In the evening, Lu Si picked up Mei Shu from work.

The two went to a nearby restaurant for dinner.

While waiting for their food, Mei Shu intended to mention her decision to go to Wendith.

However, Lu Si also seemed like he had something to discuss with her.

Mei Shu withheld her words, indicating he should speak first.

“I need to go to Hai City. There are significant issues with a project at the company there. My brother has been busy with his ongoing projects, and grandfather is getting older, so 1 have to go this time,” Lu Si explained.

Mei Shu, with lowered eyes, asked, “How long will you be gone?”

“Maximum one week. I’ll be back soon,” Lu Si replied.

Mei Shu nodded and handed him some documents, saying, “I’m going to Wendith. This is a list of suspicious individuals I’ve compiled. But I’ll need to investigate personally to know more.”

“No,” Lu Si refused directly, “Wait for me to come back, and we’ll go together. It’s too risky for you to go alone, and I’m worried.”

Mei Shu smiled, “I’m not a child; I can take care of myself. Moreover, Wendith Island just announced its opening time for this week. By the time you return, they’ll have closed the island. How can I investigate then?”

“Then I’ll have Jiang Hai accompany you,” Lu Si made a final concession.

Mei Shu sighed, “Fine, but I should be back soon. We can stay in touch by phone, and nothing major will happen.”

Despite the smile on Mei Shu’s face, there lingered a trace of unease in Lu Si’s expression. “Shu’er, reconsider. When I return, we can explore other ways to investigate.”

“There’s no need to go through so much trouble. It’s just right to go now.”

As they spoke, the dishes were already served.

Mei Shu took a bite of the dessert and smiled happily. “That settles it. Stop worrying; you know my capabilities. What could go wrong? Your only task is to keep an eye on Su Ling and prevent her from causing trouble for me again.”

Lu Si nodded silently, still feeling guilty, “Shu’er, I’m truly sorry. You shouldn’t be involved in my parents’ affairs, especially now, when we can’t move against Su Ling yet. You’ve suffered so much.”

“Let’s settle everything when everything is clear,” Mei Shu’s smile remained, and she ate another bite of dessert, radiating happiness.

Amused by her adorable expression, Lu Si took away her dessert, “Finish your meal first, then eat these.”

Mei Shu glared at him, then devoured her meal with even more appetite than usual.

A few days later, when Mei Shu was ready, she had Tang Mei book her flight tickets.

Lu Si had already left for Hai City, so only Jiang Hai came to pick her up in the morning.

Mei Yan clutched Mei Shu’s clothes, reluctant to let her leave, “Sister, you promised to come back soon. You can’t go back on your word.”

“Don’t worry, I don’t have much time to wander around outside. Of course, I’ll come back as soon as 1 finish my business,” Mei Shu rubbed his head and instructed him with concern, “Take care of Brother He at home, okay?”

“I understand, Sister.”

“And, make sure you finish the homework I assigned to you. I’ll check when 1 return,” Mei Shu added.

Mei Yan’s mouth twitched, and he withdrew his hand that had been holding her clothes, “Sister, you don’t have to say that.”

Mei Shu chuckled, bid farewell to her brothers, and got into Jiang Hai’s car.

They safely arrived at Wendith Airport.

As soon as they got off the plane, Mei Shu felt a warm, humid breeze hit her face.

Although Lin City was also near the coast, it couldn’t compare to Wendith, surrounded by the sea.

Jiang Hai handled the luggage, wearing sunglasses and a neatly tailored suit. He looked like a celebrity’s bodyguard, attracting many curious glances towards Mei Shu, as people tried to identify which movie star she was.

Walking out of the airport surrounded by onlookers all the way, Mei Shu was finally relieved when they escaped the crowd’s attention. She looked at Jiang Hai with some helplessness, “We need to keep a low profile during our investigation this time. Someone may be watching our movements from behind.”

“I understand, Miss Mei,” Jiang Hai replied seriously, “We’ve been discreet.”

Mei Shu pursed her lips and reached out to take off his sunglasses and put them in his pocket. “This way we can be more discreet.”

“Are the two of you here for a vacation? Where do you want to go? I can offer you a discounted rate for the fare!”

As the two of them were talking, a passionate shout sounded from behind.

Mei Shu turned around and saw a man in a short-sleeved shirt and shorts, smiling and trying to attract customers.

“We’d like to rent a car. Do you have any recommendations?” Mei Shu asked.

“Yes, yes, I do! Come, get in my car first, and I’ll take you to the rental agency!” The man knew they were potential customers when he saw how well-dressed they were, so he wasn’t about to let them slip away easily..
