Start a mysterious island

Blue Star, Rongcheng.

The sun on the horizon changed its color, and the bright red sunset dyed the sky red.

On the edge of the city, in a farmhouse with little business, many employees yawned out of boredom. Everyone looked at the sunset that was about to disappear in the distance, thinking that they would get off work soon.

"The boss is here."

"Stop dozing off."

When the listless employees saw the middle-aged man walking in the distance, they quickly stood up from their chairs and pretended to be busy.

Jing Peng came to the employees and said, "There is no business today. Please pack your things and go home early from get off work."

"Yes." Each employee responded happily, and then packed up their things quickly.

After everything was settled, everyone left the workplace with a happy smile on their faces.

When Jing Peng was the only one left in the farmhouse, he did not go home, but carried a basket to a remote place.

This farmhouse with an investment of tens of millions is backed by a hill and covers a large area. A large area is an original forest area.

A clear stream flows down from the mountain, passes through the forest area, and finally enters the river in the distance.

After Jing Peng entered the forest area, he walked briskly on the dirt road and followed the stream deep into the forest area. Suddenly, his eyes suddenly opened up.

There is a cave at the end of hundreds of square meters of flat grass. There is light in the originally dark cave, and some vague sounds can be heard coming from the cave.

"Shashasha..."

The nearby grass shook, and a figure jumped out.

"Why are you here?" Li Ziming asked Jing Peng who arrived.

"A batch of good wine came this morning. I was thinking of sending a few bottles to Mr. Xu." Jing Peng raised his right hand and showed several bottles of red wine and some food in the basket.

Li Ziming nodded slightly and said nothing more. Then he moved to the side to get out of the way.

"Take this." When Jing Peng passed by Li Ziming, he took something out of his pocket and threw it to Li Ziming.

"Thank you!" Li Ziming caught the thing thrown by the other party and found that it was a pack of cigarettes. A happy smile appeared on his face.

…………

In the spacious cave, the electric lamps hanging on the walls emit bright light, leaving the darkness in the cave nowhere to hide.

"How was your investigation? Did you find the traitor?" Mr. Xu asked his friend, sitting on a chair with a mobile phone in his hand.

"The other party is hiding very deep. I have investigated for several days and still haven't found any clues." He Yi, who is in charge of Rongcheng intelligence, said.

"..." Mr. Xu suddenly fell silent when he heard this. Although the previous transaction of the Explosive Pill was finally successful, the process was very difficult and dangerous.

If the mysterious practitioner who could use the white mist power hadn't suddenly appeared and interfered with the investigators' arrest plan, they would have all fallen into the hands of the investigators.

"I will continue to investigate the traitor's affairs in the future. Please be careful during this period so as not to be found by the Superpower Management Bureau." He Yi said.

"Yeah." Xu Sanye, who fell into silence, responded, and then the two of them chatted about other things.

When Jing Peng entered the cave with his things, Mr. Xu had just finished making a phone call.

"Why are you here? Have you received any news?" Mr. Xu put his phone on the table and asked.

That night, after escaping the capture of investigators, Mr. Xu took some of his men to this secret place to hide.

He told the manager of the farmhouse not to go to the cave deep in the forest to find him if there was nothing particularly important.

Jing Peng smiled and said, "It's okay. I came here to give you something."

After saying that, he put the basket on the table, took out one thing after another, and placed it in front of Mr. Xu.

Mr. Xu looked at some supplies on the table, thought for a moment, and then did not reprimand his men.

Although some of the food in the cave can still be eaten for many days, the food is not rich in variety. I have been eating it for these days in hiding, and some of it is tired of eating. Now the supplies brought by Jing Peng can be used for a change.

"Gudong, Gudong, Gudong."

Mr. Xu picked up the wine glass, looked at the red wine as red as blood in the glass, raised his head and drank it all in one gulp.

After Jing Peng finished a glass of wine for Mr. Xu, he quickly refilled it.

Mr. Xu has a good capacity for drinking. He drank four or five glasses of red wine in a row and still looked calm.

Jing Peng saw that the gloomy look on Xu Sanye's face had dissipated a lot after drinking, and then he spoke out the true purpose of his trip.

"Mr. Xu, Lao Zhao has been caught by investigators now. It's not a problem that his business has been unmanaged, and I happen to have a lot of free time..."

The implication of these words is very obvious. Anyone with normal intelligence will understand what Jing Peng wants.

Mr. Xu shook the wine glass in his hand, glanced at his men, pondered for a few seconds, and said.

"That happened not long ago, and now the Superpower Management Bureau is searching for me. When this storm passes, I will arrange for you to take over his business."

"Yes." Jing Peng didn't expect Mr. Xu to agree to his request immediately, and he was immediately elated, and his happiness was beyond words.

"If you have nothing else to do, please step aside! I still have some things to be busy with."

"Then I won't disturb you."

Jing Peng quickly resigned and left the cave with the empty basket.

Li Ziming was smoking a cigarette, and white smoke sprayed out from his mouth and nose from time to time. It was very enjoyable to see the look on his face.

After hiding here for a while, he had already finished smoking his cigarettes.

Without Mr. Xu's order, he couldn't leave the forest area, so he couldn't buy cigarettes. This made Li Ziming, who liked smoking, very uncomfortable.

Now that there are cigarettes sent by Jing Peng, Li Ziming can't satisfy his craving immediately.

"Coming out so soon?"

The beaming Jing Peng nodded with a smile, took a few steps forward and suddenly stopped, then took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and threw it at Li Ziming.

"Save it for yourself. I'll bring you more next time."

"Thank you, brother." Li Ziming said happily after hearing what the other party said.

Jing Peng stopped staying, walked away quickly with the empty basket, and disappeared after a while.

"Li Ziming, come in."

Not long after Jing Peng left, Mr. Xu's call came from the cave.

Li Ziming, who was puffing away the smoke, quickly put out the unfinished cigarette. He was reluctant to throw away the unfinished cigarette, put it in his pocket, and ran into the cave not far away.

Mr. Xu looked at Li Ziming who came to him, smelled the smell of smoke coming from him, and asked expressionlessly.

"He gave you cigarettes?"

"Yeah." Li Ziming nodded, not hiding anything. After all, it was just two packs of cigarettes, not something particularly valuable.

"He came to me this time, hoping that I could..." Xu Sanye explained the purpose of Jing Peng's visit this time.

When Li Ziming learned that Jing Peng was interested in the business handled by the arrested Lao Zhao, the smile on his face disappeared instantly.

Because he was also interested in the business handled by the arrested Lao Zhao, he wanted to wait until the limelight passed before asking Mr. Xu to let him take over.

In this situation, the other party is trying to steal something from the tiger's mouth.

Mr. Xu couldn't help but smile when he saw Li Ziming's uncertain expression.

"Mr. Xu, it's better to hand over Lao Zhao's business to someone you trust." Li Ziming said tactfully.

Mr. Xu picked up the wine glass on the table, took a sip of wine, and said lightly, "Do you mean that Jing Peng can't be trusted?"

"That's not what I meant." Li Ziming quickly waved his hand to deny.

"Then what do you mean?" Mr. Xu asked.

"Uh..." Li Ziming was speechless at the question, and didn't know how to answer for a while.

"That business is very important. It must be handed over to someone I trust, so that I can rest assured." Mr. Xu did not continue to ask.

"..." Li Ziming nodded quickly.

"I originally wanted to hand over the business to you. After all, you are the person I trust the most now..." Mr. Xu said calmly.

"Hey!!!" Li Ziming was very surprised, and then the joy in his heart couldn't stop overflowing.

"Now that Jing Peng has taken the initiative, I have to consider his thoughts."

"Mr. Xu, in terms of loyalty, no one can compare to me..."

Li Ziming patted his chest to express his loyalty to Mr. Xu, looking like he was willing to do anything to his heart's content.

A faint smile appeared on Mr. Xu's face, then he put down the wine glass in his hand, stood up and walked towards the entrance of the cave without saying a word.

Upon seeing this, Li Ziming quickly followed and waited quietly for the other party to speak.

"You will do something for me later. If it is done well, I will let you take over the business after a while..." Mr. Xu was silent for a few minutes and then suddenly said.

"Whether it's going up the mountain of swords or getting off the oil pan, just give me your orders." Li Ziming slapped his chest loudly and said in an extremely serious tone.

Mr. Xu nodded with satisfaction, then he turned around and entered the depths of the cave. Within a few seconds, he came back again, carrying a black suitcase in his hand.

"Huh?" Li Ziming looked at the black suitcase in Mr. Xu's hand in confusion, because the black suitcase belonged to him and contained a large amount of money that he asked his younger brother to deliver.

"Take this money and go find someone and tell him..." Mr. Xu explained carefully and told him that this matter must be done well.

"Please be rest assured, I will definitely deliver the money to that person." After hearing what Mr. Xu said, Li Ziming quickly promised.

"Go!"

"yes."

Li Ziming left the cave carrying a black suitcase and quickly walked through the forest area.

He originally wanted to leave through the main gate of the farmhouse, but when he thought that Jing Peng was now his competitor, Li Ziming immediately changed his mind.

I saw Li Ziming walking towards the wall in the corner, then jumping up, grabbing the edge of the wall with one hand and turning over.

Due to the relatively remote location, there was no car on the road after leaving the farmhouse.

Li Ziming took out his mobile phone from his pocket and called his closest associates.

"Beep beep beep..." A few seconds after the call was dialed, the person on the other end answered the call.

"Brother."

"You drive to pick me up now, I am now..."

"Okay, I'll go find you right away. You wait for me for half an hour."

"Bring me something to eat on the way here. I haven't had dinner yet."

After ending the call, Li Ziming put away his cell phone and hid himself in the grass on the roadside, waiting for his confidants to arrive.

In the quiet living room, Zhang Xiongjie was sitting on the sofa wearing a vest, with a smile on his face.

"After so long, Li Ziming finally called."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Xiongjie immediately called his superiors to report the matter.

…………

Spiritual world, Dongwu City.

As the sun sets, the whole city is painted with a layer of bright colors.

At the entrance of the magnificent Zhu Mansion, Lin Li smiled and said to Zhu Xinru, "Don't send me away, just come here."

"Yes." Zhu Xinru responded softly, with an imperceptible look of reluctance flashing in her eyes.

Lin Li left with a large bag of hand-made osmanthus cakes given by Zhu Xinru. Under the reflection of the setting sun, his figure drifted away and soon disappeared.

"Miss." Chunxiang called out softly when she saw her young lady staring blankly in the direction Lin Li left.

"..." Zhu Xinru didn't respond. After half a minute of silence, she opened her red lips and sighed softly.

"Lin Li is going back to Shuanghe City now. I don't know if he will come back in the future."

Chunxiang knew that her young lady was worried that this farewell would be forever. Faced with this situation, she didn't know how to answer.

Zhu Xinru, who was exuding a faint melancholy, raised her head and looked at the sunset that was about to disappear on the horizon. She recalled in her mind the scene when she first met Lin Li.

"Da da da……"

The crisp sound of horse hooves sounded in the distance, and two vigorous figures rode two horses, galloping on the road paved with bluestone bricks.

In less than a minute, the horse stopped at the entrance of Zhu's Mansion, and two figures in fine clothes on horseback dismounted.

"Huh?"

"Cousin, how did you know that I came to see you?" Li Qian looked at Zhu Xinru standing at the door in surprise and asked curiously.

"Cousin, why did you come to see me?" Zhu Xinru changed the subject.

Li Qian and her bodyguard He Manyu came to Zhu Xinru and said with a smile, "I plan to go to Shuanghe City to do something in a few days. Do you want to go to Shuanghe City with me to relax?"

"Okay!" Upon hearing this, Zhu Xinru's eyes suddenly lit up and she agreed immediately.

"Eh?!!!"

Li Qian was very confused because she didn't expect Zhu Xinru to agree so easily.

On the way here, she was still racking her brains to think of how to persuade the other party to go to Shuanghe City with her.

Chunxiang, who was on the side, naturally knew what her young lady was thinking. Seeing the puzzled expression on Li Qian's face, she couldn't help but purse her lips and snicker.

…………

"call……"

A gust of wind blew on the street, causing the trees on the street to sway violently.

"Shashasha..."

The sound of branches and leaves colliding echoed in the street, and some yellow leaves fell from the trees.

Lin Li, who was walking under the shade of a tree, raised his hand to sweep the leaves off his head.

Lin Li went to visit Zhu Xinru in the afternoon and wanted to talk to this friend before leaving Dongwu City.

Next, after finishing one more thing, Lin Li can leave Dongwu City.

"Xu."

An empty carriage stopped in front of it.

After getting on the bus, Lin Li told him an address. The experienced driver swung the reins, turned the carriage, and drove in an orderly manner towards the restaurant where Lin Li purchased pearls.

He didn't know when he would be back after leaving Dongwu City this time. In order to avoid subsequent trouble, Lin Li needed to hoard a large number of pearls before leaving Dongwu City this time.
