothes, skincare products, cosmetics, potato chips, spicy strips, lollipops…”
Yè Wǎnwǎn stared at the clothes and items in the other bag, feeling so touched that she didn’t know what to say.
Sī Yèhán said, “I rushed here, so I could only bring a random set. It may not be what you like, and if you don’t want to wear…”
Yè Wǎnwǎn immediately said, “How could that be! I love anything you prepare! I’ll wear it!”
After days of deception and swindling, Yè Wǎnwǎn managed to secure a single room and led Sī Yèhán inside to be alone.
In the end, only Lín Quē was left outside, listening to the big bosses endlessly recounting the misdeeds of a certain female boss these past few days…
“That female boss is really not a good person. You really should advise your boss!”
“That’s right! This female boss’s specialty is deceiving and swindling!”
“Yes, yes! Don’t believe us? Just ask the people around here. We’ve all been swindled by her these days!”
Lín Quē: “…”
Damn, he hurried over here so anxiously, worried about her safety, but what was the point…
On the other side, as soon as the two entered the room, before Yè Wǎnwǎn could say anything, she was forcefully embraced.
This hug clearly conveyed all the owner’s pent-up unease and panic.
Yè Wǎnwǎn hurriedly patted the man’s back with her small hand and said, “I’m sorry. I should have given you a signal earlier, but I’ve only been on the island for a short time, and I didn’t want to notify you without understanding the situation first…”
Sī Yèhán replied, “As long as you’re okay.”
“I’m fine, look at me, I’m perfectly fine,” Yè Wǎnwǎn said somewhat helplessly. “Why did you come running here so recklessly? It’s too dangerous. What if something happened?”
Sī Yèhán stated firmly, “Nothing would have happened.” Even if it was a hypothetical scenario, he wouldn’t allow it.
Moreover, if there was any danger, he had even more reason to come.
“Alright, alright, nothing would have happened!” Yè Wǎnwǎn kissed the man’s cheek to reassure him, then briefly explained the situation on the island.
“From my investigations these past few days, this island is indeed a place where all the big bosses are imprisoned. It’s in the middle of the sea, there are no signals on the island, and due to the dangerous terrain, there are no shipping routes nearby. It’s completely isolated and impossible to discover.
When people are dumped on this deserted island, it’s like being thrown into a sea-bound cage. Even if they have extraordinary abilities, there’s no way to escape.”
Yè Wǎnwǎn sighed, “And I found out that after these big bosses were brought here, they were left to fend for themselves on this island, without anyone supervising them. We can’t even see a ghost, let alone the mastermind behind it all.
I just can’t figure it out. The mastermind brought so many important big bosses from independent states here, didn’t interrogate them or do anything, just locked them up like this. What’s the purpose?”
Sī Yèhán’s eyes flickered slightly as he asked, “None of you have seen the person behind this?”
Yè Wǎnwǎn nodded, “That’s right, there’s no one on this island to keep watch. Why do you ask?”
Sī Yèhán didn’t reveal what he had in mind and simply said, “It’s nothing.”
