Zhuang Yi surprised them even more.
In front of the Pei family, he always appeared gentle and polite.
Moreover, the Pei family could all see that he hadn't married yet because he liked Pei Chuyao, and he had been helping to find Wei Qinghui's whereabouts. The entire Pei family had a very good impression of Zhuang Yi, thinking that he was affectionate and sentimental, and a rare good man. That's why Pei Jinwen advised his youngest daughter to let go of the past and look up at the person in front of her.
With such a deceptive appearance, no one could imagine that he had actually done such a horrific thing.
To check on Wei Qinghui's condition and to prevent him from suspecting their relationship, Zhuang Yi visited Wei Qinghui at the sanatorium every one or two months for the first few years.
In the first two years, Zhuang Yi felt guilty when he saw Wei Qinghui, but as time went by, he felt no guilt at all. Later, he rarely thought that he was imprisoning someone, and before this time, he hadn't been to Shuiming Island for two years.
Just then, their car arrived at the dock, and Anling, preparing to get out, stopped talking about what she wanted to say.
The others listened, feeling that An Ling was lucky to run into Zhuang Yi, but they also found it strange that since Zhuang Yi was unlikely to visit Wei Qinghui anymore, did he really have work to do in Haicheng or did he suddenly remember to check on the situation at the sanatorium?
Could it be that he happened to go to Shuiming Island today? I wonder if he's still there.
In any case, they will force their way in and rescue the person, even if it means forcing their way in.
As for why they didn't call the police, it's because they didn't have concrete evidence, and it would be troublesome if the police asked about their source of information.
Moreover, their mere words might not be enough to convince the police to search the sanatorium directly. If Zhuang Yi found out they had called the police and sensed something was wrong, he might move Wei Qinghui first, which would be even more troublesome.
It would be better to rescue the person first, and then call the police once there is solid evidence. That way, they won't have to come up with any excuses.
Pei Chuyao had already arranged a private ferry in advance, and the group boarded the ferry immediately after getting off the car, without daring to delay for a moment.
Most tourists arrive at the island from the northwest entrance of Shuimingyu Island, which is closest to the mainland.
But considering that there were already twenty of them, and that she had just heard An Ling say that Guan Weiqinghui's hut was closer to the southeast of the island, Pei Chuyao asked the captain:
Are there other entrances to Shuiming Island?
"Yes," the captain replied.
"There are entrances on both the north and south sides. People who want to charter a boat to go sea fishing usually go through the north entrance, but it is far from the island's commercial area. There is only a small path to get there, and it is not easy to walk."
"The south entrance leads to the sanatorium, but you need to register to go up. But you don't look like you're going to the sanatorium, do you?"
Just to be on the safe side, when Pei Chuyao contacted someone to arrange the ferry, she didn't reveal her true purpose, only saying that they had something to do on the island.
So the captain didn't know what these people were going to do. At first, he thought they were just tourists who were rich enough to charter a boat to the island, but he realized something was wrong when these twenty people came aboard.
Although these people were all dressed in civilian clothes, more than a dozen of them were tall, burly, and imposing men who looked like they were not to be trifled with, and they also appeared to be very organized and disciplined.

He was a little scared at first, but they were offering so much that he decided to take the risk and let them on board. After all, this is a society governed by law, and these people can't really do anything to him, right?
But then he actually saw Pei Yuning among the people boarding the ship!
He's a big fan of Pei Yuning!
So the captain completely let down his guard, thinking that those burly men must be bodyguards or something, and answered Pei Chuyao's questions without hesitation.
Pei Chuyao glanced at An Ling and noticed that she was looking out the window and not paying attention to her, so she lowered her voice and continued to ask, "Can we dock to the southeast?"
The captain was a little surprised. "It is possible. Actually, there is another entrance over there, which only locals know about. But we won't go up from there because that entrance seems to be privately managed. Even if you went up, the bodyguards would kick you out."
"Are there bodyguards over there?" Pei Chuyao was a little worried. The presence of bodyguards meant that someone might be tipping off Zhuang Yi.
"Yes, but it seems there are only one or two, I'm not really sure," the captain continued. "But there's nothing there, so it's very inconvenient for you to go anywhere on the island."
“It’s alright,” Pei Chuyao finally made her decision, “we’ll head to the island in the southeast.”
[The captain even knows there's an entrance to the southeast! That's great!]
Pei Chuyao lowered her voice, but the captain kept it at a normal volume, so An Ling naturally heard it.
[That intersection was specially built by Zhuang Yi after he imprisoned Wei Qinghui, just in case. In case his aunt got wind of it someday and brought people looking for him, he could move them from here.]
This is actually a good thing for us; the shortest route to the hut is just by following that entrance.
Although Zhuang Yi did arrange for people to guard the entrance, there were only five or six people, including those guarding Wei Qinghui near the hut. We had enough people.
Pei Chuyao sighed deeply.
It turns out that Zhuang Yi had even planned the retreat route after being discovered.
He really does make sure that even his guilty conscience is completely concealed...
After the ferry docked, two people did come over and ask them to leave.
An Ling and her group did not go down immediately. Instead, they sent several bodyguards down first, pretending to be tourists who had gone astray, to talk to the two people. Then, taking advantage of their momentary lapse in attention, they subdued and tied them up, taking them onto the boat.
The captain was truly dumbfounded.
He looked at Pei Yuning shakily and asked, "What are you doing?"
His hand was already on the emergency call button, fearing he would be silenced for knowing too much.
Pei Yuning thought for a moment and then made up an excuse.
"Don't be scared, we're filming a movie..."
She thought the captain wouldn't believe such a lame excuse. Anyway, they had already reached the shore, and even if the captain called the police now, it wouldn't matter. They would definitely be able to find Wei Qinghui before the police arrived.
But the captain's eyes suddenly lit up after hearing this. "Making a movie? Really? I don't see any cameras. Could I be on camera?"
Pei Yuning: ...
Why does the captain look so expectant?
