Leaving the Xiangshan community, Zhang Xueer did not ask about the conversation between Ling Xiao and Ma Longyi, but sat quietly in the passenger seat, enjoying the scenery outside the window. The maple leaves outside the window are like fire, and when the autumn wind blows, red waves are surging all over the mountains, like a sea of fire. She found it romantic and indulged in it.

"Why don't you ask me what I talked about with Mr. Ma?" Ling Xiao broke the silence. The fact that he was able to find the clues of the Yin Yang Ring was actually the credit of Zhang Xue'er, and he felt that she had the right to know some of the Dao.

Zhang Xue'er retracted her gaze, pursed her lips and smiled, "I'm still a student, everything you do is a big thing, it's better if I don't participate." Besides, if you want to tell me, you'll tell me, won't you? ”

That's a clever answer.

Ling Xiao also smiled, "Do you know Zheng He?" ”

"Zhilu Dao, a eunuch of the Ming Dynasty, seven trips to the West, are described in the history books."

"I'll tell you, he, he was a eunuch earlier, and he was purified, but later, as a part of the male, he grew up again......"

"Bah, I don't want to listen!" Zhang Xue'er's face turned red all of a sudden.

"Hahaha, this is something you don't listen to, so I won't say it." Ling Xiao smiled.

Range Rover is racing on a mountain road, not fast or slow, and there is a lot of laughter in the car.

Ling Xiao sent Zhang Xue'er back to school, he turned back to the Hanging Pot House, he locked himself in the study, and carefully flipped through Ma Longyi's diary.

Ma Longyi has spent ten years of his life looking for that mysterious island. Whoever spends ten years doing the same thing, that thing will be eaten by him thoroughly. Therefore, although Ma Longyi failed to find the island, the expedition diary he left behind was very useful. The content recorded above has a guiding role for Ling Xiao, a latecomer.

"I don't have to go where he's been, it's a waste of time. I'm going to go to a place he hasn't been to, but Zheng He's sixth voyage to sea is from the Strait of Malacca into the Indian Ocean, through the Indian Ocean, and then to the east coast of Africa. So, which island is it? While looking at it, while thinking, Ling Xiao's brain was in a fairly active state.

This look, as soon as it is tidied up, day turns into night.

Ling Xiao closed Ma Longyi's notebook and picked up some of the contents he had sorted out. Ma Longyi's notes are no less than 100,000 words, and he has sorted out more than 10,000 words, as well as dozens of maps he drew by himself. The content and the maps are valuable, and he has gained a lot.

"By the way, why didn't Mr. Ma's notebook describe the Ming Dynasty oil painting?" When he walked out of the door of the study, Ling Xiao suddenly thought of this.

Ma Longyi has been looking for that island for ten years, and he has searched everywhere he can, but he has not succeeded, so what is the reason for his failure?

Ling Xiao really wanted to figure this out, otherwise he would be like Ma Longyi, spending a lot of time and energy but still not finding that island.

It's a simple truth. You want a place, it was supposed to be in the west, but for various reasons, you went to the south or the north. You're trying hard enough, but you're on the wrong path, so you're not going to get to your destination anyway.

After such a combing, Ling Xiao suddenly had a little inspiration in his heart, and then he thought of the Ming Dynasty oil painting.

"The painting looks like just an ordinary oil painting, but is it really like that? Ma Longyi and his ancestors kept that painting, they must have studied it carefully, if there is any mystery hidden in the painting, it should have been discovered for hundreds of years, right? Ling Xiao felt that there was a mystery hidden in that oil painting, but when he thought about it carefully, he felt that it was not like this, and his mood was very contradictory.

It was still a little early to go to bed, and Ling Xiao turned around and went to the laboratory.

It's important to crack the yin and yang rings, but it's even more important to complete the last bit of research on the beauty cream. Ling Xiao will not give up his current career because he has found a clue to crack the secret of the Yin Yang Ring.

If you have to divide the weight, in his opinion, the development of Shennu Pharmaceutical is more important.

As soon as I walked to the door of the laboratory, the text message ringtone on my mobile phone rang.

"Could it be Cher? She wouldn't want to ask me out for a barbecue again, would she? Ling Xiao guessed in his heart, took out his mobile phone and read the content of the text message. At this glance, he was stunned on the spot - the person who sent the text message was not Zhang Xueer, but Tang Meiyu.

The content of the text message sent by Tang Meiyu was very simple: Are you okay?

Just these four words, nothing else.

"Am I okay? I'm pretty good. Ling Xiao said to herself, expertly typing on the on-screen keyboard, ready to reply to her.

The content of the text message was quickly written, but just as he was about to send it, he suddenly deleted the text message again, and the phone was back in his trouser pocket.

Tang Meiyu had already returned to Kyoto, but she didn't call him. She never contacted him when she was in Sweden, but at this time she sent a text message asking him how he was doing, what is this?

"Did she know from Zhou Zhe's mouth that I was in Kyoto? Because of past friendships, that's why I sent a text message to say hello? Is this a charity? I don't need this, I'm fine without her. Ling Xiao's heart was actually a little unhappy.

Opening the door of the laboratory, Ling Xiao walked in. He quickly adjusted his mindset and was ready to devote himself to research and experimentation.

The laboratory was dark, and Ling Xiao turned on the light.

The vision suddenly brightened, but the laboratory was a mess. The experimental equipment and experimental materials were all messed up.

Ling Xiao's heart suddenly sank, he was robbed!

His gaze suddenly drifted to the opposite window. The window was ajar, and the curtains shook slightly. Under the windowsill, a petite footprint came into his sight.

Ling Xiao's thoughts paused abruptly, and then rushed towards the window.

There was no wind outside, but the curtains were shaking, and it was clear that the man had escaped from the lab when he opened the door, which meant that he hadn't had time to escape from the Hanging Pot House!

Sou! Ling Xiao's body came out of the window. Behind the window is the backyard, with lush flowers and trees.

As soon as his feet hit the ground, his eyes searched all the places he could see. A dark shadow soon came into his sight. A slender waist and a plump back are the characteristics of a woman. She's fast, like a female leopard rushing towards the back wall.

Ling Xiao pulled out his legs and chased after him.

The fence in the backyard is about two and a half meters high, and ordinary people need a ladder to climb over. The back door is closed and locked. Therefore, in Ling Xiao's opinion, this female thief will not be able to escape no matter what.

The female thief rushed to the bottom of the wall in the blink of an eye, and when she was still about two meters away from the wall, she suddenly jumped up, stomped on the wall with both feet, and then flew out of the wall with a beautiful somersault.

Ling Xiao was taken aback, but his speed did not slow down. He quickly chased him to the corner, and he was more direct, his feet on the ground, his arms outstretched, his legs bent, and the whole person flew over the wall like a bird.

Behind the fence is an alley with a concrete outcrop that curves to the entrance of the urban village.

The female thief ran fast in the alley, leaning forward, and her speed of sprinting forward was definitely faster than that of Usain Bolt, the most powerful sprinter in the world. Moreover, although she was running at high speed, her body seemed very coordinated and not flustered at all.

Who is she?

Ling Xiao's heart was shocked and angry, and he chased after him again. With the help of internal forces, he is faster. If it goes on like this, he is completely sure that he will catch up with her.

Soon chased to the exit of the alley, Ling Xiao was only twenty or thirty meters away from the female thief. It only takes one more, two or three seconds, for him to catch her!

Call! The female thief suddenly threw something away.

Not knowing what it was, Ling Xiao didn't dare to be careless and dodged sideways.

The thing landed on the ground, but it was a small backpack. A plastic box and shattered glass shards were revealed through the gap in the half-open zipper. Some milky white cream also entered Ling Xiao's sight, and he recognized it at a glance, it was his beauty cream!

Sure enough, it's a thief, and the other party sneaks into the Hanging Pot House to steal his beauty cream!

I didn't see the backpack on the back of the female thief just now, but it is not difficult to deduce that she is hanging the backpack on her chest. This makes it easier for her to load her stolen things in her backpack.

Ling Xiao didn't pick up the backpack, and the brief pause had already distanced him from the female thief. He chased after him again, and the other party threw away the burden on his body just to block his pursuit, and he wouldn't let her get her wish!

In the blink of an eye, he chased out the exit of the alley, and Ling Xiao saw the female thief rushing towards a car quickly.

The sedan was originally stationary, but as soon as the thief appeared, it immediately turned on its headlights and opened the door of the passenger seat.

Obviously, this female thief did not act alone, and her accomplice was sitting in the car!

The female thief was extremely agile and got into the car, and the car sprinted forward.

Ling Xiao had also chased him to the middle of the road.

A hand suddenly poked out of the cab window, holding a silenced pistol.

This sudden change suddenly shocked Ling Xiao into a cold sweat, and he turned over suddenly, instantly spanning a few steps, and hid behind a telephone pole.

At the same time, there were two soft pops on the ground where he had just stayed, and the sparks and gunpowder smoke from the warhead hitting the concrete floor were particularly conspicuous in the light of the street lamps.

The engine roared, the tires scraped against the ground with a screeching sound and an unpleasant smell, and the answering sedan did not stop, passing the slow pace of the start, and running away in the blink of an eye.

Ling Xiao stood up from behind the telephone pole and looked at the car that was speeding away, but there was a cold sweat on his back. The situation just now was really dangerous, if he hadn't reacted quickly enough and dodged fast enough, he would have been shot in the leg.

The opponent seemed to have no intention of wanting his life, and chose the place of attack to be non-lethal legs, not the chest and abdomen of the head and body. But even so, thinking back on the scene just now, Ling Xiao was still a little afraid.

No one can keep their composure after someone shoots themselves.

The sedan quickly disappeared from sight, and Ling Xiao reversed back. The backpack that had been discarded by the female thief was still lying on the ground in the alley. He picked up his backpack and looked through its contents.

The backpack was indeed filled with his beauty cream, as well as the computer hard drive in the laboratory.

"Stealing hard drives, is it commercial espionage?" Ling Xiao's brows furrowed, thinking hard in his heart.

In the silent alley, he stood there silently, not moving for a long time.
