Chapter 542 Meeting Chen Xingmeng Again
Lin Shi turned around and saw that the person who called him was indeed Chen Xingmeng. It had been almost a year since the last time they met. Lin Shi found that Chen Xingmeng seemed to have become a lot whiter.
"Chen Xingmeng? Why are you here?"
Lin Shi remembered very clearly that Chen Xingmeng's name was definitely not among the contestants who came to participate in the competition.
"Do you know?"
At this time, the lady next to Chen Xingmeng, who seemed taller and darker than Chen Xingmeng, looked at Chen Xingmeng and Lin Shi curiously and asked.
"Oh, let me introduce him. He is Lin Shi, the one who saved me before and the champion of last year's Riding the Wind and Waves Trainer Competition."
Then Chen Xingmeng looked at Lin Shi again and introduced him to the dark-skinned beauty next to her.
"This is cousin Chen Yun. She is the contestant this time. I came up here with her. But I am not sneaking here. I have my ID."
Chen Xingmeng hasn't changed much and is still as carefree as ever.
"So you are Lin Shi. Thank you very much for saving Xing Meng. I look forward to meeting you in the competition."
Chen Yun extended his hand gracefully and shook hands with Lin Shi, his eyes flashing with fighting spirit. He looked very similar to Chen Xingmeng.
"Oh, by the way, we are going to have dinner, why don't you come too, I just happen to have something to tell you."
Chen Xingmeng looked at Lin Shi with sparkling eyes and invited him warmly.
"matter?"
Lin Shi was slightly stunned. The first thing he thought of was naturally the matter about Uncle Lan. After that, the Chen family didn't seem to have any actual breakthroughs in the investigation. Could it be that there was new progress during this period of time...
Thinking of this, Lin Shi nodded.
"Sure, but I have something else to do later. Can we have dinner?"
Hearing Lin Shi's agreement, Chen Xingmeng smiled.
"Then it's settled."
After seeing off sisters Chen Xingmeng and Chen Yun, Lin Shi finally entered his own room and did not meet anyone this time.
The room was clean and odorless. A huge floor-to-ceiling window allowed Lin Shi to clearly see the bustling scenery outside the window. It was a nice room.
After packing up, Lin Shi took Li Taoyao and Qiu Ning to meet up with Su Qimeng and the others. After having dinner together, they strolled around the neighborhood until dusk. When the street lights gradually lit up, everyone began to separate and return to their respective residences.
Lin Shi also arrived as scheduled and met up with Chen Xingmeng.
"Why are you alone? Where's your cousin?"
Looking at Chen Xingmeng who was all alone, Lin Shi asked curiously.
"She didn't come. She wasn't interested in the buffet."
Chen Xingmeng looked around the dining cabinet and said excitedly.
"I was just wondering why you had to come to the buffet?"
"What do you know? This hotel's buffet is famous. You finally come to Kyoto and stay here, how can you not eat? Don't worry, eat, I'll pay!"
Lin Shi: ...
Thank you so much.
"Okay, I'll go get my stuff first, and then we'll split up!"
After saying that, Chen Xingmeng had already plunged into the ocean of delicious food. Looking at Chen Xingmeng's appearance, Lin Shi felt that she really didn't look like the eldest daughter of the Chen family who was famous in South China.
Doesn’t Chen Xinghe give her food?
"Oh, sorry."
Just when Lin Shi was about to go over to get something, a tall and strong figure suddenly came up from behind him and rubbed against him.
Lin Shi turned around and saw the young man in front of him was very tall, but judging from his appearance he should be from an ethnic minority, with a plateau red on his face that was only seen on residents of plateau areas.
"Lin Shi? Are you Lin Shi?"
Before Lin Shi could react, the young man suddenly shouted excitedly after seeing Lin Shi's face.
"Have you heard my story?"
"Uh-huh……"
The sturdy young man nodded repeatedly and continued.
"My name is Pabo. I'm from the Northwest Territories. I used to live in Bosaimo. The forest rangers there are the people I admire the most."
"When I went back a few days ago, I heard your name. I knew that you helped the caregivers there to get rid of a lot of poachers. It was really admirable."
"Pabo?"
Hearing this name, Lin Shi was certain that this guy was indeed a contestant in the national competition. Although he looked a little old, he was not very old.
"If you go to Kunlun Mountain again and fight against poachers, be sure to call me. I have always wanted to be a forest ranger."
Pabo seemed to have a very generous personality. He patted Lin Shi's shoulder and talked loudly. After chatting for a long time, he let go of Lin Shi, took the stacked plates of food, and walked towards his seat.
At this time, Chen Xingmeng also returned with a full load of food...
……
Tell me, you have something to talk to me about? What's going on?
Is there any conclusion about Uncle Bluebeard?
As the food on the table became less and less, Lin Shi drank juice and looked at Chen Xingmeng and asked.
When talking about serious matters, Chen Xingmeng's expression became serious.
"That Uncle Lan has been sneaking into our Chen family as a captain for a long time. He has never revealed anything during this period. He lives a simple life, or rather, he is very careful. He has not left any clues at all."
"We also went to the place where he had stored things before based on some of the information we obtained from the investigation, but it was also empty. It looked like someone had taken it away in advance."
Chen Xingmeng's words made Lin Shi nod.
"As expected, it seems that the other party does have an accomplice. In this case, doesn't that mean there are no clues at all?"
“No, look at this.”
As he spoke, Chen Xingmeng took out his cell phone and showed Lin Shi a picture. It was a map, but some places on it were marked with red circles and crosses.
"This is a map we found later. It should have been drawn by Uncle Lan."
Lin Shi looked at the map and identified it carefully.
"So it seems that he is looking for something or some place. Do you know where this map is drawn?"
"of course."
Chen Xingmeng nodded and spoke slowly.
"It's the Sea Cliff Secret Realm. The Sea Cliff Secret Realm is different from many other secret realms. It is a secret realm with a large sea area and many islands displayed in it."
"To travel to these secret islands, we usually need some experienced captains, and Uncle Lan is one of them."
"We compared them later and found that many of the places marked on this map were places he had visited with my Chen family sailing team."
"Combined with your story, we have reason to infer that Uncle Lan's purpose of sneaking into our Chen family was to find the sunken ship, or something on the sunken ship. After knowing that you explored the sunken ship, he didn't think of taking action against you and taking back the things."
Chen Xingmeng told the news he knew, which was almost the same as what Lin Shi had guessed. However, Lin Shi still didn't know what the other party wanted.
"We will continue to investigate Uncle Lan's matter. The people behind him should still think that the shipwreck is owned by our Chen family alone. If there is really something they want there, they will probably take action again."
"We will not give up."
