“Of course, there was another reason. We were too young back then, and Su Ling’s sister was also worried about leaving me and her sister alone at home, so she offered to take us with her.”

As he spoke, the man’s eyes revealed a hint of nostalgia. “Actually, Su Ling and 1 had a really good relationship back then. If it weren’t for what happened on the island, 1 think I might still have had the courage to stand by her side now.”

Mei Shu and Lu Si exchanged a glance before speaking cautiously, “Mr. Yan, could you please tell us in detail about the situation back then? It’s really important for us.”

“I understand.” Yan Fu took out a cigarette case from his pocket, but his fingers paused before lighting a cigarette. He looked up at Mei Shu in a gentlemanly manner, with a trace of apology in his eyes. “I’m sorry, would you mind?”

“No…”

“I mind.”

Mei Shu’s “no” was not yet complete, but Lu Si answered for her.

Yan Fu could only put away the cigarette case and coughed awkwardly. “Then, could you please order a drink for me? Over the years, 1 haven’t been able to shake off the shadow of that incident. That’s also why 1 haven’t contacted Su Ling again.”

“Of course.” Mei Shu called the waiter and had a bottle of wine sent to their private room before saying, “Mr. Yan, 1 apologize for bringing up the past. We’ll try to accommodate your requests as much as possible.”

Yan Fu smiled bitterly and took a sip of wine. “Actually, having someone willing to listen to me might also be a kind of relief for me. Back then, I witnessed Su Huai and Lu Mo falling off the cliff together.”

At these words, Lu Si’s shoulders suddenly tensed.

His eyes turned a terrifying shade of crimson.

Mei Shu quickly grasped his ice-cold hand, “Mr. Yan, please continue.”

“That island has been developed. After we arrived on the island, there were professionals following us. Everyone has been specially equipped with butlers to provide services, so no one has worried about safety.”

At this point, Yan Fu looked a little afraid. “But we don’t understand why such a ferocious beast would appear on the island!”

This matter was also mentioned in the dossier at that time.

Mei Shu had specially investigated these.

Back then, the island that Su Ling and the others went to had already become a planned tourist resort. Even in the forest, there would definitely not be ferocious beasts that could threaten people’s lives. However, that island appeared.

At this moment, in the Su family’s villa.

Su Ling put down the goblet and slowly walked to the display cabinet in the room. She took out the key and inserted it into the lock. With a soft click, the cabinet door was gently opened.

She tiptoed and picked up an exquisite box on the top floor. She patted the dust off it and slowly opened the box a crack.

Inside was the complete fur of a wild beast.

She gently placed her hand on it and stroked its smooth fur, her eyes filled with nostalgia.

“We were forced to the cliff by a wild beast. Su Ling was even accidentally injured at that time. The two of us were too young and had always been protected by Su Ling’s sister and brother-in-law. Later on, the two of them accidentally fell off the cliff. I didn’t expect them to sink to the bottom of the sea and never come up again.”

Yan Fu’s hands trembled as he took a big gulp of wine to barely stabilize his emotions. “I’m sorry. If I hadn’t been in a relationship with Su Ling back then, perhaps they wouldn’t have accidentally lost their footing and fallen down to protect us. I’ve let the Lu and Su families down, so after this incident happened, 1 went overseas alone and never returned for so many years.”

Mei Shu frowned and asked, “Why did you choose to run into the forest instead of returning to the hotel to seek help?”

“At that time, we were already very far away from our residence! We wanted to bring our things for a picnic. Butler said that any place on this island is very safe and asked us to play at ease. That’s why in order to be more comfortable, we didn’t bring any extra people. Only the four of us went into the forest.”

Mei Shu glanced at the screen beside him and lingered on his “Life” profile for a moment before asking, “As one of the survivors of that accident, how did you and Su Ling escape?”

“The patrols on the island rushed to our camp when they found that everyone was missing and sensed that something was wrong. They followed the traces and found us, and then shot the beast dead. Otherwise, Su Ling and I would probably have been its dinner!”

Yan Fu’s voice trembled with the excitement of surviving a disaster, his emotions unstable. “It was terrifying. I still don’t know what that thing was. Its mouth was full of the smell of blood, and its teeth were covered in blood. I don’t know if it was human blood or what!”

Mei Shu was somewhat puzzled. “Could you please describe the specific appearance of that creature?”

Yan Fu’s eyes wandered, as if desperately trying to remember. After a long time, he stuttered, “I was too scared at the time, I didn’t dare to look directly at it. I only remember that it was really big, like a wild boar, but not quite.. Its fur was very long, I’ve never seen anything like it!”
