"Zhang Xiaochun, don't worry. I think Mr. Lin and Miss Wu definitely didn't go out to eat at night because they were dissatisfied with your cooking skills..."
Zhang Xiaohua said to Zhang Xiaochun who was preparing breakfast, and Zhang Xiaoyu on the side also echoed.
"Hey..." Zhang Xiaochun, who put the prepared steamed buns on the steamer, didn't say anything. He just sighed, showing the sadness in his heart.
"Let's do this! Miss Wu will water her flowers in the afternoon, and I'll help you find out... Forget it, I'll ask Mr. Lin directly after breakfast..."
Zhang Xiaohua saw that her good friend had been worried. She thought about it and finally decided to inquire about the source of the matter.
"Really?" Zhang Xiaochun heard this and looked at Zhang Xiaohua expectantly. If she were asked to ask Lin Fei or Wu Yin by herself, she would not have the courage.
"Really." Zhang Xiaohua nodded seriously, indicating that she was not joking.
"Thank you." Zhang Xiaochun thanked Zhang Xiaohua very gratefully.
Zhang Xiaohua saw that Zhang Xiaochun had regained some energy and immediately laughed.
…………
After breakfast, Lin Fei was about to go back to the balcony on the second floor to stay for a while when he was stopped by Zhang Xiaohua.
"Mr. Lin..."
"Um?"
Lin Fei stopped, turned to look at Zhang Xiaohua who called out to him, and asked doubtfully, "Zhang Xiaohua, what can I do for you?"
"Um..." Zhang Xiaohua hesitated for a moment, then asked Lin Fei.
"Mr. Lin, I would like to ask, you and Miss Wu have been going out for dinner recently. Is it because the food cooked by Zhang Xiaochun is not to your liking?"
"..." Lin Fei was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then replied with a smile, "No, during this period, we will not eat at home at night. It was something Wu Yin and I had discussed before."
"It was agreed upon?"
"Well, as agreed upon, aren't there many restaurants in Tap Seac City? Wu Yin and I came to Tap Seac City and had nothing to do, so we planned to eat at every one of those restaurants."
"Oh, so that's what it is!" After hearing Lin Fei's explanation, Zhang Xiaohua felt relieved for her good friend Zhang Xiaochun.
In fact, before she came to ask Lin Fei why, although she seemed to comfort Zhang Xiaochun, she said that Lin Fei and Wu Yin were not at home for dinner recently, not because they disliked her craftsmanship.
But in fact, she was not sure. Now that the reason was clear, she wanted to tell the worried Zhang Xiaochun right away.
"Is there anything else? If not, I'm going to the second floor." Lin Fei said.
"No, thank you Mr. Lin." Zhang Xiaohua said with a smile.
"You're welcome. By the way, tonight is the same as before. There's no need to cook dinner for Wu Yin and I. The two of us have to go out to a restaurant to dine." Lin Fei said to Zhang Xiaohua.
"Okay, I'll go talk to Zhang Xiaochun later." Zhang Xiaohua nodded, then turned and left, heading to the kitchen to report the good news to the worried Zhang Xiaochun.
Lin Fei looked at Zhang Xiaohua's leaving figure. He didn't know why Zhang Xiaohua was so happy. He thought about it and stopped thinking about it without thinking of the reason. Then he went up the stairs to the balcony on the second floor.
"Crack."
There is a large parasol placed on the spacious balcony. At first glance, you can tell that it is not something you can find in Tap Seac City.
If people on Blue Star see this large parasol, they will naturally recognize it at a glance. It is a must-have item on the beach.
Lying down on the recliner, Lin Fei looked at the endless blue sky in the distance, then silently closed his eyes, and began to refine the spiritual energy in his body as usual.
Not long after he closed his eyes, Wu Yin, dressed in Tap Seac Aboriginal costume, walked into the balcony.
She was wearing a royal blue satin dress with a waist-cinching style that showed off her slim figure to the fullest.
"boom."
Putting the plate of washed fruits he was holding on the small table next to him, Wu Yin also lay down.
Although Lin Fei closed his eyes, he felt a scent like orchid and musk floating around him, and he knew it was Wu Yin.
"Click, click..."
A crisp voice sounded, and Lin Fei, who had his eyes closed, opened his left eye and glanced to his side, only to see Wu Yin holding small orange fruits the size of eggs in his hand.
Wu Yin, who was eating local special fruits, noticed that Lin Fei was looking at her. She immediately turned her head to look at Lin Fei and said with a smile.
"Try this fruit. Zhang Xiaohua bought it at the market this morning. It tastes pretty good and very sweet."
Lin Fei reached out and picked up a small orange fruit from the small table. After taking a bite, a surprised expression appeared on his face, "This fruit tastes like cantaloupe."
"Yeah, I was quite surprised when I tasted the taste of cantaloupe at first..." Wu Yin said with a smile, then reached out and picked up a small orange fruit from the plate.
The two were eating and chatting. Suddenly, Wu Yin said to Lin Fei, "Do you have any ideas about the man who has been hiding behind the big tree outside our house?"
Lin Fei, who was eating a small orange fruit, heard this, thought for a while, and then said.
"What do you think? Let him do it. He hasn't done anything extraordinary yet, so we can't take the initiative to do anything to him!"
As a law-abiding citizen, Lin Fei's attitude towards dealing with things is relatively mild.
As the president of the Purple Orchid Organization, Wu Yin was not so easy to talk to the guy who had been squatting outside his house for a long time.
That is to say, Lin Fei is stronger than her and is now living in this unknown world. As fellow villagers, the two depend on each other for life.
When encountering this kind of thing, Wu Yin would subconsciously ask Lin Fei's opinion first. On Blue Star, she would have caught the man and then asked him about his purpose.
If someone comes with bad intentions, she doesn't mind throwing him into the river to feed the fish.
"Let him go?" Wu Yin asked after hearing what Lin Fei said.
"Well, let him go..." Lin Fei finished eating the small orange fruit in his hand and stopped eating. He closed his eyes and continued to refine the spiritual energy in his body.
Seeing Lin Fei's indifferent attitude, Wu Yin thought for a while and gave up the idea of catching that person for questioning.
At this moment, outside Lin Fei and Wu Yin's manor, under a leafy tree in the distance, a tall man with an eyepatch on his right eye did not know that he had just escaped a disaster.
After a long period of surveillance, the tall man with an eyepatch on his right eye still found nothing, and the idea of changing his approach to investigate the murder of his companions in the organization had arisen in his mind.
"How about I go to the Iron Palm Gang to arrest someone else and question..."
The tall man with an eyepatch on his right eye thought carefully for several minutes before finally making a decision.
He turned around and left the leafy tree, heading towards the dock controlled by the Iron Palm Gang.
On the balcony of the manor, two people lying on two deck chairs under a huge parasol suddenly glanced in the direction in which the tall man with an eyepatch on his right eye was leaving.
In their perception, the cultivator who had been squatting outside the manor these days began to leave in a direction away from the manor.
…………
The sun slowly climbed high into the sky, and occasionally one or two unnamed birds would pass by in the blue sky.
The tall man with an eyepatch on his right eye took some time to arrive at the Iron Palm Gang's dock. He looked at the desolate dock in front of him with a look of confusion on his face.
"What's going on? When I came here before, wasn't there people and traffic on the pier? Why is there no one now?"
It's early in the morning. According to the usual situation, there should be a lot of hard workers carrying goods from the cargo ship!
On the empty dock, the tall man wearing an eyepatch on his right eye did not notice any workers.
At this time, an old man pushing a trolley came from a distance. When he passed by the tall man with an eyepatch on his right eye, he glanced at the man, thought about it, stopped, and then took the initiative to look at the man with his right eye.
The tall man wearing an eyepatch said.
"Hello, are you here to see the Iron Palm Gang?"
Just as he was wondering why the Iron Palm Gang members were missing, the tall man with an eyepatch on his right eye heard the old man's question. He turned his head to look at the other person, then nodded.
"Yes, may I ask, do you know where all the people from the Iron Palm Gang have gone?"
The old man pushing the trolley obviously knew why the pier was empty. He immediately explained to the tall man with an eyepatch on his right eye.
“The person who was responsible for distributing wages from the Iron Palm Gang ran away with the money.
It happened to be the time to pay wages that day, and because the Iron Palm Gang had no wages to pay to the workers, the workers tied their hands and feet and sent them to the City Lord's Mansion to seek justice from the City Lord's Mansion.
When the Lord of the City learned about this, he became furious and immediately threw all the tied Iron Palm Gang members into prison.
After that, the city lord paid the workers wages out of his own pocket.
Now this pier is no longer managed by the Iron Palm Gang, and it should be managed by someone else in the future."
The tall man with an eyepatch on his right eye suddenly showed an expression of surprise on his face after listening to the old man's explanation.
This thing happened so suddenly, no wonder he looked shocked.
After all, some time ago, when he came to trouble the Iron Palm Gang, the Iron Palm Gang was still thriving. Not long after this, the entire gang was destroyed. Such a result was really unexpected!
The old man pushing the trolley chatted for a few words with the tall man wearing an eyepatch over his right eye and then left.
Standing on the empty pier, a tall man with an eyepatch on his right eye frowned and looked at the deserted pier in front of him.
"It's so difficult for me!"
The tall man with an eyepatch on his right eye came to the Iron Palm Gang's territory this time because he wanted to arrest another Iron Palm Gang member and ask him about his organization of companions.
Now everyone in the Iron Palm Gang has been imprisoned by the city lord of Tapashi City. If he wants to find the Iron Palm Gang, he must rob the prison.
If he robs the prison, things will definitely get into trouble. At that time, it will be difficult for him to carry out investigation operations in Tap Seac City.
"Damn it, I'm so unlucky! What should I do now? The important clue is broken."
A tall man with an eyepatch on his right eye stood on the empty pier, paused for a long time, then turned around and left.
This time, he did not go to Lin Fei and Wu Yin's manor to continue surveillance under the leafy tree. Instead, he chose to return to the inn where he was staying.
He had been under surveillance for many days. Considering the strength of the tall man with an eyepatch on his right eye, the physical fatigue was nothing but the mental stress.
The elders repeatedly inquired about the progress of the investigation, making the tall man wearing an eyepatch over his right eye feel more and more pressure on his shoulders after finding nothing.
At this moment, he decided to return to the inn where he was staying to rest for a day, and then review the series of actions he took after arriving in Tap Rock City.
To summarize, see if we can find a new breakthrough. If there are any clues, it will be helpful to the progress of the investigation of this matter.
"Hey... It's not an option to keep going like this. If I still get nothing, I will apply to the elder to enter the manor and torture the five people in the manor."
The tall man with an eyepatch on his right eye was talking to himself as he walked towards the inn where he was staying.
He didn't know how dangerous his idea was. If he wanted to use a metaphor to describe it, it would be asking for death.
…………
The blue star, the brightly lit city, is particularly dazzling under the cover of night.
The streets are busy with traffic and people coming and going, making it very lively.
Although it has already reached the end of October and is about to enter November, and the temperature has dropped a lot, there are still many people wearing cool summer clothes on the street.
Especially the girls, one by one, young and beautiful girls, were shivered by the sudden cool breeze at night, but they still had no idea of changing into thicker clothes.
To be beautiful but not warm is the idea of many girls.
At around nine o'clock in the evening, at the entrance of the cinema, after a movie was shown, many moviegoers were walking out of the cinema one after another.
Among the crowd, Tang Ling and Xiaoyan walked side by side, chatting in low voices about their experiences watching the movie.
"Sister Yan, let's go shopping in the mall for a while!" Tang Ling said to Xiao Yan.
He was still not satisfied with today's date and wanted to stay with Xiaoyan for a while.
If it were normal, Xiaoyan would definitely agree to Tang Ling's proposal, but she still had some things to do tomorrow, so she shook her head and said.
"It's getting late, I want to go back and rest early..."
Xiaoyan did not tell Tang Ling that she would have to deal with some things assigned to her by her boss tomorrow. Instead, she refused Tang Ling's proposal on the grounds that she wanted to go back and rest early.
The reason why she said this was because she was afraid that Tang Ling would ask him what he was going to do. Then, if Tang Ling said he wanted to accompany her, she would have to work hard to stop him.
Since she didn't want Tang Ling to interfere with what she was going to do tomorrow, Xiaoyan had no choice but to find an excuse and go home to rest. This was an excuse that Tang Ling couldn't refuse...
