The pretty little follower gets targeted by the crazy guys at the elite academy

Eight o'clock in the morning.

The sea area east of the island.

Lu Xingzhou stood at the bow of the ship, watching the island's outline gradually become clearer.

"Are you ready?"

The intelligence officer nodded: "The drone is in position. Also, Pei Qingrang's ship is at the three o'clock position, two nautical miles away. Lu Ran's fishing boat is at the six o'clock position. Guo Yiling's coast guard vessel is at the high seas boundary and has not approached."

"Where's Jiang Wu?"

The intelligence officer hesitated for a moment: "Still nothing."

Lu Xingzhou remained silent for a moment.

That madman has either already arrived on the island, or he's waiting somewhere no one would expect.

"As planned," he said, "we'll land on the island directly after daybreak."

The intelligence officer was taken aback: "A frontal assault? Zhou Si's armed personnel..."

"I know."

Lu Xingzhou's lips curled slightly:

"So I didn't go to kidnap people. I went to... negotiate terms."

[Negotiate terms? Lu Xingzhou, what do you have to offer Zhou Si?]

That fox is definitely up to something mischievous again!

[He wouldn't be planning to use the Lu family's influence to exchange for Li Ruo, would he? Zhou Si isn't short of money!]

On the other side, the island's pier.

Zhou Si stood on the dock, watching the ship getting closer and closer in the distance.

"Boss, it's Lu Xingzhou's ship. He's alone, no bodyguards."

Zhou Si narrowed his eyes.

Ship docked.

Lu Xingzhou, dressed in a light gray casual suit and carrying a briefcase, slowly disembarked from the ship, as if he were on vacation.

"Zhou Si," he smiled, "long time no see."

Zhou Si didn't laugh: "What are you doing here?"

"Let's talk business."

Lu Xingzhou patted his briefcase. "There's a project I think you'll be interested in."

Zhou Si stared at him for a few seconds, then stepped aside to make way for him: "Come in."

[Lu Xingzhou just went in like that?! Zhou Si didn't even stop him?!]

[Negotiate business? What can he offer? The entire Lu Group in exchange for Li Ruo?]

In the villa's reception room, Lu Xingzhou sat on the sofa and slowly opened his briefcase.

Zhou Si sat opposite him, legs crossed, fiddling with a folding knife in his hand.

Li Ruo is not here.

She went back to her room after breakfast, saying she wanted to read.

Zhou Si didn't stop her. Anyway, this island was impregnable; she couldn't run away, and no one else could get in.

Lu Xingzhou took a document out of his bag and pushed it over: "Take a look."

Zhou Si picked it up suspiciously and flipped through it.

It is an equity transfer agreement.

Ten percent of Lu's Group's shares, market value... His pupils contracted slightly.

"Are you crazy?"

Lu Xingzhou leaned back on the sofa, a signature smile playing on his lips:

"Not crazy. Very clear-headed."

Zhou Si threw the documents back on the table: "I don't want your shares. I won't hand over the person."

Lu Xingzhou didn't pick up the document; he simply looked into Zhou Si's eyes.

"I'm not here to take people away. I'm here... to join the group."

Zhou Si was stunned.

"Your island is heavily guarded."

Lu Xingzhou said unhurriedly:

"But there's a problem. You only have three hundred men; you can defend against the front, but not underwater. Jiang Wu has already proven that."

Zhou Si frowned.

"Pei Qingrang's ship is on the east side, Lu Ran's ship is on the south side, and Guo Yiling's coast guard ship is patrolling on the north side."

Lu Xingzhou's tone was indifferent:

"They're all waiting. Waiting for you to slip up, waiting for you to give up, waiting for you... to hand over the person willingly."

"I won't hand it in."

"I know."

Lu Xingzhou smiled and said, "So you need help. And I just happen to be able to help you."

Zhou Si stared at him for a long time: "What do you want?"

"Stay here," Lu Xingzhou said. "Live on this island."

Zhou Si's pupils contracted slightly.

"I'll protect her for you."

Lu Xingzhou's voice was very soft: "You don't trust me, but you should trust the others even less."

Zhou Si fell silent.

He truly doesn't trust anyone.

But Lu Xingzhou is right.

He only has three hundred men; he can defend against attacks from the front but not underwater, and he can defend today but not tomorrow.

Jiang Wu, that madman, managed to sneak in and perfectly evade all defenses, his eyes, and Li Ruo...

Pei Qingrang can do it, and so can Lu Ran.

Rather than letting them sneak in one by one, it would be better to...

"If you dare touch her!"

"If I wanted to do something to her, I would have done it five years ago."

Lu Xingzhou interrupted him:

"Zhou Si, I've waited five years. Not to steal her away. But to... stay by her side."

I can't refute Lu Xingzhou's logic!

[He's joining! He wants to stay! He wants to stay by Li Ruo's side this way?!]

Zhou Si is wavering! He's really wavering!

Instead of trying to defend against five, it's better to recruit one first! Deal with the remaining four later!

[This is like playing with fire, Zhou Si! Lu Xingzhou is in more danger than the others combined!]

Zhou Si remained silent for a long time. Then he stood up: "Choose your own room in that small building across the street."

Zhou Si pointed to the lonely little building opposite the villa.

Lu Xingzhou smiled and said, "Thank you."

[He agreed?! Zhou Si actually agreed?!]

[Lu Xingzhou has officially checked in! The second crazy guy to check in!]

[Jiang Wu is still lurking in the shadows! There are now three lunatics on this island!]

Three! Three more are on their way! This island is going to explode!

The beach on the south side of the island.

Lu Ran's fishing boat bobbed on the sea all morning.

He used binoculars to observe the activity on the island.

Lu Xingzhou's boat is still docked.

That guy has been on the island for three hours and hasn't come down yet. Could he have already succeeded?

"Brother Ran, are we still waiting?" the underling asked.

Lu Ran tossed the binoculars onto the beach chair: "I'm not waiting anymore."

He took off his coat, revealing a wetsuit underneath.

"Brother Ran? You're going to swim there?!"

Lu Ran ignored him and slid into the water with the snorkel in his mouth.

[Holy crap! Lu Ran went into the water! He's going to swim over too?!]

Jiang Wu swam for three hours. How long will he swim?

[Another lunatic has jumped into the water! This island is about to be surrounded!]

Li Ruo flipped through a few pages of a book in her room, but couldn't concentrate on reading a single word.

The hickeys on her neck were so obvious that she had to apply a lot of concealer and change into a thin, high-necked shirt to barely cover them up.

Feeling a bit bored staying in her room, she decided to go out for a stroll.

Walking down the deserted corridor, she looked around and noticed that the bodyguards who had been guarding the area were all gathered on the beach.

After descending the spiral staircase, she heard conversation coming from the reception room, as if there were guests.

She didn't want to see anyone, so she turned and walked towards the guest restroom on the first floor.

Push the door open, then lock it from the inside.

Li Ruo turned on the tap, scooped up a handful of cold water and splashed it on her face, the water droplets dripping down her chin.

She leaned against the edge of the sink, looking at her face in the mirror.

"Li Ruo, Li Ruo, look at yourself! You really did have your fun with that little stinky dog ​​last night, didn't you?"

She asked herself in the mirror, then poked the face in the mirror:

"Is it? Hmm?"

The mirror did not answer.

The only sounds were the running of the tap and the occasional footsteps outside the door.

She turned off the tap and prepared to go out.

The door won't open.

It wasn't locked; someone was blocking it from the outside.

Li Ruo's hand paused on the doorknob: "Who is it?"

There was no sound from outside the door.

But the force was still there, as if someone was leaning against the door, preventing her from leaving.

Li Ruo's heart skipped a beat.

She recognized the aura.

It wasn't the smell of gunpowder on Zhou Si, nor the smell of seawater and paint on Jiang Wu last night.

It was that faint, luxurious, and expensive fragrance emanating from Lu Xingzhou!

The door was gently pushed open.

really……

Lu Xingzhou stood at the doorway, backlit by the corridor light. His cold, sharp face was cut in half by the light, half in light and half in shadow.
