The man chuckled softly.

The next moment, Mei Shu bumped into his shoulder and left expressionlessly. Jiang Hai followed closely behind, also giving the man a warning look.

The man returned to the sofa with his glass, pulling the obedient Xiao Yuan into his arms and forcefully kissing her.

They kissed passionately, lost in each other, until the woman couldn’t catch her breath anymore, and the man finally released her.

Ambiguous saliva connected their lips like a thread.

The man, looking determined, glanced in the direction where Mei Shu had left, “You’ve taken a liking to that man, haven’t you?”

Xiao Yuan nestled obediently in his embrace, raising her hand gently to stroke the man’s chin, “And you’ve taken a liking to that Miss Mei, haven’t you?”

The man suddenly grabbed her hand, which was wandering on his face, and smiled cunningly, “The old routine, tonight you seduce that man, and I’ll find the woman, how about it?”

“Okay, we’ve never failed before.”

The woman’s smile became even more charming, as if she were already fantasizing about herself and Jiang Hai engaging in an intense battle in bed.

In the forest of the small island…

Jiang Hai followed Mei Shu’s footsteps, once again reminding her, “Miss Mei, the identity and purpose of that man are still unclear. You must be extra careful, never eat anything he gives you, and never leave the villa alone. If I fail to protect you again this time, I will directly apologize to Master Si with my life.”

Mei Shu stopped in her tracks, looking somewhat surprised at him, “Ah Si isn’t unreasonable. Why are you so afraid of him? Or rather, why are you so loyal to him?”

In an instant, Jiang Hai’s gaze became distant. He lowered his head, letting his bangs cover most of his face, as if it could hide his thoughts.

A gentle yet firm voice sounded beside her.

He said, “Master Si is the benefactor of me and Jiang He. I vowed to be loyal to Master Si for my entire life, never to betray him.”

Mei Shu turned her head to look at the electronic screen beside him, where it was written that this person had once been starving and wandered like a stray dog until his life improved after following Lu Si.

It seemed that what he said about saving his life should be related to this.

Presumably, the real situation at that time must have been more painful than the simple introduction provided by the system, to make the two of them swear in their hearts a vow sufficient to bind themselves for a lifetime.

As they chatted, they arrived at the location circled on the map earlier.

Mei Shu stood by the seaside, listening to the sound of the waves crashing against the rocks. Suddenly, her heart felt heavy. “That year, Lu Si’s parents happily came to this island, but they didn’t expect a disaster waiting for them, causing them to lose their lives together.”

Jiang Hai tilted his head to the left, looked towards the direction of the villa, adjusted his angle, and then looked towards the distant shore, “Miss Mei, it should be in that direction.”

Mei Shu took out her phone, aimed it in that direction, and kept enlarging the image until she saw the name of a hotel.

“Luo Huai.”

This hotel was originally within Mei Shu’s search range, but because the people behind this hotel were too special, she didn’t want, nor dared, to search it first. Jiang Hai noticed her pale complexion and asked with some concern, “Miss Mei, things seem to have become more complicated. Shall we report to Master Si first?”

Mei Shu raised her hand to stop him, her eyelashes trembling slightly, “No, don’t tell Ah Si about this for now. Even if he asks, don’t tell him anything. Just tell him we haven’t found anything on the island.”

Jiang Hai sighed softly, looking towards the direction of the hotel once again, his sigh fading into the wind, “Luo Huai, that’s the name Master Si’s father personally chose back then. The hotel was bought by the Lu family and gifted to Ms. Su Huai. Whenever they went on vacation, they would stay here.”

Mei Shu’s expression turned solemn, “If the photo was really taken from there, the Lu family wouldn’t be unaware. It also means that apart from us, there are likely others who know more about the details of that accident. I still don’t know the identity of the photographer, but his purpose should be clear, wanting me to continue investigating and uncovering the truth of that year.” “If someone really knows the details, why hasn’t anyone pursued it all these years?” Jiang Hai asked puzzled, “That accident caused both the Lu and Su families to lose two capable heirs simultaneously, causing immeasurable losses to both families. They were supposed to keep investigating until they found the truth.”

Mei Shu pondered silently for a while, “Let’s first find the cliff where Ah Si’s parents had the accident. I want to know if we can see Luo Huai Hotel from that location.”

“Okay.” Jiang Hai had done detailed investigations before coming here. Even though most of the details about the case had been deleted, he could still find some clues through his own channels.

Under the scorching sun, the two of them walked to the mountaintop, sweating profusely..
