Chapter 140: The Stalker
The passenger ship gradually approached Starlink Island, a vast island that still maintains a fairly pristine appearance from the outside, with lush green vegetation covering almost the entire island.
Gu Nanyin asked Huo Beixiao while taking pictures, "Since there is fresh water on this island, why doesn't anyone live there?" Generally, this kind of island not far from the mainland will have aborigines more or less, right? ”
Huo Beixiao replied solemnly: "There are many theories about this issue, some say that there is miasma on the island, and some say that there are too many poisonous insects on the island. Anyway, all kinds of claims don't seem to have been specifically confirmed. ”
Gu Nanyin said thoughtfully: "If this is the case, will the plan not be so easy to carry out?"
In order to prevent other passengers from hearing confidential information, Gu Nanyin deliberately only used the word "plan" to express his thoughts. She knew that when she said this, only Huo Beixiao could understand her true meaning.
Sure enough, as soon as Gu Nanyin's question was issued, Huo Beixiao sneered and shook his head, "Don't worry, nothing can stop people from discovering wealth." In the face of interests, all miasma and poisonous insects will become worthless. ”
Gu Nanyin sighed and muttered, "It seems to be such a truth."
Huo Beixiao sat close to Gu Nanyin, and then whispered in her ear: "I suddenly have another idea, maybe more interesting than the so-called plan."
Gu Nanyin glanced at Huo Beixiao, feeling that he had come up with some sassy idea again, "You'd better be serious, or keep your mouth shut." ”
Huo Beixiao smiled and said, "I haven't said it yet, how do you know that I'm not serious?"
"Look at the way you smile evilly, you can guess it with a little thought."
Huo Beixiao put away his smile and snorted coldly, "Don't look down on people." I'm sure you'll be amazed when you hear my new ideas. ”
Seeing Huo Beixiao's confident and eager appearance, Gu Nanyin was not good at refusing anything.
"Okay, you tell me about it, I hope you don't waste my time with this statement."
Huo Beixiao smiled faintly and said in a low voice: "I want to buy Starlink Island directly and create a private paradise where only you and I live." ”
"That's it?"
"yes, how do you feel? Isn't it a surprise? ”
Gu Nanyin shook his head with a smile, "Huo Beixiao, I thought you really had some wonderful ideas, but I didn't expect that it was still a waste of my time." ”
Huo Beixiao sneered: "Do you think I can't do it? ”
"Bei Xiao, promise me, don't make trouble. Not to mention those unrealistic parts, even if you really make an offer, will City B be willing to sell you such a big piece of treasure? ”
"As long as I'm paying high enough, they're going to let it go. Don't forget the old saying that money makes the devil grind. ”
Gu Nanyin looked at Huo Beixiao's expression, and felt more and more as if the other party was really not just talking.
"You're not really going to do that, are you? I beg you, don't be so willful. ”
"Capricious? I'm just following my heart's will. Huo Beixiao approached Gu Nanyin's ear and said like a cold wind: "You have been with me for so long, you should know very well that as long as I Huo Beixiao wants to do something, I must do it to the end." ”
"Don't mess around!" Gu Nanyin couldn't help but retort loudly. As soon as this sound came out, several nearby passengers looked sideways.
"Shhhhh Do you want the whole ship to come and see us? ”
Gu Nanyin knew that she was impulsive, so she had to stabilize her emotions as quickly as possible.
Huo Beixiao crossed Erlang's legs and muttered, "Okay, let's not discuss this matter for now." For now, let's deal with the important issues first. ”
Gu Nanyin took a deep breath and asked casually, "What's the problem?" ”
"Let's think about how to deal with the questioning of the four major families first."
"What did you say?" Gu Nanyin's eyes widened, she never expected Huo Beixiao to instantly shift the topic to such an urgent aspect.
Huo Beixiao looked at the sea from afar, and warned in a relaxed tone: "Have you noticed the person in the white shirt behind you?" ”
When Gu Nanyin heard this, she instinctively wanted to turn her head and take a look. But when she had this idea just now and hadn't put it into action, Huo Beixiao stopped it in time: "Don't look back, as soon as he turns around, he will know that he is exposed." ”
Gu Nanyin controlled her curiosity, and she nodded lightly, as if nothing had happened.
"I know who it is, I saw him when I got on the boat."
Gu Nanyin paused, and then asked, "Is he a subordinate of the four major families?" Do you know him? ”
"I don't know. But I know that he is Qian Hao's person. I'm afraid that the news of our coming to City B has already been known to Qian Hao through his report. ”
Gu Nanyin asked inexplicably, "Since you don't know him, how can you be sure that he is Qian Hao's subordinate?" ”
Huo Beixiao sneered slightly.
"Quite simply, just now when he was wiping his sweat, he took out a handkerchief from his pocket. And that handkerchief was emblazoned with the logo of the Qian Group. ”
"Huh? You've even noticed this? Gu Nanyin smiled bitterly in surprise: "I don't think you should be in business, but a detective." Maybe you can be a modern-day Sherlock Holmes. ”
"I know you're making fun of me, but I'd rather take it as a compliment." Huo Beixiao said quietly.
Gu Nanyin sighed, she knew that now was not the time to joke.
"Beixiao, since we are being targeted, from now on, the two of us will not be together."
"Why?"
"If someone asks you what the relationship between the two of us is, how do you answer?"
"Tell me the truth, husband and wife."
"Are you crazy?!" Gu Nanyin almost didn't jump up, "If this truth is revealed, the scene will be out of control!" I'm sure you know this better than I do! ”
Huo Beixiao shrugged his shoulders and asked casually: "Then it's a colleague, it's always okay, right?" ”
Gu Nanyin frowned, "It seems that our kind of interaction is not like a colleague relationship, and others may not want to believe it when we say it." ”
"So what do you say? I can't say, you're my cousin, right? ”
"That's right! That's it! ”
"Huh? Are you serious? ”
Huo Beixiao looked at Gu Nanyin with a puzzled expression, as if he was not ready to accept this answer.
Gu Nanyin breathed a long sigh of relief and repeated the conversation with Chen Xinhui that day to Huo Beixiao. She told Huo Beixiao that she lied in front of Chen Xinhui and lied about being his cousin and stayed at his house.
After Huo Beixiao heard these words, his indifferent face also showed a look of crying and laughing.
"Did you know that a lie has to be covered up with countless lies?"
