71% of the Earth's surface is surrounded by oceans, and within these vast oceans, at least three million sunken ships lie quietly at the bottom, waiting to be discovered!

Chapter 660: Wearing the same clothes is not a big deal, but whoever is ugly will be embarrassed
"Master, are you kidding me?" Felix asked, puzzled. "For the past decade or so, Villa Eikenhorst has been the de facto royal palace of the Netherlands! Would he give it to you?"
Xiao Peng nodded and said, "Indeed. Of course, there is no such thing as a free lunch, and he also has requirements for me."
"What does he want to talk to you about?" Felix asked quickly.
Boko, standing nearby, grabbed two more bottles of light beer from the refrigerator. After listening to Felix's words, he said, "It must be about the shipwrecks. The Dutch, they were the 'coachmen of the sea' back then. The sea is littered with their shipwrecks."
Felix said, "Boko, of course I know what you said, but the Dutch ships at that time were mainly cargo ships. Although many of them were valuable, as my master said, most of them were 'worthless' shipwrecks. Could they also have ships loaded with gold and silver? Master, am I correct?"
Xiao Peng shook his head. "That's basically correct, but there are some inaccuracies. He really came to me about a sunken ship that has no salvage value."
"Ah?" Boko and Felix tilted their heads and looked at Xiao Peng.
Xiao Peng said, "I can't mention this matter right now. I'll ask Abby to get the information from William. Once the information arrives and I'm sure about it, I can decide whether to tell you or not. This is the industry rule."
"Oh. Then I won't ask." Felix said obediently.
Xiao Peng asked, "Felix, how's your investigation going on with the matter I asked you to help me investigate?"
What did he ask Felix to investigate? Yasmine's identity, of course! He still couldn't understand how two people could be so similar in the world. He just wanted to know the relationship between Yasmine and Tiltie.
Felix glanced up and whispered, "Master, I've investigated what you asked me to do, but I don't have any leads. Tilti never mentions her family, and I've never seen her use the phone. But I've seen her passport, and her name is indeed Yasmin. Her full name is Yasmin-Gustaf, and she's Swedish. She's been posting her freebeats on YouTube and is now a well-known electronic music producer. Master, why are you so interested in her?"
Xiao Peng explained: "Did I make a mistake? I really know a girl who looks exactly like her."
Felix's eyes widened. "Really? Master, I thought it was just an excuse for you to pick up girls!"
"Get out!" Xiao Peng stood up from the sofa.
"Master, what are you going to do?" Felix asked in confusion.
Xiao Peng said, "Call the restaurant and ask them to prepare dinner. Can you really let Marlene cook? I don't want to die after eating."
After hearing this, Felix hurriedly said, "Master, I was just teasing my sister. Marlene won't die after eating anything she cooks."
"Oh?" Xiao Peng put down the phone in his hand: "She really can cook?"
Felix grinned and said, "I just said she couldn't lose her life. I didn't say she could cook. If she eats Marlene's food, she'll at most be sent to the hospital for gastric lavage."
"..." Xiao Peng picked up his phone again. He wasn't a masochist.
In fact, he still felt Felix was exaggerating. What was this "war between women"? How many times had Abby met him? How could she possibly be interested in him?
What he didn't know was that what William said was very to the point, and Xiao Peng left a deep impression on Abby.
She had treated Xiao Peng in the same way before, but when she was in danger, Xiao Peng was able to stand up for her regardless of past grudges. This behavior showed that Xiao Peng was a very good man. And when Xiao Peng was faced with such a valuable villa, he was able to give up the bet that he was sure to win, which showed that he was a kind person. This made her like Xiao Peng even more.
But that was just a 'good impression', she wanted to spend more time with Xiao Peng before deciding on the next step. And Malin's appearance sounded a wake-up call for her: Yes, a good man has competitors.
Why are there so many older women these days? To put it bluntly, it's because their standards are too high. They don't like the people they like, and the people they like may not like them...
Of course, both Abby and Marlene were entitled to choose men, but who wouldn't want better? And even if they met a good woman, their reserve could still lead to missed opportunities: in this world, one-sided love is far more likely than mutual love.
Besides, women are naturally competitive, and fighting for food always tastes better than eating on their own. Seeing Marlene so anxiously asserting her dominance, Abby also felt a surge of competition: Yeah, if Marlene is so eager to fight for it, why shouldn't she do the same? Besides, she's no worse than Marlene!
As for Marlene, she hadn't initially thought of being so proactive. She'd originally thought she wasn't afraid of any competitor and was confident she could handle Xiao Peng. But when she saw Xiao Peng and Abby chatting and laughing, she suddenly became anxious.
In terms of looks and figure, Abby was not inferior to her... The only thing that comforted her was that Abby's breasts didn't look big either...
But if the two of them were to compete in intelligence, Marlene would feel inferior.
Although Marlene had also gone away to study since she was young, she went to England to study acting and didn't place any emphasis on academic achievement. But Abby? She was a doctor, a doctor far superior to her peers. Furthermore, her family background was impressive. Although she was an illegitimate child, her father was the king! Comparing the two, Marlene found herself inferior in every way.
That's why she hurried down when she saw Xiao Peng and Abby chatting, and spoke like a "hostess".
But Abby was so smart that she not only saw at a glance that there was nothing going on between her and Xiao Peng, but also aroused Abby's desire to win. Now, Xiao Peng, the person involved, was still standing there confused and didn't know what was going on, while the two of them had already started to get busy, taking a shower, putting on makeup, looking for clothes... They were ready to fight for the person.
"I'm coming!" Felix answered the doorbell, looking like he was just looking for trouble. Inside, Marlene hurriedly asked Yasmine to check her outfit: she was wearing a tight, off-the-shoulder red Versace silk evening gown, dressed as if she were walking down the red carpet or attending a cocktail party.
As a result, when the door opened, the atmosphere suddenly froze.
Abby outside and Marlene inside looked at each other, neither of them saying a word. Felix, who was holding the door, didn't know what to say.
Because Abby is wearing the exact same clothes as Marlene. Although the shoes are slightly different, the colors are exactly the same. What the hell is this?
Xiao Peng couldn't hold it in any longer and burst out laughing. "It's not a big deal if you wear the same clothes. Whoever is ugly will be embarrassed. Are you two competing against each other? You've made a home-cooked meal like a war. Well, who won this battle? Is it considered a match?"
"Doctor Van Vobeck, do you want to help me beat this guy up?"
"good!"
