“I was engrossed in reading in the library last night, and when I came to my senses, it was already dawn.”
“Staying up late is very bad for your health. Miss Bei, please try to avoid staying up late in the future.” Dr. Zhang advised.
Bei Yutang nodded, indicating she understood.
After she came downstairs, Li Mengmeng, Gongsun Mingyue, and Feng Qing followed one after another.
Ah Hua walked over and said to everyone, “Everyone, it’s time to eat.”
The group entered the dining room together and sat in their original seats. Bei Yutang glanced around at everyone, her brows furrowing slightly.
Where is Old Mr. Huang?!
Dr. Zhang noticed a subtle change in Bei Yutang’s expression: “Miss Bei, are you feeling unwell?”
Bei Yutang shook her head: “Why hasn’t Old Mr. Huang come?”
Yan Jin said, “Old Mr. Huang should still be outside.”
“Outside?”
“When I went downstairs, I saw Old Mr. Huang walking out of the lobby. He must have gone out for his morning exercise.”
The storm that had raged all night had subsided before dawn, so it was normal for Old Mr. Huang to be out for his morning exercise.
“Sister Bei, I went to your room yesterday, but you weren’t there. Did you go somewhere fun?” Li Mengmeng asked playfully.
Seeing the probing beneath her sweet exterior, Bei Yutang’s lips curved into a smile: “I went to the library.”
At the mention of the library, Li Mengmeng’s eyes lit up, as if she had thought of something.
“Sister Bei, why didn’t you call me? I love reading too.”
“I’ll take you next time.”
“That’s a promise!” Li Mengmeng smiled sweetly.
“Butler Sen, can the police come to the island today?” Gongsun Mingyue asked.
Before Butler Sen could answer, Yan Jin, who was nearby, said, “I’m afraid the police can’t come yet. It looks calm outside, but a much bigger storm is approaching. Last night’s storm was probably just the outer bands of a typhoon. The sea is very rough now, and no one will be able to go out to sea for the next three or four days. So, the police probably won’t arrive on the island for another three or four days.”
Butler Sen nodded: “Mr. Yan is right. The sea is extremely dangerous when a typhoon is approaching. A single misstep can capsize a ship, and even after the typhoon passes, the waves will remain high. Usually, people don’t go out to sea for three to six days during a typhoon, waiting until the sea is completely calm.”
“That’s perfect. It won’t delay our search for the treasure. By the time we find it, they’ll be here too, preventing the police from wasting our time and ruining my ten million.” Feng Qing said with a smile.
After Bei Yutang finished breakfast, she stood up. Li Mengmeng, beside her, followed suit.
“Sister Bei, are we going to the library?”
Before Bei Yutang could speak, Gongsun Mingyue, who had been watching their every move, said, “The library? I was just thinking of going to take a look.”
“Oh, oh, oh, what’s so special about this library that it can attract the attention of three beauties? I’m a little curious, too.” Feng Qing said lazily.
Bei Yutang looked at the probing gazes that were now falling on everyone present, one after another, and understood what they were thinking.
They thought that she had found some clue, so they were crowding into the library.
Facing the probing gazes of the crowd, Bei Yutang calmly said, “I’m not going to the library now. If you want to look at books, you can have Ah Hua take you there.”
“Sister Bei, where are you going?”
