Xia Yan, who was standing nearby, said, "I also noticed Shirogane Miyuki's emotions. I sighed softly and glanced up at him, but Shirogane Miyuki was too anxious and couldn't control himself at all. He immediately slammed all the clues in his hand onto the table, sighed softly, and then said:"
"Oh my god, what bad luck we've got! Why is everyone targeting us? We haven't done anything to them. And that Master Long is so ungrateful. We've tried our best to help him, but he hasn't given us a single clue. If someone from the relevant authorities finds out, we'll be in mortal danger."
After saying these words, the anger in Shirogane Miyuki's eyes gradually intensified. At this moment, he could no longer control himself and threw everything in his hands to the ground. Xia Yan, who was standing to the side, frowned slightly when he saw this scene.
However, at the same time, Xia Yan actually understood Shirogane Miyuki's feelings quite well. After all, in his opinion, Shirogane Miyuki had already made up his mind when he chose to send Kaguya to that small town.
Furthermore, in the past, Shirogane Miyuki had always acted alongside him regardless of any danger. Realizing this, Xia Yan felt a pang of guilt in his eyes, because in Xia Yan's view, if it weren't for him causing so much trouble...
Realizing that Shirogane Miyuki, Kaguya, Chika, and Ram should be living a very peaceful life, Xia Yan sighed softly, but he didn't try to persuade Shirogane Miyuki any further.

After all, in his opinion, Shirogane Miyuki had been suppressing his emotions for too long, and sometimes it was a good thing to let them out. So Xia Yan slowly picked up the things that Shirogane Miyuki had just dropped on the ground and began to study them.
...... .. 0
Shirogane Miyuki had lost his temper because he was particularly irritable, but after he finished venting his anger, he quickly felt sorry for Natsuhiko in front of him.
In his view, this whole thing was started by the two of them together, and Xia Yan always did more than he did. And now Xia Yan was there researching something, while he was throwing a tantrum.
Moreover, based on his understanding of Xia Yan, Shirogane Miyuki was well aware that Xia Yan would not be angry with him. Realizing this, the helplessness in Shirogane Miyuki's eyes gradually deepened.
Chapter 372 Small Island
But when he thought about how he had just lost his temper and made such a scene, a hint of guilt flashed in his eyes. However, he finally found a way to back down, and slowly walked to Xia Yan's side, saying to him:
"I still trust you quite a bit. After all, you're the most trustworthy person to me. And I believe that as long as we work together, we can definitely find this clue. Isn't '620' just a small clue? It's just that Master Long didn't tell us. I'm going to find this clue and slap him in the face."
Realizing this, the determination in Shirogane Miyuki's eyes deepened. Seeing this, Natsuhiko, standing nearby, slowly revealed a smile, glanced at him, and then said:
"You're right. Tell us, with our high IQs, how could we not find this little clue? Don't worry, as long as we work together, we'll find it soon. You have to have confidence."
Upon hearing these words, a smile slowly appeared on Shirogane Miyuki's lips. He continued to help Xia Yan with his research, and after some investigation, they unexpectedly found some leads.
They eventually locked onto their target: a small island. Upon realizing this, a hint of confusion flashed in Shirogane Miyuki's eyes, because after carefully examining the map, he discovered that this small island was not a private one.
Moreover, it was an unnamed island. Shirogane Miyuki's brows furrowed even more deeply. He glanced instinctively at Natsuhiko beside him, then asked him:
"What do you think about this? Why did all our clues eventually lead to this small island? Did Master Long bury the clues on this island? But it's not a private island, and given Master Long's temperament, he probably wouldn't go there."
Xia Yan frowned slightly, but he also had to admit to himself that although he had some doubts when he first identified this small island, based on the scattered clues they had obtained, everyone remembered that Master Long would often stay on this island for more than a month...
Moreover, each time he was escorted, it was basically by people that Lord Long trusted. Not only that, sometimes he would even send his trusted people back, and then stay there for more than a month, with no one knowing what he was doing there. Realizing this, Xia Yan's brows furrowed more and more. Finally, he pondered for a moment, sighed softly, and then said to Shirogane Miyuki beside him:
"In any case, since everyone remembers that Master Long often stays quietly on this small island for a month without letting anyone follow him, I think he is the most important clue for us right now. Maybe we don't know anything here, but let's buy plane tickets and go to that island to investigate. Maybe we will make new discoveries."
Upon hearing this, a hint of agreement flashed in Shirogane Miyuki's eyes. So the two of them didn't waste any more time. They quickly packed their things, bought plane tickets, and went straight to that small island.
Chapter 373 Doubt
They were initially quite excited before arriving at the island, as they saw it as a new lead amidst their many scattered clues. However, upon seeing the scene before them, a hint of sadness flashed in their eyes.
After arriving on this small island, they observed that it was not a private island, so many people come to this place every year.
At the time, they had only noticed all the clues that indicated that Master Long would come here every year for more than a month, which was why they came so rashly. But when they arrived, they had no direction at all.
Realizing this, Shirogane Miyuki frowned slightly, then glanced at Natsuhiko beside him, and said to him:
"What should we do now? Although we're on this island now, we don't even know where Master Long used to live, let alone that we still need to find those clues. Did we act too impulsively this time?"
Xia Yan frowned slightly. In fact, he was also considering this problem. However, in Xia Yan's opinion, the most important thing now was to find out where Master Long lived and where he usually went when he lived here. After realizing this, a deep meaning flashed in Xia Yan's eyes.
However, Xia Yan knew perfectly well that now that they were on this small island, to avoid arousing suspicion, they could only pretend to be sightseeing. Xia Yan sighed softly, then looked at Shirogane Miyuki beside him, and said:
"Alright, alright, don't worry so much. Besides, since we're already here, let's make the best of it. Now that we're here, and since Master Long has stayed here before, we're bound to find some clues. Let's hurry up and find the hotel. We can only pretend to be sightseeing to outsiders. Just don't give it away."
A knowing glint flashed in Shirogane Miyuki's eyes. Although he was very troubled, he knew that this matter could not be rushed. So, after Shirogane Miyuki and Natsuhiko arrived on this small island, they simply found a hotel to settle down temporarily.
Meanwhile, just after they had settled in, Xia Yan received a message from Qian Hua. When he saw the message from Qian Hua, Xia Yan frowned slightly. Bai Yin Yu Xing, who was standing next to him, had a look of confusion in his eyes, and then hurriedly came to Xia Yan's side.
But when he saw the message displayed on Xia Yan's phone screen, his brows furrowed even more. The message Qian Hua sent to Xia Yan, number 623, was simply saying that Ram was starting to suspect them.
Not only that, now that Ram had his suspicions, he naturally planned to go back and check the situation. Realizing this, Shirogane Miyuki, who was standing to the side, sighed softly and then said directly:
“I don’t really think it’s their fault. You see, we kept saying we had things to do here, so we’ve been delayed for a long time, and we haven’t given them any information. If I were them, I would have suspected it long ago. But what are we supposed to do? We didn’t tell Qianhua when we came.”
Chapter 374 Angry
"We've arrived on this small island, and Ram is no easy opponent."
A hint of agreement flashed in Xia Yan's eyes, and he sighed softly. However, after a moment's thought, he sent a message back to Qian Hua, telling her that they had gone to the island to look for clues.
On the other side, Chika was also very distressed. He had been trying his best to stop Ram, because in his opinion, this matter was really important, especially as Shirogane Miyuki had said.
The more people who know about this, the greater the danger for them, so Chika has not planned to tell Ram yet. However, when Chika saw Xia Yan's reply, a look of shock flashed in her eyes.
However, he was immediately furious because he really didn't expect that Xia Yan and Bai Yin Yuxing would act on their own again. After realizing this, Qian Hua looked around and found that there were no familiar faces. She immediately found a secluded place and made a phone call to Xia Yan.
When Xia Yan saw his caller ID, he frowned slightly, but he still pressed the answer button. However, before he could speak, he heard Qian Hua immediately say to him from the other end:
"I'm telling you, you two are really going too far. Although I promised to keep it a secret, you can't just go to that island without saying a word. Do you even know what's going on on that island? Besides, aren't you suspicious of that person in the relevant authorities? If that person finds out about this, do you know how dangerous your situation will be?"
"And every time you act on your own, can you please consider what we think? Although we are in the town now, if something happens to you, there will be no one to help you."
"So next time, I beg you to be more careful, okay? If you really can't, you should at least discuss it with us, otherwise I won't help you next time either."
Hearing the phone call from Chika, who sounded like she was throwing a tantrum, Shirogane Miyuki and Natsuhiko exchanged a glance, a hint of helplessness in their eyes. However, they also knew perfectly well that Chika was worried about them.
Realizing this, Xia Yan sighed softly, then said directly to Qian Hua:
"Alright, alright, we didn't tell you because we were afraid this kind of situation would happen. Besides, we came here after careful consideration. We investigated many clues and found that the last clue pointed to a small island. Although we haven't found any useful evidence on the island yet, we believe we can definitely find what we want here. So we hope you will keep an eye on Ram."
Qianhua's brows were furrowing more and more tightly. Although he was very angry, he was also very clear that if Ram knew about this, the situation would become even worse.
Realizing this, Chika sighed softly. However, he still decided to help Shirogane Miyuki and Natsuhiko by slowing down Ram's progress. But after thinking for a long time, Chika couldn't come up with a perfect solution, so he had to pretend to be sick.
Chapter 375 Evasion
Ram was already very anxious about what was going on with Shirogane Miyuki and Natsuhiko, so after discussing it with Chika, he planned to go back and see what was going on between them.
However, what he didn't expect was that on the day he was about to leave, Chika suddenly fainted in front of him. After seeing this scene, Kaguya's eyes flashed with anxiety, and Ram's brows also furrowed tightly.
Because Ram knew perfectly well that Chika's physique was healthier than anyone else's. Even when Xia Yan was sick, she had never been sick, let alone fainted like this. After realizing this, the two of them looked at each other, and the anxiety in their eyes gradually deepened.
However, Kaguya reacted faster and hurriedly said to Ram beside her:
"Oh dear, stop this! Quickly help him inside. What are we going to do if this continues? Besides, can't you see? His face is deathly pale. What happened?"
After hearing these words, Ram gradually came to his senses. Of course, he wouldn't waste any more time here, so he and Kaguya hurriedly helped Chika into the living room and gently laid her down on the sofa.
Both of them were extremely worried, especially since this was a small town with limited medical facilities, consisting of only one small hospital that was quite far away. Realizing this, Ram's brows furrowed even more. Just when they were at a loss for what to do, they suddenly heard a series of sounds coming from the sofa.
Realizing this, the two quickly turned their attention to Chika, who was lying on the sofa. Chika had originally planned to pretend to be sick, but she also knew when to stop.
What if the two of them took him to the hospital? Wouldn't his condition be even worse? Realizing this, he decided on a time. He slowly opened his eyes, a hint of confusion flashing in them. He looked at Ram and Kaguya beside him, then asked them:
"Hey, Ram, weren't you going back? Why are you still here? I'm lying on the sofa. What happened?"
Upon hearing this, Kaguya frowned slightly, but she quickly went to Chika's side and said to her:
"Hey, you're asking us now? You've scared us to death! What's wrong with you these past few days? You've been so absent-minded, and not only that, you even fainted today."
Chika's brow furrowed slightly, but at the same time, he was extremely wary. Moreover, Chika was perfectly aware that if he didn't put on a convincing act, Ram would definitely become suspicious. Realizing this, he feigned ignorance, glanced at the two people before him, and then slowly said:
"Oh, is that so? Maybe it's because I've only been in this town for a few days and haven't rested well enough. I didn't say you should let Ram leave. After you leave, you're still here, aren't you? We can take care of each other."
A shadow crossed Ram's eyes, but at the same time, he knew very well that Chika was sick, and Kaguya's condition was not good either.
Chapter 376 Awareness
He couldn't leave now, and he was extremely worried about Chika. What was going on? Not only that, he was also worried about Kaguya. Realizing this, he sighed softly, then pondered for a moment and hurriedly said to Chika and Kaguya beside him:
"Alright, alright, you two are both patients, why are you talking about taking care of each other? I'll stay here and take good care of you two. As for Bai Yin Yuxing and Xia Yan, they can stay together and take care of each other anyway, no rush."
Upon hearing these words, a meaningful glint flashed in Chika's eyes, while Kaguya was secretly delighted.
Although he also wanted to go back to see Shirogane Miyuki, he knew that the current situation was rather special, and his body was not fully recovered. After realizing this, a smile slowly appeared on his lips. However, Chika, who was holding Ram back, felt extremely guilty.
Although he completely agreed with what Shirogane Miyuki said, the fewer people who knew about this matter, the less danger they would face.
But now that he sees how much Ram cares about him every day, he realizes that he is indeed hiding something from him. After realizing this, Chika feels more and more guilty, so he simply pretends to be sick until he ends up in the hospital.
However, after being admitted to the hospital, Chika was still very happy. After all, when they lived in this small town, he and Ram saw each other every day. And because of his illness, which had been getting worse, Ram had taken good care of him.
However, Chika was really afraid that she wouldn't be able to keep going, and it would be bad if Ram noticed something was wrong. So this time, Chika went straight to the hospital to reduce her meetings with Ram.
At first, Ram didn't notice anything amiss, but every time he went to see Chika, she would urge him to go back and be with Kaguya. Ram slowly began to realize that something was wrong with Chika, and a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes after he realized this.
Because in his opinion, he and Chika had been partners for a long time, and they usually talked things out. But this time, it seemed that Chika was hiding something from him. After realizing this, Ram frowned slightly, but he still found a time when everyone was free to come to the hospital.

When Chika saw Ram, a strange glint flashed in his eyes, but before he could speak, Ram cut to the chase and said to him:
"What's wrong with you these past two days? You've been avoiding me every day. Now that you're at the hospital, you won't even let me bring you food. Tell me, are you hiding something from me?"
...... .. .......
Upon hearing this, Chika frowned slightly, a strange glint flashing in his eyes. However, he was trying his best to avoid Ram's gaze. Ram was also becoming increasingly suspicious, so he could only sit opposite Chika and speak to him again:
"I've been partners for so long, do you think I don't know what you're up to? What are you hiding from me? Don't try to fool me, you know my temper."
Upon hearing these words, Qianhua's brows furrowed even more deeply, but he now had no idea where to begin.
Chapter 377 Revealing the secret
Upon witnessing this scene, Ram's eyes flashed with a strange light, and her brows furrowed slightly. She then stared intently at Chika, whose eyes held a deeper meaning.
However, at the same time, he was also very hesitant, not knowing how to tell Ram what he had to say. Realizing this, he sighed softly.
Seeing this, Ram's brows furrowed even more. He and Chika had been partners for a long time, and normally Chika wouldn't hide anything from him. But this time, things were truly unusual. Realizing this, he sighed softly and then said to Chika:
“I told you I’ve noticed something was off about you these past few days. Tell me what you’re hiding from me. We’ve been partners for so long, do you think I wouldn’t notice something you’re up to?”
Chika frowned slightly, a hint of helplessness flashing in her eyes, but she still stammered as she spoke to Ram in front of her:
"Oh, you're overthinking it. What could possibly happen? Besides, I've been here for the past few days. What could possibly go wrong? I think you're just bored. In that case, why don't you take a good look around this town? The scenery here is quite nice."
After saying these words, a resolute look flashed in Chika's eyes, but Ram didn't think so in her heart. She looked Chika up and down.
Chika felt extremely guilty and ashamed. Moreover, he felt that if Ram kept asking, he would eventually reveal everything.
Realizing this, he sighed softly, then looked firmly at Ram before him once more and said:
"Oh dear, I'm telling you, please stop asking. I really don't have time to complain to you. Besides, don't you know how I feel?"
A strange glint flashed in Ram's eyes, but he didn't dismiss his suspicions. At the same time, he suddenly saw several handsome men pass by outside. Realizing this, a light shone in Ram's eyes, and he glanced directly at Qianhua in front of him, saying:
