Although Lin Xiaofei is a gangster who doesn't do his job properly, the speedboat skills he learned in order to pick up girls are still very good.
He has a buddy who is a nephew of the Tao clan, named Tao Jiaren, and is a member of the speedboat team of the Tao clan.
It's just that this speedboat brigade rarely does anything at ordinary times, and is only dispatched when the moon is dark and the wind is high.
Every time he came back, Tao Jiaren, who was just waiting to die like him, would have an extra million in his account, which made his life very nourishing.
Lin Xiaofei asked Tao Jiaren more than once what he did to make so much money, but Tao's brother refused to tell him the details.
Lin Xiaofei was a curious person and envied this kind of money, so he organized a dinner party to find out more.
In order to get something out of his buddy's mouth, Lin Xiaofei kept entertaining him with wine and food, and even got a few beauties to accompany him.
In a sugar-coated bomb, Lin Xiaofei once again asked Tao Jiaren to take him with him.
After all, his speedboat skills are better than Tao Jiaren's, and Lin Xiaofei is willing to give him a share.
But Tao Jiaren still refused, saying that he was working for the Tao Clan Association.
The clan association clearly stipulates that the speedboat brigade can only be composed of Tao's nephews, and only Tao's nephews can carry out each mission.
Lin Xiaofei's surname is not Tao, so there is no way he can help Lin Xiaofei make a fortune together.
Lin Xiaofei was very disappointed.
However, because Tao Jiaren started talking about it, some more things came out.
He told Lin Xiaofei that the task of the Tao Clan Association was not difficult.
That is, every time something is moved from a cruise ship or cargo ship to the island.
Apart from the occasional need to evade patrols, there is almost no difficulty.
He also said that there is an underground factory on the island, with at least a hundred people working in it, and a lot of antiques and US dollars.
Things brought to the island by cargo ships are quickly dismantled and then processed into another brand.
However, the place is also heavily guarded and cannot be approached by ordinary people.
Lin Xiaofei judged from Tao Jiaren's narration that Tao Jiaren was involved in smuggling.
He also combined the speed and distance of the speedboat and deduced that the small island was Paradise Island on the edge of the island.
Knowing this secret, Lin Xiaofei once wanted to use it to blackmail Mr. Tao for money, or join the speedboat team to get an iron job.
But he also knows that Tao is not a good person, and if he negotiates without a foolproof strategy, Tao may sink into the sea in a matter of minutes.
He also thought about reporting Tao to the authorities, but thinking of Tao's 300,000 nephews, Lin Xiaofei did not dare to act rashly.
Maybe there are many people in the officialdom who are Tao's nephews or bribed by Tao Xiaotian.
Therefore, Lin Xiaofei could only keep this secret for the time being.
He planned to think of a way to protect himself before he could reveal the secret.
Today he was forced by Ye Fan to have no choice but to use it to offset the 20 million debt.
"Master Ye, 99% of Paradise Island is the Tao family's transfer base."
"I am too small to digest this secret. Whether it is negotiation or reporting, it may kill me."
"But you are different. You are not only as beautiful as a tree, smart and wise, but also very powerful. It will be easy for you to realize it."
"Whether it's a report or a threat, you can easily get 20 to 30 million."
After revealing the secret, Lin Xiaofei looked at Ye Fan eagerly and begged: "This should be able to offset two bowls of tofu."
"Tao Family, Paradise Island..."
Ye Fan thought of the news in the morning: "The auction is about to happen...it's kind of interesting."
"This secret is indeed worth 20 million, but it has not been verified yet, so it does not count as your debt repayment."
"You are staying on this yacht for a while. When I confirm that your secret is dry and liquidated, I will tell you to get out."
"Of course, I don't raise waste here."
"When you stay here, you will be responsible for cleaning the yacht's toilets. There are not many, twelve on the fourth floor."
"Work hard and be at peace with me. Don't think about running away, and don't complain to your sister."
"If there is any dishonesty, I will tell the clan association that you were the one who exposed Paradise Island."
"With Tao Xiaotian's character and style, not only will you die, but your whole family will also be in trouble."
Ye Fan patted Lin Xiaofei on the shoulder: "Take care of yourself."
Lin Xiaofei was of great use to him, and he had done so many bad things, so Mark would not let him go casually.
Lin Xiaofei wanted to cry but had no tears.
After getting off the Polar Bear, Ye Fan took Nangong Youyou straight back to Tenglong Villa.
When he met Song Hongyan, he told her about Lin Xiaofei and asked her to find a way to collect information on Paradise Island.
The next morning, when Ye Fan was sitting in the dining room eating after his morning workout, Song Hongyan with a ponytail came over.
Since being together with Ye Fan, Song Hongyan has become more and more restrained in her charm, becoming more refreshing and capable.
She met Ye Fan's gaze and walked over, opening the morning news and handing Ye Fan a stack of information.
"Lin Xiaofei's guess is probably correct."
"Paradise Island is located on the edge of the island, with a total area of 25 square kilometers, and the highest altitude of the island is 80 meters."
"The forests up there are lush, the roads are bumpy, and the island is not too big. You can probably circle it in three hours by riding an electric bike."
"It was a haven and transfer station for offshore fishermen entering and leaving the island in the past."
"However, with the advancement of technology and the improved speed of ships, there are basically no fishermen staying on Paradise Island."
"In recent years, it has almost become one of many islands in the sea. Apart from its nice name, it has nothing attractive about it."
"The island's finances are a bit tight this year."
"In addition to taking out a few pieces of land in the city center, we also temporarily added five small islands with good locations for tourism to be auctioned together."
"It's just that I checked and found that there is no Paradise Island among the five islands."
"After all, it is located on the edge of the island. It is too far away and often encounters typhoons. It is not suitable for tourism."
"I don't know why I joined the auction island."
"I guess this is Tao Xiaotian's operation."
Song Hongyan gave her own judgment.
"Although Paradise Island is high and far away, not many people go there, and it is difficult for the officials to manage it, it still belongs to the public."
Ye Fan served the woman a bowl of porridge, gently placed it in front of her and said:
"Whenever the government suddenly wants to develop or go to Paradise Island to do something, the Tao family base will be in big trouble."
"Not only will you lose a large amount of assets, but you may also expose your own crimes."
"So while the island's finances are tight, add Paradise Island to the auction and save it once and for all."
Ye Fan tried to guess Tao Xiaotian's thoughts.
Song Hongyan smiled: "It's a pity that we can't alert the snake, otherwise we can go to the island to verify our guess."
Ye Fan smiled and said nothing, just thinking about how to proceed.
"What's next?"
Song Hongyan said softly: "Report directly to the army to suppress the situation, or do you want to be a gangster?"
"If Tao Xiaotian dares to build such a base on Paradise Island, he must have installed a self-destruct system."
Ye Fan shook his head slightly: "Once the report comes and the army is suppressing the situation, Tao may destroy himself and run away."
"After all, both people and the stolen goods have been stolen. The whole Tao family on the island will be peeled off even if they don't die."
"It's impossible for Tao Xiaotian not to take this into consideration."
"As for black and white..."
"Some things can be taken, but some things cannot be touched."
Ye Fan smiled and said: "You and I can't eat this kind of thing that harms the country's foundation."
"If we don't use a large army to suppress the enemy's territory, and if we don't fight against the enemy, this secret will be useless."
Song Hongyan looked at Ye Fan calmly: "We can't even verify whether there is a base on Paradise Island."
"It's very simple to verify."
Ye Fan took a sip of hot porridge and smiled: "Contact Bao Zhenhai, the Bao Chamber of Commerce will participate in the bidding for Paradise Island!"
Song Hongyan's eyes lit up with approval.
"Tao is now strategically cooperating with Tang Ruoxue."
She changed the topic: "It is very likely that Tang Ruoxue will also be involved in this bidding..."
