Since there are still three days left, Xiaoxi has plenty of time to deal with Zhang Dongxu.
Whether the kitchen utensil bag belongs to Zhang Dongxu or his assistant, once the tracking talisman has its sights set on them, it will follow them closely, broadcasting all their movements.
This tracking talisman is an upgraded version; it can transform into any form, making it undetectable to Zhang Dongxu.
Xiaoxi felt relieved, packed her things, and prepared to leave the venue with her second brother.
At this moment, Kong Xinlin suddenly appeared, with a fawning smile on his face, "Mr. Ye, Ms. Ye, may I have a word with you in private?"
Based on Kong Xinlin's behavior just now, Xiaoxi probably knows what he's going to say.
Yesterday, his ancestors and his mother came to visit for the second time with sincere intentions. His mother also gave Xiaoxi the winery in Shanghai and the recipes for the wines currently being made there as a token of gratitude and apology.
For this reason, Xiaoxi reluctantly agreed to say a few words to Kong Xinlin.
“Miss Ye, I’m so sorry. My apology yesterday wasn’t sincere enough. I misunderstood that you were trying to harm my son. In fact, you were the one who saved him. I only realized that later.”
Xiao Xi waved her hand dismissively, saying that if Kong Xinlin wanted to say that, there was no need to waste time.
Anyway, we won't have much contact in the future.
Kong Xinlin could tell that Xiaoxi didn't really want to hear his apologies and thanks, so he immediately changed the subject.
"Miss Ye, I feel that there's something wrong with that South Korean contestant. His name is Jang Dong-wook."
Actually, I've been keeping an eye on you two siblings from the beginning, which is why I discovered this person. He appears to be here to compete, but it's not that simple. I'm worried he's up to something big, something that could be detrimental to you, or even worse, to our nation, China.
Although Kong Xinlin was narrow-minded towards Ye Zhongnan before, it must be said that he was still clear-headed about important matters, especially when it came to the interests of the country.
Xiao Xi finally composed herself. "Leader Kong, please just call me Xiao Xi. I will absolutely not let what you said happen."
Kong Xinlin felt reassured to tell Xiaoxi about this, as he had witnessed Xiaoxi's incredible abilities.
He used to be completely skeptical of metaphysics, but now, after meeting Xiaoxi, he's convinced.
The idea that the Korean contestant was a scoundrel was merely his guess. After reminding Xiaoxi, he seemed much more at ease.
However, Kong Xinlin never expected that this incident would actually ease the tension between him and Xiaoxi.
Xiaoxi's thought was that she didn't have any deep-seated hatred for Kong Xinlin, and since he had been punished anyway, it was always better to have more friends.
To avoid suspicion, Kong Xinlin did not personally see Ye Zhongnan and Xiao Xi off from the venue.
Xiaoxi returned to the courtyard house.
In fact, even without Kong Xinlin's reminder, she was always paying attention to Zhang Dongxu's movements.
Through the information transmitted by the tracking talisman, Xiaoxi learned that Zhang Dongxu was a master of ancient martial arts. Hmph, speaking of ancient martial arts, it was passed down from China.
Zhang Dongxu's participation in the culinary competition in China is indeed just a pretext.
As the saying goes, Chinese cuisine is profound and extensive. If one doesn't truly respect and want to learn from Chinese cuisine, why would they come to participate in the competition?
His real purpose was to steal ancient books from the former residence of Prince Gong of the Qing Dynasty in Beijing.
In the hotel where Zhang Dongxu and his assistant were staying, there was an extra light bulb in the bedside lamp. This light bulb, which never lit up, was actually Xiaoxi's tracking talisman.
It clearly conveyed to Xiaoxi the sounds of Zhang Dongxu and his assistant talking in the room.
Although they were speaking Korean, Xiaoxi could understand them.
Zhang Dongxu scoffed, "The Prince Gong's Mansion has long since fallen into decline. Now it's just a museum. According to the information I found, the location is too remote, and tourists rarely visit it."
