At around three o'clock in the afternoon, this area of the Zuihong Sea was blocked by martial law, and the beach was full of tourists and staff who had been evacuated from the underwater world.
On the blue sea, one speedboat after another shuttled back and forth in search amidst the roar, and there were more than a hundred aircraft in the sky above the sea monitoring the sea area at all times, as if they were afraid that another mosasaur would come from the bottom of the sea. pop up.
The top administrator of Liquor City arrived here half an hour after the incident, and with him came the Liquor City's army.
The beach was overcrowded. The tourists who had experienced the terrifying scene under the sea probably just escaped from death, so they were all stranded here, without even the strength to move.
Among these tourists, there were also many medical staff walking among the crowd. Although the protective cover of the underwater world was not broken, there were many tourists who participated in adventure treasure hunting outside the protective cover and were affected by the Mosasaurus.
No one thought that they would encounter such a thing while out for fun, but even if the rescue came in time, innocent people still lost their lives in this accident.
The already noisy beach was mixed with the cries of relatives of the victims, making this Red Sea beach, known as a resort, seem to be cast in a shadow.
On this messy beach, Xiao Tingyun looked at the vast sea with a gloomy expression, turning a blind eye to the middle-aged man next to him who kept wiping his sweat with him in fear.
The middle-aged man's name is Song Ji, who is also the top administrator of the wine city. Song Ji never expected that in this sudden accident, there would be His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who was about to hold the succession ceremony. At his first sight, he evacuated from the bottom of the sea. When he saw His Highness the Crown Prince in the crowd, Song Ji almost knelt down on the spot.
If something happened to the prince in Liquor City, he would not be able to compensate even if he had ten heads.
However, Xiao Tingyun obviously has no patience to listen to Song Jicheng's frightened confession now. He is looking for Long Jiu.
Long Jiu never came back after dealing with the two mosasaurs. Xiao Tingyun waited for a while after returning to the underwater world. If the staff hadn't started to evacuate tourists, he probably wouldn't have come up from the bottom of the sea.
"Your Highness." Song Ji saw Xiao Tingyun looking at the sea with a gloomy face, thinking that he was concerned about the situation under the sea, so he finally stopped his frightened confession and said cautiously: "The undersea world has been closed. We have sent people down to search for other missing survivors. Now it is crowded and messy. Why don’t you go to the hotel to rest first, and the official will report to you later?”
Xiao Tingyun retracted his gaze from the sea and frowned when he looked at Song Ji.
Song Ji's heart immediately dropped.
In Song Ji's frightened look, Xiao Tingyun said in a deep voice: "You only sent people to search and rescue under the sea?"
Song Ji was stunned, what else?
Xiao Tingyun's more than 20 years of self-cultivation was almost destroyed by Song Ji, an idiot. He said angrily: "Zuihonghai has always done a good job in safety issues for so many years. How could he not be aware of the approaching danger in advance this time? Two mosasaurs appeared in the underwater world, and the security system did not alert them. Do you think this is normal?"
Song Ji immediately panicked and said: "This is not abnormal. I will ask someone to check the security system now."
For an idiot like Song Ji who jumped when poked, Xiao Tingyun still maintained his grace and did not let himself kick him. He thought he could even cultivate Buddhism.
Xiao Tingyun took a deep breath and tried to keep calm and said to him: "Not only the security system must be investigated, but the entire sea area must be investigated! How could a Mosasaurus that only exists on the home planet be investigated? Appeared on the Imperial Capital Planet? And it happened to appear here. All these must be investigated by Gu Dao. Gu Dao wants to see who has the ability to cover the sky with one hand. Since he quietly killed two mosasaurs The Imperial Capital Star was obtained from the mother planet and dropped into the Drunk Red Sea."
Song Ji immediately responded, and with sweat on his forehead, he turned around to find someone, but before he could run away, he was stopped by Xiao Tingyun again.
Xiao Tingyun: "It has only been more than an hour since the Mosasaurus appeared. Now this sea area has been blocked. Don't let go of any clues. If you encounter suspicious people during the search, you don't have to follow any rules. They will be detained first." .”
"Yes, yes, I will go and make arrangements right now." Song Ji almost crawled and rolled over to call for someone after hearing this.
But although Song Ji left, he left his secretary behind. Poor secretary, even though her immediate boss ran away, she still had to stand up straight on ten-inch high heels. Stay here with me.
The prince stood here and did not move, and the secretary did not dare to move. It was already soft sand. The secretary only stood for a while, and her body began to shake and she was about to collapse.
However, the prince, who had always been a gentle gentleman, seemed to be a different person. He had no sympathy for this beautiful and weak secretary.
Until the secretary was already thinking about taking off her high heels regardless of her appearance, a delicate and quiet female voice came from the crowd behind them, seeming to call her brother.
Xiao Tingyun suddenly turned around, startling the secretary. But soon, the secretary discovered that His Highness the Crown Prince, who had always had a gloomy face before, had a gloomy face as if the sky had cleared up after the rain. Her expression instantly faded away, and almost at the speed of changing her face, it was replaced by a smile so gentle that it could make you pinch water.
The secretary's eyes widened in shock, but the next second, she saw Xiao Tingyun striding back, and opened his arms to catch the beautiful little girl who jumped out of the crowd.
Seeing Xiao Tingyun steadily catching the little girl and allowing her to hang on him like a koala, the secretary suddenly thought to herself, no wonder His Highness the Crown Prince's face was so expressionless just now. They were all so ugly, it turned out that they had lost their female companions.
No, the female companion has finally been found, and His Royal Highness will also smile.
but
The secretary murmured in her heart. It is said that His Royal Highness the Prince has a fiancée, and her fiancée is a young lady from the Long family. Could it be that this little girl is the young lady from the Long family? Otherwise, His Highness the Crown Prince would not have taken the time to accompany others here just a few days before he was about to take the throne.
She just said, why did His Highness the Crown Prince, who was supposed to be preparing for the succession ceremony in the Imperial City, suddenly come to the Liquor City, and even come to the underwater world to play alone? It turned out that he came with his fiancée, this makes sense. .
The secretary looked at the two people who were almost stuck together not far away, and thought with a sour heart that His Highness the Crown Prince, who just looked like the King of Hell, unexpectedly doted on his fiancée.
And the prince who doted on his fiancée made a shocking move the next moment.
After Xiao Tingyun caught Long Jiu, he suddenly took out one of the hands that was holding her, and slapped Long Jiu's little butt several times quickly and accurately.
Long Jiu: "????"
Long Jiu was stunned and looked at Xiao Tingyun with a look of disbelief and grievance.
However, after the beating, Xiao Tingyun still seemed to be puzzled by his hatred. He gritted his teeth and asked, "Where did you go before?"
Long Jiu's big eyes were immediately filled with mist. Although Xiao Tingyun knew that she was faking it, when he saw her big eyes that could make him cry, he suddenly felt distressed again and quickly softened his voice. He coaxed: "I haven't been able to wait for you to come back. Although I know that with your ability, you will not encounter any danger, I will be worried after all. I have been worried about not being able to see you."
After hearing this, Long Jiu blinked his eyes and wiped away the mist in his eyes, but he still said aggrievedly: "I went to catch the bad guy."
Xiao Tingyun was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then his expression darkened, "What kind of villain?"
Long Jiu then explained in detail: "When I was at the bottom of the sea, after taking care of the two big guys, I originally thought of taking the opportunity to come back, but before I found the opportunity, I suddenly noticed something A special breath appeared in the sea. I remember that breath. I woke up in the middle of the night because I noticed another breath. The breath that appeared in the sea just now is very similar to the one I noticed last time."
Xiao Tingyun thought for a moment and remembered what Long Jiu said about being woken up in the middle of the night. Then he frowned and said, "Isn't what you sensed that time an illusion?"
"No." Long Jiu shook his head, "Today's confirmation, I am very sure that the last time was not an illusion, and I feel that the accident this time has something to do with that aura, so I just chased him out."
"No one was caught?" Xiao Tingyun asked.
Long Jiu shook his head and said angrily: "That guy is so good at sneaking away. I even turned the sea upside down and couldn't catch him."
Xiao Tingyun nodded thoughtfully, and then coaxed: "Forget it if I didn't catch him this time. It will be the same if I catch him next time."
This was the first time Long Jiu failed. Of course, she couldn't be coaxed by Xiao Tingyun like this. She looked a little disgusted and said unhappily: "Who knows when the next time will be?"
Xiao Tingyun held her in his arms like a child, patted her back to comfort her, and said, "I think it might not take long."
"Huh?" Long Jiu looked at him suspiciously and asked, "Why do you think so?"
Xiao Tingyun smiled at her, "It's intuitive, but I can't figure it out a bit."
Long Jiu tilted his head and asked, "Where?"
Xiao Tingyun narrowed his eyes slightly and pondered: "What is the reason for today's incident? If it is because of you and me, but this time I brought you here to play on my own initiative. Apart from the two of us, who else I didn’t know that we would come here. But if it wasn’t for you and me, then why? Although the Liquor City is a tourist attraction on the Imperial City, it is not holiday season now. The number of tourists who come here to play is less than during the holidays. It can be said that it is less than two-thirds. Even if they attack the underwater world, the loss is really nothing compared to it, and this is just a tourist destination, there is no need to attack at all."
Long Jiu slowly nodded his head and said in agreement: "Yes, if I were the one behind the attack, I wouldn't waste my time coming here to cause trouble. Instead, I would wait until your succession ceremony in a few days to do it. .”
"Well, so I can't figure out the reason for attacking here." Xiao Tingyun frowned.
Rather than causing chaos here, wouldn't his succession ceremony in a few days be a better target?
Xiao Tingyun couldn't figure it out, and neither could Long Jiu, but neither of them liked to get entangled, so after they couldn't figure it out, they simply stopped thinking about it for the time being.
Xiao Tingyun suppressed this matter in his heart for the time being. Now that he was holding Long Jiu, he was relieved that he had been mentioning it before. As long as this person was still in his arms, no matter how many messy things were waiting behind him, Xiao Tingyun didn't care about him.
It's just that Xiao Tingyun felt helpless. He originally took his children out to play, but now that they were being harassed like this, they would definitely not be able to continue playing.
He looked at Long Jiu's face, thinking that the children were no longer playing for fun. Xiao Tingyun turned around and looked back. He finally took a good look at the secretary who he had forgotten about.
The secretary had been watching them, so after Xiao Tingyun turned around and looked over, she trotted over in a very polite manner, still holding a pair of ten-inch high heels that could be used as a murder weapon.
"Your Highness." The secretary called out respectfully, looking hesitantly at Long Jiu hanging on Xiao Tingyun. She was afraid that she had guessed and called the wrong person, so she didn't know what to call him for a while.
Xiao Tingyun's gentlemanly demeanor returned at this time. He saw the secretary's confusion, so he reminded her gently: "She is my fiancée."
The secretary said with a smile on her face: "Ms. Long."
But I was sighing in my heart. Sure enough, I guessed correctly just now. She was really the eldest lady of the Long family.
Xiao Tingyun did not give any instructions. He just raised his eyes and glanced around, then said to the secretary: "Let Mr. Song handle the matters here. We will return to the imperial city now. As for the results of the investigation here, Tell Mr. Song to submit it to the General Administration of Security tonight."
The secretary nodded solemnly: "Okay, Your Highness, I will definitely tell Mr. Song."
Xiao Tingyun looked at the crying crowd not far away and frowned: "The list of the victims should be compiled as soon as possible. Those who should be comforted and those who should be compensated should not be careless. As for this underwater world, for the time being, Let’s suspend business for rectification first. The security system failed to warn in advance, which is their negligence. We must let this company hand over their security system data without any concealment.”
The secretary nodded immediately: "Okay, Your Highness."
Xiao Tingyun nodded slightly to her, "You can stay here and wait for Mr. Song. We will leave first. There is no need to send him off."
As soon as he finished speaking, he hugged Long Jiu and left, leaving the secretary standing there with a bitter look on her face, worried about her immediate boss.
Although His Highness the Crown Prince did not say anything about Mr. Song, the secretary knew that after this incident, her immediate boss would probably be dismissed because of this. After all, she had not forgotten the stupid behavior her boss had shown in front of His Highness the Crown Prince. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also did not forget.
