Chapter 689: Planning a Week
"Indeed, 99% may be entirely consistent, but there is also the 1% of rather atypical things, which are mysterious gifts bestowed by nature. Some say they are the treatment from above, meant to save humanity. Thus, this small portion of people, and an extremely small portion at that, still exists in this world."
"Are you suggesting that Lin Yaru might be one of those rare individuals? We have no clue what great power she possesses within her that attracts these people, and why they've been watching her for so many years?"
"Yes, that is what I mean. Moreover, it's very likely that there's something yet unripe within her. Perhaps once it matures, that will be their time to act. That's why they've been silently following Miss Lin all these years, waiting for the perfect opportunity."
After hearing Anying's analysis, Ye Chen felt a slight chill down his spine for some reason.
From Ye Chen's perspective, he had never taken this matter seriously and felt it was something quite common. Perhaps it was for the benefit of some foreign interest group to gain greater advantages, and thus, they aimed to control his family members.
Including the man who disappeared over 20 years ago, as well as Lin Yaru, whom they have always been concerned about.
However, Uncle Liu might have been quite influential and surrounded by many people, so instead of directly controlling Uncle Liu, they shifted their focus to others around him using the family conflict.
If it were merely a straightforward operation, it wouldn't be too difficult for Ye Chen.
But, on the contrary, after hearing Uncle Liu's words and combining Anying's analysis with some past memories, Ye Chen began to realize that this matter would never be as simple as he thought.
"Alright, I understand. However, no matter what great power she harbors, I only have one request: we must protect Lin Yaru strictly. The more those people want something from her, the less we can allow them to succeed."
"Exactly, that's why our ultimate goal is the same. We must keep an eye on everything and ensure Miss Lin's safety absolutely. Admittedly, it's going to be difficult for Miss Lin to come to terms with this reality in a short period."
"Well, that's the point. Now, it's not just one fact but two. First, the man they've been searching for years was actually hidden beneath the cave at the dock long ago, which should be quite a shock to Lin Yaru."
"Besides that shock, she has just come to realize the secrets within her and that these years were all because of her, which led to her family's fragmentation."
"No choice then, we must continue with this matter. By the way, about that Deserted Island you deduced, do you think there could be a major issue with it?"
"I believe, based on my abilities, there is a very good chance that the island is the hiding place from years past. So, we could head directly there, but if my deduction is off, we will need to deviate from course and land on the two other islands."
"Once we land on the island, is there a detailed plan? And is there anything mysterious on the island that can be inspected promptly?"
"With the equipment we have now, plus the devices Adar provided me earlier, I think it shouldn't be too difficult to accomplish all of this, so I'm confident we can do it."
"That's good to hear. Now, I'll leave the detailed planning and strategy of the island landing to you. If you need any funds or other assistance, just let me know, and I'll find a way to handle it all for you."
"Alright, no problem. In about a week to half a month, I should have the plan fleshed out."
After hearing this, Ye Chen nodded; he felt very reassured entrusting this task to Anying. Although Anying has not been with him for long, he knew Anying was a highly capable person. If Anying were used to his full potential, it would be a sharp weapon for Ye Chen.
"Also, have you really decided to take her with you to the island?"
"At the time, I said it just to comfort her. But after giving it more thought, the likelihood that she joins the island landing is slim. I always worry something might happen once we are on the Deserted Island, so I don't want to bring her along."
"Right, initially, I hesitated as well. In truth, with both our abilities, we could probably protect her without much issue, especially now that the island is uninhabited, so there's not much danger."
"If this were the past, I might have agreed, but now knowing the immense power within her, we absolutely cannot give up carelessly. We must make long-term plans for this matter."
"Then, let's not talk about long-term plans. Right now, we have one thing to do, and that is to make the island landing plan. It must not proceed concurrently with anything else."
"Got it. Since we two agree on this matter, I don't know what to do next. Besides, whatever happens, we have already entered a new city, so everything must start afresh. I'll gradually resume a normal life, which is the only way we can let our enemies lower their guard."
"Are you saying you're going to work at Guo Tao's company?"
"This was a plan set up by Mr. Guo for me before, and not just for me. Starting tomorrow, you and I will report to the company. We'll do all these things in our free time. The island landing plan and the company business must progress in parallel. Don't forget, within the Guo family, there are more specific tasks awaiting us to accomplish."
