Now that the three of them are sharing the island's affairs, Xiaoxi's workload has been greatly reduced.
Basically, he became a hands-off manager.
She manages to spend some time each day helping her third brother in the lab. The medicine he's researching, which now includes a plant solution of Viola yedoensis, is basically stable.
Xiaoxi spends most of her time on the island sunbathing.
The four of them are now enjoying the breeze and coconut juice under a parasol, gazing at the sea view with great pleasure.
Suddenly, Han Yu, with sharp eyes, exclaimed, "Boss, look, the speedboat is coming!"
Xiaoxi was about to observe carefully.
Tong Biao suddenly scrambled and crawled down in front of Xiao Xi.
"Boss, save me! Only you can save me."
"Tong Biao, it's not even the New Year yet, why are you performing such a grand ceremony? What's the matter? Speak!"
Tong Biao, having previously worked as a pirate, recognized the approaching boat as a police speedboat.
Besides, he has connections in Shanghai. Someone revealed that the cousin of a local tyrant in Dongcheng disappeared while looking for fun on the island.
I just gave him a heads-up yesterday, but I didn't expect the wolf to come so soon.
Xiao Xi said calmly, "Tong Biao, what are you worried about?"
Weren't all the people in Courtyard No. 8 dismissed? And the courtyard has already been razed to the ground.
Besides, didn't I already take over the goods in the armory? The marijuana growers are all using them to grow medicinal herbs, and the workshops are using them to grow mushrooms.”
Tong Biao was still sweating profusely. He had figured out that as long as he obeyed, Boss Ye wouldn't make things difficult for him.
He would be pulled into operating a sewing machine from any of the jobs he had done before.
Besides, all the patrons of Courtyard No. 8 drowned, and their families, especially the local thugs, could easily get him shot.
Xiaoxi could see that Tong Biao was afraid and uneasy.
"Tong Biao, you're one of my men now. I'll protect you no matter what. Alright, alright, call all your men over here, and be quick!"
Because the speedboat had already docked at the small harbor, the police had already boarded the island and were heading this way.
Soon, Tong Biao's men scrambled to the front of the main building in a panic.
Xiaoxi smiled and said, "Look at you grown men, you're not calm at all when things happen. I'll teach you a lesson for now. Remember to stay calm in a bit."
Xiao Xi took out some talismans from her pouch and threw them at the group of men.
A cloud of smoke billowed up with a "boom".
As the smoke cleared, the scene in the open space changed.
Tong Biao has transformed into a plump and beautiful young wife with slightly dark skin.
The rest of the people were either middle-aged women, older women, or young girls.
They were mending fishing nets or drying medicinal herbs in the open space; it was an ordinary scene of labor.
Su Linran and the other two burst out laughing.
This is so damn magical! Xiaoxi is so talented!
Soon, Xiaoxi saw two fishermen, looking menacing, leading Director Zhang, Captain Zhao, and the criminal police team, marching towards them in a grand procession.
Accompanying them were several arrogant men and a beautiful woman, who clearly came with ill intentions.
Xiaoxi had already stood up and called out with a grin.
"Director Zhang, Captain Zhao, what brings you here? Why didn't you call me beforehand?"
Director Zhang and Captain Zhao took one look and, sure enough, it was Xiao Xi: I knew it, there must have been a misunderstanding.
Their laughter was somewhat awkward, yet very amiable.
"No wonder we haven't seen Minister Ye for so long, he's been vacationing on the island."
Tong Biao: My God, Minister Ye?
Why are the police chief and the criminal investigation captain acting so friendly and even a little afraid of offending Boss Ye?
However, the heavy weight that had been hanging over his heart suddenly lifted.
