Chapter 299

All night long, they tossed and turned several times. It wasn't until the second half of the night that the excitement that didn't know where it came from on Xia Yubing finally subsided. She used her hands and feet to clamp Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe in her arms like a body pillow and fell into a deep sleep like an octopus.

In psychology, liking to hold things while sleeping is generally regarded as a symbol of lack of security. Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe looked at Xia Yubing's peaceful sleeping face and wondered if she was also very insecure now?

Maybe.

Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe tried to pry Xia Yubing's legs off his waist, but they were clamped tighter than when she was awake. If he forced them open, he would probably wake her up, so he turned into a cat and slipped off the bed in one go.

Walking past the bar and crossing the indoor swimming pool, Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe went straight to the floor-to-ceiling window. Looking out from the apartment on the 38th floor, he could see the night view of more than half of Vivian Port.

This long-famous international trade center doesn't look very prosperous now. Many places have had residents move away in advance. Residential areas where people have gone and buildings are empty are embedded in the brightly lit city, like black spots smeared on a glowing screen, swallowing the huge cargo ships docked in the distance.

Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe took a deep breath of the air that had been heated just right, walked out of the window, and jumped down.

On the bed behind him, Xia Yubing lay there and quietly opened her eyes, then closed them silently, curled the wool blanket into a ball and held it in her arms, saying nothing.

Fluttering—

The wings of a seagull cut through the evening wind and crossed the night sky. Below is a long and curved wide dam. The long shore is piled with three-legged, four-cornered concrete wave-dissipating blocks. Layers of waves hit them, turning into white foam and disappearing.

A young man wearing a woolen windbreaker with a pure black Zhongshan suit inside stood quietly on the breakwater, facing the wide sea under the moonlight, until a seagull landed at his feet.

"You're late." Seeing Lan Shiwen said.

"Something delayed me." Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe didn't explain much.

"Where is that ghost?" Seeing Lan Shiwen asked again.

"Here." Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe pointed to the wave-dissipating blocks piled up under the embankment.

"Wave-dissipating block" is an artificial structure cast with concrete. The general shape is a bit like a zongzi, and the weight can reach more than ten tons. To put it in human terms, it is a super-sized cement zongzi. This kind of cement block piled together has natural stability, and the porous structure can effectively dissipate the energy of the waves and protect the embankment, which is especially common by the sea.

Due to the over-extraction of groundwater and the concentration of population, the foundation of Vivian Port has been sinking for years, and it has been below sea level since the last century, so this long breakwater was built to protect the city from being flooded by seawater.

Seeing Lan Shiwen squatted down in the direction Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe pointed, lowered his head and looked into the gaps between the wave-dissipating blocks. It was pitch black inside.

Turning on the flashlight and shining it inside, a shriveled and thin face like a skeleton appeared before his eyes.

Seeing Lan Shiwen was not frightened, but frowned slightly, and then examined the shriveled and thin skeleton face carefully: there was still some pale golden hair left on the top of the skull, the bone structure was obviously concave and convex, and only two teeth were missing...

"It looks like this person should have been in his prime and in good health before he died." Seeing Lan Shiwen stood up and asked: "Is he the disqualified person imprisoned in Vanessa Castle?"

"Yes, it's him." Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe didn't deny it.

"Did you hypnotize him with a requiem?" Seeing Lan Shiwen continued: "That thing has a lot of randomness. A ghost hypnotized by a requiem might sleep for ten or eight years if the environment is stable and undisturbed, but once disturbed by some accident, it will likely wake up on the spot."

The implication is that this skeleton is very dangerous and may wake up at any time.

"Aunties shopping at the vegetable market like to say that the other party's vegetables are not fresh, and antique shopkeepers like to say that the things in the seller's hands are fake when they meet a seller who doesn't understand the goods." Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe said lightly: "It's nothing more than to suppress the price." "You saw it." Seeing Lan Shiwen didn't have the slightest embarrassment of being exposed, raised his hand and said: "Make a price. The rules of this ghost are very useful to the government. You will get a friendship price."

"Then I'm really sorry, this is not for sale." Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe smiled and shook his head: "I have to keep this ghost myself."

If you don't sell it, why did you ask me to meet? Playing around? Seeing Lan Shiwen glanced at Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe and said: "You want to master this ghost? But as far as I know, the rules of this ghost should not be able to make up for your defects."

Seeing Lan Shiwen didn't know what Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe's core rules were, but after all, he had been killed by Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe so many times before, and he had gained experience from the trials.

"Forcibly mastering a strange thing that cannot be integrated into your own system is not a very rational behavior. That will only make you die faster." Seeing Lan Shiwen advised: "Instead of keeping this time bomb, it is better to exchange it for something you need more and can use immediately. Many people do this."

"You don't need to worry about this." Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe smiled, didn't discuss this topic too much, and said: "I'm looking for you for another matter."

"What's the matter?"

"Tomorrow... oh, it's past zero o'clock, it's today. A swimsuit show will be held here at noon today. I suggest you come and participate if you have time." Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe closed his eyes, and the slightly salty and cold sea breeze brushed his cheeks, reminding him of Xia Yubing's warm breathing.

"I'm not interested in watching that kind of thing." Seeing Lan Shiwen frowned: "You'd better have serious business."

"That is the last public event before Vivian Port is abandoned, so it is held especially grandly. Many socialites will come to participate." Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe continued: "For example, the Liu family descendants who fled overseas, and for example... Ji Bochang's relatives."

No errors in the content, read it at a glance!

Seeing Lan Shiwen's eyes widened immediately: "Who did you say?"

"See for yourself." Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe took out his mobile phone, clicked on a picture, and handed it to Seeing Lan Shiwen: "This is what I got from his close friend in the name of Fan Daike. There are a few names on the guest list that you should be interested in."

For example, Liu Hongwen, who fled overseas and escaped Seeing Lan Shiwen's blood-type purge.

For example, Shen Changjiang, the vice president of the Yanzhou Merchant Association, who fled with Liu Hongwen and defected to Europa.

And for example, Ji Bochang's biological younger brother, who immigrated overseas early before Ji Bochang died.

"Ji Boying."

Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe said lightly: "Ji Bochang is dead, and his youngest son was also killed by you, leaving only a daughter. If I remember correctly, her name is Shi Yurou? In order to take away the shares of Yunshan Pharmaceutical for the sake of decency, you didn't kill her."

"I miscalculated this matter." Seeing Lan Shiwen sighed: "Not long after Yunmengze was unsealed, Shi Yurou, who was under house arrest at home, disappeared mysteriously. No matter how we investigated, we couldn't find any clues... So she is here."

Ji Bochang was a calculating person. He had three sons and two daughters in his life, but only the youngest son Ji Yunying and youngest daughter Shi Yurou remained in the country. The other children went abroad early and were entrusted to his biological younger brother Ji Boying, who immigrated overseas first.

"When Ji Bochang was still alive, he got in touch with an Europa noble family. His younger brother Ji Boying and the children who went abroad later were all under the protection of this family and sold a lot of information to them."

Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe took back his mobile phone from Seeing Lan Shiwen and continued: "The reason why Shi Yurou was able to smuggle out under your noses was also with their help."

Seeing Lan Shiwen remembered the surname circled in red on the guest list: "Flimmis-Ret."
