Lan Mushang reached out and covered his sister's mouth. This girl was too hot-tempered today; if she were allowed to speak further, she might mess everything up.
"Tell me," Xin Moli said in a deep voice. "One, make Lan Mushu a live-in son-in-law. Two, bring Lan Yuxi to the island. I urgently need a doctor."
Lan Musi narrowed his eyes dangerously. "I am Lan Musi, and I am also a doctor. I can go to the island..."
Xin Moli directly interrupted him. "You can't. I only want Lan Yuxi!"
Lan Yuxi pulled down Lan Mushang's hand and said coldly, "Fine! I'll go to the island!"
It was just going to the island; she wasn't afraid!
But while she wasn't afraid, her brothers were!
Lan Muwei and Lan Muguo exchanged glances. One of them immobilized her with an arm.
Lan Yuxi looked at them with amusement. "What are you two doing? I'm going to the island to see a patient, not to die. Island Master Xin, am I right?"
"I will guarantee your safety. But once you're on the island, you have to obey me."
"Okay!" Lan Yuxi agreed readily.
"I'll send someone to pick you up immediately."
"I want to bring an assistant to the island, because there's a lot of work that I can't complete alone."
Xin Moli hesitated for a moment, then finally agreed.
Ten minutes later, Lan Yuxi, with Eagle, left the fleet on a speedboat.
Lan Mushang and the others watched eagerly until the speedboat disappeared from sight. Only then did Lan Mushang say in a low voice, "Level one alert!"
Less than thirty minutes after Lan Yuxi left, Nan Xiao arrived with his men.
Lan Mushang looked at Nan Xiao, who descended from the helicopter, and felt too ashamed to even meet his gaze.
Nan Xiao patted his shoulder. "I know everything. It's not your fault. Even if I were here, no one could have stopped her if she wanted to go."
Lan Mushang sighed. This was supposed to be a matter for men, but they had pushed their sister to the forefront.
Nan Xiao glanced at the helicopter that had landed on the deck and said in a deep voice, "The people I brought are all excellent swimmers. I'll take them to the island shortly. If anything happens on the island, I can protect Fifth Brother and Xi Bao immediately."
"My water ghosts are ready on this side."
"Let them be the second echelon," Nan Xiao said, taking the diving suit from Nan Er. "I'll go change, and we'll depart soon."
As Nan Xiao prepared to go into the water, Lan Yuxi was being led into a magnificent palace.
Warlord!
Looking at the palace before her, this word flashed in Lan Yuxi's mind.
Eagle, carrying the medicine box, stayed close behind her. His sharp, eagle-like eyes constantly observed the palace's structure and personnel deployment, ready to help his master escape immediately if anything happened.
"Didn't you say only she was coming to the island? Why did she bring someone else?" With this gruff voice, a middle-aged man, weighing at least two hundred pounds, emerged from a bedroom with a look of displeasure.
However, his displeasure instantly turned into stunned admiration upon seeing Lan Yuxi.
Xin Moli, wearing a biker suit, followed him out. "That's her assistant."
The middle-aged man shot Eagle a displeased glance. "Give the medicine box to that woman, and you wait outside!"
"I..."
Lan Yuxi raised her hand to stop Eagle. "Waiting outside won't do. Have him wait by the door. I'll need his cooperation during treatment."
"What else is there to treat..." The man realized he had spoken out of turn and went to the living room, still holding his cigar.
A fleeting cold glint flashed in Xin Moli's eyes. She scrutinized Lan Yuxi, and Lan Yuxi was also scrutinizing her.
The girl had a devilishly alluring figure, her long, wavy golden hair shone dazzlingly. Her slender legs were clad in black leather biker pants, accentuating her perfect physique.
What a wild temptress!
Xin Moli was also stunned by Lan Yuxi's beauty. In her entire life, this was the first time she had seen a natural, slightly aggressive beauty like Lan Yuxi.
"Miss Lan, please come in," Xin Moli gestured.
Lan Yuxi nodded slightly, took the medicine box, and entered the bedroom first.
"Wait a moment," Xin Moli called out as she closed the room door.
Lan Yuxi frowned slightly and turned to look at her.
"Give me the medicine box, and you, I need to check you again."
Lan Yuxi gave her a cold look. "Your men already checked me when I got on the speedboat."
"I don't trust anyone but myself!"
Lan Yuxi let out a soft scoff, dropped the medicine box on the floor, and then tugged at her clothes. "I'm wearing only this much. Are you sure you still need to check me again?"
Seeing that she was dressed so lightly, and couldn't possibly hide anything, Xin Moli didn't insist. She squatted down, opened the medicine box, and only breathed a sigh of relief after checking all the bottles and jars.
"Let's go, I'll take you in."
The tear mole at the corner of Lan Yuxi's eye twitched. She followed Xin Moli around the lounge area and into the bedroom.
The bedroom was dimly lit. Lan Yuxi only saw the patient on the bed clearly when she got closer.
The patient was around sixty years old. His once tall frame was now just a skeleton. Lan Yuxi pried open his tightly shut eyes, looked, and then leaned closer to smell the Xin family head.
"How long has he been in this condition?"
Xin Moli pursed her lips. "Seven days."
Lan Yuxi glanced at her. "You captured my fifth brother and brought him to the island just to force our Lan family to save him?"
"Before you came, I didn't have this idea. But when I knew you were also here, I changed my mind."
Lan Yuxi's eyebrows slightly arched. This girl was quite honest.
"Where is my fifth brother?"
"He is safe. No one can harm him."
"I want to see him, otherwise, I refuse to treat your father."
Xin Moli narrowed her eyes dangerously. "Aren't you a doctor with a compassionate heart? You're bargaining with me in front of a dying patient?"
Lan Yuxi tilted her head slightly, glancing at Xin Moli. "You provoked our Lan family first. Besides, I have the capital to bargain with you!"
Xin Moli's eyes instantly lit up. "You can cure my father's illness?!"
Lan Yuxi pressed her wristwatch. After the jammer was activated, she said in a deep voice, "This isn't an illness; he's been poisoned!"
She had discovered that the Island Master was poisoned when she examined him earlier, and this poison was something she had concocted when she was idle.
Xin Moli clenched her fist. "I knew it! My father was in such good health; how could he suddenly fall ill."
Lan Yuxi glanced towards the door. "If I'm not mistaken, your father fell ill, you've been sidelined, no! Not just sidelined, you've been threatened. So, you risked danger, abducted my fifth brother, and wanted to use our Lan family to help you out of your current predicament."
The corners of Xin Moli's eyes quivered. "You have a very sharp mind, but you've only guessed half of it."
