“Something’s missing?”

Qin Yingyue was exceptionally surprised. She had stayed in Doora a lot and knew the situation here very well.

A private island was a very private place. Other than the owner, basically no one would come here.

Firstly, if one came here without a past, it would be classified as burglary.

There were considerable penalties under local law, with the heaviest sentence being more than ten years in prison.

Secondly, rich people bought this place to serve as their entertainment venue. They would not stay here permanently, nor would they leave precious belongings here. Thieves would not patronize this place either.

Moreover, the cost of taking a helicopter here was very high. Thieves would not do such a thing.

“There’s a photo frame inside with a picture of us. When I went in earlier, I found that the photo was gone, but nothing else in the house had been disturbed. It was just the photo frame that was missing.”

Qin Yingyue was initially taken aback, but then her expression turned calm.

She glanced at the villa with a peculiar look in her eyes.

“The only people who can open the villa door are you and my son, right?

Ji Qingyan nodded in confirmation.

“Madam, shall we check if someone might have entered from somewhere else?”Pone of the bodyguards suggested.

“Alright.”

Six of the eight bodyguards ran in different directions around the villa, while the remaining two stayed to protect Ji Qingyan and Qin Yingyue.

About ten minutes later, the six bodyguards returned, shaking their heads.

“The windows show no signs of being tampered with, and they are all locked from the inside. It’s impossible for someone to have forced their way in.”

Upon hearing this, both Ji Qingyan and Qin Yingyue were puzzled, finding the situation rather strange.

“Could he have come back?”

Qin Yingyue murmured to herself, thinking this seemed to be the only explanation.

Given the design of the door lock, only someone with the correct password or fingerprint could enter.

No one else could have entered the villa this way.

“I know what to do. Let’s check the surveillance footage!” Ji Qingyan said.

“If someone has been here, we’ll find out!”

Ji Qingyan didn’t believe that Lin Yi might have survived and come here.

She just didn’t want to lose the photo frame, which held memories of them together.

At this moment, she was determined to find the person who had taken it.

Then, she would take the photo frame back!

“Let’s go. I’ll take you there.”

The private island’s property management agency was set up in the city center of Doora.

After asking around, Qin Yingyue brought the group here.

After explaining the situation, the property management agency cooperated and found the surveillance video.

Then, the two of them found out in the video that a helicopter had landed on the tarmac of the island at eight o’clock the previous night.

A tall man wearing a mask and a cap alighted from the plane and slowly walked towards the villa.

“Well…”

Ji Qingyan cried out in surprise as her eyes reddened slightly.

The figure’s back in the video was too familiar. It was exactly the same as Lin Yi.

The two of them had been together for more than two years, and she had watched Lin Yi leave countless times.

It could even be said that it was a back that she would never forget.

But soon, Ji Qingyan’s tumultuous emotions calmed down. She knew that she was overthinking things and was just missing him.

Something had already happened to him. It was impossible for that person to be him. It was just that the shape of his back looked a little similar.

However, Qin Yingyue did not think so.

Although she hadn’t been with Lin Yi for long, her instincts told her that the man who got off the helicopter was her son!

This was a mother’s intuition!

However, Qin Yingyue did not intend to say anything at this moment. The person who started it had to be the one to undo it.

It was better to leave the matter between her son and Ji Qingyan to him.

After that, Qin Yingyue got the staff to speed up the video.

Then the two of them saw the man in the mask and hat enter his fingerprints into the lock and open the door easily.

Ji Qingyan’s eyes widened, and her heart felt like it was about to jump out of her throat.

That island belonged to him and Lin Yi. Only their fingerprints could open the door.

And the man in the video was actually able to unlock the door with his fingerprint. This made Ji Qingyan unable to calm down.

Unfortunately, the cameras on the island were only installed on the periphery. There was no way to know what was going on inside the villa.

Through the accelerated video, they realized that half an hour later, the man walked out of the villa and left the island in a helicopter.

At this point, the entire island returned to quiet as if nothing had happened. “Ladies, we can now confirm that someone broke onto your island. This has violated the local law. We will contact the police to deal with this matter,” the property management said.

“No, not yet!”

After Ji Qingyan finished speaking, she and Qin Yingyue stood at the side. Due to her agitation, she was so nervous that she swallowed their saliva.

“Auntie, do you think it’s possible that Lin Yi didn’t die and is now out on a mission?”

Qin Yingyue did not expect Ji Qingyan’s insight to be so strong to be able to guess this.

“That’s unlikely. If that’s the case, he wouldn’t it from us.”

Qin Yingyue still didn’t tell the whole truth, believing that this situation should resolve itself naturally.

Despite her speculations, Ji Qingyan was not entirely certain.

It was like a small flame; if someone added fuel, it could blaze brightly.

However, if someone poured water, it could be extinguished in an instant.

Qin Yingyue was the one pouring water right now.

“It could be a thief,” one of Qin Yingyue’s bodyguards suggested. ”

These fingerprint locks look advanced but aren’t very high-tech. It’s quite easy to fake a fingerprint to get in.”

The bodyguard wasn’t trying to cover for Qin Yingyue, he was merely expressing his thoughts based on past experiences.

They had encountered similar situations many times before.

Moreover, there were people in their organization capable of such feats.

“I must have overthought it.”

Ji Qingyan’s eyes were downcast.

She knew her guess was ridiculous. Even if Lin Yi was on a mission, someone would have known.

Besides, she had seen him in the hospital. People might lie, but machines did not.

She had let her imagination run wild.

“Listen to Auntie’s advice and stop worrying about it. Don’t leave today. Rest another night, and if you still want to go, we can discuss it tomorrow.”

“Okay.”

Under Qin Yingyue’s persuasion, the two of them returned to the Atlantis Hotel. However, Ji Qingyan’s gaze remained fixed on the direction of the sea.

She was hoping that a silhouette would appear on the distant horizon.
