The bright moon dominated the sky.
Lin Fan gently pushed open the door to the room.
He saw that Ning ngyao had not gone to sleep.
Instead, she was lying on the bed, looking over various maps.
"It’s the middle of the night, what are you still studying?"
Lin Fan watched Ning ngyao with a smile.
She had sent him back to the floor last night and had ignored him this morning.
He wondered if the young mistress had let go of her anger yet.
"Of course, it’s the map of Evil Island," said Ning ngyao without looking up, pointing to a small island on the map. "Today, I’ve already read the guides, and even went out of my way to ask a couple of old birds who have been to the island for details. Now, I’m pretty well-inford about Evil Island."
"Is a small island worth all this research?"
Lin Fan walked over curiously and looked at the dozen or so maps on the bed.
"Of course, do you think Evil Island is that easy to reach? It’s on the high seas, and there’s said to be pirates lurking around. The environnt near Evil Island is particularly harsh. Other than during high tide, the waters are full of hidden reefs which make it difficult for ships to dock unless you fly by helicopter. But that’s international waters, and no private helicopters are allowed there, apart from military ones."
Ning ngyao sat up while she spoke.
"Did you know? I obtained the most important piece of intelligence this afternoon. Three months ago, a mysterious person rented a yacht bound for Evil Island, and they didn’t hire a captain. The rental company’s surveillance footage had been wiped clean, but according to employees’ recollections, the person who rented the yacht was a woman, fair-skinned, not tall, and most importantly, she was wearing wooden clogs. Moreover, the yacht didn’t head straight for the destination; it first went to pick up soone from a seashore before setting off. The round trip took five days."
"That tifra should match up!"
This news excited Lin Fan trendously.
If his guess was correct, they must be the undercover operatives from the Jiujui Sect.
"So, don’t look down on won. When it cos to wisdom, I am not inferior to you."
Ning ngyao, full of pride, folded her arms and continued, "According to the data, the day after tomorrow is the best ti for high tide to land on the island. We have a five-day window. Counting one day for the round trip and another for diving, we still have two days to spare. The equipnt I ordered will arrive tomorrow afternoon, and everything can proceed according to plan."
"Yes, yes, Mr. Ning’s wisdom is truly extraordinary, and I am thoroughly impressed," Lin Fan said as he looked at Ning ngyao with a smile.
As Ning Zhenyue had said, her smile at that mont was full of confidence.
This was the true value of presence.
"Here is the equipnt list. I’ve procured everything I could think of. Take a look and see if anything needs to be added."
Ning ngyao handed the equipnt list to Lin Fan.
It included mini diving gear, outdoor tents, food, and dical supplies.
There were also sleeping bags, raincoats, magnesium rods, military spades, and so on.
And of course, there were drones and satellite communication phones.
However, it was unknown whether these electronic devices would work on the island with strong magnetic fields.
"Everything seems complete, not just for five days, but even a month with this equipnt would be no problem. Although lacking outdoor Divine Artifacts, I’ve already taken care of that."
Lin Fan laughed as he handed the list back to Ning ngyao.
"Outdoor Divine Artifact? What is that?" Ning ngyao looked puzzled at Lin Fan.
All these equipnt were recomnded to her by professionals.
She felt that they should be enough to deal with all outdoor situations.
"It’s this," Lin Fan said with a smile as he pulled out a long strip of square tin foil from his pocket.
At that mont, Ning ngyao’s face turned red.
She never imagined he would call such a thing an ’outdoor Divine Artifact.’
"Are you sick or sothing? I’m talking to you about serious matters; how can you behave like a rogue... I don’t want to use that thing with you in such a damned place!"
"It’s not for what you’re imagining; it’s for wilderness survival," Lin Fan said helplessly, with a wry smile on his face.
Today, Lu Feifei had also refused to believe it was for wilderness survival.
"Stop talking nonsense... Do I look like a three-year-old child to you? That’s for contraception, how can it be for survival!"
Ning ngyao gave Lin Fan a fierce glare.
This guy was simply talking nonsense.
"How can you say that, I’m telling you, this is a treasure, not only can it store drinking water in ergencies, but can also use optical principles to light fires as a concave-convex mirror, and it can even be used as an ergency lifebuoy. In short, this is the real outdoor divine artifact."
Lin Fan was focused on explaining the uses of the square object.
But Ning ngyao just rolled her eyes.
"Alright, I don’t want to listen to your nonsensical rambling anymore. Anyway, my equipnt is already sufficient to deal with any complex situation. We’ll make final preparations tomorrow, and we’ll set off at dawn the day after tomorrow, to land before the first high tide. It’s getting late, so let’s hurry up and sleep."
"Sure, I also have so things to do tomorrow."
Watching Ning ngyao dive into the quilt.
Lin Fan also smiled and lifted his blanket.
But unexpectedly, Ning ngyao grabbed the blanket into her arms.
"Big macho man, go sleep on the floor."
"Not again, the floor?"
"If you’re not sleeping there, I will. Anyway, I don’t want to share a bed with a snob like you."
"Fine, fine, fine, I’ll sleep on the floor. You really have quite the temper."
In the end, Lin Fan reluctantly pulled over a pillow.
And sorrowfully lay down on the yoga mat.
"Wait until we reach Evil Island, I’ll turn into the villain and use the outdoor divine artifact to settle you, letting you see what I’m capable of!"
...
Early in the morning, the sky was bright.
After breakfast, Ning ngyao went straight to the company.
From tomorrow, she would be away on a business trip.
She had to properly arrange her work.
As for Lin Fan, he took a cab straight to dicine King House.
He thought it was necessary to inform Zhao Jiaqi of the matter regarding the Jiujui Sect.
After all, she was part of the Dragon’s Teeth.
If during his absence, the Great Protector infiltrated Jiangning,
He definitely couldn’t allow her the chance to escape.
Soon, the taxi stopped in front of dicine King House.
Waiting at the door, Li Qiqi ran towards Lin Fan like a gust of wind.
"Lin Fan!"
Li Qiqi, leaping high, threw herself directly into Lin Fan’s arms.
Her happy smile was completely unguarded.
"How co you look so tired recently, don’t tell you’ve been staying up late working on recipes again?"
Lin Fan looked at Li Qiqi’s round face.
With so dark circles under her eyes, she definitely hadn’t been sleeping well these days.
"No way, I just slept a tiny bit less, that’s all."
Li Qiqi pursed her lips, smiling happily.
Being able to cook for the one she loved was her greatest pleasure now.
"Who’s there!"
Just as Lin Fan was about to tease Li Qiqi a few more tis,
He suddenly felt a stealthy killing intent coming from the direction of dicine King House.
His instincts made him look over, but he didn’t see any figures.
Yet the intense killing intent made him frown slightly.
Could it be that hidden within dicine King House was a killer?
This was too strange.
