After midnight

After choosing the wrong island, they wasted too much time, so Zhao Yunqi and his team worked in pairs, alternating between day and night. Song Yu and Zhang Dong were in charge of the night, while Zhao Yunqi and Shangguan Can were in charge of the day.

Two days later at dusk, they could see the shape of an island in the distance. According to speculation, this island was the next stop for An Yan to land on, and they would be able to land in about two or three hours.

At this time, Zhao Yunqi had to consider another question. That is, should they continue to chase behind or go around to the front to block?

Generally speaking, blocking is undoubtedly advantageous, because they only need to stand at the end of the island to set up an ambush, and then wait for An Yan to arrive and arrest him. Zhao Yunqi is sure that An Yan must be on this island, because once he chooses an island in the southwest direction, then the third island will be this island, and there is no other choice.

This is also the reason why he ruled out the island in the southwest at the beginning.

But the problem came again. There were too many uncertain factors in fighting with An Yan. The most taboo thing in a fight between two parties was this kind of uncertainty. For example, what were the identities and abilities of the two people traveling with An Yan? How to deal with them? These were all variables that had to be guarded against.

If they choose to continue the pursuit, there will be a lot of leeway. First, they will have a lot of time and opportunity to find out the identities of the other two people, and then use this opportunity to ask Song Hongtian to send more people, and they can also formulate more complete tactics, which will greatly increase the chances of success.

Should they take a risk or be safe, should they ambush and resolve the situation within three days, or should they continue to follow up and slowly obtain intelligence? Anyway, they have plenty of time.

Just when Zhao Yunqi didn't know how to make a decision, he received a letter.

A letter from Yin from the 'Dark Night' organization.

After reading the letter, Zhao Yunqi trembled and felt uneasy.

The letter reads:

I am Yin. If my intelligence is correct, you, Shangguan Can, Song Yu and Zhang Dong should be on the same island with us soon. Yes, it is us. I am with the Son of God An Yan now. There are three of us. As for who the other one is, I cannot tell you yet because he is a trump card that I must keep for myself. The reason why you can deduce that there are three of us is because I left you a clue. If you think about it for a while, you will remember it.

The purpose of my writing this letter is very simple. Let's make a deal. You get An Yan, and I get what An Yan carries.

If you are willing to discuss it in detail, please do what I say first.

Landing behind us.

I will meet you tonight and I will tell you all my plans.

Also, don't tell anyone about this, otherwise the deal will be void. Don't try to deceive me, I'm not that easy to be deceived.

Also, I can assure you that I don't mind you knowing my identity. If you still have any questions about this, you can always ask them when we meet, and I will be happy to answer them.

Finally, a rare opportunity~

This was a huge bait, and it was impossible for Zhao Yunqi not to be tempted. He would never have thought that one of them would be Yin! Even though the members of Dark Night had helped An Yan escape.

Yin was right. This was a rare opportunity. He would personally uncover the true identity of Yin, the leader of the Dark Night, who even Song Hongtian didn't know. Zhao Yunqi's blood began to boil. He couldn't refuse him.

Zhao Yunqi pursed his lips, trying to suppress his excitement. He wanted to smell even the slightest clue from this letter.

First of all, the person who would let Yin be his trump card must not be from the Dark Night. It can't be Lin Nuan and Lin Xuanfeng either. Then who can stand shoulder to shoulder with An Yan and Yin? Could it be a big shot who is related to both the Dark Night and the Revolutionary Army?

Furthermore, Yin deliberately left those traces, which showed that he had been planning for a long time. He said that he wanted to get what An Yan was carrying, so what was it that made Yin willing to go with him but couldn't get it directly from An Yan?

In addition, Yin didn't mind exposing his identity at all, which showed that he was very confident in their strength. And this letter also had an implicit message, that is, even if this transaction failed, Yin might have other ways to get what An Yan had. But this transaction was too important for Zhao Yunqi and he had no choice.

Finally, he still had the right to raise questions. All these factors combined made Zhao Yunqi finally understand that he was at a disadvantage from the beginning.

There was a chance that Yin was lying, but he had no choice but to take a chance.

Therefore, both publicly and privately, Zhao Yunqi could not and would not refuse him.

"Yunqi, what are you looking at?" Shangguan Can noticed Zhao Yunqi's unusual expression.

"Nothing. Song Hongtian wrote to ask about the current situation."

"Tell him not to worry, we will catch up soon. Yunqi, don't be too anxious." Shangguan Can comforted him, and Zhao Yunqi nodded casually and quickly looked away.

"Yes, I know. We will go directly to the shore in a moment and rest on the shore tonight. Song Yu and Zhang Dong are too tired and need to rest."

Shangguan Can turned his head and looked at the two people who were still sleeping in the cabin and nodded in agreement. They landed at the place closest to the island according to the ship's trajectory. After landing, Song Yu came to find him.

"Why don't you just drive the ship to the next island, where we can ambush and end the battle quickly."

"It would be too reckless and dangerous to do this when the identities of the other two are unknown. It is true that arresting An Yan is our mission, but I also have to ensure your safety."

After listening to Zhao Yunqi's explanation, Song Yu looked at him for a long time and finally said nothing and compromised.

Another day passed peacefully. At night, Yin went back to the tent after dinner. Only Anyan and Su Ziling were left sitting outside.

"An Yan, today is the seventeenth day, right? I will be going home in a week."

"Ah."

“It feels like time has passed very quickly.”

"Yeah, go to bed early."

The next morning, after An Yan got up, he found that Yin's tent was open, but there was no sign of Yin anywhere, so he walked over and put his hand into the quilt to check, and the quilt was still warm.

Where did Yin go so early? Until after lunch, An Yan and Su Ziling did not see Yin.

"An Yan, do you know where Yin went?" After Yin disappeared for a long time, Su Ziling finally couldn't help but ask him.

"I don't know." An Yan was calm and didn't seem to care about Yin's whereabouts at all.

Su Ziling swayed from side to side and asked anxiously, "Then you don't mind him..."

"What?" An Yan looked at Su Ziling strangely, then figured out something and said to him in a comforting tone, "Don't worry, he will come back, you don't have to feel uneasy."

This idiot! Su Ziling held his breath in his heart. He was obviously worried about An Yan, but did An Yan never think that Yin would betray him?

Su Ziling didn't quite understand what was going on in this world, nor did he understand Yin's identity or purpose. However, he understood how dangerous An Yan was in this world, and that An Yan should not be easily trusted by anyone except Lin Nuan, Lin Xuanfeng, and the "guardian" who had never appeared.

Su Ziling thought sincerely, even though Yin was closer to him on weekdays.

Su Ziling knew that the only person he trusted wholeheartedly was An Yan. When An Yan disappeared, he felt uneasy. When An Yan said he had something to do, he was afraid of being abandoned. When An Yan was unconscious, he just wanted to stay by his side. He knew that if he wanted to survive, he had to hold on to An Yan tightly, but...it seemed to be more than that.

Yin is different from Anyan. For some people, even if you are close to them, it does not mean that you can completely trust them. But Su Ziling could not say these words, and could not say them to Anyan.

Su Ziling glared at An Yan and turned away. He didn't want to hang around An Yan anymore, and he didn't know who he was angry with. With Su Ziling's deliberate avoidance and waiting, Yin finally appeared at dusk.

As soon as Yin appeared, Su Ziling immediately walked over and stood with An Yan, watching him rush over in a dusty state.

"Sorry. I received a letter from Ye this morning, saying that something happened to the Dark Night organization. This matter is quite tricky, so I found a place to deal with it quietly."

"Well, are you hungry? I'll go find you something to eat."

An Yan left without any questions, leaving Su Ziling alone, not knowing how to react to Yin.

"Su Ziling, have you ever been worried about me since I disappeared for so long?"

"what?"

"You don't worry about me? I couldn't help but secretly wonder, if An Yan and Su Ziling were worried now that Yin was missing? Did they get implicated this time? It seems that I feel good about myself." Yin looked at Su Ziling aggrievedly, as if accusing him of being heartless.

"No, I'm just worried." Su Ziling smiled guiltily and put down his guard. "You must be hungry, I'll go see if An Yan needs help."

Su Ziling didn't dare to look into Yin's eyes again and fled in panic.

Sure enough, sometimes pretending to be pitiful is more effective when dealing with Su Ziling. And with An Yan's personality, he will definitely respect his private affairs, but maybe he doesn't care at all.

Yin looked up at the sky separated by branches. The deal with Zhao Yunqi was successfully concluded last night. He believed that what he had been waiting for would soon come back. There was one thing he told Zhao Yunqi truthfully, that is, everything he did was for that thing, and he had been waiting for it for fourteen years.

Because of Yin's delay, they didn't go far today. The eighteenth day since Su Ziling came to this world came to an end.

At night, Yin lay in the tent alone and couldn't sleep. He didn't know if his plan was really perfect for An Yan. His plan was actually very simple. He set out to meet Zhao Yunqi last night, but in order to buy time, he asked Wuying to sleep in the tent instead of him. They had been together for so many days and had already figured out An Yan's habits. An Yan would get up at six o'clock every morning. If he found that he was missing, with An Yan's carefulness, he would definitely confirm the time he left. The easiest way was the residual warmth of the quilt.

So, it only takes a little trick to get away with it.

As for the deal last night, Zhao Yunqi was not a simple person. But there was a point in Zhao Yunqi that was too easy to break through, and that was his sister Zhao Yunshuang. If he knew that his sister's illness was not that simple...Yin sighed, turned over, and tried to fall asleep.

No matter what the future holds, everything is ready now.
