"That's good to hear, I've always known a talent like you would have no problems wherever you go. Oh, have you eaten yet? If not, I'll go get you something to eat."

"No need, I've already eaten at the hospital cafeteria on my way here. The food there is quite good, so I usually eat first before coming back. This way, I won't trouble you."

"Oh, is that so?"

Ye Chen had actually rushed over in a hurry, hoping to sit down and share a meal with Lin Yaru.

These past few days, though Ye Chen had been eating quite well in the cafeteria, he always felt something was missing around him.

Now, he slowly realized that it was Lin Yaru's company he was missing.

Before, when he used to dine with Lin Yaru, it happened quite often, so he had grown accustomed to and liked that lifestyle.

"Why, haven't you eaten yet?"

"No, I just came from the company. I didn't go upstairs for dinner tonight. I thought you would be back, and I could eat with you. But it's fine, I'm not hungry right now. If I get hungry later, I'll just make some instant noodles."

"That won't do. If you'd like, I could prepare something for you in the kitchen."

"No, don't bother, don't prepare anything. Come sit down, let's just talk here, that will be enough."

As he spoke, Ye Chen gestured towards the living room sofa. This time, Lin Yaru didn't refuse; she just nodded her head and walked over, smiling at Ye Chen.

"What is it? Whatever you want to say, just say it."

"I see your mood seems to have temporarily recovered, right?"

"What else can I do? Shadows must be walked out of. I can't always be trapped in painful memories. I have to look forward and develop in new directions."

"Right, that's what I wanted to hear. If that's the case, then I can truly be relieved to go ahead with other things. However, you don't need to worry about our plan to land on the island; it's progressing simultaneously. Without any accidents, in about 7 days, the island landing plan should be detailed out. Then, I'll discuss it with Anying to set foot on the island together."

"It's okay, a day or two won't make a difference. After all, it's been over 20 years."

"Heh, if you can say that, then of course that's best. A stone I've been carrying in my heart can finally be put down."

After saying this, Lin Yaru seemed to suddenly realize something. She leaned forward, drew close, and took a deep breath on Ye Chen's body.

"Why is there such a strong scent of perfume on you?"

"Is there?"

If Lin Yaru hadn't mentioned it, Ye Chen really would not have noticed it.

He hurriedly stood up and sniffed at his arm, and sure enough, there seemed to be a faint scent of perfume. But if you didn't smell closely, you wouldn't notice it at all. It seemed that this woman's nose was very sensitive, especially to scents like perfume.

"It's probably the scent left from being with President Jin today."

"President Jin, which President Jin?"

"A woman named Jin Ling. She called me to her office today, saying she wanted to install some security equipment in her office, so I spent a while in her room. I did notice her perfume. I suppose it must have rubbed off on me then."

"Oh, I see."

"What, thinking too much? Let me tell you, that Jin Ling is not a simple woman. Although she is indeed very beautiful and charming, I can vaguely sense that she may be related to this matter."

"You mean, that she might be the one behind these incidents?"

"Yes, I suspect it has something to do with Jin Ling. Even if it's not her, there must be some connection. At the very least, she definitely knows about this matter."

"But don't you find it strange that a woman would install such equipment in their room?"

"Yes, to this day, I haven't fully wrapped my head around it. It all seems so far-fetched. She just told me that she handles the company's human resources management, which involves some confidential files."

"Confidential files can just be locked in a safe, can't they? Why insist on installing a camera in her room?"

"I'm not sure, which is why I feel that woman's actions are somewhat strange."

"Let it be, after all, this is your company's business and has nothing to do with me. Just be cautious in everything."

"Don't worry. What haven't I been through? How could anything happen to me?"

"Sigh, speaking of which, I suddenly remembered something. This afternoon, coming out of the hospital, I noticed two foreign women sitting at a coffee shop across the street by the window."

"Blonde, blue-eyed foreign women?"

"Yes, exactly. When I came out, I saw their eyes were on me. But when I looked again, they had vanished."

"Vanished, just like that?"

"Yes, just in the blink of an eye. I don't know how fast they are, but when I looked over, they were gone."

Hearing this, Ye Chen nodded slightly. He began to suspect that these people were ill-intentioned.

Their sudden appearance at this time definitely had to be connected to something.

Could it be that those people had already quickly tracked to this city? They had only been in the city for a few days, and they had already reacted this quickly. Indeed, their capabilities were not to be underestimated.

"Remember, no matter when or where you encounter these people, make sure not to panic. Also, do not walk alone at night. When you're on the night shift, just stay in the hospital and don't go anywhere else."
