Something will happen again tonight.
Although "you can leave this isolated island tomorrow" has now become the consensus of everyone in the annex, Bai Heqing did not relax his vigilance because of this.
The conflict on this island has not yet been completely resolved.
For example, Kitakami Kazuhiko, the university teacher who seemed the most harmless, suddenly asked Shirakawa Kiyoshi and Mari about their plan of action tonight during dinner just now.
Although Kitakami Kazuhiko concealed it very well under the circumstances, how could Shirakawa Kiyoshi, who had already experienced countless cases, not hear the trace of nervousness and panic hidden in his tone?
This university teacher would care about his and Mary's actions tonight, which means that this person is most likely trying to do something tonight that he doesn't want them to know...
In addition, the Feng Shui master Mei Ling from Singapore also has problems.
In the past two days, Bai Heqing vaguely noticed that Mei Ling seemed to have a special concern for Kitakami Kazuhiko. Of course, it was not the kind of concern about love between men and women... rather, she seemed to want to investigate something on Kitakami Kazuhiko. ?
She gave Bai Heqing a familiar feeling, but he was too lazy to think about it further. After all, Bai Heqing had already done everything he wanted to do on this island, and he didn't want to cause trouble at the last moment.
Then there are the two young masters from the Ligen family.
With the emergence of the inheritance, the eldest young master Takahiro Tone can no longer control his desire for these treasures, especially in the underground cave before. He even blamed Kevin for taking a bottle of red wine without his permission. A heated argument broke out with Kevin.
What's slightly embarrassing is that he is not even the heir to these treasures.
With such an unabashed desire, it was hard for Shirakawa Kiyoshi not to believe that Takahiro Tone would do something irrational towards Kazuhiko Kitakami under the temptation of these treasures.
And the old butler Kurahashi Motoaki, will he turn against the two young masters of the Tone family because he wants to protect his former young master Kitakami Kazuhiko?
In the current annex, Bai Heqing feels that there is a huge problem.
On the contrary, Kevin, who looked problematic at first, now looks much more pleasing to the eye.
Although he has long been aware of these hidden dangers, Bai Heqing has no intention of intervening.
After all, the danger is not coming towards him, and he doesn't have that much kindness. When he controls the water tower tomorrow to get the small cargo ship out, the purpose of his trip will be over.
As for now...
"Mary, go back and rest."
There were no lights in the corridor. Bai Heqing stood by the window and turned to look out the dark window. In his ears, he could hear the sound of rain hitting the glass window continuously.
"No matter what happens tonight, it has nothing to do with us. When we get up tomorrow, we can leave the island."
"..."
In the dining hall on the other side, shortly after Bai Heqing and Mary left, Mei Ling also wiped her mouth, stood up and said:
"Okay, I'm almost done, so I'm going back to rest first, everyone can enjoy it slowly."
"Oh? Sister, won't you eat more? Are you trying to lose weight?" There was another piece of steak on the plate, and Kevin looked at her with a smile and teased.
"If you eat too much, it will be difficult to stay in shape. As a woman, you will always have a lot of troubles..."
Mei Ling replied with the same smile, turning to look at Kitakami Kazuhiko who was still a little distracted, and said with a smile:
"Master Yiyan, enjoy it slowly. I wish you a good dream tonight~"
"Stop making fun of me, Mei Ling..." Quickly coming back to his senses, Kitakami Kazuhiko sounded helpless.
"That's not a sarcasm, it's sincere."
After giving him a meaningful look, Mei Ling turned and left.
"I always feel like Sister, there is something behind her words..." As a reporter, Kevin's keenness allowed him to realize the profound meaning of Mei Ling's words.
He turned his head and glanced at Kitakami Kazuhiko, who was still in a daze. He just shook his head and smiled, and didn't think much about it.
"Those two, I'll go back first."
At this time, the second young master Tone Kosuke also stood up and was about to leave. He finally looked at Kevin, and after hesitation he asked:
"Mr. Kevin, what about tomorrow..."
"Don't worry, I said I would take you away and I won't break my promise." Knowing what he was worried about, Kevin replied directly.
"Thanks."
Nodding, Tone Kosuke also left the hall.
"..."
"Damn it! That Kevin!"
In Takahiro Tone's bedroom, he became more and more irritable after the inheritance appeared, and cursed Kevin repeatedly in the room.
"Brother, Kevin has promised to take us with him tomorrow." Behind him, Kosuke Tone, who had just returned from the hall, said.
"Hmph, he still has some sense. He knows who is providing him with food and accommodation on the island these days..." Takahiro Tone snorted coldly and sat back on the sofa.
There was a bottle of red wine on the table in front of him. A closer look showed that this bottle of red wine was the one that Kevin had opened before on the small cargo ship.
"I don't care about Kevin's matter." Takahiro Tone, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly said, "But we can't just leave this person Kazuhiko Kitakami alone..."
Tone Kosuke was shocked and asked quickly: "Brother! Do you want to..."
"As long as this man is alive, we will never get these inheritances from our father."
Takahiro Tone looked at his younger brother, a fierce light flashed in his eyes.
"..."
The next day, after Shirakawa got up early in the morning, he called Mary and went to the water tower behind the annex.
It stands to reason that after he cracked the mechanism that Eijiro Tone left in the annex yesterday, the water tower should now be in a state that can be freely controlled.
It can release water and pump water naturally. As long as you can control it, you can fish out the small cargo ship in the underground cavity.
"The control system of the Water Tower has been tampered with."
Opening the iron door below, what they saw was a room filled with all kinds of huge machines.
With the roar of machines running in his ears, Bai Heqing looked up at the electronic screen in the center of the room, eyes narrowed slightly.
"It's pumping mode now? What's going on?" Mary asked, frowning slightly.
After they cracked the water tower's mechanism yesterday and released the accumulated water around the annex, the water tower should have been in water release mode by default.
"It seems that the accumulation of water in the courtyard this morning is not entirely due to the heavy rain last night. Someone also wants to take the treasure on the ship away from the island."
Quickly coming to this conclusion, Bai Heqing turned around and walked quickly towards the annex.
"Let's go back to the underground cave first."
