TISMML Chapter 85.1

Besides the people Nan Yu brought, there were a total of fifty-three people in the villa, including servants, gardeners, and instructors.

The longest-serving among them had been there for ten years, and the shortest for six months.

The job had a shift and days off; two days off a month. They could choose to relax in their rooms in the villa or go on a two-day trip aboard the supply ship that came every two days.

Because the salary was more than double that of ordinary jobs outside, and the work was relatively simple and easy, especially when Nan Yu and her group weren’t around, many people wanted to come to the island to earn money for a few years before returning home.

However, the selection criteria were quite strict; the first criterion was character.

If there were truly enemies, the person might have bribed these people. How could they be ruled out?

Before coming to this island, Nan Yu had meticulously investigated the situation on the island, just in case, fearing another Butler Jiang might appear. After all, no matter how strong she was, she was only strong in terms of martial arts. She was not good at scheming and trickery.

The result was quite normal. Most of these people were from the city closest to the island. They had not received any large sums of money from unknown sources during this period, and their families did not have any particular need for money. Their life experiences were very simple.

More than half of them had never even left this area, resulting in a remarkably clean background.

[Fei: Asleep?]

Upon receiving Fei Yizheng’s message, Nan Yu glanced at the time.

It was almost 2 AM.

[Nan Yu: Not yet.]

After typing those two words, she turned to look at Fei Yunjin beside her, who was wearing an eye mask and breathing evenly, clearly sleeping soundly.

He slept in a very good position, obediently remaining almost completely still.

[Fei: Want to go for a night stroll?]

Nan Yu was taken aback. What kind of childish statement was this, wanting to explore the castle at night?

The thought of it coming from Fei Yizheng’s mouth made it even more jarring.

[Nan Yu: Go!]

But, cough, cough, she absolutely wasn’t playing around; it was all to fight against fate!

Yes, that’s right.

The villa is naturally patrolled by security guards at night, and the entire island is surrounded by surveillance cameras with dedicated personnel on duty 24 hours a day to prevent criminals from sneaking onto the island.

So when Nan Yu and Fei Yizheng came out, the person in the monitoring room spotted them immediately.

Then he met Nan Yu’s gaze as he looked at the monitor, and smiled slightly at himself behind the screen.

Security guard: Okay, I understand. Another game for the rich.

The security guard, who thought he understood, quickly sent messages to his friends, telling them to pretend they didn’t see the two people if they encountered them, instead of misunderstanding them as criminals.

The island was even quieter at night, with only the howling wind making the most of the noise.

Fei Yizheng’s special invitation to Nan Yu was not a casual one.

He led Nan Yu to the villa’s entrance and then glanced at the six-story building before looking toward the distant sea.

“This island is on the edge of an earthquake zone. The last time it was affected by a sea earthquake was about sixty years ago.”

This wasn’t a particularly worrying number, but Fei Yizheng said these things under these circumstances…

“Do you think fate will…”

An earthquake—a word that makes one frown just hearing it.

“Fate isn’t human; it doesn’t have human preferences. It is like a sophisticated machine, maintaining its so-called original settings.”

Compared to Nan Yu’s brute force approach, Fei Yizheng was definitely a strategist.

He had dealt with fate for so many years, understanding it far more than Nan Yu.
