When Chen Xing checked the van, there were two cars passing on the highway, both of which passed quickly, and none of them paid attention to the parking on the side of the road, maybe even if they did, no one wanted to meddle with things, the Tamil Tigers have been making too much noise recently, and everyone was in fear, and it was better to have more than one thing and one thing less.

After waiting for a few minutes, Ivan hadn't come back yet, so Chen Xing returned to the location where his pickup truck was parked first. Seeing that there was no figure of Manager Wu and Luo Jingye next to the palm tree behind the car, he shouted a few words loudly, and at the same time released his perception and found that the two had run to a place more than 500 meters away in the woods to hide. Five minutes later, the two men walked out cautiously and cautiously from the depths of the woods at the sound of Chen Xing's call.

Seeing Chen Xing standing alone next to the pickup truck and not being injured, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time asked worriedly, "What about Ivan? Is he okay?"

Chen Xing said in a low voice: "Ivan is fine, we beat away that group, he will chase after him, and he should be back soon." ”

Luo Jingye asked with a little puzzlement: "I heard a few gunshots just now, you weren't injured, right? Who are they, how can they still have guns? When did the law and order in Sri Lanka become so chaotic, it can't be the Tamil Tigers again?"

Chen Xingcong shouldered, spread his hands unknowingly, and said: "That group of people is so fierce because they have two guns in their hands, they really dare to kill." Ivan took advantage of their unpreparedness and knocked out the gun, they were weak, their physical fitness was not good, they were beaten by us, and they scattered and ran away, Ivan was angry, so he chased after them. I was afraid that you would be worried, so I came back first. ”

The two men were still nervously spinning around in front of the pickup, anxiously looking at the jungle ahead. Chen Xing couldn't comfort them too much, so he could only wait with them.

It was about half an hour before Ivan came out of the woods, slightly dusty and still holding the dagger in his hand.

Seeing Luo Jingye and Manager Wu looking at the dagger in their hands in disbelief, Ivan said to Chen Xing in Russian: "It's all dealt with, the four are buried quite deep, and they won't be easily discovered." ”

Chen Xing nodded slightly, understanding the fate of the injured and unconscious man, this may be the most correct way to deal with it. Then he said in Russian: "I didn't tell them the specifics, I just said that those people were beaten away by us, and you went to chase them for a while." ”

Ivan let out a conscious "um", carefully wiped the handle of the dagger in his hand with his coat, and threw it far away into the depths of the jungle, no longer squeaking.

Chen Xing said to Luo Jingye and Manager Wu in Huaxia again: "Ivan didn't catch up with those people, they ran faster than rabbits in the woods, it seems that they should be from the Tiger Organization." ”

Luo Jingye hurriedly said: "If you can't catch up, forget it, I checked it just now, the car is fine, it's just that the bullet broke off a piece of paint, let's go quickly, don't have something happen in a while, the people in the LTTE are crazy, and we can't afford to provoke people who use themselves as bombs." ”

There was no objection to this, and after getting in the car, we continued to drive in the direction of Colombo. This time, Chen Xing and Ivan sat in the back seat, and Ivan secretly handed Chen Xing four metal "flutes" the size of little fingers. Carefully taking over these "four" tickets to hell, Chen Xing was filled with emotion, was this a commemoration of his first murder? He was speechless, but secretly and silently included the "flute" in the "Linglong Sumeru Ring", and suddenly lost it!

Behind him, the Toyota van was left out of sight, like a wandering orphan who could no longer find his way home. Deep in the woods, in a piece of dirt that could not be seen to have been dug up, four lonely souls, waiting to rot and add nourishment to the tall palm trees.

…… …… ……

At about three o'clock in the afternoon, everyone returned to the city of Colombo, the road cordon had not yet been evacuated, there were few pedestrians on the road, and the whole city was still full of tension and gloom.

After changing his car back from a friend, he asked for everyone's consent, Luo Jingye drove the car to the post office, except for Ivan, everyone really wanted to report safety to their families.

Chen Xing called his mother first, but said that there was no implication in the explosion here, everything was safe, he didn't want his family to worry, anyway, the news in China would not report the details of international events, not to mention that even the Sri Lankan government could not figure out the specific situation, how to disclose it to the world.

Then called Mingyue, Chen Xing still took a lot of words to cover up the past, after all, Seychelles is not as good as China and not far from Sri Lanka, and he still knows the cruelty and madness of the Tamil Tigers. Telling Chen Xing to be careful and pay attention to his own safety, Ye Mingyue reluctantly hung up the phone.

By the time Luo Jingye and Manager Wu finished calling their relatives in Taiwan and reported their safety, it was almost dark, and everyone continued to sail towards the dock. In just four days and four nights, Chen Xing missed the rocking bed on the Aristotle and the never-ending roar of the engine, after all, there were no suicide bombs, no sudden bullets, and no tiger thugs with weapons to track him, waiting for him to smash his head with a hard wooden stick.

…… …… ……

Mingyue, who hung up the phone, sat absentmindedly in the swivel chair in the laboratory, replaying the scenes of the Colombo explosion on the TV news from time to time in her mind. In the past few days, she has been restless, and most of the time is spent wandering around the phone and waiting. Although Chen Xing's phone call made her temporarily relieved, as long as she has not left that chaotic country and has not left the work of being displaced on the sea, hidden dangers always exist, and danger can occur at any time.

"How can we get Brother Xingxing to leave this dangerous job as soon as possible?" Mingyue pondered, while looking at the two letters from France on the table, and fell into deep thought.

Those were two air courier letters sent from France a few days earlier, received by Mingyue on November 30 and December 1, respectively.

It turned out that the head of the perfume department of Chanel and Lancôme knew about ambergris through a friend of Mingyue's grandfather in mid-November, and was very interested and had been following up on the matter. Finally, in late November, the company's board of directors approved the acquisition. In the French cosmetics industry, a lot of resources and news are shared, especially ambergris is such a precious item, so the heads of departments of the two companies are ready to jointly acquire these two pieces of ambergris.

In order to avoid surprises in the acquisition, the heads of the departments of the two companies decided to fly to the Seychelles in person to finalize the matter in person, after all, the news has not yet spread on a large scale, and if a few more companies compete, the outcome will not be said first, and the acquisition cost will increase significantly.

Originally, it was calculated that Seychelles would come to discuss the acquisition, and it would be enough to call Mingyue, but out of French politeness and attention to this matter, the department heads of Chanel and Lancôme still sent a formal visit letter after making a phone call, and calculated the time, and on the third day after Mingyue received the visit letter, they jointly arrived in Seychelles, that is, tomorrow, December 3, at 4 pm, which is the official visit time of the two companies.

After Ye Mingyue planned to sell ambergris, she told Chen Xing again when he returned to Seychelles to surprise him, and she didn't tell him about it on the phone.

But this matter can't be hidden from Professor Ye, when Ye Mingyue contacted his grandfather in London, Professor Ye knew about it. Mingyue told her father that these two pieces of ambergris were found by Chen Xing on the driftwood in the Indian Ocean, and there was a very large, very old turtle on it, which was entangled in the driftwood and could not get out, so the ambergris was fixed on the old turtle. Chen Xing rescued the old turtle and obtained ambergris, the old turtle was very psychic, in order to thank Chen Xing, he buckled off his scales and gave it to him, which is now wearing the necklace pendant around Mingyue's neck.

Professor Ye also felt that this process was full of legends, but he still supported Ye Mingyue's way of dealing with ambergris, and did not publicize it, and only the father and daughter knew. He is actually more interested in the mysterious, psychic old turtle, through Mingyue's retelling of the old turtle's appearance, behavior, and behavior, he keenly feels that the old turtle may be helpful to the breakthrough of the current "Ocean No. 1" research bottleneck, under the easy talk, from the old turtle scales worn by Mingyue, and cut a circle for analysis and research, causing Mingyue's necklace pendant to change from the size of a one-yuan coin to the size of a five-cent coin, and the distressed Mingyue has not slept well for several days, it is a gift from Brother Xingxing, so "shrinking".

The next morning, Mingyue took care of some laboratory related work, said hello to her father, and in the afternoon, she was going to receive guests from France.

Professor Ye just instructed Mingyue, refer to the market price, and set the price in his heart, after all, it is an accidental thing, don't have more greed. His mind is now completely focused on the old turtle scales, and the research of more than half a month has made substantial progress, and the past two days have reached a critical moment. He spent most of his time alone in the underground laboratory, his hair was unkempt, and his beard hadn't been shaved for several days, but the whole person was full of excitement, and his bloodshot eyes revealed excitement, if Mingyue hadn't come down to find him, it seemed that he wouldn't have eaten lunch today.

Other experimenters, including the "shadow team members", have been told by the domestic leaders of Huaxia that as long as there is no treason, Professor Ye is the absolute authority in this laboratory, and no one dares to disturb him, except for his baby daughter Ye Mingyue, which may also be the reason why the relevant departments of Huaxia approved Mingyue to come to the Seychelles together and can take care of Professor Ye's daily life.
