Li Muchen had to admit that Sister Mei was really smart.
As soon as she asked how many sirens there were, Li Muchen knew what she wanted to say.
Sister Mei is just an ordinary person who has practiced martial arts. Before yesterday, she had never been exposed to spiritual practice, never encountered monsters, and had never dealt with the Sun Sect. She did not know their methods. But she was able to combine these two
Think of things.
Sister Mei's reminder made the hairs on Ji Guanglai and Ning Feng's bodies stand up.
"Isn't this...impossible?"
"It's best not," Sister Mei said, "but I can't figure out why a person who kills someone should dispose of the body like that and put it at sea? It's very much like a ritual. And rituals always have a purpose.
Such as sacrifice, such as resurrection..."
Sister Mei's words, and when you think about the scene when the fishermen found the girl's body in the sea, it gives you a creepy feeling.
Ning Fengquan said angrily: "If this is true, it is absolutely insane! Cutting to pieces with a thousand cuts is not an exaggeration! They actually have the nerve to negotiate with us and want us to release them! I see, those foreign devils can't be cut into pieces!"
Catch them all!”
Ji Guanglai asked Ning Fengquan what happened.
Ning Fengquan explained how the Westerners came to negotiate today, using freedom of religious belief as an excuse, and threatening to release him by withdrawing capital, cutting off trade, and blocking the port.
Ji Guanglai said: "Lao San, you did the right thing! Regardless of whether the Kraken incident has anything to do with them or not, killing someone is a life-saving measure. James must be tried and sentenced openly to give an explanation to the islanders and merchants."
Ning Fengquan said: "Now that the evidence is conclusive, there is no need to delay any more. I plan to have a public trial tomorrow."
Ji Guanglai said: "Okay, invite those Westerners to listen and see what they have to say."
Then he said to Li Muchen: "Master Li, if you are interested, you might as well come and join in the fun tomorrow."
Li Muchen originally wanted to leave after finishing his work, but it was related to the Sun Holy Cult and the Kraken incident happened, so he decided to stay and take a look. Moreover, he admired the behavior of the two island owners and the simple people on the island.
Folk customs, if you can help, help them.
Then he looked at Sister Mei.
Sister Mei smiled and said, "I don't care. The sea water here is much cleaner than that in Yongcheng. It's not bad to stay for a day or two and enjoy the scenery."
Seeing that Sister Mei was happy, Li Muchen naturally agreed.
The two island owners were very happy and ordered people to arrange their accommodation.
Li Muchen took out the Fire Dragon Pearl and said: "I have two things to do here today. The first is to return the complete jade to Zhao. This is the Fire Dragon Pearl. I promised the owner of Ning Island that I would return it to Kowloon Island."
Then he put the beads on the table.
"But I want to make one point clear," Li Muchen added, "We did not steal the Fire Dragon Ball. This matter is a misunderstanding."
Ji Guanglai smiled and said: "Since the things are back, it doesn't matter who took them."
Li Muchen said: "No, this needs to be made clear. Just because I returned it, you can't say that I stole it. As for who stole it, I don't want to say anymore. Anyway, that person has been killed by me, and now
There is no proof, and if you definitely think that I stole it, I won’t explain it anymore.”
Li Muchen didn't mention Liu Jinsheng because the causes and consequences of this matter were relatively complicated. To clarify, it would definitely involve Sister Mei. He didn't want to embarrass Sister Mei, and he didn't want her to be sad anymore because of the past.
In addition, the ancestors of the Liu family have made great contributions to the people of Sheji, which can be regarded as saving some face for them.
As for whether others might misunderstand, such as thinking, "Why did you return it if you didn't steal it?", he wasn't worried and didn't care.
If the two island owners really think so, it means that they think highly of them, put down the Fire Dragon Ball, turn around and leave.
Sister Mei understood what Li Muchen was thinking and looked at him gratefully.
Ji Guanglai said: "No matter how stupid Ji is, he will not think that Mr. Li stole it. The Fire Dragon Ball has special meaning and role for our Kowloon Island. Now that it is back, we are too late to be grateful. How can we make blind suspicions."
Ning Fengquan also said: "Yes, after the martial arts competition, when I came back to talk, my second brother said that the Fire Dragon Ball was definitely not stolen by Mr. Li."
"Oh? Island Master Ji has never seen me, why are you so sure?" Li Muchen was a little curious.
Ji Guanglai smiled and said: "The third child came back and told me the details of the martial arts competition. Mr. Li's cultivation level is close to that of a human being. How could he do such things? A real thief would never admit it, let alone
I will promise on the spot to come to Kowloon Island with the Fire Dragon Ball in person."
Li Muchen was more impressed with Ji Guanglai, laughed, and didn't mention the matter anymore.
Ning Fengquan asked: "Master Li, you just said two things, what is the second thing?"
Li Muchen asked: "Does Lord Ning know about the Chen family in Shenzhou?"
"I know that the Chen family is a wealthy maritime businessman and has some dealings in the shipping business."
"I heard that you have some conflicts?"
"There are some. The main reason is that when we were developing Kowloon Island, we invited the Chen family, but they looked down on us at that time, did not come to invest, and were unwilling to cooperate with us. Now that we have started it, we will naturally cooperate with them.
Competition has formed.”
"Is the conflict serious?" Li Muchen considered his tone, "If possible, I would like to be a lobbyist."
Ning Fengquan was stunned for a moment, then laughed loudly and said: "Actually, there is no big conflict. They do freight and we do general navigation. We can win-win cooperation. It's just that everyone loves face and no one wants to give in.
There was some friction. Years ago, I heard that the Chen family invited a grandmaster to show up and negotiate with us. We also said at that time that it would be useless for any grandmaster to come. Kowloon Island lacks everything but a grandmaster. But I didn’t expect it to be Li
Young Master, Grandmaster Li, hahahaha..."
Ning Fengquan laughed loudly and heartily, "Master Li will be a lobbyist, so it will be fine. In business matters, I can make the decision without my eldest and second brothers having to step in. From now on, we will never have trouble with the Chen family's ship."
, we give the green light to the Chen family’s business.”
Things went smoothly, and Li Muchen was also happy.
He wanted to help Chen Wenxue, so he helped the Chen family, but he also didn't want Kowloon Island to suffer, so he said, "Mu Chen admires the large number of people on Ning Island. I think it's better for you two to sit down and talk.
It's a win-win cooperation, don't let you suffer because of me. We are both friends, and I don't favor anyone."
Ning Fengquan said: "This is the best, then I will find an opportunity to talk to the Chen family."
"Well, let me call the Chen family."
Li Muchen took out his cell phone and found that there was no signal here.
Seeing the confusion on his face, Ning Fengquan leaned over to take a look and said with a smile: "The island is closed. In the past, only satellite phones could be used. Now that North Island is undergoing development, submarine optical cables have just been connected, and mobile networks have also been built. However,
You haven’t activated data roaming yet. You can use my mobile phone to make calls.”
As he said that, he took out his own mobile phone, hesitated for a moment, and said, "I'd better make the call to be more sincere. I have Secretary Chen Dingbang's phone number."
…
Chen Dingbang is sitting in the office, flipping through documents. The business development in Shenzhou has been very stable recently, especially the Huang family. After the last incident, not only did they not fall out because the marriage between the two families fell through, but they also got closer to the Chen family.
They are close, and they almost unconditionally support the Chen family in many businesses.
In contrast to the success in Shenzhou, there is trouble in Jiangdong. The Pan family and the Chen family have cut off contact. Not only that, Pan Fengnian has also united with other wealthy families in Jiangdong to block the Chen family's development to Jiangdong.
And Jiangdong is Shenzhou’s back garden. Without the support from Jiangdong’s rear, many businesses in Shenzhou will become difficult to do.
Just as he was thinking, the secretary knocked on the door and came in. He covered his cell phone with both hands and whispered: "Mr. Chen, your phone number is from Kowloon Island."
Chen Dingbang was stunned: "Kowloon Island?"
Then I took the phone and saw a series of unfamiliar numbers on it.
"Hello, who's there?"
"Master Chen? I am Ning Fengquan from Kowloon Island."
"Ning...Ning Island Master?!" Chen Dingbang was surprised.
"Master Chen, please excuse me. Mr. Li is here. He proposed that our two families work together. If Master Chen is free, come to Kowloon Island to see the sea view? If you are not free, then I can only come to Shenzhou to pay my respects another day.
You are at the dock of Huangpu River."
When Chen Dingbang listened, he went from surprised to excited.
"Li...Is Young Master Li still there?...Okay, okay, I'm free! I'm free! I'll be here right away!"
