Chapter 52 You Lied to Me

Upon hearing about the satellite phone call, Luo Yin's eyes widened.

Ani, standing beside them, looked at the two with some confusion.

Seeing that they remained silent but their attitude seemed to have softened considerably, Old Man Chen continued.

“Really, Old Qin knows about this too. I can even call him over. And as long as you go there, I'll guarantee your safety. I'll make sure two people are with you. You can just stand wherever you want.”

When Old Chen said these words, he seemed certain that they would not refuse.

Luo Yin was in a daze for a moment, her eyes filled with confusion.

Suddenly, Ani spoke up, "Huahua, you go out first."

When Luo Yin heard Ani say that, she subconsciously glanced at Old Chen, nodded, and got up to leave.

"Besides what you just said, is there anything else you haven't mentioned?"

The question, though tinged with doubt, carried an affirmative answer.

Old Chen smiled, his face much more sincere than before. He sighed softly, as if he were confiding in someone: "Brother, I did not tell that girl some things, but to put your mind at ease, I will tell you."

"Has your family experienced a series of misfortunes in recent years, with immediate family members even nearly losing their lives? Normally, there would be one accident after another, but now..."

He paused, then heard a gasp from the other end of the line.

"You mean, it's all because of Hua Hua..."

Ani's expression was complicated as she carefully recalled the events of the past few years, as if she had indeed always managed to escape danger.

"That's right, these are indeed her impressions, just like I said before. Because of her special luck and her age, she subconsciously uses her abilities more skillfully. But these are all destined. Once you get something, you have to use it wisely."

"You don't want this girl to have a difficult and bumpy road ahead, do you?"

“Brother, that girl is special by nature and is destined to be an extraordinary person; instead of leaving her like this, why not hand her over to the country for training? I guarantee that after this, I will find her a good leader and a good department, and she will never have to worry about food and clothing again.”

Hearing him say this, Ani didn't know what to do.

He turned to look at Luo Yin, trying to read something from her face.

Luo Yin looked bewildered and shocked!

Ani then realized that this girl was quite fierce, and immediately looked at Old Chen.

"You want me to think about it carefully. Oh, and don't forget to let me talk to Old Qin."

"Hahaha, great!"

The shrewd Chen immediately agreed and made the call almost right on the dot.

No one knows what they said that night, and Luo Yin couldn't even eavesdrop.

He silently moved closer to Urina, waiting for news.

"Huahua, don't rush. Your Ani won't agree to this so easily. She'll have to ask for your opinion first." Urina looked flustered and was still somewhat dazed.

When she first heard about this girl's luck, she was extremely worried!

She felt a moment of peace only when she thought about how well she had been doing all these years; but when she thought of that old Mr. Chen, her eyes welled up with thoughts.

She gently patted Luo Yin's head: "Alright, it's getting late, why don't you sleep here?"

"No, Mom, I'm going back to sleep."

Seeing that her mother was enduring the hardship alongside her, Luo Yin felt a little regretful. She quickly got up, put on her shoes, and walked out.

"Hey, hey, take the lamp."

Upon hearing this, Luo Yin ran even faster. Just as she was about to turn around and eavesdrop on Anina, she bumped into the guard standing at the door.

Haha~

"It's already dark, why aren't you asleep?"

"Uncle, I'm going to sleep now."

"Glug glug glug~"

"Glug glug glug~"

Bubbles and the sound of water rose on the silent sea.

In the tranquil yet dangerous sea, a large ship suddenly appeared.

Looking further into the darkness by the moonlight, one could see figures moving about on the deck, busily engaged in something like scattered stars.

Someone had just come aboard from the cabin, and a light flashed in their hand.

With a "thud," the flashlight fell to the ground, seemingly bumped into by someone.

"Idiot, what's going on in your head? I told you not to turn on the lights at night, do you want to die?"

"Who brought this? Don't they know the rules?"

A splashing sound came from the railing, and several heads appeared on the surface of the sea.

"I'm sorry, I'll never do it again!"

“Mr. James, I really know I was wrong.”

"......"

The air was still for a few seconds, with only the sound of waves and breathing remaining.

"Gag them."

As it slid down, only a sobbing sound remained.

While they were busy getting the underwater people up, the atmosphere here was clearly tense.

Surrounded by darkness, only a few people could be vaguely seen on the ship, but as the man spoke, a foreigner with a distinctly different appearance from the East stood up from his seat.

James was impeccably dressed; even while adrift at sea, he remained in a suit and tie, and his hair was meticulously combed.

The heavy sound of leather shoes pounding on the deck could be heard. "Clap clap clap clap!"

“I always said that some things can’t be compromised. Imperfection is bad and needs to be discarded.”

His Mandarin was completely free of any accent.

Those around who heard this instinctively took a step back.

Some even needed to be supported to stand, and they looked like they were frightened.

However, before James could do anything else, a commotion and cheers erupted from ahead.

James was overjoyed and rushed over to check.

"So, what did you find?"

"Sir, we have made a major discovery!"

"Where is it? Let me see."

James' eyes lit up with immense surprise as he looked at the gold artifact in his hand, which still shone with a golden brilliance despite its corrosive appearance.

He hurriedly inquired about the situation and checked several other places.

Only this one piece of gold was recovered from the scene; the rest were porcelain items.

"These people are all bad and worthless, but I never expected to have such an unexpected gain." He looked thoughtfully and greedily at the water.

This time, he was asked by his company to salvage a sunken ocean-going ship; however, he did not expect that the difficulties would be more than he had imagined. Despite the fact that the existing conditions had reached the highest standards, the ship still drifted at sea for a long time.

The discovery was made as they approached the waters near this mysterious eastern capital!

"Sir, why don't we go down a few more times under the cover of night? The instruments show there are definitely sunken items down there."

"No, our divers can't go out anymore."

"That's right, James, we need to take a break for now."

James's excitement was interrupted, and although he looked annoyed, he still ordered a break.

Once everyone else had started moving and only his trusted colleagues remained on the ship, he began to discuss what to do next.

“We’ve been wandering for so long, the company is already dissatisfied. If we can’t get our things back, none of us will be able to escape.”

Apart from him, all the other positions were also occupied by foreigners.

The group discussed amongst themselves, babbling away in a string of words.

"Hey, hey, hey, what are those foreigners saying? Did you understand them?"

"Shh, I bet they discovered something. Didn't you see how lively it was just now? Too bad they were on guard, so they couldn't see anything!"

"Pah! If it weren't for the high price this foreigner paid, I wouldn't have agreed to lead the way."

"Hey, do you guys think there's something down there? Should we take a look?"

Some people's curiosity has already been satisfied.

Luo Yin dreamed that she was being chased by something, and the faster she ran, the closer the chase became.

Just as she was about to turn around to look, she was suddenly startled awake.

Luo Yin sat up abruptly, looking at the familiar night sky.

Her heart was still pounding with fear, but she breathed a sigh of relief.

"That scared me to death!"

She was a little thirsty, glanced outside, thought for a moment, got dressed, and went out.

She usually doesn't go out at night and always keeps a water bag in her yurt, but she was busy yesterday and forgot. She was very thirsty and was about to go find water in the dark.

But as soon as I went out, I was frozen in place!

What did she see?

What did you see?

What?

What is that?!

Luo Yin was first drawn to the campfire outside, but what she caught her eye was a familiar figure performing some kind of shamanistic ritual.

Yes, it's Old Chen's doing again!

Luo Yin instinctively widened her eyes, afraid of missing something.

The campfire was burning brightly, illuminating a large area around her, because she could clearly see that Old Chen was the only person there.

He turned his back to her, put his hands together in a gesture that was hard to understand, and then started jumping around wildly. Luo Yin couldn't figure it out either!

But she instinctively didn't dare to make a sound, and quietly watched.

The blind man Chen, who was casting the spell, didn't seem to care. His fingers flew as he made hand seals and performed a series of elaborate rituals.

Just as Luo Yin was getting impatient and was about to leave, she suddenly saw Old Chen wave his right hand, and a gust of wind swept by.

Luo Yin's eyes were squinted, and when she opened them again, she saw a fire dragon appear above the campfire.

The fire dragon seemed to have a life of its own, constantly rolling and churning, scorching the air around it.

From a distance, it looks like it's being roasted!

But then the fire dragon seemed to be enraged, constantly rolling the surrounding flames and attacking Old Man Chen; just as it was about to be swallowed up, Old Man Chen took out something, waved it at him, and chanted some incantation, controlling it to stay half a meter away from him.

"What is this?"

Luo Yin was both shocked and excited, wishing she could jump up and down on the spot.

"You've been looking for so long, little girl, why don't you come over here and take a look?"

As she was thinking, she heard the person not far away say something.

"Oh no, they've discovered it!"

Luo Yin looked around but didn't go out immediately.

"There's no one else, it's just you, Luo Yin, come here!"

When someone specifically named her, Luo Yin looked around, her steps trembling slightly.

"Now that you've discovered it, there's no way to hide it from you. Aren't you curious about what it is?"

Seeing that she could no longer hide, Luo Yin decided to stop hiding and walked quickly toward him, stopping a short distance away.

Looking up, I saw that the fire dragon seemed to have stabilized and was no longer throwing a tantrum.

"What...what is this?"

Blind Chen raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing the first smile.

"I told you you'd come! How about it, old brother? I guessed right!"

Luo Yin immediately realized that these words were clearly not directed at her. She looked up sharply and saw that Ani had appeared out of nowhere.

He was standing not far away, watching them.

Looking at Ani, Luo Yin inexplicably felt that he was somewhat aggrieved.

She turned sharply to Old Chen, "You're lying to me?"
