"We're planning to hold our wedding on the island," Lu Lin smiled. "We'll take you there today."

Lu Ruchan didn't particularly enjoy crowds, but she was very willing to attend Lu Lin and Yan Heqing's wedding. She immediately asked the nanny to pack her luggage, but still wanted to make mint and mung bean soup for Yan Heqing. She asked, "It won't take long, won't it be too late to leave after we've cooked it?"

"Mom, I don't want to drink right now," Yan Heqing suddenly said.

Lu Ruchan immediately smiled, her eyes crinkling with laughter. "Okay, I'll cook for you when we get to the island."

Before long, Lu Lin set off with Lu Ruchan and Yan Heqing.

Lu Ruchan absolutely refused to sit in the passenger seat, so Yan Heqing stayed with her in the back. Lu Ruchan then muttered, "I want to sleep, you sit in the front—"

Before he could finish speaking, Yan Heqing leaned to the side, rested his head on her shoulder, and closed his eyes. "Mom, I'm so sleepy, let me lean on you for a bit."

Lu Ruchan fell silent, covered Yan Heqing with her thin blanket, and gestured to Lu Lin not to talk to her so as not to wake Yan Heqing.

Lu Lin knew, of course, that Yan Heqing wasn't sleepy. He smiled silently and drove quietly.

They arrived at the airport just in time, and after going through security, they boarded the plane.

The food was prepared in advance by Lu Lin. After eating, Lu Ruchan didn't rest. During the three-hour flight, she chatted with Yan Heqing the whole way, and her spirits were getting better and better.

The plane landed on the island's helipad, within walking distance of the villa, but Lu Lin Lu Ruchan had difficulty getting around and had a lot of luggage, so Lu Lin still arranged for a car to pick her up. While the servants were unloading the luggage, Lu Lin turned on his phone, and his assistant called immediately.

" President Lu, the police have taken Cheng Jian in for questioning. Cheng Qingyi pushed Zhao Weifang out to help his son get away with it, and now they're fighting like dogs."

The assistant is usually polite, but now that the other party has offended his boss, he has also lost his manners.

Lu Lin glanced at Yan Heqing, then walked a short distance to make a phone call, asking, "What's the situation at the hospital?"

The assistant's attitude became respectful. "The old man is still in the hospital and refuses to leave. He's called about twenty lawyers to the hospital."

After a slight pause, the assistant hesitated, "There's one more thing..."

"Tell the truth."

The assistant then said, "The old master also sent someone to the Lin Family. Since you didn't have a signal on the plane, I took it upon myself to have someone go with you. The eldest son of the Lin Family Lin Family is also hospitalized; it seems he's overworked and the hospital is forcing him to stay. The Lin Family's butler was also taken to the hospital. I had someone take a picture, but it's not very clear."

My assistant sent me a video.

Seeing Yan Heqing approach, Lu Lin remained expressionless. "Continue following up."

He hung up the phone and walked towards Yan Heqing, "All done?"

Yan Heqing nodded, "There's not enough room in the first car, so Mom will go first."

Lu Lin then took his hand. "Let's go over there."

The island isn't particularly big, but it's not small either. Lu Lin bought it and came fishing there once, while Xie Yunjie and Chu Ziyu have been there several times.

The previous owner had built the island very well, with a path leading to the villa along the coastline. You could hear the sound of the waves, feel the sea breeze, and vaguely see the town in the distance.

Lu Lin led Yan Heqing along the coastline slowly. "It's a fifteen-minute boat ride to the town on the other side. I don't like their foreign food, but the grilled prawns are pretty good. If you're feeling adventurous tonight, we can try them."

Yan Heqing shook his head, "Next time. Eating together as a family is the best thing ever."

Lu Lin said nothing more, only holding his hand even tighter.

What should have been a ten-minute walk took them half an hour to complete.

Lu Ruchan was already cooking mint and mung bean soup in the kitchen. She didn't let the housekeeper cook dinner; Lu Lin Yan Heqing each cooked a few dishes, putting together a sumptuous meal.

The doctor, nanny, and island keeper ate in another small dining room. The three of them were in the main dining room. Lu Ruchan hadn't been this happy in a long time. She kept putting food on Yan Heqing's plate, saying, "Eat more, you've lost even more weight since the last time I saw you." Then, Lu Ruchan gave Lu Lin a reproachful look, "No matter how busy you are with work, you have to take care of Heqing first. It's not like you haven't had work before."

Yan Heqing spoke first, "He cooks for me every day, so I don't gain weight from eating his food."

Yan Heqing hadn't weighed himself in a long time. He felt he was around 120 pounds. He hadn't been eating much lately, but his weight just wouldn't go up.

Lu Ruchan grinned from ear to ear, "Look how protective Heqing is of you." She was truly happy today. After dinner, she played cards with Lu Lin and Yan Heqing until eleven o'clock before going back to her room to sleep.

Lu Lin and Yan Heqing stayed in a room on the second floor.

Yan Heqing went to take a shower, so Lu Lin picked up his phone, put on his headphones, and watched the video his assistant had sent him.

The location was in a room that resembled an office. It was probably taken by someone inside with their phone in their pocket; the person is not very clear, but the sound is very clear.

First came Lu Changcheng's voice, "You are Du Yi."

Then came a man's voice, "Yes... you... you wanted to see me?"

Where is Lin Fengzhi?

Du Yi hesitated and didn't respond.

With a crisp sound of the box being opened, Lu Changcheng said calmly, "Cooperate well, and all of this is yours. Don't cooperate." He then sneered, "I have plenty of ways to make you cooperate."

Du Yi immediately cooperated, "The young master has been away from home for a long time. My eldest young master went to have surgery a few days ago because he couldn't find him anywhere, and he fainted and was hospitalized. My eldest young master's fiancée was very angry and wouldn't let him look for him anymore, so the eldest young master stopped looking for him."

"I'll ask you again." Lu Changcheng wasn't angry; he probably already knew Lin Fengzhi was missing. "What happened to Lin Fengzhi's surgery?"

"Keratoconus, very serious, to the point where a corneal transplant is necessary. Without surgery, they say he will go blind."

"You all get out," Lu Changcheng said again, and the video ended.

At this moment, Yan Heqing came out of the bathroom, and Lu Lin calmly took off his headphones.

Yan Heqing's hair wasn't dried again, so Lu Lin got up and went over to take him back to the bathroom. "Dry it and get some rest. Go back early tomorrow morning."

Yan Heqing glanced at the headphones on the coffee table, then quickly looked away. "Hmm."
