Chapter 260 Strange Fishing Boat
No one answered Guo Zekai.
Xia Lili watched him being taken away quietly, the moonlight casting a silent shadow at her feet.
She stretched and yawned lazily: "Ah~ off work~"
Just as she turned around and was about to leave, a series of heavy footsteps suddenly came from the beach.
Pei Qinyue was seen holding up her skirt and running towards her at the speed of a 100-meter sprint.
His big, wavy blond wig had tilted to one side, looking like a bird's nest ravaged by a typhoon.
What's even more amazing is that this "cross-dressing guy" shook his head heroically while running, and with a momentum comparable to Lu Zhishen uprooting a weeping willow, he lifted the wig that blocked his vision to the back of his head, revealing his face that was heavily made up but half of it was gone.
"Master Xia! What's going on? Has the murderer been caught?"
He asked breathlessly, his deep male voice matching the fairytale princess outfit.
The picture is too beautiful to look at.
Xia Lili nodded mechanically, the corners of her mouth twitching slightly: "I suggest you find a Feng Shui master to take a good look at your family's fortune."
Pei Qinyue scratched his head sheepishly, nearly knocking the hairpin off his wig. "This dinner was made possible thanks to you. My dad said he'll give you a bonus..."
He stretched out two fingers and shook them, "Add another 2 million."
Xia Lili instantly perked up, her eyes widening. Between the bounty from solving the serial crime and the magic show fees, her small coffers had already accumulated 6 million yuan.
Add to that 2 million...8 million!
She seemed to have seen the private jet of her dreams waving at her.
"Ahem."
Xia Lili suppressed the upward curve of her lips and waved her hand in a solemn manner, "Actually, it's not that hard. The main thing is..."
She looked up at the starry sky at a 45-degree angle and smiled chastely, "I really enjoy the feeling of being brave and helping others."
Pei Qinyue curved his lips and immediately made a decision: "Then I'll ask you to be the security director for next year's fashion dinner."
Xia Lili suddenly felt guilty: "...Thanks for the invitation, but I may not be able to schedule it."
If the Pei family has this bad luck every year, there will be nothing they can do.
Back in the hotel suite, Xia Lili took a comfortable hot bath. In the misty steam, all the fatigue of the whole day seemed to evaporate with the water vapor.
She threw herself onto the soft big bed wrapped in a fluffy bathrobe, and only then noticed that her cell phone screen was on, showing more than a dozen unread messages.
When I clicked on it, I saw that they were all sent by Jiang Yun:
[Lili, did you go to the mask party?]
[I saw a lot of interesting costumes]
[Are you busy? You go ahead and do your thing~ (emoticon)]
......
Xia Lili quickly replied: "Sorry, sorry, I was on security duty tonight and haven't been checking my phone."
As soon as the message is sent, the dialog box shows "The other party is typing..."
Jiang Yun replied almost instantly: "Mr. Xia, you've worked hard. Have a good rest!"
Then another message came: "Would you like to go sea fishing together tomorrow morning? The cruise ship doesn't return until 11 o'clock, so we still have a few hours to play~"
Xia Lili's eyes lit up. She hadn't really enjoyed the cruise trip these days.
She typed quickly: "Okay!"
After thinking about it, he added an excited emoticon: "Finally, I can relax!"
Xia Lili threw her phone away, fell on the bed and quickly fell asleep.
The next morning.
In the early morning light, Xia Lili walked downstairs with brisk steps.
The vacation she'd always dreamed of!
Xia Lili was wearing a goose yellow floral dress, and her hair was fluttering in the wind under her white fisherman's hat.
Jiang Yun had been waiting downstairs for a long time. The morning light gilded his figure as he sorted out his fishing gear. Two cups of iced lemon tea were covered with water droplets on the wooden table.
As Xia Lili approached, humming a song, he looked up and smiled brightly: "I've been waiting for you!"
Jiang Yun is wearing a refreshing sports outfit today. The pure white quick-drying T-shirt outlines the smooth shoulder line, and the knee-length dark blue sports shorts reveal the well-defined calf muscles.
The two boarded the white fishing boat prepared by the hotel, and Jiang Yun jumped into the driver's seat with a neat step.
Amid the roar of the engine, his arm muscles stretched into beautiful arcs as he controlled the car, and his veins were faintly visible under his honey-colored skin.
The sea breeze blew his black hair into the air, revealing his smooth forehead.
"Contestant Jiang can also drive a boat?" Xia Lili held the side of the boat, a little surprised.
"My father used to be a sailor." He tapped his fingertips lightly on the steering wheel, and the sound mixed with the sound of the waves.
His eyes dimmed for a moment, but when they looked at a certain spot on the sea surface, they were quickly lit up by a smile again.
He turned the steering wheel sharply, and the fishing boat drew a beautiful arc. "Look over there!"
Jiang Yun pointed to a group of leaping silver lights on the sea surface and said, "The boobies are chasing the fish, which means there must be something big down there."
He pointed to the phosphorescent ripples in the distance and said, "Besides, the tide is changing direction. This kind of intersection is the most likely to hide big fish."
Xia Lili looked at his energetic profile. The sea breeze blew his white T-shirt tightly to his body, and the outline of his abdominal muscles was faintly visible.
She hurriedly turned her eyes away: "Then, let's cast our line here!"
The two of them swung their rods at the same time, and the fishing lines drew beautiful arcs in the air.
"Who catches more fish?"
Jiang Yun suggested with a raised eyebrow.
"OK!"
Xia Lili gladly accepted the challenge.
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Yun's fishing rod sank suddenly.
He stood up nimbly and stood at the bow to reel in the line, his arm muscles tensed in perfect lines.
With a "splash", a silver sea fish broke out of the water, drew an arc in the air, and landed accurately in the fish bucket.
"See? The first one is mine~"
Jiang Yun raised his almond-shaped eyes proudly: "Xiaoyu seems to like me more."
Just as he leaned over to show off his trophy, a small crab suddenly jumped out of the fish's belly and accurately clamped his index finger with its claws.
"hiss--"
Jiang Yun suddenly felt pain and let go of his hand.
Xia Lili laughed heartily and joked while helping him deal with the little crab: "It seems that not only the little fish like you, but even the crabs have a special liking for you~"
Jiang Yun said seriously: "It might be my swimming fan who wants to shake hands with me."
Xia Lili burst out laughing.
But soon she couldn't laugh anymore.
Her fishing rod remained motionless, while Jiang Yun kept catching big and small fish.
Isn’t there a novice buff?
Xia Lili held her chin with both hands, sighed softly and looked at the sparkling sea.
Suddenly, she narrowed her eyes——
With her extraordinary eyesight, she saw two blurry black spots on the distant horizon, rising and falling with the waves.
Out of curiosity, she immediately grabbed the telescope.
In the camera, two strangely shaped ships gradually became clear: the hull was painted dark gray, there were metal brackets of unknown purpose standing on the deck, and there was an extra-high-powered external engine installed at the stern.
The most suspicious thing is that there are strange steel plates welded to the side of the ship, which look like they are designed to - wait, the grooves on the steel plates, could they be... slides for quick unloading?
