Xu Yan walked out of the castle and came to the garden, and the housekeeper followed closely.

Occasionally, one or two employees would pass by and stop to say hello to Xu Yan.

Normally, Xu Yan would not care about them at all, but today, she responded one by one.

Xu Yan stared at the faces of those passing by, and didn't look back until they were far away.

The housekeeper who was following her naturally noticed something strange about her.

When Xu Yan looked back again, she saw the housekeeper looking at her with inquiring eyes.

Xu Yan was stunned for a moment, her expression returned to normal, and she no longer paid attention to the workers passing by.

Instead, he concentrated on looking for tuberose in the garden.

In fact, she didn't know if there were tuberoses in the garden. This was just an excuse for her.

After walking around for a while, Xu Yan walked to the small tea table in the garden and sat down.

Then he turned back to the butler and said, "Can you bring me a cup of black tea?"

"Okay, miss." The housekeeper hesitated for a moment and then agreed.

Xu Yan sat on the stool and looked up at the starry sky. The butler turned back three times at a time. When a servant passed by, he stopped the servant and said, "Go and see the lady. What are her orders?"

"Yes," the servant replied respectfully without raising his head.

Seeing that the housekeeper was gone, Xu Yan was about to stand up when a voice came from behind her: "What are your orders, Miss?"

Xu Yan was stunned and looked back at the servant. She gritted her teeth and said, "It's nothing. You go ahead and I'll sit here for a while."

The man did not leave, but instead took a step closer, lowered his head, and whispered: "Madam, I am Jiang Jie, don't be afraid, I will find an opportunity to rescue you."

Xu Yan was shaken all over. She wanted to turn around immediately, but was stopped: "Don't look back. Keep your expression natural."

Xu Yan sat down again and whispered back without looking back: "When did you come?"

Jiang Jie said: "I have been following you. These days, I am trying to figure out the situation here and looking for opportunities to connect with you."

Xu Yan asked: "Does Lin Xiao know?"

Jiang Jie said: "This island has no coordinates on the map. It is equipped with special equipment and cannot be detected by radar satellites."

Xu Yan felt a little sad when she heard this: "So, Lin Xiao doesn't even know I'm here."

Jiang Jie said: "Madam, don't worry, I have found the machine that blocks the signal. As long as I destroy it, I can contact you sir."

"But you..."

Just as she was about to speak, Xu Yan saw the butler coming over with a tray from the corner of her eye. She could only shut up.

"Miss, your black tea." the butler said.

Xu Yan nodded, and then watched the butler put the tea on the table, but she had no intention of drinking it.

"You go and do your work, I'll watch the stars here." Xu Yan said.

The housekeeper said: "Miss, it's windy at night, you'd better go back to your room early."

Xu Yan looked at the housekeeper. The housekeeper would not take care of her like this before. Today is so abnormal, maybe it has something to do with Bai Yi.

Xu Yan knew that she couldn't be impatient and couldn't fight head-on. Even with Jiang Jie by her side now, she had no chance of winning against the people on this island.

But after confirming that Jiang Jie was here, Xu Yan finally felt at ease.

Xu Yan stood up, looked at the housekeeper and said, "Okay, I'll go back to the room first."

The housekeeper didn't seem to expect that Xu Yan was so easy to talk to, but Xu Yan didn't embarrass him, which made him relieved.

Xu Yan stopped looking at the others and went straight back to the room.

After returning to her room, she came to the balcony and looked at the garden. Jiang Jie was no longer in the garden.

Xu Yan didn't see Bai Yi until before going to bed.

It wasn't until Bai Yi appeared in her room the next day and Xu Yan looked at his arm hanging around his neck that she knew he was injured.

His left hand was wrapped with gauze and his face was gloomy. When Bai Yi saw Xu Yan, the expression on his face did not ease.

He walked up to Xu Yan with tired and angry eyes.

"Ha," he suddenly sneered.

Xu Yan was baffled by his reaction. She only heard Bai Yi say: "Tell me, how would Lin Xiao react if he knew that you became mine?"

Xu Yan's heart rang with alarm bells, and she looked at Bai Yi defensively.

Bai Yi presses forward step by step, while Xu Yan retreats step by step. Until your back touches the table.

Xu Yan looked at Bai Yi and said, "Why, after losing to Lin Xiao, you can only vent your anger on me?"

Bai Yi stopped and looked at Xu Yan, a fierce light flashed in his eyes: "Who told you that I lost to Lin Xiao."

Xu Yan said: "Isn't your injury caused by Lin Xiao? Otherwise, how could you be so angry?"

Bai Yi said: "Should I say you are too smart, or should I say you are too bold? Since you have guessed it, have you never thought that I would be angry with you because of him?"

Xu Yan said: "That's the end of your ability to vent your anger on a woman? No wonder you lost to Lin Xiao."

Bai Yi narrowed his eyes, looked at Xu Yan and said, "You are not an ordinary woman, you are Lin Xiao's woman."

Xu Yan said: "Since you know, do you think Lin Xiao will let you go if you really touch me?"

Bai Yi said: "So what if you don't let me go? Now, Lin Xiao and I are at odds with each other. Do you think we can still be friends?"

Xu Yan's mind was spinning fast, and many thoughts flashed through her mind. Finally, she said, "We can't become friends, but a community of interests is not impossible."

"A community of interests? What common interests do Lin Xiao and I have? I'm where I am today thanks to Lin Xiao. What do you think we have in common?" When Bai Yi said this, his expression changed. Be fierce.

He looked at Xu Yan and then said: "He led people to destroy all my businesses, joined forces with Sparka, and wanted to kill me. In the end, he was so scheming that he faked his death to escape, and you."

Bai Yi said, stretched out his good hand, put it on Xu Yan's shoulder, squeezed it gently, and said: "You guys really put on a good show. Now, at this point, you are still That he and I have a community of interests?

Should I call you naive or stupid? The relationship between me and Lin Xiao in this life can only be a matter of life and death. "

Xu Yan listened to what he said, saw the hatred in his eyes, and suddenly pushed Bai Yi away with force.

Bai Yi didn't expect her to be so sudden, so he took two steps back and distanced themselves.

Xu Yan said with a cautious expression: "Are we the only ones plotting against you? Since Lin Xiao can cooperate with Sparka, why can't he cooperate with you?"

"What? You still want to take it all? You used Sparka to hit me, and now you want to use me to get Sparka?" Bai Yi said.

Xu Yan stood up straight and said: "Why not? Your core discovery is not in China. I think you came to China to expand the market and covet the Lin Group just to help you fight against Sparka. , but you didn’t expect that Lin Xiao is not as easy to deal with as you thought.”

Bai Yi listened to Xu Yan's words. The more he listened, the more solemn his expression became.

"Who told you these things?" Bai Yi asked.

Xu Yan said: "At any rate, I have been with Lin Xiao for so long, and I will still learn something."

"Okay, very good, you really surprise me all the time." Bai Yi said.

Hearing Bai Yi say this, Xu Yan remained calm on her face, but she breathed a sigh of relief inside, which meant that she made the right bet.

"So, if you want to make a comeback and get your things back, cooperating with Lin Xiao is the best choice." Xu Yan said.

Bai Yi looked at Xu Yan, but did not answer her words immediately. Instead, he said after a while: "I have to admit that you are indeed very smart, but you are also very naive. Cooperation, you think cooperation is so easy to negotiate. Really? Since Lin Xiao has chosen Sparka, do you think he will easily change partners? What’s more, he is my opponent? "

Xu Yan said: "Why not? As long as you use the core interests, there is no one who cannot be moved."

Bai Yi looked at Xu Yan with probing eyes and said, "The most core interests, are you talking about yourself?"

Xu Yan said: "Do you think I'm not qualified?"

Bai Yi said: "No, I think you are the most important bargaining chip. I control you. What do you think Lin Xiao will do for you?"

Xu Yan said: "You will know if you try it?"

Bai Yi raised his eyebrows, and then said: "Since you are Lin Xiao's weakness and you are exposed directly in front of me, don't you like Lin Xiao? You don't seem to think about him at all."

Xu Yan said: "The prerequisite for considering others is that you want to live."

Bai Yi was a little surprised after hearing her words, and then said: "You are so cold-blooded when you are like this."

Xu Yan said: "So you must not fall in love with me. I am very selfish."

"I like your selfishness, at least at this moment." Bai Yi said.

Xu Yan's words were tantamount to opening up a new way of thinking for him.

He had only thought about how to use Xu Yan to kill Lin Xiao's power.

Xu Yan is his biggest bargaining chip. Now the chips have not changed, but the way of gambling has changed.

"So when are you going to negotiate with Lin Xiao?" Xu Yan asked.

However, Bai Yi said: "Negotiation? Why should I negotiate? You are already in my hands now. Wouldn't it be faster if I just use yours to threaten Lin Xiao?"

Xu Yan sneered and said, "If Lin Xiao was so easily threatened, you wouldn't talk nonsense to me here now."

Bai Yi knew that his words could no longer scare Xu Yan. The hand he placed on Xu Yan's shoulder slowly rose up and touched Xu Yan's face. He said, "What should I do? I seem to really like you. , I really don’t want to let you out.”

Xu Yan did not respond to his words. Bai Yi's fingers were slightly cold, and Xu Yan felt as if a poisonous snake was sliding across her face.

Bai Yi left. This time he disappeared for three days. Three days later, he appeared in front of Xu Yan again.

Her face was livid, as if she was suppressing something. Xu Yan happened to be eating. When she saw him coming back, she stopped eating and put down the tableware.

Bai Yi sat opposite her, looked at her for a while and said, "You can prepare, you can see Lin Xiao tomorrow."

Xu Yan was shocked, and the excitement in her eyes was almost uncontrollable, but she tried not to show it.

He picked up the napkin in front of him and wiped his mouth before saying, "You will find that you made a right decision later."

Bai Yi said: "I really didn't expect that the person who knows Lin Xiao best would be a woman."

-

The weather was calm and it was a good time to go to sea. Xu Yan boarded the deck and looked back at the isolated island where she had lived for more than ten days, as well as the only castle on the island.

She was a little excited at the moment, not because she was leaving here, but because she would see Lin Xiao soon.

Xu Yan was followed by four people, sent by Bai Yi to watch her.

These four were no longer simple bodyguards at first glance. Xu Yan was not panicked. She believed that as long as she could see Lin Xiao, all problems would be no problem.

But if you want to see Lin Xiao, you must leave here first.

Xu Yan looked around and did not see Jiang Jie, but she knew that Jiang Jie must be around.

"Miss, the boss said it's windy on the deck and asked you to go into the cabin to rest." Suddenly a man walked up to Xu Yan and said.

Xu Yan looked at him and said, "Feng Da, I think he was just afraid that I would jump into the sea and run away." Although she said that, she still followed the man in.

They said they were going into the cabin to rest, but Xu Yan was taken to a place like a banquet hall.

In the middle of the room, there was a long table filled with delicious food. Bai Yi sat at one end. When he saw Xu Yan coming in, he pointed to the seat opposite him and motioned for Xu Yan to sit.

Xu Yan sat down without any courtesy. After she sat down, someone poured red wine for her without saying anything.

Xu Yan didn't move, she just looked at Bai Yi. She thought Bai Yi wanted him to see something bloody again.

But no, Bai Yi raised his glass to signal to Xu Yan, then raised his head and took a sip.

After drinking, he saw that Xu Yan did not move or get angry, but slowly said: "Have you met Lin Xiao's parents?"

The sudden topic was brought up suddenly, leaving Xu Yan confused.

Xu Yan looked at Bai Yi with doubt in her eyes.

Bai Yi said: "I got some news about Lin Xiao, do you want to listen to it?"

Xu Yan said: "Whether I listen or not depends on whether you are willing to speak."

Bai Yi was stunned and suddenly smiled. Xu Yan's words were to prevent him from using this matter to make transactions.

Bai Yi put down his wine glass, looked at Xu Yan and said, "Lin Xiao's parents died young, but do you know how they died?"

Xu Yan thought for a while and shook her head.

Bai Yi said: "He was killed by Lin Xiao himself."

Xu Yan was not too surprised when she heard this, because she did not completely believe Bai Yi's words.

Bai Yi naturally knew, but he still wanted to say: "He was only five years old at the time. He killed his father with his own hands, and his mother was watching. Later, his mother went crazy and was sent to a mental hospital. The Lin family told the outside world It was claimed that both the husband and wife died in an accident, and not many people knew the truth.

And Lin Xiao, who personally killed his father and drove his mother crazy, was not affected at all. Do you still like such a person? "

After Xu Yan listened to Bai Yi's words, she did not ask back the truth, but said: "If you had told me this before I knew him, it would have been as you wished, and I would have stayed as far away from him as possible. Unfortunately, not now."

Bai Yi raised his eyebrows with a playful look in his eyes.

Seo Yeon said, "Because I have fallen in love with him, I will accept him no matter what kind of person he is."

Bai Yi stared at Xu Yan and asked, "Is this acceptable?"

Xu Yan nodded: "Yes."

Bai Yi stood up, walked step by step in front of Xu Yan, bent down slightly, looked directly into Xu Yan's eyes, and said, "So does this mean that as long as it lasts long enough, one day you will also like me?"
