Hearing this, Ye Lan raised his eyebrows slightly and a smile appeared on his lips.
"Don't worry, no one in this world can force me except my master."
The former is mostly because she respects her teachers.
Xiao Yunting looked at her and felt helpless for the first time, so he could only hand over his cell phone.
The second meaning of her words is: If it is something she agreed to, then it is voluntary.
Sure enough, in this short phone call of only two or three minutes, Ye Lan agreed to almost all the requests.
After hanging up the phone, she turned her head and winked at him, which was rare. She said in a playful tone, "I'll take you out to sea, and everything will be reimbursed for the business trip."
Xiao Yunting: "..."
Does he look like someone who needs this little money?
But he knew that the girl was showing weakness to him, and there was nothing he could do about her. He could only raise his head and scratch the tip of her nose, "Then I have to thank you."
"You're welcome." Ye Lan responded without hesitation.
The two then bid farewell to the crew.
Before leaving, the leading actress came to apologize to Ye Lan. "Before, I thought you were being disrespectful to me by talking to that guy, but I didn't expect you to have noticed his deception. If I were alone in this situation, I would definitely be deceived. Several agents have already contacted me through their connections, saying that many of their female artists have also disappeared, and asked me to ask you to find them."
Ye Lan shook his head upon hearing this, but didn't take it seriously. He simply reminded them, "You guys are often filming and rarely exposed to outside information. You are a group of people who are easily deceived. If you have any problems, you should still discuss them with the people around you. As for the missing people, I will do my best."
"Okay, I'll remember that." The leading actress nodded obediently. She was obviously a few years older than Ye Lan, but she acted like a naive child in front of her.
Later, the two of them talked about this matter on the way back to the Wu family. Xiao Yunting was not optimistic about the fate of those girls.
"Judging from that man's mental state, he's also an outsider, but he's been hypnotized by the pharmacist. He must have arrived on the island not long ago, so he's desperately trying to attract business, which is why he broke into the live broadcast room." He pulled Ye Lan up the stairs step by step, walking through the mist shrouded by the setting sun, his back straight and broad. "These people suddenly started doing business, which means that there are some urgent activities going on on the island. Those activities require young women, so these targets are likely to be killed as soon as they are captured."
He is a businessman who was able to develop the Xiao Group into a world-renowned business empire in ten years. His observation and analytical skills are naturally no worse than Ye Lan's.
Although he was off-camera at the time, he paid no less attention to details than Ye Lan, and the conclusion he came to was completely consistent with what Ye Lan was thinking.
"Hmm." She responded softly in agreement, then looked up at the Feitian Ferry, which was a thousand-foot-high hanging river in front of her. Although some of her words sounded a bit cold-blooded at the moment, she said, "The Wu family's chance has come."
The breakthrough they had been looking for finally came to them.
At night, the Wu family hall was brightly lit.
After hearing the whole story, Mr. Wu slammed the table in anger.
"Those bastards! I know what they're going to do." Veins popped out of his forehead, and he gritted his teeth, wishing he could break them. He immediately decided, "I'm going to gather all my disciples now, and tomorrow we'll go out to sea with you to capture them."
If it wasn't so late, he wouldn't even want to wait all night.
However, Ye Lan shook his head and dismissed the idea calmly, "The police have already dispatched enough forces, and I can deploy personnel at any time. It is not appropriate for the Wu family to intervene."
"But, but how can this be possible..." Old Master Wu disagreed as soon as he heard it, waving his hands repeatedly and saying, "This is originally a grudge between our two families. I am very sorry to trouble you. How can the Wu family not contribute at all?"
This is unacceptable.
"This isn't just a personal feud anymore; it's a social issue. Peach Blossom Island is suspected of a large-scale human trafficking case, and the police should be handling it." Ye Lan pointed out the key point. If it had been a personal feud before, a fight might have been enough. But now it's official, and they could be sent to jail in a matter of minutes.
After Wu Xingxiao calmed down a bit, he knew his plan had failed, but he still felt at a loss. "So, what can we do this time? We can't do nothing at all."
Of course I can.
Otherwise, Ye Lan wouldn't have spent so much time explaining the whole story to them.
"Master Wu, is the deed for purchasing Peach Blossom Island still there?" She turned to look at Wu Xingjie and asked.
Wu Xingjie was stunned by this sudden mention, then nodded and said, "Yes, my father scolded me when I bought the island, so I just left the title deed at home."
"That's good." Ye Lan nodded, picked up the teacup beside him, took a sip slowly, and said, "You are coming with me this time. First, we need to break the medicinal power of Peach Blossom Island, and second... we need to take back our own land as a victim."
ah?
Wu Xingjie opened his mouth wide and couldn't say anything for a long time.
I never thought that taking back Peach Blossom Island could be done this way.
The next day, the group boarded a vehicle specially arranged by the authorities at the entrance of the Feitiandu Scenic Area.
Because the entourage includes a big shot like Xiao Yunting, they are equipped with the highest level of explosion-proof vehicles, and are protected by many armed personnel in front and behind.
There were more than a dozen vehicles escorting them. Ye Lan, Xiao Yunting, Wu Xingjie and his son Wu Heng were in the middle and were escorted all the way to the East China Sea Port in the neighboring province.
At the port, police cars were lined up on the shore. All the fishing boats that usually set sail had stopped operating, and the outermost area was filled with coast guard ships flying flags.
"Mr. Xiao, Miss Ye, you are here. According to the information provided by the Xiao family, we have equipped a corresponding number of personnel to participate in this arrest operation. I am the captain of this operation, Shi Zhong." A middle-aged man in uniform with tanned skin came over, shook hands with the two and introduced himself.
When Ye Lan heard the other person's name, he couldn't help but pause, then looked at the other person's face and smiled.
This man is the brother of Shi Feng, the captain of the special management department team.
When she looked at the other person, Shi Zhong was obviously looking at her.
Because the case was rather special, he had contacted his brother in advance, and he also learned about this foreign aid currently hired by the special department, who was said to be very powerful.
But this delicate and beautiful face in front of me, and the slender figure that looks like it could be blown away by the wind, really... I can't see what's so great about it?
Of course, this is not something you can say in front of Xiao Yunting. After all, he is a real big boss and the commander-in-chief of this operation.
After saying hello, all the personnel boarded the ship one after another.
As the last victim to leave Taohua Island, Wu Heng recalled the island's topographic map and the approximate distribution of people to the police on the boat, thereby providing clues for the police to distinguish between outsiders and indigenous residents.
"It's incredible that such a big island, which is only eighty nautical miles away, disappeared out of thin air." Shi Zhong patrols the sea all year round and has seen many strange phenomena, but this is the first time he has heard of one like this.
Hearing this, Wu Xingjie smiled, raised his hand and waved it into the air, then his whole body disappeared into the air, and then suddenly appeared again the next second.
"This isn't surprising. Pharmacists are good at using medicine. As long as there's enough medicine, it wouldn't be difficult to shield the entire island."
