Li Yifei parked the car not too far from the dock and asked Li Xinyue to wait inside. Li Xinyue was worried and suggested going with Yifei, but he dismissed the idea with a single sentence, "You being there will only slow me down. Just wait here."
Li Xinyue wasn't someone who couldn't grasp the gravity of a situation, and she completely understood Yifei's words. She was extremely disappointed that she couldn't witness Yifei in his element, but in the end, she obediently waited in the car.
There was a hill next to the dock, dotted with trees that weren't very tall. Although it was just the beginning of September, the branches were thick with leaves, making Yifei hard to spot as he blended into the background.
