Chapter 129 Purpose
Back in the room, Yang Xining began to search on his mobile phone for all the information about Devil's Island, the mermaid legend, and the widow of the R country war criminal.
She found that there was very little information about this on the Internet.
However, when she typed in [Dr. Zhang Yaomin], a Baidu entry soon appeared.
It turns out that Zhang Yaomin is actually a PhD and used to work for an international beauty research and development company called [Z].
The company is internationally renowned for its cutting-edge biotechnology research and innovative beauty products.
However, Dr. Zhang Yaomin suddenly resigned several years ago, and the specific reason has always been a mystery.
Some speculated that his research projects within the company touched upon certain sensitive or controversial areas, leading to disagreements with senior management.
Yang Xining continued to read in depth.
It was found that Dr. Zhang Yaomin had mentioned the application of "marine bioactive ingredients" many times in his research direction.
Especially the exploration of unknown biological factors that may exist in mermaid meat.
Just as she was immersed in the information, there was a gentle knock on the door.
Yang Xining stood up vigilantly and walked to the door: "Who?"
"It's me, Lanling Chi."
Yang Xining opened the door and saw Lan Lingchi standing at the door with a bowl of steaming noodles in his hand.
"Is there something wrong?" There was a hint of caution in his tone.
Lan Lingchi seemed unaware of her hostility. He raised a handsome smile and said, "Hope, you didn't have dinner, did you?"
Yang Xining raised his eyebrows.
How did he know he hadn't had lunch?
"I brought you a bowl of noodles. Eat it without worry. It's not poisonous."
Yang Xining took it with doubt: "Thank you."
Just as she was about to close the door, Lanling Chi stretched out his long legs to block it.
"Don't you want me to come in and sit down?"
Yang Xining was stunned, then opened the door.
Lan Lingchi walked in with his hands in his pockets, looking lazy.
He stretched, yawned, and said, "Sure enough, your place is the most comfortable. It's too noisy over there."
"..."
Yang Xining was a little confused, and then she saw him lying on her bed without any courtesy.
Lanling Chi closed his eyes with a faint smile on his lips.
"Oh~ It's so comfortable."
"..." A flock of crows flew over Yang Xining's head.
I wondered to myself, what on earth is wrong with this guy?
Why did he suddenly come here and "occupy" her bed?
It seemed that the other party was really unwilling to leave.
Yang Xining was about to wake him up, but he unexpectedly heard his low but clear voice: "Xiangwang, what is your real purpose for coming to this island?"
His sudden question made Yang Xining's heart tremble.
"I want to buy beauty products, is that not okay?"
Lan Lingchi opened his eyes and looked at Yang Xining dimly: "Your skin is already delicate enough, why do you need to add these external things?"
"Then can't I find a place to relax?"
"If you want to relax, why come to a place like this? There are many better places in China and abroad."
"I just like the Arcadia."
However, Lan Lingchi's next words made her smile freeze instantly.
"Then you have to be careful. This island is not as beautiful as it seems."
Yang Xining's heart suddenly tightened and she stared at Lanling Pool.
"Why do you say that? Did you discover something?"
But the only response she got was Lanling Chi's steady snoring.
She looked at Lanling Chi's sleeping face, and again a flock of crows flew by.
The next second, she unceremoniously lifted up Lan Lingchi's collar.
Open the door and throw it out.
Almost at the same time as he landed, Lanling Chi stood up quickly.
At this time he had already realized it deeply.
It turns out that as long as I'm close to her, I won't suffer from insomnia...
……
This was Yang Xining's second morning on the island.
When they gathered for dinner again, the three rich ladies did not show up for a long time.
Xiaowan discovered this problem and asked the female tour guide directly.
The female tour guide said that the three people had already left by boat.
"Why did they suddenly leave first? Didn't everyone go back together in the end?"
Everyone looked at each other, appearing quite puzzled.
The female tour guide smiled and explained, "They seemed to be very satisfied with the effect of the beauty serum, so they decided to leave early and continue their journey elsewhere. This is also common, after all, everyone's schedule is different. Of course, if any of you want to leave early, we will arrange it."
"It turns out that we can go ahead. I'm not used to living here either. If I had known earlier, I would have gone with them." The woman wearing sunglasses, Cheng Yue, said with a frown.
She seemed to be always dissatisfied with the environment on the island, especially the mosquitoes that kept her awake last night.
"Me too. Although the scenery here is beautiful, I always feel like something is wrong. It feels like the people here don't welcome us very much." Xiaowan agreed, her eyes revealing a bit of uneasiness.
"Since everyone thinks so, why don't we discuss it and see if we can all return early."
Fang Shihao suggested. In fact, he had already been thinking about how to take the samples of beauty serum and mermaid meat powder away as soon as possible so that he could make great achievements after returning.
However, Yang Xining felt that things were not that simple.
Lan Lingchi held his cheek with one hand and took a sip of tea. His eyes stayed on Yang Xining's face for a moment, as if he could see through her inner fluctuations.
"Everyone, please be patient. Since everyone wants to leave quickly, we will arrange it as soon as possible tomorrow." Seeing this, the female tour guide did not force them. She smiled and continued, "In addition, tonight, we will take you to visit another wonder on the island - the Mermaid Cave. According to legend, that is where the mermaids once lived, and it is also where ceremonies are often held on the island."
When we heard the word "Mermaid Cave", everyone immediately became interested.
Yang Xining's eyes suddenly became sharp.
Why is the female tour guide talking about mermaids again?
Is it to retain tourists?
After dinner, Yang Xining decided to ask the villagers about the Mermaid Cave first.
This time, she learned her lesson and started recording with her phone.
Step into a quiet street.
On both sides are mottled walls and traces left by time, and the air is filled with a faint fishy smell and the salty and humid sea breeze.
Yang Xining finally saw a middle-aged man who was drying fish.
"Hello, uncle!" Yang Xining greeted politely and raised the mobile phone in his hand.
"I work in self-media and am particularly interested in the local customs and practices here. May I ask if you know if there are any special sacrificial activities here? I want to use my platform to let more people know about these unique cultural traditions."
The middle-aged man paused slightly, his hands, which were slightly rough due to years of labor, stopped in mid-air, and a hint of surprise and confusion flashed in his eyes.
He turned around slowly, his voice hoarse and somewhat uncertain: "Are you... asking me?"
"Yes, uncle. You have lived here for a long time, so you should be familiar with these things."
The middle-aged man was silent for a moment, his eyes began to wander around, and his expression revealed a bit of panic and uneasiness.
Seems to be afraid of something.
