Wen Xi said, "Is it my fault?"
Qin Chen chuckled. "No, no, I don't. The Special Management Bureau may not be able to arrive in time, and if we can't follow up on the situation at the hotel in time, I'll have to trouble Miss Wen for help. Don't worry, I'll reimburse all the expenses for food, accommodation, etc. over there."
Wen Xi said, "That's not necessary. You and your cousin are exactly the same. My vacation this time is already included, so there is no need to pay any other expenses."
Qin Chen hesitated and said, "Oh? Uncle and nephew? Could it be that the previous rumors are true, you and Qin Anhe..."
"Stop, stop. I didn't expect you to be so nosy. Qin Anhe and I are just ordinary friends. He is much closer to my third brother than to me. You can doubt their relationship but not ours."
Wen Xi held his forehead with a headache, and really didn't want to explain his pure friendship with Qin Anhe again.
Qin Chen laughed. "You're putting the blame squarely on Wen Jinyu. Well... I was just saying it casually. You don't have to take it to heart. Since Qin Anhe has already bought everything, I'll give you a few other things as a reward. What do you think?"
Knowing that Qin Chen had other good things, Wen Xi gladly accepted it. "That's great, I'll reluctantly agree to it."
After finishing speaking, Wen Xi returned the phone to the hotel manager. The manager's forehead was already covered with cold sweat. He swallowed his saliva, humbly took the phone and said a few words. He finally breathed a sigh of relief after the other party hung up.
"Hello, Miss Wen. I'm the hotel manager. You can call me Manager Zheng. Was it President Qin who spoke to you just now?"
Manager Zheng asked cautiously.
Wen Xi nodded and said, "Yeah, wasn't it Qin Chen who spoke to you just now?"
Qin Chen?
Manager Zheng's breathing slowed, his lips trembling as he spoke, "I...how could I possibly have the right to communicate directly with President Qin? It was President Qin's secretary who just told me that. I didn't expect you to have such a relationship with President Qin. Don't worry, you can have fun here. If you need anything, just contact me and I'll arrange everything for you."
Wen Xi said, "We need it now. Please help us arrange a speedboat. We want to go out to sea!"
Manager Zheng was stunned. "Ah? Going out to sea at this time? This, this, this..."
Yue Yan understood her thoughts. "Do you want to take charge of this matter?"
Wen Xi blinked her beautiful eyes and said, "It can be considered a barter, but this time out at sea, the sea may not be smooth, so don't all follow. Song Shiming, you take Yanran and the others to the island. Yue Ling, Yue Yan, and I will go together."
Chu Yanran waved her fist excitedly and said, "Ah? I was thinking about going out to sea together. It's been a long time since I went out to sea."
Wen Xi said, "What if you come across something, would you like it?"
Chu Yanran shuddered and shook her head timidly, "I don't like it. I'll be obedient and go play with them."
Song Shiming looked at his ankle, which still had a bluish-gray handprint on it.
"How about I go out to sea with you guys, and Chen Quan and Wang Qinghe will take Chu Yanran out to play."
Song Shiming thought for a moment and made up his mind.
"ah?"
Everyone looked at Song Shiming in surprise. Chen Quan said directly, "That shouldn't be the case, Brother Ming. Aren't you afraid of ghosts too? Why do you want to go with us? Weren't you scared yesterday in the sea?"
Song Shiming rolled his eyes at him. "When you're swimming in the sea and someone suddenly grabs your ankle, how can you not be startled? Isn't that normal? It's just... after I went home last night, I don't know why, but I had a very strange dream. Anyway, the dream was bizarre and scary, as if I were sailing on the sea. I couldn't wake up, and I was wondering..."
Wen Xi said, "You suspect this dream is related to the incident where your ankle was grabbed, right? So you want to go and see it?"
Song Shiming nodded and said, "Yes, otherwise my mind would be full of this matter."
Wen Xi warned, "Okay, then Chen Quan, Wang Qinghe, you guys should be careful when you play, and remember to protect Yanran."
"Okay, don't worry, Sister Wen, we will!"
"You guys should be careful when you go out to sea. It's the ocean!"
After they exchanged a few words of advice, Manager Zheng quickly went to prepare a speedboat for them to go out to sea.
The sun was shining brightly outside, the sea was calm, and everything seemed fine.
Manager Zheng personally escorted them to the dock, where a luxurious speedboat was already waiting. He hesitated and asked, "Um...if we're going out to sea, does anyone here know how to drive a boat?"
Several people were stunned, looking at each other and shaking their heads.
Yue Ling said, "Yuze City is not close to the sea. I haven't even been out to sea many times, let alone driving a speedboat."
Song Shiming said, "I have a speedboat at home, and my brother once taught me how to drive it, but... do you dare to ride it?"
Wen Xi and Yue Yan shook their heads at the same time, "We dare not!"
Manager Zheng quickly smiled and said, "Don't worry, we have people driving our speedboats here. We'll find someone to take you out to sea right away."
"Okay, thank you for your trouble!"
Soon, Manager Zheng called a middle-aged man over. He was wearing a hat and a sun-protection mask on his face. He kept his head down and didn't say anything.
"This is Lao Wang. He's been driving speedboats for many years and is a veteran employee of ours. He'll take you out to sea, but if there are any problems, he'll return immediately."
Manager Zheng gave many warnings, fearing that something might happen to these distinguished guests.
"Okay, see you later, Manager Zheng!"
Wen Xi glanced at the taciturn Old Wang, and got on the speedboat with Yue Ling, Yue Yan and the others.
The speedboat quickly sailed out of the dock. They sat on the top deck of the boat. A lot of food and drinks were already placed on the table. The sea breeze blew, and the boat was bumping along the sea, which was quite comfortable.
Song Shiming leaned back on the sofa and said cheerfully, "Everything seems to be normal. Could it be that we can't run into them because it's not evening yet? If I had known, I would have asked Wang Qinghe and the others to come along."
Wen Xi picked up a cocktail and watched them get farther and farther away from the dock until they were completely out of sight. The sunlight above their heads gradually dissipated, and dark clouds covered their heads. They seemed to have come to another space. The waves gradually became bigger, and Song Shiming was almost vomiting from the bumpy ride.
"Fuck, I take that back. What the hell is going on? It was sunny just now, why is it so different here? And it's so bumpy, ugh..."
Song Shiming leaned dejectedly against the railing, his face pale.
Yue Yan's face turned pale as he said, "Song Shiming, didn't you say you could drive a speedboat? Can't you handle this level? You're not very good at it."
