"Yaru, you don't need to be in such a hurry. Since they've hidden your father on this island for almost 20 years, it means your father is certainly of great use to them."

"But now they know their target is completely exposed. If that's the case, will they silence my father?"

"No, they just want to blow up the island, but they can't be sure if we've discovered traces of your life on the island back then. So, all of this might just be their speculation."

"So, they want us all dead here so no one will ever investigate this matter, and this matter will forever remain a mystery, right?"

"Yes, exactly. But there's one thing they seem to have overlooked. They had people watching you this whole time and never took action. So why decide to blow you up now? If so, do you think their plan has changed?"

"If they always kept an eye on me, I suppose they were monitoring me or our Lin Family. I must have been an important link between the Lin Family and my father."

"That means they might now feel this link is no longer necessary, and rather than risk blowing it, they'd lose the link but not let anyone know your dad might still be alive."

"Who are these people? Why are they doing this?"

"I'm not sure, but as of now, we've at least managed that, so they shouldn't be able to do anything for the time being."

"But I feel that even so, our target is completely exposed. Once we land on the island, we must quickly take control of those surveilling us. Every minute they remain is a huge threat to us."

"Exactly, that's what I think too. So, capturing them should be the first thing we do after landing. I'll handle this, and once on the island, I'll arrange for you to hide at the old master's house, where you'll be well-placed."

"Do I not even need to go to the hospital?"

"Not for now. Until this is resolved, your situation is dangerous—don't forget the explosion just now."

Hearing this, Lin Yaru just nodded. The earlier explosion indeed left her heart trembling for a long time, and she still felt anxious even now.

For her, it seemed she had never truly experienced such events, but today's events caused her great pain and would be unforgettable forever.

"Yaru, I know it's hard for you to accept this truth, but this time, with advanced planning, we seemed to disrupt their entire pace. However, this is good; at least we can act more quickly."

"Are you really confident in dealing with these people? Who exactly are they? Where are they hiding? What's their real motive? We don't know any of these things."

"It's okay, we can slowly uncover the unknown just like we cracked the secrets they hid for over 20 years. So have faith, because with Anying's help, everything should be manageable."

Lin Yaru nodded firmly and finally rested her head against Ye Chen's chest.

At this moment, leaning against this man comforted her greatly, and hope gradually arose in her heart.

After about 40 minutes of traveling, the two speedboats finally docked smoothly at the shore.

From a distance, Ye Chen saw Guo Tao, waiting at the shore as if he had been expecting them.

Once ashore, Ye Chen quickly walked towards the old master.

"Old master, why are you here so early?"

"I worried, fearing something happened due to your hasty return and hearing the explosion from the other side earlier. I couldn't help but wait here. What happened?"

"The small island has been blown up. Had we been a few minutes late, we might never have made it back."

"Who are these people? How can they be so ruthless? It's as if they want you dead."

"Exactly, they never intended for us to return alive, and if we do, it might change many things."

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen just smiled slightly. To him, none of this was a concern.

He knew that some things were inevitable, and even if he wanted to avoid them, he might not be able to.

"Old master, I only have one hope now. During this period, Yaru must be well protected because her situation is very dangerous. I need to expedite matters to resolve this as soon as possible."
