The man's next words made Jiang Yao's heart suddenly lift: "Although this villa area is safe, since radiation exists, the surrounding water sources are likely to be affected, so you'd better leave here as soon as possible."
"Cough cough cough..." Jiang Yao was drinking water from a water glass, and suddenly a mouthful of water stuck in her throat. Damn it, she couldn't finish her words in one breath.
Seeing that her face was red from coughing, the man stepped forward and stretched out his hand to smooth her back: "Are you okay? I'm sorry, I didn't mean to say that."
Feeling her sudden approach, Jiang Yao stepped back suddenly, staring at him defensively.
The man raised his hands in the air awkwardly and stepped back to a safe social position: "Sorry, don't get me wrong, I just want to help you."
Seeing that the other party did not go any further, Jiang Yao felt relieved. Fortunately, it was not the story of Mr. Dongguo and the wolf. But this also reminded her that it was inappropriate to stay here alone with a strange man.
She looked at the man and issued an eviction order: "Thank you for telling me this. My husband and his friend will be back soon. They have some friendship with the developer here. You'd better leave as soon as possible."
The man nodded and looked at Jiang Yao with grateful eyes: "I should be the one thanking you. If you hadn't opened the secret door, I don't know how long I would have been kept underground. Don't worry, I will leave now and I won't cause you any trouble." "
"By the way," the man suddenly remembered something, "Do you have a pen? I'll write you my friend's contact information. If you need me in the future, call him and you can find me."
Afraid that Jiang Yao wouldn't accept it, he added another sentence: "The grace of saving your life should be repaid with a spring of water. Just think of me as repaying your kindness."
Jiang Yao did not refuse and gave him a pen and paper.
The man wrote the number, handed the note to Jiang Yao, thanked her solemnly again, then turned and walked towards the door.
Looking at the number and company name on the note, Jiang Yao's eyes froze——
DA Architectural Design Office?
Isn’t that one of the top ten architectural firms in the world in later generations? It has participated in the renovation of the Louvre in Paris, the design of many national museums, and the planning of commercial districts in many developed cities. In short, it is a company that has designed many world-renowned landmark buildings and won various industry awards!
"Have you ever heard of this company?" Seeing Jiang Yao's slightly stunned expression, the man asked.
Jiang Yao put away her eyes and said calmly: "Well, I heard someone mentioned this firm."
Jiang Yao has collaborated with DA on many projects in later generations and is quite familiar with the inside of this company. She looked at the name left by the man, David Huang Weide, and it seemed that DA was named after him. But why have future generations never heard of this name?
A trace of pride appeared on the man's face: "This firm was co-founded by my friend and I, but he contributed the capital and I took the technical stake."
The four words "technical investment" solved Jiang Yao's doubts. It is possible that this person was the initial founder of DA, but was later kicked out by another partner.
Jiang Yao felt relieved, thought for a while, and reminded: "Things in the business world are changing rapidly. You have been missing for more than half a year. When you return, you should first find out the situation around you before taking action."
"Thank you for reminding me." The man nodded solemnly towards Jiang Yao and turned around.
"Wait a minute." Jiang Yao stopped him and handed him a roll of stuff. "Take the five hundred dollars."
Judging from his unkempt appearance, he must have no money on him. There is still a long way to go from Thailand to Singapore, so we used it as a financial aid to pay for his travel expenses.
The man didn't expect that she knew about his embarrassment. All his money had been taken away, and he was indeed penniless now. Just now, out of a man's pride, he was too embarrassed to speak.
"Thank you, I'll give you an IOU, and I'll pay you back when I get back."
Jiang Yao didn't miss the five hundred dollars, so she regarded it as a good deed and waved her hand: "No, you can leave quickly."
After seeing the man off, Jiang Yao looked at the time. It was just past noon, and Chen Yanbei and the others were not expected to come back until the afternoon. She turned back to the kitchen, planning to continue cooking noodles.
Knowing that the water source might contain radiation, she no longer dared to use the water here to cook noodles, but replaced it with mineral water in the space.
While getting water, she suddenly remembered that when island countries discharged nuclear waste into the sea in later generations, she was afraid that the seafood she ate would contain radiation, so she bought a radiation detector.
After searching the space for a while, I found the instrument in the tool box.
Jiang Yao took out the instrument, took a basin of water from the faucet, soaked the test paper in it, soaked it for a minute, took out the test paper, and put it under the instrument for testing——
The radiation value displayed on the screen is within the normal range.
Jiang Yao was finally relieved. It seemed that she had not been exposed to radiation during this trip.
But given the potential risk of radiation, it's better to leave here as soon as possible.
Soon, the water in the pot started boiling, and Jiang Yao threw in the instant noodles and seasoning packets to cook. Fortunately, the circuit was normal this time. After the instant noodles were cooked, Jiang Yao turned off the induction cooker and carried the instant noodles to the dining table in the living room.
Just as I was about to have a hot meal of noodles, the doorbell in the living room rang suddenly.
Jiang Yao put down her chopsticks and sighed. It seems that she is not going to let her eat today!
She got up and walked to the door and asked in English: "Who is it?"
An English voice with a Thai accent came from outside the door: "Hello, I am your neighbor. I made a lot of coconut milk jelly today. Come here and give it to you to try. Was the mango lasagna delicious yesterday?"
It turns out that yesterday's mango milleleuca was also a gift from this person.
Jiang Yao opened the door and saw a middle-aged woman wearing traditional Thai clothes standing outside. The material of the clothes looked like high-quality brocade, like advanced customization. She had a kind smile on her well-maintained face, and her arms were bent. He was also carrying a delicate little bamboo basket.
The woman handed the bamboo basket to Jiang Yao and looked inside through her: "Hey, Mr. Huo isn't here?"
Jiang Yao smiled politely at her: "He went out in the morning and said he would be back for lunch at noon, so he will probably be there soon."
The woman was still smiling: "Oh, I just made some Thai specialties for lunch. If you don't mind, you can come over and eat together."
"My husband and I have been vacationing here for the past month. I especially like cooking, but I have diabetes and can only cook but not eat, so every time I finish cooking, I share it with the neighbors."
The woman explained casually, but her eyes glanced into the living room from time to time, as if she was looking for something.
"Hey, you're too polite, but I cooked noodles for lunch, so I want to try your cooking another day." Jiang Yao dealt with the woman in front of her without changing her expression, but she became wary in her heart.
They had just arrived here and had no interaction with this woman. The man she was looking for was probably the man who left just now.
Jiang Yao simply opened the door completely and invited generously: "Would you like to come in and sit down?"
"Will it bother you?" the woman said, but she couldn't help but step in. When she saw the steaming bowl of noodles on the dining table, she turned around and took the small bamboo basket from Jiang Yao's hand, " This needs to be kept refrigerated, let me put it in the refrigerator for you, so as not to delay your meal."
"That's really troubling you." Jiang Yao didn't shirk. She looked at the woman's back as she walked into the kitchen, then turned back to the dining table and sat down.
As soon as she entered the door, she went straight to the kitchen. Now Jiang Yao was very sure of what the woman was looking for.
Fortunately, the man just now didn't leave any traces in the kitchen. There were no footprints on the ground. Even the food packaging bags he had eaten were recycled by Jiang Yao into his own space.
The woman searched around the kitchen and found nothing, then walked out with a smile.
Seeing Jiang Yao sitting at the dining table eating noodles without changing her expression, she patted her forehead: "Hey, look at my memory, I suddenly remembered that the fire in my kitchen was not turned off, so I went back first."
"Then you have to go back quickly." Jiang Yao stood up and walked the woman to the door. After closing the door, she breathed a sigh of relief, really afraid that something would be seen.
"ah!"
As soon as she turned around, Jiang Yao screamed in fright.
"Why, why haven't you left yet?" Seeing the man appear again, Jiang Yao quickly looked out through the peephole on the door to make sure that the woman didn't fight back, then she turned around, clutching her chest.
The man said: "I was hiding behind the bushes in the garden just now, preparing to leave through the back door, but I happened to see her going out and walking towards you. I was afraid that she would hurt you, so I came back."
"Her husband is the one who cooperated with Brother Kun to develop this resort. She is a ruthless character. In order to get a bank loan, she gave away her daughter."
Anyone who can cooperate with Brother Kun must not be a kind person. Jiang Yao said: "I'm fine, you should leave quickly. Brother Kun is not at the resort now. When he comes back and sends more people, it will be even harder for you to run out. "
This time, before Jiang Yao could say anything, the man immediately left through the back door.
Chen Yanbei and Huo Chenfeng's side.
The two followed Zhou Kun on a yacht to a small island in the center of the sea.
The entire island is heart-shaped, and the blue water is clearly visible to the bottom. Sitting on the yacht, you can see schools of fish swimming underwater and colorful coral reefs.
Huo Chenfeng sighed: "The scenery is really good! It has great development value."
Zhou Kun curled his lips and pointed to a huge tent set up on the island: "Actually, someone is already doing business on it."
Huo Chenfeng and the two looked in the direction he pointed, and saw two girls in bikinis coming out to greet the three of them: "Sawadika!"
Brother Kun looked at the two of them with eyes that only men would understand: "This is a private club that my friends and I work with, and it is specially used to receive distinguished guests. It is surrounded by the sea and has its own world. You can have fun as you want."
After saying that, he clapped his hands, and another row of hot bikini girls walked out of the tent. They were fat and thin, with different hair colors and skin colors, and all races.
"I didn't know what Mr. Huo and Mr. Chen liked yesterday." Brother Kun raised his chin towards the row of women, "You two take your time, you can play whatever you want."
The two of them didn't expect that the visit arranged by Brother Kun would turn out like this.
Huo Chenfeng coughed twice and said to Brother Kun: "Mr. Zhou is interested. In fact, we only need to visit the island, and there is no need for other receptions."
Looking at the women gathered in front of him, Chen Yanbei's face turned cold to the naked eye. His whole body was like a piece of ice, and the air pressure around him instantly dropped by several degrees.
Brother Kun knew that some young men from rich families had special hobbies, so he gave a very gentle smile on his lips: "Don't worry, you two, they have all been tested and guaranteed to be clean."
