Start a mysterious island

Chapter 393: High-five as an oath, no breach of contract unless force majeure occurs (two chapters combined into one)

"call……"

"Shashasha..."

The wind blew the surrounding flowers and trees swaying from side to side, and the branches and leaves collided with each other, making bursts of noise.

"I know, I know, I know..."

The sun slowly climbed up, and as the temperature continued to increase, the cicadas lying on the trees began to sing more and more cheerfully.

Near noon, the tourists who left the camp in the morning began to return to their original route, returning to their camping spots one after another, and then began to prepare lunch.

"I'm so tired!" Su Yue, who returned to the camp, took off the backpack she was carrying, put it on a chair, and said while fanning herself with her white hands.

Although she usually does not lack exercise and has better physical strength than most girls, climbing mountains is particularly energy-consuming. She is really tired after going up and down.

Lin Li, who was now different from what he was before, didn't feel very tired. He saw Su Yue's listless look and thought of how she had teased her with sour oranges before. Now he would not let go of this rare opportunity to tease her.

"It's such a low hill, and you've become like this after just one trip back and forth. Your body is really weak!"

When Su Yue heard this, she immediately rolled her eyes at Lin Li and retorted.

"The mountain road is very difficult to walk. It's not like you didn't see it just now. Many people who went to climb the mountain were exhausted along the way. I'm not the only one like this."

After saying that, she couldn't help but feel a little confused when she saw that Lin Li's expression was as usual and he didn't look tired at all.

"It's strange. I played badminton with you a few months ago. At that time, your physical strength was not much better than mine. Now you look like you don't feel tired at all. How come you have changed so much?"

Originally, Lin Li was still teasing Su Yue happily, but when he heard the other party's question full of doubts, the smile on his face suddenly stopped.

Then, he thought quickly and came up with a relatively reasonable explanation.

"Yes! I played badminton with you a few months ago, and later found that my physical strength was not much better than yours, so after I returned home, I would occasionally take time to exercise to increase my upper limit of physical strength.

After so many months, the effect of exercise is really good. If we have another badminton match, you will be beaten by me. "

"Hmph~" When Su Yue heard Lin Li's confident speech, she immediately snorted and said, "Hit me? You're a little too proud!"

"Don't you believe it? Well, let's find a time later and have another competition." Lin Li took the initiative to invite Su Yue to fight, which was rare. He wanted to avenge his previous shame.

A few months ago, Su Yue asked him to go to the badminton hall to play badminton with him. At that time, Lin Li had given up exercising a few years ago because he knew that he had no hope of becoming a practitioner in this life.

In his spare time, he basically stayed at home and played games, and his physical strength was gradually declining.

Although Lin Li had awakened his spirituality and had a better foundation than ordinary people, because he did not exercise consistently, once his physical strength declined, he would become no different from ordinary people.

But once he faced Su Yue, who exercised regularly, he would definitely be at a disadvantage.

As expected, he lost to Su Yue in a fierce battle on the badminton court.

Not only did he lose a meal, but he was also teased by Su Yue after the game, saying that his physical strength was not even comparable to that of a girl, which was a bit unreasonable, and asked him to take some time to exercise after he went back.

It was rare for Su Yue to hear Lin Li proactively ask her for a fight. Naturally, she had no reason to refuse and immediately agreed.

"Okay! Just like last time, the loser will treat the winner to dinner after the game. As for where to eat, the winner has the final say."

"It's a deal." When Lin Li saw Su Yue agreeing to his invitation to fight, he showed a confident expression on his face that he was determined to win, and at the same time stretched out his right hand.

Su Yue saw Lin Li stretching out his right hand, and she also stretched out her right hand knowingly.

"Snapped."

A high-five is an oath, and neither party shall breach the contract except for force majeure factors.

"You beat me to death last time! This time I'm going to beg for it twice as much. Be careful with your wallet." Lin Li said with a smile.

"We'll talk about it after you win!" Su Yue rolled her eyes at Lin Li, who was full of confidence, and then gave him instructions.

"I'll rest for a while and regain my strength. You go and wash the dishes. I'll make lunch later. After eating, we'll pack up and go home..."

"Oh." As soon as Chef Su said he wanted to cook, Lin Li's confident aura disappeared immediately. He immediately took out vegetables, some meat and seafood, and walked quickly to the stream.

Su Yue looked at Lin Li washing vegetables carefully by the stream. The corners of her mouth, which seemed to be smiling and angry, faintly outlined a curve that made people look upside down.

…………

In the distance, in the woods on the hillside, the chirping of cicadas continued above their heads. Zhu Daqi and Chen Xiaoyan stared at the two people talking and laughing in the camp in the distance.

Chen Xiaoyan had read Lin Li's information, so she recognized Lin Li at a glance as Liu Menglong's target.

"This goal is to look younger than the picture on the profile shows!"

Zhu Daqi, who was standing aside, nodded, and then said, "Yes! Sister Yan, just a young man who just graduated from college this year, even if his cultivation talent is very good, he has reached the peak of the first level at such a young age.

But once the elder brother takes action against him, with the elder brother's mid-level second-level cultivation, it is impossible for that person to make any waves. "

Chen Xiaoyan carefully observed Lin Li and found that the target was unscathed. In addition, the target had the leisure to chat, laugh and fall in love with his girlfriend just now.

This made her have the idea that Liu Menglong might not have taken action against this target last night.

But after thinking about it, I felt something was wrong. What Liu Menglong wanted to accomplish most at the moment was to complete this business and get the balance.

And before Liu Meng went out, he told her to come here and kill the target.

"Sister Yan."

"Um?"

"What should we do next?" Zhu Daqi asked.

Chen Xiaoyan thought about it seriously and then replied, "Although what you said makes sense, and I think so in my heart, your eldest brother's whereabouts are unknown now, and I always feel that I can't escape from the person in front of me."

"Sister Yan, let me tell you, let's not be tied up like this.

Then I called my brothers, surrounded him, arrested him and tortured him, and then all the truth would come to light. " Zhu Daqi suggested.

"No, you can't do this. A group of you go to surround him. With his first-order peak cultivation, even if he is indeed captured by you in the end, this process will definitely cause quite a stir.

Once it gets too big and law enforcement officers from relevant departments are attracted, the gains will outweigh the losses. "Chen Xiaoyan immediately rejected Zhu Daqi's proposal.

"We must be careful not to alert the law enforcement officers of the relevant departments." Zhu Daqi said.

"A large group of people surrounded him. I don't think you can do it without alerting the law enforcement officers of the relevant departments." Chen Xiaoyan said calmly.

The reason why she came to this conclusion was because she knew that the overall quality of the subordinates Liu Menglong recruited was not very good.

"Sister Yan, if we are looking forward and backward like this, how can we find clues about Big Brother!" Zhu Daqi said a little disappointed when he saw that Chen Xiaoyan decisively rejected his own proposal.

"Don't be anxious. These matters need to be discussed in the long term. Let's go back first." Chen Xiaoyan said.

Originally, before she came, she thought that Liu Menglong might be in danger because of Lin Li, but when she saw that Lin Li was unharmed and looked like nothing happened, her initial thoughts were shaken. .

Zhu Daqi nodded, then he followed Chen Xiaoyan down the hillside, turned around and left. About ten minutes later, they returned to the parking place.

"Boom..."

The car started, Zhu Daqi turned around and drove Chen Xiaoyan back the same way.

On the way home, the atmosphere in the car was a bit dull. After a while, Zhu Daqi, who was driving, suddenly asked Chen Xiaoyan, who was sitting in the passenger seat.

"Sister Yan, if something happens to my eldest brother, what should we do?"

Chen Xiaoyan, who was closing her eyes in deep thought, opened her eyes when she heard Zhu Daqi's question, turned her head to look at him, and said calmly.

"If it is really confirmed that something happened to your eldest brother, I will tell you what we should do next.

For now, don't think about this problem. Everything will continue as usual. By the way, after you go back, don't disclose this matter to others for the time being. "

"Okay, Sister Yan." Zhu Daqi stopped talking and drove seriously.

More than half an hour later, the black car drove into the urban village to be demolished.

Chen Xiaoyan returned home. Zhu Daqi watched the swaying Chen Xiaoyan walk into the small bungalow. His eyes suddenly flashed with a strange light, and he whispered to himself.

"If something happens to big brother this time, it would actually be quite good..."

…………

After returning home, Chen Xiaoyan walked into the living room, immediately turned on the air conditioner, then picked up the kettle on the table and poured herself a glass of water.

"Tons, tons, tons..."

After drinking the water in one gulp, Chen Xiaoyan put the cup on the coffee table, then leaned back and sat heavily on the sofa, staring blankly at the ceiling, thoughts racing in her mind.

When she was alone, the expression on her face was no longer calm.

"This is terrible. If something happens to Liu Menglong, my superiors will definitely ask me why I didn't report Liu Menglong's unauthorized actions in time..."

A cadre of the Black Lin Society told Liu Menglong and Chen Xiaoyan in person when they were arranging for them to go to Rongcheng to lurk.

If one of the two of them does something else without authorization, causing the latent plan to be frustrated, then the other party will also be jointly and severally liable.

"Dinglingling..."

The cell phone next to her suddenly rang, and Chen Xiaoyan, whose thoughts were swirling in her mind, came to her senses.

She took the phone and glanced at the caller ID on the screen and found that it was an unfamiliar phone number.

"Hello."

"it's me."

"Who are you?"

"Oh, Xiaoyan, why can't you even hear my voice?"

"Are you... Wang Hao?!!!" Chen Xiaoyan thought quickly and said in surprise.

"Yes." Wang Hao said with a smile, "I heard that you and Liu Menglong were sent to Rongcheng to perform a mission. You are still in Rongcheng now!"

"Yes." Chen Xiaoyan replied.

"It's good to be here. I just want to go to Rongcheng to do some things. I will arrive in Rongcheng tomorrow. I will go find you then." Wang Hao said.

"By the way, I called Liu Menglong just now, but his phone number showed that he was not in the service area! Is he doing something important?"

"..." Facing Wang Hao's question, Chen Xiaoyan suddenly didn't know how to answer the other party's question.

When Wang Hao saw that Chen Xiaoyan didn't speak, he thought the call was interrupted. He took the phone away from his ear, looked at the screen, and found that the call was still ongoing.

"Why aren't you talking? If it's because of the mission and it's inconvenient, I just won't go and meet you."

"Huh..." Chen Xiaoyan took a deep breath, then slowly exhaled it, and then said to Wang Hao in a heavy tone, "Wang Hao, I have something bad to tell you. I hope you can do it for me. Keep it confidential.”

"Say it! I will keep it a secret for you..." Wang Hao frowned when he heard something was wrong with the tone of Chen Xiaoyan's words.

"Something happened to Liu Menglong." Xiaoyan told the bad news.

"What's going on? How could something happen to him? What happened?" Wang Hao, who has a close relationship with Liu Menglong, was shocked when Chen Xiaoyan said that something happened to his good friend, and he quickly asked.

"The thing is like this. Some time ago, a person came to us. He..." Chen Xiaoyan told Wang Hao the whole incident in detail.

It is precisely because she knows that Liu Menglong has a very good relationship with Wang Hao that she will tell Wang Hao what is happening now without any reservation.

She hoped that the other party could help come up with ideas. After all, she could no longer handle this difficult matter by herself.

There are only a few days until the time to report to their superiors. At that time, the two of them will be present at the same time to report the latest situation to their superiors.

Once the superior discovers that Liu Menglong is not present and is questioned, Chen Xiaoyan will naturally be unable to conceal the matter about Liu Menglong. The superior will definitely be furious and she herself may be severely punished.

Now the only solution that can prevent Chen Xiaoyan from being punished by her superiors is to let Wang Hao come up with a solution.

"call……"

After Chen Xiaoyan explained what happened in detail, she did not hear Wang Hao on the other side of the phone respond, but only heard a burst of rapid breathing.

Through this unusual rapid breathing sound, Chen Xiaoyan immediately pictured in Chen Xiaoyan's mind the anxious look on Wang Hao's face after hearing the news of his friend's accident.

"Okay, I understand this matter. Don't do anything now. We will discuss it in detail after I arrive in Rongcheng tomorrow and meet you." After being silent for more than a minute, Wang Hao calmed down his anxious mood. Pressing it down, he said to Chen Xiaoyan.

"Okay." Chen Xiaoyan nodded, and then ended the call with the other party.

Putting the phone aside, a joyful smile appeared on her face.

Because Wang Hao is a practitioner with a second-level high-level cultivation, with the arrival of such a powerful combat force, it will be a big help to deal with the matter.
