On the river surface of Heilongjiang, a white yacht is driving quietly.

This is a 30-meter luxury yacht, the overall shape of the streamline, the white hull is trimmed with gold, and it does not fit in with other ships on the river.

At eight o'clock in the morning, a rapid ringing of mobile phones woke up the man who was sleeping in the cabin.

This man has an oriental face, he is very handsome, and his thin beard shows the temperament of a mature man.

Beside him, lying on his side was a Caucasian woman who was at most twenty years old, her whole body white and snowy skin was covered with silk sheets, and her huge undulating body curves led to reverie.

The man took the phone from the bedside and looked at it, pulled away the arm of the woman who was holding him, and sat up on the round bed.

The woman let out an "um" and rolled over in a daze.

The man bent down on the carpet to fetch a silk bathrobe and put it on, walked to the deck with his mobile phone, and answered the phone.

"Boss, it's done. The voice of the scar-faced man Yu Ruifeng came from the other end of the phone.

"Where's the goods?"

"It's all loaded on the ship, boss, you are right, they are all cultural relics of the Northern Song Dynasty, well-preserved, and Mr. Liu on the scene is valued at more than two billion US dollars. ”

"Hmm. The one surnamed Liu can't stay, you know how to deal with it. ”

"I know. Boss, what about the hooked snake?"

"Leave it alone. The man said, "Think of it as a gift from me to the nephew of the Lin family." ”

"Yes. ”

After hanging up the phone, the man looked at the rolling river, his eyelids trembled, and the corners of his mouth slowly pulled out an arc.

He whispered:

"Lin Leshan, did you see it in the sky?"

"This is the consequence of your usurpation of Xiaoyun. ”

......

In the underground cave, Lin Shuo and his party were walking slowly.

It's like a journey with no end in sight.

Wei Xingshan's headlamp has been replaced with a set of batteries, but there is still no end in sight to this long river below.

The only thing they know is that they have been going downhill.

The downhill is not large, but there is no doubt that the hole is getting deeper and deeper.

He Zihong's wheezing sound became louder and louder, and finally, at Wei Xingshan's suggestion, everyone rested in place for a while.

In order to ensure that there was enough oxygen, the men each pulled away from each other, and given the limited battery, they all turned off their headlights.

Lin Shuo and Anne are at the forefront of the team. At this time, Anne sat next to Lin Shuo, and the two were almost shoulder to shoulder.

"Mr. Lin. Anne asked softly, "Do you think there's danger here?"

"Nope. Lin Shuo said, "With the size of this hole, neither the hook snake nor the snake can enter." ”

"Since this may be the Black Water Dragon's Lair, there should be more space in the depths, right?"

"Hmm. ”

There was silence between the two, and Anne pricked up her ears to listen for a while, and noticed that the group of mercenaries not far away were chatting.

The sound echoed through the cavern, a little noisy.

Anne didn't stop them, she knew that although they were talking lightly, they were actually emboldening each other.

Seeing that no one noticed this, Anne lowered her voice and asked, "Mr. Lin, the last time you mentioned your mother, I have actually been very strange since then, why did she disappear for no reason, and also took the keel wrench." Is it ......?"

"I know what you're thinking. Lin Shuo said, "Do you think my mother may be an undercover agent of the Yun family who broke into the Lin family?

"Yes. But it's too expensive, isn't it?" Anne lamented.

She didn't say everything in her heart.

If things are really as she thinks, a woman can give birth to all the children with others for the sake of a wrench, it is too unscrupulous.

"You don't read those bloody novels in the future. Lin Shuo complained, "That's not the case. ”

"Why is that?" said this, Anne seemed to realize that something was wrong, "Of course, this is your private matter, and if you don't want to talk about it, it's fine. ”

"Okay, then I won't talk about it. Lin Shuo replied very simply.

“......”

"I don't know much about my mother. I only heard Lin Shuo say slowly, "My feelings for her over the years are actually very complicated. She ran away from home when I was a year old and never returned, and my father died in front of me because he tried to find out her whereabouts.

It stands to reason that I should hate my mother, but for some reason, I just can't hate her, and I've dreamed of her twice recently.

I think it's probably because blood is thicker than water. ”

Anne's heart was slightly touched, she couldn't help but think of her parents, but she didn't say anything, but quietly waited for Lin Shuo to continue.

"After my mother disappeared with a keel wrench, my father went to the Yun family and confirmed that it had nothing to do with the Yun family. Lin Shuo continued, "I was still young at the time, and this matter was judged by my father, so I naturally believed him. So why my mother disappeared is a mystery. ”

Anne felt uncomfortable when she heard this, and she asked softly, "Do you remember what she looked like?"

"Yes. Lin Shuo said, and then added, "Of course, this is not what I remember when I was a year old. But when I was five years old, my father thought that he might never find my mother again, so he gave me a photo, pointed to the woman on it and said to me, "This is my mother, let me remember her." ”

As she spoke, Anne heard the sound of a sneo nearby.

Aware of this, she took the flashlight out of her bag and twisted it away.

I saw Lin Shuo take out a pocket watch from his arms.

It was clearly an old object, and the pattern on the cover was polished.

Lin Shuo opened the lid of the watch, and Anne found that the mirror surface of the watch was full of water vapor, which had long been broken.

And on the inside of the cover, lined with a picture of a woman.

Anne was a little flattered, she didn't expect Lin Shuo to show her a photo of his mother.

"Do you know why I showed you this photo?" Lin Shuo asked softly.

Anne shook her head.

"If you look closely, you'll find out. Lin Shuo said a word, and handed the pocket watch to Anne.

Anne took the flashlight in her mouth, took the watch with both hands, then removed the flashlight and looked at it carefully.

With just one look, Anne couldn't help but exclaim, "It's so beautiful!"

This photograph is a few years old, and it is not in color, but on the basis of a black and white photograph, and then artificially colored.

This kind of process, even in remote places in China, was eliminated as early as 20 years ago, and it is obvious that this photo is at least 20 years ago.

And the woman in the photo, even in today's aesthetics, is a peerless beauty.

She is wearing a floral dress, long hair and shawl, and her facial features are beautiful, which has a unique charm of oriental women.

Her eyes, as if they have magical powers, make people can't take their eyes off them at a glance.

Even as a woman, Anne felt the charm of this woman deeply.

She has been the most beautiful woman in the circle since she can remember, but this photo gives her a feeling of a peacock seeing a phoenix.

Fortunately, she was a woman after all, and she didn't indulge in this peerless face for too long, she remembered Lin Shuo's words, looked at this photo carefully, and then saw some clues.

"She's like...... Anything like me?" Anne asked.

"Yes. Lin Shuo said, "But it's not on your facial features, your facial features are too glamorous, not as good as my mother's connotation." Your likeness is temperamental. ”

"Hmm. Although Lin Shuo's words were not so nice to Anne, Anne had to admit that he was the truth.

The woman in the photo, although her facial features are completely different from her own, the temperament of the two is indeed very similar.

It's the kind of self-confidence that is wrapped perfectly, and it looks like a quiet temperament.

Anne's hand was empty, and the pocket watch had been taken back by Lin Shuo.

He glanced at the photograph, then gently closed the lid and carefully tucked it into his arms.

"Your mother is so beautiful, there must have been a lot of people chasing her when she was young, right?" asked Anne softly, extinguishing the flashlight in her hand.

"I heard my father say it's a lot. At that time, many young people in the hunting gate flocked to my mother, but my father still succeeded. Lin Shuo smiled.

"Then how do I feel that your deeds are so far from your father's?" said Anne.

As soon as she said this, she regretted it, it was too undignified, and she didn't pay attention to proportion.

"Of course I'm not as good as my dad. Lin Shuo cleverly avoided the past.

"I envy you. Anne said.

"What do you envy me?" Lin Shuo was a little puzzled, "You don't look bad, and your mother must be very beautiful." ”

"Not this one. Anne sighed, "I envy you and know so much about your parents. ”

"What?" Lin Shuo was a little strange, "Do you know anything about your parents?"

"Hmm. Anne nodded, "I was raised by my mentor, and at first I thought he was my father, but later I learned that he was a friend of my parents. ”

"So, he's actually your adoptive father?"

"Yes. He prefers to have me call him a mentor though. Anne said, "Actually, my mentor originally wanted to come to this operation in person, but he had something to do temporarily, so he recommended two candidates to me, one is you and the other is Mr. Zhang Lianhai." ”

"Your teacher, it should be a Miao family hunter, right?"

"Yes. "He is the main lineage of the Miao family, and he was originally qualified to inherit the position of the head of the Miao family, but he moved to the United States twenty years ago, and since then he has been obsessed with biological research, and has not taken care of other things." ”

"I see. Lin Shuo nodded, "Okay, they should be almost rested, let's continue on their way." ”
