Xu Yun smiled. "I don't think it's appropriate for you to stay here for too long. You're not in a good state right now. I don't think the Island Master would want you to stay here for too long."
Chang Mo stared at Xu Yun for about a minute before saying, "My father's name is Cui Li. I'm not used to being called the Island Master."
Xu Yun smiled. "Cui Li? But if I talk about him like that and let him know, he'll definitely know that you told me about it. That's not a wise choice. "
"I can't think that much." Chang Mo said, "Like you said, it's just a name. A name doesn't mean anything. It can't do anything."
Xu Yun shrugged. "I didn't expect you to think that way. Really. But I'll be careful. I won't say his name in front of him. I don't want to cause trouble for you. You know that. "
Chang Mo waved her hand. "Whatever. I don't care what you say. I just want to be alone for a while. "
"You do need to be alone." Xu Yun said, "You can only know what you should do after you think it through. I believe Cankong and the others have been waiting for a long time. "
Chang Mo's expression became much more pained. She knew the feeling of being imprisoned all too well. She knew how she felt back in Yanjing.
Just like the current Xu Yun. No, Xu Yun was much better than her. Xu Yun still had hope in his heart. When there was hope, everything was fine. But when that hope was destroyed, it was worse than death!
Chang Mo didn't know if Cankong and the others still had hope. But if they were really imprisoned by their father, then they must have lost all hope.
If that was the case, the pain would be too great. At least, Chang Mo felt that if she were in their shoes, she wouldn't be able to bear the pressure.
"Adjust your emotions before you leave. Don't let anyone see you like this." Xu Yun said, "Especially your father, Cui Li. He's very sensitive to everything. If you don't want to be misunderstood by him, pull yourself together."
Chang Mo took a few deep breaths and nodded. "I hope you can always maintain hope here."
"You're my only hope here," Xu Yun said. "As long as you can let go of everything, I'll be fine. I believe that you will definitely be able to find Cankong and the others, and find out the truth behind Nian Ye's death. "
Chang Mo didn't say anything else and left without looking back. As for how she was going to leave, she really hadn't thought about it and didn't want to think about it at all.
…
After returning to her room, Chang Mo covered her head with her blanket. She didn't want to hear anything.
It was only when someone came to inform her that her father had invited her for dinner that Chang Mo realized that the sky had already darkened. She did not even know how many hours she had been lying there.
In a place like this, her father's invitation was no different from an order. No one could refuse, no one dared to refuse, and no one would refuse.
Of course, Chang Mo wouldn't do anything that was completely different from what she had done in the past. She also wouldn't refuse. She didn't want her father to see some problems with her.
The dinner was very sumptuous. Mo Chen and a few others were present. Everyone chatted happily. Cui Li was very happy. He liked the feeling of having a few children around him.
The only one who didn't talk much was Chang Mo.
"Chang Mo, I remember that when we used to eat together, you were the most lively one at the table." Cui Li smiled. "Now that you've suddenly become so quiet, I'm really not used to it."
"Father, people change." Chang Mo said, "Back then, you always said that I was immature and unreliable."
Cui Li laughed. "Yes, you're much more reliable now. Good, very good … This is growth. This is the path to growth. "
When the dinner was almost finished, the conversation continued. Cui Li would say a few words to one person, and also a few words to another. Then, he would ask everyone to discuss some problems.
While they were discussing, Cui Li seemed to ask Chang Mo casually, "You said that you were going out to the sea to relax. Where did you go? Did you go fishing? "
Chang Mo's heart sank. She seemed to have realized what her father wanted to say.
It seemed that Xu Yun was right. Her father would investigate all the places she went, and investigate all her whereabouts when she was alone.
This made Chang Mo feel waves of unease. She was very afraid of this feeling. This feeling made her feel very uncomfortable.
"Haha, I'm just worried about you. Don't think too much." Cui Li said, "Fishing is a very good way to relieve a person's mood. It will make the whole world empty and relax. It will make the whole world light up, as if you're the only person in the world. That feeling … is amazing!"
Chang Mo smiled. "Father, I don't know how to fish. I haven't since I was young."
"That's because I didn't take you fishing a few more times to practice." Cui Li said, "Then from now on, whenever I fish, you'll come with me. That way, you'll learn quickly."
"Thank you, father," Chang Mo said.
Cui Li smiled and waved his hand. "You're welcome. But … you still haven't told me where you went."
This was the key to the problem. Chang Mo pretended to be relaxed and smiled. "Where else could I have gone … I just went around."
"That's it? You didn't go anywhere else to play? You slept on the boat. You didn't go on land? " Cui Li continued to ask.
Chang Mo nodded. "Yes, I didn't."
"Haha … that's good." Cui Li said, "I remember that you couldn't sleep on the boat when you were young."
Chang Mo felt a little guilty. She knew very well that she couldn't hide it. "That was when I was young. It's fine now … Oh right, I went to Saron Island to take a look at Pupuseli City."
"You went there … to find Cankong?" Cui Li asked.
Chang Mo nodded. "Yes. I thought I'd be able to see him if I went there. Later, I found out that Mr. Wu Qiuzi is not easy to meet. Not everyone has heard of him. That's why I didn't find him. "
"Haha." Cui Li smiled. "Yes, Mr. Wu Qiuzi is not easy to meet."
"But I didn't go there for nothing. At least I got to eat delicious crab meat rice." Chang Mo said. "It was delicious!"
"Hahaha, if you like it, I'll arrange for a chef to learn it. You can eat it whenever you want at home!" Cui Li said.
"Really? Thank you, father! " Chang Mo said. "But don't go through so much trouble. It won't be as fresh if I can eat it whenever I want. It's best to eat it once in a while."
Cui Li nodded. "Yes, that's the principle."
"So don't arrange for anyone to learn it." Chang Mo said. "After Cankong's poison is cured, I'll go pick him up. He'll definitely find it more delicious when he eats it."
"Okay, I'll let you go then." Cui Li said. He just needed to be sure that Chang Mo didn't suspect him. As long as Chang Mo still believed that Wu Qiuzi saved Cankong's life on Sarong Bay Island, he could continue.
Chang Mo put down everything in his hands. "Father, I'm full. I want to go and enjoy the sea breeze."
"Go, I'm also done eating." Cui Li said. "I'm going to do some physiotherapy for my waist. At my age, I can't compete with you young people. I'm old, so I don't dare to enjoy the sea breeze. My bones hurt when I catch a cold."
"Father, you must take care of your body in the future." Chang Mo said. "If you feel uncomfortable, you must tell the doctor immediately."
Cui Li smiled. "I'm very happy that you have such filial piety."
Cui Li had his own personal doctor and his own personal physiotherapy team, so he believed that he would never fall ill suddenly.
Moreover, he was a person who paid attention to his health. He was very particular about what he ate every day. He didn't have any bad habits of smoking and drinking.
Chang Mo went to the beach alone. Cui Li secretly told Mo Chen to pay attention to Chang Mo's movements at all times. If there was anything abnormal, he should report it to him as soon as possible.
It wasn't that Cui Li felt that Chang Mo was suspicious, but Cui Li thought that it was better to be cautious. After all, Chang Mo was someone who had been to Pulseli City on Sarong Bay Island. He couldn't help but worry that Chang Mo would know too much.
Mo Chen nodded to show that he understood his father's meaning. He quickly left the table.
"Remember, don't let her find out." Cui Li reminded him.
Mo Chen said, "Yes!"
