Butler Sen glanced at Ah Hua with displeasure. Ah Hua immediately lowered her head.
“How can you speak to a guest like that? Apologize.”
Ah Hua nodded and looked up at Feng Qing, bowing her head in apology: “I’m sorry.”
The thug Feng Qing curled his lip but said nothing.
Butler Sen explained to everyone, “Atai is also our Master’s employee. This is our Master’s private island. Without his orders, he wouldn’t dare send outsiders to the island.”
The elderly man surnamed Huang, who hadn’t spoken until now, said, “So, the murderer is among us.”
Upon hearing this, everyone present exchanged glances, looking at each other with scrutinizing and wary eyes.
“Everyone, stop guessing. When the police arrive, they will be able to find the murderer. We can just wait patiently now.” Dr. Zhang spoke up to ease the tense atmosphere.
“Yes, yes, Dr. Zhang is right. Once the police arrive, the truth will come out.” Li Mengmeng nodded repeatedly in agreement.
Bei Yutang, however, wasn’t as optimistic. She felt that things weren’t so simple.
“You all wait here for the police. I’m going to find the treasure. I came here for ten million. I don’t want to waste my time on some irrelevant person.”
After saying that, the thug Feng Qing stood up and left the hall.
His sudden departure caused those present to frown slightly.
“Scum.” Old Mr. Huang muttered under his breath.
Gongsun Mingyue then stood up: “Waiting here is boring. I’m going back to my room to rest.”
She then left.
Following her, Li Mengmeng, Yan Jin, Dr. Zhang, and the others left one after another. It was clear that Feng Qing’s words had reminded them, bringing them back to reality from the shock of Ke Hongyu’s death.
Bei Yutang said to Butler Sen, “Butler Sen, please lock Ke Hongyu’s room to prevent anyone from entering and vandalizing the scene.”
“Yes, Miss Bei.”
After speaking, Bei Yutang didn’t go upstairs but instead walked out of the castle. She walked along the castle wall to the back, where she found a cliff behind the castle, with the surging sea below.
Standing on the cliff, Bei Yutang surveyed the surrounding environment and was surprised to find that the castle was built at the highest point on the entire island. Directly in front was lush vegetation, and behind was a steep cliff. The only way to enter the castle was through the forest in front.
What shocked Bei Yutang even more than the location of the castle was the mist rising from the sea, a thick mist that completely obscured her vision.
No wonder it was said that it was difficult for outsiders to enter the island. With her limited knowledge of feng shui, she couldn’t discern the island’s terrain, but she was certain this place was extraordinary.
Suddenly, a ‘crack’ sound came from the bushes.
Bei Yutang’s cold gaze swept toward the source of the sound.
“Who’s there?”
As she spoke, she had already headed toward the sound’s source.
As soon as she arrived, she saw a figure rise from the jungle.
Feng Qing raised an eyebrow, looking at her with a mocking expression.
“What’s all the fuss about?”
“What are you doing here?” Bei Yutang stared at him intently.
Feng Qing curled his lip and rolled his eyes at her.
“What am I doing here? Beautiful lady, I got here looking for treasure before you.”
Sure enough, Bei Yutang noticed that Feng Qing was holding a small iron shovel, still covered in fresh soil.
