Start a mysterious island

The sun is setting in the sky, and in more than half an hour, it will be completely dark.

Now it is the rush hour for getting off work, and the road conditions on the highway are not very good. Some white-collar workers who have just gotten off work are stuck on the road when they come out of the office building and drive home.

Lin Li was lucky. On his way out to the place where he had made an appointment with Zhang Yuxi to eat, he didn't encounter any traffic jams and arrived at his destination smoothly.

The square was very lively, with many pedestrians coming and going.

After Lin Li parked the car, he crossed the road, walked through the crowded square, and walked towards a large department store in the distance.

The place to eat tonight is on the sixth floor of the department store, and Zhang Yuxi booked a private room.

"welcome."

At the entrance of the high-end restaurant, two tall and beautiful reception ladies stood.

As soon as Lin Li walked into the restaurant, they greeted him in unison.

"Can you please take me to Box 6?" Lin Li said to one of the welcome ladies.

"Okay, sir, please come with me..." The receptionist, who had long black hair tied up and was wearing a light blue cheongsam, showed a friendly smile on her face after hearing Lin Li's request, and then led her He followed Lin Li to the private room of the restaurant.

In box No. 6, Zhang Yuxi, who had arrived early, was sitting and playing with her mobile phone.

"Dong dong dong..."

First there was a knock on the door, and then the door of the box was pushed open.

"You're here!" Looking up at the door, Zhang Yuxi saw Lin Li walking into the box behind the welcoming lady.

"I've kept you waiting for a long time," Lin Li said as he pulled out a chair and sat down.

"I just arrived." Zhang Yuxi picked up the teapot on the table and poured Lin Li a glass of water. Then he looked at the welcoming lady who led Lin Li into the box.

"I'll ask my colleagues to come over and help you order..." the receptionist in cheongsam said, then turned and left the box.

Lin Li picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea. At this time, Zhang Yuxi asked about what happened on the road, "There was a traffic jam on the way I came here just now. When you came out from home, was the road condition okay?"

"I'm relatively lucky today. I didn't encounter any traffic jams on the way here." Lin Li put down the tea cup in his hand and said with a smile.

The two were chatting, and the knock on the door rang again. Then the door to the private room was pushed open, and a short-haired waitress walked in with a menu in her hand.

"I'm treating you today. You can order whatever you want. Don't be polite to me." Zhang Yuxi handed over the menu handed over by the waiter to Lin Li and said with a smile.

"Then I won't be polite to you anymore... Let me tell you first, I've been eating a lot lately, so don't regret it later." Lin Li said to Zhang Yuxi in a joking tone.

"Once a word is said, it is hard to chase after it. I will not regret it..." Zhang Yuxi smiled.

Then he picked up the teapot again and filled Lin Li's teacups with tea.

"This, this, and this..." Lin Li looked at the menu and ordered one dish after another. Under normal circumstances, the dishes he ordered would be enough to fill the stomachs of five or six people.

After a while, Lin Li and Zhang Yuxi ordered their dishes, and the waitress left with the menus.

"Ding dong."

When the waiter left, Lin Li's cell phone placed on the table vibrated and made a clear ringing sound.

I picked up my phone and checked it, and found that it was a message from the bank, indicating that 20 million yuan had been received.

After reading the message, Lin Li felt very happy. He asked Zhang Yuxi, "The batch of pearls I gave you must not have been shipped yet!"

"Not yet!" Zhang Yuxi explained, "I will have someone contact the courier company in the afternoon. Since the quantity is relatively large, the courier company needs to make preparations so that the goods can be sent out at noon tomorrow."

Lin Li nodded, "Your friend just wired me the money. Next time, tell her that you don't have to pay in such a hurry. You can wait until the goods arrive before you wire me the money."

After hearing what Lin Li said, Zhang Yuxi smiled and said, "It's okay. She has a lot of money and plenty of liquidity on her hands. She doesn't need this little time."

The two of them chatted and laughed for a while, and the dishes they ordered were served one after another.

Afterwards, Lin Li feasted on a large portion of his meal, which shocked Zhang Yuxi.

Because the two of them had eaten together before, Lin Li's appetite at that time was within normal levels.

Now seeing that Lin Li can eat so well, Zhang Yuxi was shocked and couldn't help but worry about whether there was something wrong with Lin Li's health.

"I've been practicing a lot lately, which has led to a big increase in my food intake..." Lin Li, who was enjoying his meal, saw the puzzled expression on Zhang Yuxi's face. Before the other party could ask, he said what he had planned in advance.

"So that's it! These dishes don't seem to be enough for you! Let's order some more dishes!" Zhang Yuxi trusted Lin Li who had saved her and no longer thought about it after hearing the explanation.

"These dishes are enough... Don't just watch me eat, you also use your chopsticks to eat!" Lin Li said, pointing to a dish on the table with his chopsticks, saying that this dish was delicious, and asked Zhang Yuxi to hurry up Have a taste.

…………

There are many restaurants on the sixth floor of the department store. In one of the bustling seafood buffet restaurants, the pretty Su Yue and Wang Jiao were drinking beer and eating a variety of freshly made seafood.

"This buffet restaurant has a wide variety of seafood, and the prices are not expensive. It's really good! How did you find this restaurant?" Wang Jiao asked curiously, and then dipped a peeled prawn in it. Dip it in vinegar and put it in your mouth.

“The reason why I know there is such a good seafood buffet restaurant here is because an old aunt in the community where I live told me.

Her family runs a seafood business and supplies this restaurant. Since a lot of seafood is supplied every day, it can be inferred that this seafood buffet restaurant is doing very well.

When I was chatting with her, she gave me a recommendation..." Su Yue explained with a smile.

"That's it! You are so popular...it's really enviable." Wang Jiao said.

"It's okay!" Su Yue said very modestly, then stood up, took an empty plate, and went to the fresh food area to get seafood.

…………

The young man with blond hair who followed Su Yue quietly was standing near the entrance of the seafood buffet restaurant.

He was sitting on a stool with a piece of bread in one hand and a bottle of mineral water in the other, looking at the door of the cafeteria, waiting for the target to come out.

Time passed quickly, and the guests dining on the sixth floor of the department store walked out of various restaurants one after another after eating and drinking.

The young man with blond hair finished eating the bread, holding the remaining half bottle of mineral water in his hand, and waited patiently for Su Yue to walk out of the seafood buffet restaurant.

However, at this moment, the Su Yue he was waiting for did not appear. Instead, another person appeared in his field of vision.

"It's him?"

"It should be him, the guy named Lin Li."

The young man with blonde hair was very surprised. He did not expect that he would meet Lin Li here.

According to the requirements of the mission, Lin Li had to be beaten up in front of Su Yue.

Originally, the young man with blond hair had another plan and wanted to lure Lin Li out through Su Yue. However, before his plan could be launched, the two key figures of this mission appeared in the same place at the same time.

"Since this guy came to your door by himself, don't blame me for being rude... Strange, isn't he the boyfriend of Miss Su? Why is he dating another woman now?"

The young man with blond hair guessed that Lin Li and Su Yue were boyfriend and girlfriend. Now looking at Lin Li who was chatting with Zhang Yuxi, he felt confused and jealous at the same time.

After all, Zhang Yuxi was also very beautiful. When he thought that Lin Li might be in two boats, the young man with dyed blond hair was very envious, and his jealousy could not stop spreading.

"Have you eaten enough? I told you, don't be polite to me." Zhang Yuxi said.

"I'm not being polite to you. I am indeed full... A few days ago, I would have eaten more. But now my food intake is gradually returning to normal, and I don't eat as much as before." Lin Li smiled. .

Zhang Yuxi received a positive answer and stopped asking about whether she had eaten enough.

When she was about to say something else, the phone in the bag she was carrying in her left hand suddenly rang.

"Hello?" Zhang Yuxi took out her phone and found that it was her mother calling.

"Yuxi, are you off work?"

"Mom, I'm already off work. I just had dinner with my friends... You called me, what's the matter?"

"When I was tidying up the vegetable garden in the evening, I accidentally hurt my hand. When you come back, go to the pharmacy and bring me some medicine..."

When Zhang Yuxi heard her mother say that her hand was injured, she immediately became nervous, and then quickly asked if the injury was serious.

After questioning, Zhang Yuxi was relieved to learn that the injury was not serious.

In the past, Zhang Yuxi often advised mothers who were in poor health to stop gardening.

However, the other party couldn't listen at all, saying that he was too free at home now, so he could make a vegetable garden to kill time.

Now that she was injured because of tidying up the vegetable garden, Zhang Yuxi had no other choice but to sigh.

Although her mother said that the injury was not serious, Zhang Yuxi believed that seeing is believing. Without seeing the condition of the wound with her own eyes, she was still a little worried.

While Zhang Yuxi was on the phone with her mother, Lin Li stood quietly aside.

After the mother and daughter ended the call, Zhang Yuxi turned her head and looked at Lin Li standing beside her, and then she said with an apologetic look.

"Lin Li, I'm so sorry. My mother accidentally hurt her hand when she was trimming the vegetable garden at home... Now I have to go home quickly."

Lin Li nodded, "Since Auntie is injured, you should go back quickly!"

"Yes." Zhang Yuxi turned and walked towards the elevator entrance in the distance. She was going to take the elevator to the underground parking lot of the department store to find her car.

"Wait a moment." Lin Li called to Zhang Yuxi who turned to leave.

"What's wrong?" Zhang Yuxi heard the shouting from behind, then stopped, turned around, and looked at the other person in confusion.

Lin Li walked towards Zhang Yuxi. With a thought in his mind, a piece of healing ointment appeared out of thin air in his hand.

"This is this?" Zhang Yuxi looked at what Lin Li handed him and asked in confusion.

"This is a therapeutic ointment. It has a very good hemostatic effect... If you take it with you, it might come in handy," Lin Li said.

"Thank you!" Zhang Yuxi took the healing ointment and put it in her bag. After thanking her, she quickly walked towards the elevator entrance in the distance.

As soon as we arrived, the elevator stopped at the sixth floor. A group of passengers got off the elevator, and Zhang Yuxi walked in immediately.

After Zhang Yuxi left, Lin Li was wondering whether he should go home immediately or hang out in this department store.

"If I remember correctly, there is a store selling comics and figurines on the third floor of this department store. Next, I will go to that store to browse!"

Lin Li stopped and thought for a few seconds. When Lin Li was about to set off, a loud explosion made him give up his thoughts instantly.

"Boom."

The moment the explosion occurred, all the customers in the department store heard the explosion.

People were stunned for a few seconds, very confused by the sudden loud noise.

However, just when everyone was confused, the radio in the department store rang.

"Dear gentlemen and ladies... There is a fire on the second floor. Fortunately, the fire is not big. Please don't panic..."

"Damn... there's a fire on the second floor. Everyone, run away!" Someone was very excited and shouted immediately after listening to the broadcast.

At this time, any excited shout will have a huge impact.

After hearing the shouting, people rushed towards the exit in great fear.

Although the radio repeatedly emphasized that the fire was not big, everyone just had to line up and leave the department store in an orderly manner.

But everyone is afraid of death. When they learn that there is a fire in their place, no one wants to fall behind others.

"It's just a small problem, please calm down..." The security personnel on each floor looked at the surging crowds, sweating from their foreheads, and kept trying to persuade the frightened guests.

Lin Li stood close to the wall, frowning at the chaotic scene in front of him.

He took out his cell phone from his pocket and called Zhang Yuxi who was leaving.

"Hello?"

The call was connected not long after the call was dialed. Listening to the familiar voice coming from the phone, Lin Li asked quickly.

"Where are you now?"

Zhang Yuxi was very surprised when she heard this, but she immediately answered Lin Li's inquiry.

"I'm driving home now! Why is it so noisy over there? What happened?"

When Lin Li learned that Zhang Yuxi had left the underground parking lot, his slightly nervous mood immediately relaxed, and then he told the other party about the current situation.

"Eh?!!!" Zhang Yuxi listened to Lin Li's story with an expression of disbelief on her face, and then she quickly parked the car on the side of the road.

"How could something like this happen?"

"I don't know this either."

"Don't worry about anything else now, come out of the department store quickly."

"It's okay. The radio said the fire is not big, and I'm not a helpless kid. Even if the fire is raging now, I can get out of danger safely..."
