An Ran didn't leave a word. As soon as the plane arrived, she packed up her luggage and left in a hurry. She didn't say hello to Lu Chen and the three of them, as if she didn't know them at all.
Lu Chen really couldn't guess what An Ran was thinking, so he didn't continue to focus on this big star he met unexpectedly. After all, he didn't come here to have fun, but to find someone.
of.
I quickly called to confirm whether Xia Yexin was still in the local area and to make an appointment to meet up.
Without too many twists and turns, Lu Chen directly called Xia Yexin. After the two made an appointment to meet at a landmark building in the city, Lu Chen directly took Fan Dan and Dong Lin to their destination.
This is not the most famous place in Linhai City, but it is definitely the most unique place, because this building is completely incompatible with the surrounding modern buildings. If the wall paved with blue bricks hadn't written "Lin Fang" on it,
Lu Chen would never know that this was an archway. It was obvious that this ancient archway had been around for some years, and was in sharp contrast to the floor-to-ceiling windows and tall buildings around it.
As soon as the three of them got off the bus, Lu Chen spotted the pretty Xia Yexin in front of the blue brick archway. Xia Yexin today was obviously dressed up, which was in stark contrast to her previous desolate look.
.
A clear grass green gauze shirt, a white T-shirt as a base layer underneath, paired with light blue jeans and simple canvas shoes. Coupled with the carefully braided braid, it gives a fresh and lively look
The temperament comes from the pavement.
Apparently, when Lu Chen discovered Xia Yexin, Xia Yexin also discovered Lu Chen's location. She trotted towards Lu Chen.
"I didn't expect you to actually come. You've had a hard journey along the way. Let's find a place to sit down and chat." Xia Yexin was quite enthusiastic about Lu Chen's arrival. She started greeting him as if he were an old friend.
.
However, Lu Chen felt a little embarrassed. After all, it seemed that Lu Chen and Xia Yexin hadn't gotten to know each other that well yet, so he was a little at a loss for Xia Yexin's enthusiasm.
"Who are these two?" Seeing that Lu Chen didn't respond to her, Xia Yexin turned her attention to both sides of Lu Chen. At this time, there were two people standing next to Chen Lu who were dressed completely unrelated to Lu Chen. Naturally, Lu Chen
Cheap clothes don't match Dong Lin's fashionable leopard print and Fan Dan's noble black.
"Hello, my name is Fan Dan, and I am his friend." Fan Dan was also infected by Xia Yexin's youthful atmosphere, and became enthusiastic and introduced himself directly to Xia Yexin.
Dong Lin on the other side did not make any sound, his expression was quite serious, which did not match his wild leopard print clothes at all.
"These are my friends too. They are here to help." Seeing that Dong Lin had no intention of speaking, Lu Chen quickly came out to help Dong Lin introduce Xia Yexin.
"Oh, hello. Well, let's sit down and chat somewhere. It's getting late, so I think we can find a restaurant to eat and talk." Xia Yexin, as the host, naturally greeted her warmly.
"Okay, I'll do whatever you want, but I don't want to eat Western food. Let's go to a Chinese restaurant." Lu Chen decisively made his request. It was not because he was biased against Western food, but because they had discussed it.
The situation is completely inconsistent with the atmosphere of a Western restaurant.
"Haha, okay, you are a guest, everything is at your discretion." Xia Yexin smiled slightly and led the three of them directly into the nearest Chinese restaurant.
Obviously the location of the archway is in the center of Linhai City, and this Chinese restaurant is only one kilometer away from the archway. Naturally, this is also a high-end restaurant. It can be seen from its festive layout that it is a must to spend money here.
Generally the prices are not too low.
"Isn't it too high-end? Let's just eat whatever we want." Looking at Xia Yexin's outfit, which was almost the same as his own, Lu Chen didn't know what Xia Yexin's job was before. Naturally, she has to spend so much money.
Lu Chen felt a little embarrassed.
"It's rare for a benefactor to come over, and I'll feel bad if I don't come to a better place. Don't worry, I can still pay for the meal. Besides, I can't pay, so I believe you can pay for it for me.
"When Xia Yexin spoke, she couldn't help but glance at Fan Dan and Dong Lin who were following Lu Chen.
Obviously, it can be seen from the clothes of the two people that even if they are not rich and powerful, they are people with a certain family background.
"Haha, okay, I'll pay for this meal." Lu Chen was a rare act of generosity. After all, he came to Xia Yexin to ask for help, so treating someone to a meal was nothing.
"Then why are you so embarrassed? It's better for me to pay."
"Okay, okay, don't forget our business. Can you argue about the checkout after dinner?" Dong Lin started to get impatient with Lu Chen and Xia Yexin's politeness. He interrupted them directly.
Out of politeness, I chose one of the private rooms and walked in first.
Lu Chen was embarrassed for a while, but he followed Dong Lin into the private room.
There were only four people sitting in the huge private room, which looked a little deserted. As soon as he sat down, Dong Lin started talking.
"Fan Dan, please go out and order some dishes for us."
"Well, okay." Fan Dan knew that he could ask the waiter to come over and order the dishes himself. Dong Lin did this just to distract himself. He didn't want her to know too many things. As smart as Fan Dan was, he would naturally understand everything.
He stood up directly and walked out.
After Fan Dan walked away, Lu Chen coughed dryly and prepared to bring the topic down to business.
"Although I know you don't want to recall what happened in the cave, we have no choice but to ask you for help."
"Oh? What happened again?" Xia Yexin frowned at Lu Chen's straightforward words.
Lu Chen did not rush to continue speaking, but turned his head and gestured to Dong Lin with his eyes. After Dong Lin nodded, Lu Chen continued the topic just now.
"The matter has not been publicized, but it is related to what we asked you. You will know sooner or later, but I hope you can keep it secret before the matter spreads."
"Okay." Xia Yexin saw the serious expression on Lu Chen's face, and her whole body became serious unconsciously.
"The thing is like this, after you were rescued, someone blocked the cave, and all the construction workers inside suffocated to death in the cave." Lu Chen said with a slightly heavy expression.
"What? Are you saying they are all dead? There are more than a hundred people there. Why hasn't such a big thing been reported?" Xia Yexin was shocked, but she didn't expect to get such a conclusion from Lu Chen's mouth
Here comes some shocking news.
"The matter is too big, so the government probably won't announce it until a suitable reason is found. So I hope you can also keep it secret."
"Oh, okay, don't worry, I will definitely keep it a secret. But what kind of thing are you looking for me for this time?" Xia Yexin looked at Lu Chen with some confusion, wondering what Lu Chen was planning.
.
"We originally wanted to find those workers and use those workers as clues to find out the mastermind behind the scenes. Unexpectedly, the mastermind behind the scenes was one step ahead of us and directly killed people and silenced them. From this incident, we can see the identity of the mastermind behind the scenes.
How big is your ability? After all, this is not a human life. In addition to what he has done before, if he is not caught in time, the consequences will be endless." Lu Chen expressed his worries.
"Oh, do you want me to be used as a clue for you to find the mastermind behind this?"
"Yes, it seems that talking to you doesn't have to be too roundabout." Lu Chen smiled, but Xia Yexin suddenly understood what he meant.
"But I don't know who is behind the scenes." Xia Yexin looked anxious, obviously wanting to help Lu Chen in this matter.
"We also know that you are just a clue. If we follow your vine, I think we will be able to touch the melon soon."
"Then how are you going to get started with this matter?"
"Didn't you say before that you were recruited? Do you still have the contact information of the person who recruited you?" Lu Chen could only continue to pursue this direction.
"Of course there is, but that number is no longer available. The number was announced at the police station. But the police didn't seem to find any useful clues." Xia Yexin immediately poured cold water on Lu Chen.
on the body.
"Oh, it seems that things are not as simple as I thought." Lu Chen did think of things a bit simple. After all, the police had been involved in this matter before. Until now, there has been no movement. Obviously, with the
My own capabilities cannot be compared with the entire domestic police force. After all, when it comes to finding clues, they have many more methods than I do.
But Lu Chen was not discouraged. After all, he had arrived in Linhai City and couldn't just return empty-handed.
"Then I'm curious, how did you find the person who recruited you before?" Since Lu Chen couldn't directly obtain this person's contact information, he could only start from the channels.
"This, I'm a little embarrassed to say it. I only contacted that person from those small advertisements posted on the bus stops." Xia Yexin smiled awkwardly, but she was laughing at her own inexperience.
Lu Chen couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth, looking at Xia Yexin, she didn't look like a person with a very low cultural level. How could she be so gullible as to believe those small advertisements?
However, Lu Chen did have a clue here, at least he could trace it from this small advertisement.
