Chapter 913: Prosperity



Lu Ban didn't know these two people.

In other words, before seeing the information given to him by Trist, Lu Ban had never seen or had any impression of these two people.

This is normal. If Lu Ban finds out that this couple is someone he knew before, it will further prove that this is just a fictional world, because Lu Ban has never come into contact with this businessman couple in the real world.

They should be in their fifties, but they look older, probably due to premature aging caused by the pain of losing their child.

They were obviously Chinese, wearing Hawaiian shirts and shorts, and their expressions were calm but a little nervous.

"This is Mr. Zou Changyu and his wife, Ms. Sun Shuzhi. The villa over there should be his family's property."

Drizzt explained.

Although it is midsummer and the sun is shining directly on the equator, it does not seem hot on the island. The slightly fishy sea breeze takes away the heat and makes you feel cool instead.

Lu Ban suddenly felt like he was on a mission in a foreign land, but now without the cold and indifferent text prompts of the Silent Land, and without all the strange and wonderful supernatural powers, he had to rely on himself for everything.

He looked at the luxurious villa on the mountain. Although it was under the sun, the villa looked a little gloomy.

Years of wind and rain have left the building's exterior walls covered with mottled marks. Some mosses grow lushly in the light-proof corners, while the parts that have been burned by the sun for years are dull and even cracked.

"Damn rich people."

Trist couldn't help but sigh.

Lu Ban had read relevant information on the plane. Zou Changyu's company's main business scope is foreign trade, commerce, etc. At the beginning, it was engaged in cheap daily necessities, clothes, etc. Later, it started to deal in machinery and equipment, minerals, porcelain, and jade. With the favorable conditions in recent years, the business was booming and soon became a large enterprise.

Although it sounds a bit ridiculous to say this, his family has indeed taken off since losing their son.

Most of the islands in the Pacific Ocean were created by submarine volcanic eruptions and violent geological movements. Their characteristic is that there is a mountain in the center of most islands, and the villas are located on the top of the low mountain. It is not known whether the mountains here are relatively flat or whether human construction directly flattened the top of the mountain.

The island is not very big and can be easily overlooked by a private plane. The residents on the island have long experienced the baptism of civilization, or perhaps they are just later immigrants. The indigenous people have long become tombstones of the great maritime discoveries, buried somewhere on this island.

The most commonly used means of transportation on the island is the electric car. Lu Ban took a look and found that it was a domestic brand.

It seems that Zou Changyu and his wife have really brought domestic products overseas.

"Although I really want to talk to the police about our children, we are tired from the journey, so let's go back to the house first."

Zou Changyu asked the driver to drive a six-seater commercial vehicle to pick up Lu Ban and others. He and his wife rode on a small motorcycle, leading the way.

Arriving at the door of the villa, Lu Ban looked up at the window of the villa.

The windows here were all open, and the curtains fluttered in the wind. He swept his eyes over and suddenly saw a young man looking at this side from one of the windows.

When I looked back, there were only light-colored curtains fluttering, and no one in sight.

"What's wrong?"

Amber asked from the side.

"Mr. Zou, do you have any relatives living here?"

Lu Ban asked directly without hesitation.

"No, there is no one except some aunties who are responsible for cleaning and cooking. What's wrong?"

Zou Changyu asked back.

"I just saw a young man on the second floor."

Lu Ban pointed to the house.

"That's the guest room. No one lives there. Maybe it's the cleaning lady?"

Zou Changyu looked a little confused.

"Please don't take it to heart, let's go in first."

Trist said hurriedly, carrying a box. The box didn't look big, but it was a little heavy. It had three layers inside and three layers outside, which bound the jade pendant tightly inside so as not to affect the outside world.

Walking into the villa, the damp feeling became more and more obvious. In a place without sunlight, Lu Ban felt like Heming Taoist's rainy villa, as if it had just been fished out of the water.

He saw what looked like water stains on the wooden handrail of the stairs, but when he reached out to touch it, it was dry. It all seemed like an illusion.

Maybe it was due to design issues, but the lights had to be turned on in the room to make it appear brighter. Instead of rushing to investigate, they were first taken to the guest room.

Lu Ban made a rough simulation and quickly found the room he had just seen.

Unscrewing the slightly loose door handle, he looked inside.

The house also had the smell of damp, but there was nothing strange about it. It was just a clean room.

"I sleep in this room."

Lu Ban said, putting the bag directly on the **.

"Then I'll sleep in the next room."

Amber said immediately.

Lu Ban suspected that if there was not only one bed in the room, she might have slept in her own room.

Several people decided on the rooms. Trist lived in the room closest to the stairs, next to him was Lu Ban, further back was Amber, opposite of Amber was Hongye, and Xia lived opposite of Lu Ban.

He Youwu and Chen Danshen did not live in the villa. They came to the island as individuals and stayed in a small hotel at the pier as support.

After packing up their things, several people went downstairs and came to the restaurant.

Drizzt was holding the box in his hand, and there was no way he would let it leave his side.

Zou Changyu and his wife were already waiting here, with some light meals and snacks.

After a long journey, the young people were almost starving, especially Xia, a foodie, who started to wolf down the food as soon as they greeted each other.

"Mr. Zou, we are here mainly because of a case that happened ten years ago."

Trist didn't eat, but looked at the two of them and said.

"We heard that the criminal who killed our child has been brought to justice."

Zou Changyu said this while holding his wife's hand, and the mother was trembling a little, as if everything happened yesterday.

"Thank you very much, thank you for catching the criminal after so long."

He said sincerely.

If someone else said it in a different tone, it might sound a little sarcastic, but Trist could see that Zou Changyu was indeed serious.

It is difficult to catch a vagrant criminal, not to mention that the criminal has hardly committed similar crimes since then. He could not help killing people until recently. If it were not for Lu Ban, the criminal would have escaped by now. It is good enough to be able to catch the criminal.

"I originally wanted to give you some bonuses as a thank you gift, but considering that you are all public officials, you should not accept this money, so I have to give up."

Zou Changyu said.

"It's okay. I'm not a public official. I'm just an ordinary college student. You can give me a bonus."

Lu Ban answered decisively.

"?"

Zou Changyu was stunned.
