Chapter 69: The Shadow of Calm
"Okay, where do we go next?" After eating a meal, Yang Jingyi felt much happier and asked after getting into the car.
"Hehe, when the time comes, you'll know." Xue Yunchu didn't tell her clearly, but aroused her curiosity. In the car, he made a phone call and said a few words that Yang Jingyi didn't understand.
Xue Yunchu drove to the east of the living area and stopped not far from the sea, where there was a pier with a luxury yacht parked on the pier. Yang Jingyi couldn't help covering her mouth, it was the first time she had seen such a luxurious yacht.
The yacht is streamlined and very large, about 20 meters long, and five or six meters wide at its widest point. The milky white appearance, in the afterglow of the setting sun, reflects bursts of soft light, giving people a sense of peace and quiet.
Xue Yunchu stepped on the bench on the yacht, and then stretched out his hand to her.
Yang Jingyi still couldn't believe it, and stepped on the pedal carefully, worried that she would fall if she was not careful. A hand reached out, and she held it without much hesitation. A warm and powerful feeling followed, and a hint of red unconsciously surged on his face.
The other party helped her onto the yacht, and then let go of her hand, making her relax while faintly disappointed. But soon this disappointment is diluted by the luxury of the yacht in front of you.
Xue Yunchu led her into the interior of the yacht, and the equipment inside was extremely luxurious compared to the outside. Kitchen, bedroom, living room, bar, bathroom, and all kinds of living and entertainment facilities can be found. If anything, there is no Wi-Fi in it. What impressed her the most was not the equipment that looked very expensive, but the fact that both bedrooms had a Simmons bed that looked huge and comfortable to lie on. These two big beds made her blush, which made Xue Yunchu puzzled for a long time.
"This yacht was given to me by the project sponsor, the functions are quite complete, I usually don't use it, I happened to have a job when I met last time, and I didn't treat you well, so this time I will compensate for it." Xue Yunchu said casually.
"So I'm the first guest on this yacht? That's an honor. Yang Jingyi's mood calmed down, and she didn't show much flattery. She has long since left the era of little girls, and although this luxurious item surprises her, it will not make her feel that she is a head lower than the other party.
The mood changed so quickly, Xue Yunchu shook his head secretly, and his heart still didn't analyze it anymore, it didn't work out at all. He led the other party to the lookout in front of the wheelhouse, which was probably the higher seat in the center of the yacht, and of course the wheelhouse was at the top. This is the best place to observe the sea scenery from a yacht. Yang Jingyi stood above, facing the humid sea breeze, the sea surface was sparkling, and there were unknown seabirds rising and falling in the distance, and she couldn't help but feel a little intoxicated.
Xue Yunchu entered the wheelhouse and slowly started the yacht. Thus began a separate and short sea journey.
"The other party got on the yacht again, with the Chinese woman we just hired." Smith reported to Grandrent over a secret phone call.
"It seems that this yacht is the first time I have used it since I gave it to him, and it seems that his feelings for this woman are not ordinary." Grandrent said on the other end.
"Walker, isn't it a bit hasty for you to recruit this woman to the island, in case she's a spy, even if she isn't, it's hard for her to find out about something." Smith was a little puzzled, this woman was not a very outstanding scholar, although her grades were good, but it was too rash to enter the laboratory base like this.
"Smith, my old friend, haven't you heard a word?" Old Grande kept silent about the subject and changed the subject.
"What words? Walker," Smith asked in passing.
"A man's heart can only be truly settled when he has a woman." Grandrent said with a little meaning.
"Then why don't we use the people we have?" Smith asked, and although he had some answers, he still wanted to hear Grandrent's explanation, lest he make any mistakes.
"If it worked, I would have used it a long time ago, didn't you notice that he was not interested in the top beauties I had worked so hard to collect from various countries? I asked my psychologists and they said it was a sign of self-preservation, which was probably related to his past life experiences. They suggested that this kind of person can probably relax a little in the face of those who are familiar with the past, and you know, now that the Chinese country is getting stronger and stronger, even I can't do kidnapping casually, I can only do it through some more legal means. Luckily, I found out that one of his former high school classmates had just graduated from New York, so I was able to recruit her to the island. Grandrent paused and took a puff on his cigar.
"Of course, I have investigated her details beforehand, and there is no gap in all life experiences and time, which excludes the possibility of secret training, a weak woman, what can she make in my territory, but you must be careful to protect her, and don't let some unrelated people harass her, so as not to cause any unhappiness to my doctor." Grandrent said pointedly.
Smith knew that someone had reported something else to him, and said, "I'll pay attention to this, you're right, Walker, this man must be caught." I have carefully read all the experimental results of his previous stage, and there are only two words for evaluation: genius. Genius instructor, genius organizer, genius practitioner. Even Edison, or Albert Einstein, at his age, would have been impossible. ”
"Hehe," came old Grand's slightly smug laugh from the microphone, "it is fortunate that this genius has similar desires as me, otherwise it would have been impossible for such a person to work under me; Thinking about it, he must have understood that those stupid governments and parliamentarians would not be able to support his kind of research. ”
"That's right," said Smith, "but as we enter the mid-stage of experimental research, our level of secrecy will be further increased, and it is best not to pass by within 30 nautical miles of the Svensson Islands." Lest you find anything unusual here. In addition, the spy satellites of the British and American governments should also be on guard, lest they inadvertently take pictures. ”
"Well, I'll do it for you if you ask for it. By the way, I found out that the European Wildlife Conservation Society seems to be going to the Swensson Islands to observe the life of their free-range animals, and these guys can't be rough. Mind you, of course I'll stop them from landing on the island in the name of private territory. Grandrent remembered a report from his subordinates.
"Okay, that's all for the conversation, Walker pay attention to your body, don't smoke any more cigars, it will hurt your brain cells, you know, this experiment is only a brain transplant." Smith reminded.
"Alright, my old friend, I'll quit this last hobby. I hope you can bring me the news of the success of the research as soon as possible. Grandrent concluded.
As the yacht slowly sailed around the island, Yang Jingyi finally had an intuitive understanding of the place where she lived. Some places are winding and the water is quite deep, and the yacht can be a little closer to the shore. The vegetation on the island is still flourishing and has not been harmed by the arrival of people. Under the influence of the warm current of the North Atlantic, although it is only early spring, green shoots are still being drawn. At the place where the two islands meet, Xue Yunchu got off anchor and climbed onto the lookout. Although the environment here has been seen for a long time, he still needs to pay attention to any changes.
"The air here is really fresh, and you don't feel cold at all," Yang Jingyi said to him.
"Yes, it's the influence of ocean currents, and it's still very cold at this latitude in China." Xue Yunchu observed the surrounding sea environment, and there seemed to be no change. The position of the guard on the island has not changed. It is clearly visible from the place where the anchor was lowered.
"Alas, except for a flight home on New Year's Day, I don't know how my parents are doing now?" Yang Jingyi said worriedly.
"Parents?" Xue Yunchu didn't talk, he didn't have so-called parents at all, so he didn't have the closest people to rely on or remember, or was it better to miss it?
"I'm sorry, did I remind you of something unpleasant?" Yang Jingyi seemed to remember that the classmate's parents divorced very early, and turned her head to look at him.
"It's nothing, after so many years, I've long been used to being alone." Xue Yunchu didn't look at the other party's eyes, his gaze stayed on a seabird struggling to catch sea fish not far away. If you guessed correctly, it was nourishing the children in the nest who had just passed the winter.
The two were speechless for a while. The only thing in the sky is the occasional undulating seabird and the sound of waves crashing against the shore.
